Project description:One ONT-ULK sequencing run from the kidney of a single male CDMR (Bathyergus suillus) sample used to make the mBatSui1.1.primary genome assembly as an evolutionary comparator to our telomere-to-telomere naked mole-rat genome assembly. Specifically, we assembled a CDMR from a wild-derived sample in South African cape and sequenced in Toronto, Canada, using PacBio HiFi (89 Gb, read N50 = 18 Kb) and ONT-ULK (55 Gb, read N50 = 43 Kb) reads (contig N50 = 33 Mb, Compleasm S = 99%, QV = 71.0). This accession stores the ONT-ULK data for this assembly.
Project description:Long-read RNA sequencing technologies offer unparalleled in- sights into transcriptomes by enabling full-length sequencing of RNA molecules, uncovering novel isoforms and alternative splicing events. While long-read sequencing platforms, such as Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), have historically been associated with higher error rates, recent advancements in both platforms have significantly en- hanced read accuracy, broadening their applicability for tran- scriptomic studies. With the rapid evolution of sequencing protocols and bioin- formatics tools, the trade-offs between sequencing throughput, read length, accuracy, and cost present significant challenges in selecting the optimal approach. Systematic benchmarking studies that compare these options are crucial to inform fu- ture research directions. However, many existing benchmark- ing datasets with matched data across multiple platforms have limitations, including: 1) a lack of realistic biological replicates, which may restrict the generalisability of differential analysis results to real-world scenarios, and 2) the use of earlier sequenc- ing kits, which may not reflect the latest advancements in se- quencing technology, limiting their relevance for future studies that typically use newer sequencing protocols. Here we present LongBench, a comprehensive benchmarking dataset designed to fill these critical gaps. Derived from eight lung cancer cell lines with synthetic RNA spike-ins, LongBench includes bulk, single-cell, and single-nucleus RNA-seq data from three state-of-the-art long-read sequencing platforms — ONT PCR-cDNA, ONT direct RNA, PacBio Kinnex — alongside Il- lumina short-read data for robust cross-platform comparisons. The LongBench dataset is a valuable resource for benchmarking and improving sequencing protocols and bioinformatics tools. With the LongBench dataset we present a systematic evaluation of transcript capture, quantification, and differential expression analyses, examining the strengths and limitations of each se- quencing platform in various biological contexts, enabling re- searchers to make more informed decisions on platform and method selection.
Project description:Collection of 2 biological replicates of SMF-ONT performed in S2 and OSC cell lines. The footprinting protocol was adapted from Kleinendorst and Barzaghi et al., 2021 and optimised for long-read sequencing and high weight DNA extraction. In summary, 2.5 million intact nuclei per SMF reaction have been treated with successive incubation with GpC (M.CviPI) and CpG (M.SssI) methyltransferase enzymes. Footprinted DNA was extracted using the Quick-DNA HMW MagBead kit following the manufacturer protocol and using wide-bore tips. Nanopore ligation library (LSK109 or LSK114) preparation has been performed using 1µg of purified footprinted HWM DNA. Sequencing has been performed using GridION flow cells for the R9 chemistry (LSK109) and promethION flow cells for the R10 chemistry (LSK114). The data have been analysed using the SMF-ONT nextflow pipeline (https://git.embl.de/grp-krebs/nf-smfont) using custom methylation call models.
Project description:Two PacBio Hifi sequencing runs from the kidney of a single male NMR sample used to make the mHetGla4.1.primary genome assembly. Specifically, we assembled a second NMR genome from an unrelated male of a separate captive colony in Toronto, Canada, using PacBio HiFi (155.8 Gb, read N50 = 11.45 Kb) and ONT-LSK (299.6 Gb, read N50 = 10.1 Kb) reads (contig N50 = 75.7 Mb, Compleasm S = 98%). This accession stores the ONT-LSK data for this independent assembly.

Project description:We describe an improved individual nucleotide resolution CLIP protocol (iiCLIP), which can be completed within 4 days from UV crosslinking to libraries for sequencing. For benchmarking, we directly compared PTBP1 iiCLIP libraries with the iCLIP2 protocol produced under standardised conditions with 1 million HEK293 cells, and with public eCLIP and iCLIP PTBP1 data. There are 3 PTBP1 iiCLIP libraries, 1 input iiCLIP library and 1 PTBP1 iCLIP2 library produced in this study.
