Extension of 5’ and 3’ ends of human lncRNA transcripts by RACE-coupled long-read high-throughput sequencing (RACE-seq)


ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) constitute a large fraction of mammalian transcriptomes that still remains unexplored, mainly due to the lack of comprehensive, high-quality lncRNA annotation that limits the possibility to fully explore their functional capacity. We have developed RACE-seq, an experimental workflow based on RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends) and long read RNA sequencing, aimed at both rare isoform discovery and better definition of gene boundaries. We applied 3’ and 5’ RACE-seq on 398 low-expressed GENCODE v7 lncRNA genes in seven human tissues (brain, testis, heart, kidney, liver, lung and spleen). The sequences obtained led to the discovery of 2,641 on-target, previously unknown alternative transcripts. Novel isoforms extended 60% of the 398 targeted lncRNA loci further in either 5' or 3', and often reached genome hallmarks typical of gene boundaries. In parallel, we used nested RACE-seq, and confirmed that nested RACE-seq has overwhelmingly better sensitivity than its standard counterpart.
