Project description:Transposon insertion site sequencing (TIS) is a powerful method for associating genotype to phenotype. However, all TIS methods described to date use short nucleotide sequence reads which cannot uniquely determine the locations of transposon insertions within repeating genomic sequences where the repeat units are longer than the sequence read length. To overcome this limitation, we have developed a TIS method using Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology that generates and uses long nucleotide sequence reads; we have called this method LoRTIS (Long Read Transposon Insertion-site Sequencing). This experiment data contains sequence files generated using Nanopore and Illumina platforms. Biotin1308.fastq.gz and Biotin2508.fastq.gz are fastq files generated from nanopore technology. Rep1-Tn.fastq.gz and Rep1-Tn.fastq.gz are fastq files generated using Illumina platform. In this study, we have compared the efficiency of two methods in identification of transposon insertion sites.
Project description:In this experiment we wanted to see how the binding behavior of the S. Cerevisiae transcription factor Leu3, on of the main regulators of leucine biosynthesis, is affected by different availability of the branched chain amino acids. For this we grow the cells in shake flask under glucose limitation and treated them 2 hours before sampling. The cells were then cross-linked with formaldehyde and ChIP-seq was performed using the Oxford Nanopore MinIon.
Project description:Sequencing was performed to assess the ability of Nanopore direct cDNA and native RNA sequencing to characterise human transcriptomes. Total RNA was extracted from either HAP1 or HEK293 cells, and the polyA+ fraction isolated using oligodT dynabeads. Libraries were prepared using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) kits according to manufacturers instructions. Samples were then sequenced on ONT R9.4 flow cells to generate fast5 raw reads in the ONT MinKNOW software. Fast5 reads were then base-called using the ONT Albacore software to generate Fastq reads.
Project description:Higher-order chromatin structure arises from the combinatorial physical interactions of many genomic loci. To investigate this aspect of genome architecture we developed Pore-C, which couples chromatin conformation capture with Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) long reads to directly sequence multi-way chromatin contacts without amplification.
Project description:In this study, based on Nanopore direct RNA-seq where native RNAs are sequenced directly as near full-length transcripts in the 3' to 5' direction, transcription units of the phytopathogen Dickeya dadantii 3937 were validated and transcriptional termination sites were determined. Briefly, D. dadantii cultures were grown in M63 medium supplemented with 0.2% glucose and 0.2% PGA, until the early exponential phase (A600nm = 0.2, condition 1), or the early stationary phase (A600nm = 1.8, condition 2). RNAs were extracted using a frozen acid-phenol method, as previously described (Hommais et al. 2008), and treated successively with Roche and Biolabs DNases. Two samples were prepared: 50 µg of RNAs from each condition were pulled into one sample (sample 1), whereas the other one contained 100 µg of RNAs from condition 2 (sample 2). Both samples were then supplied to Vertis Biotechnologie AG for Nanopore native RNA-seq: total RNA preparations were first examined by capillary electrophoresis. For sample 1, ribosomal RNA molecules were depleted using an in-house developed protocol (recovery rate = 84%), whereas no ribodepletion was performed for sample 2. 3' ends of RNA were then poly(A)-tailed using poly(A) polymerase, and the Direct RNA sequencing kit (SQK-RNA002) was used to prepare the library for 1D sequencing on the Oxford Nanopore sequencing device. The direct RNA libraries were sequenced on a MinION device (MIN-101B) using standard settings. Basecalling of the fast5 files was performed using Guppy (version 3.6.1) with the following settings: --flowcell FLO-MIN106 --kit SQK-RNA002 --cpu_threads_per_caller 12--compress_fastq --reverse_sequence true --trim_strategy rna. Reads smaller than 50 nt were removed. 466 393 and 556 850 reads were generated for sample 1 and 2, respectively.
Project description:This dataset contains:
1) Raw FASTQ and BAM files for short reads. Here, DNA libraries were prepared using Nextera Rapid Capture Custom Enrichment kit (Illumina) and paired-end sequenced on a HiSeq2500 (Illumina).
2) Raw FASTQ and BAM files for long reads. Here, DNA libraries were prepared using 1D DNA ligation Sequencing Kit (SQK-LSK109, Oxford Nanopore) and single-end sequenced on a MinION device (Oxford Nanopore).
Project description:Healthy plants are vital for successful, long-duration missions in space, as they provide the crew with life support, food production, and psychological benefits. The microorganisms that associate with plant tissues play a critical role in improving plant growth, health, and production. To that end, it is necessary to develop methodologies that investigate the metabolic activities of the plant’s microbiome in orbit to enable rapid responses regarding the care of plants in space. In this study, we developed a protocol to characterize the endophytic and epiphytic microbial metatranscriptome of red romaine lettuce, a key salad crop that was grown under International Space Station (ISS)-like conditions. Microbial transcripts enriched from host-microbe total RNA were sequenced using the Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencing platform. Results showed that this enrichment approach was highly reproducible and effective for rapid on-site detection of microbial transcriptional activity. Taxonomic analysis based on 16S and 18S rRNA transcripts identified that the top five most abundant phyla in the lettuce microbiome were Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Ascomycota. The metatranscriptomic analysis identified the expression of genes involved in many metabolic pathways, including carbohydrate metabolism, energy metabolism, and signal transduction. Network analyses of the expression data show that, within the signal transduction pathway of the fungal community, the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase signaling pathway was tightly regulated across all samples and could be a potential driver for fungal proliferation. Our results demonstrated the feasibility of using MinION-based metatranscriptomics of enriched microbial RNA as a method for rapid, on-site monitoring of the transcriptional activity of crop microbiomes, thereby helping to facilitate and maintain plant health for on-orbit space food production.
