RNA-seq

10.3K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell

12.4K
Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Cancer Research
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Cancer genomes frequently exhibit thousands of structural rearrangements (SVs).
  • Accurate characterization of SVs is crucial for cancer target identification, diagnostics, and personalized medicine.
  • This study, part of the SEQC2 Consortium, focused on a breast cancer reference cell line.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish and evaluate a consensus structural variant (SV) call set for a cancer reference cell line.
  • To compare the performance of multiple next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms for SV detection.
  • To provide an actionable guide for improving SV detection sensitivity and accuracy in cancer genomes.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic investigation of somatic SVs using Illumina short-read, 10X Genomics linked reads, PacBio long reads, Oxford Nanopore long reads, and Hi-C.
  • Establishment of a consensus SV call set comprising deletions, duplications, insertions, inversions, translocations, and breakends.
  • Orthogonal validation using PCR, Affymetrix arrays, Bionano optical mapping, and RNA-seq fusion gene identification.

Main Results:

  • A consensus SV call set of 1788 structural variants was established for the reference cancer cell line.
  • Multiple NGS platforms were evaluated, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses for SV determination.
  • A significant subset of identified SVs was validated through orthogonal methods, confirming high confidence.

Conclusions:

  • A high-confidence consensus SV call set was successfully generated for the reference cancer cell line.
  • The study provides valuable insights into the performance of various NGS technologies for SV detection.
  • Findings offer guidance to enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of cancer genome SV detection.
