  • Tissue specific 3' UTRs using DEXSeq

    I used IsoSCM to identify alternative 3' UTRs with different lengths in different tissue types(output files are GTFs containing tissue specific 3' UTRs), then I want to quantify the differential usage of these alternative 3' UTRs across different tissue types. I know that neither Ensembl nor UCSC GTF reference file contains the tissue specific 3' UTRs, so I tried to re-annotate IsoSCM output GTF files with reference GTF. The idea is that I want to get a GTF file containing all tissue specific 3' UTRs, which can be used for the following dexseq_count step.

    But, if multiple 3' UTRs/terminal exons (same start site, different stop sites) are annotated with same transcript ID, dexseq_prepare_annotation will only include the longest one in the GFF output.
    Here is an example of two possible 3' UTRs of gene Fubp1 in thymus GTF file:
    Code:
    chr3	sol	exon	152232395	152233253	.	+	.	gene_id "Fubp1"; gene_name "Fubp1"; p_id "P24872"; transcript_id "NM_057172"; tss_id "TSS5999";
    chr3	sol	exon	152232395	152232485	.	+	.	gene_id "Fubp1"; gene_name "Fubp1"; p_id "P24872"; transcript_id "NM_057172"; tss_id "TSS5999";
    Two different 3' UTRs of gene Fubp1 in liver GTF file:
    Code:
    chr3	sol	exon	152232395	152233965	.	+	.	gene_id "Fubp1"; gene_name "Fubp1"; p_id "P24872"; transcript_id "NM_057172"; tss_id "TSS5999";
    chr3	sol	exon	152232395	152233885	.	+	.	gene_id "Fubp1"; gene_name "Fubp1"; p_id "P24872"; transcript_id "NM_057172"; tss_id "TSS5999";
    One more 3' UTR of gene Fubp1 in spleen GTF file:
    Code:
    chr3	sol	exon	152232395	152232532	.	+	.	gene_id "Fubp1"; gene_name "Fubp1"; p_id "P24872"; transcript_id "NM_057172"; tss_id "TSS5999";
    After merging them and put through dexseq_prepare_annotation step, I only got one exon to represent 3' UTR:
    Code:
    chr3	dexseq_prepare_annotation.py	exonic_part	152232395	152233965	.	+	.	transcripts "NM_057172"; exonic_part_number "018"; gene_id "Fubp1"
    So, I am wondering how can I include all alternative 3' UTRs in the GFF file, then I can use it to count for the usage of these alternative 3' UTRs ??

    Cheers

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
