Transcriptome Alignment & Bedgraph – Olympia oyster transcriptome with Olurida_v080 genome assembly

Yesterday, I produced a bedgraph file of our Olympia oyster RNAseq data coverage using our Olurida_v081 genome.

I decided that I wanted to use the Olurida_v080 version instead (or, in addtion to?), as the Olurida_v080 version has not been size restricted (the Olurida v081 version is only contigs >1000bp). I feel like we could miss some important regions, so wanted to run this analysis using all of the genome data we currently have available. Additionally, this will be consistent with my previous Bismark (DNA methylation analysis).

Used HISAT2 on our HPC Mox node to align our RNAseq reads to our Olurida_v080 genome assembly:

SBATCH script file:

NOTE: For brevity sake, I have not listed all of the input RNAseq files below. Please see the full script, which is linked above.

The script performs the following functions:

  • Genome indexing
  • RNAseq alignment to genome
  • Convert SAM to BAM
  • Sort and index BAM
  • Determine RNAseq coverage

Transcriptome Alignment – Olympia oyster RNAseq reads aligned to genome with HISAT2

Yesterday’s attempt at producing a bedgraph was a failure and a prodcuct of a major brain fart. The worst part is that I was questioning what I was doing the entire time, but still went through with the process! Yeesh!

The problem was that I tried to take our Trinity-assembled transcriptome and somehow align that to our genome. This can’t work because each of those assemblies don’t know the coordinates used by the other. So, as was the case, you end up with a bedgraph that shows zero coverage for all genome contigs.

Anyway, here’s the correct procedure!

Used HISAT2 on our HPC Mox node to align our RNAseq reads to our Olurida_v081 genome assembly:

SBATCH script files:

PERFORM GENOME INDEXING & ALIGNMENT
20180925_oly_RNAseq_genome_hisat2.sh

SORT & INDEX ALIGNMENT OUTPUT
20180925_oly_RNAseq_genome_sort_bam.sh


RESULTS

Output folder:

Sorted BAM file (58GB):

Will get the sorted BAM file converted to a bedgraph showing genome coverage for use in IGV.

Bedgraph – Olympia oyster transcriptome (FAIL)

Progress on generating bedgraphs from our Olympia oyster transcriptome continues.

Transcriptome assembly with Trinity completed 20180919.

Then, aligned the assembled transcriptome to our genome using Bowtie2.

Finally, I used BEDTools to convert the BAM to BED to bedgraph.

This required an initial indexing of our Olympia oyster genome FastA using samtools faidx tool.

Bedgraph file (for IGV):


This doesn’t appear to have worked properly. Here’s a view of the bedgraph file:


track type=bedGraph

Contig1 0   87411   0
Contig2 0   139250  0

Contig6 0   94893   0

Contig8 0   95943   0

I’d expect multiple entries for each contig (ideally), indicating start/stop positions for where transcripts align within a given contig. However, this appears to simply be a list of all the genome contigs and their lengths (Start=0, Stop=n).

I would expect to see something li

I’ll look into this further and see where this pipeline goes wrong.

Sequencing – PGS Hi 4 (PGS2/COX2)

Sent plasmid prep to ASU (5uL of plasmid + 1uL of 10uM M13F/R). SJW01 = M13F, SJW02 = M13R.

Results:

Sequencing looks great! Definitely have a portion of the second isoform of COX/PGS!! Here’s the result of the consensus BLASTed in GenBank>Nucleotide (others)>blastn:

Top hit in the db is COX1/PGS1, and, clearly, there are differences between the two sequences confirming that we have the second isoform (COX2/PGS2). Will design more RACE primers in hopes of obtaining the full-length cDNA sequence.
