nanornaqtl

A comprehensive toolkit for multi-molecular phenotyping and QTL analysis based on Nanopore direct RNA sequencing data

Introduction

nanornaqtl is a specialized analysis tool designed for Nanopore direct RNA sequencing data, used to identify various RNA molecular phenotypes and perform population-level QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci) analysis. This tool is particularly suitable for analyzing pooling samples (mixed sequencing of multiple individuals), with all analyses conducted at the read level.

Key Features

• 7 Molecular Phenotype Identification 📊:

  • RNA modification sites: m6A, m5C, pseudouridine (pseU), inosine
  • polyA tail length
  • Intron retention rate
  • Alternative polyA sites (APA)
  • Transcript isoforms

• 8 QTL Analyses 🧪:

  • Modification QTLs (m6A, m5C, pseU, inosine)
  • APA usage pattern QTL
  • Isoform usage pattern QTL
  • polyA tail length QTL
  • Intron retention rate QTL

Features ✨

• Read-level analysis: Suitable for population-level analysis of pooling samples
• Bayesian statistical methods: More robust for unevenly covered Nanopore data
• Parallel processing: Supports multi-threading acceleration, processing by chromosome in parallel
• Flexible parameter settings: Customizable quality thresholds, coverage requirements, etc.

Data Preprocessing

Before using nanornaqtl, Nanopore sequencing data needs to be preprocessed.

Step 1: Data Format Conversion

If the sequencing data is in FAST5 format, it needs to be converted to POD5 format first (skip this step if already in POD5):

# Convert using pod5 tool
pod5 convert fast5 input.fast5 --output output.pod5

Step 2: Basecalling and Alignment 🔧

Use Dorado for basecalling and alignment:

Basic alignment (required)

dorado basecaller \
  model_path \
  pod5_directory/ \
  --mm2-opts "-x splice -k 14" \
  > output.bam

Parameter description:

• --mm2-opts "-x splice -k 14": RNA splice alignment parameters

Optional features

If modification site analysis is needed:

dorado basecaller \
  model_path \
  pod5_directory/ \
  --mm2-opts "-x splice -k 14" \
  --modified-bases-models model_name \
  > output.bam

Download modification recognition models:

# Download all models
dorado download --model all

# Or download specific model
dorado download --model dna_r10.4.1_e8.2_400bps_hac@v4.1.0

If polyA tail length analysis is needed:

dorado basecaller \
  model_path \
  pod5_directory/ \
  --mm2-opts "-x splice -k 14" \
  --estimate-poly-a \
  > output.bam

Key Statistical Metrics Interpretation 📈

Bayesian Methods

• BF (Bayes Factor):

  • BF > 3: Substantial evidence supporting association
  • BF > 10: Strong evidence
  • BF > 30: Very strong evidence

• Posterior probability: Posterior probability that null hypothesis is true, smaller values indicate stronger evidence for association

Frequentist Methods

• p-value: Traditional significance test p-value, typically p < 0.05 considered significant
• Note: Frequentist methods may produce more false positives with uneven coverage, Bayesian methods recommended as primary approach
