Systematic assessment of next-generation sequencing for quantitative small RNA profiling: a multiple protocol study across multiple laboratories

ABSTRACT: Small RNA-seq is increasingly being used for profiling of small RNAs. Quantitative characteristics of long RNA-seq have been extensively described, but small RNA-seq involves fundamentally different methods for library preparation, with distinct protocols and technical variations that have not been fully and systematically studied. We report here the results of a study using common references (synthetic RNA pools of defined composition, as well as plasma-derived RNA) to evaluate the accuracy, reproducibility and bias of small RNA-seq library preparation for five distinct protocols and across nine different laboratories. We observed protocol-specific and sequence-specific bias, which was ameliorated using adapters for ligation with randomized end-nucleotides, and computational correction factors. Despite this technical bias, relative quantification using small RNA-seq was remarkably accurate and reproducible, even across multiple laboratories using different methods. These results provide strong evidence for the feasibility of reproducible cross-laboratory small RNA-seq studies, even those involving analysis of data generated using different protocols. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Systematic assessment of next-generation sequencing for quantitative small RNA profiling: synthetic equimolar pool

Project description:Small RNA-seq is increasingly being used for profiling of small RNAs. Quantitative characteristics of long RNA-seq have been extensively described, but small RNA-seq involves fundamentally different methods for library preparation, with distinct protocols and technical variations that have not been fully and systematically studied. Using common sets of reference samples, we evaluated the accuracy, reproducibility and bias of small RNA-seq library preparation for five distinct protocols and across nine different laboratories. As part of this larger study, we assessed sequencing bias and reproducibility using an equimolar pool of 1,152 small RNA sequences ranging from 15-90 nt, and primarily comprised of annotated human microRNAs. We observed extensive protocol-specific and sequence-specific bias that was largely mitigated in protocols employing sequencing adapters with randomized end-nucleotides. We find that sequencing bias is highly reproducible across labs using the same library preparation technologies, and use the data to calculate inter-protocol bias correction factors. These results provide strong evidence for the feasibility of reproducible cross-laboratory small RNA-seq studies, even those involving analysis of data generated using different protocols.

Systematic assessment of next-generation sequencing for quantitative small RNA profiling: synthetic ratiometric pools

Project description:Small RNA-seq is increasingly being used for profiling of small RNAs. Quantitative characteristics of long RNA-seq have been extensively described, but small RNA-seq involves fundamentally different methods for library preparation, with distinct protocols and technical variations that have not been fully and systematically studied. Using common sets of reference samples, we evaluated the accuracy, reproducibility and bias of small RNA-seq library preparation for five distinct protocols and across nine different laboratories. As part of this larger study, we assessed reproducibility and accuracy of relative expression measurements using two pools of synthetic small RNA sequences, where subsets of the sRNAs vary in relative amount between pools A and B. The pools each contain 334 small RNAs, varying by 15 different ratios between pools A and B (10:1, 8:1, 5:1, 4:1, 3:1, 2:1, 1.5:1, 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 1:5, 1:8, 1:10). We find that although the sequencing bias varies extensively between protocols, the relative abundance measured between samples A and B is largely reproducible and accurate across labs and protocols. These results suggest that measurements of differential expression should be comparable across institutions and library preparation technologies.

Systematic assessment of next-generation sequencing for quantitative small RNA profiling: human plasma pool

Project description:Small RNA-seq is increasingly being used for profiling of small RNAs. Quantitative characteristics of long RNA-seq have been extensively described, but small RNA-seq involves fundamentally different methods for library preparation, with distinct protocols and technical variations that have not been fully and systematically studied. Using common sets of reference samples, we evaluated the accuracy, reproducibility and bias of small RNA-seq library preparation for five distinct protocols and across nine different laboratories. As part of this larger study, we assessed reproducibility and diversity of sequencing of mature miRNAs, generating libraries from RNA extracted from human plasma that was pooled from 11 healthy individuals. We find that protocol-specific biases are largely recapitulated in the biological samples, and that inter-protocol bias correction factors estimated from the more comprehensive equimolar synthetic pools can be applied to the biological samples to get more comparable, and in some cases, more accurate estimates of miRNA abundance.

Transcriptional signatures in iPSC-derived neurons are reproducible across labs when differentiation protocols are closely matched

Project description:Reproducibility of expression patterns in iPSC-derived cells from different labs is an important first step in ensuring replication of biochemical or functional assays that are performed in different labs. Here we show that reproducible gene expression patterns from iPSCs and iPSC-derived neurons matured and collected at two separate laboratory locations can be achieved by closely matching protocols and reagents. While there are significant differences in gene expression between iPSCs and differentiated neurons, as well as between different donor lines of the same cell type, transcriptional changes that vary with laboratory sites are relatively small. These results suggest that making great efforts to match protocols, reagents and technical methods between labs may improve the reproducibility of iPSC-derived cell models.

An improved protocol for small RNA library construction by using High-Definition adapters

Project description:Most of small RNA library construction methods are based on RNA ligases, which prefer to join the molecules (small RNAs and adapters) that can anneal to each other and form a ligase favoured structure. Different platforms for next generation sequencing use different adapter sequences, causing the cloning bias. Adapters with degenerated nucleotides at the ligating ends (High Definition, HD adapters) were developed to reduce the cloning bias. However, above 90% of the cloning products is adapter dimer when the current available commercial kits and their corresponding protocols are used. Here we adopted and further improved a method demonstrated in a publically available patent (http://www.google.com/patents/WO2011056866A2?cl=en). Using the improved method, we constructed the small RNA libraries by using the total RNA of Medicago truncatula leaf tissue. The adapter dimer was significantly reduced. The small RNA sequences were also analysed.

Evaluation of ribonucleic acid amplification protocols for human oocyte transcriptome analysis

Project description:Objective: To develop a reliable, reproducible, and sensitive method for investigating gene-expression profiles from individual human oocytes. Setting: University medical center and university microarray laboratory. Patient(s): Couples undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment were asked to donate their immature oocytes for research, and written informed consent was obtained in all cases. Seventy-nine human oocytes were used in total. Intervention(s): None. Main Outcome Measure(s): Amplification efficiency and microarray profiles. Result(s): Two of the five protocols (WT-Ovation One-Direct and Arcturus RiboAMp HS Plus) resulted in sufficient yields and high success rates and were further validated for their performance in obtaining reliable, reproducible, and sensitive expression profiles from individual human oocytes. Evaluation of these two protocols demonstrated that they both displayed low technical variation and produced highly reproducible profiles (r R 0.95). One of them identified significantly more transcripts but also had a higher number of false discoveries. Conclusion(s): Two protocols generated ample amounts of mRNA for (quantitative) polymerase chain reaction, microarray, and sequencing techniques. Further validation using a design that discriminates between biological and technical variation showed that both protocols can be used for gene-expression profiling of individual human oocytes.

Cross-platform comparability of microarray data

Project description:To facilitate collaborative research efforts between multi-investigator teams using DNA microarrays, we identified sources of error and data variability between laboratories and across microarray platforms and methods to accommodate this variability. RNA expression data were generated in seven laboratories, comparing two standard RNA samples using twelve microarray platforms. At least two standard microarray types (one spotted, one commercial) were used by all laboratories. Reproducibility for most platforms within any laboratory was typically good, but reproducibility between platforms and across laboratories was generally poor. Reproducibility between laboratories dramatically increased when standardized protocols were implemented for RNA labeling, hybridization, microarray processing, data acquisition and data normalization. Nonetheless, concordance could be found across different laboratories and platforms when data were analyzed in terms of enriched Gene Ontology categories. These findings indicate that microarray results generated by multiple sites and platforms can be comparable, and that multi-investigator teams will maximize data comparability by adopting a common platform and a common set of procedures to generate compatible data.
