Viral and Bacterial Communities of Colorectal Cancer

Geoffrey D Hannigan, Melissa B Duhaime, Mack T Ruffin IV, Charlie C Koumpouras, and Patrick D Schloss

Abstract

Viruses are assocaited with many human cancers, largely due to their mutagenic and functionally manipulative abilities. Despite this, cancer microbiome studies have almost exclusively focused on bacteria instead of viruses. We began evaluating the cancer virome by focusing on colorectal cancer, a primary cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, and a cancer linked to altered colonic bacterial community compositions while the virome role remains unknown. We used 16S rRNA gene, whole shotgun metagenomic, and puri ed virus metagenomic sequencing of stool to evaluate the di erences in human colorectal cancer virus and bacterial community composition. Through random forest modeling we identi ed di erences in the healthy and colorectal cancer virome. The cancer-associated virome consisted primarily of temperate bacteriophages that were also bacteria-virus community network hubs. These results provide foundational evidence that bacteriophage communities are associated with colorectal cancer and likely impact cancer progression by altering the bacterial host communities.

This looks cool. Take me to the manuscript!

hannigan_crcvirome_mbio_2018's Issues

Run virome metagenome library through Quant-IT

Quantify the DNA for all of the samples in the virome metagenome library (second library that Charlie prepped) using the Quant-IT system.

Samples need to be run in duplicate to account for potential variation in the system.

Once this is done we can pool the samples and ship them off for sequencing.

Get replacement NexteraXT kit

It seemed like there was something wrong with the first NexteraXT kit that Charlie used (for the whole metagenome prep). We need to contact Illumina and get them to replace that kit since they ain't cheap.

No 16S analysis for Zackular data.

This is a pretty vague issue, but essentially I have the data up on Axiom so now I just have to go through with the main analysis workflow.

I should be able to follow the standard Mothur SOP.

Rerun files impacted by contig cat error.

The last time I ran the contig cat, there was a problem causing a bunch of reads to mix together. Probably due to a parallel run.

I fixed it but the files need to be remade.

Pool virome library

After the Quant-IT is done, we can calculate the volumes required to pool the samples. Once this is done we can submit the library.

Change repo name

Change the name of the repo to conform to Schloss lab standards.

Update Sequencing Database

I realized I don't have the sample information officially recorded in my master SQL sequencing database, so I need to go back and get that taken care of.

Evaluate impact of sequencing depth on model performance.

It looks like the impact of sequencing depth on the model performance might be fairly significant. To get at this, I would like to run some curves plotting model performance vs sequencing depth. I suspect that might be important here.

Call ORFs

Extracts ORFs from the contigs using Prodigal.

Confirm that use of BLAST's `-max_target_seqs` is intentional

Hi there,

This is a semi-automated message from a fellow bioinformatician. Through a GitHub search, I found that the following source files make use of BLAST's -max_target_seqs parameter:

Based on the recently published report, Misunderstood parameter of NCBI BLAST impacts the correctness of bioinformatics workflows, there is a strong chance that this parameter is misused in your repository.

If the use of this parameter was intentional, please feel free to ignore and close this issue but I would highly recommend to add a comment to your source code to notify others about this use case. If this is a duplicate issue, please accept my apologies for the redundancy as this simple automation is not smart enough to identify such issues.

Thank you!

Rerun bacterial metagenome library prep

The original bacterial metagenome prep did not work, which I think might have been due to a faulty kit. In addition to getting a replacement kit from Illumina, we are going to re-prepare this library using a new kit.

This is a rerun of the first kit that charlie prepped.

Add mean summary stats

Add simple mean and std error bar graphs of contamination levels to compare to previous studies. Simple as that.
