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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Comprehensive Assessment of Isoform Detection Methods for Third-Generation Sequencing Data

Project description:The advancement of Third-Generation Sequencing (TGS) techniques managed to increase the sequencing length to several kilobases, which leads to a bright future for completely reserving alternative splicing (AS) events and isoform expressions. In recent years, many computational methods for isoform detection from long-read sequencing data have been developed and published. However, there is no prior comparative study that systemically evaluates the performance of the software implemented with different algorithms. Here we benchmarked nine methods implemented in seven computational tools that can identify isoform structures from TGS RNA sequencing data and analyzed their performances from various aspects using both simulated datasets produced by an in-house simulator and previously published experimental data. Our results comprehensively demonstrate the relative effectiveness of the approaches and provide guidance as well as recommendations for future research on AS analysis and further improvement of the tools for isoform detection using TGS data.

RNA-seq alignment to individualized genomes

RNA-seq alignment to individualized genomes

Project description:The source of most errors in RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) read alignment is in the repetitive structure of the genome and not with the alignment algorithm. Genetic variation away from the reference sequence exacerbates this problem causing reads to be assigned to the wrong location. We developed a method, implemented as the software package Seqnature, to construct the imputed genomes of individuals (individualized genomes) of experimental model organisms including inbred mouse strains and genetically unique outbred animals. Alignment to individualized genomes increases read mapping accuracy and improves transcript abundance estimates. In an application to expression QTL mapping, this approach corrected erroneous linkages and unmasked thousands of hidden associations. Individualized genomes accounting for genetic variation will be useful for human short-read sequencing and other sequencing applications including ChIP-seq. Illumina 100bp single-end liver RNA-seq from 277 male and female Diversity Outbred 26-week old mice raised on standard chow or high fat diet. In addition, Illumina 100bp single-end liver RNA-seq from 128 male 26-week old male mice (20 weeks for NZO strain) from each of the DO founder strains raised on standard chow or high fat diet (8 males per strain by diet group). Each sample was sequenced in 2-4x technical replicates across multiple flowcells. Samples were randomly assigned lanes and multiplexed at 12-24x.

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

Project description: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.

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.

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. Interrogation of the S. pombe transcriptome using rRNA depleted strand specific RNA sequencing (Illumina HiSeq 2000) in wild type and dbr1.M-NM-^T cultures. A total of 4 samples were analyzed: two biological repeates of wild-type strain and two biological repeats of dbr1.M-NM-^T
