Department Name: UNLISTED
Abstract
The Genome Analysis Cent re provides access for the UK bioscience research community to high throughput sequencing technologies and bioinformatics expertise in data management, analysis and interpretation. The Centre operates multiple next generation sequencing plat forms and has installed a computing infrastructure to support the management, assembly and annotation of large sequence data sets. Working in collaboration and partnership with other BBSRC Institutes, BBSRC-funded or other grant-funded investigators and industry TGAC will: (i) undertake large-scale projects addressing BBSRC priority areas that requi re signi ficant sequencing and/or bioinformatics capacity and capability (e.g. de novo sequencing, annotation and variant analysis of important crop genomes or microbes being exploited for biological resources); (ii) undertake pilot projects to evaluate and underpin novel genomics -based research; (iii) provide access to specialist technology platforms; and (iv) enable applications requiring specialist bioinformatics expertise and large computing infrastructure. TGAC will continue to develop new software methods and tools to address community needs
and will apply these to enhance the quality and usability of community resources. The NCG will support the delivery of these activities by the core sequencing and bioinformatics teams and incorporate innovative approaches propelled by the technology development and bioinformatics research teams. It will also underpin the ISPG research programmes in novel bioinformatics tool development and exploiting novel computing infrastructure opportunities, in addition to providing opportunities to work more closely with industry through the KEC programme.

| Description | This grant was primarily to set up the genomics and bioinformatics capability at TGAC and it has been successful as the genomics lab has now delivered 100s of successful projects to the UK community. It has also undertaken projects in rapid response to pathogen outbreaks such as the Ash Die Back pathogen. The Facility has added a very successful single cell genomics component and has continued to develop its technology into long read sequencing, optical mapping and nano pore sequencing. I also continues to provide training to the UK community. |
| Exploitation Route | This is a community resource so it open for the UK community to use. |

| Description | Within the two years of funding and with support from the National Capability (NCG1), EI has delivered a range of resources to mitigate the impact of Ash Die Back disease disease on this species. This includes two high-quality genome sequence assemblies from tolerant and less tolerant trees, allowing the study of phenotypic variation. These assembly required development a new method adapted to species with high levels of heterozygosity. Our data was released into the public domain through the main NORNEX consortium webpage to promote crowdsourcing analysis, and was also provided to researchers as an online BLAST service. has been used to better understand resistance of Ash trees is being used to understand resistance and guide reforestation strategy. One wheat genome sequencing is being used to identify markers for new breeding programs and the algorithms developed are being deployed in contact research for industry and thereby generating income to further support our capability. The media campaign about this project was awarded a special commendation in the BBSRC Excellence with Impact competition 2016, for its publicity and outreach campaign reaching 1 million readers. Furthermore the expertise at EI is disseminated through our training programs and thereby helping to fill skills gaps in the bioscience community. |

| Title | Development of ChIP-Seq protocols in bread wheat |
| Description | The investigation of epigenetic marks enables deeper understanding of the gene expression regulation and the annotation of non coding functional sequences. Histone modifications (methylation, acetylation) are among the epigenetic marks most commonly assayed and specific modifications can be associated with biochemical activity (transcription, repression) and genomic elements (enhancers, promoters, coding regions). The protocols for chromatin immunoprecipation and sequencing have previously been developed for the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana, but never successfully applied to complex plant genomes such as the bread wheat. The protocols aimed to 1) improve the efficiency of chromatin extraction, 2) assay the antibodies, 3) evaluate yield and suitability of different tissues (leaves, root, spikelet, internode) fresh or frozen. |
| Type Of Material | Technology assay or reagent |

| Impact | The protocols will enable in depth understanding of gene expression regulation in bread wheat and relative crops.

| Title | MISO: An open-source LIMS for NGS sequencing centres |
| Description | MISO (Managing Information for Sequencing Operations) is an open-source Lab Information Management System (LIMS) started at the Earlham Institute, specifically designed for tracking next-generation sequencing experiments. Sequencing centres differ not only in terms of their scale and output, but also their requirements for information management. Sequencing platforms are becoming more accessible, and the efficient storage of genomic metadata is vital for large and small sequencing centres alike. Off-the-shelf solutions are often very expensive and not cost-effective for the smaller centre. Furthermore, support contracts are often required, and the extensibility of these systems is not in the hands of the metadata generators. In terms of implementation, as well as the desire to tailor an information system in-house, data formats can change and platforms can evolve rapidly. These are valid concerns for both large centres characterised by high-throughout data production and smaller scale laboratories with constrained expenditure for IT solutions, and potentially project specific metadata requirements. Hence, we are developing MISO, an open-source LIMS for recording sequencing metadata. We are using freely available tools that are industry standard, well documented, and easy to set up on minimal hardware. As a bare system, MISO can store relevant metadata based on a wide array of NGS sequencing platforms (e.g. Illumina GA, HiSeq and MiSeq, Roche 454, ABI SOLiD and PacBio RS) and public repository data submission schemas (e.g. the Sequence Read Archive at the EBI), and has many features common to bespoke and proprietary LIMS, such as secure authentication, fine-grained access control, barcode tracking, and reporting. |
| Type Of Technology | Webtool/Application |
| Year Produced | 2018 |
| Open Source License? | Yes |
| Impact | A number of new MISO releases have been made available this year, the latest being 0.2.109. The project has seen over 140 releases in its 7 year existence, and the project is 100% open source, allowing sequencing centres to have the option of a completely free solution for managing their instruments and sample tracking. |

| Title | Portcullis - Efficient and accurate detection of splice junctions from RNAseq |
| Description | Portcullis stands for PORTable CULLing of Invalid Splice junctions from pre-aligned RNA-seq data. It is known that RNAseq mapping tools generate many invalid junction predictions, particularly in deep datasets with high coverage over splice sites. In order to address this, instead for creating a new RNAseq mapper, with a focus on SJ accuracy we created a tool that takes in a BAM file generated by an RNAseq mapper of the user's own choice (e.g. Tophat2, Gsnap, STAR2 or HISAT2) as input (i.e. it's portable). It then, analyses and quantifies all splice junctions in the file before, filtering (culling) those which are unlikely to be genuine. Portcullis output's junctions in a variety of formats making it suitable for downstream analysis (such as differential splicing analysis and gene modelling) without additional work. Portcullis can also filter the original BAM file removing alignments associated with bad junctions. Both the filtered junctions and BAM files are cleaner and more usable resources which can more effectively be used to assist in downstream analyses such as gene prediction and genome annotation. |

| Impact | Porcullis has been utilised to deliver improved gene annotation for Ash doi:10.1038/nature20786 and wheat doi: 10.1101/gr.217117.116 and was utilised by the international wheat genome sequencing consortium. |

| Results and Impact | The domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) models biological processes that are highly relevant to human disease and health research such as influenza, cystic fibrosis and asthma. The recently completed draft of the ferret genome and associated annotation project (Peng et al 2014) allows us to extend research and examine the domestication of the ferret. Most domestic animals were domesticated ~10,000 years ago, but the history of the ferret's domestication is uncertain. It is likely that ferrets have been domesticated for at least 2,000 years, a similar time to the domestication of the rabbit, of which the ferret was domesticated to hunt. We have sequenced the genomes of a further eight domestic ferrets along with 12 European Polecats (M. putorius), 2 Steppe Polecats (M. eversmanii) and 4 Black-footed Ferrets (M. nigripes). In order to examine the genetics underpinning ferret domestication and compare the genomes of domestic and wild ancestor, we first need to identify the ancestral species of the domestic ferret, the identification of which is not fully resolved. |

Over two workshops, attended by young people aged 12-18 (along with some parents), participants were given an introduction to the potential of modern genome sequencing and how we can use the wealth of information gleaned from it in order to better understand, and improve our food. The attendees were enthused and inspired about the topic of food security and how modern techniques mean that DNA sequencing can be performed cheaper and faster than ever before.

Over two workshops, attended by young people aged 12-18 (along with some parents), participants were given an introduction to the potential of modern genome sequencing and how we can use the wealth of information gleaned from it in order to better understand, and improve our food. The attendees were enthused and inspired about the topic of food security and how modern techniques mean that DNA sequencing can be performed cheaper and faster than ever before.

| Results and Impact | Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and the subsequent reduction in cost have enabled the research community to sequence the genomes of many non-model organisms. Genome assemblies using next generation technologies such as Illumina show high quality nucleotide level information, but are fragmented due to the inability to retain contiguity. The absence of low-cost methods for creating high quality genome sequences from a wide range of organisms currently hampers the generation of de novo genomes for comparative genomic studies, and new methodologies and data types need to be tested to achieve this goal. We have integrated NGS with nano-channel genome mapping and developed the PCR-free Discovar Assembly BioNano Scaffolding (PDABS) pipeline to assemble cheap, contiguous and robust genomes. |

| Results and Impact | ROund up of visit to EI by researchers working on rice in Vietnam. At EI, six breeders from Hanoi learned the basics of bioinformatics, which will help them breed drought and salt resistant rice in Vietnam. Here's their story. After the success of our first trip to Vietnam to introduce 'big data' analysis to the rice breeders of the Agricultural Genetics Institute (AGI), three months on we have been delighted to host six of our collaborators and friends from Hanoi in order to teach them how to code and apply bioinformatics to their work on rice breeding (and give them a taster of an English pub lunch).

| Results and Impact | The ferret (Mustela putorius furo) models biological processes that are highly relevant to human disease and health research such as influenza, cystic fibrosis (CF) and asthma. Since CF is a multi-organ disorder, research using CF ferrets span a range of organs, thus the impact of research in this model is broad and allows for the analysis of early stages of the diseases. The recently completed draft of the ferret genome has allowed us to look more closely into ferret domestication and examine the underpinning processes of domestication from the ancestral European Polecat (M. putorius). We have sequenced eight domestic ferrets genomes and will sequence samples from European Polecat. Beneficial genetic variants increase in frequency due to positive selection together with linked neutral variants resulting in genomic islands of reduced heterozygosity between populations. By examining fixation indexes and heterozygosity between wild and domestic ferrets we can find genomic regions that have undergone selective sweeps. Using whole genome sequencing also allows us to leverage the ferret genome sequence to look into the genetic diversity and evolution of other species of wild Mustelidae. The current population of the endangered Black-footed Ferret (M. nigripes) from North America stems from only seven individuals. Using whole genome sequencing of Black-footed Ferrets from both before and after the population crash we will identify genetic diversity not present in the current population with a view to reintroducing it via genome editing technology. About two million years ago, the ancestral species of modern day Steppe Polecats (M. eversmanni) from Asia entered North America via the Bering Land Bridge and speciated into what is now Black-footed Ferret. Using a reference-free unbiased kmer approach, we will examine how closely-related Steppe Polecat is to both Black-footed Ferret and its sister species the European Polecat. |

The project between Banham Zoo and the UEA will be a Science Discovery Centre for Education themed around 'environmental responsibility' and a Knowledge Exchange HUB for Research located at Banham Zoo.The aim of the project is to build on existing work with Banham Zoo to establish a strategic relationship that will enable UEA science to be developed in collaboration with the zoo, and to use the zoo to promote the research of UEA and the wider Norwich Research Park to the 250,000 people who visit the attraction each year. It will also promote regional economic growth as it has the potential to increase visitor numbers to Banham Zoo and the wider region. The focus of the workshop was around how Banham could showcase research to the public within the envisaged facility. They also ran an innovative think-tank to consider interactivity with the science across the NRP. |

| Results and Impact | Purpose of the meeting: To discuss what steps are necessary to prepare for possible future revival of great auks including: 1. The preparation of a suitably high quality great auk genome sequence, 2. The necessity for an annotated sequence/structural information, 3. Comparisons with razorbill genome, 4. Genome editing techniques, 5. Germ cell transfer techniques, 6. (Much later) great auk release into the wild, 7. Ethical and ecological considerations. Proposed structure of the project: In order to maintain this project's independence, and because it is probably too speculative and risky for public funding, it is the intention that the project will be carried forward initially with private funding. If, following the June meeting, we decide to go ahead, then a charitable foundation may be established to run the project. |

| Results and Impact | Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and the subsequent reduction in cost have enabled the research community to sequence the genomes of many non-model organisms. Genome assemblies using next generation technologies such as Illumina show high quality nucleotide level information, but are fragmented due to the inability to retain contiguity. The absence of low-cost methods for creating high quality genome sequences from a wide range of organisms currently hampers the generation of de novo genomes for comparative genomic studies, and new methodologies and data types need to be tested to achieve this goal. We have integrated NGS with nano-channel genome mapping and developed the PCR-free Discovar Assembly BioNano Scaffolding (PDABS) pipeline to assemble cheap, contiguous and robust genomes. |
