Slightly changed original [BioWardrobe's](https://biowardrobe.com) [PubMed ID:26248465](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26248465) **RNA-Seq** basic analysis for **strand specific single-read** experiment. An additional steps were added to map data to mitochondrial chromosome only and then merge the output. Experiment files in [FASTQ](http://maq.sourceforge.net/fastq.shtml) format either compressed or not can be used. Current workflow should be used only with single-read strand specific RNA-Seq data. It performs the following steps: 1. `STAR` to align reads from input FASTQ file according to the predefined reference indices; generate unsorted BAM file and alignment statistics file 2. `fastx_quality_stats` to analyze input FASTQ file and generate quality statistics file 3. `samtools sort` to generate coordinate sorted BAM(+BAI) file pair from the unsorted BAM file obtained on the step 1 (after running STAR) 5. Generate BigWig file on the base of sorted BAM file 6. Map input FASTQ file to predefined rRNA reference indices using Bowtie to define the level of rRNA contamination; export resulted statistics to file 7. Calculate isoform expression level for the sorted BAM file and GTF/TAB annotation file using `GEEP` reads-counting utility; export results to file

Workflow maps FASTQ files from `fastq_files` input into reference genome `reference_star_indices_folder` and insilico generated `insilico_star_indices_folder` genome (concatenated genome for both `strain1` and `strain2` strains). For both genomes STAR is run with `outFilterMultimapNmax` parameter set to 1 to discard all of the multimapped reads. For insilico genome SAM file is generated. Then it's splitted into two SAM files based on strain names and then sorted by coordinates into the BAM format. For reference genome output BAM file from STAR slignment is also coordinate sorted.

. This ChIP-Seq pipeline is based on the original [BioWardrobe's](https://biowardrobe.com) [PubMed ID:26248465](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26248465) **ChIP-Seq** basic analysis workflow for a **single-read** experiment with Trim Galore. ### Data Analysis SciDAP starts from the .fastq files which most DNA cores and commercial NGS companies return. Starting from raw data allows us to ensure that all experiments have been processed in the same way and simplifies the deposition of data to GEO upon publication. The data can be uploaded from users computer, downloaded directly from an ftp server of the core facility by providing a URL or from GEO by providing SRA accession number. Our current pipelines include the following steps: 1. Trimming the adapters with TrimGalore. This step is particularly important when the reads are long and the fragments are short-resulting in sequencing adapters at the end of read. If adapter is not removed the read will not map. TrimGalore can recognize standard adapters, such as Illumina or Nexterra/Tn5 adapters. 2. QC 3. (Optional) trimming adapters on 5' or 3' end by the specified number of bases. 4. Mapping reads with BowTie. Only uniquely mapped reads with less than 3 mismatches are used in the downstream analysis. Results are saved as a .bam file. 5. (Optional) Removal of duplicates (reads/pairs of reads mapping to exactly same location). This step is used to remove reads overamplified in PCR. Unfortunately, it may also remove \"good\" reads. We usually do not remove duplicates unless the library is heavily duplicated. Please note that MACS2 will remove 'excessive' duplicates during peak calling ina smart way (those not supported by other nearby reads). 6. Peakcalling by MACS2. (Optionally), it is possible to specify read extension length for MACS2 to use if the length determined automatically is wrong. 7. Generation of BigWig coverage files for display on the browser. The coverage shows the number of fragments at each base in the genome normalized to the number of millions of mapped reads. In the case of PE sequencing the fragments are real, but in the case of single reads the fragments are estimated by extending reads to the average fragment length found by MACS2 or specified by the user in 6. ### Details _Trim Galore_ is a wrapper around [Cutadapt](https://github.com/marcelm/cutadapt) and [FastQC](http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/) to consistently apply adapter and quality trimming to FastQ files, with extra functionality for RRBS data. In outputs it returns coordinate sorted BAM file alongside with index BAI file, quality statistics of the input FASTQ file, reads coverage in a form of BigWig file, peaks calling data in a form of narrowPeak or broadPeak files, islands with the assigned nearest genes and region type, data for average tag density plot (on the base of BAM file). Workflow starts with step *fastx\_quality\_stats* from FASTX-Toolkit to calculate quality statistics for input FASTQ file. At the same time `bowtie` is used to align reads from input FASTQ file to reference genome *bowtie\_aligner*. The output of this step is unsorted SAM file which is being sorted and indexed by `samtools sort` and `samtools index` *samtools\_sort\_index*. Based on workflow’s input parameters indexed and sorted BAM file can be processed by `samtools rmdup` *samtools\_rmdup* to get rid of duplicated reads. If removing duplicates is not required the original input BAM and BAI files return. Otherwise step *samtools\_sort\_index\_after\_rmdup* repeat `samtools sort` and `samtools index` with BAM and BAI files. Right after that `macs2 callpeak` performs peak calling *macs2\_callpeak*. On the base of returned outputs the next step *macs2\_island\_count* calculates the number of islands and estimated fragment size. If the last one is less that 80bp (hardcoded in the workflow) `macs2 callpeak` is rerun again with forced fixed fragment size value (*macs2\_callpeak\_forced*). If at the very beginning it was set in workflow input parameters to force run peak calling with fixed fragment size, this step is skipped and the original peak calling results are saved. In the next step workflow again calculates the number of islands and estimates fragment size (*macs2\_island\_count\_forced*) for the data obtained from *macs2\_callpeak\_forced* step. If the last one was skipped the results from *macs2\_island\_count\_forced* step are equal to the ones obtained from *macs2\_island\_count* step. Next step (*macs2\_stat*) is used to define which of the islands and estimated fragment size should be used in workflow output: either from *macs2\_island\_count* step or from *macs2\_island\_count\_forced* step. If input trigger of this step is set to True it means that *macs2\_callpeak\_forced* step was run and it returned different from *macs2\_callpeak* step results, so *macs2\_stat* step should return [fragments\_new, fragments\_old, islands\_new], if trigger is False the step returns [fragments\_old, fragments\_old, islands\_old], where sufix \"old\" defines results obtained from *macs2\_island\_count* step and sufix \"new\" - from *macs2\_island\_count\_forced* step. The following two steps (*bamtools\_stats* and *bam\_to\_bigwig*) are used to calculate coverage on the base of input BAM file and save it in BigWig format. For that purpose bamtools stats returns the number of mapped reads number which is then used as scaling factor by bedtools genomecov when it performs coverage calculation and saves it in BED format. The last one is then being sorted and converted to BigWig format by bedGraphToBigWig tool from UCSC utilities. Step *get\_stat* is used to return a text file with statistics in a form of [TOTAL, ALIGNED, SUPRESSED, USED] reads count. Step *island\_intersect* assigns genes and regions to the islands obtained from *macs2\_callpeak\_forced*. Step *average\_tag\_density* is used to calculate data for average tag density plot on the base of BAM file.

### Pipeline for Lexogen's QuantSeq 3' mRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit FWD for Illumina [Lexogen original documentation](https://www.lexogen.com/quantseq-3mrna-sequencing/) * Cost-saving and streamlined globin mRNA depletion during QuantSeq library preparation * Genome-wide analysis of gene expression * Cost-efficient alternative to microarrays and standard RNA-Seq * Down to 100 pg total RNA input * Applicable for low quality and FFPE samples * Single-read sequencing of up to 9,216 samples/lane * Dual indexing and Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMIs) are available ### QuantSeq 3’ mRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit FWD for Illumina The QuantSeq FWD Kit is a library preparation protocol designed to generate Illumina compatible libraries of sequences close to the 3’ end of polyadenylated RNA. QuantSeq FWD contains the Illumina Read 1 linker sequence in the second strand synthesis primer, hence NGS reads are generated towards the poly(A) tail, directly reflecting the mRNA sequence (see workflow). This version is the recommended standard for gene expression analysis. Lexogen furthermore provides a high-throughput version with optional dual indexing (i5 and i7 indices) allowing up to 9,216 samples to be multiplexed in one lane. #### Analysis of Low Input and Low Quality Samples The required input amount of total RNA is as low as 100 pg. QuantSeq is suitable to reproducibly generate libraries from low quality RNA, including FFPE samples. See Fig.1 and 2 for a comparison of two different RNA qualities (FFPE and fresh frozen cryo-block) of the same sample.  Figure 1 | Correlation of gene counts of FFPE and cryo samples.  Figure 2 | Venn diagrams of genes detected by QuantSeq at a uniform read depth of 2.5 M reads in FFPE and cryo samples with 1, 5, and 10 reads/gene thresholds. #### Mapping of Transcript End Sites By using longer reads QuantSeq FWD allows to exactly pinpoint the 3’ end of poly(A) RNA (see Fig. 3) and therefore obtain accurate information about the 3’ UTR.  Figure 3 | QuantSeq read coverage versus normalized transcript length of NGS libraries derived from FFPE-RNA (blue) and cryo-preserved RNA (red). ### Current workflow should be used only with the single-end RNA-Seq data. It performs the following steps: 1. Separates UMIes and trims adapters from input FASTQ file 2. Uses ```STAR``` to align reads from input FASTQ file according to the predefined reference indices; generates unsorted BAM file and alignment statistics file 3. Uses ```fastx_quality_stats``` to analyze input FASTQ file and generates quality statistics file 4. Uses ```samtools sort``` and generates coordinate sorted BAM(+BAI) file pair from the unsorted BAM file obtained on the step 2 (after running STAR) 5. Uses ```umi_tools dedup``` and generates final filtered sorted BAM(+BAI) file pair 6. Generates BigWig file on the base of sorted BAM file 7. Maps input FASTQ file to predefined rRNA reference indices using ```bowtie``` to define the level of rRNA contamination; exports resulted statistics to file 8. Calculates isoform expression level for the sorted BAM file and GTF/TAB annotation file using GEEP reads-counting utility; exports results to file

Motif Finding with HOMER with custom background regions --------------------------------------------------- HOMER contains a novel motif discovery algorithm that was designed for regulatory element analysis in genomics applications (DNA only, no protein). It is a differential motif discovery algorithm, which means that it takes two sets of sequences and tries to identify the regulatory elements that are specifically enriched in on set relative to the other. It uses ZOOPS scoring (zero or one occurrence per sequence) coupled with the hypergeometric enrichment calculations (or binomial) to determine motif enrichment. HOMER also tries its best to account for sequenced bias in the dataset. It was designed with ChIP-Seq and promoter analysis in mind, but can be applied to pretty much any nucleic acids motif finding problem.

Cross-Linking ImmunoPrecipitation ================================= `CLIP` (`cross-linking immunoprecipitation`) is a method used in molecular biology that combines UV cross-linking with immunoprecipitation in order to analyse protein interactions with RNA or to precisely locate RNA modifications (e.g. m6A). (Uhl|Houwaart|Corrado|Wright|Backofen|2017)(Ule|Jensen|Ruggiu|Mele|2003)(Sugimoto|König|Hussain|Zupan|2012)(Zhang|Darnell|2011) (Ke| Alemu| Mertens| Gantman|2015) CLIP-based techniques can be used to map RNA binding protein binding sites or RNA modification sites (Ke| Alemu| Mertens| Gantman|2015)(Ke| Pandya-Jones| Saito| Fak|2017) of interest on a genome-wide scale, thereby increasing the understanding of post-transcriptional regulatory networks. The identification of sites where RNA-binding proteins (RNABPs) interact with target RNAs opens the door to understanding the vast complexity of RNA regulation. UV cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) is a transformative technology in which RNAs purified from _in vivo_ cross-linked RNA-protein complexes are sequenced to reveal footprints of RNABP:RNA contacts. CLIP combined with high-throughput sequencing (HITS-CLIP) is a generalizable strategy to produce transcriptome-wide maps of RNA binding with higher accuracy and resolution than standard RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) profiling or purely computational approaches. The application of CLIP to Argonaute proteins has expanded the utility of this approach to mapping binding sites for microRNAs and other small regulatory RNAs. Finally, recent advances in data analysis take advantage of cross-link–induced mutation sites (CIMS) to refine RNA-binding maps to single-nucleotide resolution. Once IP conditions are established, HITS-CLIP takes ~8 d to prepare RNA for sequencing. Established pipelines for data analysis, including those for CIMS, take 3–4 d. Workflow -------- CLIP begins with the in-vivo cross-linking of RNA-protein complexes using ultraviolet light (UV). Upon UV exposure, covalent bonds are formed between proteins and nucleic acids that are in close proximity. (Darnell|2012) The cross-linked cells are then lysed, and the protein of interest is isolated via immunoprecipitation. In order to allow for sequence specific priming of reverse transcription, RNA adapters are ligated to the 3' ends, while radiolabeled phosphates are transferred to the 5' ends of the RNA fragments. The RNA-protein complexes are then separated from free RNA using gel electrophoresis and membrane transfer. Proteinase K digestion is then performed in order to remove protein from the RNA-protein complexes. This step leaves a peptide at the cross-link site, allowing for the identification of the cross-linked nucleotide. (König| McGlincy| Ule|2012) After ligating RNA linkers to the RNA 5' ends, cDNA is synthesized via RT-PCR. High-throughput sequencing is then used to generate reads containing distinct barcodes that identify the last cDNA nucleotide. Interaction sites can be identified by mapping the reads back to the transcriptome.
