明码标价之RNA-Seq数据的内含子保留分析
前面我们的明码标价之普通转录组上游分析,受到了各大热心粉丝的吐槽,觉得太简单了我们居然还好意思收费。后面我就就加上了稍微有一点难度的《可变剪切》,不过仍然是阻挡不了粉丝无穷无尽的需求,后台有人发给我一个RNA-Seq数据的内含子保留分析需求。
我看了看粉丝发过来的文章,发表于 January 2021, 在CELL杂志的文章《Spliceosome-targeted therapies trigger an antiviral immune response in triple-negative breast cancer》,链接是:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2020.12.031
这个文章数据比较多:
SUM159 SD6 RNA-Seq #GSE163414
LM2 SD6 RNA-Seq #GSE163411
SUM159 Cytoplasmic RNA-Seq #GSE163232
SUM159 J2 dsRIPseq #GSE163188
Syngeneic model RNA-Seq #GSE163181
可以看到,主要是RNA-Seq数据啦,有两个是普通的细胞系处理前后的表达量差异情况探索,所以出图如下:
这个已经是超级简单了, 我们的明码标价之转录组常规测序服务(仅需799每个样品) 和 明码标价之普通转录组上游分析 就是对这样的 RNA-Seq拿到了表达量矩阵,然后下游分析也是平淡无奇,仅收费800,代码呢,我也多次分享了,基本上看我六年前的表达芯片的公共数据库挖掘系列推文即可;
解读GEO数据存放规律及下载,一文就够 解读SRA数据库规律一文就够 从GEO数据库下载得到表达矩阵 一文就够 GSEA分析一文就够(单机版+R语言版) 根据分组信息做差异分析- 这个一文不够的 差异分析得到的结果注释一文就够
这样的分析流程基本上绝大部分粉丝已经是无需委托我们啦,所以粉丝发给我的是 RNA-Seq数据的内含子保留分析需求,步骤如下:
Hisat2-aligned reads were filtered for proper-paired reads (-f 2 flag in SAMtools). Intron annotations were parsed from UCSC RefSeq gene annotation files and were filtered to exclude features that overlap genomic loci on the same strand. Reads mapping to introns were counted using Pysam. For each intron feature, we defined the following two read classes: (1) ''intronic’’ reads mapping at least 6 bases contiguously within the intron (2) ''spanning’’ reads with ends mapping to the flanking exons. The intron retention (IR) score was then computed as the ratio of the RPKM-normalized ''intronic’’ read density over the RPKM-normalized ''spanning’’ read den- sity. In order to compare commonly expressed IR events across samples, introns with < 10 spanning RPKM in any sample were excluded from all analyses.
对我们有ngs组学数据分析经验的人来说,其实并不难,无非就是安装几个软件,使用几个包。但对于没有学过编程的纯生物学研究者来说基本上不可能完成,也没有这样的网页工具。
但是呢,这个流程又确实是过于个性化,哪怕对我们来说很简单,也其实是耗费时间和精力需要研发调试的。
首先你需要有RNA-seq的fastq文件
如果是TCGA数据库,步骤如下:
Intron retention analysis was performed on BRCA TCGA RNA sequencing datasets (Koboldt et al., 2012). TCGA fastq reads were mapped using the STAR aligner (v2.3.1) (Dobin et al., 2013) onto the hg19/GRCh37 reference genome as previously described (Hsu et al., 2015). Level of intron retention (IR level) within each sample was calculated as the number of introns with IR scores > 0.01, as defined previously. ''High’’ and ''Low’’ IR were defined as having an IR level outside one standard deviation of the mean. RSEM normalized gene expression data from TCGA was obtained from the Broad GDAC Firehose.
一般来说,大家是很难下载TCGA数据库原始fastq文件,这个权限审核比较严厉,不过咱们数据挖掘呢完全没有毕业一直盯着TCGA数据库啊,自己领域的普通RNA-seq肯定也是不少。如果是认真搞科研,你一定会自行调研和阅读文献,找到合适的数据集。
数据挖掘的核心就是通过分类把基因数量搞少
部分粉丝看到这里,可能无法理解RNA-Seq数据的内含子保留分析的意义是什么?
其实就是多了一个维度的指标,来把你的样本分类,分类后就可以找差异。同样的我们可以看这个示例文章,感觉每个样品的IR指标,把病人分成IR高低两个组别,然后走普通的ssGSEA分析,生存分析。
这一套组合拳,大家是不是很眼熟啊?
如果你也想做自己的的RNA-Seq数据的内含子保留分析,赶快联系我们吧。(在公众号留言或者后台联系我们均可)
同样的,我们的分析仍然是明码标价,单个RNA-Seq数据的内含子保留分析收费仅需800元,因为是纯粹的基于Linux平台的各种软件脚本,所以提供你全套数据和脚本但是无法保证你能运行成功,因为你不一定有自己的服务器。
