Traditional versus 3' RNA-seq in a non-model species.

ABSTRACT: One limitation of the widely used RNA-seq method is that long transcripts are represented by more reads than shorter transcripts, resulting in a biased estimation of expression levels. The 3' RNA-seq method, which yields only one sequence per transcript, bypasses this limitation. Here, RNA was extracted from two samples, in which we expected to find differentially expressed genes. Each was processed by both traditional and 3' RNA-seq protocols. Both methods yielded similar differentially expressed genes and estimated expression levels in a comparable way, confirming they both represent valid tools for RNA-seq analysis. Notably, however, we identified more differentially expressed transcripts with the 3' RNA-seq method, suggesting a greater power to detect expression variation using this method. Hence, when little genomic information is available for the species studied, the standard RNA-seq presents a better cost-benefit compromise, whereas for model species, the 3' RNA-seq method might more accurately detect differential expression.

Gene expression profiling of non-polyadenylated RNA-seq across species.

Project description:Transcriptomes are dynamic and unique, with each cell type/tissue, developmental stage and species expressing a different repertoire of RNA transcripts. Most mRNAs and well-characterized long noncoding RNAs are shaped with a 5' cap and 3' poly(A) tail, thus conventional transcriptome analyses typically start with the enrichment of poly(A)+ RNAs by oligo(dT) selection, followed by deep sequencing approaches. However, accumulated lines of evidence suggest that many RNA transcripts are processed by alternative mechanisms without 3' poly(A) tails and, therefore, fail to be enriched by oligo(dT) purification and are absent following deep sequencing analyses. We have described an enrichment strategy to purify non-polyadenylated (poly(A)-/ribo-) RNAs from human total RNAs by removal of both poly(A)+ RNA transcripts and ribosomal RNAs, which led to the identification of many novel RNA transcripts with non-canonical 3' ends in human. Here, we describe the application of non-polyadenylated RNA-sequencing in rhesus monkey and mouse cell lines/tissue, and further profile the transcription of non-polyadenylated RNAs across species, providing new resources for non-polyadenylated RNA identification and comparison across species.

Quantitative RNA-Seq analysis in non-model species: assessing transcriptome assemblies as a scaffold and the utility of evolutionary divergent genomic reference species.

Project description:BackgroundHow well does RNA-Seq data perform for quantitative whole gene expression analysis in the absence of a genome? This is one unanswered question facing the rapidly growing number of researchers studying non-model species. Using Homo sapiens data and resources, we compared the direct mapping of sequencing reads to predicted genes from the genome with mapping to de novo transcriptomes assembled from RNA-Seq data. Gene coverage and expression analysis was further investigated in the non-model context by using increasingly divergent genomic reference species to group assembled contigs by unique genes.ResultsEight transcriptome sets, composed of varying amounts of Illumina and 454 data, were assembled and assessed. Hybrid 454/Illumina assemblies had the highest transcriptome and individual gene coverage. Quantitative whole gene expression levels were highly similar between using a de novo hybrid assembly and the predicted genes as a scaffold, although mapping to the de novo transcriptome assembly provided data on fewer genes. Using non-target species as reference scaffolds does result in some loss of sequence and expression data, and bias and error increase with evolutionary distance. However, within a 100 million year window these effect sizes are relatively small.ConclusionsPredicted gene sets from sequenced genomes of related species can provide a powerful method for grouping RNA-Seq reads and annotating contigs. Gene expression results can be produced that are similar to results obtained using gene models derived from a high quality genome, though biased towards conserved genes. Our results demonstrate the power and limitations of conducting RNA-Seq in non-model species.

Comparison of Poly(A) capture versus Ribosomal RNA depletion methods for RNA-seq

Project description:Methods: RNA-sequencing was performed on matched samples obtained across several different gene expression measurement methods including: (a) fresh-frozen (FF) RNA samples by mRNA-seq, Ribo-zero and DSN and (b) FFPE samples by Ribo-zero and DSN. We also assayed the matched samples with Agilent microarray. RNA-seq data was compared on the rRNA-removal efficiency, genome profile, library complexity, coverage uniformity and quantitative cosinstency across protocols and with microarray data. Results: Compared to mRNA-seq, Ribo-zero provides equivalent percentage of rRNA component, genome-based mapped reads, and consistent quantification of transcripts. Moreover, Ribo-zero and DSN protocols achieve concordant transcript profiling in FFPE samples, and provide substantially more information on non-poly(A) RNA, which cannot be captured by mRNA-seq. Therefore, our study provides evidence that RNA-sequencing can generate accurate and reproducible transcript quantification using FFPE tissues. mRNA profile of 11 breast tumors were assayed by Agilent microarray, and by RNA-sequencing on libraries including: (a) fresh-frozen (FF) RNA samples by mRNA-seq, Ribo-zero and DSN and (b) FFPE samples by Ribo-zero and DSN, using Illunia HiSeq2000 2x50bp. RNA-Seq raw data is to be made available through dbGaP (controlled access) due to patient privacy concerns: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gap/?term=phs000676

Application of DArT seq derived SNP tags for comparative genome analysis in fishes; An alternative pipeline using sequence data from a non-traditional model species, Macquaria ambigua.

Project description:Bi-allelic Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers are widely used in population genetic studies. In most studies, sequences either side of the SNPs remain unused, although these sequences contain information beyond that used in population genetic studies. In this study, we show how these sequence tags either side of a single nucleotide polymorphism can be used for comparative genome analysis. We used DArTseq (Diversity Array Technology) derived SNP data for a non-model Australian native freshwater fish, Macquaria ambigua, to identify genes linked to SNP associated sequence tags, and to discover homologies with evolutionarily conserved genes and genomic regions. We concatenated 6,776 SNP sequence tags to create a hypothetical genome (representing 0.1-0.3% of the actual genome), which we used to find sequence homologies with 12 model fish species using the Ensembl genome browser with stringent filtering parameters. We identified sequence homologies for 17 evolutionarily conserved genes (cd9b, plk2b, rhot1b, sh3pxd2aa, si:ch211-148f13.1, si:dkey-166d12.2, zgc:66447, atp8a2, clvs2, lyst, mkln1, mnd1, piga, pik3ca, plagl2, rnf6, sec63) along with an ancestral evolutionarily conserved syntenic block (euteleostomi Block_210). Our analysis also revealed repetitive sequences covering approximately 12% of the hypothetical genome where DNA transposon, LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons were most abundant. A hierarchical pattern of the number of sequence homologies with phylogenetically close species validated the approach for repeatability. This new approach of using SNP associated sequence tags for comparative genome analysis may provide insight into the genome evolution of non-model species where whole genome sequences are unavailable.

RNA-seq Analysis of Salt-Stressed Versus Non Salt-Stressed Transcriptomes of Chenopodium quinoa Landrace R49.

Project description:Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), a model halophytic crop species, was used to shed light on salt tolerance mechanisms at the transcriptomic level. An RNA-sequencing analysis of genotype R49 at an early vegetative stage was performed by Illumina paired-ends method comparing high salinity and control conditions in a time-course pot experiment. Genome-wide transcriptional salt-induced changes and expression profiling of relevant salt-responsive genes in plants treated or not with 300 mM NaCl were analyzed after 1 h and 5 days. We obtained up to 49 million pairs of short reads with an average length of 101 bp, identifying a total of 2416 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) based on the treatment and time of sampling. In salt-treated vs. control plants, the total number of up-regulated and down-regulated genes was 945 and 1471, respectively. The number of DEGs was higher at 5 days than at 1 h after salt treatment, as reflected in the number of transcription factors, which increased with time. We report a strong transcriptional reprogramming of genes involved in biological processes like oxidation-reduction, response to stress and response to abscisic acid (ABA), and cell wall organization. Transcript analyses by real-time RT- qPCR supported the RNA-seq results and shed light on the contribution of roots and shoots to the overall transcriptional response. In addition, it revealed a time-dependent response in the expression of the analyzed DEGs, including a quick (within 1 h) response for some genes, suggesting a "stress-anticipatory preparedness" in this highly salt-tolerant genotype.

Extending marine species distribution maps using non-traditional sources.

Project description:Traditional sources of species occurrence data such as peer-reviewed journal articles and museum-curated collections are included in species databases after rigorous review by species experts and evaluators. The distribution maps created in this process are an important component of species survival evaluations, and are used to adapt, extend and sometimes contract polygons used in the distribution mapping process.During an IUCN Red List Gulf of Mexico Fishes Assessment Workshop held at The Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies, a session included an open discussion on the topic of including other sources of species occurrence data. During the last decade, advances in portable electronic devices and applications enable 'citizen scientists' to record images, location and data about species sightings, and submit that data to larger species databases. These applications typically generate point data. Attendees of the workshop expressed an interest in how that data could be incorporated into existing datasets, how best to ascertain the quality and value of that data, and what other alternate data sources are available. This paper addresses those issues, and provides recommendations to ensure quality data use.

Prediction and Characterization of miRNA/Target Pairs in Non-Model Plants Using RNA-seq.

Project description:Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) are ∼20- to 24-nucleotide small RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression of mRNA targets. Here, we present a workflow to characterize the miRNA transcriptome of a non-model plant, focusing on miRNAs and targets that are differentially expressed under one experimental treatment. We cover RNA-seq experimental design to create paired small RNA and mRNA libraries and perform quality control of raw data, de novo mRNA transcriptome assembly and annotation, miRNA prediction, differential expression, target identification, and functional enrichment analysis. Additionally, we include validation of differential expression and miRNA-induced target cleavage using qRT-PCR and modified RNA ligase-mediated 5' rapid amplification of cDNA ends, respectively. Our procedure relies on freely available software and web resources. It is intended for users that lack programming skills but can navigate a command-line interface. To enable an understanding of formatting requirements and anticipated results, we provide sample RNA-seq data and key input/output files for each stage. © 2019 The Authors.

Dynamic Model for RNA-seq Data Analysis.

Project description:By measuring messenger RNA levels for all genes in a sample, RNA-seq provides an attractive option to characterize the global changes in transcription. RNA-seq is becoming the widely used platform for gene expression profiling. However, real transcription signals in the RNA-seq data are confounded with measurement and sequencing errors and other random biological/technical variation. To extract biologically useful transcription process from the RNA-seq data, we propose to use the second ODE for modeling the RNA-seq data. We use differential principal analysis to develop statistical methods for estimation of location-varying coefficients of the ODE. We validate the accuracy of the ODE model to fit the RNA-seq data by prediction analysis and 5-fold cross validation. To further evaluate the performance of the ODE model for RNA-seq data analysis, we used the location-varying coefficients of the second ODE as features to classify the normal and tumor cells. We demonstrate that even using the ODE model for single gene we can achieve high classification accuracy. We also conduct response analysis to investigate how the transcription process responds to the perturbation of the external signals and identify dozens of genes that are related to cancer.

Non-linear Normalization for Non-UMI Single Cell RNA-Seq.

Project description:Single cell RNA-seq data, like data from other sequencing technology, contain systematic technical noise. Such noise results from a combined effect of unequal efficiencies in the capturing and counting of mRNA molecules, such as extraction/amplification efficiency and sequencing depth. We show that such technical effects are not only cell-specific, but also affect genes differently, thus a simple cell-wise size factor adjustment may not be sufficient. We present a non-linear normalization approach that provides a cell- and gene-specific normalization factor for each gene in each cell. We show that the proposed normalization method (implemented in "SC2P" package) reduces more technical variation than competing methods, without reducing biological variation. When technical effects such as sequencing depths are not balanced between cell populations, SC2P normalization also removes the bias due to uneven technical noise. This method is applicable to scRNA-seq experiments that do not use unique molecular identifier (UMI) thus retain amplification biases.
