Project description:We have combined the 4C chromosome conformation capture protocol with high throughput, genome-wide sequence analysis to characterise in full a cis-acting regulatory network at a single locus. In contrast to methods which identify large interacting regions (10-1000kb), the 4C approach provides a comprehensive, high resolution analysis of a specific locus with the aim of defining, in detail, all cis- regulatory elements controlling a single gene or gene cluster. Using the human α-globin locus as a model we detected all known local and long-range interactions with this gene cluster. In addition we identified two interactions with genes located 300 kb (NME4) and 625 kb (FAM173a) from the α-globin cluster. Using paired-end sequencing it was possible for the first time to identify interactions between specific subsets of cis-regulatory elements in populations of cells and within individual cells.

Project description:Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most frequent birth defect and affects nearly 1% of newborns. The etiology of CHD is largely unknown and only a small percentage can be assigned to environmental risk factors such as maternal diseases or exposure to mutagenic agents during pregnancy. Chromosomal imbalances have been identified in many forms of syndromic CHD, but next to nothing is known about the impact of DNA copy number changes in non-syndromic CHD. Here we present a sub-megabase resolution array CGH screen of a cohort with CHD as the sole abnormality at the time of diagnosis. Keywords: array CGH In this BAC array CGH study 104 patients with congenital heart disease and some of their parents were screened for DNA copy number changes at submegabase resolution. No dye swap was performed.

Project description:Immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR) is initiated by the transcription-coupled recruitment of activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) to switch regions and by the subsequent generation and resolution of dsDNA breaks (DSBs). During, CSR the IgH locus undergoes dynamic three-dimensional structural changes in which promoters, enhancers and switch regions are brought to close proximity. Nevertheless, little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Here we show that during CSR, AID associates with subunits of cohesin, a complex previously implicated in DNA repair and in the formation of DNA loops between enhancers and promoters. By ChIP-Seq experiments, we find that Cohesin is dynamically recruited to the IgH locus during CSR and that knockdown of Cohesin or its regulatory subunits results in impaired CSR and abnormal DSB resolution. Our results are consistent with a model in which Cohesin controls the formation of long-range DNA loops at the IgH locus and the resolution of DSBs generated during CSR. Smc1, Smc3 and CTCF were immunoprecipitated from resting or in vitro activated B cells.

Project description:The immunoglobulin heavy-chain (Igh) locus undergoes large-scale contraction in pro-B cells, which facilitates VH-DJH recombination by juxtaposing distal VH genes next to the DJH- rearranged gene segment in the proximal Igh domain. By high-resolution mapping of long-range interactions, we now demonstrate that an array of local interaction domains establishes the three- dimensional structure of the extended Igh locus in lymphoid progenitors and thymocytes. In pro- B cells, these local domains engage in long-range interactions across the entire Igh locus, which depend on the transcription factors Pax5, YY1 and CTCF. The large VH gene cluster thereby undergoes flexible long-range interactions with the more rigidly structured 3M-bM-^@M-^Y proximal domain, which ensures that all VH genes can participate with similar probability in VH-DJH recombination to generate a diverse antibody repertoire. Notably, these long-range interactions appear to be an intrinsic feature of the VH gene cluster, as they are still generated upon mutation of the EM-NM-< enhancer, IGCR1 insulator or 3M-bM-^@M-^Y regulatory region present in the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y proximal Igh domain. 4C sequencing from mutliple celltypes with multiple viewpoints; uneven number of replicates ChIP-Seq

Project description:The architecture and function of chromatin are largely regulated by local interacting molecules, such as transcription factors and noncoding RNAs. However, our understanding of these regulatory molecules at a given locus is limited because of technical difficulties. Here, we describe the use of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and an engineered ascorbate peroxidase 2 (APEX2) system to investigate local chromatin interactions (CAPLOCUS). We showed that with specific small-guide RNA targets, CAPLOCUS could efficiently identify both repetitive genomic regions and single-copy genomic locus with high resolution. Genome-wide sequencing revealed known and potential long-range chromatin interactions for a specific single-copy locus. CAPLOCUS also identified telomere-associated RNA. CAPLOCUS, followed by mass spectrometry, identified both known and novel telomere-associated proteins in their native states. Thus, CAPLOCUS may be a useful approach for studying local interacting molecules at any given chromosomal location.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can be important components in gene regulatory networks1, but we are only beginning to understand the nature and extent of their involvement in human Mendelian disease. Here we show that deletions of an unannotated lncRNA locus on human chromosome 2 cause a severe congenital limb malformation. Using exome sequencing and array CGH, we identified homozygous 27-63 kb deletions located 300 kb upstream of the engrailed-1 (EN1) gene in patients with a complex limb malformation, featuring mesomelic shortening, syndactyly, and ventral nails (dorsal dimelia). Re-engineering of the human deletions in mice resulted in a complete loss of limb-specific En1 expression and a double dorsal limb phenotype, recapitulating the human malformation. Genome-wide analysis in the developing mouse limb revealed the presence of a 4-exon long non-coding transcript within the deleted region, which we named Maenli (for Master activator of En1 in the limb). Functional dissection of the Maenli locus showed that limb-specific En1 expression depends on transcription of Maenli and its loss resulted in the double dorsal limb phenotype. Concomitant monoallelic inactivation of En1 and Maenli in double heterozygous mice did not rescue the limb phenotype, indicating that En1 activation in the limb requires the cis-acting regulatory element Maenli. Moreover, our results strongly suggest that En1 activation is dependent on Maenli transcription, but not on the Maenli RNA itself. Thus, Maenli expression in the limb acts in cis to promote En1 transcriptional activation; its loss results in congenital malformation of the limbs, a subset of the full En1 associated phenotype. Together, our findings provide evidence that mutations involving lncRNAs loci can result in human Mendelian disease.
