Project description:RNA-seq is widely used for studying gene expression, but commonly used sequencing platforms produce short reads that only span up to two exon-junctions per read. This makes it difficult to accurately determine the composition and phasing of exons within transcripts. Although long-read sequencing improves this issue, it is not amenable to precise quantitation, which limits its utility for differential expression studies. We used long-read isoform sequencing combined with a novel analysis approach to compare alternative splicing of large, repetitive structural genes in muscles. Analysis of muscle structural genes that produce medium (Nrap - 5kb), large (Nebulin - 22 kb) and very-large (Titin - 106 kb) transcripts in cardiac muscle, and fast and slow skeletal muscles identified unannotated exons for each of these ubiquitous muscle genes. This also identified differential exon usage and phasing for these genes between the different muscle types. By mapping the in-phase transcript structures to known annotations, we also identified and quantified previously unannotated transcripts. Results were confirmed by endpoint PCR and Sanger sequencing, which revealed muscle-type specific differential expression of these novel transcripts. The improved transcript identification and quantification demonstrated by our approach removes previous impediments to studies aimed at quantitative differential expression of ultra-long transcripts.

Project description:Adenovirus is a common human pathogen that relies on host cell processes for transcription and processing of viral RNA and protein production. Although adenoviral promoters, splice junctions, and cleavage and polyadenylation sites have been characterized using low-throughput biochemical techniques or short read cDNA-based sequencing, these technologies do not fully capture the complexity of the adenoviral transcriptome. By combining Illumina short-read and nanopore long-read direct RNA sequencing approaches, we mapped transcription start sites and cleavage and polyadenylation sites across the adenovirus genome. In addition to confirming the known canonical viral early and late RNA cassettes, our analysis of splice junctions within long RNA reads revealed an additional 35 novel viral transcripts. These RNAs include fourteen new splice junctions which lead to expression of canonical open reading frames (ORF), six novel ORF-containing transcripts, and fifteen transcripts encoding for messages that potentially alter protein functions through truncations or fusion of canonical ORFs. In addition, we also detect RNAs that bypass canonical cleavage sites and generate potential chimeric proteins by linking separate gene transcription units. Of these, an evolutionary conserved protein was detected containing the N-terminus of E4orf6 fused to the downstream DBP/E2A ORF. Loss of this novel protein, E4orf6/DBP, was associated with aberrant viral replication center morphology and poor viral spread. Our work highlights how long-read sequencing technologies can reveal further complexity within viral transcriptomes.

Project description:Recent studies have demonstrated that the non-coding genome can produce unannotated proteins as antigens that induce immune response. One major source of this activity is the aberrant epigenetic reactivation of transposable elements (TEs). In tumors, TEs often provide cryptic or alternate promoters, which can generate transcripts that encode tumor-specific unannotated proteins. Thus, TE-derived transcripts have the potential to produce tumor-specific, but recurrent, antigens shared among many tumors. Identification of TE-derived tumor antigens holds the promise to improve cancer immunotherapy approaches; however, current genomics and computational tools are not optimized for their detection. Here we combined CAGE technology with full-length long-read transcriptome sequencing (Long-Read CAGE, or LRCAGE) and developed a suite of computational tools to significantly improve immunopeptidome detection by incorporating TE-derived and other tumor transcripts into the proteome database. By applying our methods to human lung cancer cell line H1299 data, we demonstrated that long-read technology significantly improves mapping of promoters with low mappability scores and LRCAGE guarantees accurate construction of uncharacterized 5’ transcript structure. Unannotated peptides predicted from newly characterized transcripts were readily detectable in whole cell lysate mass-spectrometry data. Incorporating unannotated peptides into the proteome database enabled us to detect non-canonical antigens in HLA-pulldown LC-MS/MS data. At last, we showed that epigenetic treatment increased the number of non-canonical antigens, particularly those encoded by TE-derived transcripts, which might expand the pool of targetable antigens for cancers with low mutational burden.

Project description:High throughput single-cell RNA sequencing (sc-RNAseq) has become a frequently used tool to assess immune cell function and heterogeneity. Recently, the combined measurement of RNA and protein expression by sequencing was developed, which is commonly known as CITE-Seq. Acquisition of protein expression data along with transcriptome data resolves some of the limitations inherent to only assessing transcript, but also nearly doubles the sequencing read depth required per single cell. Furthermore, there is still a paucity of analysis tools to visualize combined transcript-protein datasets. Here, we describe a novel targeted transcriptomics approach that combines analysis of over 400 genes with simultaneous measurement of over 40 proteins on more than 25,000 cells. This targeted approach requires only about 1/10 of the read depth compared to a whole transcriptome approach while retaining high sensitivity for low abundance transcripts. To analyze these multi-omic transcript-protein datasets, we adapted One-SENSE for intuitive visualization of the relationship of proteins and transcripts on a single-cell level.

Project description:Pioneering studies (PXD014844) have identified many interesting molecules in tick saliva by LC-MS/MS proteomics, but the protein databases used to assign mass spectra were based on short Illumina reads of the Amblyomma americanum transcriptome and may not have captured the diversity and complexity of longer transcripts. Here we apply long-read Pacific Bioscience technologies to complement the previously reported short-read Illumina transcriptome-based proteome in an effort to increase spectrum assignments. Our dataset reveals a small increase in assignable spectra to supplement the previously released short-read transcriptome-based proteome.

Project description:Ribo-Seq (ribosome profiling) enables global assessment of translation efficiency, yields and fidelity. However, low-abundance transcripts receive little coverage and fall outside of the Ribo-Seq detection limit. We developed a new twist of the Ribo-Seq approach, termed transcript specific Ribo-Seq (tsRibo-Seq) to specifically detect lowly abundant messenger RNAs (mRNAs). This approach yields unprecedented depth in the coverage of individual low-abundance transcripts allowing identification of slow and fast translating regions with nucleotide resolution.

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.
