Step-by-step protocol

We use six human PBMC scRNA-seq datasets from 10x Genomics to show step-by-step protocol of SCAPTURE. All files used/generated by this example could be found at shared Google Drive.

File preparation

  • Make sure that featureCounts and SCAPTURE are available in your PATH. User can manually add software path to PATH, like:

      export PATH=/home/software/SCAPTURE-main:$PATH
      export PATH=/home/software/subread-1.6.2-Linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH
    
  • Prepare gene annotation and genome file. In this example, we use annotation from GENCODE hg38. SCAPTURE supports references given by users for specific study. Currently, we take GENCODE GTF file as gene annotation. GENCODE GTF annotation contains "gene_name" and "gene_type" in the 8th column field, and SCAPTURE utilizes the information to annotate PAS from genes. However, it is not necessary for the future (we are working on it).

      gencode.v34.annotation.gtf
      hg38.chromsize
      genome.fa
      genome.fa.fai
    
  • If poly(A) databases file (BED format, optional) is given, SCAPTURE will annotate PAS with database information and select relatively high confident PAS during merging different samples (in SCAPTURE PASmerge step). Combined PolyADB3, PolyA-Seq, PolyASite and GENCODE poly(A) databases file: human hg38 (SupTab_KnownPASs_fourDBs.txt), mouse mm10 (mm10.SupTab_KnownPASs_fourDBs.txt).

      SupTab_KnownPASs_fourDBs.txt
    
  • For running demo, we extracted reads in chr1:1-10000000 region from aligned BAM file of PBMCs in out study. And the white cell barcode list in each sample (generated by Cell Ranger count or given by the user). All used files could be found at here.

      ls ./PBMC*
      PBMC10k.test.bam PBMC8k.test.bam PBMC6k.test.bam PBMC5k.test.bam PBMC4k.test.bam PBMC3k.test.bam
      PBMC10k.test.bam.bai PBMC8k.test.bam.bai PBMC6k.test.bam.bai PBMC5k.test.bam.bai PBMC4k.test.bam.bai PBMC3k.test.bam.bai
      PBMC10k.celllist PBMC8k.celllist PBMC6k.celllist PBMC5k.celllist PBMC4k.celllist PBMC3k.celllist
    

Run scapture annotation module

In this step, SCAPTURE will generate annotation files for downstream analysis. If your study includes multiple samples, we recommend using the same annotation files in this step to analyze all samples.

scapture -m annotation -o SCAPTURE_annotation -g genome.fa --gtf hg38.gtf --cs hg38.chromsize --extend 2000 &> annotation.log

Output files in this step:

ls SCAPTURE_annotation*
SCAPTURE_annotation.chromsize    SCAPTURE_annotation.genetype.bed           SCAPTURE_annotation.genetype.gtf
SCAPTURE_annotation.element.txt  SCAPTURE_annotation.genetype.extended.bed  SCAPTURE_annotation.genetype.txt

Run scapture PAScall module

SCAPTURE takes aligned BAM files and above annotation files as input to call peaks. The PAScall module contains several steps:

(1) perform transcript level peak calling and filtering

(2) assign peak to APA-transcript (see detail in our paper)

(3) evaluate peak with DeepPASS prediction (automatically run) and poly(A) database annotation (optional)

scapture -m PAScall -a SCAPTURE_annotation -g genome.fa -b PBMC3k.test.bam  -l 98 -o PBMC3k -p 16 --species human --polyaDB SupTab_KnownPASs_fourDBs.txt &> PBMC3k.PAScall.log
scapture -m PAScall -a SCAPTURE_annotation -g genome.fa -b PBMC4k.test.bam  -l 98 -o PBMC4k -p 16 --species human --polyaDB SupTab_KnownPASs_fourDBs.txt &> PBMC4k.PAScall.log
scapture -m PAScall -a SCAPTURE_annotation -g genome.fa -b PBMC5k.test.bam  -l 91 -o PBMC5k -p 16 --species human --polyaDB SupTab_KnownPASs_fourDBs.txt &> PBMC5k.PAScall.log
scapture -m PAScall -a SCAPTURE_annotation -g genome.fa -b PBMC6k.test.bam  -l 98 -o PBMC6k -p 16 --species human --polyaDB SupTab_KnownPASs_fourDBs.txt &> PBMC6k.PAScall.log
scapture -m PAScall -a SCAPTURE_annotation -g genome.fa -b PBMC8k.test.bam  -l 98 -o PBMC8k -p 16 --species human --polyaDB SupTab_KnownPASs_fourDBs.txt &> PBMC8k.PAScall.log
scapture -m PAScall -a SCAPTURE_annotation -g genome.fa -b PBMC10k.test.bam -l 91 -o PBMC10k -p 16 --species human --polyaDB SupTab_KnownPASs_fourDBs.txt &> PBMC10k.PAScall.log

Output files in this step:

#for the PBMC3k sample, we got:
PBMC3k.exonic.peaks.bed # filtered exonic peaks
PBMC3k.exonic.peaks.annotated.bed # assigned exonic peaks
PBMC3k.exonic.peaks.evaluated.bed # evaluated exonic peaks
PBMC3k.intronic.peaks.bed # filtered intronic peaks
PBMC3k.intronic.peaks.annotated.bed # assigned intronic peaks
PBMC3k.intronic.peaks.evaluated.bed # evaluated intronic peaks
PBMC3k.3primeExtended.peaks.annotated.bed # assigned peaks in dowstream region beyond 3' end of genes
PBMC3k.3primeExtended.peaks.evaluated.bed # evaluated peaks in dowstream region beyond 3' end of genes

The output poly(A) site file was in widely-used BED format see.

Briefly,

  • the 1-12 columns represent the spliced peak region of PAS. see

Specifically, for "evaluated.bed",

  • the 13th column is "number of refernce poly(A) sites supporting the PAS."
  • the 14th column is "DeepPASS prediction of the PAS."
  • the 15th column is "±100 nt sequence around the cleavage site of PAS."

Run scapture PASmerge module

If your study includes multiple samples, SCAPTURE can merge the peak result from all samples, and create a combined peak reference file for downstream analysis.

#create table with sample name and sample peak file path:
for i in 3 4 5 6 8 10; do echo -e PBMC${i}k"\t"PBMC${i}k.exonic.peaks.evaluated.bed; done > PBMC_ALL.exonic.peaklist
for i in 3 4 5 6 8 10; do echo -e PBMC${i}k"\t"PBMC${i}k.intronic.peaks.evaluated.bed; done > PBMC_ALL.intronic.peaklist
for i in 3 4 5 6 8 10; do echo -e PBMC${i}k"\t"PBMC${i}k.3primeExtended.peaks.evaluated.bed; done > PBMC_ALL.3primeExtended.peaklist

#run the PASmerge module
scapture -m PASmerge -o PBMC_ALL.exonic --peak PBMC_ALL.exonic.peaklist &> PBMC_ALL.PASmerge.exonic.log
scapture -m PASmerge -o PBMC_ALL.intronic --peak PBMC_ALL.intronic.peaklist &> PBMC_ALL.PASmerge.intronic.log
scapture -m PASmerge -o PBMC_ALL.3primeExtended --peak PBMC_ALL.3primeExtended.peaklist &> PBMC_ALL.PASmerge.3primeExtended.log

Output files in this step:

# Integrated peaks
PBMC_ALL.exonic.Integrated.bed
PBMC_ALL.intronic.Integrated.bed
PBMC_ALL.3primeExtended.Integrated.bed

# Integrated peaks with original record of all samples
PBMC_ALL.exonic.IntegratedSamples.bed
PBMC_ALL.intronic.IntegratedSamples.bed
PBMC_ALL.3primeExtended.IntegratedSamples.bed

Combined peaks are written in files with "Integrated.bed" BED format see,

  • the 1-12 columns represent the spliced peak region of PAS see.
  • the 13th column is "number of refernce poly(A) sites supporting the PAS."
  • the 14th column is "DeepPASS prediction of the PAS."
  • the 15th column is "±100 nt sequence around the cleavage site of PAS."

Specifically, for "IntegratedSamples.bed" (ignored, not used in downstream analysis),

  • the 16th column is the index id during peak combination.
  • the 17th column the number of peaks with the same index id.

Run scapture PASquant module

For PAS quantifying at single-cell level expression, users can chose different subset of PASs for their goals. In our paper, we recomanded select the high-cofident PASs with positive prediction and konwn sites overlapped.

# 1. Select PASs with positive prediction and konwn sites overlapped (recomanded)
perl -alne '$,="\t";print @F[0..11] if $F[12] > 0 | $F[13] eq "positive";' PBMC_ALL.exonic.Integrated.bed PBMC_ALL.intronic.Integrated.bed > PBMC_ALL.PASquant.bed

# 2. Select PASs with positive prediction (no konwn sites filter)
perl -alne '$,="\t";print @F[0..11] if $F[13] eq "positive";' PBMC_ALL.exonic.Integrated.bed PBMC_ALL.intronic.Integrated.bed > PBMC_ALL.PASquant.bed

# 3. Select all raw PASs
perl -alne '$,="\t";print @F[0..11];' PBMC_ALL.exonic.Integrated.bed PBMC_ALL.intronic.Integrated.bed > PBMC_ALL.PASquant.bed

Quantify high-confidence PASs in six PBMC samples:

scapture -m PASquant -b PBMC3k.test.bam --celllist PBMC3k.celllist --pas PBMC_ALL.PASquant.bed -o PBMC3k.PASquant &> PBMC3k.PASquant.log
scapture -m PASquant -b PBMC4k.test.bam --celllist PBMC4k.celllist --pas PBMC_ALL.PASquant.bed -o PBMC4k.PASquant &> PBMC4k.PASquant.log
scapture -m PASquant -b PBMC5k.test.bam --celllist PBMC5k.celllist --pas PBMC_ALL.PASquant.bed -o PBMC5k.PASquant &> PBMC5k.PASquant.log
scapture -m PASquant -b PBMC6k.test.bam --celllist PBMC6k.celllist --pas PBMC_ALL.PASquant.bed -o PBMC6k.PASquant &> PBMC6k.PASquant.log
scapture -m PASquant -b PBMC8k.test.bam --celllist PBMC8k.celllist --pas PBMC_ALL.PASquant.bed -o PBMC8k.PASquant &> PBMC8k.PASquant.log
scapture -m PASquant -b PBMC10k.test.bam --celllist PBMC10k.celllist --pas PBMC_ALL.PASquant.bed -o PBMC10k.PASquant &> PBMC10k.PASquant.log

Output files in this step:

PBMC3k.PASquant.KeepCell.UMIs.tsv.gz
PBMC4k.PASquant.KeepCell.UMIs.tsv.gz
PBMC5k.PASquant.KeepCell.UMIs.tsv.gz
PBMC6k.PASquant.KeepCell.UMIs.tsv.gz
