Project description:To identify aberrant splicing isoforms and potential neoantigens, we performed full-length cDNA sequencing of lung adenocarcinoma cell lines using a long-read sequencer MinION. We constructed a comprehensive catalog of aberrant splicing isoforms and detected isoform-specific peptides using proteome analysis.
Project description:Here we describe CapTrap-Seq, an experimental workflow designed to address the problem of reduced transcript end detection by long-read RNA sequencing methods, especially at the 5' ends. We apply CapTrap-Seq to profile transcriptomes of the human heart and brain and we compared the obtained results with other library preparation approaches. CapTrap-Seq is a platform-agnostic method and here tested the method by using 3 different long-read sequencing platforms: MinION (ONT), Sequel (PacBaio) and Sequel II (PacBio).
Project description:We applied direct RNA long read sequencing for characterization of transcripts from constructs inserted into HEK293T mammalian cells with different promoters. Direct RNA sequencing was performed on an Oxford Nanopore GridION device using the Direct Sequencing Kit (SQK-RNA004, date accessed 15 May 2024), MinION RNA flow cell (FLO-MIN00RA), and data pre-processing was performed with MinKNOW (v24.06.10).
Project description:Alternative splicing significantly contributes to transcriptome complexity and has critical implications for cellular functions. Recent advancements in single-cell isolation and capture techniques have enabled high-throughput quantification of gene expression at single-cell resolution. Long-read sequencing technologies can further be combined with single-cell technologies and enable an unambiguous identification of complete exon structures. Several computational methods have been developed to specifically address bioinformatics challenges associated with the processing of long read scRNA-seq data. Evaluating and comparing these computational methods becomes crucial. The goal of this study was to benchmark state-of-the-art computational tools for single-cell and spatial long-read transcriptomics. The scRNA-seq data were generated from two tumors developed by a mouse model, and designated as MPNST1 and MPNST2. Data were obtained by using the 10X Genomics technology, then generating sequencing libraries using either Illumina, Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) or scNaUmi-Seq protocols. Raw data were obtained after sequencing the libraries on Illumina, MinION or PromethION sequencing platforms. The two Illumina data were uploaded as part of the related submission E-MTAB-14222, with sample MPNST1 corresponding to 2020_23 and MPNST2 to 2022_26. This current submission contains the four long-read raw data et the data processed using the wf-single-cell pipeline.

Project description:These experiments use a barcoded pool of reporter transcripts, each of which encode the same mScarlet-PPIG_LCD fusion protein, but using different degrees of GA-multivalency via codon bias, and containing a different number of constitutive introns. In order to be able to perform experiments using this pool, it was necessary to perform long-read sequencing of the plasmid pool to relate the barcodes in the 3' ends of the reporter to their gene structure. Therefore, we performed long-read sequencing of the plasmid pool (both the original pool used for transfection and the ePB plasmid used for PiggyBac integration). Furthermore, to determine the splicing patterns of the reporter genes, we transfected the plasmid pool into HeLa cells for 16 hours, then performed targeted long-read sequencing of the reporter plasmids via RT-PCR. Note: the Nanopore adapter ligation strategy means that reads can come in either orientation. To determine the gene architectures and barcodes, we used fuzzy string matching. First we matched to various fixed sequences throughout the reporter transcripts to determine the orientation of the read and that the read spanned the full length of the transcript. Then we used the same string matching strategy to detect the presence of the different intronic or exonic sequences - the gene architecture. Then we extracted the associated unique plasmid barcode associated with that gene architecture. Example reporter sequences can be found here: https://benchling.com/faraway/f_/kXCfddtQ-public-reporter-plasmid-maps/ or alternatively, in Supplemental Table 2 of the bioRxiv submission here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.08.21.554177v1.supplementary-material
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.
