Obtaining high-quality draft genomes from uncultured microbes by cleaning and co-assembly of single-cell amplified genomes.

ABSTRACT: Single-cell genomics is a straightforward approach to obtain genomes from uncultured microbes. However, sequence reads from a single-cell amplified genome (SAG) contain significant bias and chimeric sequences. Here, we describe Cleaning and Co-assembly of a Single-Cell Amplified Genome (ccSAG), a novel analytical workflow to obtain composite single-cell genomes with elimination of sequence errors. By the integration of ccSAG with a massively parallel single-cell genome amplification platform based on droplet microfluidics, we can generate multiple SAGs and effectively integrate them into the composite genomes quality equivalent to the data obtained from bulk DNA. We obtained two novel draft genomes from single gut microbial cells with high completeness (>96.6%) and extremely low contamination (<1.25%). Moreover, we revealed the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the specific gene by sequence comparison at the single-cell level. Thus, the workflow yields near-complete genomes from uncultured microbes, and enables analyses of genetic heterogeneity within identical strains.

Project description:BackgroundIn conventional approaches to plastid and mitochondrial genome sequencing, the sequencing steps are performed separately; thus, plastid DNA (ptDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) should be prepared independently. However, it is difficult to extract pure ptDNA and mtDNA from plant tissue. Following the development of high-throughput sequencing technology, many researchers have attempted to obtain plastid genomes or mitochondrial genomes using high-throughput sequencing data from total DNA. Unfortunately, the huge datasets generated consume massive computing and storage resources and cost a great deal, and even more importantly, excessive pollution reads affect the accuracy of the assembly. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an effective method that can generate base sequences from plant tissue and that is suitable for all plant species. Here, we describe a highly effective, low-cost method for obtaining plastid and mitochondrial genomes simultaneously.ResultsFirst, we obtained high-quality DNA employing Partial Concentration Extraction. Second, we evaluated the purity of the DNA sample and determined the sequencing dataset size employing Vector Control Quantitative Analysis. Third, paired-end reads were obtained using a high-throughput sequencing platform. Fourth, we obtained scaffolds employing Two-step Assembly. Finally, we filled in gaps using specific methods and obtained complete plastid and mitochondrial genomes. To ensure the accuracy of plastid and mitochondrial genomes, we validated the assembly using PCR and Sanger sequencing. Using this method,we obtained complete plastid and mitochondrial genomes with lengths of 153,533 nt and 223,412 nt separately.ConclusionA simple method for extracting, evaluating, sequencing and assembling plastid and mitochondrial genomes was developed. This method has many advantages: it is timesaving, inexpensive and reproducible and produces high-quality sequence. Furthermore, this method can produce plastid and mitochondrial genomes simultaneously and be used for other plant species. Due to its simplicity and extensive applicability, this method will support research on plant cytoplasmic genomes.
