First I will shortly reflect on the past ten years in bioinformatics with a focus on the Utrecht Science Park and the UBC. Subsequently we will discuss our recent investigations in utilizing spliceosomal introns to unlock one of the biggest questions in comparative genomics. Spliceosomal introns are a unique feature of eukaryotic genes. Previous studies have established that many introns were present in the protein-coding genes of the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA). Intron positions shared between genes that duplicated before LECA could in principle provide insight into the emergence of the first introns. In this study we use ancestral intron position reconstructions in two large sets of duplicated families to systematically identify these ancient paralogous intron positions. We found that 20-35% of introns inferred to have been present in LECA were shared between paralogs. These shared introns, which likely preceded ancient duplications, were wide spread across different functions, with the notable exception of nuclear transport. Since we observed a clear signal of pervasive intron loss prior to LECA, it is likely that substantially more introns were shared at the time of duplication than we can detect in LECA. The large extent of shared introns indicates an early origin of introns during eukaryogenesis and suggests an early origin of a nuclear structure, before most of the other complex eukaryotic features were established.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-495e4c73 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"495e4c73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Prof. dr.

Over the past five years, LRS platforms such as Oxford Nanopore and Pacific Biosciences have significantly improved in accuracy and throughput, becoming realistic alternatives to Illumina RNA-seq for transcriptomics experiments. Our lab&#8217;s pioneering work led to the creation of SQANTI, a widely used tool for the quality control and quantification of long-read transcript models. However, as technologies advance, the need for additional algorithms to support transcriptomics applications of LRS has grown. This includes not only accurate transcript identification and quantification but also analysis and correction of technological biases, experimental design considerations for large experiments, benchmarking resources, data visualization, and functional annotation of full-length transcript variants.<\/p><p>I will present the current suite of SQANTI tools, which provide a comprehensive solution to these data processing needs. For benchmarking, SQANTI-SIM is unique for simulating long-read and orthogonal data with precise control over transcript novelty. This enables the assessment of the identification of both annotated and novel transcript models. BUGSI is a set of universal single-isoform genes that can serve as an internal standard to troubleshoot RNA degradation and library preparation errors. The raw data quality in multi-sample experiments is assessed with SQANTI-reads, which identifies outliers, technology biases, and evaluates whether the data meets quality standards for discovery. SQANTI3 evaluates the performance of transcript reconstruction algorithms to accurately identify transcript models from long reads. The Filter, Rescue, and Requant modules curate transcript models to enhance transcriptome quality and quantification. Our methodologies reveal that lrRNA-seq data exhibit quantification biases distinct from those seen in short-read RNA-seq, necessitating specialized normalization methods. I will also discuss alternative approaches to defining joint transcriptomes in multi-sample experiments and their impact on transcript identification. Finally, I will introduce IsoAnnot, now integrated into the SQANTI framework, which distinguishes productive from unproductive transcripts and annotates them with functional labels to explore the biological impact of alternative splicing.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7114811 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7114811\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Prof. dr.

I will argue that, in this regard, the current state of the single-cell omics analysis field unfortunately provides a rather depressing picture. Most tools subject the data to multiple layers of ad hoc and complex transformations and filters, with countless arbitrarily tunable parameters, and return results as abstract quantities that lack physical interpretation or error bars. Moreover, the fact that the number of proposed analysis methods increases almost as fast as the number of published datasets shows that any consensus on how to analyze such data is yet to emerge in this field.<\/p><p>In this talk I will discuss some of the reasons why rigorous analysis of single-cell omics data is so challenging, taking single-cell RNA-seq as an example, and make some proposals for a way forward that is arguably simpler, more transparent, and directly rooted in our understanding of the underlying biophysics and measurement processes.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fec977 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1fec977\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Prof dr.
