Project description:Genome-wide 5-methylcytosine (5mC) profiling at CpG dinucleotides in Hydra viridissima using Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing with Dorado base modification detection. Five ONT runs (one symbiotic, four aposymbiotic clone 2) were basecalled with Dorado sup,5mCG_5hmCG, aligned to Carnegie v1 genome assembly (JBWVZK000000000), and methylation quantified with modkit. Global CpG methylation is ~9-10%, bimodal (88% unmethylated, 7% fully methylated). Unique genomic regions show higher methylation (12%) than repetitive regions (7.5%).
Project description:We identified hankyphage prophages within B. thetaiotaomicron isolates gathered from French hospitals. We extracted genomic DNA from an overnight culture from a single colony of each strain and sequenced them using Nanopore sequencing using the Plasmidsaurus platform. This long-read approach helped the assembly of the phages and determination of the hankyphage ends. We also improved the annotation of the reference hankyphage (hankyphage p00 from P. dorei HM719) using a structural prediction approach and annotated our B. thetaiotaomicron hankyphages using this new annotation. In this project we upload the genomic raw reads of nanopore sequencing of our hankyphage-bearing B. thetaiotaomicron collection (jmh strains) and the processed assembled hankyphages.
Project description:We used the nanopore Cas9 targeted sequencing (nCATS) strategy to specifically sequence 125 L1HS-containing loci in parallel and measure their DNA methylation levels using nanopore long-read sequencing. Each targeted locus is sequenced at high coverage (~45X) with unambiguously mapped reads spanning the entire L1 element, as well as its flanking sequences over several kilobases. The genome-wide profile of L1 methylation was also assessed by bs-ATLAS-seq in the same cell lines (E-MTAB-10895).
Project description:Transfer RNAs are the fundamental adapter molecules of protein synthesis and the most abundant and heterogeneous class of noncoding RNA molecules in cells. The study of tRNA repertoires remains challenging, complicated by the presence of dozens of post transcriptional modifications. Nanopore sequencing is an emerging technology with promise for both tRNA sequencing and the detection of RNA modifications; however, such studies have been limited by the throughput and accuracy of direct RNA sequencing methods. Moreover, detection of the complete set of tRNA modifications by nanopore sequencing remains challenging. Here we show that recent updates to nanopore direct RNA sequencing chemistry (RNA004) combined with our own optimizations to tRNA sequencing protocols and analysis workflows enable high throughput coverage of tRNA molecules and characterization of nanopore signals produced by 43 distinct RNA modifications. We share best practices and protocols for nanopore sequencing of tRNA and further report successful detection of low abundance mitochondrial and viral tRNAs, providing proof of concept for use of nanopore sequencing to study tRNA populations in the context of infection and organelle biology. This work provides a roadmap to guide future efforts towards de novo detection of RNA modifications across multiple organisms using nanopore sequencing.
Project description:Post-transcriptional modifications to RNA, which comprise the epitranscriptome, play important roles in RNA metabolism, gene regulation, and disease pathogenesis. However, mapping modifications and characterizing their function is often challenged by a lack of consensus on their presence and significance. The availability of reference epitranscriptomes to benchmark data would significantly advance epitranscriptomic studies. Toward this goal, we established a reference epitranscriptome for human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1), an important human pathogen. We sequenced a model HIV-1 genome from infected T cells using the latest nanopore technology. A sense and novel preliminary antisense HIV-1 epitranscriptome were generated where N6-methyladenosine, 5-methylcytosine, pseudouridine, inosine, and 2'-O-methyl modifications were mapped by multiplexed base calling at nucleotide resolution. Modification miscalling due to sequence and modification context was corrected with synthetic RNA fragments and m6A was validated with an inhibitor. Modifications were stable under combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) treatment, in primary CD4+ T cells, and in HIV-1 virions. In contrast, spliced transcript-dependent modification levels were observed. Sequencing samples from people living with HIV (PLWH) revealed substantial conservation of m6A in circulating strains. Our approach offers a benchmark reference to advance HIV-1 epitranscriptomics and provides a roadmap for the creation of reference epitranscriptomes for other viruses or pathogens.
Project description:Genomic DNA from 39 recq4 Col x Ler F2 individuals was extracted using the CTAB method. Equal amounts of DNA from these 39 plants were pooled and nine micrograms of gDNA from each pool was used to generate Nanopore sequencing libraries with the Ligation Sequencing Kit V14 (Nanopore, SQK-LSK114). The libraries were sequenced independently using PromethION (BGI, Hong Kong).
Project description:Genomic DNA from 55 wild type Col x Ler F2 individuals was extracted using the CTAB method. Equal amounts of DNA from these 55 plants were pooled into two groups (pool 1 = 4 plants; pool 2 = 51 plants), and nine micrograms of gDNA from each pool was used to generate Nanopore sequencing libraries with the Ligation Sequencing Kit V14 (Nanopore, SQK-LSK114). The libraries were sequenced independently using PromethION (BGI, Hong Kong).
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.
