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:To evaluate targeted MinION next generation sequencing as a diagnostic method for detection of pathogens in human blood and plasma, human blood or plasma samples were spiked with measured amounts of viruses, bacteria, protozoan parasites or tested pathogen-free as negative controls. Nucleic acid was extracted from samples and PCR amplification performed in multiplex primer pools with a procedure described in ArrayExpress experiment submission ID 18379. The PCR products were used for library preparation. The libraries sequenced on an Oxford Nanopore MinION. The passed reads aligned with a custom reference file to determine the identity of the pathogen in the sample.
Project description:Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) is currently the gold standard for DNA methylation (5-methylcytosine, 5mC) profiling, however the destructive nature of sodium bisulfite results in DNA fragmentation and subsequent biases in sequencing data. Such issues have led to the development of bisulfite-free methods for 5mC detection. Nanopore sequencing is a long read non-destructive approach that directly analyzes DNA and RNA fragments in real time. Recently, computational tools have been developed that enable base-resolution detection of 5mC from Oxford Nanopore sequencing data. In this chapter we provide a detailed protocol for preparation, sequencing, read assembly and analysis of genome-wide 5mC using Nanopore sequencing technologies.

Project description:We present scNanoATAC-seq (Single-cell Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin by Oxford Nanopore Technologies Sequencing), an effective method for simultaneous detection of chromatin accessibility and genetic variation. Long fragments (about 4-5Kb) of single-cell ATAC-seq library were enriched and sequenced by Oxford Nanopore Technologies platform. Ends of long ATAC-seq fragments are regarded as chromatin accessibility signal in downstream analysis.

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.
