Project description:Cytosine methylation in the genome of Drosophila melanogaster has been elusive and controversial: methylcytosine has been detected at very low levels in early embryos, but the genomic location and function of methylation has not been established. We have mapped cytosine methylation genomewide in Stage 5 Drosophila embryo DNA by combining immuno-enrichment for 5-methylcytosine, bisulfite conversion, and deep sequencing. Unlike methylation patterns observed in other eukaryotic species, methylation in Drosophila is punctate and highly strand-asymmetrical; we confirmed this by direct PCR amplification and sequencing of bisulfite-converted DNA. Despite the locally asymmetric nature of methylation, large-scale patterns of methylation are symmetric. Methylated regions make up ~1% of the genome, and within these regions methylation of individual cytosines averages 2-10%. Methylation is concentrated in specific 5-base sequence motifs that are CA- and CT-rich but depleted of guanine. It is depleted from promoters, coding sequences, and most retrotransposons, and enriched in introns and in certain simple sequence repeats containing the commonly methylated motifs. Comparison with available gene expression data indicates that methylation in a gene is associated with lower expression; the X chromosome, which is subject to gene dosage compensation, is more densely methylated than the autosomes. This study firmly establishes the presence of cytosine methylation in Drosophila; the temporal overlap of methylation with the maternal-zygotic transition raises the possibility that methylation participates in the transition to zygotic gene expression. To enrich for rare cytosine methylation in Drosophila at embryonic Stage 5 (2-3 hours post-fertilization), we enriched sonicated Stage 5 genomic DNA for methylcytosine by immunoprecipitation with antibody to 5-methylcytosine. The immunoprecipitated DNA was then bisulfite converted and Illumina sequenced to obtain direct evidence for the presence of methylation. The presence and extent of DNA methylation was confirmed by Illumina sequencing of bisulfite-converted PCR amplicons.

Project description:Recent studies have demonstrated that the Ten-eleven translocation (Tet) family proteins can enzymatically convert 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). While 5mC has been studied extensively, little is known about the distribution and function of 5hmC. Here we present a genome-wide profile of 5hmC in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. A combined analysis of global 5hmC distribution and gene expression profile in wild-type and Tet1-depleted ES cells revealed suggests that 5hmC is enriched at both gene bodies of actively transcribed genes and extended promoter regions of Polycomb-repressed developmental regulators. Thus, our study reveals the first genome-wide 5hmC distribution in pluripotent stem cells and supports its dual function in regulating gene expression. Genomic DNA extracted from control (Con) or Tet1 knockdown (KD) mouse ES cells was immunoprecipitated with 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) antibodies and analyzed by NimbleGen 2.1M mouse whole genome tiling microarrays (a 4-array set covering the entired non-repetitive portion of mouse genome). Whole cell extract (WCE) was used as input controls in IP/input experiments.

Project description:DNA methylation is a chromatin modification that is frequently associated with epigenetic regulation in plants and mammals. However, other genetic changes such as transposon insertions also can lead to changes in DNA methylation levels. Genome-wide profiles of DNA methylation levels for 20 maize inbreds were used to discover differentially methylated regions (DMRs). The methylation level for each of these DMRs was also assayed in 31 additional maize genotypes resulting in the discovery of 1,966 common DMRs and 1,754 rare DMRs. Analysis of recombinant inbred lines provides evidence that the majority of DMRs are heritable. A local association scan found that nearly half of the DMRs with common variation are significantly associated with SNPs found within or near the DMR. Many of the DMRs that are significantly associated with local genetic variation are found near transposable elements that may contribute to the DNA methylation variation. The analysis of gene expression in the same samples used for DNA methylation profiling identifies over 300 genes with expression patterns that are significantly associated with the DNA methylation variation among genotypes. Collectively, our results suggest that DNA methylation variation is influenced by genetic and epigenetic variation is often stably inherited and can influence expression level of genes in the population.

Project description:We integrated transcription factor binding regions and mRNA transcript abundance to elucidate the ArgR, Lrp, and TrpR regulon experimentally. To measure transcription factor binding at a genome scale, we employed a ChIP-chip method to derivative strains of E. coli K-12 MG1655 harboring ArgR-8myc, Lrp-8myc, or TrpR-8myc under various conditions. A twelve ChIP-chip study under six separate culture conditions. The high-density oligonucleotide tiling arrays used were consisted of 371,034 oligonucleotide probes spaced 25 bp apart (25-bp overlap between two probes) across the E. coli genome.

Project description:Epigenetic variation describes heritable differences that are not attributable to changes in DNA sequence. Methylation of cytosine residues provides a mechanism for the inheritance of epigenetic information. We have profiled the distribution of DNA methylation in the large, complex genome of Zea mays (ssp. mays). DNA methylation levels are higher near the centromeres and are generally inversely correlated with recombination and gene expression levels. However, genes that are located in non-syntenic genomic positions relative to species related closely to maize exhibit higher levels of DNA methylation independent of expression state. A comparison of the DNA methylation levels in two different inbred genotypes, B73 and Mo17, allowed for the identification of approximately 700 differentially methylated regions. The regions of differential methylation in B73 and Mo17 often occur in intergenic regions but some of these regions are located within or near genes. There is evidence that variation in DNA methylation levels can occur in genomic regions that are identical-by-descent, illustrating the potential for epigenetic variation that is not tightly linked to genetic changes. A comparison of the genotype and epigenotype in a panel of near-isogenic lines reveals evidence for epigenetic variation that is conditioned by linked regions as well as examples of epigenetic variation that is conditioned by unlinked genomic regions. Our many examples of epigenetic variation, including some without tightly linked genetic variation, have implications for plant breeding and for natural selection.

Project description:Epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation can act as heritable marks on a genome leading to unique regulation of genomic sequences. As a transient mark, DNA methylation has been identified as a possible mechanism for reversible genetic regulation of cells derived through either mitotic or meiotic cellular division. Although variation between epigenetic states is known to exist between individuals, there is little known about the variability of DNA methylation patterns between different developmental stages of an individual. We have assessed genome-wide DNA methylation patterns in four tissues of two inbred maize lines: B73 and Mo17. Although hundreds of regions of differential methylation are present between the two genotypes, few examples of tissue-specific DNA methylation variation were observed. The lack of clear epigenetic variation between tissues indicates the limited impact of DNA methylation on developmental processes within maize. meDIP-chip analysis of four maize tissues identifed few tissue-specific DNA methylation variable regions (tDMRs), whereas hundreds of genotype-specific DMRs were identified that were conserved across tissues. Methylation profiles for tassel, embryo, endosperm, and leaf of the maize inbred lines B73 and Mo17. Three biological replications for each tissue of each genotype were performed. A custom 2.1M NimbleGen array (GPL13499) was used for embryo, endosperm, and leaf, and a custom 3x1.4M NimbleGen array containing a subset of probes from the 2.1M NimbleGen array (GPL15621) was used for tassel. All of the processed data is based on the largest number of comparable probes (~1.4M) between the two arrays.

Project description:DNA methylation is a chromatin modification that contributes to epigenetic regulation of gene expression. The inheritance patterns and trans-generational stability of 962 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were assessed in a panel of 71 near-isogenic lines (NILs) derived from maize (Zea mays) inbred lines B73 and Mo17. The majority of DMRs exhibit inheritance patterns that would be expected for local (cis) inheritance of DNA methylation variation such that DNA methylation level was coupled to local genotype. There are few examples of DNA methylation that exhibit trans-acting control or paramutation-like patterns. The cis-controlled DMRs provided an opportunity to study the stability of inheritance for DNA methylation variation. There was very little evidence for alterations of DNA methylation levels at the cis-controlled DMRs during NIL population development. DNA methylation level was associated with local genotypes in all of the >30,000 examined cases except one. Additionally, the majority of the DMRs were not associated with small RNA. Together, our results suggest that a significant portion of DNA methylation variation in maize exhibits cis-controlled inheritance patterns, is highly stable and does not require active programming by small RNAs for maintenance.

Project description:Imprinting describes the differential expression of alleles based upon their parent of origin. Deep sequencing of RNAs from maize endosperm and embryo tissue 14 days after pollination was used to identify imprinted genes among a set of ~12,000 genes that were expressed and contained sequence polymorphisms between the B73 and Mo17 genotypes. The analysis of parent-of-origin patterns of expression resulted in the identification of 100 putative imprinted genes in maize endosperm including 54 maternally expressed genes (MEGs) and 46 paternally expressed genes (PEGs). Three of these genes have been previously identified as imprinted while the remaining 97 genes represent novel imprinted maize genes. A genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation identified regions with reduced endosperm DNA methylation in, or near, 19 of the 100 imprinted genes. The reduced levels of DNA methylation in endosperm are caused by hypomethylation of the maternal allele for both MEGs and PEGs in all cases tested. Many of the imprinted genes with reduced DNA methylation levels also show endosperm-specific expression patterns. The imprinted maize genes were compared with imprinted genes identified in genome-wide screens of rice and Arabidopsis and at least 10 examples of conserved imprinting between maize and each of the other species were identified. Methylation profiles across endosperm tissue in B73 and Mo17 were assayed for three biological replications using a custom 2.1M gene-focused NimbleGen array.
