A proteogenomic atlas of the human neural retina

The human neural retina is enriched for alternative splicing, and it is estimated that more than 10% of variants associated with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) alter splicing. Previous research mainly used short-read RNA-sequencing techniques to investigate retina-specific splicing and splicing factors. However, this technique provides limited information about transcript isoforms. To gain a deeper understanding of the human neural retina and its isoforms, we generated a proteogenomic atlas that combines PacBio long-read RNA-sequencing data with mass-spectrometry and whole-genome sequencing data from three healthy human neural retina samples. About one third of the nearly 60,000 transcript isoforms were novel, and ten novel peptides that confirmed novel isoforms were detected. This study highlights the importance of studying tissue-specific transcriptomes in greater detail to better understand tissue-specific regulation and to identify disease-causing variants.

Accuracy and repeatability of epigenome-based signatures trained on Illumina MethylationEPIC BeadChip data

Illumina DNA methylation microarrays are popular tools for discovering methylation patterns that enable epigenome-based trait prediction. To ensure reliable and accurate predictions, the robustness of the methylation assay is critical. This dataset comprises technical quadruplicate llumina MethylationEPIC (v1.0) data from matched cervical and blood samples, derived from four individuals, to evaluate the precision of methylation values and the repeatability of epigenome-based models trained to predict disease and aging. Fresh, and frozen blood were treated as separate tissue types, so the data stems from 4 * 4 * 3 = 48 microarrays.
