Single-molecule long-read sequencing reveals a conserved intact long RNA profile in sperm

ABSTRACT: Sperm contributes diverse RNAs to the zygote. While sperm small RNAs have been shown to impact offspring phenotypes, our knowledge of the sperm transcriptome, especially the composition of long RNAs has been limited by the lack of sensitive, high-throughput experimental techniques that can distinguish intact RNAs from fragmented RNAs, known to abound in sperm. Here, we integrate single-molecule long-read sequencing with short-read sequencing to detect sperm intact RNAs (spiRNAs). We identify 3,440 spiRNA species in mice and 4,100 in humans. The spiRNA profile consists of both mRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, is evolutionarily conserved between mice and humans, and displays an enrichment in mRNAs encoding for ribosome. In sum, we characterize the landscape of intact long RNAs in sperm, paving the way for future studies on their biogenesis and functions. Our experimental and bioinformatics approaches can be applied to other tissues and organisms to detect intact transcripts.

Novel splicing and open reading frames revealed by long-read direct RNA sequencing of adenovirus transcripts

Project description:Adenovirus is a common human pathogen that relies on host cell processes for transcription and processing of viral RNA and protein production. Although adenoviral promoters, splice junctions, and cleavage and polyadenylation sites have been characterized using low-throughput biochemical techniques or short read cDNA-based sequencing, these technologies do not fully capture the complexity of the adenoviral transcriptome. By combining Illumina short-read and nanopore long-read direct RNA sequencing approaches, we mapped transcription start sites and cleavage and polyadenylation sites across the adenovirus genome. In addition to confirming the known canonical viral early and late RNA cassettes, our analysis of splice junctions within long RNA reads revealed an additional 35 novel viral transcripts. These RNAs include fourteen new splice junctions which lead to expression of canonical open reading frames (ORF), six novel ORF-containing transcripts, and fifteen transcripts encoding for messages that potentially alter protein functions through truncations or fusion of canonical ORFs. In addition, we also detect RNAs that bypass canonical cleavage sites and generate potential chimeric proteins by linking separate gene transcription units. Of these, an evolutionary conserved protein was detected containing the N-terminus of E4orf6 fused to the downstream DBP/E2A ORF. Loss of this novel protein, E4orf6/DBP, was associated with aberrant viral replication center morphology and poor viral spread. Our work highlights how long-read sequencing technologies can reveal further complexity within viral transcriptomes.

Determination of isoform-specific RNA structure with nanopore long reads

Project description:Current methods for determening RNA structure with short-read sequencing cannot capture most differences between distinct transcript isoforms. Here, we present RNA structure analysis using nanopore sequencing (PORE-cupine),which combines structure probing using chemical modifications with direct long-read RNA sequencing and machine learning to detect secondary structures in cellular RNAs. PORE-cupine also captures global structural features, such as RNA binding protein (RBP) binding sites and reactivity differences at single nucleotide variants (SNVs). We show that shared sequences in different transcript isoforms of the same gene can fold into different structures, highlighting the importance of long-read sequencing for obtaining phase information. We also demonstrate that structural differences between transcript isoforms of the same gene lead to differences in translation efficiency. By revealing isoform-specific RNA structure, PORE-cupine will deepen our understanding of the role of structures in controlling gene regulation.

Systematic Identification and Characterization of Long Non-coding RNAs in Mouse Mature Sperm

Project description:Increasingly, studies have shown that mature spermatozoa contain many transcripts including mRNAs and miRNAs. However, the expression profile of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in mammalian sperm has not been systematically investigated. Here, we used highly purified RNA to investigate lncRNA expression profiles in mouse mature sperm by stranded-specific RNA-seq. We identified 20907 known and 4088 novel lncRNAs transcripts, and the existence of intact lncRNAs was confirmed by RT-PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization on two representative lncRNAs. Compared with testes, 2873 upregulated and 6629 downregulated lncRNAs and 1237 upregulated and 2513 downregulated mRNAs were identified in sperm. Based on the “Cis and Trans” RNA-RNA interaction principle, we found 1793 targeted coding genes of differently expressed lncRNAs. In terms of GO analysis, differentially expressed lncRNAs targeted genes mainly related to nucleic acid metabolic, protein modification, chromatin and histone modification, sperm function, and spermatogenesis. In contrast, differentially expressed transcripts of mRNAs were highly enriched for nucleic acid metabolic, spermatogenesis, sperm function, and chromatin organization. Furthermore, KEGG pathway analysis showed that the differentially expressed lncRNAs were involved in mRNA surveillance and AMPK signaling pathways. Besides these two pathways, RNA transport splicesome was another pathway incorporated with the differentially expressed mRNA. In summary, this study provides a preliminary database valuable for identifying lncRNAs critical in the late stage of spermatogenesis or important for sperm function regulation.

High-throughput manual-quality annotation of full-length long noncoding RNAs with Capture Long-Read Sequencing (CLS)

Project description:Accurate annotations of genes and their transcripts is a foundation of genomics, but no annotation technique presently combines throughput and accuracy. As a result, the GENCODE reference collection of long noncoding RNAs remains far from complete: many are fragmentary, while thousands more remain uncatalogued. To accelerate lncRNA annotation, we have developed RNA Capture Long Seq (CLS), combining targeted RNA capture with third generation long-read sequencing. We present an experimental re-annotation of the entire GENCODE intergenic lncRNA populations in matched human and mouse tissues. CLS approximately doubles the complexity of targeted loci, both in terms of validated splice junctions and transcript models. Through its identification of full-length transcript models, CLS allows the first definitive measurement of promoter features, gene structure and protein-coding potential of lncRNAs. Thus CLS removes a longstanding bottleneck of transcriptome annotation, generating manual-quality full-length transcript models at high-throughput scales.

Long-TUC-seq is a robust method for quantification of metabolically labeled full-length isoforms

Project description:The steady state expression of each gene is the result of transcriptional rate, dynamic processing, and degradation of RNA. While regular RNA-seq methods only measure steady state expression levels, RNA-seq of metabolically labeled RNA identifies transcripts that were transcribed during the window of metabolic labeling. Whereas short-read RNA sequencing can identify metabolically labeled RNA at the gene level, long-read sequencing results in dramatically improved resolution of isoform-level transcription. Here we combine thiouridine-to-cytosine conversion (TUC) with PacBio long-read sequencing to study the dynamics of mRNA transcription in the GM12878 cell line. We show that using long-TUC-seq, we can detect metabolically labeled mRNA of distinct isoforms more reliably than using short reads. Long-TUC-seq holds the promise of capturing isoform dynamics robustly and without the need for enrichment.
