Project description:Rapid advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies are accelerating the pace of research into personalized medicine. While methods for variant discovery and genotyping from whole genome sequencing (WGS) datasets have been well established, linking variants together into a single haplotype remains a challenge. An understanding of complete haplotypes of an individual will help clarify the consequences of inheriting multiple alleles in combination, identify novel disease associations, and augment studies of gene regulation. Although numerous methods have been developed to reconstruct haplotypes from WGS data, chromosome-span haplotypes at high resolution have been difficult to obtain. Here we present a novel method to accurately reconstruct chromosome-span haplotypes from proximity-ligation and DNA shotgun sequencing. We demonstrate the utility of this approach in producing high-resolution chromosome-span haplotype phasing in mouse and human. While proximity-ligation based methods were originally designed to investigate spatial organization of the genome, our results lend support for their use as a general tool for haplotyping in the future.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies have associated thousands of genetic variants with complex traits and diseases, but pinpointing the causal variant(s) among those in tight linkage disequilibrium with each associated variant remains a major challenge. Here, we used seven experimental assays to characterize all common variants at the multiple disease-associated TNFAIP3 locus in three disease-relevant immune cell types, based on a set of features related to regulatory potential. Trait/disease-associated variants were enriched among SNPs prioritized based on either: (1) residing within CRISPRi-sensitive regulatory regions, or (2) localizing in a chromatin accessible region while displaying allele-specific reporter activity. Of the 15 trait/disease-associated haplotypes at TNFAIP3, 9 had at least one variant meeting one or both of these criteria, with 3 of these haplotypes having a single prioritized variant. 5 of the 9 prioritized variants were further supported by genetic fine-mapping in our and other studies. Our work provides evidence for the efficacy and limitations of strategies for prioritizing disease- and trait-associated genetic variants.

Project description:A method to infer genome-wide haplotypes from the analysis of one or two single (human) cells has tremendous applicative value. It would revolutionize not only preimplantation genetic diagnosis of in vitro fertilized human embryos in the clinic, but also animal breeding programs by enabling genome-wide quantitative trait loci selection at the embryonic level. In addition, it allows to further scrutinize drivers of haplotype diversity, mainly meiotic homologous recombination as well as somatic (homologous) recombination processes that occur often during (human) tumorigenesis. We developed a generic approach to type genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms in single human cells and to reconstruct genome-wide haplotypes of single or dual cell derived genotypes. Genome-wide sequences of syntenic alleles were determined for EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cells as well as human blastomeres. To this end, multiple displacement amplified DNA samples of single cells were hybridized to Affymetrix 250K SNP-arrays. Different algorithmic designs were subsequently developed to assess from the single cell-derived SNP-probe intensities the sequence of syntenic alleles and to pinpoint accurately the majority of parental homologous recombination sites using a linkage-based approach.

Project description:Single-cell whole-genome haplotyping allows simultaneous detection of haplotypes associated with monogenic diseases, chromosome copy-numbering and subsequently, has revealed mosaicism in embryos and embryonic stem cells. Methods, such as karyomapping and haplarithmisis, were deployed as a generic and genome-wide approach for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) and are replacing traditional PGT methods. While current methods primarily rely on SNP array, we envision sequencing-based methods to become more accessible and cost-efficient. Here, we developed a novel sequencing-based methodology to haplotype and copy-number profile single cells. Following DNA amplification, genomic size and complexity is reduced through restriction enzyme digestion and DNA is genotyped through sequencing. This single-cell genotyping-by-sequencing (scGBS) is the input for haplarithmisis, an algorithm we previously developed for SNP array-based single-cell haplotyping. We established technical parameters and developed an analysis pipeline enabling accurate concurrent haplotyping and copy-number profiling of single cells. We demonstrate its value in human blastomere and trophectoderm samples as application for PGT for monogenic disorders. Furthermore, we demonstrate the method to work in other species through analyzing blastomeres of bovine embryos. Our scGBS method opens up the path for single-cell haplotyping of any species with diploid genomes and could make its way into the clinic as a PGT application.

Project description:Biliary atresia (BA), blockage of the proper bile flow due to loss of extrahepatic bile ducts, is a rare, complex disease of the liver and the bile ducts with unknown etiology. Despite ongoing investigations to understand its complex pathogenesis, BA remains the most common cause of liver failure requiring liver transplantation in children. To elucidate underlying mechanisms, we analyzed the different types of high-throughput genomic and transcriptomic data collected from the blood and liver tissue samples of children suffering from BA. Through use of a novel integrative approach, we identified potential biomarkers and over-represented biological functions and pathways to derive a comprehensive network showing the dysfunctional mechanisms associated with BA. One of the pathways highlighted in the integrative network was hypoxia signaling. Perturbation with hypoxia inducible factor activator, dimethyloxalylglycine, induced the biliary defects of BA in a zebrafish model, serving as a validation for our studies. Our approach enables a systems-level understanding of human BA biology that is highlighted by the interaction between key biological functions such as fibrosis, inflammation, immunity, hypoxia, and development

Project description:Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes are associated with phenotypes and disease. To understand how mtDNA haplotypes induce these characteristics, we used four embryonic stem cell lines that have the same set of chromosomes but possess different mtDNA haplotypes. We show that mtDNA haplotypes influence changes in chromosomal gene expression and affinity for nuclear-encoded mtDNA replication factors to modulate mtDNA copy number, two events that act synchronously during differentiation. Global DNA methylation analysis showed that each haplotype induces distinct DNA methylation patterns, which, when modulated by DNA demethylation agents resulted in skewed gene expression patterns that highlight the effectiveness of the new DNA methylation patterns established by each haplotype. The haplotypes differentially regulate α-ketoglutarate, a metabolite from the TCA cycle that modulates the TET family of proteins, which catalyse the transition from 5-methylcytosine (DNA methylation) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (DNA demethylation). Our outcomes show a direct link between mtDNA haplotypes and DNA methylation profiles.
