Project description:Massively parallel sequencing of maternal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is widely used to test fetal genetic abnormalities in non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). However, sequencing-based approaches are still of high cost. Building upon previous knowledge that placenta, the main source of fetal circulating DNA, is hypomethylated in comparison to maternal tissue counterparts of cfDNA, we propose that targeting either unmodified or 5-hydroxymethylated CG sites specifically enriches fetal genetic material and reduces numbers of required analytical sequencing reads thereby decreasing cost of a test.

Project description:The ability to perform complex bioassays in parallel enables experiments otherwise impossible due to throughput and cost constraints. By way of example, highly parallel chemical-genetic screens using pooled collections of thousands of defined Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene deletion strains are feasible because each strain is barcoded with unique DNA sequences. It is, however, time consuming and expensive to individually barcode individual strains. To provide a simple and general method of barcoding yeast collections, we built a set of donor strains, called Barcoders, with unique barcodes that can be systematically transferred to any S. cerevisiae collection. We applied this technology by generating a collection of barcoded DAmP (Decreased Abundance by mRNA Perturbation) loss-of-function strains comprising 87.1% of all essential yeast genes. This test collection validates both the Barcoders and the DAmP collection as useful tools for genome-wide chemical genetic assays.

Project description:Methylome-wide association studies (MWAS) are typically performed using microarray technologies that assay only a very small fraction of the CG methylome and entirely miss two forms of methylation that are common in brain and likely of particular relevance for neuroscience and psychiatric disorders. The alternative is the use whole genome bisulfite sequencing, but this approach is not yet practically feasible with the sample sizes required for adequate statistical power. We argue for revisiting methylation enrichment methods that, provided optimal protocols are used, enable comprehensive, adequately powered, and cost-effective genome-wide investigations of the methylome. To support our claim we use data showing that enrichment methods approximate the sensitivity obtained with the whole genome bisulfite methods with slightly better specificity. However, this performance is achieved at <5% of the reagent costs. Furthermore, because many more samples can be sequenced simultaneously, projects can be completed about 15 times faster. A potential drawback of our approach to assay CG methylation (the dominant form of methylation in the vast majority of somatic tissues). is the relatively large amount of genomic DNA (ideally >1 ug) required to obtain high quality data. Biomaterials are typically expensive to collect, provide a finite amount of DNA, and may simply not yield sufficient starting material. Thus, any possibility to use low amounts of DNA will increase the breadth and number of the studies that can be conducted. Therefore, we further adapted the enrichment step of the protocol. With this low starting material protocol, the assay performed generally equal well or better than the ample starting material protocol requiring >1 ug.

Project description:The discovery of the small regulatory RNA populations has changed our vision of cellular regulations. Indeed, loaded on Argonaute proteins they formed ribonucleoprotein complexes that target complementary sequences and achieved widespread silencing mechanisms conserved in most eukaryotes. The recent development of deep sequencing approaches highly contributed to their detection. Small RNA isolation form cells and/or tissues remains a crucial stage to generate robust and relevant sequencing data. In 2006, a novel strategy based on anion-exchange chromatography has been purposed as an alternative to the standard size-isolation purification procedure. However, the eventual biases of such a method have been poorly investigated. Moreover, this strategy not only relies on advanced technical skills and expensive material but is time consuming and requires an elevated starting biological material amount. Using bioinformatic comparative analysis of six independent small RNA-sequencing libraries of Drosophila ovaries, we here demonstrate that anion-exchange chromatography purification prior to small RNA extraction unbiasedly enriches datasets in bona fide reads (small regulatory RNA reads) and depletes endogenous contaminants (ribosomal RNAs and degradation products). The resulting increase of sequencing depth provides a major benefit to study rare populations. We then developed a fast and basic manual procedure to purify loaded small non coding RNAs using anion-exchange chromatography at the bench. We validated the efficiency of this new method and used this strategy to purify small RNAs from various tissues and organisms. We moreover determined that our manual purification increases the output of the previously described anion-exchange chromatography procedure.

Project description:RNA-Seq provides an effective way to annotate and measure the transcriptome, but the combination of cost, analysis and end-mapping challenges has limited its adoption for high-throughput quantitation and annotation. Here, we present an integrated experimental and computational suite for transcriptome annotation and quantitation based on the sequencing of mRNA ends. It consists of: a novel, simple, one-step, strategy 5' RNA-Seq; an optimized library construction method for strand-specific 3' RNA-seq that reduces costs and time; and a complete computational analysis toolkit. We demonstrate the power and versatility of our approach to study the transcriptome of LPS stimulation in mouse dendritic cells, promoter structure of the TCRb locus in mouse T cells, and gene expression in circadian cycles in Drosophila. Our platform provides a comprehensive solution for high-throughput, cost-effective transcriptome quantification and end annotation. A study of 5' and 3' end RNA sequencing methods

Project description:Aim of this study is to test if a reference channel of a different array can be used to make array CGH more sensitive, cost effective and less labor intensive. The BT474 breast cancer cell line was compared to a mix of normal reference DNAs hybridized on different arrays and days and DNA copy number profiles were evaluated. Quality was assessed, using regular dual channel array CGH as a standard, using four quality measures; i.e. the MAD (median absolute deviation) value of chromosome 2, an amplitude of the ErbB2 gene amplification, a deletion on chromosome 9 and a deflection on chromosome 8. In addition, the use of a reference channel of a different array was tested for genomic DNA derived from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissue samples. This so called across array CGH (aaCGH) analysis yielded slightly higher quality chromosomal copy number profiles when using the same dye compared to analysis using two different dyes, both when exchanging fluorescent signals of hybridizations performed on different arrays and on different days. This approach avoids redundant hybridizations of the same reference material in every experiment and allows hybridization of two test samples on one array. AaCGH analysis substantially reduces cost of consumables and labor while yielding at least equivalent quality as the dual channel procedure. Keywords: array CGH data, across array CGH analysis

Project description:Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next generation sequencing (ChIP-seq) is widely used to map histone marks and transcription factor binding throughout the genome. Here we present ChIPmentation, a method that combines ChIP with sequencing library preparation by Tn5 transposase (“tagmentation”). ChIPmentation introduces sequencing-compatible adapters in a single-step reaction directly on bead-bound chromatin, which reduces time, cost, and input requirements, making ChIPmentation a convenient and high-throughput alternative to existing ChIP-seq protocols.

Project description:Droplet microfluidic methods have massively increased the throughput of single-cell RNA sequencing campaigns. The benefit of scale-up is, however, accompanied by increased background noise when processing challenging samples as well as lower overall RNA capture efficiency. These drawbacks stem from the lack of strategies to enrich for high-quality material at the moment of cell encapsulation and the lack of implementable multi-step enzymatic processes that increase RNA capture. Here we alleviate both bottlenecks by deploying fluorescence-activated droplet sorting to enrich for droplets that contain single viable cells, intact nuclei or fixed cells and use reagent addition to droplets by picoinjection to perform multi-step lysis and reverse transcription. Our methodology increases gene detection rates fivefold, while reducing background noise by up to half, depending on sample quality. We harness these unique properties to deliver a high-quality molecular atlas of mouse brain development using highly damaged input material. Our method is broadly applicable to other droplet-based workflows to deliver sensitive and accurate single-cell profiling at a reduced cost.

Project description:Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is commonly used to isolate virus particles from culture medium. This project adapted and optimized the virus procedure for harvesting extracellular vesicles (of similar biophysical properties to viruses) from media. An 8% PEG solution harvested the purest vesicles. Followed by a wash step (ultracentrifugation of concentrated vesicles in saline), this method produced preparations comparable or superior to commonly used methods in terms of purity, abundance, and cost. It is also highly adaptable, allowing the procedure to be used for enriching vesicles from a variety of biological fluids. As proof of principle, extracellular vesicle protein was successfully harvested from HeLa cell medium using the described PEG-based harvest method and analyzed by mass spectrophotometry.
