Long-read transcriptomics of a diverse human cohort reveals widespread ancestry bias in gene annotation

ABSTRACT: Understanding gene expression diversity across human populations is essential for accurate genome annotation and disease interpretation. However, existing annotations are primarily based on European-derived transcriptomic data, potentially limiting their applicability to other populations. This study aims to assess population-specific transcript diversity and its impact on gene annotation. To achieve this, we performed long-read RNA sequencing on lymphoblastoid cell lines from 43 individuals across eight globally diverse populations. Our workflow included RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, and sequencing using Oxford Nanopore long-read technology, followed by transcript assembly and comparison with existing gene annotations. We also integrated novel transcripts into reference annotations to evaluate their effect on allele-specific transcript usage detection. This work provides a critical step toward improving transcriptome annotation across diverse populations, ensuring a more comprehensive representation of human genetic variation.

Identification of tens of thousands of novel gene loci in the human and mouse genomes through targeted full-length long-read RNA sequencing

Project description:The GENCODE project is a long-term international effort to produce a comprehensive and accurate map of genes and transcripts for the human and mouse genomes. While the annotation of protein-coding genes is nearly complete, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) remain poorly characterized, with existing catalogs lacking consistency and experimental support. To address this, GENCODE used a targeted RNA sequencing approach to capture RNA from various human and mouse tissues, employing advanced sequencing technologies (ONT, PacBio, and Illumina). This resulted in the prediction of around half a million transcript models for both species. GENCODE then re-engineered its curation pipeline to handle this data, leading to the annotation of 16,817 new human genes (132,049 transcripts) and 22,210 new mouse genes (131,546 transcripts)—a significant increase in lncRNA annotations. The newly identified genes and transcripts have similar features to previously annotated lncRNAs and are linked to human phenotypes through GWAS and evolutionary conservation. Furthermore, the project has expanded the map of lncRNA orthology between humans and mice, especially for disease-associated lncRNAs. These updates enhance the functional interpretation of the human genome, connecting millions of previously unassigned omics data points (e.g., CAGE tags, ChIP-Seq peaks, genetic variants) to specific transcriptional units and regulatory regions. This marks a significant advancement toward a complete lncRNA catalog for human and mouse genomes.

CapTrap-Seq: A platform-agnostic and quantitative approach for high-fidelity full-length RNA transcript sequencing

Project description:Here we describe CapTrap-Seq, an experimental workflow designed to address the problem of reduced transcript end detection by long-read RNA sequencing methods, especially at the 5' ends. We apply CapTrap-Seq to profile transcriptomes of the human heart and brain and we compared the obtained results with other library preparation approaches. CapTrap-Seq is a platform-agnostic method and here tested the method by using 3 different long-read sequencing platforms: MinION (ONT), Sequel (PacBaio) and Sequel II (PacBio).

High-throughput manual-quality annotation of full-length long noncoding RNAs with Capture Long-Read Sequencing (CLS)

Project description:Accurate annotations of genes and their transcripts is a foundation of genomics, but no annotation technique presently combines throughput and accuracy. As a result, the GENCODE reference collection of long noncoding RNAs remains far from complete: many are fragmentary, while thousands more remain uncatalogued. To accelerate lncRNA annotation, we have developed RNA Capture Long Seq (CLS), combining targeted RNA capture with third generation long-read sequencing. We present an experimental re-annotation of the entire GENCODE intergenic lncRNA populations in matched human and mouse tissues. CLS approximately doubles the complexity of targeted loci, both in terms of validated splice junctions and transcript models. Through its identification of full-length transcript models, CLS allows the first definitive measurement of promoter features, gene structure and protein-coding potential of lncRNAs. Thus CLS removes a longstanding bottleneck of transcriptome annotation, generating manual-quality full-length transcript models at high-throughput scales.

Multilayered Omics Revealsl Sex- and Depot-Dependent Adipose Progenitor Cell Heterogeneity

Project description:White adipose tissue (WAT) harbors functionally diverse subpopulations of adipose progenitor cells that differentially impact tissue plasticity in a sex- and depot-dependent manner. To date, the molecular basis of this cellular heterogeneity has not been fully defined. Here, we describe a multilayered omics approach to dissect adipose progenitor cell heterogeneity from in three dimensions: progenitor subpopulation, sex, and anatomical localization. We applied state-of-the-art mass spectrometry methods to quantify 4870 proteins in eight different stromal cell populations from perigonadal and inguinal WAT of male and female mice and acquired transcript expression levels of 15477 genes using RNA-seq. Notably, our data highlight the molecular signatures defining sex differences in PDGFR+ preadipocyte differentiation and identify regulatory pathways that functionally distinguish adipose tissue PDGFRb+ subpopulations. The data are freely accessible as a resource at "Pread Profiler. Together, the multilayered omics analysis provides unprecedented insights into adipose stromal cell heterogeneity.

Simulation-based assessment of differential transcript usage using RNA-seq data: a matter of counting

Project description:'Background: Large-scale sequencing of cDNA (RNA-seq) has been a boon to the quantitative analysis of transcriptomes. A notable application of significant biomedical relevance is the detection of changes in transcript usage between experimental conditions. For example, discovery of pathological alternative splicing may allow the development of new treatments or better management of patients. From an analysis perspective, there are several ways to represent RNA-seq data to unravel differential transcript usage, such as annotation-based exon-level counting, differential analysis of the `percent spliced in'' measure or quantitative analysis of assembled transcripts. The goal of this research is to compare and contrast current state-of-the-art methods, as well as to suggest improvements to commonly used workflows. Results: We assess the performance of representative workflows using synthetic data, and explore the effect of using non-standard counting bin definitions as input to a state-of-the-art inference engine (DEXSeq). Although the canonical counting provided the best results overall, several non-canonical approaches were as good or better in specific aspects, and most counting approaches outperformed the evaluated event- and assembly-based methods. We show that an incomplete annotation catalog can have a detrimental effect on the ability to detect differential transcript usage in transcriptomes with few isoforms per gene, and that isoform-level pre-filtering can considerably improve the false discovery rate (FDR) control. Conclusion: Count-based methods generally perform well in detection of differential transcript usage. Controlling the FDR at the imposed threshold is difficult, mainly in complex organisms, but can be improved by pre-filtering of the annotation catalog.'

Precise Transcript Reconstruction with End-Guided Assembly

Project description:Accurate annotation of transcript isoforms is crucial to understand gene functions, but automated methods for reconstructing full-length transcripts from RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data remain imprecise. We developed Bookend, a software package for transcript assembly that incorporates data from different RNA-seq techniques, with a focus on identifying and utilizing RNA 5′ and 3′ ends. Through end-guided assembly with Bookend we demonstrate that correct modeling of transcript start and end sites is essential for precise transcript assembly. Furthermore, we discovered that utilization of end-labeled reads present in full-length single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) datasets dramatically improves the precision of transcript assembly in single cells. Finally, we show that hybrid assembly across short-read, long-read, and end-capture RNA-seq datasets from Arabidopsis, as well as meta-assembly of RNA-seq from single mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) can produce end-to-end transcript annotations of comparable quality to reference annotations in these model organisms.
