Project description:we provide a novel immune repertoire and RNA-seq joint library construction method (IRJL), we used IRJL protocol to compare the transcriptomic and immune repertoire of CT-26 tumor model and normal mouse spleen. Overall, IRJL offers a greatly simplified, shortcut and cost-effective protocol with RNA-seq and immune repertoire.
Project description:Next-generation sequencing has been widely used for the genome-wide profiling of histone modifications, transcription factor binding and gene expression through chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) and cDNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Here, we describe a versatile library construction method that can be applied to both ChIP-seq and RNA-seq on the widely used Illumina platforms. Standard methods for ChIP-seq library construction require nanograms of starting DNA, substantially limiting its application to rare cell types or limited clinical samples. By minimizing the DNA purification steps that cause major sample loss, our method achieved a high sensitivity in ChIP-seq library preparation. Using this method, we achieved the following: (1) generated high-quality epigenomic and transcription factor-binding maps using ChIP-seq for murine adipocytes; (2) successfully prepared a ChIP-seq library from as little as 25 pg of starting DNA; (3) achieved paired-end sequencing of the ChIP-seq libraries; (4) systematically profiled gene expression dynamics during murine adipogenesis using RNA-seq; and (5) preserved the strand specificity of the transcripts in RNA-seq. Given its sensitivity and versatility in both double-stranded and single-stranded DNA library construction, this method has wide applications in genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic and interactomic studies. Pre-adipocytes and mature adipocytes were collected. Their chromatin and RNA were subjected to ChIP and mRNA extraction. Sequencing libraries from ChIP DNA or mRNA were generated following either standard protocols or TELP method. The quality and features of TELP libraries were proved and demonstrated in comparison with standard libraries or other published data.
Project description:High throughput sequencing is frequently used to discover the location of regulatory interactions on chromatin. However, techniques that enrich DNA where regulatory activity takes place, such as chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), often yield less DNA than optimal for sequencing library preparation. Existing protocols for picogram-scale libraries require concomitant fragmentation of DNA, pre-amplification, or long overnight steps. We report a simple and fast library construction method that produces libraries from sub-nanogram quantities of DNA. This protocol yields conventional libraries with barcodes suitable for multiplexed sample analysis on the Illumina platform. We demonstrate the utility of this method by constructing a ChIP-seq library from 100 pg of ChIP DNA that demonstrates equivalent genomic coverage of target regions to a library produced from a larger scale experiment. Application of this method allows whole genome studies from samples where material or yields are limiting. Comparison of ChIP-seq libraries constructed from 100 pg DNA (this study) and nanograms of DNA (modENCODE). ChIP antibody: H3K27me3, Active Motif 31955.
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.

Project description:Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is fundamental to the current biological and biomedical research. Construction of sequencing library is a key step of NGS. Therefore, various library construction methods have been explored. However, the current methods are still limited by some shortcomings. Results: This study developed a new NGS library construction method, Single strand Adaptor Library Preparation (SALP), by using a novel single strand adaptor (SSA). SSA is a double-stranded oligonucleotide with a 3ʹ overhang of 3 random nucleotides, which can be efficiently ligated to the 3′ end of single strand DNA by T4 DNA ligase. SALP can be started with any denatured DNA fragments such as those sheared by Tn5 tagmentation, enzyme digestion and sonication. When started with Tn5-tagmented chromatin, SALP can overcome a key limitation of ATAC-seq and become a high-throughput NGS library construction method, SALP-seq, which can be used to comparatively characterize the chromatin openness state of multiple cells unbiasly. In this way, this study successfully characterized the comparative chromatin openness states of four different cell lines, including GM12878, HepG2, HeLa and 293T, with SALP-seq. Similarly, this study also successfully characterized the chromatin openness states of HepG2 cells with SALP-seq by using 105 to 500 cells. Conclusions: This study developed a new NGS library construction method, SALP, by using a novel kind of single strand adaptor (SSA), which should has wide applications in the future due to its unique performance.
