Junction Usage Model (JUM) is a computational method for comprehensive annotation-free analysis of alternative pre-mRNA splicing patterns

ABSTRACT: Alternative pre-mRNA splicing (AS) greatly diversifies metazoan transcriptomes and proteomes and is crucial for gene regulation. Current computational analysis methods of AS from Illumina RNA-seq data rely on pre-annotated libraries of known spliced transcripts, which hinders AS analysis with poorly annotated genomes and can further mask unknown AS patterns. To address this critical bioinformatics problem, we developed a method called the Junction Usage Model (JUM) that uses a bottom-up approach to identify, analyze and quantitate global AS profiles without any prior transcriptome annotations. JUM accurately reports global AS changes in terms of the five conventional AS patterns and an additional "Composite" category composed of inseparable combinations of conventional patterns. JUM stringently classifies the difficult and disease-relevant pattern of intron retention, reducing the false positive rate of IR detection commonly seen in other annotation-based methods to near negligible rates. When analyzing AS in RNA-samples derived from Drosophila heads, human tumors and human cell lines bearing cancer-associated splicing factor mutations, JUM consistently identified ~ twice the number of novel AS events missed by other methods. Computational simulations showed JUM exhibits a 1.2-4.8 times higher true positive rate at a fixed cut-off of 5% false discovery rate. In summary, JUM provides a new framework and improved method that removes the necessity for transcriptome annotations and enables the detection, analysis and quantification of AS patterns in complex metazoan transcriptomes with superior accuracy.

Identity by descent mapping of founder mutations in cancer using high-resolution tumor SNP data

Project description:We present a computational tool, FounderTracker, for discovering founder mutations in cancer, based on the detection of significantly conserved haplotypes in tumor SNP profiles. We demonstrate the relevance of the approach by identifying founder mutations in two different cancers, and we show with simulated data that FounderTracker can detect rare founder mutations with high power and negligible false discovery rate. FounderTracker is a powerful tool for discovering novel founder mutations that may explain part of the "missing" heritability in cancer. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Comprehensive comparative analysis of strand-specific RNA sequencing methods

Project description:Strand-specific massively-parallel cDNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a powerful tool for novel transcript discovery, genome annotation, and expression profiling. Despite multiple published methods for strand-specific RNA-Seq, no consensus exists as to how to choose between them. Here, we developed a comprehensive computational pipeline for the comparison of library quality metrics from any RNA-Seq method. Using the well-annotated Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcriptome as a benchmark, we compared seven library construction protocols, including both published and our own novel methods. We found marked differences in complexity, strand-specificity, evenness and continuity of coverage, agreement with known annotations, and accuracy for expression profiling. Weighing each method’s performance and ease, we identify the dUTP second strand marking and the Illumina RNA ligation methods as the leading protocols, with the former benefitting from the availability of paired-end sequencing. Our analysis provides a comprehensive benchmark, and our computational pipeline is applicable for assessment of future protocols in any organism.

High-density chemical cross-linking for modeling protein interactions

Project description:We combine several orthogonal cross-linking chemistries as well as improvements in search algorithms, statistical analysis and computational cost to achieve coverage of one unique cross-linked position pair for every 7 amino acids at a 1% false discovery rate. This is accomplished without any peptide-level fractionation, enrichment, or isotopic labeling. We apply our methods to model the complex between a carbonic anhydrase (CA) and its protein inhibitor, as well as the yeast proteasome

Comprehensive evaluation of differential gene expression analysis methods for RNA-seq data

Project description:A large number of computational methods have been recently developed for analyzing differential gene expression (DE) in RNA-seq data. We report on a comprehensive evaluation of the commonly used DE methods using the SEQC benchmark data set and data from ENCODE project. We evaluated a number of key features including: normalization, accuracy of DE detection and DE analysis when one condition has no detectable expression. We found significant differences among the methods. Furthermore, computational methods designed for DE detection from expression array data perform comparably to methods customized for RNA-seq. Most importantly, our results demonstrate that increasing the number of replicate samples significantly improves detection power over increased sequencing depth.

Multi-level Support Vector Regression analysis to identify condition-specific regulatory networks

Project description:The identification of gene regulatory modules is an important yet challenging problem in computational biology. While many computational methods have been proposed to identify regulatory modules, their initial success is largely compromised by a high rate of false positives, especially when applied to human cancer studies. New strategies are needed for reliable regulatory module identification. We present a new approach, namely multi-level support vector regression (ml-SVR), to systematically identify conditionspecific regulatory modules. The approach is built upon a multi-level analysis strategy designed for suppressing false positive predictions. With this strategy, a regulatory module becomes ever more significant as more relevant gene sets are formed at finer levels. At each level, a two-stage support vector regression (SVR) method is utilized to help reduce false positive predictions by integrating binding motif information and gene expression data; a significant analysis procedure is followed to assess the significance of each regulatory module. We applied our method to breast cancer cell line data to identify condition-specific regulatory modules associated with estrogen treatment. Experimental results show that our method can identify biologically meaningful regulatory modules related to estrogen signaling and action in breast cancer.

Nematode gene annotation by machine learning assisted proteotranscriptomics enables proteome-wide evolutionary analysis

Project description:Nematodes encompass over 24,000 described species, which were discovered in almost every ecological habitat, and make up over 80% of metazoan taxonomic diversity in soils. The last common ancestor of nematodes is believed to date back to around 650–750 million years, generating a large and phylogenetically diverse group to be explored. However, for most species high quality gene annotations are incomprehensive or missing. Combining short-read RNA sequencing with mass spectrometry-based proteomics and machine learning quality control in an approach called proteotranscriptomics, we improve gene annotations for 9 genome-sequenced nematode species and provide new gene annotations for 3 additional species without genome assemblies. Emphasizing the sensitivity of our methodology, we provide evidence for two hitherto undescribed genes in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. Extensive phylogenetic systems analysis using this comprehensive proteome annotation provides new insights into evolutionary processes of this metazoan group.

Whole Genome Sequencing and Haplotyping of Blastocyst Biopsies

Project description:Current methods available for pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryos do not detect de novo. Detection of these types of mutations requires whole genome sequencing (WGS). In this study advanced massively parallel WGS was performed on three 5-10 cell biopsies from two blastocyst-stage embryos. Overall, greater than 95% of each genome was called and experimentally derived haplotypes and barcoded read data were used to detect and phase up to 82% of de novo single base mutations with a false positive rate of ~1 error per Gb. These results suggest that phased WGS using barcoded DNA could be used in the future as part of the PGD process to maximize comprehensiveness in detecting disease causing mutations and reduce the incidence of genetic diseases.
