A comprehensive long-read isoform analysis platform and sequencing resource for breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Tumors display widespread transcriptome alterations, but the full repertoire of isoform-level alternative splicing in cancer is unknown. We developed a long-read (LR) RNA sequencing and analytical platform that identifies and annotates full-length isoforms and infers tumor-specific splicing events. Application of this platform to breast cancer samples identifies thousands of previously unannotated isoforms; ~30% affect protein coding exons and are predicted to alter protein localization and function. We performed extensive cross-validation with -omics datasets to support transcription and translation of novel isoforms. We identified 3059 breast tumor-specific splicing events, including 35 that are significantly associated with patient survival. Of these, 21 are absent from GENCODE and 10 are enriched in specific breast cancer subtypes. Together, our results demonstrate the complexity, cancer subtype specificity, and clinical relevance of previously unidentified isoforms and splicing events in breast cancer that are only annotatable by LR-seq and provide a rich resource of immuno-oncology therapeutic targets.

Comprehensive annotation of the Chinese tree shrew genome by large-scale RNA sequencing and long-read isoform sequencing.

Project description:The Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) is emerging as an important experimental animal in multiple fields of biomedical research. Comprehensive reference genome annotation for both mRNA and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is crucial for developing animal models using this species. In the current study, we collected a total of 234 high-quality RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) datasets and two long-read isoform sequencing (ISO-seq) datasets and improved the annotation of our previously assembled high-quality chromosome-level tree shrew genome. We obtained a total of 3 514 newly annotated coding genes and 50 576 lncRNA genes. We also characterized the tissue-specific expression patterns and alternative splicing patterns of mRNAs and lncRNAs and mapped the orthologous relationships among 11 mammalian species using the current annotated genome. We identified 144 tree shrew-specific gene families, including interleukin 6 (IL6) and STT3 oligosaccharyltransferase complex catalytic subunit B (STT3B), which underwent significant changes in size. Comparison of the overall expression patterns in tissues and pathways across four species (human, rhesus monkey, tree shrew, and mouse) indicated that tree shrews are more similar to primates than to mice at the tissue-transcriptome level. Notably, the newly annotated purine rich element binding protein A (PURA) gene and the STT3B gene family showed dysregulation upon viral infection. The updated version of the tree shrew genome annotation (KIZ version 3: TS_3.0) is available at http://www.treeshrewdb.org and provides an essential reference for basic and biomedical studies using tree shrew animal models.

LIQA: long-read isoform quantification and analysis.

Project description:Long-read RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technologies can sequence full-length transcripts, facilitating the exploration of isoform-specific gene expression over short-read RNA-seq. We present LIQA to quantify isoform expression and detect differential alternative splicing (DAS) events using long-read direct mRNA sequencing or cDNA sequencing data. LIQA incorporates base pair quality score and isoform-specific read length information in a survival model to assign different weights across reads, and uses an expectation-maximization algorithm for parameter estimation. We apply LIQA to long-read RNA-seq data from the Universal Human Reference, acute myeloid leukemia, and esophageal squamous epithelial cells and demonstrate its high accuracy in profiling alternative splicing events.

Leveraging long read sequencing from a single individual to provide a comprehensive resource for benchmarking variant calling methods.

Project description:A high-confidence, comprehensive human variant set is critical in assessing accuracy of sequencing algorithms, which are crucial in precision medicine based on high-throughput sequencing. Although recent works have attempted to provide such a resource, they still do not encompass all major types of variants including structural variants (SVs). Thus, we leveraged the massive high-quality Sanger sequences from the HuRef genome to construct by far the most comprehensive gold set of a single individual, which was cross validated with deep Illumina sequencing, population datasets, and well-established algorithms. It was a necessary effort to completely reanalyze the HuRef genome as its previously published variants were mostly reported five years ago, suffering from compatibility, organization, and accuracy issues that prevent their direct use in benchmarking. Our extensive analysis and validation resulted in a gold set with high specificity and sensitivity. In contrast to the current gold sets of the NA12878 or HS1011 genomes, our gold set is the first that includes small variants, deletion SVs and insertion SVs up to a hundred thousand base-pairs. We demonstrate the utility of our HuRef gold set to benchmark several published SV detection tools.

Cancer CRC: A Comprehensive Cancer Core Transcriptional Regulatory Circuit Resource and Analysis Platform.

Project description:A core transcriptional regulatory circuit (CRC) is a group of interconnected auto-regulating transcription factors (TFs) that form loops and can be identified by super-enhancers (SEs). Studies have indicated that CRCs play an important role in defining cellular identity and determining cellular fate. Additionally, core TFs in CRCs are regulators of cell-type-specific transcriptional regulation. However, a global view of CRC properties across various cancer types has not been generated. Thus, we integrated paired cancer ATAC-seq and H3K27ac ChIP-seq data for specific cell lines to develop the Cancer CRC (http://bio.liclab.net/Cancer_crc/index.html). This platform documented 94,108 cancer CRCs, including 325 core TFs. The cancer CRC also provided the "SE active core TFs analysis" and "TF enrichment analysis" tools to identify potentially key TFs in cancer. In addition, we performed a comprehensive analysis of core TFs in various cancer types to reveal conserved and cancer-specific TFs.

Long read, isoform aware sequencing of mouse nucleus accumbens after chronic cocaine treatment.

Project description:To better understand the full-length transcriptome of the nucleus accumbens (NAc)-a key brain reward region-in chronic cocaine treatment, we perform the first single molecule, long-read sequencing analysis using the Iso-seq method to detect 42,114 unique transcripts from mouse NAc polyadenylated RNA. Using GENCODE annotation as a reference, we find that over half of the Iso-seq derived transcripts are annotated, while 46% of them harbor novel splicing events in known genes; around 1% of them correspond to other types of novel transcripts, such as fusion, antisense and intergenic. Approximately 34% of the novel transcripts are matched with a compiled transcriptome assembled from published short-read data from various tissues, with the remaining 69% being unique to NAc. These data provide a more complete picture of the NAc transcriptome than existing annotations and can serve as a comprehensive reference for future transcriptomic analyses of this important brain reward region.

Comprehensive transcriptome analysis using synthetic long-read sequencing reveals molecular co-association of distant splicing events.

Project description:Alternative splicing shapes mammalian transcriptomes, with many RNA molecules undergoing multiple distant alternative splicing events. Comprehensive transcriptome analysis, including analysis of exon co-association in the same molecule, requires deep, long-read sequencing. Here we introduce an RNA sequencing method, synthetic long-read RNA sequencing (SLR-RNA-seq), in which small pools (?1,000 molecules/pool, ?1 molecule/gene for most genes) of full-length cDNAs are amplified, fragmented and short-read-sequenced. We demonstrate that these RNA sequences reconstructed from the short reads from each of the pools are mostly close to full length and contain few insertion and deletion errors. We report many previously undescribed isoforms (human brain: ?13,800 affected genes, 14.5% of molecules; mouse brain ?8,600 genes, 18% of molecules) and up to 165 human distant molecularly associated exon pairs (dMAPs) and distant molecularly and mutually exclusive pairs (dMEPs). Of 16 associated pairs detected in the mouse brain, 9 are conserved in human. Our results indicate conserved mechanisms that can produce distant but phased features on transcript and proteome isoforms.

Comprehensive short and long read sequencing analysis for the Gaucher and Parkinson's disease-associated GBA gene.

Project description:GBA variants carriers are at increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Lewy body dementia (LBD). The presence of pseudogene GBAP1 predisposes to structural variants, complicating genetic analysis. We present two methods to resolve recombinant alleles and other variants in GBA: Gauchian, a tool for short-read, whole-genome sequencing data analysis, and Oxford Nanopore sequencing after PCR enrichment. Both methods were concordant for 42 samples carrying a range of recombinants and GBAP1-related mutations, and Gauchian outperformed the GATK Best Practices pipeline. Applying Gauchian to sequencing of over 10,000 individuals shows that copy number variants (CNVs) spanning GBAP1 are relatively common in Africans. CNV frequencies in PD and LBD are similar to controls. Gains may coexist with other mutations in patients, and a modifying effect cannot be excluded. Gauchian detects more GBA variants in LBD than PD, especially severe ones. These findings highlight the importance of accurate GBA analysis in these patients.

Comprehensive characterization of transcript isoform in mouse retina with ONT long read single-cell RNA sequencing

Project description:The retina, a complex neural tissue, encompasses a vast diversity of over 100 distinct cell types, each characterized by unique features such as morphology, function, location, and transcriptomic profiles. However, the extent of mRNA alternative splicing within individual cell types in the retina remains largely uncharted territory. To bridge this knowledge gap, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing, utilizing both short-read and long-read high-throughput technologies. Our comprehensive analysis profiled the transcriptomes of 29,191 mouse retina cells, resulting in a dataset comprising 1.54 billion Illumina short reads and 1.40 billion Oxford Nanopore long reads. Remarkably, this exploration unveiled a staggering 44,325 transcript isoforms, with 38% of them representing entirely novel discoveries and 17% exhibiting cell-class-specific expression patterns. Intriguingly, while many isoforms were expressed across various cell types, their distribution often displayed variability among them. This research substantially enriches the catalog of transcript isoforms, laying the groundwork for further investigations into the role of alternative splicing in retinal biology and its implications for related diseases. It represents a crucial step toward unraveling the intricacies of retinal function and offers promising insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying retinal disorders.
