Project description:We extracted RNA from C57BL/6 mouse neutrophils to measure inter-individual variability in gene expression. 5 of the 10 blood samples were analyzed separately, the other 5 were pooled then split into 5 technical replicates to measure technical variability. We could then measure inter-individual variability in gene expression and compare it to the amplitude of miRNA-guided repression by miR-223.

Project description:DNA methylation microarrays have become a widely used tool for investigating epigenetic modifications in various aspects of biomedical research. However, technical variability in methylation data poses challenges for downstream applications such as predictive modeling of health and disease. In this study, we measure the impact of common sources of technical variability in Illumina DNA methylation microarray data, with a specific focus on positional biases inherent within the microarray technology. By utilizing a dataset comprised of multiple, highly similar technical replicates, we identified a chamber number bias, with different chambers of the microarray exhibiting systematic differences in fluorescence intensities and their derived methylation beta values, which are only partially corrected for by existing preprocessing methods, and demonstrate that this positional bias can lead to false positive results during differential methylation testing. Additionally, our investigation identified outliers in low-level fluorescence data which might play a role in contributing to predictive error in computational models of health-relevant traits such as age.

Project description:Small RNA-seq is increasingly being used for profiling of small RNAs. Quantitative characteristics of long RNA-seq have been extensively described, but small RNA-seq involves fundamentally different methods for library preparation, with distinct protocols and technical variations that have not been fully and systematically studied. Using common sets of reference samples, we evaluated the accuracy, reproducibility and bias of small RNA-seq library preparation for five distinct protocols and across nine different laboratories. As part of this larger study, we assessed reproducibility and diversity of sequencing of mature miRNAs, generating libraries from RNA extracted from human plasma that was pooled from 11 healthy individuals. We find that protocol-specific biases are largely recapitulated in the biological samples, and that inter-protocol bias correction factors estimated from the more comprehensive equimolar synthetic pools can be applied to the biological samples to get more comparable, and in some cases, more accurate estimates of miRNA abundance.

Project description:Background: RNA-seq is a powerful technique for identifying and quantifying transcription and splicing events, both known and novel. However, given its recent development and the proliferation of library construction methods, understanding the bias it introduces is incomplete but critical to realizing its value. Results: We present a method, in vitro transcription sequencing (IVT-seq), for identifying and assessing the technical biases in RNA-seq library generation and sequencing at scale. We created a pool of over 1,000 in vitro transcribed RNAs from a full-length human cDNA library and sequenced them with polyA and total RNA-seq, the most common protocols. Because each cDNA is full length, and we show in vitro transcription is incredibly processive, each base in each transcript should be equivalently represented. However, with common RNA-seq applications and platforms, we find 50% of transcripts have more than two-fold and 10% have more than 10-fold differences in within-transcript sequence coverage. We also find greater than 6% of transcripts have regions of dramatically unpredictable sequencing coverage between samples, confounding accurate determination of their expression. We use a combination of experimental and computational approaches to show rRNA depletion is responsible for the most significant variability in coverage, and several sequence determinants also strongly influence representation. Conclusions: These results show the utility of IVT-seq for promoting better understanding of bias introduced by RNA-seq. We find rRNA depletion is responsible for substantial, unappreciated biases in coverage introduced during library preparation. These biases suggest exon-level expression analysis may be inadvisable, and we recommend caution when interpreting RNA-seq results.

Project description:Background: RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) of peripheral blood can be a valuable source of information for investigating the status and mechanism of diseases. However, blood contains mostly unwanted hemoglobin (Hb) transcripts. A recent method for Illumina RNA-Seq features a ‘Globin Block’ (GB) module that depletes Hb transcripts during library preparation. Here, we aimed to assess GB’s effectiveness, and we checked for technical biases attributable to GB. Results: We sequenced 91 pairs of GB and non-blocked samples (noGB) and 8 GB and noGB technical replicates from whole blood total RNA samples of 91 healthy individuals. GB reduced the fraction of Hb transcripts from 43 % to 8.0 %. From GB samples we detected 1,397 more expressed genes at approximately 11 million reads per RNA-isolate. Using correlation analyses we showed that GB and noGB samples could be assigned to the same RNA isolate with 89.8 % accuracy. Interestingly, lane and platform bias influenced accuracy stronger than GB. Gene expressions distinguishing between GB and noGB could not be enriched for sequence similarity or molecular function. Conclusions: Lexogen’s GB RNA-Seq module is a valuable addition during mRNA-Seq library preparation. GB facilitates the detection of low abundant transcripts and yields more non-hemoglobin reads, while preserving biological information.

Project description:Transcriptomics data obtained from limiting amounts of mRNA is often noisy, providing primarily qualitative changes in transcript expressions. So far, technical variations arising out of the library preparation protocols have not been adequately characterized at reduced levels of mRNA. Here, we generated sequencing libraries from limiting amounts of mRNA using three amplification-based methods, viz. Smart-seq, DP-seq and CEL-seq, and demonstrated significant technical variations in these libraries. Reduction in mRNA levels led to inefficient amplification of the majority of low to moderately expressed transcripts. Furthermore, stochasticity in primer hybridization and/or enzyme incorporation was magnified during the amplification step resulting in significant distortions in fold changes of the transcripts. Consequently, the majority of the differentially expressed transcripts identified were either high-expressed and/or exhibited high fold changes. High technical variations, which were sequencing depth independent, ultimately masked subtle biological differences mandating the development of improved amplification-based strategies for quantitative transcriptomics from limiting amounts of mRNA.

Results Here we present a method, in vitro transcription sequencing (IVT-seq), for identifying and assessing the technical biases in RNA-seq library generation and sequencing at scale.

Because each cDNA is full length and we show IVT is incredibly processive, each base in each transcript should be equivalently represented. However, with common RNA-seq applications and platforms, we find ~50% of transcripts have > 2-fold and ~10% have > 10-fold differences in within-transcript sequence coverage. Strikingly, we also find > 6% of transcripts have regions of high, unpredictable sequencing coverage, where the same transcript varies dramatically in coverage between samples, confounding accurate determination of their expression. To get at causal factors, we used a combination of experimental and computational approaches to show that rRNA depletion is responsible for the most significant variability in coverage and that several sequence determinants also strongly influence representation. Conclusions In sum, these results show the utility of IVT-seq in promoting better understanding of bias introduced by RNA-seq and suggest caution in its interpretation. Furthermore, we find that rRNA-depletion is responsible for substantial, unappreciated biases in coverage. Perhaps most importantly, these coverage biases introduced during library preparation suggest exon level expression analysis may be inadvisable. 5 rRNA-depleted samples with duplicates, 1 polyA selected, 1 total RNA, and 1 plasmid library all without replicates.
