Project description:Background Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) experiments typically analyze hundreds or thousands of cells after amplification of the cDNA. The high throughput is made possible by the early introduction of sample-specific bar codes (BCs), and the amplification bias is alleviated by unique molecular identifiers (UMIs). Thus, the ideal analysis pipeline for scRNA-seq data needs to efficiently tabulate reads according to both BC and UMI. Findings zUMIs is a pipeline that can handle both known and random BCs and also efficiently collapse UMIs, either just for exon mapping reads or for both exon and intron mapping reads. If BC annotation is missing, zUMIs can accurately detect intact cells from the distribution of sequencing reads. Another unique feature of zUMIs is the adaptive downsampling function that facilitates dealing with hugely varying library sizes but also allows the user to evaluate whether the library has been sequenced to saturation. To illustrate the utility of zUMIs, we analyzed a single-nucleus RNA-seq dataset and show that more than 35% of all reads map to introns. Also, we show that these intronic reads are informative about expression levels, significantly increasing the number of detected genes and improving the cluster resolution. Conclusions zUMIs flexibility makes if possible to accommodate data generated with any of the major scRNA-seq protocols that use BCs and UMIs and is the most feature-rich, fast, and user-friendly pipeline to process such scRNA-seq data.

Project description:Pseudouridine (Ψ) is an abundant RNA modification that is present in and impacts the functions of diverse non-coding RNA species, including rRNA, tRNA, snRNA, etc. Pseudouridine also exists in mammalian mRNA and likely exhibits functional roles; however, functional investigations of pseudouridine in mammalian mRNA have been hampered by the lack of a quantitative method that detects Ψ at base precision. We have recently developed Bisulfite-Induced Deletion sequencing (BID-seq), which provides the community with a quantitative method to map RNA Ψ distribution transcriptome-wide at single-base resolution. Here, we describe an optimized BID-seq protocol to generate highly reproducible results, displaying nearly zero background deletions at unmodified uridines after bisulfite treatment and uncovering 8,407 Ψ sites starting from as little as 10 ng mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) polyA+ RNA, with the steps that are fast in both library preparation and data analysis. This optimized BID-seq workflow takes 5 days to complete and includes four main sections: RNA preparation, library construction, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and data analysis. The library construction can be completed by researchers who have basic knowledge and skills in molecular biology and genetics. In addition to the experimental protocol, we provide BID-pipe (https://github.com/y9c/pseudoU-BIDseq), a user-friendly data analysis pipeline for BID-seq, requiring only basic bioinformatic and computational skills to uncover Ψ signatures from NGS data.
