Detailed Explanation of exceRpt Pipeline Row Labels

Based on your heatmap from the exceRpt pipeline, let me explain each category and specifically address your question about the miRNA percentages.

Pipeline Flow Overview

The exceRpt pipeline processes reads through sequential filtering and alignment stages. Each percentage is normalized to reads_used_for_alignment (the denominator after quality control).


Row Label Categories Explained

1. Initial Processing Stages

  • input: Total raw reads entering the pipeline (100%)
  • successfully_clipped: Reads with adapters successfully removed
  • failed_quality_filter: Reads failing quality thresholds (Phred score, length)
  • failed_homopolymer_filter: Reads with excessive homopolymer stretches
  • calibrator: Reads mapping to spike-in calibrator controls
  • UniVec_contaminants: Reads identified as vector/contaminant sequences
  • rRNA: Reads mapping to ribosomal RNA (typically removed)
  • reads_used_for_alignment: Clean reads proceeding to alignment (this is the new 100% for downstream percentages)

2. Endogenous Alignment (Human/Host Genome)

These reads map to the reference genome of the host organism:

  • genome: Reads mapping to the reference genome
  • miRNA_sense/antisense: Reads mapping to endogenous miRNAs in sense/antisense orientation
  • miRNAprecursor_sense/antisense: Reads mapping to miRNA precursor hairpins
  • tRNA_sense/antisense: Transfer RNA mappings
  • piRNA_sense/antisense: PIWI-interacting RNA mappings
  • gencode_sense/antisense: Reads mapping to GENCODE gene annotations (mRNA, lncRNA, etc.)
  • circularRNA_sense/antisense: Circular RNA (circRNA) mappings
  • not_mapped_to_genome_or_libs: Reads that didn’t map to genome or small RNA libraries
  • repetitiveElements: Reads mapping to repetitive regions (LINE, SINE, etc.)
  • endogenous_gapped: Reads requiring gapped alignment (spliced reads)

3. Exogenous Alignment (Foreign/Viral Sequences)

This is the key to your question!

After endogenous alignment, unmapped reads are tested against exogenous (foreign) databases:

  • input_to_exogenous_miRNA: Reads sent to exogenous miRNA alignment
  • exogenous_miRNA: Reads mapping to viral/foreign miRNAs
  • input_to_exogenous_rRNA: Reads sent to exogenous rRNA alignment
  • exogenous_rRNA: Reads mapping to foreign rRNA (bacterial, viral)
  • input_to_exogenous_genomes: Reads sent to exogenous genome alignment
  • exogenous_genomes: Reads mapping to viral/bacterial genomes

🔍 Answering Your Specific Question

For sample nf796:

miRNA_sense:              1.3%
miRNA_antisense:          0.0%
input_to_exogenous_miRNA: 4.4%
exogenous_miRNA:          0.0%

Why this pattern?

The pipeline works sequentially:

  1. Endogenous miRNA alignment (first pass):

    • 1.3% of reads mapped to human endogenous miRNAs (sense strand)
    • 0.0% mapped to antisense miRNAs
    • These are known human miRNAs from miRBase
  2. Exogenous miRNA alignment (second pass):

    • The 4.4% represents reads that:
      • Did NOT map to endogenous human miRNAs
      • Were sent to search viral/foreign miRNA databases
    • The 0.0% means none of these 4.4% actually matched viral miRNAs
    • These are likely:
      • Degraded RNA fragments
      • Novel miRNAs not in databases
      • Sequencing artifacts
      • miRNAs from organisms not in the exogenous database

Visual Flow:

reads_used_for_alignment (100%)
         ↓
   [Endogenous alignment]
         ↓
   miRNA_sense (1.3%) ← Human miRNAs
   miRNA_antisense (0.0%)
         ↓
   Unmapped reads
         ↓
   [Exogenous alignment]
         ↓
   input_to_exogenous_miRNA (4.4%) ← Sent to viral DB
         ↓
   exogenous_miRNA (0.0%) ← Actually matched viral miRNAs
         ↓
   Remaining 4.4% → discarded or used for other exogenous searches

Key Distinction

Category Database Example
miRNA_sense Human miRBase hsa-miR-21-5p
exogenous_miRNA Viral miRNA DB EBV-miR-BART1, KSHV-miR-K12

Why is input_to_exogenous_miRNA > miRNA_sense?

This is normal and indicates:

  1. Most reads did NOT map to endogenous miRNAs
  2. The pipeline casts a wide net, sending many unmapped reads to exogenous searches
  3. The 4.4% represents “candidate” reads that might be foreign miRNAs
  4. The 0.0% final match means no viral miRNAs were detected in nf796

If you had a virus-infected sample, you’d see:

  • input_to_exogenous_miRNA: e.g., 5%
  • exogenous_miRNA: e.g., 3.2% (actual viral miRNA matches)

Other Notable Patterns in Your Heatmap

Looking at your samples:

  • nf796, nf797, nf655: Very low genome mapping (~21-45%), high “not_mapped” (~55-79%)
  • nf930-nf974: High genome mapping (~66-89%), suggesting better quality or different sample type
  • MKL-1 vs WaGa: Different cell lines showing distinct mapping profiles

This suggests nf796/nf797/nf655 might be:

  • Lower quality RNA
  • Different library preparation
  • Higher contamination
  • Or genuinely different biology (e.g., more extracellular vesicles with fragmented RNA)

Does this clarify the pipeline stages and the miRNA percentages? Let me know if you need more details about any specific category!

关于 “aged♂ FMT” 的明确解释

aged♂ FMT = 接受了老年雄性供体粪便的年轻雄性受体小鼠


🔹 实验设计核心逻辑

角色 年龄/性别 说明
受体(接受粪便) 🐭 年轻雄性(4周龄起始) 所有 FMT 组的受体都是相同的年轻雄性小鼠
供体(提供粪便) 🐭 老年雄性 / 老年雌性 / 年轻雄性 供体的年龄/性别是实验变量

🔹 样本分组详解

🟣 Purple (pre-FMT, n=18): G1–G6, H1–H6, I1–I6
   → FMT前的基线年轻雄性小鼠(未接受移植)

🔵 Blue (aged♂ FMT, n=6): J1, J2, J3, J4, J10, J11
   → 年轻雄性受体 + 接受【老年雄性】供体粪便

🔴 Red (aged♀ FMT, n=6): K1–K6
   → 年轻雄性受体 + 接受【老年雌性】供体粪便

🟢 Green (young♂ FMT, n=5): L2–L6
   → 年轻雄性受体 + 接受【年轻雄性】供体粪便(对照组)

🔹 文献依据

来自 260311_LTPaper.pdf Figure 5 图例:

“Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of young male mice before (purple) (n=18), and after FMT of aged male (n=6) (blue) or female (n=6) (red) or young male (n=5) (green) stool donors.”

→ 明确说明分析对象是 young male mice,括号内描述的是 stool donors(粪便供体)的特征。

来自 Supplemental Methods “Microbiota eradication and FMT”:

“4 weeks old male mice were treated for 2 weeks with an antibiotic cocktail… recipient mice were gavaged with donor stool four times over two weeks.”

→ 受体小鼠起始年龄为 4周龄(年轻)

Figure 5 小标题:

“FMT of aged male microbiota increases IL-17A-producing γδ T cells in the post-ischemic brain of young recipient mice

→ 再次确认受体是 young recipient mice


🔹 为什么这样设计?

这个实验的核心科学问题是:

“供体微生物的年龄/性别特征,能否通过移植’传递’给受体,并影响受体的免疫反应?”

通过保持受体一致(年轻雄性),仅改变供体来源,可以:

  1. 排除受体自身年龄/性别的混杂效应
  2. 直接评估供体微生物对受体免疫表型(如 IL-17A⁺ γδ T 细胞)的因果影响
  3. 验证”微生物介导的年龄/性别差异”假说

✅ 快速记忆口诀

“FMT 标签 = 供体特征,不是受体特征”

  • aged♂ FMT = 供体是老年雄性
  • 受体永远是年轻雄性(本实验中)


🔹 Figure 5B: PCoA of FMT Experiment

“Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of young male mice before (purple) (n=18), and after FMT of aged male (n=6) (blue) or female (n=6) (red) or young male (n=5) (green) stool donors.”

  • 🟣 Purple (pre-FMT, n=18): Groups 6+7+8 → G1–G6, H1–H6, I1–I6
  • 🔵 Blue (aged♂ FMT, n=6): Group9 → J1, J2, J3, J4, J10, J11
  • 🔴 Red (aged♀ FMT, n=6): Group10 → K1–K6
  • 🟢 Green (young♂ FMT, n=5): Group11 → L2–L6 (L1, L7–L15 excluded for low depth/QC)

🔹 Figure 5C=Figure 5B+C1-7+E1-10 (Need to be confirmed?): Family-Level Relative Abundance Boxplots (5 panels)

Based on your co-author’s note: “Figure 5C uses the Figure 5B recipient samples PLUS the aged donor samples (Groups 3 & 4).”

  • Boxplot 1 (pre-FMT baseline, n=18): Groups 6+7+8 → G1–G6, H1–H6, I1–I6
  • Boxplot 2 (aged♂ stool donors, n=8): Group4 → E1–E10
  • Boxplot 3 (aged♀ stool donors, n=6): Group3 → C1–C7
  • Boxplot 4 (aged♂ FMT recipients, n=6): Group9 → J1, J2, J3, J4, J10, J11
  • Boxplot 5 (aged♀ FMT recipients, n=6): Group10 → K1–K6
  • !!No Group11 (L2-L6)!!

⚠️ Key difference: Group11 (young♂ FMT recipients, L2–L6) is shown in Figure 5B but is NOT included in Figure 5C, since Figure 5C focuses on comparing the effect of aged donor microbiota.

🔹 Figure 5D: Bubble Plot of Differentially Abundant Taxa (DESeq2)

“Bubble plot showing differentially abundant Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) between young male recipients of aged female vs. aged male FMT. x-axis = log₂ fold change, y-axis = bacterial family, bubble size = adjusted p-value, color = bacterial order.”

  • 🔵 Aged♂ FMT recipients (Group9, n=6): J1, J2, J3, J4, J10, J11 → Reference group (log₂FC < 0 = enriched in this group)
  • 🔴 Aged♀ FMT recipients (Group10, n=6): K1–K6 → Comparison group (log₂FC > 0 = enriched in this group)
Key families highlighted in the plot: Direction Family (Order) Enriched in Biological note
🔴 Positive log₂FC Lachnospiraceae (Clostridiales) Aged♀ FMT SCFA producer
🔴 Positive log₂FC Ruminococcaceae (Clostridiales) Aged♀ FMT SCFA producer
🔴 Positive log₂FC Muribaculaceae (Bacteroidales) Aged♀ FMT SCFA producer
🔴 Positive log₂FC Desulfovibrionaceae (Desulfovibrionales) Aged♀ FMT Sulfate-reducing
🔵 Negative log₂FC Erysipelotrichaceae (Erysipelotrichales) Aged♂ FMT Pro-inflammatory association
🔵 Negative log₂FC Rikenellaceae (Bacteroidales) Aged♂ FMT Context-dependent
🔵 Negative log₂FC Clostridiales vadinBB60 group Aged♂ FMT Function unclear

⚠️ Note: This analysis uses DESeq2 on non-rarefied integer counts from ps_filt, with taxa prefiltered (total counts ≥10). Only taxa with Benjamini–Hochberg adjusted p < 0.05 are shown. The same ASVs/OTUs appear in Figure 4C and Supplementary Figure 4B, but Figure 5D specifically compares FMT recipient outcomes (Groups 9 vs. 10), not baseline donor differences.


🔹 Supplementary_Figure4=Figure4B-C: Aged Donors (Homeostatic)

“(A) Bray-Curtis distances between aged male-male, female-female and female-male stool samples under homeostatic conditions (nmale=8 and nfemale=6). (B) Cladogram showing differentially abundant OTUs…”

  • 👨 Aged male donors (n=8): Group4 → E1–E8 (E9, E10 excluded for low sequencing depth/outliers)
  • 👩 Aged female donors (n=6): Group3 → C1–C6 (C7–C10 excluded; C8–C9 younger mice, C10 outlier)

🔹 Figure 4B-C: Sex Differences in Aged Mice (16S rRNA-seq panels B–C)

“We profiled the gut bacterial composition of aged male and female mice by 16S rRNA-seq…”

  • Baseline aged female donors: Group3 → C1–C6
  • Baseline aged male donors: Group4 → E1–E8

(Note: Figure 4D–F show SCFA concentrations measured by targeted UHPLC-MS/MS, not 16S data.)


✅ PICRUSt2 NOT used in Figure 4D–F

Your observation is CORRECT: PICRUSt2 results are NOT used in Figure 4D–F.

Question Answer Evidence
Are PICRUSt2 results used in Figure 4? No Figure 4D–F legend explicitly states: “measured by targeted mass spectrometry”
Are PICRUSt2 results used anywhere in the manuscript? No evidence README_PICRUSt2.txt files contain exploratory pipeline notes, but no PICRUSt2 figures, tables, or text appear in 260311_LTPaper.pdf or 260310_Supplements.pdf
Is the SCFA data in Figure 4D–F experimentally measured? Yes Supplemental Methods (pages 12–13) describe UHPLC-MS/MS quantification with internal standards, derivatization, and MRM parameters

Key distinction:

  • PICRUSt2Predicts functional potential (gene/pathway abundances) from 16S sequences; outputs are relative, unitless values.
  • Figure 4D–FMeasures actual SCFA concentrations (acetate, butyrate, etc.) in µmol/l via targeted mass spectrometry; outputs are absolute, quantitative values.

🔹 Key Notes for Interpretation

  1. Figure 5B vs. 5C: Figure 5B shows beta-diversity (PCoA) of all FMT groups; Figure 5C shows taxonomic composition (boxplots) of donors + recipients. Group11 (young♂ FMT) is in 5B but not in 5C.
  2. Figure 5D: Uses DESeq2 on non-rarefied counts from ps_filt (taxa prefiltered: total counts ≥10). Only taxa with BH-adjusted p < 0.05 are shown.
  3. Figure 5E: Includes the same recipients as Fig 5D plus the young♂ FMT control group (Group11, L2–L6) for comparison of IL-17A+ γδ T cells.
  4. Sample exclusions: C7–C10, E9–E10, J5–J9, K7–K15, L1, L7–L15 were excluded for low depth, outliers, or QC reasons (see README files).

Let me know if you’d like me to:

  1. Export the exact DESeq2 results table for Figure 5D as CSV/Excel,
  2. Provide the R code snippet that generates the bubble plot for Figure 5D, or
  3. Draft the full email reply to your colleague with these merged tables integrated. 🎯

  7. Report

Thank you for your excellent question. You are absolutely right—the limited gene entries in our initial SV table reflect conservative RefSeq GFF3 annotation, which under-represents prophage regions (many genes labeled “hypothetical” or omitted). Your observation prompted re-analysis with PHASTEST, and the results strongly support your hypothesis.

🔹 PHASTEST validation: Three prophage regions confirmed We ran PHASTEST on the three large SV regions previously annotated as deletions/contractions. Based on PHASTEST’s scoring criteria (intact >90, questionable 70–90, incomplete <70), we confirm:

SV ID Coordinates PHASTER Score Most Common Phage Match Key Features
SV_mito_tandem 2494563–2536071 (41.5 kb) Questionable (90) Bordetella phage BPP-1 (NC_005357) integrase, terminase, tail, capsid
SV_mito_large_del1 1189156–1236440 (47.3 kb) Intact (>90) Acinetobacter phage vB_AbaS_TRS1 (NC_031098) tyrosine integrase, structural modules
SV_mito_large_del2 2621714–2664046 (42.4 kb) Intact (>90) Acinetobacter phage Bphi_B1251 (NC_019541) terL, DNA methyltransferase, tail proteins

Key observations:

* All three regions contain hallmark phage genes (integrases, terminases, capsid/tail proteins)
* The most common phage matches correspond to published reference genomes; complete lists of all matched phages are provided in the "Summary" sheet of each attached Excel file
* Reference manuscripts:
   - NC_005357: Genomic and genetic analysis of Bordetella bacteriophages encoding reverse transcriptase-mediated tropism-switching cassettes
   - NC_031098: Genome Sequence of vB_AbaS_TRS1, a Viable Prophage Isolated from Acinetobacter baumannii Strain A118
   - NC_019541: Complete Genome Sequence of the Podoviral Bacteriophage YMC/09/02/B1251 ABA BP, Which Causes the Lysis of an OXA-23-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolate from a Septic Patient
* More detailed annotations, including Excel tables and figures, are provided in the attachments

In my 2021 PLOS Pathogens paper (attached), we identified three prophage regions significantly associated with invasive S. epidermidis, where ~94% of infection-associated genes mapped to the mobilome. Mapping Wan Yu’s differential expression data to our PHASTEST-annotated prophage coordinates would be a logical next step to test for condition-specific prophage gene expression.

Interhost variant calling (Data_Foong_DNAseq_2025_AYE_Dark_vs_Light)

  1. Targets

     Attached are the DNA sequencing data for your review. Could you please compare these sequences with the A. baumannii AYE reference (accession CU459141) and let us know whether any genomic mutations are present?
     Sorry, I realize I made a mistake. Could you confirm whether variant calling has been performed for these strains (X101SC25116512-Z01-J001, samples labed as Dark or light) to determine if they contain SNPs or InDels compared to CU459141?
  2.  mkdir raw_data; cd raw_data;
    
     # Note that the names must be ending with fastq.gz
     ln -s ../RSMD00304/X101SC25116512-Z01/X101SC25116512-Z01-J001/01.RawData/Light/Light_1.fq.gz Light_R1.fastq.gz

     #Light                  3,9MiB   ./Light/contigs.fa
  5. Summarize all SNPs and Indels from the snippy result directory.

💡 Manuscript Interpretation Guidelines

High-Priority Findings (Results Section)

“Two mutually exclusive ~4.3-kb deletions define efflux pump backgrounds: SV_adeIJ_del (CP059040:737224–741667) abolishes the AdeIJK pump (adeJ, adeI, truncated adeK) in all dIJ strains, while SV_adeAB_del (CP059040:1844323–1848605) abolishes the AdeAB pump (adeA, adeB) in all dAB strains. Both variants result in complete loss of permease and adaptor subunits, likely conferring increased susceptibility to respective substrate antibiotics.”

Medium-Priority (Supplementary/Discussion)

“Mitomycin C-selected strains harbor large (>40 kb) structural variants in repeat-rich genomic regions (SV_mito_tandem, SV_mito_large_del1/2), absent in fluoroquinolone-selected isolates. Notably, SV_mito_large_del2 deletes a DNA cytosine methyltransferase (H0N29_12525), suggesting potential epigenetic adaptation under genotoxic stress.”

Low-Priority (Methods/QC)

“A universal 198-bp tandem contraction in a tRNA-Gln array (SV_tRNA_contract; copy number 4→3) and a condition-specific ~135-bp intergenic contraction (SV_flu_tandem) were detected, serving as stable lineage markers and selection-condition signatures, respectively.”
