Problems solved by technology

Combined with structural and sequence bias, this modification can make sequencing and discovery of 2'OMe-modified RNAs difficult, and sequencing libraries are biased against modified sRNAs (Dard-Dascot et al., (2018) BMC Genomics, 19, 118 )

Embodiment 1

[0082] Example 1: Splint Ligation for Generation of RNA-Seq Libraries in a Single Reaction Vessel

[0083]In this example, the input RNA was a pool of microRNAs comprising 962 synthetic miRNAs (MiRXplore from Miltenyi Biotec (Auburn, CA)) with equimolar concentrations. TM library). All total RNA samples were obtained from BioChain, Inc. (Newark, CA). All oligonucleotides were synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. (Coralville, IA). use figure 1 The workflow shown in first ligates DNA adapters to the 3' end and then ligates RNA adapters to the 5' end of each input RNA in the cohort to form a sequencing library. 5' RNA adapters (double-stranded molecules with 5' single-stranded extensions) can be replaced with RNA hybrids, where the RNA is the upper strand suitable for hybridization to the 5' end of the target RNA using T4 RNA ligase, and the lower strand can be is DNA or RNA.

[0084] To reduce the secondary structure of the input RNA, heat the RNA to 70°C and th...

Embodiment 2

[0099] Example 2: Splint Ligation Enables Improved Library Yield Generation from Human Brain Total RNA

[0100] Three different methods for constructing RNA libraries were compared using the same amount of starting material (500 ng of human brain total RNA). These are (1) Illumina Small RNA Library Prep Kit (RS-200-0012, Illumina, SanDiego, CA), (2) Bioo Scientific Small RNA-seq kit V3 (NOVA-5132-05, BiooScientific, Austin, TX), and (3) the RNA library preparation method based on splint ligation described in Example 1. Prepare libraries according to manufacturer's instructions. Assess library yield with a bioanalyzer. Data shown are averages of 6-8 technical replicates. Yields were normalized to 9 PCR cycles. As a result, splint ligation-based RNA library preparation methods yield higher yields than Illumina and Bioo Scientific methods (see Figure 5 ).

Embodiment 3

[0101] Example 3: Demonstrating the benefit of cutting 3' single-stranded extensions at the 3' adapter prior to the second ligation step

[0102] RNA libraries were generated as described in Example 1, where the cleavage site in the 3' adapter was deoxyuridine, using (NEB M5505) to remove the single strand extension on the lower strand. Input RNA: 50 fmol of miRXplore input RNA and 2.5 pmol of Adapter 2 were ligated. Cleavage was performed either before ("pre-cut") or after ("post-cut") the second ligation (where 5.0 pmol of Adapter 1 was ligated to the 5' end of the RNA). The results are shown in Figure 3C middle. When USER cleavage was performed before the second ligation, primer dimer formation was reduced while target miRNA yield was increased when compared to USER cleavage after the second ligation. When comparing libraries from the two methods, cleavage before the second ligation resulted in a target-to-adaptor-dimer ratio of 7:1, while cleavage after the second li...

Abstract

The title of the invention is polynucleotide adapter design for reduced bias. Compositions and methods of use are provided that among other things, allow for efficient adapter ligation to small RNAs.Embodiments of the compositions include partially double stranded polynucleotides for use as 3' adapters that contain a cleavable linker positioned between a single-stranded region and a doublestranded region. Upon ligating the 3' adapters, the single-stranded region is released by cleaving the cleavable linker.

Description

[0001] cross reference [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 839,191, filed April 26, 2019, and U.S. Application No. 16 / 796,113, filed February 20, 2020, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Background technique [0003] The preferential ligation of adapters to some single-stranded RNAs in an RNA library and not to others leads to an inaccurate profile of library composition. To reduce bias, adapters with single-stranded extensions that act as splints can be used. However, such adapters can be easily partially ligated to each other due to their excess concentration relative to the target RNA. Adapter dimer formation is particularly problematic when the target RNA is small, since ligation artifacts such as adapter dimers may not be readily distinguishable from the target RNA based on size. Therefore, standard size separation techniques such as electrophoresis are not effective. Thus, current methods are chal...
