ASJA: A Program for Assembling Splice Junctions Analysis.

ABSTRACT: RNA splicing may generate different kinds of splice junctions, such as linear, back-splice and fusion junctions. Only a limited number of programs are available for detection and quantification of splice junctions. Here, we present Assembling Splice Junctions Analysis (ASJA), a software package that identifies and characterizes all splice junctions from high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data. ASJA processes assembled transcripts and chimeric alignments from the STAR aligner and StringTie assembler. ASJA provides the unique position and normalized expression level of each junction. Annotations and integrative analysis of the junctions enable additional filtering. It is also appropriate for the identification of novel junctions. ASJA is available at https://github.com/HuangLab-Fudan/ASJA.

TopHat: discovering splice junctions with RNA-Seq.

Project description:MotivationA new protocol for sequencing the messenger RNA in a cell, known as RNA-Seq, generates millions of short sequence fragments in a single run. These fragments, or 'reads', can be used to measure levels of gene expression and to identify novel splice variants of genes. However, current software for aligning RNA-Seq data to a genome relies on known splice junctions and cannot identify novel ones. TopHat is an efficient read-mapping algorithm designed to align reads from an RNA-Seq experiment to a reference genome without relying on known splice sites.ResultsWe mapped the RNA-Seq reads from a recent mammalian RNA-Seq experiment and recovered more than 72% of the splice junctions reported by the annotation-based software from that study, along with nearly 20,000 previously unreported junctions. The TopHat pipeline is much faster than previous systems, mapping nearly 2.2 million reads per CPU hour, which is sufficient to process an entire RNA-Seq experiment in less than a day on a standard desktop computer. We describe several challenges unique to ab initio splice site discovery from RNA-Seq reads that will require further algorithm development.AvailabilityTopHat is free, open-source software available from http://tophat.cbcb.umd.edu.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Splice junctions are constrained by protein disorder.

Project description:We have discovered that positions of splice junctions in genes are constrained by the tolerance for disorder-promoting amino acids in the translated protein region. It is known that efficient splicing requires nucleotide bias at the splice junction; the preferred usage produces a distribution of amino acids that is disorder-promoting. We observe that efficiency of splicing, as seen in the amino-acid distribution, is not compromised to accommodate globular structure. Thus we infer that it is the positions of splice junctions in the gene that must be under constraint by the local protein environment. Examining exonic splicing enhancers found near the splice junction in the gene, reveals that these (short DNA motifs) are more prevalent in exons that encode disordered protein regions than exons encoding structured regions. Thus we also conclude that local protein features constrain efficient splicing more in structure than in disorder.

SAGE2Splice: unmapped SAGE tags reveal novel splice junctions.

Project description:Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) not only is a method for profiling the global expression of genes, but also offers the opportunity for the discovery of novel transcripts. SAGE tags are mapped to known transcripts to determine the gene of origin. Tags that map neither to a known transcript nor to the genome were hypothesized to span a splice junction, for which the exon combination or exon(s) are unknown. To test this hypothesis, we have developed an algorithm, SAGE2Splice, to efficiently map SAGE tags to potential splice junctions in a genome. The algorithm consists of three search levels. A scoring scheme was designed based on position weight matrices to assess the quality of candidates. Using optimized parameters for SAGE2Splice analysis and two sets of SAGE data, candidate junctions were discovered for 5%-6% of unmapped tags. Candidates were classified into three categories, reflecting the previous annotations of the putative splice junctions. Analysis of predicted tags extracted from EST sequences demonstrated that candidate junctions having the splice junction located closer to the center of the tags are more reliable. Nine of these 12 candidates were validated by RT-PCR and sequencing, and among these, four revealed previously uncharacterized exons. Thus, SAGE2Splice provides a new functionality for the identification of novel transcripts and exons. SAGE2Splice is available online at http://www.cisreg.ca.

PAVE: program for assembling and viewing ESTs.

Project description:BackgroundNew sequencing technologies are rapidly emerging. Many laboratories are simultaneously working with the traditional Sanger ESTs and experimenting with ESTs generated by the 454 Life Science sequencers. Though Sanger ESTs have been used to generate contigs for many years, no program takes full advantage of the 5' and 3' mate-pair information, hence, many tentative transcripts are assembled into two separate contigs. The new 454 technology has the benefit of high-throughput expression profiling, but introduces time and space problems for assembling large contigs.ResultsThe PAVE (Program for Assembling and Viewing ESTs) assembler takes advantage of the 5' and 3' mate-pair information by requiring that the mate-pairs be assembled into the same contig and joined by n's if the two sub-contigs do not overlap. It handles the depth of 454 data sets by "burying" similar ESTs during assembly, which retains the expression level information while circumventing time and space problems. PAVE uses MegaBLAST for the clustering step and CAP3 for assembly, however it assembles incrementally to enforce the mate-pair constraint, bury ESTs, and reduce incorrect joins and splits. The PAVE data management system uses a MySQL database to store multiple libraries of ESTs along with their metadata; the management system allows multiple assemblies with variations on libraries and parameters. Analysis routines provide standard annotation for the contigs including a measure of differentially expressed genes across the libraries. A Java viewer program is provided for display and analysis of the results. Our results clearly show the benefit of using the PAVE assembler to explicitly use mate-pair information and bury ESTs for large contigs.ConclusionThe PAVE assembler provides a software package for assembling Sanger and/or 454 ESTs. The assembly software, data management software, Java viewer and user's guide are freely available.

Targeted RT-PCR assays spanning unannotated splice junctions sequenced by Roche 454.

Project description:The ENCODE projects seeks to identify and characterize functional elements in the human genome. Throughout the scale-up phase of ENCODE, the transcriptome group has generate Long RNA-Seq, Small RNA-Seq, Cap-Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE), and RNA-PET short read data on the Illumina platform for ~ 40 different human primary and transformed cell lines in replicate. From these data several high-resolution and discrete features/elements have been mined out (5’ caps, splice junctions, polyadenylation sites, small RNAs, etc…). However, because these data are obtained from short-read data, we have only limited “connectivity” information. For example, from the long RNA-Seq data, which was sequenced in mate-pair fashion with average insert sizes ~ 200 bp, we know that the sequence from mate 1 is physically linked to the sequence in mate 2. We don’t know the sequence in between and we don’t know how this mate-pair is connected to other mate-pairs in the context of longer transcripts in vivo. To date, this information is gleaned from models generated in silico: In our case, by the program Cufflinks. Consequently, we have a collection of transcript models exhibiting a vast array of local complexity assembled from short read data that need to be experimentally tested. Alternatively, one can “cut to the chase” and use a more raw/elemental form of the data as a basis for additional experimentation to clone out the longer sequences generated in vivo.

NanoSplicer: accurate identification of splice junctions using Oxford Nanopore sequencing.

Project description:MotivationLong-read sequencing methods have considerable advantages for characterizing RNA isoforms. Oxford Nanopore sequencing records changes in electrical current when nucleic acid traverses through a pore. However, basecalling of this raw signal (known as a squiggle) is error prone, making it challenging to accurately identify splice junctions. Existing strategies include utilizing matched short-read data and/or annotated splice junctions to correct nanopore reads but add expense or limit junctions to known (incomplete) annotations. Therefore, a method that could accurately identify splice junctions solely from nanopore data would have numerous advantages.ResultsWe developed 'NanoSplicer' to identify splice junctions using raw nanopore signal (squiggles). For each splice junction, the observed squiggle is compared to candidate squiggles representing potential junctions to identify the correct candidate. Measuring squiggle similarity enables us to compute the probability of each candidate junction and find the most likely one. We tested our method using (i) synthetic mRNAs with known splice junctions and (ii) biological mRNAs from a lung-cancer cell-line. The results from both datasets demonstrate NanoSplicer improves splice junction identification, especially when the basecalling error rate near the splice junction is elevated.Availability and implementationNanoSplicer is available at https://github.com/shimlab/NanoSplicer and archived at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6403849.
