Genome Sequences of Six SARS-CoV-2 Strains Isolated in Morocco, Obtained Using Oxford Nanopore MinION Technology.

ABSTRACT: Here, we report the draft genome sequences of six severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strains. SARS-CoV-2 is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, which started at the end of 2019 in Wuhan, China. The isolates were obtained from nasopharyngeal swabs from Moroccan patients with COVID-19. Mutation analysis revealed the presence of the spike D614G mutation in all six genomes, which is widely present in several genomes around the world.

Oxford Nanopore MinION Sequencing and Genome Assembly.

Project description:The revolution of genome sequencing is continuing after the successful second-generation sequencing (SGS) technology. The third-generation sequencing (TGS) technology, led by Pacific Biosciences (PacBio), is progressing rapidly, moving from a technology once only capable of providing data for small genome analysis, or for performing targeted screening, to one that promises high quality de novo assembly and structural variation detection for human-sized genomes. In 2014, the MinION, the first commercial sequencer using nanopore technology, was released by Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT). MinION identifies DNA bases by measuring the changes in electrical conductivity generated as DNA strands pass through a biological pore. Its portability, affordability, and speed in data production makes it suitable for real-time applications, the release of the long read sequencer MinION has thus generated much excitement and interest in the genomics community. While de novo genome assemblies can be cheaply produced from SGS data, assembly continuity is often relatively poor, due to the limited ability of short reads to handle long repeats. Assembly quality can be greatly improved by using TGS long reads, since repetitive regions can be easily expanded into using longer sequencing lengths, despite having higher error rates at the base level. The potential of nanopore sequencing has been demonstrated by various studies in genome surveillance at locations where rapid and reliable sequencing is needed, but where resources are limited.

Assessing the performance of the Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION.

Project description:The Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION is a new sequencing technology that potentially offers read lengths of tens of kilobases (kb) limited only by the length of DNA molecules presented to it. The device has a low capital cost, is by far the most portable DNA sequencer available, and can produce data in real-time. It has numerous prospective applications including improving genome sequence assemblies and resolution of repeat-rich regions. Before such a technology is widely adopted, it is important to assess its performance and limitations in respect of throughput and accuracy. In this study we assessed the performance of the MinION by re-sequencing three bacterial genomes, with very different nucleotide compositions ranging from 28.6% to 70.7%; the high G + C strain was underrepresented in the sequencing reads. We estimate the error rate of the MinION (after base calling) to be 38.2%. Mean and median read lengths were 2 kb and 1 kb respectively, while the longest single read was 98 kb. The whole length of a 5 kb rRNA operon was covered by a single read. As the first nanopore-based single molecule sequencer available to researchers, the MinION is an exciting prospect; however, the current error rate limits its ability to compete with existing sequencing technologies, though we do show that MinION sequence reads can enhance contiguity of de novo assembly when used in conjunction with Illumina MiSeq data.

Oxford Nanopore MinION Direct RNA-Seq for Systems Biology.

Project description:Long-read direct RNA sequencing developed by Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) is quickly gaining popularity for transcriptome studies, while fast turnaround time and low cost make it an attractive instrument for clinical applications. There is a growing interest to utilize transcriptome data to unravel activated biological processes responsible for disease progression and response to therapies. This trend is of particular interest for precision medicine which aims at single-patient analysis. Here we evaluated whether gene abundances measured by MinION direct RNA sequencing are suited to produce robust estimates of pathway activation for single sample scoring methods. We performed multiple RNA-seq analyses for a single sample that originated from the HepG2 cell line, namely five ONT replicates, and three replicates using Illumina NovaSeq. Two pathway scoring methods were employed-ssGSEA and singscore. We estimated the ONT performance in terms of detected protein-coding genes and average pairwise correlation between pathway activation scores using an exhaustive computational scheme for all combinations of replicates. In brief, we found that at least two ONT replicates are required to obtain reproducible pathway scores for both algorithms. We hope that our findings may be of interest to researchers planning their ONT direct RNA-seq experiments.
