Full-Length mRNA Sequencing-Nanopore

RNA sequencing has been an invaluable tool for comprehensive transcriptome analysis. Doubtlessly, traditional short-read sequencing achieved numerous important development in here. Nevertheless, it often encounters limitations in full-length isoform identifications, quantification, PCR bias.

Nanopore sequencing distinguishes itself from other sequencing platforms, in that the nucleotides are read directly without DNA synthesis and generates long read at tens of kilobases. This empowers direct read-out crossing full-length transcripts and tackling the challenges in isoform-level studies.

For animals: RIN≥7.5;

5.0≥28S/18S≥1.0;

limited or no baseline elevation

Tissue: Weight(dry): ≥1 g

*For tissue smaller than 5 mg, we recommend to send flash frozen(in liquid nitrogen) tissue sample.

Cell suspension: Cell count = 3×106 - 1×107

*We recommend to ship frozen cell lysate. In case that cell counts smaller than 5×105, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen is recommended, which is preferable for micro extraction.

Blood samples: Volume≥1 ml

Recommended Sample Delivery

Container: 2 ml centrifuge tube (Tin foil is not recommended)

Sample labeling: Group+replicate e.g. A1, A2, A3; B1, B2, B3... ...

Shipment: 2、Dry-ice: Samples need to be packed in bags and buried in dry-ice.

  1. RNAstable tubes: RNA samples can be dried in RNA stabilization tube(e.g. RNAstable®) and shipped in room temperature.

    Alternative splicing identification and isoform-level quantification by nanopore full-length transcriptome sequencing

    Published:  Nature Communications,2020

    Sequencing strategy:

    Grouping: 1. CLL-SF3B1(WT); 2. CLL-SF3B1(K700E mutation); 3. Normal B-cells

    Sequencing strategy: MinION 2D library sequencing, PromethION 1D library sequencing; short-read data from same samples

    Sequencing platform: Nanopore MinION; Nanopore PromethION;

    Key results

    1.Isoform-level Alternative Splicing Identification

    Long-read sequences empowers identification of mutant SF3B1K700E -altered splice sites at isoform-level. 35 alternative 3′SSs and 10 alternative 5′SSs were found to be significantly differentially spliced between SF3B1K700E and SF3B1WT. 33 of the 35 alterations were newly discovered by long-read sequences.

     2.Isoform-level Alternative Splicing quantification

    Expression of intron retention(IR) isoforms in SF3B1K700E and SF3B1WT  were quantified based on nanopore sequences, revealing a global down-regulation of IR isoforms in SF3B1K700E .
