    Data yielded from RIViT-seq increased the number of sigma factor-gene pairs confirmed in Streptomyces coelicolor from 209 to 399. Here, grey arrows denote previously known regulation and red arrows are regulation identified by RIViT-seq; orange nodes mark sigma factors while gray nodes mark other genes. (Otani, H., Mouncey, N.J. Nat Commun 13, 3502 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-31191-w)
    Streamlining Regulon Identification in Bacteria
    Regulons are a group of genes that can be turned on or off by the same regulatory protein. RIViT-seq technology could speed up associating transcription factors with their target genes.

Agenda

Thursday, January 19
9:00-9:15 Welcome – Introductions
9:15-9:30 Workshop goals and approach
In each step below we will be discussing:

  1. Alternative methods used
  2. Proposed pipeline
  3. Implementation of confidence levels for feature prediction
  4. Benchmarking (when needed)
  5. QC and validation methods
Defining the reannotation pipeline
9:30-10.00 RNA calling methods and replication features
10:00-10:30 Repeat finding (eg CRISPR, IS elements) and Prophage finding
10:30-11:30 CDS finding
11:30-12:00 Transcription features finding (terminators, operons)
12:00-13:00 Lunch
13:00-14:00 Translational features (pseudogenes, stop codon recoding, RBS)
14:00-14:30 Feature precedence and overlap resolution
14:30-16:00 Benchmarking approach and method evaluation standards
16:00-17:00 Annotation metadata standards
Validation Methods:

  • RNA calling
    • All rRNAs and tRNAs must be present
    • rRNA sizes
  • CDS finding
    • Orthologs presence across strains of same species
    • Start site consistency
  • Repeat finding
  • Transcription features finding
  • Transcription features finding
  • Feature precedence and overlap resolution
    • No CDs should be overlapping rRNAs
Friday, January 20
9:00-12:00 Practical details of re-annotation pipeline

  1. Which genomes to re-annotate (finished genomes only? filter out model organisms?)
  2. Mapping between versions
  3. Who develops specific components or the entire pipeline
  4. Where the pipelineis implemented
  5. Where the re-annotation pipeline (or pipeline components) will run
  6. Where the data are stored and how are the provided to the community
  7. Future developments and maintenance of the pipeline
  8. Re-annotation refreshes process
12:00-13:00 Lunch
12:00-13:00 Annotation of new genomes
– Using this pipeline for the newly sequenced genomes
13:30-14:30 General discussion
