Project description:Microarray-based enrichment of selected genomic loci is a powerful method for genome complexity reduction. Since the vast majority of exons in vertebrate genomes are smaller than 150 nt, we have explored the use of short fragment libraries (85-110bp) to achieve higher enrichment specificity by reducing carryover and adverse effects of flanking intronic sequences. These short fragment libraries were enriched for 1.69 Mb of exonic sequences, using custom 244K microarrays, and sequenced using AB/SOLiD. High enrichment specificity (60 M-bM-^@M-^S 75%) was obtained at 67-213x average coverage, with 77-92% and 90-98% of targeted regions covered with more than 25% and 10% of the average coverage, respectively. As a more appropriate measure of the evenness of coverage, which is relatively independent of sequencing depth, we introduce the evenness of coverage parameter E. E values up to 75% were achieved. To verify the accuracy of SNP/mutation detection we evaluated 384 known non-reference SNPs in the targeted regions. At ~ 200x average sequence coverage, we were able to survey 96.4% of 1.69 Mb of genomic sequence with only 4.2% false negative calls while 3.6% of targeted regions were marked as unsurveyed. A total of 1197 new variants were detected. Verification revealed only 8 false positive calls, resulting in an overall false positive rate of less than 1 per ~200,000 bp (0.0005%, equivalent to an overall phred score of 55). 4 samples + capture design file

Project description:Single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) has revolutionized our understanding of cell types and states in various contexts, such as development and disease. Most methodology relies on poly(A) enrichment to selectively capture protein-coding polyadenylated transcripts, intending to exclude ribosomal transcripts that constitute >80% of the transcriptome. However, it is common for ribosomal transcripts to sneak into the library, which can add significant background by flooding libraries with irrelevant sequences. The challenge of amplifying all RNA transcripts from a single cell has motivated the development of new technologies to optimize retrieval of transcripts of interest. This problem is notable in planarians, where we find that 16S ribosomal transcripts were widely enriched (20-80%) across single-cell methods. Therefore, we adapted the Depletion of Abundant Sequences by Hybridization (DASH) to the standard 10X scRNA-seq protocol. We designed single-guide RNAs tiling the 16S sequence for CRISPR-mediated degradation, and subsequently generated untreated and DASH-treated datasets from the same libraries to enable a side-by-side comparison of the effects of DASH. DASH specifically removes 16S sequences without off-target removal of other genes. By assessing the cell barcodes shared by both libraries, DASH-treated cells have consistently higher complexity given the same amount of reads, which allows the detection of a rare cell cluster and more differentially expressed genes. In conclusion, DASH can be easily integrated into existing sequencing protocols and customized to deplete any unwanted transcripts.

Project description:A major challenge for RNA-seq analysis of gene expression is to achieve sufficient coverage of informative non-ribosomal transcripts. In eukaryotic samples, this is typically achieved by selective oligo(dT)-priming of messenger RNAs to exclude ribosomal RNA (rRNA) during cDNA synthesis. However, this strategy is not compatible with prokaryotes in which functional transcripts are generally not polyadenylated. To overcome this, we adopted DASH (Depletion of Abundant Sequences by Hybridization), initially developed for eukaryotic cells, to improve both the sensitivity and depth of bacterial RNA-seq. DASH employs the Cas9 nuclease to remove unwanted cDNA sequences prior to library amplification. We report the design, evaluation, and optimization of DASH experiments for standard bacterial short-read sequencing approaches, including software for automated guide RNA (gRNA) design for Cas9-mediated cleavage in bacterial rDNA sequences. Using these gRNA pools, we effectively removed rRNA reads (56-86%) in RNA-seq libraries from two different model bacteria, the Gram-negative pathogen Salmonella enterica and the anaerobic gut commensal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. DASH works robustly, even with sub-nanogram amounts of input cDNA. Its efficiency, high sensitivity, ease of implementation, and low cost (~$5 per sample) render DASH an attractive alternative to rRNA removal protocols, in particular for material-constrained studies where conventional ribodepletion techniques fail.

Project description:Drosophila Piwi-family proteins have been implicated in transposon control. Here, we examine piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) associated with each Drosophila Piwi protein and find that Piwi and Aubergine bind RNAs that are predominantly antisense to transposons, whereas Ago3 complexes contain predominantly sense piRNAs. As in mammals, the majority of Drosophila piRNAs are derived from discrete genomic loci. These loci comprise mainly defective transposon sequences, and some have previously been identified as master regulators of transposon activity. Our data suggest that heterochromatic piRNA loci interact with potentially active, euchromatic transposons to form an adaptive system for transposon control. Complementary relationships between sense and antisense piRNA populations suggest an amplification loop wherein each piRNA-directed cleavage event generates the 5’ end of a new piRNA. Thus, sense piRNAs, formed following cleavage of transposon mRNAs, may enhance production of antisense piRNAs, complementary to active elements, by directing cleavage of transcripts from master control loci. Keywords: small RNA libraries from Drosophila ovaries small RNAs (23-29nt) were isolated from total ovarian RNA or from immunopreciptated Piwi/Aubergine/Ago3 complexes. cDNA libraries were constructed after Pfeffer et al. 2005 (Nat. Methods) and sequenced at 454 Life Sciences. The used strain is OregonR. Only sequences matching the Release5 genome assembly (www.fruitfly.org) are considered.

Project description:We report the genomic sequences bound by the C2H2 transcription factors BLUEJAY and JACKDAW as profiled by chromating immunoprecipitation experiments followed by Illumina high sequencing. Plants were carrying constructs of proteins (translational) fusions of these transcription factors to the yellow fluorescent protein. Gene fusions were expressed under all their genomic regulatory regions using recombineering. The recombineering technique was used to recombine the fluorecent protein at the 3' end of their genomic regions in a JATY clone carrying these genes. Subsequently the JATY clones carrying these translational fusions were introgressed into plants. We performed ChIP on roots grown under standard conditions and fixed with formaldehyde in PBS-EDTA. Sequences bound by BLUEJAY and JACKDAW were immunoprecipitated with a-GFP AbCam290 at 4 °C overnight. Biological replicate samples were make into libraries of ~100 bp insert size and 50 bp of single ends sequenced through Illumina High Sequencing.

Project description:A decade since its invention, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has become a mainstay technology for profiling transcriptional heterogeneity in individual cells. Yet, most existing scRNA-seq methods capture only polyadenylated mRNA to avoid expending resources on profiling the types of transcripts that are usually not-of-interest, such as ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Hence, protocols that enable analysis of the whole transcriptome remain scarce. We adapted a method called DASH (Depletion of Abundant Sequences by Hybridisation) for rRNA depletion from single-cell total RNA-seq libraries. Our analyses show that with our single-cell DASH (scDASH), rRNAs are effectively depleted with minimal non-specificity. Importantly, the rest of the transcriptome is significantly enriched for detection as a result of liberated sequencing quota from depleted rRNA.
