Project description:Despite highly conserved chromatin states and cis-regulatory elements, studies of metazoan genomes reveal that gene organization and the strategies to control mRNA expression can vary widely among animal species. C. elegans gene regulation is often assumed to be similar to that of other model organisms, yet evidence suggests the existence of distinct molecular mechanisms to pattern the developmental transcriptome, including extensive post-transcriptional RNA control pathways, widespread splice leader (SL) trans-splicing of pre-mRNAs, and the organization of genes into operons. Here, we performed ChIP-seq for histone modifications in highly synchronized embryos cohorts representing three major developmental stages, with the goal of better characterizing whether the dynamic changes in embryonic mRNA expression are accompanied by changes to the chromatin state. We were surprised to find that thousands of promoters are persistently marked by active histone modifications, despite a fundamental restructuring of the transcriptome. We employed global run-on sequencing using a long-read nanopore format to map nascent RNA transcription across embryogenesis, finding that the invariant open chromatin regions are persistently transcribed by Pol II at all stages of embryo development, even though the mature mRNA is not produced. By annotating our nascent RNA sequencing reads into directional transcription units, we find extensive evidence of polycistronic RNA transcription genome-wide, suggesting that nearby genes in C. elegans are linked by shared transcriptional regulatory mechanisms. We present data indicating that the sharing of cis-regulatory sequences has constrained C. elegans gene positioning and likely explains the remarkable retention of syntenic gene pairs over long evolutionary timescales.

Project description:Direct full-length RNA sequencing reveals unexpected transcriptome complexity during C. elegans development

Project description:Recent work has shown that small non-coding RNAs, including miRNAs, serve an important role in controlling gene expression during development and disease. However, little detailed information exists concerning the relative expression patterns of small RNAs during development of C. elegans. Here we use recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technology to show that expression of non-coding small RNAs, including miRNAs, changes dynamically during development and in the different sexes of C. elegans; approximately 16% of known miRNAs changed over 10 fold in expression during C. elegans development and about 12% of miRNAs showed major changes in expression between males and hermaphrodites of C. elegans. These results should lead to a better understanding of the expression and function of small RNAs in C. elegans development.

The number of sequence reads for miRNA was assessed from the raw sequence data from Solexa sequencing using perfect sequence matching to known miRNAs (miRBase Release 11.0).

Project description:State-of-the-art algorithms for m6A detection and quantification via nanopore direct RNA sequencing have been continuously developed, little is known about their capacities and limitations, which makes a comprehensive assessment in urgent need. Therefore, we performed comprehensive benchmarking of 10 computational tools relying on current-based and base-calling “errors” strategies for m6A detection by nanopore sequencing.

Project description:High throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) using cDNA has played a key role in delineating transcriptome complexity, including alternative transcription initiation, splicing, polyadenylation and base modification. However, the reads derived from current RNA-seq technologies are usually short and deprived of information on modification during reverse transcription, compromising their potential in defining transcriptome complexity. Here we applied a direct RNA sequencing method with ultra-long reads from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) to study the transcriptome complexity in C. elegans. We sequenced native poly-A tailed mRNAs by generating approximately six million reads from embryos, L1 larvae and young adult animals, with average read lengths ranging from 900 to 1,100 bps across stages. Around half of the reads represent full-length transcripts, judged by the presence of a splicing-leader or their full coverage of an existing transcript. To take advantage of the full-length transcripts in defining transcriptome complexity, we devised a novel algorithm to predict novel isoforms or group them with exiting isoforms using their mapping tracks rather than the existing intron/exon structures, which allowed us to identify roughly 57,000 novel isoforms and recover at least 26,000 out of the 33,500 existing isoforms. Intriguingly, stage-specific expression at the level of gene and isoform demonstrates little correlation. Finally, we observed an elevated level of modification in all bases in the coding region relative to the UTR. Taken together, the ONT long reads are expected to deliver new insights into RNA processing and modification and their underlying biology.
