Digital RNA Sequencing Minimizes Sequence-Dependent Bias and Amplification Noise with Optimized Single Molecule Barcodes

Project description:RNA-Seq is a powerful tool for transcriptome profiling, but is hampered by sequence-dependent bias and inaccuracy at low copy numbers intrinsic to exponential PCR amplification. We developed a simple strategy for mitigating these complications, allowing truly digital RNA-Seq. Following reverse transcription, a large set of barcode sequences is added in excess, and nearly every cDNA molecule is uniquely labeled by random attachment of barcode sequences to both ends. After PCR, we applied paired-end deep sequencing to read the two barcodes and cDNA sequences. Rather than counting the number of reads, RNA abundance is measured based on the number of unique barcode sequences observed for a given cDNA sequence. We optimized the barcodes to be unambiguously identifiable even in the presence of multiple sequencing errors. This method allows counting with single copy resolution despite sequence-dependent bias and PCR amplification noise, and is analogous to digital PCR but amendable to quantifying a whole transcriptome. We demonstrated transcriptome profiling of E. coli with more accurate and reproducible quantification than conventional RNA-Seq.

Counting and correcting errors within unique molecular identifiers to generate absolute numbers of sequencing molecules [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMIs) are random oligonucleotide barcodes sequences? that are critical for the removal of PCR amplification biases within both bulk and single-cell sequencing experiments. However, the impact that PCR and sequencing errors have on the accuracy of generating absolute counts of RNA molecules is underappreciated. We demonstrate that PCR errors and not sequencing errors are the main source of inaccuracy in sequencing data and that the use of UMIs synthesized with homotrimeric nucleoside building blocks provides a solution to pinpoint and remove errors, allowing absolute counting of sequenced molecules.
