Project description:Long read SMRT cDNA sequencing of nascent RNA from exponentially growing S. cerevisiae and S. pombe cells was employed to obtain transcription elongation and splicing information from single transcripts. Nascent RNA was prepared from the yeast chromatin fraction (Carrillo Oesterreich, Preibisch, Neugebauer, Mol Cell 2010). The nascent 3â?? end was labeled with a 3â?? DNA adaptor through ligation. The adaptor sequence served as template for full-length reverse transcription and double-stranded cDNA was obtained in a PCR (gene-specific or transcriptome-wide). SMRT DNA sequencing libraries were prepared subsequently. Nascent RNA profiles for mainly intron-containing genes were generated with long-read SMRT cDNA sequencing.

Project description:Short-read sequencing of nascent RNA from exponentially growing S. pombe cells was employed to quantify co-transcriptional splicing and expression levels. Nascent RNA was prepared from the yeast chromatin fraction (Carrillo Oesterreich, Preibisch, Neugebauer, Mol Cell 2010). Single-end Illumina sequencing data were generated from chromatin-associated, non-polyadenylated RNA (nascent RNA) and cytoplasmic mRNA for reference. In an experiment to test for splicing-associated gene expression changes cells were treated with 10mM Caffeine for 15minutes and nascent and mRNA-seq data were generated subsequently.

Project description:Adenovirus is a common human pathogen that relies on host cell processes for transcription and processing of viral RNA and protein production. Although adenoviral promoters, splice junctions, and cleavage and polyadenylation sites have been characterized using low-throughput biochemical techniques or short read cDNA-based sequencing, these technologies do not fully capture the complexity of the adenoviral transcriptome. By combining Illumina short-read and nanopore long-read direct RNA sequencing approaches, we mapped transcription start sites and cleavage and polyadenylation sites across the adenovirus genome. In addition to confirming the known canonical viral early and late RNA cassettes, our analysis of splice junctions within long RNA reads revealed an additional 35 novel viral transcripts. These RNAs include fourteen new splice junctions which lead to expression of canonical open reading frames (ORF), six novel ORF-containing transcripts, and fifteen transcripts encoding for messages that potentially alter protein functions through truncations or fusion of canonical ORFs. In addition, we also detect RNAs that bypass canonical cleavage sites and generate potential chimeric proteins by linking separate gene transcription units. Of these, an evolutionary conserved protein was detected containing the N-terminus of E4orf6 fused to the downstream DBP/E2A ORF. Loss of this novel protein, E4orf6/DBP, was associated with aberrant viral replication center morphology and poor viral spread. Our work highlights how long-read sequencing technologies can reveal further complexity within viral transcriptomes.
