Dissecting human brain development at high resolution using RNA-seq
Leonardo Collado-Torres @fellgernon #ENAR2015
motivating problem: identify and validate regions of the genome that change expression during brain development
Fetal Infant
Child Teen
Adult 50+
6 / group, N = 36
Jaffe et al, Nat. Neuroscience, 2014
LIBD data
• Gender balanced • Similar other covariates
like RNA Integrity Number (RIN)
RNA-seq reads
Genome (DNA)
RNA transcripts (many possible variants)
Measuring gene expression: RNA-seq
Adapted from @jtleek
derfinder: input data n samples →
~348 million nt 11.24%
coverage
Rows with at least 1 sample with coverage > 5
Adapted from @jtleek
derfinder: statistical model (every base)
• Null model
• Alternative Model
• F-statistic
i: base-pair j: sample
Identifying DERs

Cutoff
Details • Rank DERs by area • 1000 permutations • Control FWER (≤ 5%) by max area
per permutation
Results
63,135 DERs
20.509 Corresponds to p-value 10-08

Replicating DERs
Fetal Infant
Child Teen
Adult 50+
6 / group, N = 36
Replication data Null:
Alt:
Models
Cutoff
Details Per sample and per DER calculate average expression
Results
50,650 DERs replicated
Single F-statistic per DER p-value < 0.05

Age-associated DERs lack regional specificity in the human brain
BrainSpan data Jaffe et al, Nat. Neuroscience, 2014
Age-associated DERs are conserved in the developing mouse cortex

Expression changes across development may represent a changing neuronal phenotype
Jaffe et al, Nat. Neuroscience, 2014
Estimation method: Houseman et al, BMC Bioinformatics, 2012
motivating problem: identify and validate regions of the genome that change expression during brain development 1. derfinder permits discovery of novel
expressed regions 2. we identified & validated gene
expression changes the developing brain 3. we have developed tools for
reproducible/shareable reporting
