Comparative analysis of single-cell and spatial Nanopore long-read methods

ABSTRACT: Alternative splicing significantly contributes to transcriptome complexity and has critical implications for cellular functions. Recent advancements in single-cell isolation and capture techniques have enabled high-throughput quantification of gene expression at single-cell resolution. Long-read sequencing technologies can further be combined with single-cell technologies and enable an unambiguous identification of complete exon structures. Several computational methods have been developed to specifically address bioinformatics challenges associated with the processing of long read scRNA-seq data. Evaluating and comparing these computational methods becomes crucial. The goal of this study was to benchmark state-of-the-art computational tools for single-cell and spatial long-read transcriptomics. The scRNA-seq data were generated from two tumors developed by a mouse model, and designated as MPNST1 and MPNST2. Data were obtained by using the 10X Genomics technology, then generating sequencing libraries using either Illumina, Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) or scNaUmi-Seq protocols. Raw data were obtained after sequencing the libraries on Illumina, MinION or PromethION sequencing platforms. The two Illumina data were uploaded as part of the related submission E-MTAB-14222, with sample MPNST1 corresponding to 2020_23 and MPNST2 to 2022_26. This current submission contains the four long-read raw data et the data processed using the wf-single-cell pipeline.

Project description:The naked mole-rat (NMR; Heterocephalus glaber) has recently gained considerable attention in the scientific community for its unique potential to unveil novel insights in the fields of medicine, biochemistry, and evolution. NMRs exhibit unique adaptations that include protracted fertility, cancer resistance, eusociality, and anoxia. This suite of adaptations is not found in other rodent species, suggesting that interrogating conserved and accelerated regions in the NMR genome will find regions of the NMR genome fundamental to their unique adaptations. However, the current NMR genome assembly has limits that make studying structural variations, heterozygosity, and non-coding adaptations challenging. We present a complete diploid naked-mole rat genome assembly by integrating long-read and 10X-linked read genome sequencing of a male NMR and its parents, and Hi-C sequencing in the NMR hypothalamus (N=2). Reads were identified as maternal, paternal or ambiguous (TrioCanu). We then polished genomes with Flye, Racon and Medaka. Assemblies were then scaffolded using the following tools in order: Scaff10X, Salsa2, 3d-DNA, Minimap2-alignment between assemblies, and the Juicebox Assembly Tools. We then subjected the assemblies to another round of polishing, including short-read polishing with Freebayes. We assembled the NMR mitochondrial genome with mitoVGP. Y chromosome contigs were identified by aligning male and female 10X linked reads to the paternal genome and finding male-biased contigs not present in the maternal genome. Contigs were assembled with publicly available male NMR Fibroblast Hi-C-seq data (SRR820318). Both assemblies have their sex chromosome haplotypes merged so that both assemblies have a high-quality X and Y chromosome. Finally, assemblies were evaluated with Quast, BUSCO, and Merqury, which all reported the base-pair quality and contiguity of both assemblies as high-quality. The assembly will next be annotated by Ensembl using public RNA-seq data from multiple tissues (SRP061363). Together, this assembly will provide a high-quality resource to the NMR and comparative genomics communities.
