Sample GSM3577999 Query DataSets for GSM3577999
Status Public on Dec 10, 2019
Title piwi_CRISPR_WAGO-1-FLAG_IP_sRNA-seq
Sample type SRA
 
Source name nematodes
Organism Caenorhabditis elegans
Characteristics genotype: CRISPR-cas9 piwi mutant line 1
tissue: whole worm
developmental stage: young adult, 48 hours post hatching
treatment: none
Treatment protocol none
Growth protocol Strains were maintained at 20°C, using standard methods (Brenner, 1974). Bristol N2 was the wild-type strain used.
Extracted molecule total RNA
Extraction protocol Synchronous population of 40,000 worms were harvested at 48 hours post hatching and suspended in the extraction buffer (50 mM Tris, 300 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% NP40, protease inhibitor cocktails (Fermentas)) followed by 30 strokes using a metal dounce on ice. Crude protein extracts were spun at 12,000 rpm at 4°C for 10 minutes. Protein concentration was quantified by the Bradford assay, and 1 mg of protein extract was incubated with 15 μl of packed Anti-FLAG M2 Magnetic Agarose Beads (Sigma M8823) for 1 hour at 4°C. After four washes with RIP washing buffer (50 mM Tris, 500 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% NP40, protease inhibitor cocktails (Fermentas)), the beads were resuspended in 750 µL of TRI Reagent (MRC, Inc.) to extract the immunoprecipitated RNAs. 750 µL of TRI Reagent (MRC, Inc.) was also added to 10% of protein extract before the immunoprecipitation (Input). RNA extracted from IPs and Inputs were size seleceted from 15% UREA PAGE gel.
The library preparation was performed as essentially described by Jayaprakash et al., 2011, except that a 5’ polyphosphatase (lucigen RP8092H) treatment was performed to be able to clone tri-phosphate small RNAs, and that the PAGE gel extraction after each ligation was substitute with purification by 1.8 volumes of Agencourt RNAClean XP Beads (Beckman Coulter, NC0068576) and 3 volumes of isopropanol. The multiplexed amplified libraries were further purified using PippinPrep DNA size selection with 3% gel cassettes and the following parameters for the selection: BP start (115) and the BP end (165). The purified libraries were quantified using Qubit Fluorometer High Sensitivity dsDNA assay kit (ThermoFisher, Q32851) and sequenced either on NextSeq-500 Illumina platform using the NextSeq 500/550 High Output v2 kit 75 cycles (FC-404-2005) or Illumina MiniSeq platform using MiniSeq High Output Reagent Kit 75-cycles (FC-420-1001).

Description immunoprecipitated sRNA
Data processing The 3' adaptor (TGGAATTCTCGGGTGCCAAGG) was trimmed from the raw reads using cutadapt (version 1.15)
The trimmed reads were sorted by sequence using fastq-sort (from fastq-tools version 0.8) with option -s and deduplicated using a custom haskell program, keeping the highest quality among duplicates, at any given position
The 5' and 3' 4 nt UMIs were removed from the deduplicated reads using cutadapt (version 1.15) with options -u 4 and -u -4
After removing UMIs, the reads from 18 to 24 nt were selected using bioawk version 20110810
The size-selected reads were mapped on the C. elegans genome (WBcel235) using bowtie2 (version 2.3.4.1) with options -L 6 -i S,1,0.8 -N 0
The reads that failed to map were inspected using grep -E -B 1 -A 2 "^G[ACGTN]{20,25}T+$" to detect possible reads starting with G with 20 to 25 nt followed by a poly-U tail that might have prevented the mapping, and this tail was removed from such reads using a custom haskell program before re-mapping them.
Mapped and remapped reads were used to estimate the abundance of small RNAs derived from structural RNAs using featureCounts (version 1.5.2) with options -O -s 1 --fracOverlap 1 and annotations corresponding to tRNA, snRNA, snoRNA, rRNA or RNA (as annotated in the iGenome distribution of WBcel235 obtained at ftp://igenome:G3nom3s4u@ussd-ftp.illumina.com/Caenorhabditis_elegans/Ensembl/WBcel235/Caenorhabditis_elegans_Ensembl_WBcel235.tar.gz)
The abundance of non-structural RNAs was estimated by subtracting the above counts from the number of mapped and remapped reads.
Initially mapped reads were classified using a custom python program according to their length, composition and on the annotations on which they mapped. Reads that didn't match miRNA and piRNA annotations were considered as potential endo-siRNAs.
The potential endo-siRNAs of size 21 to 23 nt that started with G were classified as “si_22G” if they mapped antisense to annotation belonging to the following categories: DNA transposons, RNA transposons, satellites, simple repeats (as annotated in http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/ce11/database/rmsk.txt.gz) or pseudogene or protein-coding genes (as annotated in the iGenome distribution of WBcel235 obtained at ftp://igenome:G3nom3s4u@ussd-ftp.illumina.com/Caenorhabditis_elegans/Ensembl/WBcel235/Caenorhabditis_elegans_Ensembl_WBcel235.tar.gz)
The “si_22G” reads were re-mapped on the C. elegans genome (WBcel235) using bowtie2 (version 2.3.4.1) with options -L 6 -i S,1,0.8 -N 0
The resulting alignment was used to generate the normalized bigwig file using millions of non-structural RNAs as normalizer. This was done with a custom bash script using bedtools (version 2.27.1), bedops (version 2.4.26) and bedGraphToBigWig (version 4)
Genome_build: C. elegans ce11 (WBcel235)
Supplementary_files_format_and_content: bigwig files allowing to display the normalized abundance of “si_22G” RNAs along the genome
