RNA-seq

RNA-seq

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...

Background:

Oxford Nanopore sequencing offers direct DNA methylation detection from ionic current signals.
Adaptive sampling enables targeted, reduced representation methylation sequencing.
Existing state-of-the-art methylation detection tools are often closed-source.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce DeepMod2, a comprehensive deep-learning framework for DNA methylation detection.
To enable accurate methylation analysis from Nanopore sequencing data using open-source software.
To provide efficient analysis on various Nanopore flowcell types and data formats.

Main Methods:

Developed DeepMod2, a framework utilizing bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) and Transformer models.
Implemented analysis for POD5 and FAST5 signal files from R9 and R10 flowcells.
Enabled efficient CPU analysis via model pruning and inference of epihaplotypes/haplotype-specific methylation.

Main Results:

DeepMod2 demonstrates comparable performance to Oxford Nanopore Technologies' proprietary Guppy and Dorado.
Achieved high correlation (r=0.96) between reduced representation and whole-genome Nanopore sequencing.
Validated performance across diverse datasets and varying sequencing scenarios.

Conclusions:

DeepMod2 is an effective open-source tool for DNA methylation detection.
It provides fast and accurate analysis for both whole-genome and adaptive Nanopore sequencing data.
The framework supports diverse flowcell types and offers advanced features like epihaplotype inference.
