Project description:Accurate Detection of Somatic Mutations in Single Cells by scNanoSeq
Project description:We developed TARGET-seq, a single-cell genotyping and RNA-seq method, which allows accurate detection of multiple mutations within single-cells from genomic and coding DNA in parallel with whole transcriptome analysis, providing a powerful tool to link transcriptional and genetic tumor heterogeneity. Single cell whole transcriptome sequencing of Lineage-CD34+ HSPC (Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells) from patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms and normal controls using full-length TARGET-seq reveals distinct molecular signatures associated with the presence of somatic mutations in single cells as well as distinct transcriptional profiles of WT cells from patient samples as compared with normal controls.
Project description:We developed 3'-TARGET-seq, a single-cell genotyping and RNA-seq method, which allows accurate detection of multiple mutations within single-cells from genomic and coding DNA in parallel with high throughput 3'-biased whole transcriptome analysis, providing a powerful tool to link transcriptional and genetic tumor heterogeneity. Single cell whole transcriptome sequencing of 2798 Lineage-CD34+ HSPC (Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells) from patients with JAK2-V617F mutant myelofibrosis and normal controls using 3'-TARGET-seq reveals distinct molecular signatures associated with the presence of somatic mutations in single cells as well as distinct transcriptional profiles of WT cells from patient samples as compared with normal controls.
Project description:5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) are modified versions of cytosine in DNA with roles in regulating gene expression. Using whole genomic DNA from mouse cerebellum, we have benchmarked 5mC and 5hmC detection by Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing against other standard techniques. In addition, we assessed the ability of duplex base-calling to study strand asymmetric modification. Nanopore detection of 5mC and 5hmC is accurate relative to compared techniques and opens new means of studying these modifications. Strand asymmetric modification is widespread across the genome but reduced at imprinting control regions and CTCF binding sites in mouse cerebellum. This study demonstrates the unique ability of nanopore sequencing to improve the resolution and detail of cytosine modification mapping.

Project description:Investigating low frequency somatic mutations in Arabidopsis with Duplex Sequencing
Project description:Abstract Mutations in the gene encoding nucleophosmin (NPM1) carry prognostic value for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Various techniques are currently being used to detect these mutations in routine molecular diagnostics. Incorporation of accurate NPM1 mutation detection on a gene expression platform would enable simultaneous detection with various other expression biomarkers. Here we present an array based mutation detection using custom probes for NPM1 WT mRNA and NPM1 type A, B, and D mutant mRNA. This method was 100% accurate on a training cohort of 505 newly diagnosed unselected AML cases. Validation on an independent cohort of 143 normal karyotype AML cases revealed no false negative results, and one false positive (sensitivity 100.0%, and specificity 98.7%). Based on this, we conclude that this method provides a reliable method for NPM1 mutation detection. The method can be applied to other genes/mutations as long as the mutant alleles are sufficiently high expressed. Validation cohort of 143 AML cases analyzed using the AMLprofiler

Single cell whole transcriptome analysis of JURKAT, SET2 and HSPCs using SMART-seq+, mRNA targeting (tSMARTseq) or TARGET-seq reveals very good correlations between methods.
