Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, and in particular to a method for assembling libraries from single cells and full-length spatial transcriptomes based on next-generation sequencing and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Next-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as high-throughput sequencing, is a DNA sequencing technology developed based on PCR and gene chips. It can rapidly sequence the base pairs of DNA or RNA samples. NGS supports a wide range of applications, including gene expression profiling, chromosome counting, epigenetic change detection, and molecular analysis, and is driving the development and realization of the future of personalized medicine. It determines gene sequences by performing parallel sequencing on multiple small DNA fragments. Single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics are emerging sequencing methods under next-generation sequencing. Single-cell RNA sequencing refers to a new technology that performs high-throughput sequencing and analysis of RNA at the single-cell level. Unlike the results obtained from conventional tissue or cell population sequencing, single-cell sequencing can deeply mine specific information. Spatial transcriptomics is a technology that analyzes and describes the expression profiles of specific cell types in a spatial dimension to understand the expression differences between organs, tissues, and pathological states. It can resolve the transcriptome status of tissues in different spatial locations.

[0003] However, existing next-generation sequencing-based methods either capture only the 3' end or only the 5' end of the mRNA, failing to capture the full-length mRNA. Currently, there are two main methods for intramolecular circularization ligation: direct blunt-end ligation and circularization of large DNA fragments using recombinase systems. Direct blunt-end ligation relies solely on the collision probability of the large DNA fragment's own twisting, resulting in low circularization efficiency, typically below 10%. Circularization of large DNA fragments using recombinase systems also presents challenges. For example, it generates a large proportion of adapter fragments with recombination sites at both ends in different orientations, preventing recombination. Furthermore, the recombination efficiency of recombinase systems in vitro is low. These factors contribute to the overall circularization efficiency of the system not exceeding 10%. The most similar technology is full-length transcriptome sequencing based on third-generation sequencing. Although it can capture full-length mRNA information, the length of mRNA is relatively short (usually around 1.5kb), which does not quite match the fragment length (10-20kb or more) required by conventional third-generation sequencers. Therefore, it often suffers from problems such as low detection efficiency and low accuracy, and its sequencing price is also relatively expensive.

[0004] Current technologies cannot capture the full-length information of mRNA, thus making it impossible to construct libraries for single-cell and full-length spatial transcriptomes based on next-generation sequencing. Therefore, how to obtain complete single-cell and full-length spatial transcriptomes of mRNA using next-generation sequencing has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for library construction based on second-generation sequencing of single-cell and spatial full-length transcriptomes and its application. This method captures the full-length information of the entire mRNA and, based on the single-cell / spatial tags and specific molecular tags common to the 3' and 5' sequencing data, enables the construction of libraries of single-cell and spatial full-length transcriptomes on the basis of second-generation sequencing.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for library construction based on next-generation sequencing for single-cell and spatial full-length transcriptome reconstruction, wherein the library construction method includes the following steps:

[0010] (S3) The fragmented cDNA from step (S2) is screened, amplified, and sequenced.

[0011] This invention creatively modifies and intramolecularly circularizes normal 3' (or 5') end single-cell / space transcriptome library cDNA molecules, linking their 5' ends to the original 3' end single-cell / space tags and specific molecular tags. Subsequently, by specifically enriching the cDNA containing the 5' end, single-cell / space tags, and specific molecular tags, and performing next-generation sequencing, not only can the 5' end cDNA information be obtained, but also the full-length cDNA can be assembled using single-cell / space tags and specific molecular tags based on the original 3' end cDNA information, thereby obtaining complete full-length mRNA information.

[0013] Preferably, in step (S1), the fragment size of the single-cell tag is 5-100bp, for example, it can be 5bp, 10bp, 20bp, 40bp, 60bp, 80bp or 100bp, etc.

[0037] Preferably, in step (A), the magnetic beads comprise streptavidin magnetic beads.

[0038] Preferably, in step (A), the incubation temperature is 20-30℃, and the incubation time is 20-40 min. The 20-30℃ can be, for example, 20℃, 22℃, 24℃, 26℃, 28℃, or 30℃. The 20-40 min can be, for example, 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 35 min, or 40 min.

[0040] Preferably, in step (B), the primers required for library construction for amplification include SEQ ID NO:3 and SEQ ID NO:4.

[0041] Preferably, in step (B), the fragment screening involves selecting fragments containing single-cell tags or spatial tags, as well as fragments with specific molecular tags and 5' cDNA. This allows for the assembly of the full-length transcriptome based on the corresponding sequence information obtained from subsequent sequencing.

[0042] Secondly, the present invention provides the application of the method for constructing single-cell and spatial full-length transcriptome libraries based on next-generation sequencing as described in the first aspect in the construction of single-cell and spatial transcriptome sequencing libraries.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0044] 1. This invention uses intramolecular ligation to cleverly link the 5' cDNA and 3' molecular tag, which cannot be detected simultaneously in conventional next-generation high-throughput sequencing, thereby making it possible to detect the 5' cDNA and 3' molecular tag based on conventional next-generation high-throughput sequencing.

[0045] 2. This invention uses streptavidin magnetic beads to specifically enrich fragmented 5' cDNA and 3' molecular tag fragments containing biotin tags. This method can accurately and effectively enrich target fragments, and is simple to operate and does not easily destroy fragment information.

[0046] 3. This invention creatively incorporates single-cell / spatial tags and specific molecular tags common to 3' and 5' sequencing data, enabling the splicing of full-length transcriptomes at the single-molecule level. Attached Figure Description

[0053] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. However, the following examples are merely simplified examples of the present invention and do not represent or limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is determined by the claims.

The specific experimental materials and their sources listed in the following embodiments are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] This embodiment focuses on primer design.

[0064] The database construction principle of this invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, firstly, cDNA from mouse brain tissue obtained using conventional single-cell and spatial transcriptomics techniques is amplified using circular primers modified with U bases and biotin. This results in all amplified fragments having U bases and biotin at their 3' ends. U bases can be specifically cleaved by certain enzymes (such as USER enzyme), and the resulting sticky ends can be ligated intramolecularly (e.g., by T4 DNA ligase). The ligated product is then fragmented by transposase (Tn5), which adds specific adapter sequences to both ends. Because the tagged portion of the fragmented product is biotin-modified, it can be easily enriched using streptavidin magnetic beads. The enriched product is then amplified using specific library construction primers to extract the 5' cDNA sequence and molecular tag portion, and then subjected to next-generation high-throughput sequencing to obtain the sequence information of the 5' end of the cDNA and the molecular tag portion. Since both the 3' and 5' sequencing data contain unique molecular tags (UMIs), they can be further combined with 3' sequencing data obtained from conventional single-cell and spatial transcriptome sequencing to perform sequencing fragment splicing based on shared UMIs, thereby ultimately obtaining single-molecule-level full-length transcriptome information with single-cell or spatial precision.
