Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in gene expression, stress response, and intercellular communication. These small RNA fragments, generated through specific cleavage of mature or precursor tRNAs, exhibit diverse biological activities—from modulating translation and ribosome biogenesis to influencing epigenetic control and disease development. The increasing recognition of tsRNAs as key molecular players in cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic diseases has created an urgent demand for high-quality synthetic tsRNAs that can be precisely designed, chemically modified, and functionally validated. At BOC Sciences, we offer comprehensive tsRNA Synthesis Services to meet the most demanding research needs. Our expertise in oligo synthesis and RNA chemistry enables us to deliver tailor-made tsRNAs with exceptional sequence accuracy, structural integrity, and modification flexibility—empowering researchers to confidently explore tsRNA function and mechanism in diverse biological systems.
Research on transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) often faces technical barriers that limit data quality and reproducibility. BOC Sciences' tsRNA Synthesis Service is designed to overcome these challenges by delivering highly precise, modification-accurate, and reproducible synthetic tsRNAs.
Reliable Reproducibility: Consistent synthesis protocols eliminate batch-to-batch variation and ensure dependable experimental outcomes.

BOC Sciences provides end-to-end custom sequence design and optimization to ensure each tsRNA exhibits both chemical fidelity and biological relevance. Our team collaborates closely with researchers to reconstruct sequences that reflect authentic cleavage patterns and conformational stability.
Through this integrative approach, BOC Sciences delivers synthetic tsRNAs that not only match the native sequence but also retain the correct biochemical behavior in experimental systems.
Because tsRNAs are defined by their rich modification landscape, accurate functional reproduction requires precise incorporation of post-transcriptional marks. BOC Sciences provides one of the most extensive tsRNA modification portfolios available, applying state-of-the-art phosphoramidite chemistry to ensure authentic molecular mimicry. Supported modifications include:
Clients may request fully modified tsRNAs that precisely reproduce endogenous species, partially modified analogs to probe biological relevance, or synthetic controls for comparative mechanistic studies.
Precise control over fragment length and terminal composition is fundamental for maintaining the structural authenticity and biological relevance of tsRNAs. Even subtle variations in nucleotide length or terminal chemistry can significantly alter tsRNA function, target affinity, and cellular stability. To ensure complete experimental flexibility, BOC Sciences offers fine-tuned customization of both tsRNA fragment size and end configuration to match natural cleavage or designed functional requirements.
Our synthesis system supports a full range of fragment sizes:
In addition, we enable precise end-group control to reflect natural enzymatic cleavage signatures or experimental designs:
By reproducing both the sequence-specific architecture and terminal chemistry of native tsRNAs, BOC Sciences ensures that each synthetic molecule behaves predictably in downstream assays—whether for mechanistic research, binding assays, or cellular functional validation.
BOC Sciences employs a rigorously optimized tsRNA synthesis workflow that integrates advanced chemical techniques with stringent analytical validation. Each step is engineered for precision, reproducibility, and authenticity, ensuring that every tsRNA faithfully mimics its natural counterpart.
Each project begins with an in-depth consultation to understand the biological objectives, target tsRNA type (5′ or 3′ fragment), and desired modifications. Our scientific team uses advanced design algorithms and tRNA cleavage mapping data to develop optimized synthetic blueprints that mimic endogenous tsRNAs.
Before synthesis begins, each tsRNA sequence undergoes predictive modeling to assess folding stability, base pairing, and modification feasibility. This proprietary computational screening minimizes synthesis errors and ensures optimal yield for complex or heavily modified sequences.
Using next-generation phosphoramidite chemistry optimized for short RNA fragments, tsRNAs are synthesized on automated high-precision platforms. Reaction conditions are fine-tuned in real-time to maintain coupling efficiency, enabling accurate incorporation of natural and modified nucleotides.
After synthesis, the tsRNA is carefully deprotected and cleaved from the solid support. BOC Sciences employs multi-dimensional HPLC and PAGE purification to remove truncated sequences, side products, and residual reagents, resulting in a high product purity.
Every synthesized tsRNA undergoes rigorous multi-parameter characterization, including LC-MS for mass validation, CE or PAGE for size verification, and UV spectroscopy for concentration and purity assessment. This ensures structural integrity, modification accuracy, and experimental consistency.
The finalized tsRNA is delivered lyophilized with complete QC documentation and analytical data. Our team provides continued technical support—offering guidance on resuspension, storage, and downstream applications to ensure immediate usability and reliable experimental outcomes.

tsRNA synthesis refers to the artificial production of transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), which are small fragments generated from tRNA cleavage. Synthetic tsRNAs enable researchers to study their biological roles, validate biomarkers, and explore therapeutic targets in controlled experimental settings.
Most tsRNAs range from 15 to 35 nucleotides, depending on their origin (5′-derived or 3′-derived fragments). Our synthesis platform supports custom lengths beyond this range if required for mechanistic studies, enabling researchers to test truncated or extended variants for structure–function analysis.
Yes. Our synthesis technology enables site-specific incorporation of natural modifications such as N¹-methyladenosine (m1A), 5-methylcytidine (m5C), pseudouridine (Ψ), 2′-O-methylation, and thiolation. These modifications are introduced using pre-modified phosphoramidite monomers or selective post-synthetic derivatization, allowing faithful recreation of endogenous tsRNA structures and improved biological stability.
Each synthesized tsRNA undergoes mass spectrometric and chromatographic characterization. LC-MS confirms molecular weight and verifies that all modifications are correctly incorporated, while HPLC and PAGE analyses assess purity and identify potential truncated products. For modified tsRNAs, additional UV or CE profiling is performed to validate base modification patterns.
Lyophilized tsRNAs should be stored at −20°C or below in RNase-free tubes. Upon reconstitution in RNase-free water or TE buffer (pH 7.5–8.0), samples should be aliquoted to avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. For long-term stability, storing in buffers containing RNase inhibitors or low ionic strength is recommended.
Yes. We provide incorporation of modified backbones (e.g., phosphorothioate, boranophosphate) and base analogs (e.g., 2-aminopurine, 5-bromouracil). These analogs are valuable tools for structural probing, fluorescence-based studies, and investigations into RNA–protein recognition dynamics.
Our service covers a broad range—from nanomole quantities for discovery research to gram-scale production for preclinical testing or screening campaigns. Process scalability is fully validated, maintaining identical synthesis conditions to ensure uniformity between small- and large-scale batches.
