ESPRESSO: Robust discovery and quantification of transcript isoforms from error-prone long-read RNA-seq data

ABSTRACT: Long-read RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) holds great potential for characterizing transcriptome variation and full-length transcript isoforms, but the relatively high error rate of current long-read sequencing platforms poses a major challenge. We present ESPRESSO, a computational tool for robust discovery and quantification of transcript isoforms from error-prone long reads. ESPRESSO jointly considers alignments of all long reads aligned to a gene and uses error profiles of individual reads to improve the identification of splice junctions and the discovery of their corresponding transcript isoforms. On both a synthetic spike-in RNA sample and human RNA samples, ESPRESSO outperforms multiple contemporary tools in not only transcript isoform discovery but also transcript isoform quantification. In total, we generated and analyzed ~1.1 billion nanopore RNA-seq reads covering 30 human tissue samples and three human cell lines. ESPRESSO and its companion dataset provide a useful resource for studying the RNA repertoire of eukaryotic transcriptomes.

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.

Mapping and modeling the genomic basis of differential RNA isoform expression at single-cell resolution with LR-Split-seq

Project description:The rise in throughput and quality of long-read sequencing should allow unambiguous identification of full-length transcript isoforms. However, its application to single-cell RNA-seq has been limited by throughput and expense. Here we develop and characterize long-read Split-seq (LR-Split-seq), which uses combinatorial barcoding to sequence single cells with long reads. Applied to the C2C12 myogenic system, LR-split-seq associates isoforms to cell types with relative economy and design flexibility. We find widespread evidence of changing isoform expression during differentiation including alternative transcription start sites (TSS) and/or alternative internal exon usage. LR-Split-seq provides an affordable method for identifying cluster-specific isoforms in single cells.

Nanopore sequencing unveils the complexity of the murine brown adipose tissue transcriptome: Illumina RNA-Seq of iBAT from cold treated mice [01_iBAT_illumina]

Project description:Alternative splicing contributes to transcriptomic complexity and plays a role in the regulation of cellular identity and function, but the correct assembly of transcripts of complex loci as well as their quantification based on short-read sequencing is non-trivial. Recent long-read sequencing methods such as those from ONT and PacBio overcome these problems by potentially sequencing full transcripts. The activation of brown adipose tissue e.g., by reduced ambient temperature (cold) exposure, positively affects metabolism by increasing energy expenditure and releasing endocrine factors and has been shown to involve specific alternative splicing events. Here we assessed important features of ONT long read sequencing protocols in relation to Illumina short read sequencing: (i) Alignment characteristics to the reference genome and transcriptome, (ii) Gene and transcript detection and quantification, (iii) Detection of differential gene and transcript expression events, (iv) Transcriptome reannotation and (v) Detection of differential transcript usage events. We find that ONT long-read sequencing is advantageous in terms of transcriptome reassembly, especially when the reads are enriched for full length reads. Illumina sequencing, due to the higher number of counts available, has a higher statistical power for calling differentiall expressed/used features, whereas long-read sequencing has a lower risk of calling false positive events due to the better ability to unambiguously map reads to transcripts. Finally we describe novel transcript isoforms in cold-activated murine iBAT reassembled from ONT long reads.
