An Atlas of Bovine Gene Expression Reveals Novel Distinctive Tissue Characteristics and Evidence for Improving Genome Annotation

ABSTRACT: Background: A comprehensive transcriptome survey, or "gene atlas", provides information essential for a complete understanding of the genomic biology of an organism. We present an atlas of RNA abundance for 92 adult, juvenile and fetal cattle tissues and 3 cattle cell lines. Results: The Bovine Gene Atlas was generated from 7.2 million unique digital gene expression tag sequences (300.2 million total raw tag sequences), from which 1.59 million unique tag sequences were identified that mapped to the bovine genome accounting for 85% of the total raw tag abundance. Filtering these tags yielded 87,764 unique tag sequences that unambiguously mapped to 16,517 annotated protein-coding loci in the genome accounting for 45% of the total raw tag abundance. Clustering of tissues based on tag abundance profiles generally confirmed ontology classification based on anatomy. There were 5,429 constitutively expressed loci and 3,445 constitutively expressed unique tag sequences mapping outside annotated gene boundaries that represent a resource for enhancing current gene models. Physical measures such as inferred transcript length or antisense tag abundance identified tissues with atypical transcriptional tag profiles. We report for the first time the tissue specific variation in the proportion of mitochondrial transcriptional tag abundance. The Bovine Gene Atlas can be examined at http://www.agbase.msstate.edu/bovineatlas . Conclusions: The Bovine Gene Atlas is the deepest and broadest transcriptome survey of any livestock genome to date. Commonalities and variation in sense and antisense transcript tag profiles identified in different tissues facilitate the examination of the relationship between gene expression, tissue, and gene function.

Project description:Malformations of the cardiovascular system are the most common type of birth defect in humans, affecting predominantly the formation of valves and septa. During heart valve and septa formation, cells from the atrio-ventricular canal (AVC) and outflow tract (OFT) regions of the heart undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) and invade the underlying extracellular matrix to give rise to endocardial cushions. Subsequent maturation of newly formed mesenchyme cells leads to thin stress-resistant leaflets. TWIST1 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor expressed in newly formed mesenchyme cells of the AVC and OFT that has been shown to play roles in cell survival, cell proliferation and differentiation. However, the role and downstream targets of TWIST1 during heart valve formation remain unclear. To identify genes important for heart valve development downstream of Twist1 we performed global gene expression profiling of AVC, OFT, atria and ventricles of the embryonic day 10.5 mouse heart by tag-sequencing (Tag-seq). Using this resource we identified a novel set of 1246 genes, including 201 regulators of transcription, enriched in the valve forming regions of the heart. We compared these genes to a Tag-seq library from the Twist1 null developing valves revealing significant gene expression changes. These changes were consistent with a role of TWIST1 in controlling differentiation of mesenchymal cells following their transformation from endothelium in the mouse. To study the role of TWIST1 at the DNA level we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation and identified novel direct targets of TWIST1 in the developing heart valves. Our findings are consistent with a role for TWIST1 in the differentiation of AVC mesenchyme post-EMT in the mouse, and suggest that TWIST1 exerts its function by direct DNA binding to activate valve specific gene expression. Profiled the AVC, OFT, atria and ventricles of the embryonic day 10.5 mouse heart by tag-sequencing (Tag-seq) (no replicates). We also produced a Tag-seq library from Twist1 null developing valves to reveal the gene expression changes associated with loss of this gene.

Project description:Genome-wide expression signatures detect specific perturbations in developmental programs and contribute to functional resolution of key regulatory networks. In maize (Zea mays) inflorescences, mutations in the RAMOSA (RA) genes affect determinacy of axillary meristems and thus alter branching patterns, an important agronomic trait. In this work, we developed and tested a framework for analysis of tag-based, digital gene expression (DGE) profiles using Illumina’s high-throughput sequencing technology and the newly-assembled B73 maize reference genome. We also used a mutation in the RA3 gene to identify putative expression signatures specific to stem cell fate in determinacy of axillary meristems. The RA3 gene encodes a trehalose-6-phosphate-phosphatase and may act at the interface between developmental and metabolic processes. Deep sequencing of DGE libraries, representing three biological replicate ear samples from wild-type and ra3 plants, generated 27 million 20-21nt reads with frequencies spanning four orders of magnitude. Unique sequence tags were anchored to 3´-ends of individual transcripts by DpnII and NlaIII digests, which were multiplexed during sequencing. We mapped 86% of non-redundant signature tags to the maize genome, which associated with 37,117 working gene models and un-annotated regions of expression. 66% of maize genes were detected at ? nine reads in immature maize ears. We used comparative genomics to leverage existing information from Arabidopsis and rice in functional analyses of differentially expressed maize genes. Results from this study provide a basis for analysis of short-read expression data in maize and resolved specific expression signatures that will help define mechanisms of action for the RA3 gene. 3' tag-based DGE libraries were generated using Illumina 1G technology. Libraries were prepared from 2mm ear samples and represent: 3 biological replicates of wild-type B73, 3 biological replicates of ramosa3 (ra3) mutants, and 1 technical replicate of a ra3 sample. Each sample was sequenced in a single lane of a flow cell. Each lane includes library preparations from both DpnII and NlaIII digests for that sample. Sequences from DpnII digests start with GATC and those from NlaIII digests start with ATG.

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. typhimurium) bacteria cause an inflammatory and lethal infection in zebrafish embryos. To characterize the embryonic innate host response at the transcriptome level, we have extended and validated previous microarray data by Illumina next-generation sequencing analysis. Comparison of tag-based sequencing (DGE or Tag-Seq) with full transcript sequencing (RNA-Seq) showed a strong correlation of sequence read counts per transcript and an overlap of 241 transcripts differentially expressed in response to infection. A slightly lower overlap of 165 transcripts was observed with previous microarray data. Based on the combined sequencing-based and microarray-based transcriptome data we compiled an annotated reference set of infection-responsive genes in zebrafish embryos, encoding transcription factors, signal transduction proteins, cytokines and chemokines, complement factors, proteins involved in apoptosis and proteolysis, proteins with anti-microbial activities, as well as many known or novel proteins not previously linked to the immune response. Furthermore, by comparison of the deep sequencing data of S. typhimurium infection in zebrafish embryos with previous deep sequencing data of Mycobacterium marinum infection in adult zebrafish we derived a common set of innate host defense genes that are expressed both in the absence and presence of a fully developed adaptive immune system and that provide a valuable reference for future studies of host-pathogen interactions using zebrafish infection models. Zebrafish embryos were infected with Salmonella typhimurium (strain SL1027) by microinjection of DsRED-labeled bacteria into the caudal vein close to the urogenital opening after the onset of blood circulation (27 hpf). An equal volume of PBS was injected in the control group. RNA samples were collected at 8 hours post infection (hpi) and samples from triplicate infection experiments were pooled. DGE libraries from the RNA pools (1 M-NM-<g) of Salmonella-infected and control embryos were prepared using the DGE:Tag Profiling for NlaIII Sample Prep kit from Illumina as previously described (Hegedus et al., 2009). The libraries were sequenced in duplicate using 2 (Control 1; Salmonella infected 1) and 3 pmol (Control 2; Salmonella infected 2) of cDNA. Sequencing was performed using the Illumina Genome Analyzer II System (BaseClear B.V., Leiden, The Netherlands) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocols. Image analysis, base calling, extraction of 17 bp tags and tag counting were performed using the Illumina pipeline. Tag counts from duplicate libraries were merged in silico.
