FLYNC: A Machine Learning-Driven Framework for Discovering Long Non-Coding RNAs in Drosophila melanogaster

ABSTRACT: Non-coding RNAs have increasingly recognized roles in critical molecular mechanisms of disease. However, the non-coding genome of Drosophila melanogaster, one of the most powerful disease model organisms, has been understudied. Here, we present FLYNC – FLY Non-Coding RNA discovery and classification – a novel machine learning model that predicts the probability of a newly identified RNA transcript being a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). Integrated into an end-to-end bioinformatics pipeline capable of processing single-cell or bulk RNA sequencing data, FLYNC outputs potential new non-coding RNA genes. FLYNC leverages large-scale genomic and transcriptomic datasets to identify patterns and features that distinguish non-coding genes from protein-coding genes, thereby facilitating lncRNA prediction. We demonstrate the application of FLYNC to publicly available Drosophila adult head bulk transcriptome and single-cell transcriptomic data from Drosophila neural stem cell lineages and identify several novel tissue- and cell-specific lncRNAs. We have further experimentally validated the existence of a set of FLYNC predicted lncRNAs by RT-PCR and RNA PolII binding. Overall, our findings demonstrate that FLYNC serves as a robust tool for identifying lncRNAs in Drosophila melanogaster, transcending current limitations in ncRNA identification and harnessing the potential of machine learning.

LncReader: identification of dual functional long non-coding RNAs using multi-head self-attention mechanism

Project description:The dual functional lncRNAs have been intensively studied and identified to be involved in various fundamental cellular processes recently. It is essential to understand in which context when a dual functional lncRNA serves as a non-coding RNA or a template for coding peptide, particularly in some pathological conditions. However, apart from time consuming and cell type specific experiments, there is virtually no in-silico method for predicting the identity of dual functional lncRNAs. Here, we developed a deep-learning model with multi-head self-attention mechanism, LncReader, to identify dual functional lncRNAs based on their sequence, physicochemical and secondary structural features. Our data demonstrated that LncReader showed multiple advantage compared to various classical machine learning methods. Moreover, to obtain independent in-house datasets for robust testing, mass spectrometry proteomics combined with RNA-seq were applied in four leukemia cell lines. Remarkably, LncReader achieved the best performance among all these datasets. Therefore, LncReader provides a sophisticated and practical tool that enables fast dual functional lncRNAs identification.

CRISPR-assisted RNA-protein interaction detection (CARPID) combined with quantitative mass spectrometry was used to identify proteins interacting with the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Taurine Up-regulated 1 (TUG1) in HEK293T cells under physiological conditions and after Camptothecin (CPT) treatment.

Project description:This project utilized CRISPR-assisted RNA-protein interaction detection (CARPID) combined with mass spectrometry to identify proteins interacting with the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) TUG1 in HEK293T cells. TUG1 preferentially interacts with known R-loop-associated proteins, particularly under Camptothecin (CPT) treatment. Additionally, we identified interacting proteins for the lncRNAs MALAT1 to validate the binding specificity of TUG1.

Deshpande2019 - Random Forest model to predict long non-coding RNAs from coding RNAs in Zea Mays plant transcriptomic data

Project description:This is a Random Forest algorithm-based machine learning model to predict lncRNAs from coding mRNAs in plant transcriptomic data. The model assigns 1 for coding sequences and 2 for long non-coding sequences. The prediction is performed using a combination of Open Reading Frame (ORF) based, Sequence-based and Codon-bias features. Users need to download the curated ONNX model and also need to convert the sequences into feature matrix as mentioned in PLIT paper (Deshpande et al. 2019) to make predictions on sequences from Zea Mays sequence data.

Comprehensive Identification of Soybean Long Non-coding RNAs Reveals a Subset of Small Peptide-Coding Transcripts

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are defined as non-protein-coding transcripts that are at least 200 nucleotides long. They are known to play pivotal roles in regulating gene expression, especially during stress responses in plants. We used a large collection of in-house transcriptome data from various soybean (Glycine max and Glycine soja) tissues treated under different conditions to perform a comprehensive identification of soybean lncRNAs. We also retrieved publicly available soybean transcriptome data that were of sufficient quality and sequencing depth to enrich our analysis. In total, RNA-seq data of 332 samples were used for this analysis. An integrated reference-based, de novo transcript assembly was developed that identified ~69,000 lncRNA gene loci. We showed that lncRNAs are distinct from both protein-coding transcripts and genomic background noise in terms of length, number of exons, transposable element composition, and sequence conservation level across legume species. The tissue-specific and time-specific transcriptional responses of the lncRNA genes under some stress conditions may suggest their biological relevance. The transcription start sites of lncRNA gene loci tend to be close to their nearest protein-coding genes, and they may be transcriptionally related to the protein-coding genes, particularly for antisense and intronic lncRNAs. A previously unreported subset of small peptide-coding transcripts was identified from these lncRNA loci via tandem mass spectrometry, which paved the way for investigating their functional roles. Our results also highlight the current inadequacy of the bioinformatic definition of lncRNA, which excludes those lncRNA gene loci with small open reading frames (ORFs) from being regarded as protein-coding.

Translation and Natural Selection of long non-canonical RNA micropeptides

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides but lacking canonical coding sequences. Apparently unable to produce peptides, lncRNA function seems to only involve RNA sequence and structure. Here, we exhaustively detect in-vivo translation of small open reading frames (small ORFs) within lncRNAs using Ribosomal profiling during Drosophila melanogaster embryogenesis. We show that around 30% of lncRNAs contain small ORFs engaged by ribosomes, leading to regulated translation of 100 to 300 micropeptides. We identify lncRNA features that favour translation, such as cistronicity, Kozak sequences, and conservation. For this latter, we develop a bioinformatics pipeline to detect small ORF homologues, and we reveal evidence of natural selection favouring the conservation of micropeptide sequence and function across evolution. Our results expand the repertoire of lncRNA functions, and suggest that lncRNAs give rise to novel coding genes throughout evolution. Since most lncRNAs contain small ORFs with as yet unknown translation potential, we propose to rename them “long non-canonical RNAs”.

Custom long non-coding RNA capture enhances detection sensitivity in different human sample types.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a heterogeneous group of transcripts that lack protein coding potential and display regulatory functions in various cellular processes. As a result of their cell- and cancer-specific expression patterns, lncRNAs have emerged as potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets. The accurate characterization of lncRNAs in bulk transcriptome data remains challenging due to their low abundance compared to protein coding genes. To tackle this issue, we describe a unique short-read custom lncRNA capture sequencing approach that relies on a comprehensive set of 565,878 capture probes for 49,372 human lncRNA genes. This custom lncRNA capture approach was evaluated on various sample types ranging from artificial high-quality RNA mixtures to more challenging formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue and biofluid material. The custom enrichment approach allows the detection of a more diverse repertoire of lncRNAs, with better reproducibility and higher coverage compared to classic total RNA-sequencing.

Genome-wide identification of long noncoding RNA and their potential interactors in ISWI mutants

Project description:Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) refers to non-coding RNA transcripts with a length of more than 200 nt. They regulate the expression level of target genes. However, the role of lncRNA in chromatin remodeling needs to be further explored. In this study, we used ISWI mutants (ISWI is a chromatin remodeling factor in Drosophila) to explore the function of lncRNA. Based on the transcriptome of ISWI mutant Drosophila, we analyzed the transcripts and conducted differential expression analysis. In ISWI mutants, the expression changes of lncRNAs were more significant. Our results provide a new perspective for understand the possible regulatory role of lncRNA in chromatin remodeling and identify possible lncRNA target genes in ISWI mutants.

Functional and molecular dissection of viral lncRNAs throughout HCMV life cycle

Project description:Small, compact genomes confer a selective advantage to viruses, yet human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) expresses the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) RNA1.2, RNA2.7, RNA4.9, and RNA5.0. These lncRNAs account for majority of the viral transcriptome, but their functions remain largely unknown. Here, we showed that HCMV lncRNAs, except for RNA5.0, are required throughout the entire viral life cycle. Deletion of each lncRNA resulted in a decrease in viral progeny during lytic replication and failing to efficiently establish latent reservoirs and reactivate. Nanopore direct RNA sequencing of native lncRNA molecules revealed that each lncRNA exhibited a dynamic modification landscape, depending on the state of infection. Global analysis of the lncRNA interactome identified 32, 11, and 89 host factors that specifically bind to RNA1.2, RNA2.7, and RNA4.9, respectively. Moreover, 52 proteins commonly bound to the three lncRNAs were identified, including 11 antiviral immunity-related proteins. Our molecular analyses found that three lncRNAs are modified with N⁶-methyladenosine (m6A) and interact with m6A readers in all infection states. In-depth functional analysis revealed that m6A–mediated lncRNA stabilization as the key mechanism by which lncRNAs are maintained at high levels. Our study lays the groundwork for understanding viral lncRNA–mediated regulation of host-virus interaction throughout the HCMV life cycle.
