Long-read transcriptomic sequencing of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasite reveals isoforms with alternative 5′ ends

ABSTRACT: The Plasmodium falciparum human malaria parasite genome is incompletely annotated and does not accurately represent the transcriptomic diversity of this species. To address this need, we performed long-read transcriptomic sequencing. To increase representation of mRNA isoforms expressed during intraerythrocytic stages, RNA was extracted from samples taken at time-points from synchronized cultures. 5 capped mRNA was enriched and converted to cDNA library. The cDNA libraries were sequenced on Nanopore and PacBio long-read platforms. Candidate non-redundant isoforms were annotated from each library dataset for creating a new transcript annotation catalog. Isoforms with alternative 5 ends represented the largest class of novel isoforms, although the majority of these do not seem to represent the products of alternative transcription initiation events. We suggest that most isoforms do not encode protein isoforms and instead represent RNA decay products.

Alternative splicing isoforms in patient-derived hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Project description:The aim of this study was to obtain a landscape of alternative splicing (AS) in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We applied hybrid sequencing by integrating Pacbio long-read and Illumina short-read RNA sequencing data from 8 patient-derived HCC cell lines, and used an immortalized hepatocyte cell line as reference. This study revealed features of annotated and novel splice variants in HCC cells, including transcript length, AS type and protein changes. We also identified novel isoforms and tumor specific isoforms, which may represent potential biomarkers and targets for therapeutic development.

The dynamic landscape of fission yeast meiosis alternative-splice isoforms

Project description:Alternative splicing increases the diversity of transcriptomes and proteomes in metazoans. The extent to which alternative splicing is active and functional in unicellular organisms is less understood. Here we exploit a single-molecule long-read sequencing technique and develop a computational tool, SpliceHunter, to characterize the transcriptome in the meiosis of fission yeast. We reveal 17017 alternative splicing events in 19741 novel isoforms at different stages of meiosis, including antisense and read-through transcripts. Intron retention is the major type of alternative splicing, followed by “alternate intron in exon”. 887 novel transcription units are detected; 60 of the predicted proteins show homology in other species and form theoretical stable structures. We compare the dynamics of novel isoforms based on the number of supporting full-length reads with those of annotated isoforms and explore the translational capacity and quality of novel isoforms. The evaluation of these factors indicates that the majority of novel isoforms are unlikely to be both condition-specific and translatable but the possibility of functional novel isoforms is not excluded. Together, this study highlights the diversity and dynamics at the isoform level in the sexual development of fission yeast.

Extension of 5’ and 3’ ends of human lncRNA transcripts by RACE-coupled long-read high-throughput sequencing (RACE-seq)

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) constitute a large fraction of mammalian transcriptomes that still remains unexplored, mainly due to the lack of comprehensive, high-quality lncRNA annotation that limits the possibility to fully explore their functional capacity. We have developed RACE-seq, an experimental workflow based on RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends) and long read RNA sequencing, aimed at both rare isoform discovery and better definition of gene boundaries. We applied 3â and 5â RACE-seq on 398 low-expressed GENCODE v7 lncRNA genes in seven human tissues (brain, testis, heart, kidney, liver, lung and spleen). The sequences obtained led to the discovery of 2,641 on-target, previously unknown alternative transcripts. Novel isoforms extended 60% of the 398 targeted lncRNA loci further in either 5' or 3', and often reached genome hallmarks typical of gene boundaries. In parallel, we used nested RACE-seq, and confirmed that nested RACE-seq has overwhelmingly better sensitivity than its standard counterpart.

A technology-agnostic long-read analysis pipeline for transcriptome discovery and quantification

Project description:Alternative splicing is widely acknowledged to be a crucial regulator of gene expression and is a key contributor to both normal developmental processes and disease states. While cost-effective and accurate for quantification, short-read RNA-seq lacks the ability to resolve full-length transcript isoforms despite increasingly sophisticated computational methods. Long-read sequencing platforms such as Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore (ONT) bypass the transcript reconstruction challenges of short-reads. Here we describe TALON, the ENCODE4 pipeline for analyzing PacBio cDNA and ONT direct-RNA transcriptomes. We apply TALON to three human ENCODE Tier 1 cell lines and show that while both technologies perform well at full-transcript discovery and quantification, each one displayed distinct artifacts. We further apply TALON to mouse cortical and hippocampal transcriptomes and find that a substantial proportion of neuronal genes have more reads associated with novel isoforms than with annotated ones. These data show that TALON is a technology-agnostic long-read transcriptome discovery and quantification pipeline capable of tracking both known and novel transcript models, as well as their expression levels, across datasets for both simple studies and in larger projects. These properties will enable TALON users to move beyond the limitations of short-read data to perform isoform discovery and quantification in a uniform manner on existing and future long-read platforms.

Truncated protein isoforms generate diversity of protein localization and function in yeast

Project description:Genome-wide measurements of ribosome occupancy on mRNA transcripts have enabled global empirical identification of translated regions. These approaches have revealed an unexpected diversity of protein products, but high-confidence identification of new coding regions that entirely overlap annotated coding regions – including those that encode truncated protein isoforms – has remained challenging. Here, we develop a sensitive and robust algorithm focused on identifying N-terminally truncated proteins genome-wide, identifying 388 truncated protein isoforms, a more than 30-fold increase in the number known in budding yeast. We perform extensive experimental validation of these truncated proteins and define two general classes. The first set lack large portions of the annotated protein sequence and tend to be produced from a truncated transcript. We show two such cases, Yap5truncation and Pus1truncation, to have condition-specific regulation and functions that appear distinct from their respective annotated isoforms. The second set of N-terminally truncated proteins lack only a small region of the annotated protein and are less likely to be regulated by an alternative transcript isoform. Many localize to different subcellular compartments than their annotated counterpart, representing a common strategy for achieving dual localization of otherwise functionally identical proteins.

Analysis and design of RNA sequencing experiments for identifying mRNA isoform regulation

Project description:Through alternative splicing, most human genes express multiple isoforms that may have distinct or even antagonistic functions. To infer isoform regulation based on data from high-throughput sequencing of cDNA fragments (RNA-Seq), we have developed MISO, a computational model that estimates the expression level of alternatively spliced exons and mRNA isoforms and provides intuitive measures of conﬁdence in these estimates. Incorporation of the length distribution of inserted cDNA fragments in paired-end RNA-Seq analysis in MISO enables dramatic improvements in estimation of alternative splicing levels relative to previous methods. We show that one lane of paired-end RNA-Seq data can provide far more information about splicing than two lanes of single-end data, depending critically on properties of the distribution of cDNA fragment lengths in the sequenced library. MISO also leads to an intuitive method to detect diﬀerentially regulated exons or isoforms. Application of this method implicates the RNA splicing factor hnRNP H in regulation of alternative cleavage and polyadenylation, a role that is supported by UV crosslinking/immunoprecipitation/high-throughput sequencing (CLIP-Seq) analysis. Together, our results provide a probabilistic framework for RNA-Seq analysis, derive functional insights into pre-mRNA processing, and yield guidelines for the optimal design of RNA-Seq experiments for studies of gene and isoform expression.

Fire ant adult vs brood comparison for microarray quality control

Project description:Ants display a range of fascinating behaviors, a remarkable level of intra-species phenotypic plasticity and many other interesting characteristics. Here we present a new tool to study the molecular mechanisms underlying these traits: a tentatively annotated expressed sequence tag (EST) resource for the fire ant Solenopsis invicta. From a normalized cDNA library we obtained 21,715 ESTs, which represent 11,864 putatively different transcripts with very diverse molecular functions. All ESTs were used to construct a cDNA microarray. We compared mixed adults to mixed brood to test the quality of the microarrays. Keywords: microarray quality control
