Sequencing of E. coli strain UTI89 on multiple sequencing platforms.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:The availability of matched sequencing data for the same sample across different sequencing platforms is a necessity for validation and effective comparison of sequencing platforms. A commonly sequenced sample is the lab-adapted MG1655 strain of Escherichia coli; however, this strain is not fully representative of more complex and dynamic genomes of pathogenic E. coli strains. DATA DESCRIPTION:We present six new sequencing data sets for another E. coli strain, UTI89, which is an extraintestinal pathogenic strain isolated from a patient suffering from a urinary tract infection. We now provide matched whole genome sequencing data generated using the PacBio RSII, Oxford Nanopore MinION R9.4, Ion Torrent, ABI SOLiD, and Illumina NextSeq sequencers. Together with other publically available datasets, UTI89 has a nearly complete suite of data generated on most second- and third-generation sequencers. These data can be used as an additional validation set for new sequencing technologies and analytical methods. More than being another E. coli strain, however, UTI89 is pathogenic, with a 10% larger genome, additional pathogenicity islands, and a large plasmid, features that are common among other naturally occurring and disease-causing E. coli isolates. These data therefore provide a more medically relevant test set for development of algorithms.

Project description:BackgroundThe Escherichia coli ER2566 strain (NC_CP014268.2) was developed as a BL21 (DE3) derivative strain and had been widely used in recombinant protein expression. However, like many other current RefSeq annotations, the annotation of the ER2566 strain was incomplete, with missing gene names and miscellaneous RNAs, as well as uncorrected annotations of some pseudogenes. Here, we performed a systematic reannotation of the ER2566 genome by combining multiple annotation tools with manual revision to provide a comprehensive understanding of the E. coli ER2566 strain, and used high-throughput sequencing to explore how the strain adapted under external pressure.ResultsThe reannotation included noteworthy corrections to all protein-coding genes, led to the exclusion of 190 hypothetical genes or pseudogenes, and resulted in the addition of 237 coding sequences and 230 miscellaneous noncoding RNAs and 2 tRNAs. In addition, we further manually examined all 194 pseudogenes in the Ref-seq annotation and directly identified 123 (63%) as coding genes. We then used whole-genome sequencing and high-throughput RNA sequencing to assess mutational adaptations under consecutive subculture or overexpression burden. Whereas no mutations were detected in response to consecutive subculture, overexpression of the human papillomavirus 16 type capsid led to the identification of a mutation (position 1,094,824 within the 3' non-coding region) positioned 19-bp away from the lacI gene in the transcribed RNA, which was not detected at the genomic level by Sanger sequencing.ConclusionThe ER2566 strain was used by both the general scientific community and the biotechnology industry. Reannotation of the E. coli ER2566 strain not only improved the RefSeq data but uncovered a key site that might be involved in the transcription and translation of genes encoding the lactose operon repressor. We proposed that our pipeline might offer a universal method for the reannotation of other bacterial genomes with high speed and accuracy. This study might facilitate a better understanding of gene function for the ER2566 strain under external burden and provided more clues to engineer bacteria for biotechnological applications.
