Project description:The aim of the experiment was to assay every gene in the Escherichia coli genome to identify those that contribute to competition with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A library of transposon-insertion mutants was grown overnight either alone or together with an equal starting number of P. aeruginosa cells. The experiment was also conducted in the presence or absence of glucose to interrogate the effect of a plentiful supply of carbon source. DNA sequencing was then used to reveal the locations of the transposons in every mutant. By comparing the numbers of each mutant between conditions, information can be gained about the relative fitness of that mutant under the conditions tested.

Project description:Somatic transposon mutagenesis in mice is an efficient strategy to investigate the genetic mechanisms of tumorigenesis. The identification of tumor driving transposon insertions traditionally requires the generation of large tumor cohorts to obtain information about common insertion sites. Tumor driving insertions are also characterized by their clonal expansion in tumor tissue, a phenomenon that is facilitated by the slow and evolving transformation process of transposon mutagenesis. We describe here an improved approach for the detection of tumor driving insertions that assesses the clonal expansion of insertions by quantifying the relative proportion of sequence reads obtained in individual tumors. To this end, we have developed a protocol for insertion site sequencing that utilizes acoustic shearing of tumor DNA and Illumina sequencing. We analyzed various solid tumors generated by PiggyBac mutagenesis and for each tumor >10^6 reads corresponding to >10^4 insertion sites were obtained. In each tumor, 9 to 25 insertions stood out by their enriched sequence read frequencies when compared to frequencies obtained from tail DNA controls. These enriched insertions are potential clonally expanded tumor driving insertions, and thus identify candidate cancer genes. The candidate cancer genes of our study comprised many established cancer genes, but also novel candidate genes such as Mastermind-like1 (Mamld1) and Diacylglycerolkinase delta (Dgkd). We show that clonal expansion analysis by high-throughput sequencing is a robust approach for the identification of candidate cancer genes in insertional mutagenesis screens on the level of individual tumors. Solid tumors in mice were generated by somatic transposon mutagenesis with a PiggyBac transposon system. Insertion sites of transposons in 11 tumors and 6 non-cancerous tail controls were determined by Illumina high-throughput sequencing. Insertions were determined both on 5' and 3' sides of the transposon (PB5 and PB3, respectively). Quantitative analysis of read numbers revealed enrichment of certain insertions in tumors, but not in controls, and these enriched insertions identify candidate cancer genes.

Project description:The human gut microbiota is a metabolic organ whose cellular composition is determined by a dynamic process of selection and competition. To identify microbial genes required for establishment of human symbionts in the gut, we developed an approach (insertion-sequencing, or INSeq) based on a mutagenic transposon that allows capture of adjacent chromosomal DNA to define its genomic location. We used massively parallel sequencing to monitor the relative abundance of tens of thousands of transposon mutants of a saccharolytic human gut bacterium, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, as they established themselves in wild-type and immunodeficient gnotobiotic mice, in the presence or absence of other human gut commensals. In vivo selection transforms this population, revealing functions necessary for survival in the gut: we show how this selection is influenced by community composition and competition for nutrients (vitamin B12). INSeq provides a broadly applicable platform to explore microbial adaptation to the gut and other ecosystems. Keywords: Other 57 samples analyzed, 1 of these is the reference (input) sample

Project description:Transposon insertion site sequencing (TIS) is a powerful tool that has significantly advanced our knowledge of functional genomics. While providing valuable insights, these applications of TIS focus on (conditional) gene essentiality and neglect possibly interesting but subtle differences in the importance of genes for fitness. Notably, data from TIS experiments can be used for fitness quantification and constructing genetic interaction maps, though this potential is only sporadically exploited. We aimed to develop a method to quantify the fitness of gene disruption mutants using data obtained from the TIS screen SATAY. This dataset was used to determine the reproducibility of the fitness estimates across biological and technical replicates of the same strain of S. cerevisiae. In addition, a mutant bem3∆ strain was utilized to compare the genetic interactions inferred from these fitness estimates with those documented in published databases. The dataset for the wild-type strain was created by transforming strain yWT01 with plasmid pBK549 and picking 4 different colonies from the transformation plate. These 4 biological replicates were then renamed to FD7, FD9, FD11 and FD12.

Project description:Lipid intermediates derived from sphingolipid metabolism are crucial regulators of mitochondrial function from yeast to humans. Among these intermediates, trans-2-hexadecenal (t-2hex) within the sphingolipid degradation pathway exhibits remarkable efficiency in inducing mitochondria-mediated cell death. In yeast cell cultures, the addition of t-2-hex triggers complete disintegration of the mitochondrial network, leading to subsequent cell death. This effect is particularly pronounced in yeast cells lacking the activity of the t-2-hex degrading enzyme, Hfd1. However, the molecular mechanisms of t-2-hex induction of mitochondrial dysfunction are completely unknown. In this project, we want to exploit the unprecedented power of yeast genetics to unveil novel genetic determinants involved in t-2-hex's pro-apoptotic function. To accomplish this, we employed the SATAY method, which combines saturated transposon mutagenesis with high-throughput sequencing to functionally explore the yeast genome. In our screening approach, hfd1 mutant cells harboring a plasmid-encoded inducible MiniDs transposon were induced by galactose, resulting in extensive integration of the transposon throughout the yeast genome. Cells with the plasmid excised and the transposon genomically integrated were pooled together, creating a high-density transposon library comprising approximately 2.3E+06 independent insertion mutants. Subsequently, the pooled mutant library was subjected to treatment with the mitochondria-mediated death inducer, t-2-hexadecenal. As a control, cells were also incubated with the solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), in which hexadecenal is dissolved. Following the treatments, cells were collected for genomic DNA extraction and digestion, using restriction enzymes with frequent four-base pair recognition sites. The resulting library fragments were circularized using T4 DNA ligase, and the transposon-genome junctions were selectively amplified through PCR with outward-facing primers specific to the transposon. Finally, the pooled and purified amplicons were subjected to massive sequencing on an Illumina MiSeq platform. The obtained sequences were then aligned to the reference genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, allowing for the mapping of transposon insertions and the calculation of transposon counts per gene. This project enabled the identification of genes required for the resistance and toxicity to t-2hex.

Project description:The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a highly powerful model for systems genetics. While the advent of ordered deletion libraries has considerably facilitated yeast screening, it has also narrowed the diversity of screenable variants and precluded the exploration of the non-coding genome. Here, we present a versatile, time- and work-efficient method to functionally explore the yeast genome at an unprecedented throughput and resolution, using saturated transposon mutagenesis coupled to high-throughput sequencing. SAturated Transposon Analysis in Yeast (SATAY) allows the one-step mapping of all genetic loci in which a transposon can be inserted without disrupting a function necessary for cell growth. SATAY is especially suited to discover loci important for growth in various conditions. Here, we demonstrate that SATAY can be used to (2) reveal genetic interactions in single and multiple mutant strains, (1) reveal drug-resistant and -sensitive mutants, (3) detect not only essential genes, but also essential functional protein domains, and (4) generate not only null alleles, but also other informative genetic variants. Thus SATAY allows to easily explore the yeast genome at an unprecedented resolution and throughput.

Project description:The ability to chronicle transcription factor binding events throughout the development of an organism would facilitate mapping of transcriptional networks that control cell fate decisions. We describe a method for permanently recording protein-DNA interactions in mammalian cells. We endow transcription factors with the ability to deposit a transposon into the genome near to where they bind. The transposon becomes a M-bM-^@M-^\Calling CardM-bM-^@M-^] the transcription factor leaves behind to record its visit to the genome. The locations of the Calling Cards can be determined by massively-parallel DNA sequencing. We show that the transcription factor SP1 fused to the piggyBac transposase directs insertion of the piggyBac transposon near SP1 binding sites. The locations of transposon insertions are highly reproducible, and agree with sites of SP1-binding determined by ChIP-seq. Genes bound by SP1 are more likely to be expressed in the HCT116 cell line we used, and SP1-bound CpG islands show a strong preference to be unmethylated. This method has the potential to trace transcription factor binding throughout cellular and organismal development in a way that has heretofore not been possible. These data contain mapped insertion sites from the piggyBac (PB) transposon into HCT116 cell line and sequenced using an Illumina GAII analyzer. The first set contains the insertion sites of transposons mapped from the wild-type PB transposase and the second set contains the insertion sites of transposons mapped with the PB transposase fused to the transcription factor SP1. Other sequencing data present are ChIP-seq data for SP1 in the HCT116 cell line and RNA-seq data.

Project description:The transposon site hybridization (TraSH) technique (Sassetti, CM et al. 2001. PNAS 98:12712-7) was utilized to identify genes important for the survival of Y. pestis within murine macrophages. A transposon library was created with ~31,500 Y. pestis KIM6+ insertion mutants. A portion of the Y. pestis transposon insertion mutant library was used to infect BMMs and the surviving bacteria (output pool) were recovered. TraSH was used to compare the output pool to a portion of the library that was not subjected to selection (input pool) in order to identify Y. pestis genes important for survival in macrophages. Each end of the transposon used for mutagenesis contains an outward-reading T7 RNA polymerase promoter. RNAs transcribed from the T7 promoters are complementary to the chromosomal DNA flanking each transposon in the library, so the RNAs can be used as “targets” to identify the approximate position of each transposon insertion in the mutant pool. Differentially labeled targets generated from the output and input pools are competitively hybridized to the 70-mer oligonucleotide microarrays obtained from Pathogen Functional Genomics Resource Center/J. Craig Venter Institute. Genes important for survival of Y. pestis in macrophages are identified by determining the ratio of the signal intensities for the output and input targets hybridizing to a given probe.
