Systematic comparison of RNA-seq pipelines for absolute and relative gene expression quantification

ABSTRACT: At present, it is admitted that RNA-seq is a more powerful and adaptable technique than hybridization arrays. Nevertheless, as RNA-seq needs a more complex data analysis, it has generated a lot of research on algorithms and workflows. This has resulted in an exponential increase of the options at each step of the analysis. Consequently, there is no clear consensus on the appropriate algorithms and pipelines that should be used to analyse RNA-seq data. In the present study, 192 pipelines on 18 samples from 2 human cell lines were evaluated. Absolute gene expression quantification was assessed by non-parametric statistics to measure precision and accuracy. Relative gene expression performance was estimated testing 19 differential expression methods. These results were contrasted in parallel with the microarray HTA 2.0 data from Affymetrix using the same set of samples. All procedures were validated by qRT-PCR on 32 genes in all samples. In addition, this study proposes a new statistical approach for precision and accuracy evaluation on real RNA-seq data. It also weights up the advantages and disadvantages of the algorithms and pipelines tested and gives a guide to select the appropriate pipeline to analyse RNA-seq and microarray data.

Comparative Analysis of RNA-Seq Alignment Algorithms and the RNA-Seq Unified Mapper (RUM).

Project description:A critical task in high throughput sequencing is aligning millions of short reads to a reference genome. Alignment is especially complicated for RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) because of RNA splicing. A number of RNA-Seq algorithms are available, and claim to align reads with high accuracy and efficiency while detecting splice junctions. RNA-Seq data is discrete in nature; therefore with reasonable gene models and comparative metrics RNA-Seq data can be simulated to sufficient accuracy to enable meaningful benchmarking of alignment algorithms. The exercise to rigorously compare all viable published RNA-Seq algorithms has not previously been performed. RESULTS: We developed an RNA-Seq simulator that models the main impediments to RNA alignment, including alternative splicing, insertions, deletions, substitutions, sequencing errors, and intron signal. We used this simulator to measure the accuracy and robustness of available algorithms at the base and junction levels. Additionally, we used RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing to validate the ability of the algorithms to detect novel transcript features such as novel exons and alternative splicing in RNA-Seq data from mouse retina. A pipeline based on BLAT was developed to explore the performance of established tools for this problem, and to compare it to the recently developed methods. This pipeline, the RNA-Seq Unified Mapper (RUM) performs comparably to the best current aligners and provides an advantageous combination of accuracy, speed and usability. RNA-Seq of mouse retinal RNA, as described.

MAQC-III/SEQC Main Study ABCD titration experiment, ERCC spike-in profiles and gene-level estimates for a selected test set

Project description:Comparison to RNA-Seq showed different strengths and weaknesses for different regimes of expression strength. At sufficient read-depth, both platforms seemed comparable for gene-level expression profiling. Comparison to RNA-Seq showed comparable accuracy and precision with microarrays for ERCC spike-ins at medium to high expression levels. At low expression levels, the array showed signal attenuation but better precision, while RNA-Seq maintained accuracy albeit with highly inflated variance. In summary, both platforms can be meaningfully applied in a similar range of expression strength. Assessment of (precision, accuracy, reproducibility, mutual information, titration order consistency, and known mixing ratio recovery) by measurement of known-ratio mixtures of two RNA reference samples. The array probes 776 complex genes representative of the AceView gene model annotation, as well as 92 ERCC spike-in controls.

Methylation profiling of plasma cell-free DNA in pediatric brain tumor patients

Project description:Using cell-free methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing (cfMeDIP-seq), we analyzed methylation profiles in 93 plasma samples from 77 pediatric brain tumor patients and 16 non-neoplastic patients. Binomial GLMnet classifiers of tumor and tumor subtypes were built in training sets, and performance was evaluated in test sets. The methylation profiles from plasma cfMeDIP-seq discriminated tumor from non-tumor patients with 0.83 accuracy (precision = 0.93, sensitivity = 0.86, and specificity = 0.67). Among major tumor subtypes vs. nontumors, circumscribed astrocytic glioma showed an accuracy of 0.86 (precision = 0.88, sensitivity = 0.88, and specificity = 0.83), and glioneuronal tumors had an accuracy of 0.83 (precision, sensitivity, and specificity = 0.83). Circumscribed astrocytic glioma and glioneuronal tumors could be discriminated from other tumor subtypes with 0.79 and 0.82 accuracy, respectively.

LaSSO, a strategy for genome-wide mapping of intronic lariats and branch-points using RNA-seq

Project description:Both canonical and alternative splicing of RNAs is governed by intronic sequence elements and produces transient lariat structures fastened by branch-points within introns. To map precisely the location of branch-points on a genomic scale, we developed LaSSO (Lariat Sequence Site Origin), a data-driven algorithm which utilizes RNA-seq data. Using fission yeast cells lacking the debranching enzyme Dbr1, LaSSO not only accurately identified canonical splicing events, but also pinpointed novel, but rare, exon-skipping events, which may reflect aberrantly spliced transcripts. Compromised intron turnover perturbed gene regulation at multiple levels, including splicing and protein translation. Notably, Dbr1 function was also critical for the expression of mitochondrial genes, and for the processing of self-spliced mitochondrial introns. LaSSO showed better sensitivity and accuracy than algorithms used for computational branch-point prediction or for empirical branch-point determination. Even when applied to a human data set acquired in the presence of debranching activity, LaSSO identified both canonical and exon skipping branch-points. LaSSO thus provides an effective, accurate and unbiased approach for defining high-resolution maps of branch-site sequences and intronic elements on a genomic scale. LaSSO should be useful to validate introns and uncover branch-point sequences in any eukaryote, and it could be integrated to RNA-seq pipelines.

CRSP: Comparative RNA-seq pipeline for species lacking both of sequenced genomes and reference transcripts

Project description:RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has been a widely used high-throughput method to characterize transcriptomic dynamics spatiotemporally. However, typical RNA-seq data analysis pipelines depend on either a sequenced genome or reference transcripts. This constriction makes the use of RNA-seq for species lacking both of sequenced genomes and reference transcripts challenging. To solve this problem, we developed CRSP, an RNA-seq pipeline integrating multiple comparative species strategy but not depending on a specific sequenced genome or reference transcripts. Benchmarking suggests the CRSP tool can achieve high accuracy to quantify gene expression levels.

Partitioning RNAs by length improves transcriptome reconstruction from short-read RNA-seq data

Project description:The accuracy of methods for assembling transcripts from short-read RNA sequencing data is limited by the lack of long-range information. Here we introduce Ladder-seq, an approach that separates transcripts according to their lengths prior to sequencing and uses the additional information to improve the quantification and assembly of transcripts. Using simulated data, we demonstrate that a kallisto algorithm extended to process Ladder-seq data quantifies transcripts of complex genes with substantially higher accuracy than conventional kallisto. For reference-based assembly, a modified StringTie2 algorithm reconstructs a single transcript with 30.8% higher precision than its conventional counterpart and is >30% more sensitive for complex genes. For de novo assembly, a modified Trinity algorithm correctly assembles 78% more transcripts than conventional Trinity, while improving precision by 78%. In experimental data, Ladder-seq reveals 40% more genes harboring isoform switches compared with conventional RNA-seq and unveils widespread changes in isoform usage upon m6A depletion by Mettl14 knock-out.

Benchmarking differential expression, imputation and quantification methods for proteomics data

Project description:Data analysis is a critical part of quantitative proteomics studies in interpreting biological questions. Numerous computational tools including protein quantification, imputation, and differential expression (DE) analysis were generated in the past decade. However, searching optimized tools is still an unsolved issue. Moreover, due to the rapid development of RNA-Seq technology, a vast number of DE analysis methods are created. Applying these newly developed RNA-Seq-oriented tools to proteomics data is still a question that needs to be addressed. In order to benchmark these analysis methods, a proteomics dataset constituted the proteins derived from human, yeast, and drosophila with different ratios were generated. Based on this dataset, DE analysis tools (including array-based and RNA-Seq based), imputation algorithms, and protein quantification methods were compared and benchmarked. This study provided useful information on analyzing quantitative proteomics datasets. All the methods used in this study were integrated into Perseus which are available at https://www.maxquant.org/perseus.
