Project description:Embryos classified as euploid or aneuploid by PGT-A were re-biopsied and processed for RNA-Seq using a commercial kit (Takara Bio, USA, SMART-Seq v4 Ultra Low Input RNA Kit for Sequencing) following the user manual. The resulting cDNAs were converted to libraries using a Nextera XT kit (Illumina, USA), with a modified protocol according to SMART-Seq v4 user manual. These libraries were pooled and sequenced using a NextSeq 550 instrument (Illumina, USA) with a MidOutput cartridge at 2x75 cycles. The sequencing reads in Fastq files were down-sampled to 6M total reads, aligned to the human genome assembly (hg38), and the number of transcripts per million (TPM) was determined using the CLC Genomics Workbench 12 (Qiagen, USA).

Project description:An inner cell mass biopsy and the remaining trophectoderm were separately collected from 14 blastocysts with preimplantation genetic testing result into RNAse-free PCR tubes containing 2 µl of 10X reaction buffer (SMART-Seq v4 Ultra-Low Input RNA kit for Sequencing, Takara Bio, USA). cDNA was obtained from mRNA with 3′SMART-Seq CDS primer II (Takara Bio, USA) and PCR-amplified (17 cycles) from 10 pg of RNA. Amplified cDNA was purified using AMPure XP magnetic beads (Illumina, USA). After confirming cDNA integrity on a 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, USA), 1 ng of cDNA per sample were fragmented, and libraries were constructed using NexteraXT DNA sample preparation (Illumina, USA). Samples were quantified using Qubit dsDNA Quantitation Assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA), and 3 samples were excluded due to poor cDNA quality. An RNA pool was generated with 25 samples using equal concentration (5 nM) of RNA per sample. Sequencing was performed in duplicate in a single run using an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 S1 platform (Illumina, USA) with a 200-nucleotide read length in a paired-end design (100-bp fragments). FastQC was used for checking the quality of the raw sequence data. Fragments that did not meet quality requirements were trimmed using Trimmomatic. Alignment and quantification were performed using the Salmon algorithm (reference genome GRCh38). Raw counts were directly used for differential gene expression analysis.

Project description:Trypanosomes were sorted (0 cells, 1 cell, 50 cells) using a FACSaria III (BD Biosciences; precision: single-cell; nozzle: 100 µm). Forward-scatter area (FCS-A) versus side-scatter area (SSC-A) was used to gate the cells. Trypanosomes were sorted in 48-wells plate (Brand) filled with 2.6 µL of lysis buffer (0.01 µL of RNAse inhibitor (Takara) and 1x Lysis buffer (Takara) in RNAse-free water). Immediately after sorting cells were placed on ice for 5 minutes and stored at -80 °C. 50 and single trypanosomes were prepared using SMART-Seq v4 Ultra Low Input RNA Kit (Takara) using one fourth of reagents volumes compared to the supplier instructions. PCR amplification was performed using 26 cycles using supplier recommendations. cDNA was purified using XP beads (Beckman Coulter) and recovered in 15 µL of elution buffer (Takara). Libraries were quantified using the Qubit Hs Assay (Life Technologies) and the qualities of the libraries were further monitored using a Bioanalyzer (Agilent). Similar to what has been published previously 19, 1 ng of cDNA was subjected to a tagmentation-based protocol (Nextera XT, Illumina) using one-quarter of the recommended volumes, 10 minuntes for tagmentation at 55 °C and 1 minute extension time during PCR amplification. Libraries were pooled (96 libraries for NextSeq) and sequencing was performed in paired-end mode for 2 × 75 cycles using Illumina's NextSeq 500.

Project description:Library preparation is a key step in gene expression quantification. There are considerable advantages to both strand specific sequencing and the ability to sequence samples with very small amounts of starting material. Until recently there was no kit available that allowed both simultaneously. The standard Illumina-TruSeq stranded mRNA Sample Preparation kit requires abundant starting quantity while the Takara Bio-SMART-Seq® v4 Ultra® Low Input RNA kit allows for ultra low starting quantities but sacrifices strand specificity. Recently a kit that can do both, SMARTer® Stranded Total RNA-Seq Kit v2 - Pico Input Mammalian by Takara Bio, has become available. Evaluating the performance and effects of these sample preparation kits is a critical determinant for selecting the appropriate sequencing protocol, but a comprehensive comparison is currently missing. To address this we performed a detailed comparative analysis of sequencing libraries prepared with the three kits. We prepared a set of samples representing two experimental conditions with each kit, allowing for comparison of the kits in a standard realistic differential expression analysis. We find substantial differences in the levels of alignment and differential gene expression. Using differential expression analysis we show that using Pico results in identifying 55% less differentially expressed genes than TruSeq. Nevertheless, using gene pathway enrichment analysis we find similar results for all three kits, indicating that ultimately comparable functional results can be reached.

Project description:Background: Genetic and genomic selection programs require large numbers of phenotypes observed for animals in shared environments. Direct measurements of phenotypes like meat quality, methane emission, and disease susceptibility are difficult and expensive to measure at scale but are critically important to livestock production. Our work leans on our understanding of the “Central Dogma” of molecular genetics to leverage molecular intermediates as cheaply-measured proxies of organism-level phenotypes. The rapidly declining cost of next-generation sequencing presents opportunities for population-level molecular phenotyping. While the cost of whole transcriptome sequencing has declined recently, its required sequencing depth still makes it an expensive choice for wide-scale molecular phenotyping. We aim to optimize 3′ mRNA sequencing (3′ mRNA-Seq) approaches for collecting cost-effective proxy molecular phenotypes for cattle from easy-to-collect tissue samples (i.e., whole blood). We used matched 3′ mRNA-Seq samples for 15 Holstein male calves in a heat stress trail to identify the 1) best library preparation kit (Takara SMART-Seq v4 3′ DE and Lexogen QuantSeq) and 2) optimal sequencing depth (0.5 to 20 million reads/sample) to capture gene expression phenotypes most cost-effectively. Results: Takara SMART-Seq v4 3′ DE outperformed Lexogen QuantSeq libraries across all metrics: number of quality reads, expressed genes, informative genes, differentially expressed genes, and 3′ biased intragenic variants. Serial downsampling analyses identified that as few as 8.0 million reads per sample could effectively capture most of the between-sample variation in gene expression. However, progressively more reads did provide marginal increases in recall across metrics. These 3′ mRNA-Seq reads can also capture animal genotypes that could be used as the basis for downstream imputation. The 10 million read downsampled groups called an average of 104,386 SNPs and 20,131 INDELs, many of which segregate at moderate minor allele frequencies in the population. Conclusion: This work demonstrates that 3′ mRNA-Seq with Takara SMART-Seq v4 3′ DE can provide an incredibly cost-effective (<$25/sample) approach to quantifying molecular phenotypes (gene expression) while discovering sufficient variation for use in genotype imputation. Ongoing work is evaluating the accuracy of imputation and the ability of much larger datasets to predict individual animal phenotypes.

Project description:In this study, we present a comprehensive evaluation of four RNA-Seq library preparation methods. We used three standard input protocols, the Illumina TruSeq Stranded Total RNA and TruSeq Stranded mRNA kits, and a modified NuGEN Ovation v2 kit; and an ultra-low-input RNA protocol, the TaKaRa SMARTer Ultra Low RNA Kit v3. Our evaluation of these kits included quality control measures such as overall reproducibility, 5’ and 3’ end-bias, and the identification of DEGs, lncRNAs, and alternatively spliced transcripts. Overall, we found that the two Illumina kits were most similar in terms of recovering DEGs, and the Illumina, modified NuGEN, and TaKaRa kits allowed identification of a similar set of DEGs. However, we also discovered that the Illumina, NuGEN and TaKaRa kits each enriched for different sets of genes.
