The Animal Functional Genomics Resource

Lead Research Organisation: University of Edinburgh
Department Name: The Roslin Institute

Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Technical Summary

The major goal of the proposed Animal Functional Genomics Resource (AFGR) is to maximize the usefulness of publicly archived functional genomic data for farmed and companion animal species in DNA databases.

The AFGR will index all the animal functional data available in the EMBL-EBI's European Nucleotide Archive (ENA). Experiments that meet our metadata standards will be processed through our standard analysis pipelines for RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq and Methylation analysis. AFGR will use these pipelines to analyse and perform quality control (QC) on the data. Results that pass our QC metrics will then be distributed to the community and where appropriate passed to Ensembl to improve the gene and regulatory annotation of genomes.

We are involved in the FAANG metadata and data sharing committee (MDS), which is developing standards for sample, experimental and analysis metadata inside GitHub (records versions), to ensure the minimal metadata needed for data analysis are recorded in a well-structured manner. These standards use ontologies such as Uberon, the Cell Type Ontology and the Animal Trait Ontology for Livestock to provide specific descriptions for different sample and experimental attributes.

To ensure that the data being collected are useful to downstream analysis, we will establish stringent quality metrics to filter out anomalous datasets. These quality metrics will be generated as part of our standard analysis pipelines and presented to the community through both the FTP site and data portal, so that users can browse and filter data based on different QC criteria.

All the metadata stored will be fully indexed to allow for complete searching. We will also build views on the data, ensuring that users can easily browse the raw data and analysis files. This browser will also have a RESTful API, allowing programmatic access to the same metadata, enabling bulk queries and for other groups to build services on top of our data.

Planned Impact

WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS RESEARCH?
The immediate and direct beneficiaries will include scientists engaged in the international collaborative efforts to characterise the genomes of domesticated animals, in particular members of the Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes (FAANG), Genome10K and numerous target species (chicken, pig, sheep, cattle, etc.) genome consortia. The integrated, functional genome resources will also be useful to a wide range of scientists engaged in research on domesticated animals in agricultural, biomedical or animal health and welfare contexts. The resources will also benefit scientists engaged in characterising the human and other genomes by providing access to high quality functional genomics datasets for a number of vertebrates and associated software tools. The animal breeding and animal health sectors will also benefit from the project outputs through increased knowledge and access to new tools and resources. More generally, the research will benefit scientists concerned with understanding the regulation of gene expression and the genetic determinants of phenotypes.

These data will also be of value to other international consortia including the ENCODE, Epigenome Roadmap, FANTOM, International Human Epigenome and Blueprint Consortia for comparative analyses.

HOW WILL THEY BENEFIT FROM THIS RESEARCH?
The project will benefit the international FAANG and numerous target species (chicken, pig, sheep, cattle, etc.) genome consortia by developing a set of computational tools and resources to access functional genomics datasets. In particular, the project / resources will meet the FAANG project's need for a Data Coordination Centre. These new tools and resources will facilitate the detailed annotation of these genomes, such as defining transcripts, genes and regulatory regions. These annotations in turn will allow researchers and industry to annotate genome variation within specific populations of targets species to uncover causal relationships from sequence to molecular phenotype to macro-phenotype.

Computational solutions and resources will provide (i) access to available functional genomics datasets generated on farmed and companion animal species; (ii) together with high quality metadata facilitating further analysis of these data; (iii) quality metrics will be made available for these data to enable and encourage researchers to reuse these datasets to answer new biological questions; and (iv) finally, diverse functional genomics datasets will be assembled into a single resource for either direct download (raw data, metadata and QC metrics) from dedicated ftp sites or filtered from using a data portal to search for specific subsets of data.

This project will also provide training within and between collaborating labs to improve skills and foster new ways of working between biologists and computational scientists. Training and outreach will be core activities within the proposed project thus facilitating the delivery of impact. We will develop training materials and organise training workshops for postgraduate students, early stage and experienced researchers. Our outreach activities will encompass not only scientific conferences, but also events targeted at industry, e.g. through the Knowledge Transfer Network and directly with our industrial collaborators.

Description Established protocol for submission of long sequence reads (from PacBio iso-seq assay) associated with gene expression data to public database at EBI-EBI. The long read data from the Roslin Institute and now from other parts of the FAANG community that is submitted to the public archives at EMBL-EBI is being picked up by Ensembl for use in improving the assembly and annotations of key species of commercial importance for FAANG.
The Transcriptome Annotation by Modular Algorithms (for long read RNA sequencing data) software has been updated and the paper describing the software and its use has been published.
On-going support for the FAANG Data Coordination Centre and FAANG Data Portal has been secured through contributions from three EU Horizon 2020 projects.
Exploitation Route Now others can submit long read data on gene expression data e.g. members of the international FAANG consortium.
Sectors Agriculture, Food and Drink,Healthcare,Pharmaceuticals and Medical Biotechnology

 
Description Our development of a protocol for annotation of chicken transcriptome based on long sequencing reads (based on a PacBio Iso-seq assay we have developed together) can be used to annotate any species. So will have impact on other vertebrate genomes, such as those in the FAANG consortium. This work has been publicised in workshops, conferences and publications. The method is more robust and cost effective. The established protocol that is being promoted to FAANG consortia will allow the effective flow of long read data into the public archives for use in improving the assemblies and annotations available to the FAANG and wider animal communities. The establishment of the Functional Annotation of ANimal Genomes (FAANG) Data Coordination Centre and FAANG Data Portal with UKRI funding enables the research of FAANG research groups worldwide, but especially in Europe and North America. In Europe, the outputs and expertise from this UKRI funded project were valuable justifications for the three proposals that were funded as EU Horizon 2020 projects (AQUA-FAAG, BovReg and GENE-SWitCH) and the more recently awarded EuroFAANG infrastructure project. The outputs from these FAANG projects enabled by the FAANG Data Portal are contributing to improvements in models for genomic selection in farmed animal species.

PI Contribution I was a major initiator of the Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes (FAANG) initiative. Initially this initiative was known as AgENCODE. Scientists at The Roslin Institute contribute to this collaboration through membership of the FAANG Steering Committee (A Archibald, D Burt, M Watson); the Animals, Samples and Assays committee (D Burt, E Clark, M McCulloch, J Smith, M Watson, R Young); the Bioinformatics and Data Analysis committee (M Watson (co-chair), D Burt, L Eory, R Kuo, M McCulloch); Communication (A Archibald, M Watson); and Metadata and Data Sharing committee (A Archibald, S Bush, E Clark, M Watson, R Young).
Collaborator Contribution The FAANG initiative is an open international collaborative project. The project partners are developing agreed standards for i) experiments to generate the data required for functional annotation of animal genomes, ii) meta data, iii) data analysis and iv) data sharing. A few partners have secured funding for pilot data generation efforts and are producing initial data sets. The partners at EMBL-European Bioinformatics Insitute are establishing the Data Coordination Centre (DCC) function for FAANG. The EMBL-EBI partners, together with A Archibald and D Burt at The Roslin Institute are seeking funding to support the DCC in the medium term.
Impact 280 scientists from around the world have identified themselves as contributors to FAANG. To date (March 2016) the listed collaborators are limited to those institutions from which the authors of the paper below are drawn. The FAANG Consortium published their vision for this collaborative venture (The FAANG Consortium, Andersson, L., Archibald, A.L., Bottema, C.D., Brauning, R., Burgess, S.C., Burt, D.W., Casas, E., Cheng, H.H., Clarke, L., Couldrey, C., Dalrymple, B.P., Elsik, C.G., Foissac, S., Giuffra, E., Groenen, M.A., Hayes, B.J., Huang, L.S., Khattib, H., Kijas, J.W., Kim, H., Lunney, J.K., McCarthy, F.M., McEwan, J.C., Moore, S., Nanduri, B., Notredame, C., Palti, Y., Plastow, G.S., Reecy, J.M., Rohrer, G.A., Sarrapoulu, E., Schmidt, C.J., Silverstein, J., Tellam, R.L., Tixier-Boichard, M., Tosser-Klop, G., Tuggle, C.K., Vilkki, J., White, S.N., Zhao, S. and Zhou, H., 2015.

The purpose was to collaborate with national and international labs to pool RNA-seq data for the chicken (and other avian genomes). This data would provide a rich source of data for gene annotation of the chicken genome. This was used subsequently to annotate the chicken genes by the ENSEMBL gene annotation team, as part of our BBSRC funded work. We provided the organisation, advice for submission of data, provided early storage of data, and we provided all our data (20+ libraries).

Description International Avian RNA-Seq Consortium 
Organisation University of Leipzig
Country Germany 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution I organised the 6th International chick meeting, Edinburgh (2011) and also formed at that event the International Avian RNA-Seq Consortium. The purpose was to collaborate with national and international labs to pool RNA-seq data for the chicken (and other avian genomes). This data would provide a rich source of data for gene annotation of the chicken genome. This was used subsequently to annotate the chicken genes by the ENSEMBL gene annotation team, as part of our BBSRC funded work. We provided the organisation, advice for submission of data, provided early storage of data, and we provided all our data (20+ libraries).
Collaborator Contribution Many labs joined (21+) and one output was a joint publication and yearly updates to chicken genome.
