RNA-seq paired-end Workflow

Inputs dataset

  • The workflow needs a list of dataset pairs of fastqsanger.

  • As well as a gtf file with genes

  • Optional, but recommended: a gtf file with regions to exclude from normalization in Cufflinks.

    • For instance a gtf that masks chrM for the mm10 genome:
chrM	chrM_gene	exon	0	16299	.	+	.	gene_id "chrM_gene_plus"; transcript_id "chrM_tx_plus"; exon_id "chrM_ex_plus";
chrM	chrM_gene	exon	0	16299	.	-	.	gene_id "chrM_gene_minus"; transcript_id "chrM_tx_minus"; exon_id "chrM_ex_minus";

Inputs values

  • adapter sequences: this depends on the library preparation. Usually classical RNA libraries are Truseq and ISML (relatively new Illumina library) is Nextera. If you don't know, use FastQC to determine if it is Truseq or Nextera. If the read length is relatively short (50bp), there is probably no adapter.
  • reference_genome: this field will be adapted to the genomes available for STAR
  • strandness: For stranded RNA, reverse means that the read is complementary to the coding sequence, forward means that the read is in the same orientation as the coding sequence. This will help you to get from STAR only the counts corresponding to your library preparation. This is also used for the stranded coverage and for FPKM computation with cufflinks.

Processing

  • The workflow will remove adapters and low quality bases and filter out any read smaller than 15bp
  • The filtered reads are mapped with STAR with ENCODE parameters (for long RNA-seq but I use it for short also). STAR is also used to count reads per gene.
  • A multiQC is run to have an overview of the QC. This can also be used to get the strandness.
  • FPKM values for reads and transcripts are computed with cufflinks using correction for multi-mapped reads.
  • The BAM is filtered to keep only uniquely mapped reads (tag NH:i:1).
  • Coverage unstranded, and each strand independently is computed with bedtools and normalized to the number of million uniquely mapped reads (in order to compute stranded coverage the BAM is modified so second mate in pairs matches orientation of the first mate in pairs).
  • The three coverage files are converted to bigwig.

Warning

  • The coverage stranded output depends on the strandness of the library:
    • If you have an unstranded library, stranded coverages are useless
    • If you have a forward stranded library, the label matches the orientation of the first read in pairs.
    • If you have a reverse stranded library, the label matches the orientation of the second read in pairs.
