Syotti: scalable bait design for DNA enrichment.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Bait enrichment is a protocol that is becoming increasingly ubiquitous as it has been shown to successfully amplify regions of interest in metagenomic samples. In this method, a set of synthetic probes ('baits') are designed, manufactured and applied to fragmented metagenomic DNA. The probes bind to the fragmented DNA and any unbound DNA is rinsed away, leaving the bound fragments to be amplified for sequencing. Metsky et al. demonstrated that bait-enrichment is capable of detecting a large number of human viral pathogens within metagenomic samples.

Results

We formalize the problem of designing baits by defining the Minimum Bait Cover problem, show that the problem is NP-hard even under very restrictive assumptions, and design an efficient heuristic that takes advantage of succinct data structures. We refer to our method as Syotti. The running time of Syotti shows linear scaling in practice, running at least an order of magnitude faster than state-of-the-art methods, including the method of Metsky et al. At the same time, our method produces bait sets that are smaller than the ones produced by the competing methods, while also leaving fewer positions uncovered. Lastly, we show that Syotti requires only 25 min to design baits for a dataset comprised of 3 billion nucleotides from 1000 related bacterial substrains, whereas the method of Metsky et al. shows clearly super-linear running time and fails to process even a subset of 17% of the data in 72 h.

Targeting legume loci: A comparison of three methods for target enrichment bait design in Leguminosae phylogenomics.

Project description:Premise of the Study:The development of pipelines for locus discovery has spurred the use of target enrichment for plant phylogenomics. However, few studies have compared pipelines from locus discovery and bait design, through validation, to tree inference. We compared three methods within Leguminosae (Fabaceae) and present a workflow for future efforts. Methods:Using 30 transcriptomes, we compared Hyb-Seq, MarkerMiner, and the Yang and Smith (Y&S) pipelines for locus discovery, validated 7501 baits targeting 507 loci across 25 genera via Illumina sequencing, and inferred gene and species trees via concatenation- and coalescent-based methods. Results:Hyb-Seq discovered loci with the longest mean length. MarkerMiner discovered the most conserved loci with the least flagged as paralogous. Y&S offered the most parsimony-informative sites and putative orthologs. Target recovery averaged 93% across taxa. We optimized our targeted locus set based on a workflow designed to minimize paralog/ortholog conflation and thus present 423 loci for legume phylogenomics. Conclusions:Methods differed across criteria important for phylogenetic marker development. We recommend Hyb-Seq as a method that may be useful for most phylogenomic projects. Our targeted locus set is a resource for future, community-driven efforts to reconstruct the legume tree of life.

Scalable design of orthogonal DNA barcode libraries.

Project description:Orthogonal DNA barcode library design is an essential task in bioengineering. Here we present seqwalk, an efficient method for designing barcode libraries that satisfy a sequence symmetry minimization (SSM) heuristic for orthogonality, with theoretical guarantees of maximal or near-maximal library size under certain design constraints. Seqwalk encodes SSM constraints in a de Bruijn graph representation of sequence space, enabling the application of recent advances in discrete mathematics1 to the problem of orthogonal sequence design. We demonstrate the scalability of seqwalk by designing a library of >106 SSM-satisfying barcode sequences in less than 20 s on a standard laptop.

The best of both worlds: Combining lineage-specific and universal bait sets in target-enrichment hybridization reactions.

Project description:Researchers adopting target-enrichment approaches often struggle with the decision of whether to use universal or lineage-specific probe sets. To circumvent this quandary, we investigate the efficacy of a simultaneous enrichment by combining universal probes and lineage-specific probes in a single hybridization reaction, to benefit from the qualities of both probe sets with little added cost or effort. Using 26 Brassicaceae libraries and standard enrichment protocols, we compare results from three independent data sets. A large average fraction of reads mapping to the Angiosperms353 (24-31%) and Brassicaceae (35-59%) targets resulted in a sizable reconstruction of loci for each target set (x̄ ≥ 70%). High levels of enrichment and locus reconstruction for the two target sets demonstrate that the sampling of genomic regions can be easily extended through the combination of probe sets in single enrichment reactions. We hope that these findings will facilitate the production of expanded data sets that answer individual research questions and simultaneously allow wider applications by the research community as a whole.

A well-controlled BioID design for endogenous bait proteins

Project description:The CRISPR/Cas9 revolution is profoundly changing the way life sciences technologies are used. Many assays now rely on engineered clonal cell lines to eliminate overexpression issues. Control cell lines are typically provided by non-engineered cells or by engineered clones implying a considerable risk for artefacts because of clonal variation. Genome engineering can also be expected to transform BioID , an elegant proximity labeling method that relies on fusing a bait protein to a promiscuous biotin ligase, BirA*, which results in the tagging of vicinal proteins. We here propose an innovative design to enable BioID for endogenous proteins. To enable this design wherein, we introduced a T2A-BirA* module at the C-terminus of endogenous p53 by genome engineering. This leads to bi-cistronic expression of both p53 and BirA* under control of the endogenous promoter ensuring low background biotinylation in these control cells. By targeting a Cas9-cytidine deaminase base editor to the T2A auto-cleavage site, we can efficiently derive an isogenic population expressing a functional p53-BirA* fusion protein. By A quantitative proteomics workflow we show significant benefits over other experimental settings including forced expression of p53-BirA* and parental control cell lines, and we provide a enabled a ffirst well-controlled view on the proximal proteins of endogenous p53. This novel application for base editors expands the CRISPR/Cas9 toolbox and may prove to be a valuable addition for synthetic biology.

FISHing Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex by Use of a rpoB DNA Probe Bait.

Project description:Routine staining of sputum specimens does not identify acid-fast bacilli as Mycobacterium tuberculosis with utmost precision, limiting its usability as a confirmatory test for pulmonary tuberculosis. We have combined Ziehl-Neelsen staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect M. tuberculosis in sputum specimens. We have developed a new fluorescent oligonucleotide rpoBMTC probe (5'-Alexa-555-AGCGGGGTGATGTCAACCCAG-3') targeting the M. tuberculosis complex rpoB gene. In silico alignment yielded 100% match for M. tuberculosis complex mycobacteria, 66.6% to 47.6% for other bacteria, and no significant hits for viruses and eukaryotes. Negative binding of rpoBMTC probe to the top six respiratory tract bacterial pathogens and to Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium avium experimentally confirmed its specificity. As for sensitivity, rpoBMTC-FISH detected 103 CFU/ml M. tuberculosis as confirmed by successful detection of M. tuberculosis in artificially seeded sputum samples. The application of rpoBMTC-FISH to 116 routine sputum specimens yielded a detection of M. tuberculosis in all of the 31 Ziehl-Neelsen-positive and culture-positive specimens, and no detection of M. tuberculosis in the 85 M. tuberculosis-negative specimens. These data established the proof of concept that rpoBMTC-FISH alone or combined with Ziehl-Neelsen staining can specifically "FISH out" M. tuberculosis complex mycobacteria in sputum samples collected from patients suspected of pulmonary mycobacteriosis. We are implementing this probe for the routine and specific detection of M. tuberculosis complex bacteria in sputum exhibiting acid-fast mycobacteria.

Scalable Enrichment of Immunomodulatory Human Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cell Line-Derived Extracellular Vesicles.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells can secrete trophic factors, including extracellular vesicles (EVs), instructing the stromal leukemic niche. Here, we introduce a scalable workflow for purification of immunomodulatory AML-EVs to compare their phenotype and function to the parental AML cells and their secreted soluble factors. AML cell lines HL-60, KG-1, OCI-AML3, and MOLM-14 released EVs with a peak diameter of approximately 80 nm in serum-free particle-reduced medium. We enriched EVs >100x using tangential flow filtration (TFF) and separated AML-derived soluble factors and cells in parallel. EVs were characterized by electron microscopy, immunoblotting, and flow cytometry, confirming the double-membrane morphology, purity and identity. AML-EVs showed significant enrichment of immune response and leukemia-related pathways in tandem mass-tag proteomics and a significant dose-dependent inhibition of T cell proliferation, which was not observed with AML cells or their soluble factors. Furthermore, AML-EVs dose-dependently reduced NK cell lysis of third-party K-562 leukemia targets. This emphasizes the peculiar role of AML-EVs in leukemia immune escape and indicates novel EV-based targets for therapeutic interventions.

Disposable Miniature Check Valve Design Suitable for Scalable Manufacturing.

Project description:We present a passive, miniature check valve which can be manufactured using standard techniques ideal for low-cost, disposable systems used in medical devices and other applications. The body of the valve consists of a hollow cylindrical core, closed at one end, with a side port and a cylindrical elastomeric sleeve placed over the core body, covering the side port. The pressure required for initial opening of the valve, referred to as cracking pressure, can be adjusted, and depends predominantly on the valve core outer diameter, the sleeve inner diameter, the sleeve wall thickness, and the sleeve material's modulus of elasticity. These parameters can be controlled to tight tolerances, while the tolerances on other features can be relaxed, which simplifies valve manufacturing and assembly. Valve embodiments produced from different materials, and with varying critical dimensions, exhibited distinct and reproducible cracking pressures in the range of 2 to 20 PSI. The cracking pressure did not vary significantly as a function of flow rate. No back flow leakage was encountered up to 30 PSI, the pressure limit of the sensor used in this experiment. Most of the valves tested had small internal volumes of 3-4 ?L. The internal volume can be further reduced by selecting a core of smaller inner diameter. In contrast to lithography-based microvalves that generally must be manufactured in-situ within the fluidic device, the herein presented valve can be manufactured independently of, and can be readily integrated into fluidic systems manufactured via a wide selection of fabrication methods.
