Project description:The history of human settlement in Southeast Asia has been complex and involved several distinct dispersal events. Here we report the analyses of 1825 individuals from Southeast Asia including new genome-wide genotype data for 146 individuals from three Mainland Southeast Asian (Burmese, Malay and Vietnamese) and four Island Southeast Asian (Dusun, Filipino, Kankanaey and Murut) populations. While confirming the presence of previously recognized major ancestry components in the Southeast Asian population structure, we highlight the Kankanaey Igorots from the highlands of the Philippine Mountain Province as likely the closest living representatives of the source population that may have given rise to the Austronesian expansion. This conclusion rests on independent evidence from various analyses of autosomal data and uniparental markers.

Project description:Linguistic and cultural evidence suggests that Madagascar was the final point of two major dispersals of Austronesian and Bantu speaking populations. Today, Mikea are described as the last known Malagasy population reported to be still practising a hunter-gatherer life-style. It is unclear, however, whether Mikea descend from a remnant population that existed before the arrival of Austronesian and Bantu agriculturalists or whether it is only their life-style that separates them from the other contemporary populations of South Madagascar. In order to address these questions we have performed a genome wide analysis of >700,000 SNP markers on 21 Mikea, 24 Vezo and 24 Temoro individuals together with 50 individuals from Bajo and Lebbo populations from Indonesia. Our analyses of these data in the context of data available from other Southeast Asian and African populations reveal that all three Malagasy populations are derived from the same admixture event involving Austronesian and Bantu sources. In contrast to the fact that most of the vocabulary of the Malagasy speakers is derived from the Barito group of the Austronesian language family we observe that only one third of their genetic ancestry is related to the populations of Java-Kalimantan-Sulawesi area. Because no additional ancestry components distinctive to for the Mikea were found, it is likely that they have adopted their hunter-gatherer way of life by through cultural reversion. 69 samples were analysed with the Illumina platform OmniExpress BeadChips and are described herein.

Project description:Only a few scattered groups with oral traditions of Khoe-San hunter-gatherer ancestry remain in southeastern Africa. We investigate genomic variation of remaining individuals from two South African groups with oral histories connecting them to eastern San groups, i.e., the San from Lake Chrissie and the Duma San of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg. Using ~2.2 million genetic markers, combined with comparative published datasets, we show that the Lake Chrissie San have genetic ancestry from both Khoe-San (likely the ||Xegwi San) and Bantu-speakers. Specifically, we found that the Lake Chrissie San are closely related to current southern San groups (i.e. the Karretjie People). Duma San individuals, on the other hand, were genetically similar to southeastern Bantu speakers from South Africa. Samples were genotyped on the Illumina Omni2.5M (HumanOmni25-8v1-2_A1) SNP chip. Results were analyzed using the software GenomeStudio 2011.1 and the data were exported to Plink format, aligned to Human Genome build version 37.

Project description:Background: Mortality from preeclampsia (PE) and PE-associated morbidities are 3-to 5-fold higher in persons of African ancestry than in those of Asian and European ancestries. The placenta is central to the etiology of PE. However, how and to what extent the placenta contributes to worse PE outcomes in persons of African ancestry is yet to be fully elucidated. Objective: We aimed to identify molecular pathways that are unique or enriched in placentas of parturient persons of African ancestry with PE with severe features (sPE) compared to those of Asian and European ancestry with sPE. Study design: Bulk RNA sequencing was performed on 50 placentas from parturient persons with sPE of African (n=9), Asian (n=18) and European (n=23) ancestries and 73 normotensive controls of African (n=9), Asian (n=15) and European (n=49) ancestries. Results: Metabolism, hormone regulation and hypoxia/angiogenesis genes, previously described to be upregulated in PE, including: LEP, PAPPA2, INHA, FSTL3, FLT1, PHYHIP and ENG, were upregulated in sPE across ancestries, with high expression of FSTL3 being additionally associated with intrauterine growth restriction (p<.0001). Notably, LEP, FLT1 and PHYHIP were more highly upregulated in sPE placentas from parturient persons of African versus Asian ancestry. Genes associated with allograft rejection and adaptive immune response were selectively upregulated in placentas from African ancestry parturitions and not in those of Asian and European ancestries. Among the allograft rejection/adaptive immune response genes, IL3RA was of particular interest because the patient with the highest placental IL3RA level, a woman of African ancestry with IL3RA levels 4.5-fold above the average for African ancestry parturitions with sPE, developed postpartum cardiomyopathy, and was the only patient out of 123, that developed this condition. Interestingly, the sPE patients of Asian and European ancestries with the highest IL3RA levels for their ancestries developed unexplained tachycardia peripartum, necessitating echocardiography in the European ancestry patient. The association between elevated placental IL3RA levels and unexplained tachycardia or peripartum cardiomyopathy was found to be significant in the 50 sPE patients (p=.0005). Conclusions: African ancestry parturitions are associated with higher placental upregulation of metabolism (LEP) and hypoxia/angiogenesis (FLT1) genes, and selective upregulation of allograft rejection/adaptive immune response genes, including IL3RA. High placental expression of IL3RA may predict worse maternal cardiovascular outcomes, including peripartum cardiomyopathy. Studies evaluating placental IL3RA levels in peripartum cardiomyopathy cohorts are therefore warranted, as are broader studies evaluating placental factors in maternal cardiovascular outcomes postpartum.

Project description:We examined genome-wide variation in transcription factor binding in different individuals and a chimpanzee using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by massively-parallel sequencing (ChIP-Seq). The binding sites of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) as well as a key regulator of immune responses, NFkB, were mapped in ten HapMap lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from individuals of African, European, and Asian ancestry, including a parent-offspring trio. We also mapped gene expression in all ten human cell lines for two treatment conditions: a) no treatment and b) following induction by TNF-alpha. Genome-wide comparison of Pol II and NF-KappaB binding in ten individuals. RNA-seq study with TNF-alpha treatment.
