High throughput barcoding method for genome-scale phasing.

ABSTRACT: The future of human genomics is one that seeks to resolve the entirety of genetic variation through sequencing. The prospect of utilizing genomics for medical purposes require cost-efficient and accurate base calling, long-range haplotyping capability, and reliable calling of structural variants. Short-read sequencing has lead the development towards such a future but has struggled to meet the latter two of these needs. To address this limitation, we developed a technology that preserves the molecular origin of short sequencing reads, with an insignificant increase to sequencing costs. We demonstrate a novel library preparation method for high throughput barcoding of short reads where millions of random barcodes can be used to reconstruct megabase-scale phase blocks.

Microfluidic Enrichment Barcoding (MEBarcoding): a new method for high throughput plant DNA barcoding.

Project description:DNA barcoding is a valuable tool to support species identification with broad applications from traditional taxonomy, ecology, forensics, food analysis, and environmental science. We introduce Microfluidic Enrichment Barcoding (MEBarcoding) for plant DNA Barcoding, a cost-effective method for high-throughput DNA barcoding. MEBarcoding uses the Fluidigm Access Array to simultaneously amplify targeted regions for 48 DNA samples and hundreds of PCR primer pairs (producing up to 23,040 PCR products) during a single thermal cycling protocol. As a proof of concept, we developed a microfluidic PCR workflow using the Fluidigm Access Array and Illumina MiSeq. We tested 96 samples for each of the four primary DNA barcode loci in plants: rbcL, matK, trnH-psbA, and ITS. This workflow was used to build a reference library for 78 families and 96 genera from all major plant lineages - many currently lacking in public databases. Our results show that this technique is an efficient alternative to traditional PCR and Sanger sequencing to generate large amounts of plant DNA barcodes and build more comprehensive barcode databases.

High-throughput in situ experimental phasing.

Project description:In this article, a new approach to experimental phasing for macromolecular crystallography (MX) at synchrotrons is introduced and described for the first time. It makes use of automated robotics applied to a multi-crystal framework in which human intervention is reduced to a minimum. Hundreds of samples are automatically soaked in heavy-atom solutions, using a Labcyte Inc. Echo 550 Liquid Handler, in a highly controlled and optimized fashion in order to generate derivatized and isomorphous crystals. Partial data sets obtained on MX beamlines using an in situ setup for data collection are processed with the aim of producing good-quality anomalous signal leading to successful experimental phasing.

Single-cell genome sequencing at ultra-high-throughput with microfluidic droplet barcoding.

Project description:The application of single-cell genome sequencing to large cell populations has been hindered by technical challenges in isolating single cells during genome preparation. Here we present single-cell genomic sequencing (SiC-seq), which uses droplet microfluidics to isolate, fragment, and barcode the genomes of single cells, followed by Illumina sequencing of pooled DNA. We demonstrate ultra-high-throughput sequencing of >50,000 cells per run in a synthetic community of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. The sequenced genomes can be sorted in silico based on characteristic sequences. We use this approach to analyze the distributions of antibiotic-resistance genes, virulence factors, and phage sequences in microbial communities from an environmental sample. The ability to routinely sequence large populations of single cells will enable the de-convolution of genetic heterogeneity in diverse cell populations.

RELACS nuclei barcoding enables high-throughput ChIP-seq.

Project description:Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) is an invaluable tool for mapping chromatin-associated proteins. Current barcoding strategies aim to improve assay throughput and scalability but intense sample handling and lack of standardization over cell types, cell numbers and epitopes hinder wide-spread use in the field. Here, we present a barcoding method to enable high-throughput ChIP-seq using common molecular biology techniques. The method, called RELACS (restriction enzyme-based labeling of chromatin in situ) relies on standardized nuclei extraction from any source and employs chromatin cutting and barcoding within intact nuclei. Barcoded nuclei are pooled and processed within the same ChIP reaction, for maximal comparability and workload reduction. The innovative barcoding concept is particularly user-friendly and suitable for implementation to standardized large-scale clinical studies and scarce samples. Aiming to maximize universality and scalability, RELACS can generate ChIP-seq libraries for transcription factors and histone modifications from hundreds of samples within three days.

Fast iodide-SAD phasing for high-throughput membrane protein structure determination.

Project description:We describe a fast, easy, and potentially universal method for the de novo solution of the crystal structures of membrane proteins via iodide-single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (I-SAD). The potential universality of the method is based on a common feature of membrane proteins-the availability at the hydrophobic-hydrophilic interface of positively charged amino acid residues with which iodide strongly interacts. We demonstrate the solution using I-SAD of four crystal structures representing different classes of membrane proteins, including a human G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), and we show that I-SAD can be applied using data collection strategies based on either standard or serial x-ray crystallography techniques.

Improving population scale statistical phasing with whole-genome sequencing data.

Project description:Haplotype estimation, or phasing, has gained significant traction in large-scale projects due to its valuable contributions to population genetics, variant analysis, and the creation of reference panels for imputation and phasing of new samples. To scale with the growing number of samples, haplotype estimation methods designed for population scale rely on highly optimized statistical models to phase genotype data, and usually ignore read-level information. Statistical methods excel in resolving common variants, however, they still struggle at rare variants due to the lack of statistical information. In this study we introduce SAPPHIRE, a new method that leverages whole-genome sequencing data to enhance the precision of haplotype calls produced by statistical phasing. SAPPHIRE achieves this by refining haplotype estimates through the realignment of sequencing reads, particularly targeting low-confidence phase calls. Our findings demonstrate that SAPPHIRE significantly enhances the accuracy of haplotypes obtained from state of the art methods and also provides the subset of phase calls that are validated by sequencing reads. Finally, we show that our method scales to large data sets by its successful application to the extensive 3.6 Petabytes of sequencing data of the last UK Biobank 200,031 sample release.

Dissolvable Polyacrylamide Beads for High-Throughput Droplet DNA Barcoding.

Project description:Droplet-based single cell sequencing technologies, such as inDrop, Drop-seq, and 10X Genomics, are catalyzing a revolution in the understanding of biology. Barcoding beads are key components for these technologies. What is limiting today are barcoding beads that are easy to fabricate, can efficiently deliver primers into drops, and thus achieve high detection efficiency. Here, this work reports an approach to fabricate dissolvable polyacrylamide beads, by crosslinking acrylamide with disulfide bridges that can be cleaved with dithiothreitol. The beads can be rapidly dissolved in drops and release DNA barcode primers. The dissolvable beads are easy to synthesize, and the primer cost for the beads is significantly lower than that for the previous barcoding beads. Furthermore, the dissolvable beads can be loaded into drops with >95% loading efficiency of a single bead per drop and the dissolution of beads does not influence reverse transcription or the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in drops. Based on this approach, the dissolvable beads are used for single cell RNA and protein analysis.

Barcoding bias in high-throughput multiplex sequencing of miRNA.

Project description:Second-generation sequencing is gradually becoming the method of choice for miRNA detection and expression profiling. Given the relatively small number of miRNAs and improvements in DNA sequencing technology, studying miRNA expression profiles of multiple samples in a single flow cell lane becomes feasible. Multiplexing strategies require marking each miRNA library with a DNA barcode. Here we report that barcodes introduced through adapter ligation confer significant bias on miRNA expression profiles. This bias is much higher than the expected Poisson noise and masks significant expression differences between miRNA libraries. This bias can be eliminated by adding barcodes during PCR amplification of libraries. The accuracy of miRNA expression measurement in multiplexed experiments becomes a function of sample number.

SAD phasing using iodide ions in a high-throughput structural genomics environment.

Project description:The Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease (SSGCID) focuses on the structure elucidation of potential drug targets from class A, B, and C infectious disease organisms. Many SSGCID targets are selected because they have homologs in other organisms that are validated drug targets with known structures. Thus, many SSGCID targets are expected to be solved by molecular replacement (MR), and reflective of this, all proteins are expressed in native form. However, many community request targets do not have homologs with known structures and not all internally selected targets readily solve by MR, necessitating experimental phase determination. We have adopted the use of iodide ion soaks and single wavelength anomalous dispersion (SAD) experiments as our primary method for de novo phasing. This method uses existing native crystals and in house data collection, resulting in rapid, low cost structure determination. Iodide ions are non-toxic and soluble at molar concentrations, facilitating binding at numerous hydrophobic or positively charged sites. We have used this technique across a wide range of crystallization conditions with successful structure determination in 16 of 17 cases within the first year of use (94% success rate). Here we present a general overview of this method as well as several examples including SAD phasing of proteins with novel folds and the combined use of SAD and MR for targets with weak MR solutions. These cases highlight the straightforward and powerful method of iodide ion SAD phasing in a high-throughput structural genomics environment.

Phasing of single DNA molecules by massively parallel barcoding.

Project description:High-throughput sequencing platforms mainly produce short-read data, resulting in a loss of phasing information for many of the genetic variants analysed. For certain applications, it is vital to know which variant alleles are connected to each individual DNA molecule. Here we demonstrate a method for massively parallel barcoding and phasing of single DNA molecules. First, a primer library with millions of uniquely barcoded beads is generated. When compartmentalized with single DNA molecules, the beads can be used to amplify and tag any target sequences of interest, enabling coupling of the biological information from multiple loci. We apply the assay to bacterial 16S sequencing and up to 94% of the hypothesized phasing events are shown to originate from single molecules. The method enables use of widely available short-read-sequencing platforms to study long single molecules within a complex sample, without losing phase information.
