### 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

Differential gene expression analysis ===================================== Differential gene expression analysis based on the negative binomial distribution Estimate variance-mean dependence in count data from high-throughput sequencing assays and test for differential expression based on a model using the negative binomial distribution. DESeq1 ------ High-throughput sequencing assays such as RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq or barcode counting provide quantitative readouts in the form of count data. To infer differential signal in such data correctly and with good statistical power, estimation of data variability throughout the dynamic range and a suitable error model are required. Simon Anders and Wolfgang Huber propose a method based on the negative binomial distribution, with variance and mean linked by local regression and present an implementation, [DESeq](http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/DESeq.html), as an R/Bioconductor package DESeq2 ------ In comparative high-throughput sequencing assays, a fundamental task is the analysis of count data, such as read counts per gene in RNA-seq, for evidence of systematic changes across experimental conditions. Small replicate numbers, discreteness, large dynamic range and the presence of outliers require a suitable statistical approach. [DESeq2](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/DESeq2.html), a method for differential analysis of count data, using shrinkage estimation for dispersions and fold changes to improve stability and interpretability of estimates. This enables a more quantitative analysis focused on the strength rather than the mere presence of differential expression.

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.
