Cis-regulatory architecture of human ESC-derived hypothalamic neuron differentiation aids in variant-to-gene mapping of relevant complex traits.

ABSTRACT: The hypothalamus regulates metabolic homeostasis by influencing behavior and endocrine systems. Given its role governing key traits, such as body weight and reproductive timing, understanding the genetic regulation of hypothalamic development and function could yield insights into disease pathogenesis. However, given its inaccessibility, studying human hypothalamic gene regulation has proven challenging. To address this gap, we generate a high-resolution chromatin architecture atlas of an established embryonic stem cell derived hypothalamic-like neuron model across three stages of in vitro differentiation. We profile accessible chromatin and identify physical contacts between gene promoters and putative cis-regulatory elements to characterize global regulatory landscape changes during hypothalamic differentiation. Next, we integrate these data with GWAS loci for various complex traits, identifying multiple candidate effector genes. Our results reveal common target genes for these traits, potentially affecting core developmental pathways. Our atlas will enable future efforts to determine hypothalamic mechanisms influencing disease susceptibility.

Mapping the cis-regulatory architecture of the human retina reveals noncoding genetic variation in disease.

Project description:The interplay of transcription factors and cis-regulatory elements (CREs) orchestrates the dynamic and diverse genetic programs that assemble the human central nervous system (CNS) during development and maintain its function throughout life. Genetic variation within CREs plays a central role in phenotypic variation in complex traits including the risk of developing disease. We took advantage of the retina, a well-characterized region of the CNS known to be affected by pathogenic variants in CREs, to establish a roadmap for characterizing regulatory variation in the human CNS. This comprehensive analysis of tissue-specific regulatory elements, transcription factor binding, and gene expression programs in three regions of the human visual system (retina, macula, and retinal pigment epithelium/choroid) reveals features of regulatory element evolution that shape tissue-specific gene expression programs and defines regulatory elements with the potential to contribute to Mendelian and complex disorders of human vision.

Dissecting Adaptive Traits with Nested Association Mapping: Genetic Architecture of Inflorescence Morphology in Sorghum.

Project description:In the cereal crop sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) inflorescence morphology variation underlies yield variation and confers adaptation across precipitation gradients, but its genetic basis is poorly understood. We characterized the genetic architecture of sorghum inflorescence morphology using a global nested association mapping (NAM) population (2200 recombinant inbred lines) and 198,000 phenotypic observations from multi-environment trials for four inflorescence morphology traits (upper branch length, lower branch length, rachis length, and rachis diameter). Trait correlations suggest that lower and upper branch length are under somewhat independent control, while lower branch length and rachis diameter are highly pleiotropic. Joint linkage and genome-wide association mapping revealed an oligogenic architecture with 1-22 QTL per trait, each explaining 0.1-5.0% of variation across the entire NAM population. There is a significant enrichment (2.twofold) of QTL colocalizing with grass inflorescence gene homologs, notably with orthologs of maize Ramosa2 and rice Aberrant Panicle Organization1 and TAWAWA1 Still, many QTL do not colocalize with inflorescence gene homologs. In global georeferenced germplasm, allelic variation at the major inflorescence QTL is geographically patterned but only weakly associated with the gradient of annual precipitation. Comparison of NAM with diversity panel association suggests that naive association models may capture some true associations not identified by mixed linear models. Overall, the findings suggest that global inflorescence diversity in sorghum is largely controlled by oligogenic, epistatic, and pleiotropic variation in ancestral regulatory networks. The findings also provide a basis for genomics-enabled breeding of locally-adapted inflorescence morphology.
