Difficult Without Long Read Lengths • Analyzed repeat complexity of 2,267 complete bacteria and archaea • Divided into three classes of complexity • With read lengths in excess of 7 kb, automated closure of Class I and II genomes possible • All but the longest Class III repeats can be resolved Koren et al (2013) http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.3752 http://www.cbcb.umd.edu/software/PBcR/closure/report.log.krona.html
Sequencing reads with short reads for error correction • Requires multiple types of data, (at least) two library preps, different sequencing technologies…
data from single, long-insert library – Longest reads for continuity – All reads for high consensus accuracy • Now available through SMRT® Portal in SMRT Analysis v2.0.1 Hierarchical Genome Assembly Process (HGAP) Chin et al (2013), “Nonhybrid, finished microbial genome assemblies from long-read SMRT sequencing data” Nature Methods. doi 10.1038/nmeth.2474
achieve accuracy >Q50 (i.e. > 99.999%) using only PacBio reads • How Quiver works – Takes multiple reads of a given DNA template, outputs best guess of template’s identity – QV-aware hidden Markov model to account for sequencing errors; a greedy algorithm to find the maximum likelihood template – Similar underlying algorithm currently used for CCS generation • Links: – www.pacbiodevnet.com/quiver – https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/GenomicConsensus 15 Quiver Aligned Reads Reference Consensus fasta/fastq Variants.gff
Assembly Complete genomes with PacBio reads alone Combine technologies for best of both worlds 2 3 2 3 1 1 Scaffold Establish framework for genome and resolve ambiguities Span Gaps Polish genomic regions with up to 10x improvement
contigs from previous draft assemblies as additional inputs into HGAP preassembly step – Use HBAR-DTK (research implementation of HGAP available on DevNet) • Potential advantages over standard hybrid-assembly approach – Longer contigs provide better mappability compared to short-reads – Reduced compute requirements Contigs
GeneID exons / gene Mean exon size (bp) Mean protein size (aa) Initial Illumina®/454® Assemblies 10.4 2.16 170 123 Hybrid HGAP (PacBio® + Illumina®/454® contigs) 146 3.24 217 284 Pea aphid (Acyr 2.0) 27 2.84 223 212 • GeneID using an aphid model was run on assemblies to predict gene content • Increased continuity of hybrid HGAP assembly yields more exons / gene and higher average protein size • These statistics are more consistent with the published pea aphid assembly, and possibly even better Collaboration with UIUC
RS, the contigs from our de novo assembly of the 400Mbp rice genome are several fold better than the state-of-the- art ALLPATHS-LG assembly using short reads” Michael C.

DNA Template Preparation Sequencing Analysis • Analysis strategy depends on project objectives, genome size & complexity, as well as the quality and type of data available Method Project Objectives Available Inputs Genome Sizes Hierarchical Draft or finished assembly • >70x PacBio® long-insert library < 130 MB Hybrid Draft or finished assembly • 20-50x of PacBio long-insert library • 20-50x shorter read library (CCS/454®/Illumina®) Any size Scaffolding Improve existing assembly • 10X PacBio long-insert library • high-confidence contigs from existing assembly < 200 MB Gap Filling Fill gaps in existing assembly • 5-10x PacBio long-insert library • scaffolds from mate-pair assembly < 4 GB
to maximize potential performance • No amplification step during library preparation • Recommendations: – Take care during extraction to avoid gDNA damage & avoid contaminants – Use extraction methods or kits that produce very high molecular weight gDNA – If contaminants are present, purify starting DNA material prior to library prep – Accurately quantify and qualitatively evaluate gDNA – Include DNA damage repair step in library prep 28 Experimental Design Isolate DNA Template Preparation Sequencing Analysis
• Double-stranded DNA Sample (dsDNA) • Minimized freeze-thaw cycles • No exposure to high temp (>65° C) • No exposure to pH extremes (<6 or >9) • Minimize gDNA vortexing and pipetting; pipette gently • OD260/280 between 1.8 and 2.0 • OD260/230 between 2.0 and 2.2 • No insoluble material • No RNA contamination • No exposure to UV or intercalating fluorescent dyes • No chelating agents, divalent metal cations, denaturants, or detergents • No carryover contamination (e.g. polysaccharides) from starting organism 29
is highly dependent on sample quality & library insert size • Potential sources of variability – Sample damage – Sample degradation – Contaminants – Shearing size & distribution • Important to QC sample if performing size section • Use of XL DNA Sequencing Kit 1.0 (P4 pol + XL Seq Kit) with known low- quality or short-insert libraries is Not Recommended – Unlikely to see subread length gain compared to P4 Binding Kit + C2 Sequencing Kit condition (P4-C2), but will see a drop in consensus accuracy & throughput 33
P4 Enzyme for High Accuracy & Long Read Lengths • For most applications where consensus accuracy matters, would recommend combining P4 Binding kit with DNA Sequencing Kit (P4 – C2) • Optional XL DNA Sequencing Kit – Slightly longer read lengths, but at a cost of consensus accuracy – Better suited for scaffolding, spanning structural rearrangements, spanning long repeats, etc. 36 DNA Template Prep Kits • DNA Template Prep Kit 2.0 (250 bp ‒ <3 kb) • DNA Template Prep Kit 2.0 (3 kb ‒ <10 kb) DNA/Polymerase Binding Kit • New: DNA/Polymerase Binding Kit P4 DNA Sequencing Kit • DNA Sequencing Kit 2.0 • XL DNA Sequencing Kit 1.0 (Optional)
SMRT® Cell, but can increase multiply loaded ZMWs • High Quality (HQ) region filtering can “rescue” some multiply loaded ZMWs, increasing total number of reads / SMRT Cell • Reads that have undergone HQ filtering have – Shortened read lengths – Lower accuracy compared to single- loaded ZMWs • These are less useful reads for de novo assembly • Loading can be optimized through titration 38 prod=0 prod=1 prod=2

critical to lower read coverage requirements • Total single-pass coverage for best results: > 70X • SMRT® Portal imposed 10 MB genome size limit (safely within our min compute requirements) • SMRT Pipe HGAP tested to 100 MB genome size (4 GB seed read limit) – Larger genomes can be processed with HGAP Developer Kit (DevNet) BUT this has not been extensively validated • Additional/latest information can be found in HGAP wiki or by contacting Field BFX Group https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/Bioinformatics-Training/wiki/HGAP 44 Watch Training Video: Bacterial Assembly and Epigenetic Analysis
on BFX wiki site • Modularized for even more control: – Run P_PreAssembler with SMRT® Pipe on the command-line – Run Celera® Assembler on the command-line – Use Quiver option of P_GenomicConsensus to polish the assembly – Additional tweaks to filtering and trimming may improve assembly More details here: https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/Bioinformatics-Training/wiki/HGAP https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/Bioinformatics-Training/wiki/HGAP-2.0 47
of contigs – N50: Equal to the size of the contig found if you sort contigs by size and walk to the contig that represents 50% of the total sequence − N50 = 10 bp − Mean contig length = 3 bp – Max contig size • Limitation of these metrics: – They do not capture information about assembly accuracy! − Large scale mis-assemblies − Base level errors – There might be more than one chromosome (plasmid, phage, etc.) – Contaminants may contribute to a contig (such as a cloning vector) 48 10 4 1 1 1 1
Assembly Results – Ensure minimum coverage and subread length thresholds met – Check for coverage uniformity − Spikes/valleys evidence of mis-assemblies − Low coverage, short contigs may be discarded – Look for evidence of plasmids in degenerates file – Ensure at least 90% of reads are mapping to assembly – Evaluate circularity of chromosomes and plasmids (Gepard) • Additional Ways to Improve Final Assembly – Parameter optimization of HGAP – Manual trimming of ends may be needed for circular genomes – Minimus2 and AHA to join contigs • Post Assembly Analysis – Methylation Detection and Motif Analysis) – Phage insertions (PHAST (http://phast.wishartlab.com) 49 https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/Bioinformatics-Training/wiki/Finishing-Bacterial-Genomes
