DASHR – Database of small human noncoding RNAs

187 deep sequencing data sets | 42 tissues and cell types | 48,075 sncRNA loci

  DASHR: human small RNA database
Updated DASHR v2.0 database has been released (August 2018).
DASHR v2.0 paper: https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/bty709

The DASHR database provides the most comprehensive information to date on human small non-coding RNA (sncRNA) genes, precursor and mature sncRNA annotations, sequence, expression levels and RNA processing information across 42 normal tissues and cell types in human. The content of the database derives from integrating annotation data with curation, annotation, and computational analysis of 187 small-RNA (smRNA-seq) deep sequencing datasets with over 2.5 billion reads from over 30 independent studies. DASHR contains information on over 48,000 precursor and mature sncRNA annotations in the human genome, of which 82% are expressed in one or more of the curated tissues and cell types.

sncRNA search

DASHR allows search by the full or partial name of sncRNA gene, locate sncRNA loci overlapping with the given genomic interval coordinates, or query sncRNA records in the database by RNA sequence.

sncRNA expression browser

The DASHR expression browser displays information about sncRNA gene expression and mature sncRNA products expression in normal conditions (tissues/cell types). It aims to answer questions such as
  • What is the expression pattern for hsa-mir-200a miRNA gene and its mature products (hsa-mir-200a-5p or hsa-mir-200a-3p) in normal tissues?
  • What are the sncRNA genes and mature sncRNA products expressed in human brain?
  • What annotated sncRNAs are in the specific genomic location and how are they expressed in specific tissue/cell type or across all tissues and cell types?

Data visualization/download

Genome-wide raw signal tracks, sncRNA contigs (called peaks), and annotation tracks for small non-coding RNAs can be viewed via UCSC Genome Browser or downloaded from the DASHR download page.

Updated DASHR v2.0 database has been released (August 2018).
All searches will retrieve the sncRNA annotation, ID conversion table, as well as links to their genomic and expression profiles.

Three types of searches are supported:

Search by sncRNA name/ID

Enter small RNA name: Example small RNA

Search by HGNC symbol, RefSeq ID, UCSC ID, small RNA name, or gene name. Search examples:
  1. primary miRNA search: MIR192, hsa-mir-192, NR_029578, uc010rnr.1
  2. mature miRNA 3p/5p search: hsa-miR-192-3p, hsa-miR-192-5p
  3. snoRNA/snRNA search: U14, HBII-251, SNORD85, NR_003066, uc001bsl.1
  4. scRNA search: HY1, RNY1
  5. tRNA search: tRNA22, chr14.tRNA22-ProAGG, uc021rnx.1
  6. piRNA search: piR-36025
  7. tRF-3p/tRF-5p search: chr14.tRNA22-ProAGG-tRF3


Search by genomic coordinates

Enter genomic coordinates: Example genomic coordinates

Search examples: chr1:1103243-1103332, chr1 1103243 1103332

Note: If multiple loci are returned (common among duplicated RNAs such as tRNAs), we will display all annotated sncRNAs of any classes within those particular genomic coordinates on both strands.


Search by sequence

Enter small RNA sequence: Example sequence

Search examples: CAUCUUACUGGGCAGCAUUGGA, or with wildcard CAU_UUACUGGGCA_CAUUGGA

Note: Any sequence that contains the provided nucleotide sequence will be displayed.

UCSC sncRNA track hub (42 tissues and cell types)

The genome-wide map of small RNA loci, raw signal track data, sncRNA contigs (called peaks), and annotation can be accessed via the UCSC Genome Browser. Entire small RNA transcriptome

To browse all the mapped sncRNA sequencing data and annotation effectively on the UCSC genome browser, we have created a sncRNA track hub. This hub enables simultaneous visualization of all processed sequencing data from both strands. Both peak and raw signal tracks are included. Processed data is also downloadable (Download). To access our hub on genome browser click here. DASHR track data is also downloadable from the Table Browser.

DASHR reports the annotation, expression and evidence for specific RNA processing (cleavage specificity scores/entropy) of sncRNA genes, precursor and mature sncRNA products across different human tissues and cell types. Simply input your sncRNA of interest (in a variety of formats) and click Search. By default, a) summary table; b) expression profiles; c) entropy/specific processing information, and d) structure will be produced as outputs for each locus. Users can also view the outputs via an expression browser.

DASHR implementation

The DASHR database was implemented using MySql database engine, while all the scripts were written in PHP (website), AWK and BASH scripting languages. R (v3.1.0) is used for plotting and visualization. Currently, DASHR is hosted on a server with two CPUs (Intel Xeon E5450@3GHz) and 16GB RAM running CentOS 5.11. The database schema can be viewed here.

Methods - Small-RNA-sequencing and annotation pipeline

Annotation resources

DASHR integrates multiple existing annotation resources for small non-coding RNAs including miRNA annotations from miRBase (v19); snRNA, snoRNA, scRNA and rRNA annotations are from UCSC genome browser; and GENCODE; tRNA annotations tRNAdb; and piRNA annotations from NCBI. The current annotation in DASHR also includes tRNA fragment annotations that are created based on the 50nt sequences upstream (5p) and downstream (3p) of the known tRNA genes. Information from NCBI, HGNC, RefSeq and UCSC was used to build the ID conversion table for each processed and mature sncRNA entry in DASHR.

Data collection and curation of smRNA-seq datasets

We manually curated Illumina smRNA-seq datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and Sequence Read Archive (SRA). These datasets were obtained from non-diseased human tissues and cell types and were generated for studying or profiling small non-coding RNAs. The full list of included samples (smRNA-seq libraries) categorized by tissue and cell type is shown in the Data page.

Categorizing datasets into tissues and cell types

We then manually categorized the smRNA-seq samples into different groups of tissues and cell types, stratified by their experimental sources (i.e. Study ID found in Data page).

Processing smRNA-seq datasets

After curation and categorization, we then used a modified pipeline built upon CoRAL to process the smRNA-seq datasets and generate sncRNA expression levels. The pipeline can be summarized in three parts: 1) processing and quality control; 2) segmentation and quantification; and 3) annotation.

Processing and Quality control (trimming, alignment)

We first identified the correct adapter (Illumina adapter column found in Data page) and trimmed the sequencing reads. We then mapped the trimmed reads to a standardized version of the human reference genome (GRCh37/hg19). The reads were aligned using STAR allowing for multi-mapping. Over 93% of the trimmed reads were mapped to the human genome on average per dataset (Data page details trimming and alignment statistics for each smRNA-seq dataset).

Segmentation and quantification of sncRNA loci

As one of our goals was to identify mature sncRNA products (i.e. peaks with evidence of specific processing patterns, e.g. with low 5p read entropy) and quantify their expression levels in addition to precursor sncRNA gene expression levels, we developed a customized approach to identify peaks with evidence of specific processing for mature sncRNA products in base pair resolution. After identifying the mature sncRNA locations, we then quantified the number of reads falling within these regions as read counts for each sncRNA. To enable comparison across tissues, we took into account the library size information (i.e. number of mapped reads) for each of the sequencing experiments (found in Data page) and reported the read count in "reads per million" (RPM).

Annotation of mature RNA products

We overlapped each peak with evidence of specific processing (identified in the previous step) with DASHR annotations (see Annotation resources). Each peak was assigned to its precursor RNA class and sncRNA gene.

Outputs

Summary table

The summary table contains annotation information, including the sequence, genomic coordinates, and structural information for the selected locus. This table also includes summary statistics for expression information, highlighting the total number of experiments with observed expression, total raw read count and total reads count in reads per million (RPM).

Expression profiles

For any set of the specific tissues/cell types, users can view expression profiles or read coverage profiles representing detailed expression information for any sncRNA locus across the set of tissues/cell types. There are also links to the UCSC genome browser, allowing users to view the genomic locus with mapped sequencing data across all tissues.

The expression profile plot shows the reads in RPM across all tissues in DASHR for a given locus. Users can choose to display the expression profile in a bar-plot or heatmap format, in which the RPM values are shown.

For anyone (or all) chosen specific tissues/cell types, users can view the detailed expression information represented by expression profiles or read coverage profiles.

The read coverage plot available for a single tissue or the entire set of tissues, displays the number of raw reads from the chosen tissue along the genomic coordinates of the locus. The sequence is displayed underneath the plot.

We have also created a genome browser track hub called smRNA Hub, representing raw signal and peak calls (regions of enrichment) that were generated based on a uniform processing pipeline by Wang lab . This hub thus enables the simultaneous visualization of the processed sequencing data from 42 tissues on both strands.

Entropy/specific processing

For each processed sncRNA locus, we also describe the processing specificity for both ends of its mature sncRNA products in each tissue using cleavage specificity scores (calculated using CoRAL. This information is available in the tissue-specific section of the entry page along with the read coverage profile for the sncRNA locus.

The entropy score was computed based on the distributions of the 5p and 3p end positions of all sncRNA reads mapped to a given locus, respectively. This entropy feature was designed to capture the specificity (or degeneracy) of RNA cleaving enzymes specific to the production of different types of sncRNAs. For example, the processing of mature miRNA products from precursor miRNAs tends to produce fragments with a more stable 5p cleavage position (low entropy) and more variable 3p end (higher entropy).

All these plots and expression tables for a locus can be downloaded on the same page.

Small non-coding RNA expression

The browsing section provides two tables which allow users to identify either small non-coding RNA genes or mature sncRNA products of interest and download their expression profiles. With the two drop-down menus, users can a)choose which specific sncRNA type they want to look at; and b) choose which tissue/cell type to use for sorting the expression values from largest to smallest. Users can also choose to sort by the average RPM values across all tissues. Note: all genomic coordinates/locations can be sorted.

A snapshot of the small non-coding RNA gene expression table, which contains the expression profiles in RPM for sncRNA genes is shown below:

A snapshot of the table containing mature sncRNA product information is shown, including a) length of the mature sncRNA products; b) entropy/specific processing information at both 5p and 3p ends of these products; and c) percentage of reads falling into the same 5p and 3p position of the mature products.

View genomic region

In the text box, users can input a genomic region with chromosome, start and end coordinates, and strand information. The information for this region will be displayed in a new page containing the information described in the "Outputs" section.

UCSC sncRNA track hub (42 tissues and cell types)

To browse all the processed data effectively on the UCSC genome browser, we have created a sncRNA track hub. This hub enables simultaneous visualization of all processed sequencing data from both strands. The processed data is also downloadable (Download). To access our hub on genome browser click here.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How can I obtain a list of all the mature miRNA products for a given tissue/cell type?

Click the "Browse" tab at the top of the page. Choose "Browse mature sncRNA products" under "Small non-coding RNA expression". Click to select which specific mature miRNA product (mir-3p, mir-5p or other mature products, i.e. mir-5p3pno) in the first drop-down. and choose the specific tissue/cell type you want to look at in the second drop-down. Finally, scroll down the page and click "Download table (csv)" to obtain all the mature miRNA products found in the chosen specific tissue/cell type.

How many small non-coding RNA mature products in DASHR have profiled expressions?

Go to the "Data summary" tab, users can view the statistics under the figure "Number of sncRNA mature products with profiled expressions across each tissue/cell type in DASHR".

How can I retrieve annotations across various sncRNA classes simultaneously for any genomic interval?

Go to the "Search" tab, "Search by genomic coordinates" session, and input your target genomic location. DASHR will output a list of matching entries across various sncRNA classes.

How can I obtain all the annotation files for sncRNA genes, precursor and mature sncRNA products?

Go to the "Download" tab and click "sncRNA annotation" under the first row of the table to download.

How can I obtain all the small RNA genes' sequences?

Go to the "Download" tab and click "Sequence table" under the second row of the table to download.

How can I obtain ID conversion table for all the sncRNA genes?

Go to the "Download" tab and click "ID table" under the third row of the table to download.

How can I compare small non-coding RNA gene expression levels in RPM across different tissues/cell types?

Go to "Download" tab and click "sncRNA gene expression (RPM)" under the fourth row of the table to download.

How can I compare the expression profiles in read counts for mature small non-coding RNA products across different tissues/cell types?

Go to the "Download" tab and click "mature sncRNA expression" in the download table.

How can I access the raw deep small-RNA-sequencing datasets?

All the datasets used in DASHR are listed in the table under the "Data summary" tab. Users can also go to the "Download" tab and click on the "Samples list" in the last row of the table to download.

How can I access the processed deep small-RNA-sequencing datasets?

All the processed smRNA-seq datasets in DASHR can be downloaded at the "Download" tab. Under the "Genome-wide smRNA expression tracks', user can specify the tissue and strand information under the drop-down menu. The processed smRNA-seq data in csv format will be downloaded automatically.

Do I need permission to download/use data obtained in DASHR for my own research?

No. All the data are available publicly without restrictions. For the smRNA-seq sequencing datasets, please refer to the table under the "Data summary" tab for users agreements for each of these datasets.

Why are outputs not complete for every mature small non-coding RNA products?

There is an output page for every annotated small non-coding RNA gene in DASHR. Information such as RNA, genomic coordinates, length, sequence, and structure are always available in the summary table. In the "expression information" section, if the output is `0 tissues` then this small non-coding RNA is not expressed in any of the tissues/cell types in DASHR. In this case, the expression profile in the output will display values of 0 for all tissues/cell types.

How often do you update DASHR?

We aim to update DASHR every six months.
