Project description:miRTrace is a tool for quality control and tracing taxonomic origins of microRNA sequencing data. It operates in two modes: Trace mode, in which the software reports the composition of clade-specific miRNAs; and QC mode, in which it performed an all-round quality control. To validate the QC mode of the software, we subjected the in-house control samples from HEK-293T cells to various treatments, such as cross-species contamiantion with Drosophila S2 RNAs, sample dilution and RNase A digestion. These samples were processed using QC mode of miRTrace. We demonstrate that miRTrace accurately identities poor-quality samples and to some extent even the causes of the compromised quality.

Project description:Microarray technology provides a powerful tool for defining gene expression profiles of airway epithelium that lend insight into the pathogenesis of human airway disorders. The focus of this study was to establish rigorous quality control parameters to ensure that microarray assessment of the airway epithelium is not confounded by experimental artifact. Samples (total n=223) of trachea, large and small airway epithelium were collected by fiberoptic bronchoscopy of 144 individuals (42 healthy non-smokers, 49 healthy smokers, 11 symptomatic smokers, 22 smokers with lone emphysema with normal spirometry, and 20 smokers with COPD) were processed and hybridized to Affymetrix HG-U133 2.0 Plus microarrays. The pre- and post-chip quality control (QC) criteria established, included: (1) RNA quality, assessed by RNA Integrity Number (RIN) ≥7.0 using Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer software; (2) cRNA transcript integrity, assessed by signal intensity ratio of GAPDH 3' to 5' probe sets ≤3.0; and (3) the multi-chip normalization scaling factor ≤10.0 Of the 223 samples, 213 (95.5%) passed the QC criteria. In a data set of 34 arrays (10 samples failing QC criteria, 24 randomly chosen samples passing QC criteria), correlation coefficients for pairwise comparisons of expression levels for 100 housekeeping genes in which at least one array failed the QC criteria were significantly lower (average Pearson r = 0.90 ± 0.04) and more broadly dispersed than correlation coefficients for pairwise comparisons between any two arrays that passed the QC criteria (average Pearson r = 0.97 ± 0.01). By using the QC cutoff criteria, the inter-array variability, as assessed by the coefficient of variation in the expression levels for 100 housekeeping genes, was reduced from 35.7% to 21.7%. Based on the aberrant housekeeping gene data generated from samples failing the established QC criteria, we propose that the QC criteria outlined in this study can accurately distinguish high quality from low quality data and can be used to delete poor quality microarray samples before proceeding to higher-order biological analyses and interpretation.

Project description:This dataset reports the UPLC-QTof MS untargeted analysis of Vitis vinifera L. leaves, collected from Italy (Trentino) and Germany (Mecklenburg West-Pomerania), from two fungus-resistant grape varieties (PIWI), Regent and Phoenix. For each variety, 40 leaves were sampled from 10 plants (4 leaves/plant) in Italy, and other 40 with the same process in Germany. The leaves from each plant were homogenized and extracted separately, in the same day, under a randomized order. A quality control (QC) sample was prepared by pooling a small aliquot from each sample. </p> The aim of the project, was to use this sample/data set as an illustrative example for the use the pipeline MetaDB (https://github.com/rmylonas/MetaDB). MetaDB has been developed in order to combine, with a user-friendly web based, different bioinformatic tools used in metabolomics, which takes care a) metadata organization, b) creation of randomized sequences including QC sample, c) data quality evaluation, d) data storage organization, e) data analysis and f) submission to public repositories.

Project description:MicroRNA array data for 144 Mouse lung tissue RNA samples were processed, out of which, 139 passed the visual Quality Control (QC) and data QC. To determine potential signaling pathways involved with MWCNT-associated pathological changes in comparison to asbestos, we determined up- and down-regulated miRNA expression in lung tissue at 1 year post-exposure.

Project description:Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues have many advantages for identification of risk biomarkers, including wide availability and potential for extended follow-up endpoints. However, RNA derived from archival FFPE samples has limited quality. Here we identified parameters that determine which FFPE samples have the potential for successful RNA extraction, library preparation, and generation of usable RNAseq data. We optimized library preparation protocols designed for use with FFPE samples using seven FFPE and Fresh Frozen replicate pairs, and tested optimized protocols using a study set of 130 FFPE biopsies from women with benign breast disease. Metrics from RNA extraction and preparation procedures were collected and compared with bioinformatics sequencing summary statistics. Finally, a decision tree model was built to learn the relationship between pre-sequencing lab metrics and qc pass/fail status as determined by bioinformatics metrics.. Samples that failed bioinformatics qc tended to have low median sample-wise correlation within the cohort (Spearman correlation < 0.75), low number of reads mapped to gene regions (< 25 million), or low number of detectable genes (11,400 # of detected genes with TPM > 4). The median RNA concentration and pre-capture library Qubit values for qc failed samples were 18.9 ng/ul and 2.08 ng/ul respectively, which were significantly lower than those of qc pass samples (40.8 ng/ul and 5.82 ng/ul). We built a decision tree model based on input RNA concentration, input library qubit values, and achieved an F score of 0.848 in predicting QC status (pass/fail) of FFPE samples. We provide a bioinformatics quality control recommendation for FFPE samples from breast tissue by evaluating bioinformatic and sample metrics. Our results suggest a minimum concentration of 25 ng/ul FFPE-extracted RNA for library preparation and 1.7 ng/ul pre-capture library output to achieve adequate RNA-seq data for downstream bioinformatics analysis.

Project description:To open new ways for MALDI-MS-based patient screening, blood serum is the most preferred specimen because of its richness in patho-physiological information and due to ease of collection. To overcome deleterious freeze / thaw cycles and to reduce high costs for shipping and storage, we sought to develop a procedure which enables MALDI-MS protein profiling of blood serum proteins without the need for serum freezing. MALDI mass spectra from either (p)FFS or (p)DSS preparations showed on average 25 strong ion signals (mass range m/z 6000 to m/z 10,000) from intact serum proteins (apolipoproteins, complement proteins, transthyretin and hemoglobin) and from proteolytic processing products. Semi-quantitative analysis of three ion pairs: m/z 6433 and 6631, m/z 8205 and 8916, as well as m/z 9275 and 9422 indicated that the mass spectra from either (p)FFS or (p)DSS contained the same protein composition information. A workflow that avoids the conventional cold-chain and yet enables to investigate intact serum proteins and/or serum proteolysis products by MALDI-MS profiling was developed. The here described protocol tremendously broadens clinical application of MALDI-MS and simultaneously allows to reduce the costs for storage and shipping of serum samples.

Project description:Every laboratory performing mass spectrometry based proteomics strives to generate high quality data. Among the many factors that influence the outcome of any experiment in proteomics is performance of the LC-MS system, which should be monitored continuously. This process is termed quality control (QC). We present an easy to use, rapid tool, which produces a visual, HTML based report that includes the key parameters needed to monitor LC-MS system perfromance. The tool, named RawBeans, can generate a report for individual files, or for a set of samples from a whole experiment. We anticipate it will help proteomics users and experts evaluate raw data quality, independent of data processing. The tool is available here: https://bitbucket.org/incpm/prot-qc/downloads.
