Project description:Sequencing by translocating DNA fragments through an array of nanopores is a rapidly maturing technology that offers faster and cheaper sequencing than other approaches. However, accurately deciphering the DNA sequence from the noisy and complex electrical signal is challenging. Here, we report Chiron, the first deep learning model to achieve end-to-end basecalling and directly translate the raw signal to DNA sequence without the error-prone segmentation step. Trained with only a small set of 4,000 reads, we show that our model provides state-of-the-art basecalling accuracy, even on previously unseen species. Chiron achieves basecalling speeds of more than 2,000 bases per second using desktop computer graphics processing units.

Project description:Conventional targeted sequencing methods eliminate many of the benefits of nanopore sequencing, such as the ability to accurately detect structural variants or epigenetic modifications. The ReadUntil method allows nanopore devices to selectively eject reads from pores in real time, which could enable purely computational targeted sequencing. However, this requires rapid identification of on-target reads while most mapping methods require computationally intensive basecalling. We present UNCALLED ( https://github.com/skovaka/UNCALLED ), an open source mapper that rapidly matches streaming of nanopore current signals to a reference sequence. UNCALLED probabilistically considers k-mers that could be represented by the signal and then prunes the candidates based on the reference encoded within a Ferragina-Manzini index. We used UNCALLED to deplete sequencing of known bacterial genomes within a metagenomics community, enriching the remaining species 4.46-fold. UNCALLED also enriched 148 human genes associated with hereditary cancers to 29.6× coverage using one MinION flowcell, enabling accurate detection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms, insertions and deletions, structural variants and methylation in these genes.

Project description:The bacterial signal recognition particle (SRP) is part of the machinery that targets ribosomes synthesizing membrane proteins to membrane-embedded translocons co-translationally. Recognition of nascent membrane proteins occurs by virtue of a hydrophobic signal-anchor sequence (SAS) contained in the nascent chain, usually at the N terminus. Here we use fluorescence-based stopped-flow to monitor SRP-ribosome interactions with actively translating ribosomes while an SRP substrate is synthesized and emerges from the peptide exit tunnel. The kinetic analysis reveals that, at cellular concentrations of ribosomes and SRP, SRP rapidly binds to translating ribosomes prior to the emergence of an SAS and forms an initial complex that rapidly rearranges to a more stable engaged complex. When the growing peptide reaches a length of ∼50 amino acids and the SAS is partially exposed, SRP undergoes another conformational change which further stabilizes the complex and initiates targeting of the translating ribosome to the translocon. These results provide a reconciled view on the timing of high-affinity targeting complex formation, while emphasizing the existence of preceding SRP recruitment steps under conditions of ongoing translation.

Project description:Recently, nanopore sequencing has come to the fore as library preparation is rapid and simple, sequencing can be done almost anywhere, and longer reads are obtained than with next-generation sequencing. The main bottleneck still lies in data postprocessing which consists of basecalling, genome assembly, and localizing significant sequences, which is time consuming and computationally demanding, thus prolonging delivery of crucial results for clinical practice. Here, we present a neural network-based method capable of detecting and classifying specific genomic regions already in raw nanopore signals-squiggles. Therefore, the basecalling process can be omitted entirely as the raw signals of significant genes, or intergenic regions can be directly analyzed, or if the nucleotide sequences are required, the identified squiggles can be basecalled, preferably to others. The proposed neural network could be included directly in the sequencing run, allowing real-time squiggle processing.

Project description:Shotgun metagenomic sequencing (SMg) enables the simultaneous detection and characterization of viruses in human, animal and environmental samples. However, lack of sensitivity still poses a challenge and may lead to poor detection and data acquisition for detailed analysis. To improve sensitivity, we assessed a broad scope targeted sequence capture (TSC) panel (ViroCap) in both human and animal samples. Moreover, we adjusted TSC for the Oxford Nanopore MinION and compared the performance to an SMg approach. TSC on the Illumina NextSeq served as the gold standard. Overall, TSC increased the viral read count significantly in challenging human samples, with the highest genome coverage achieved using the TSC on the MinION. TSC also improved the genome coverage and sequencing depth in clinically relevant viruses in the animal samples, such as influenza A virus. However, SMg was shown to be adequate for characterizing a highly diverse animal virome. TSC on the MinION was comparable to the NextSeq and can provide a valuable alternative, offering longer reads, portability and lower initial cost. Developing new viral enrichment approaches to detect and characterize significant human and animal viruses is essential for the One Health Initiative.

Project description:The accuracy of Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) sequencing has significantly improved thanks to new flowcells, sequencing kits, and basecalling algorithms. However, novel modification types untrained in the basecalling models can seriously reduce the quality. Here we reports a set of ONT-sequenced genomes with unexpected low quality due to novel modification types. Demodification by whole-genome amplification significantly improved the quality but lost the epigenome. We also developed a reference-based method, Modpolish, for correcting modification-mediated errors while retaining the epigenome when a sufficient number of closely-related genomes is publicly available (default: top 20 genomes with at least 95% identity). Modpolish not only significantly improved the quality of in-house sequenced genomes but also public datasets sequenced by R9.4 and R10.4 (simplex). Our results suggested that novel modifications are prone to ONT systematic errors. Nevertheless, these errors are correctable by nucleotide demodification or Modpolish without prior knowledge of modifications.

Project description:Droplet-based single-cell sequencing techniques have provided unprecedented insight into cellular heterogeneities within tissues. However, these approaches only allow for the measurement of the distal parts of a transcript following short-read sequencing. Therefore, splicing and sequence diversity information is lost for the majority of the transcript. The application of long-read Nanopore sequencing to droplet-based methods is challenging because of the low base-calling accuracy currently associated with Nanopore sequencing. Although several approaches that use additional short-read sequencing to error-correct the barcode and UMI sequences have been developed, these techniques are limited by the requirement to sequence a library using both short- and long-read sequencing. Here we introduce a novel approach termed single-cell Barcode UMI Correction sequencing (scBUC-seq) to efficiently error-correct barcode and UMI oligonucleotide sequences synthesized by using blocks of dimeric nucleotides. The method can be applied to correct both short-read and long-read sequencing, thereby allowing users to recover more reads per cell that permits direct single-cell Nanopore sequencing for the first time. We illustrate our method by using species-mixing experiments to evaluate barcode assignment accuracy and multiple myeloma cell lines to evaluate differential isoform usage and Ewing’s sarcoma cells to demonstrate Ig fusion transcript analysis.

Project description:Nanopore sequencing is regarded as one of the most promising third-generation sequencing (TGS) technologies. Since 2014, Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) has developed a series of devices based on nanopore sequencing to produce very long reads, with an expected impact on genomics. However, the nanopore sequencing reads are susceptible to a fairly high error rate owing to the difficulty in identifying the DNA bases from the complex electrical signals. Although several basecalling tools have been developed for nanopore sequencing over the past years, it is still challenging to correct the sequences after applying the basecalling procedure. In this study, we developed an open-source DNA basecalling reviser, NanoReviser, based on a deep learning algorithm to correct the basecalling errors introduced by current basecallers provided by default. In our module, we re-segmented the raw electrical signals based on the basecalled sequences provided by the default basecallers. By employing convolution neural networks (CNNs) and bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) networks, we took advantage of the information from the raw electrical signals and the basecalled sequences from the basecallers. Our results showed NanoReviser, as a post-basecalling reviser, significantly improving the basecalling quality. After being trained on standard ONT sequencing reads from public E. coli and human NA12878 datasets, NanoReviser reduced the sequencing error rate by over 5% for both the E. coli dataset and the human dataset. The performance of NanoReviser was found to be better than those of all current basecalling tools. Furthermore, we analyzed the modified bases of the E. coli dataset and added the methylation information to train our module. With the methylation annotation, NanoReviser reduced the error rate by 7% for the E. coli dataset and specifically reduced the error rate by over 10% for the regions of the sequence rich in methylated bases. To the best of our knowledge, NanoReviser is the first post-processing tool after basecalling to accurately correct the nanopore sequences without the time-consuming procedure of building the consensus sequence. The NanoReviser package is freely available at https://github.com/pkubioinformatics/NanoReviser.

Project description:Peptide ion mobility adds an extra dimension of separation to mass spectrometry-based proteomics. The ability to accurately pre-dict peptide ion mobility would be useful to expedite assay development and to discriminate true answers in database search. There are methods to accurately predict peptide ion mobility through drift tube devices, but methods to predict mobility through high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility (FAIMS) are underexplored. Here, we successfully model peptide ions’ FAIMS mobility using a multi-label multi-output classification scheme to account for non-normal transmission distributions. We trained two models from over 100,000 human peptide precursors: a random forest and a long-term short-term memory (LSTM) neural network. Both models had different strengths, and the ensemble average of model predictions produced higher F2 score than either model alone. Finally, we explore cases where the models make mistakes, and demonstrate predictive performance of F2=0.66 (AUROC=0.928) on a new test dataset of nearly 40,000 different E. coli peptide ions.
