Project description:Long-read sequencing technologies such as Iso-Seq (PacBio Inc.) generate highly accurate sequences of full-length mRNA transcript isoforms. Long-read transcriptomics may be especially useful in the context of lymphocyte functional plasticity as it relates to human health and disease. However, no long-read isoform-aware reference transcriptomes of human circulating lymphocytes seem to be publicly available despite being valuable as benchmarks in a variety of transcriptomic studies. To begin to fill this gap, we purified four lymphocyte subsets (CD4 T, CD8 T, NK, and Pan B cells) from the peripheral blood of a healthy male donor and obtained high-quality RNA (RIN>8) for PacBio Iso-Seq analysis and parallel RNA-Seq analysis.

Project description:STAMBPL1 plays a previously unappreciated role in post-transcriptional regulation, especially in RNA splicing pathways. Thus, PacBio long-read iso-sequencing was performed to acquire a high-precision transcription landscape after STAMBPL1 knockingdown in Huh7 cells
Project description:Long-read sequencing technologies such as Iso-Seq (PacBio Inc.) generate highly accurate sequences of full-length mRNA transcript isoforms. Long-read transcriptomics may be especially useful in the context of T cell functional plasticity as it relates to human health and disease. However, To our knowledge, no long-read transcriptome reference exists for activated human CD4 T cells. To begin to fill this gap, we purified CD4 T cells from the peripheral blood of a healthy female donor and activated these cells with anti-CD3/CD28 beads to generate populations of early activated (4hr), mid-activated (16hr), blasting (48hr) and proliferating (120hr) CD4 T cells. From each of these time points, we obtained high-quality RNA (RIN>9) for PacBio Iso-Seq analysis and parallel RNA-Seq analysis, which we hope will serve as a reference for future transcriptomic studies of these populations.

Project description:Full-Length cDNA transcriptome (Iso-Seq) data sequenced on the PacBio Sequel system using 2.1 chemistry. Multiplexed cDNA library of 12 samples (3 tissues x 4 strains). Tissues: root, embryo, endosperm. Strains: B73, Ki11, B73xKi11, Ki11xB73.
Project description:We used PacBio data to identify more reliable transcripts from hESC, based on which we can estimate gene/transcript abundance better from Illumina data. PacBio long reads and Illumina short reads were generated from the same hESC cell line H1. PacBio reads were error-corrected by Illumina reads to identify transcripts. rSeq is used to estimate gene/transcript abundance of the identified transcriptome.
Project description:BackgroundSwitchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is an important bioenergy crop widely used for lignocellulosic research. While extensive transcriptomic analyses have been conducted on this species using short read-based sequencing techniques, very little has been reliably derived regarding alternatively spliced (AS) transcripts.ResultsWe present an analysis of transcriptomes of six switchgrass tissue types pooled together, sequenced using Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) single-molecular long-read technology. Our analysis identified 105,419 unique transcripts covering 43,570 known genes and 8795 previously unknown genes. 45,168 are novel transcripts of known genes. A total of 60,096 AS transcripts are identified, 45,628 being novel. We have also predicted 1549 transcripts of genes involved in cell wall construction and remodeling, 639 being novel transcripts of known cell wall genes. Most of the predicted transcripts are validated against Illumina-based short reads. Specifically, 96% of the splice junction sites in all the unique transcripts are validated by at least five Illumina reads. Comparisons between genes derived from our identified transcripts and the current genome annotation revealed that among the gene set predicted by both analyses, 16,640 have different exon-intron structures.ConclusionsOverall, substantial amount of new information is derived from the PacBio RNA data regarding both the transcriptome and the genome of switchgrass.
