Specific splice junction detection in single cells with SICILIAN.

ABSTRACT: Precise splice junction calls are currently unavailable in scRNA-seq pipelines such as the 10x Chromium platform but are critical for understanding single-cell biology. Here, we introduce SICILIAN, a new method that assigns statistical confidence to splice junctions from a spliced aligner to improve precision. SICILIAN is a general method that can be applied to bulk or single-cell data, but has particular utility for single-cell analysis due to that data's unique challenges and opportunities for discovery. SICILIAN's precise splice detection achieves high accuracy on simulated data, improves concordance between matched single-cell and bulk datasets, and increases agreement between biological replicates. SICILIAN detects unannotated splicing in single cells, enabling the discovery of novel splicing regulation through single-cell analysis workflows.

TrueSight: a new algorithm for splice junction detection using RNA-seq.

Project description:RNA-seq has proven to be a powerful technique for transcriptome profiling based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. However, due to the short length of NGS reads, it is challenging to accurately map RNA-seq reads to splice junctions (SJs), which is a critically important step in the analysis of alternative splicing (AS) and isoform construction. In this article, we describe a new method, called TrueSight, which for the first time combines RNA-seq read mapping quality and coding potential of genomic sequences into a unified model. The model is further utilized in a machine-learning approach to precisely identify SJs. Both simulations and real data evaluations showed that TrueSight achieved higher sensitivity and specificity than other methods. We applied TrueSight to new high coverage honey bee RNA-seq data to discover novel splice forms. We found that 60.3% of honey bee multi-exon genes are alternatively spliced. By utilizing gene models improved by TrueSight, we characterized AS types in honey bee transcriptome. We believe that TrueSight will be highly useful to comprehensively study the biology of alternative splicing.

LATENT RANK CHANGE DETECTION FOR ANALYSIS OF SPLICE-JUNCTION MICROARRAYS WITH NONLINEAR EFFECTS.

Project description:Alternative splicing of gene transcripts greatly expands the functional capacity of the genome, and certain splice isoforms may indicate specific disease states such as cancer. Splice junction microarrays interrogate thousands of splice junctions, but data analysis is difficult and error prone because of the increased complexity compared to differential gene expression analysis. We present Rank Change Detection (RCD) as a method to identify differential splicing events based upon a straightforward probabilistic model comparing the over- or underrepresentation of two or more competing isoforms. RCD has advantages over commonly used methods because it is robust to false positive errors due to nonlinear trends in microarray measurements. Further, RCD does not depend on prior knowledge of splice isoforms, yet it takes advantage of the inherent structure of mutually exclusive junctions, and it is conceptually generalizable to other types of splicing arrays or RNA-Seq. RCD specifically identifies the biologically important cases when a splice junction becomes more or less prevalent compared to other mutually exclusive junctions. The example data is from different cell lines of glioblastoma tumors assayed with Agilent microarrays.

The impact of read length on quantification of differentially expressed genes and splice junction detection.

Project description:BackgroundThe initial next-generation sequencing technologies produced reads of 25 or 36 bp, and only from a single-end of the library sequence. Currently, it is possible to reliably produce 300 bp paired-end sequences for RNA expression analysis. While read lengths have consistently increased, people have assumed that longer reads are more informative and that paired-end reads produce better results than single-end reads. We used paired-end 101 bp reads and trimmed them to simulate different read lengths, and also separated the pairs to produce single-end reads. For each read length and paired status, we evaluated differential expression levels between two standard samples and compared the results to those obtained by qPCR.ResultsWe found that, with the exception of 25 bp reads, there is little difference for the detection of differential expression regardless of the read length. Once single-end reads are at a length of 50 bp, the results do not change substantially for any level up to, and including, 100 bp paired-end. However, splice junction detection significantly improves as the read length increases with 100 bp paired-end showing the best performance. We performed the same analysis on two ENCODE samples and found consistent results confirming that our conclusions have broad application.ConclusionsA researcher could save substantial resources by using 50 bp single-end reads for differential expression analysis instead of using longer reads. However, splicing detection is unquestionably improved by paired-end and longer reads. Therefore, an appropriate read length should be used based on the final goal of the study.

Derivation of splice junction-specific antibodies using a unique hapten targeting strategy and directed evolution.

Project description:Alternative splicing of RNA occurs frequently in eukaryotic cells and can result in multiple protein isoforms that are nearly identical in amino acid sequence, but have unique biological roles. Moreover, the relative abundance of these unique isoforms can be correlative with diseased states and potentially used as biomarkers or therapeutic targets. However, due to high sequence similarities among isoforms, current proteomic methods are incapable of differentiating native protein isoforms derived from most alternative splicing events. Herein, a strategy employing a nonsynonymous, non-native amino acid (nnAA) pseudo-hapten (i.e. an amino acid or amino acid derivative that is different from the native amino acid at a particular position) as a targeting epitope in splice junction-spanning peptides was successful in directed antibody derivation. After isolating nnAA-specific antibodies, directed evolution reduced the antibody's binding dependence on the nnAA pseudo-hapten and improved binding to the native splice junction epitope. The resulting antibodies demonstrated codependent binding affinity to each exon of the splice junction and thus are splice junction- and isoform-specific. Furthermore, epitope scanning demonstrated that positioning of the nnAA pseudo-hapten within a peptide antigen can be exploited to predetermine the isolated antibody's specificity at, or near, amino acid resolution. Thus, this nnAA targeting strategy has the potential to robustly derive splice junction- and site-specific antibodies that can be used in a wide variety of research endeavors to unambiguously differentiate native protein isoforms.

Splice junction map of simian parvovirus transcripts.

Project description:The transcription map of simian parvovirus (SPV), an Erythrovirus similar to Parvovirus B19, was investigated. RNA was extracted from tissues of experimentally infected cynomolgus macaques and subjected to reverse transcription-PCR with SPV-specific primers. The PCR products were cloned and sequenced to identify splice junctions. A total of 14 distinct sequences were identified as putative partial transcripts. Of these, 13 were spliced; a single unspliced transcript putatively encoded NS1. Sequence analysis revealed that spliced partial transcripts may encode portions of open reading frames for the major capsid proteins VP1 and VP2 and smaller, unknown proteins. These unspliced and spliced transcripts and putative proteins encoded by SPV were similar to those of B19. Initial splice junctions at nucleotides 279 and 333 were analogous to those at nucleotides 406 and 441, respectively, in B19. Seven of the 10 splices identified had typical GT/AG donor/acceptor junctions. The splice sites were confirmed by Northern blotting and autoradiography. In contrast to B19, which has a maximum of two splices per transcript, up to three splices were observed in SPV transcripts. A spliced transcript putatively encoding a truncated version of NS1, as seen with minute virus of mice and adeno-associated virus 2, was also observed. The findings indicate that that the splicing pattern of transcripts of SPV and B19 is similar, but SPV also has coding strategies in common with other parvoviruses.

Comparison of RNA-seq and Microarray Platforms for Splice Event Detection using a Cross-Platform Algorithm [Junction Arrays]

Project description:In this study, we compare the performance of RNA-seq (Illumina HiSeq) and junction arrays (Affymetrix Human Transcriptome array) for the analysis of splicing events. Three different cell lines were treated with CX-4945, a drug that severely affects splicing. To make a fair comparison, we developed EventPointer, an algorithm that detects and labels alternative splicing events in both junction arrays and RNA-seq. Common results and discrepancies between both technologies were validated or resolved by more than 200 PCRs.
