Project description:Background: Copy number variation is an important component of genetic variation in higher eukaryotes. The extent of natural copy number variation in C. elegans is unknown outside of 2 highly divergent wild isolates and the canonical N2 Bristol strain. Results: We have used array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) to detect copy number variation in the genomes of 12 natural isolates of Caenorhabditis elegans. Deletions relative to the canonical N2 strain are more common in these isolates than duplications, and indels are enriched in multigene families on the autosome arms. Among the strains in our study, the Hawaiian and Madeiran strains (CB4856 and JU258) carry the largest number of deletions, followed by the Vancouver strain (KR314). Overall we detected 510 different deletions affecting 1136 genes, or over 5% of the genes in the canonical N2 genome. The indels we identified had a median length of 2.7 kb. Since many deletions are found in multiple isolates, deletion loci were used as markers to derive an unrooted tree to estimate genetic relatedness among the strains. Conclusion: Copy number variation is extensive in C. elegans, affecting over 5% of the genes in the genome. The deletions we have detected in natural isolates of C. elegans contribute significantly to the number of deletion alleles available to researchers. The relationships between strains are complex and different regions of the genome possess different genealogies due to recombination throughout the natural history of the species, which may not be apparent in studies utilizing smaller numbers of genetic markers. Twelve C. elegans natural isolate samples were studied. There were no replicates or dye-swap hybridizations.

Project description:The study of natural genetic variation for plant disease resistance responses is a complementary approach to utilizing mutants to elucidate genetic pathways. While some key genes involved in pathways controlling disease resistance, and signaling intermediates such as salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA), have been identified through mutational analyses, the use of genetic variation in natural populations permits the identification of change-of-function alleles, which likely act in a quantitative manner. Whole genome microarrays, such as Affymetrix GeneChips, allow for molecular characterization of the disease response at a genomics level and characterization of differences in gene expression due to natural variation. Differences in the level of gene expression, or expression level polymorphisms (ELPs), can be mapped in a segregating population to identify regulatory quantitative trait loci (expression QTLs, e-QTLs) affecting host resistance responses. We assessed Arabidopsis accessions Bayreuth-0 (Bay-0) and Shahdara (Sha) for natural variation in the response to JA. We treated vegetatively grown plants with either JA or a control solution (Silwet), and harvested the plants 4, 28, or 52 hours after chemical treatment. We present Affymetrix GeneChip microarray expression data for 2 biological replications of the control (Silwet) samples for Bay-0 and Sha. These GeneChips were used to generate genetic markers which allowed the development of high-density haplotype maps of a Bay-0 x Sha RIL population.

Project description:The role natural selection plays in governing the locations and early evolution of copy number mutations remains largely unexplored. Here we employ high-density full-genome tiling arrays to create a fine-scale genomic map of copy number polymorphisms (CNPs) in Drosophila melanogaster. We inferred a total of 2,658 independent CNPs, 56% of which overlap genes. These include CNPs likely to be under positive selection, most notably high frequency duplications encompassing toxin-response genes. The locations and frequencies of CNPs are strongly shaped by purifying selection with deletions under stronger purifying selection than duplications. Among duplications, those overlapping exons or introns and those falling on the X-chromosome seem to be subject to the strongest purifying selection. In order to characterize copy number polymorphisms (CNPs) in Drosophila malanogaster, we applied comparative genome hybridization (CGH) using tiling arrays covering the full euchromatic genome of Drosophila melanogaster. We inferred copy number changes with a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) that returned the posterior probabilities for copy number by comparing DNA hybridization intensities between natural isolates and the reference genome strain. Training data for copy number changes were obtained via hybridization with a line known to contain a ~200kb homozygous duplication and from a set of 52 validated homozygous deletions. The probabilities of mutation were parsed to make CNP calls. Key words: comparative genomic hybridization, CGH, copy number polymorphism, CNP, copy number variation, CNV, duplication, deletion

Project description:Molecular genetic research relies heavily on the ability to detect polymorphisms in DNA. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most frequent form of DNA variation in the genome. In combination with a PCR assay, the corresponding SNP can be analyzed as a derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (dCAPS) marker. The dCAPS method exploits the well-known specificity of a restriction endonuclease for its recognition site and can be used to virtually detect any SNP. Here, we describe the use of the dCAPS method for detecting single-nucleotide changes by means of a barley EST, CK569932, PCR-based marker.

Project description:Cytokines augment T cell function, but the nature of the optimal signals are not well defined. We deployed orthogonal cytokine-receptors to diversify the JAK/STAT signaling profiles elicited by orthogonal IL-2. We designed chimeric receptors consisting of the orthogonal IL-2 receptor extracellular domain (ECD) fused to intracellular domains (ICDs) from receptors for other common gamma chain cytokines as well as ICDs from interferon receptor, IL-10 receptor and homodimeric receptor families not expressed on T cells. Such non-natural pairings with the common gamma chain expand the JAK/STAT signaling space in T cells. Natural and non-natural orthogonal chimeric receptors led to distinct T cell fates in tumors, including naturally occurring states (Tc2 differentiation driven by orthogonal chimeric IL4R) and synthetic states (myeloid-like T cells driven by orthogonal chimeric granulocyte colony stimulating factor receptor). The orthogonal chimeric IL22R (o22R) potently activated STAT-1, -3, -4, and -5, imparting T cells with stem-like and effector properties. The pronounced anti-tumor functionality mediated by o22R and oGCSFR was linked to remodeling of the exhaustion-associated epigenome. Our study broadens the cytokine receptor repertoire, providing novel solutions to overcome barriers for using engineered T cells to treat cancer.

Project description:Recent advancements in genome sequencing have facilitated accessing the natural genetic diversity of species, unveiling hidden genetic traits, clarifying gene functions, and the degree to which laboratory studies can be generalized. One notable discovery is the frequent (~20%) aneuploidy - an imbalance in chromosome copy numbers - in natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc) isolates, despite the significant fitness costs and transient nature reported for lab-engineered yeast aneuploids. To examine this discrepancy, we adapted a high-throughput proteomic platform to analyze the proteome of 800 diverse yeast isolates. Matching these proteomes to the natural isolates’ genomes, transcriptomes, as well as generating ubiquitinome and protein turnover data for selected isolates, we report that natural and lab-generated aneuploids differ specifically at the proteome. While lab-generated aneuploids attenuate specific proteins – mostly protein complex subunits – and do not alter the average gene dosage provided by chromosome duplications, in natural strains, 70% of proteins encoded on aneuploid chromosomes are attenuated, and protein levels are shifted towards the euploid state chromosome-wide. Our data links chromosome-wide dosage compensation in natural strains to i) genome-wide buffering of gene expression changes manifesting in trans on euploid chromosomes, ii) increased expression of structural components of the ubiquitin proteasome system, and iii) increased global rates of protein turnover. Our results encourage the exploitation of natural diversity of species to understand complex biological processes at the molecular level. This submission contains the raw files for the disomics lab engineered strains, the library used for the analysis and the corresponding DIA-NN report and associated files.
