Project description:We sequenced DNA from a bulk of Col x Ler F2 hybrid plants (WT and recq4) using Nanopore long-read sequencing and identified crossover sites with COmapper. For nanopore sequencing of gDNA from 1,000 pooled seedlings, 10-day-old seedlings were ground in liquid nitrogen using a mortar and pestle. The ground tissue was resuspended in four volumes of CTAB buffer (1% [w/v] CTAB, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 0.7 M NaCl, 10 mM EDTA) and incubated at 65°C for 30 min. Following chloroform extraction, isopropanol precipitation and removal of RNAs as above, the gDNA pellet was resuspended in 150 μl TE (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 0.1 mM EDTA) buffer and gDNA was quantified using a Qubit dsDNA Broad Range assay kit (Thermo Fisher, Q32853). Nine micrograms of gDNA from pollen or seedlings was used to construct a nanopore long-read sequencing library using a Ligation Sequencing Kit V14 (Nanopore, SQK-LSK114). The libraries were sequenced using a PromethION platform (BGI, Hong Kong).
Project description:We sequenced DNA from the leaves of ten Col x Ler F1 hybrid plants (WT and recq4) using Nanopore long-read sequencing and identified crossover sites with COmapper. These data were used as a negative control for COmapper, as no crossover sites were expected to be detected. For nanopore sequencing of gDNA from leaves, leaves from 10 5-week-old plants were ground in liquid nitrogen using a mortar and pestle. The ground tissue was resuspended in four volumes of CTAB buffer (1% [w/v] CTAB, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 0.7 M NaCl, 10 mM EDTA) and incubated at 65°C for 30 min.

Project description:Genomic DNA from 55 Col x Ler F2 individuals was extracted using CTAB and used to generate sequencing libraries as described (Rowan et al; Yelina et al), with the following modifications. DNA was extracted from 3 rosette leaves of 5 week old plants and 150 ng of DNA used as input for each library. DNA shearing was carried out for 20 minutes at 37°C with 0.4U of DNA Shearase (Zymo research). The barcoded adapters used for library construction are listed in Rowan et al. Each set of 96 libraries was sequenced on one lane of an Illumina NextSeq500 instrument (300-cycle Mid Output run). Sequencing data was analysed to identify crossovers as previously reported, using the TIGER pipeline. The same gDNA was pooled into two groups (pool1 = F2_1 to F2_4; pool2 = F2_5 to F2_55) and sequenced with Nanopore PromethION, which is available at E-MTAB-14367
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: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:Nanopore Sequencing and assembly of Col-0 carrying seed coat expressed GFP and RFP transgenes flanking the centromere of chromosome 3 (CTL 3.9) - additionally, DNA methylation was derived using deepsignal-plant using these reads.
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:Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues have many advantages for identification of risk biomarkers, including wide availability and potential for extended follow-up endpoints. However, RNA derived from archival FFPE samples has limited quality. Here we identified parameters that determine which FFPE samples have the potential for successful RNA extraction, library preparation, and generation of usable RNAseq data. We optimized library preparation protocols designed for use with FFPE samples using seven FFPE and Fresh Frozen replicate pairs, and tested optimized protocols using a study set of 130 FFPE biopsies from women with benign breast disease. Metrics from RNA extraction and preparation procedures were collected and compared with bioinformatics sequencing summary statistics. Finally, a decision tree model was built to learn the relationship between pre-sequencing lab metrics and qc pass/fail status as determined by bioinformatics metrics.. Samples that failed bioinformatics qc tended to have low median sample-wise correlation within the cohort (Spearman correlation < 0.75), low number of reads mapped to gene regions (< 25 million), or low number of detectable genes (11,400 # of detected genes with TPM > 4). The median RNA concentration and pre-capture library Qubit values for qc failed samples were 18.9 ng/ul and 2.08 ng/ul respectively, which were significantly lower than those of qc pass samples (40.8 ng/ul and 5.82 ng/ul). We built a decision tree model based on input RNA concentration, input library qubit values, and achieved an F score of 0.848 in predicting QC status (pass/fail) of FFPE samples. We provide a bioinformatics quality control recommendation for FFPE samples from breast tissue by evaluating bioinformatic and sample metrics. Our results suggest a minimum concentration of 25 ng/ul FFPE-extracted RNA for library preparation and 1.7 ng/ul pre-capture library output to achieve adequate RNA-seq data for downstream bioinformatics analysis.
Project description:Probing epigenetic features on long molecules of DNA has tremendous potential to advance our understanding of the phased epigenome. In this study, we evaluate CpG methylation and chromatin accessibility simultaneously on long strands of DNA using GpC methyltransferase to exogenously label open chromatin, coupled with nanopore sequencing technology. We performed nanopore sequencing of Nucleosome Occupancy and Methylome (nanoNOMe) on four human cell lines (GM12878, MCF-10A, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231), and demonstrate the ability to directly measure methylation and chromatin accessibility in genomic features such as structural variations and repetitive elements. The long single-molecule resolution allows footprinting of protein and nucleosome binding and determining the combinatorial promoter epigenetic state on individual molecules. Long-read sequencing makes it possible to robustly assign reads to haplotypes, enabling allele-specific epigenetic analysis across the genome. We use existing SNV data on GM12878 to present the first fully phased human Probing epigenetic features on long molecules of DNA has tremendous potential to advance our understanding of the phased epigenome.
