Ab initio reconstruction of transcriptomes of pluripotent and lineage committed cells reveals gene structures of thousands of lincRNAs

ABSTRACT: RNA-Seq provides an unbiased way to study a transcriptome, including both coding and non-coding genes. To date, most RNA-Seq studies have critically depended on existing annotations, and thus focused on studying expression levels and variation in known transcripts. Here, we present Scripture, a method to reconstruct the transcriptome of a mammalian cell using only RNA-Seq reads and the genome sequence. We apply this approach to mouse embryonic stem cells, neuronal precursor cells, and lung fibroblasts to accurately reconstruct the full-length gene structures for the vast majority of known genes. We identify novel biological variation in protein-coding genes, including thousands of novel 5'-start sites, 3'-ends, and internal coding exons. We then determine the gene structures of over a thousand lincRNA loci. Our results open the way to direct experimental manipulation of thousands of non-coding RNAs, and demonstrate the power of ab initio reconstruction to provide a comprehensive picture of mammalian transcriptomes.

Conserved Function of lincRNAs in Vertebrate Embryonic Development Despite Rapid Sequence Evolution

Project description:Thousands of large intervening non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) have been identified in mammals. To better understand the evolution and functions of these enigmatic RNAs, we used chromatin marks, poly(A)-site mapping and RNA-Seq data, to identify more than 550 distinct lincRNAs in zebrafish. Although these shared many characteristics with mammalian lincRNAs, only 29 had detectable sequence similarity with putative mammalian orthologs, typically restricted to a single short region of high conservation. Other lincRNAs had conserved genomic locations without detectable sequence conservation. Antisense reagents targeting conserved regions of two zebrafish lincRNAs caused developmental defects. Reagents targeting splice sites caused the same defects and were rescued by adding either the mature lincRNA or its human or mouse ortholog. Our study provides a roadmap for identification and analysis of lincRNAs in model organisms and shows that lincRNAs play crucial biological roles during embryonic development with functionality conserved despite limited sequence conservation. H3K4me3, H3K36me3 chromatin maps, 3P-Seq and RNA-Seq were used to identify lincRNAs in the zebrafish genome

Structural annotation of equine protein-coding genes determined by mRNA sequencing

Project description:The horse, like a majority of animal species, has a limited amount of species-specific expressed sequence data available in public databases. As a result, structural models for a majority of genes defined in the equine genome are predictions based on ab initio sequence analysis or the projection of gene structures from other mammalian species. The current study used Illumina-based sequencing of messenger RNA (RNA-seq) to help refine structural annotation of equine protein-coding genes and for a preliminary assessment of gene expression patterns. Sequencing of mRNA from eight equine tissues generated 293,758,105 thirty five-base sequence tags, equaling 10.28 giga-basepairs of total sequence data. The tag alignments represent approximately 208X coverage of the equine mRNA transcriptome and confirmed transcriptional activity for roughly 90% of the protein-coding gene structures predicted by Ensembl and NCBI. Tag coverage was sufficient to define structural annotation for 11,356 genes, while also identifying an additional 456 transcripts with exon/intron features that are not listed by either Ensembl or NCBI. Genomic locus data and intervals for the protein-coding genes predicted by the Ensembl and NCBI annotation pipelines were combined with 75,116 RNA-seq derived transcriptional units to generate a consensus equine protein-coding gene set of 20,302 defined loci. Gene ontology annotation was used to compare the functional and structural categories of genes expressed in either a tissue-restricted pattern or broadly across all tissue samples.

The transposable element composition of human lincRNAs reveals a role for HERVH elements to promote stem cell specific expression of lincRNAs

Project description:Numerous studies over the past decade have elucidated a substantial set of long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs). It has since become clear that lincRNAs constitute an important layer of genome regulation across a wide spectrum of species. Yet, the factors governing their evolution and origins remain relatively unexplored. One possible factor that may have shaped lincRNA biology are transposable elements (TEs). Here we set out to comprehensively characterize the TE content of lincRNAs relative to genomic averages and protein coding transcripts. Our analysis of the TE composition across 9241 human lincRNAs revealed that, in sharp contrast to protein coding genes, a striking majority (83%) of lincRNAs contain a TE, and TEs comprise 42% of lincRNA transcript sequences. LincRNA TE composition varies significantly from genomic averages, being depleted of LI and Alu elements and enriched for a broad class of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Furthermore, specific TE families occur in biased positions and orientations within lincRNAs, particularly at their transcription start sites, suggesting a role in the origin of those lincRNAs. Finally, we find that TEs can drive gene expression regulation of lincRNAs—we observed a dramatic correlation between lincRNAs containing HERVH elements and almost exclusive expression in pluripotent cells. Conversely, those lincRNAs that are devoid of TEs are more highly expressed in testis. Collectively, TEs pervade lincRNAs and have shaped lincRNA evolution and function via bestowing tissue-specific expression from donated transcriptional regulatory signals. We extracted profiled the transcriptome expression polyadenylated mRNA-Seq. We then used these to reconstruct the transcriptome using de-novo assemblers and identify long non coding RNAs and their expression.

A novel protein coding potential of long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) in the kinetoplastid protozoan parasite Leishmania major

Project description:Leishmania major is a kinetoplastid protozoan parasite which causes the debilitating infectious disease cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). This disease results in scars and disfiguration of the infected individuals. The L. major genome was the first leishmanial genome to be sequenced in 2005 and this study resulted in the identification of 8,300 protein coding genes. This landmark study paved the way for further sequencing of other leishmanial parasites (L. infantum, L. braziliensis and L. donovani). A recent study provided the glimpse of the global transcriptome of L. major promastigotes. This study identified 1,884 uniquely expressed non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) in L. major. Additionally, we had previously mapped the global proteome of L. major promastigote using a proteogenomic approach which resulted in identification of 3,613 proteins in L. major promastigotes which covered 43% of its proteome. In the present study, we have carried out extensive analysis of the 1,884 novel ncRNAs using a proteogenomic approach to identify their protein coding potential. Our analysis resulted in identification of 10 novel protein coding genes based on peptide data and additional hundreds of proteins coding genes based on homology searches of previously classified ncRNA genes. We have analyzed each of these novel protein coding genes and in the process have improved the genome annotation of L. major on the basis of mass spectrometry derived peptide data and also based on homology.

Ab initio identification of transcription start sites (TSSs) in the Rhesus macaque genome by histone modification and RNA-Seq

Project description:We addressed the lack of experimentally supported transcript annotations in the Rhesus macaque genome by ab initio identification of the transcription start sites (TSSs). We took advantage of histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3)'s ability to mark TSSs and the recently developed ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq technology to survey the transcript structures in the macaque brain. We then integrated the two types of our newly generated data with genomic sequence features and extended a TSS prediction algorithm to ab initio predict and verify 16,833 of previously electronically annotated transcription start sites at 500 bp resolution and predicted ~10,000 new TSSs. We took advantage of histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3)M-bM-^@M-^Ys ability to mark transcription start sites (TSSs) and the recently developed ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq technology to survey the transcript structures. By integrating the ChIP-seq, RNA-seq and small RNA-seq data (previously uploaded to GEO as GSM450615 by our collaborator) with genomic sequence features and extending and improving a state-of-the-art TSS prediction algorithm, we ab initio predicted and verified previously electronically annotated TSSs at a high resolution, and predicted some novel TSSs.

Pervasive genomic transcription during oxidative stress generates thousands of previously uncharacterized lncRNAs (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Oxidative stress (OS) is caused by an imbalance between pro-oxidant and antioxidant reactions which leads to accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within cells. ROS can be harmful, due to their damaging effects on several cellular components, but are at the same time essential components of signaling cues. We investigate the effect of OS on the immediate early transcriptional response at a genomic level, by deep sequencing of nuclear and cytosolic RNA fractions, in in human fibroblasts treated for 30 or 120 minutes with sub-lethal doses of H2O2. In contrast to most of the protein-coding transcriptome, OS induces de novo transient transcription of thousands of previously uncharacterized genomic loci. We classify these stress induced long non coding RNAs (lncRNA) based on their genomic annotation and strand orientation relative to their nearest gene: distal, overlapping, terminal-associated or promoter-associated. The latter class of stress-induced promoter associated antisense lncRNAs (si-paancRNAs), is preferentially transcribed by PolII, which elongates from bidirectional promoters, enriched for specific transcription factor-binding sites (ZFP161, ZFX, MEF2A and divergent-FOS motives). Interestingly the associated sense-coding genes belong to specific functional categories (cellular response to stress and others). We finally demonstrate that a subset of si-paancRNAs associate better with the translation machinery, which is stalled, upon OS. Most studies to date have focused on the repertoire of lncRNAs present in physiological conditions. We here report the surprising result that thousands of lncRNAs are transcriptionally upregulated upon OS from specific loci possibly playing a role in physiological or pathological response to stress.
