Over the years, we at Ambion receive a number of requests for information about the best way to isolate and ribo-deplete prokaryotic total RNA for next-gen sequencing.  I just wanted to give a brief overview and some suggestions on RNA bacterial sequencing using the Ion platform (specifically, the PGM™).  After trying several methods to extract and purify total RNA from E. coli dh10b, we found that lysing and extracting using TRIzol® Reagent and isolating/purifying with the mirVana™ miRNA  isolation glass-fiber filter results in the most complete recovery of total RNA.  Specifically, we followed the TRIzol® Reagent protocol and homogenized using trizol then phase separated with chloroform. We then transferred the aqueous phase containing the RNA into a new RNase-free 1.5mL microcentrifuge tube and followed the mirVana™ miRNA Isolation Kit protocol starting with the Total RNA Isolation Procedure section and eluted with 100uL of Elution Solution.  This method is able to recover both large and small RNA molecules including miRNA, siRNA, snRNA, and other small RNA transcripts of yet unknown functions. The total RNA went through DNase I digestion to remove any genomic DNA contamination. Before proceeding to rRNA removal we checked the quality of the total RNA on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer using the RNA 6000 Nano kit (see Figure 1). It is important that the RNA be high quality for maximum rRNA removal efficiency.

CCB Johns HopkinsThe expression levels of bacterial genes can be measured directly using next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods, offering much greater sensitivity and accuracy than earlier, microarray-based methods. Most bioinformatics software for estimating levels of gene expression from NGS data has been designed for eukaryotic genomes, with algorithms focusing particularly on detection of splicing patterns. These methods do not perform well on bacterial genomes.

Here, researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine describe the first software system designed explicitly for quantifying the degree of gene expression in bacteria and other prokaryotes. EDGE-pro (Estimated Degree of Gene Expression in PROkaryotes) processes the raw data from an RNA-seq experiment on a bacterial or archaeal species and produces estimates of the expression levels for each gene in these gene-dense genomes.

Availability – The EDGE-pro tool is implemented as a pipeline of C++ and Perl programs and is freely available as open-source code at http://www.genomics.jhu.edu/software/EDGE/index.shtml.

Microarray technology is a powerful tool for studying genome-wide gene expression. As the genome of many fish has not yet been determined, however, cDNA microarrays can only be designed from limited known sequence data.

In this study, researchers at Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, Japan designed a microarray based on the sequencing data (337,466 reads) obtained by next-generation sequencing of RNA extracted from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) embryonic genital ridge, testis, and ovary.

These data (307,264 reads) were assembled into 28,668 contigs. Based on this information, 55,928 microarray probes were designed for a microarray, which was validated by hybridizing experiments with RNA extracted from type A spermatogonia (A-SG) and testicular somatic cells. The rainbow trout gonad microarray developed in this study therefore appears to be a useful tool to understand gametogenesis in rainbow trout.

With the introduction of cost effective, rapid and superior quality next generation sequencing (NGS) techniques, gene expression analysis has become viable for labs conducting small projects as well as large-scale gene expression analysis experiments. However, the available protocols for construction of RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) libraries are expensive and/or difficult to scale for high-throughput applications. Also, most protocols require isolated total RNA as a starting point.

Presented here is a cost-effective RNA-Seq library synthesis protocol that is fast, starts with tissue, and is high-throughput from tissue to synthesized library. A set of 96 unique barcodes have been designed for library adapters that are amenable to high-throughput sequencing by a large combination of multiplexing strategies. This protocol has more power to detect differentially expressed genes when compared to the standard Illumina protocol, probably owing to less technical variation amongst replicates.  The authors also address the problem of gene-length biases affecting differential gene expression calls and demonstrate that such biases can be efficiently minimized during mRNA isolation for library preparation.

from In Sequence – By Monica Heger

Microarray technology and next-generation sequencing, when used in conjunction, could improve on using either method alone to evaluate gene expression, according to researchers from the University of Barcelona.

The team combined three different microarray platforms — from Agilent, Operon, and Illumina — with digital gene-expression profiling on the Illumina Genome Analyzer to study genes related to the epidermal growth factor, a regulatory growth factor related to cell proliferation and survival. They found that the combination of the techniques was able to establish a validated gene set — including novel genes previously unrelated to EGF — as well as help piece together the network of how those genes interact.

The study, published in BMC Genomics this month, suggests that using the two different technologies could help generate more reliable data sets than when either method is used alone, and should help improve the confidence of functional analysis.

A novel method, FusionMap, is presented which aligns fusion reads directly to the genome without prior knowledge of potential fusion regions. FusionMap can detect fusion events in both single- and paired-end datasets from either RNA-Seq or gDNA-Seq studies and characterize fusion junctions at base-pair resolution.

FusionMap achieved high sensitivity and specificity in fusion detection on two simulated RNA-Seq datasets which contained 75nt paired-end reads. FusionMap achieved substantially higher sensitivity and specificity than the paired-end approach when the inner distance between read pairs was small. Using FusionMap to characterize fusion genes in K562 chronic myeloid leukemia cell line, its accuracy was further demonstrated in fusion detection in both single-end RNA-Seq and gDNA-Seq datasets. These combined results show that FusionMap provides an accurate and systematic solution to detecting fusion events through junction-spanning reads.

AVAILABILITY: FusionMap includes reference indexing, read filtering, fusion alignment and reporting in one package. The software is free for non-commercial use at (http://www.omicsoft.com/fusionmap).

New Species
BMC Genomics reports the transcriptome sequencing of two new species: Alfalfa and Guppy

Alfalfa, (Medicago sativa [L.] sativa), a widely-grown perennial forage has potential for development as a cellulosic ethanol feedstock. However, the genomics of alfalfa, a non-model species, is still in its infancy.  Using the Illumina GA-II platform, a total of 198,861,304 expression sequence tags (ESTs, 76 bp in length) were generated from cDNA libraries derived from elongating stem (ES) and post-elongation stem (PES) internodes of 708 and 773. [abstract]

The guppy (Poecilia reticulata) transcriptome, assembled do novo using 454 sequence reads, is presented and the authors evaluate potential uses of this transcriptome, including detection of sex-specific transcripts and deployment as a reference for gene expression analysis in guppies and a related species. Guppies have been model organisms in ecology, evolutionary biology, and animal behaviour for over 100 years. An annotated transcriptome and other genomic tools will facilitate understanding the genetic and molecular bases of adaptation and variation in a vertebrate species with a uniquely well known natural history.

  • rna seq news

RNA-seq is a method for studying the transcriptome of cells or tissues by massively parallel sequencing of tens of millions of short DNA fragments. However, the broad dynamic range of gene expression levels, which span more than five orders of magnitude, necessitates considerable over-sequencing to characterize low-abundance RNAs at sufficient depth. Here, the authors describe a method that enables efficient sequencing of low-abundance RNAs by normalizing or reducing the range spanned by the most abundant RNA species to the least abundant RNA species. This normalization is achieved using an approach that was developed for generating expressed sequence tag (EST) libraries that uses the crab duplex-specific nuclease and exploits the kinetics of DNA annealing. That is, double-stranded cDNA is denatured, then allowed to partially re-anneal, and the most abundant species, which re-anneal most rapidly, are digested with crab duplex-specific nuclease. This procedure substantially decreases the proportion of sequence reads from highly expressed RNAs, facilitating assessment of the full spectrum of the sequence and structure of transcriptomes.
