Project description:To identify aberrant splicing isoforms and potential neoantigens, we performed full-length cDNA sequencing of lung adenocarcinoma cell lines using a long-read sequencer MinION. We constructed a comprehensive catalog of aberrant splicing isoforms and detected isoform-specific peptides using proteome analysis.
Project description:Here we describe CapTrap-Seq, an experimental workflow designed to address the problem of reduced transcript end detection by long-read RNA sequencing methods, especially at the 5' ends. We apply CapTrap-Seq to profile transcriptomes of the human heart and brain and we compared the obtained results with other library preparation approaches. CapTrap-Seq is a platform-agnostic method and here tested the method by using 3 different long-read sequencing platforms: MinION (ONT), Sequel (PacBaio) and Sequel II (PacBio).
Project description:Transposon insertion site sequencing (TIS) is a powerful method for associating genotype to phenotype. However, all TIS methods described to date use short nucleotide sequence reads which cannot uniquely determine the locations of transposon insertions within repeating genomic sequences where the repeat units are longer than the sequence read length. To overcome this limitation, we have developed a TIS method using Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology that generates and uses long nucleotide sequence reads; we have called this method LoRTIS (Long Read Transposon Insertion-site Sequencing). This experiment data contains sequence files generated using Nanopore and Illumina platforms. Biotin1308.fastq.gz and Biotin2508.fastq.gz are fastq files generated from nanopore technology. Rep1-Tn.fastq.gz and Rep1-Tn.fastq.gz are fastq files generated using Illumina platform. In this study, we have compared the efficiency of two methods in identification of transposon insertion sites.
Project description:The genome of two isogenic lines from Aedes aegypti from Ile Royale, French Guiana, with a marked difference in resistance to deltamethrin was investigated in order to understand the genetic basis of this phenotypic difference. Genomic sequencing was performed both with Illumina short, paired reads and with Minion long reads.
Project description:S. meliloti strains with a bi- and monopartite genome configuration were constructed by consecutive Cre/lox-mediated site-specific fusions of the secondary replicons. Beside the correct genomic arrangements, these strains and precursors were tested for variations in the nucleotide sequence. Futher, a marker fequency analysis was performed to test if replication is initiated at all origins and to determine the replication termination regions of the triple replicon fusion molecule. To gain the sequence data for these analyses, respective strains were applied to whole genome sequencing using an Illumina MiSeq-System and Oxford Nanopore (MinION) sequencing technology.
