Project description:Single-cell sequencing methodologies such as scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq have become widespread and effective tools to interrogate tissue composition. Increasingly, variant callers are being applied to these methodologies to resolve the genetic heterogeneity of a sample, especially in the case of detecting the clonal architecture of a tumor. Typically, traditional bulk DNA variant callers are applied to the pooled reads of a single-cell library to detect candidate mutations. Recently, multiple studies have applied such callers on reads from individual cells, with some citing the ability to detect rare variants with higher sensitivity. Many studies apply these two approaches to the Chromium (10x Genomics) scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq methodologies. However, Chromium-based libraries may offer additional challenges to variant calling compared to existing single-cell methodologies, raising questions for the validity of variants obtained from such a workflow. To determine the merits and challenges of various variant-calling approaches on Chromium scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq libraries, we use sample libraries with matched bulk whole-genome-sequencing to evaluate the performance of callers. We review caller performance, finding that bulk callers applied on pooled reads significantly outperform individual-cell approaches. We also evaluate variants unique to scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq methodologies, finding patterns of noise but also potential capture of RNA-editing events. Finally, we review the notion that variant calling at the single-cell level can detect rare somatic variants, providing empirical results that suggest resolving such variants is infeasible in single-cell Chromium libraries.

Project description:The technology of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) enables risk-free detection of genetic conditions in the fetus, by analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in maternal blood. For chromosomal abnormalities, NIPT often effectively replaces invasive tests (e.g. amniocentesis), although it is considered as screening rather than diagnostics. Most recently, the NIPT has been applied to genome-wide, comprehensive genotyping of the fetus using cfDNA, i.e. identifying all its genetic variants and mutations. Previously, we suggested that NIPD should be treated as a special case of variant calling, and presented Hoobari, the first software tool for noninvasive fetal variant calling. Using a unique pipeline, we were able to comprehensively decipher the inheritance of SNPs and indels. A few caveats still exist in this pipeline. Performance was lower for indels and biparental loci (i.e. where both parents carry the same mutation), and performance was not uniform across the genome. Here we utilized standardized methods for benchmarking of variant calling pipelines and applied them to noninvasive fetal variant calling. By using the best performing pipeline and by focusing on coding regions, we showed that noninvasive fetal genotyping greatly improves performance, particularly in indels and biparental loci. These results emphasize the importance of using widely accepted concepts to describe the challenge of genome-wide NIPT of point mutations; and demonstrate a benchmarking process for the first time in this field. This study brings genome-wide and complete NIPD closer to the clinic; while potentially alleviating uncertainty and anxiety during pregnancy, and promoting informed choices among families and physicians.

Project description:We systematically benchmarked 8 single-cell ATAC sequencing technologies for their capacity to generate high-quality single-cell open chromatin profiles, and to elucidate the regulatory landscape of complex samples. Our study contains 47 individual human PBMC scATAC-seq experiments from a reference male and female donor. To streamline data analysis, we devised PUMATAC (https://github.com/aertslab/PUMATAC), a flexible and universal data analysis pipeline and best practices repository for scATAC-seq. Systematic technology-specific differences in sequencing library complexity and biases in tagmentation specificity were found to impact the accuracy of cell type annotation, genotype demultiplexing, peak calling, differential region accessibility, and motif enrichment. Together, our data forms a new scATAC-seq reference of more than 169, 000 PBMC cells with matched single-cell multiome and RNA-seq data.

Project description:We describe an improved individual nucleotide resolution CLIP protocol (iiCLIP), which can be completed within 4 days from UV crosslinking to libraries for sequencing. For benchmarking, we directly compared PTBP1 iiCLIP libraries with the iCLIP2 protocol produced under standardised conditions with 1 million HEK293 cells, and with public eCLIP and iCLIP PTBP1 data. There are 3 PTBP1 iiCLIP libraries, 1 input iiCLIP library and 1 PTBP1 iCLIP2 library produced in this study.

Project description:Purpose: to depict the single-cell map and reveal the heterogeneity of hPSC derived macrophages Methods: Differentiation day 14 iMacs were dissociated to obtain a single-cell suspension. scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq library preparation and sequencing were done by CapitalBio Technology (https://www.capitalbiotech.com/). scRNA-seq, the cell suspension was immediately loaded onto the Chromium Single Cell Controller (10× Genomics) for droplet formation. cDNA and subsequent sequencing library were generated using Chromiun Single Cell 3’ Reagent Kit (v3 Chemistry) (10× Genomics) according to the instruction manual. For sc-ATAC-seq, cell nuclei were extracted with Chromiun Nuclei Isolation Kit (v2 Chemistry) (10x Genomics) and then loaded onto the Chromium Single Cell Controller for droplet formation. Results: ScRNA-seq and scATAC-seq data of differentiation day 14 iMacs from hPSCs Conclusions: day 14 differentiation culture, which consisted primarily of monocytes and macrophages.

Project description:Plasmodium-specific CD4+ T cells from mice infected with Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi AS parasites were recovered at Days 0, 4, 7, and 32 to undergo processing and to generate scATAC-seq dataset. At Day 7, CXCR5+ and CXCR6+ cells were recovered separately. At Day 32, mice were administered with either saline or artesunate (intermittent artesunate therapy - IAT). scATAC-seq dataset was analysed to investigate epigenomic landscapes of CD4+ T cells from effector to memory states.
