Targets of RNA-binding proteins discovered by editing (TRIBE) determines RNA-proteins interactions and nuclear organization with minimal false positives. We detail necessary steps for performing mammalian cell RBP-TRIBE to determine the targets of RNA-binding proteins and MS2-TRIBE to determine RNA-RNA interactions within the nucleus. Necessary steps for performing a TRIBE experiment are detailed, starting with plasmid/cell line generation, cellular transfection, and RNA sequencing library preparation and concluding with bioinformatics analysis of RNA editing sites and identification of target RNAs.
