The genetic etiology of non-aneuploid fetal structural abnormalities is typically investigated by karyotyping and array-based detection of microscopically detectable rearrangements, and submicroscopic copy-number variants (CNVs), which collectively yield a pathogenic finding in up to 10% of cases. We propose that exome sequencing may substantially increase the identification of underlying etiologies. We performed exome sequencing on a cohort of 30 non-aneuploid fetuses and neonates (along with t ...[more]

Project description:This project is to explore the contribution of de novo mutations to severe structural malformations diagnosed prenatally using ultrasound. These malformations include heart, CNS, renal and GI abnormalities. In this pilot project we aim to exome sequence 30 parent-foetus trios to ~50X mean coverage and identify de novo functional variants using an algorithm developed in the Hurles group

Project description:Chromothripsis represents an extreme class of complex chromosome rearrangements (CCRs) with major effects on chromosomal architecture. Although recent studies have associated chromothripsis with congenital abnormalities, the incidence and pathogenic effects of this phenomenon require further investigation. Here, we analyzed the genomes of three families in which chromothripsis rearrangements were transmitted from a mother to her child. The chromothripsis in the mothers resulted in completely balanced rearrangements involving 8-23 breakpoint junctions across 3-5 chromosomes. Two mothers did not show any phenotypic malformations, although 3-13 protein coding genes were affected by breakpoints. Unbalanced but stable transmission of a subset of the derivative chromosomes caused apparently de novo complex copy number changes in two children. This resulted in gene dosage changes, which are likely responsible for their severe congenital phenotypes. In contrast, one child with severe congenital disease, carried all three chromothripsis chromosomes from his healthy mother, but one of the chromosomes acquired de novo rearrangements leading to copy number changes. These results show that the human genome can tolerate extreme reshuffling of chromosomal architecture, including breakage of multiple protein coding genes, without noticeable phenotypic effects. The presence of chromothripsis in healthy individuals strongly affects reproduction and is expected to substantially increase the risk of spontaneous abortions and severe congenital disease. We analyzed one patient-parent-mother's parents quintet (case 1) and a patient-siblings-parent quintet (case 2) with Illumina beadchip arrays and one patient-parent trio (case 3) to test for (de novo) copy number variants and to analyze the parental origin of the complex rearrangements in these patients. Here, we analyzed one patient-parent-mother's parents quintet to test for (de novo) copy number variants and to analyze the parental origin of the complex rearrangements in these patients.

This study represents one child-parent trio (case 3) test for (de novo) copy number variants in the child.

Although recent studies have associated chromothripsis with congenital abnormalities, the incidence and pathogenic effects of this phenomenon require further investigation. Here, we analyzed the genomes of three families in which chromothripsis rearrangements were transmitted from a female carrier to her child. The chromothripsis in the carriers resulted in completely balanced rearrangements involving 8-23 breakpoint junctions across 3-5 chromosomes. Two carriers did not show any phenotypic malformations, although 3-13 protein coding genes were affected by breakpoints.

For case 2, the mother and patient's SNP array data was previously submitted [GSE37906]. aCGH data for case 3 is submitted seperately.

Project description:Exome sequencing of 30 parent-offspring trios to >50X mean depth, where the offspring has sporadic TOF, to identify potential causal de novo mutations. We will use the exome plus design for pulldown that incorporates ~6.8Mb of additional regulatory sequences in addition to the ~50Mb GENCODE exome.

Project description:For this project, we have sequenced, assembled and annotated a transcriptome of a diploid wheat Triticum urartu accession PI 428198. The sequencing libraries were prepared from shoot and root tissues harvested from 2-3 week old seedlings. All sequencing was carried out on the Illumina HiSeq platform using the 100 bp pair-end protocol (248.5 million reads). The assembly was constructed using a multiple k-mer approach with a de novo assembly algorithm implemented in CLC Genomics Workbench 5.5 and additional redundancy reduction with CD-HIT and blast2cap3 programs. Open reading frames and proteins were predicted using BLASTX searches and a findorf algorithm.

Project description:Dependent on concise, pre-defined protein sequence databases, traditional search algorithms perform poorly when analyzing mass spectra derived from wholly uncharacterized protein products. Conversely, de novo peptide sequencing algorithms can interpret mass spectra without relying on reference databases. However, such algorithms have been difficult to apply to complex protein mixtures, in part due to a lack of methods for automatically validating de novo sequencing results. Here, we present novel metrics for benchmarking de novo sequencing algorithm performance on large scale proteomics datasets, and present a method for accurately calibrating false discovery rates on de novo results. We also present a novel algorithm (LADS) which leverages experimentally disambiguated fragmentation spectra to boost sequencing accuracy and sensitivity. LADS improves sequencing accuracy on longer peptides relative to other algorithms and improves discriminability of correct and incorrect sequences. Using these advancements, we demonstrate accurate de novo identification of peptide sequences not identifiable using database search-based approaches.
