Project description:The purpose of these experiments was to determine the 5' and 3' transcriptional termini of genes on chromosomes 21-22. Towards this end, we mapped the poly A + RNA isolated from 12 normal tissues and four cell lines. For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf polyA+ RNAs from 11 tissues (Brain Frontal Lobe, Brain Hippocampus, Brain Hypothalamus, Cerebellum, Ovary, Placenta, Prostate, Testis, Fetal Kidney, Fetal Spleen, Fetal Thymus; all from BD Clontech) and 5 cell lines (GM06990, HeLaS3, HepG2, K562, tert-BJ) using the BD SMARTTM RACE cDNA amplification kit (BD Clontech Cat. No.634914). A single array with no replicates was run for each sample with a pool of ~23-24 RACE reactions per sample.

Project description:The purpose of these experiments was to determine the 5' and 3' transcriptional termini of genes on chromosomes 21-22. Towards this end, we first carried out 5’ and 3’ RACE reactions from 1193 exons from 492 genes in these chromosomes using RNA isolated from 11 normal tissues and 5 cell lines. An average of 3 to 4 RACE reactions (5’ and 3’) was carried out from each gene. The products of the RACE reactions were analyzed by hybridization to tiling arrays interrogating the non-repeat portions of these chromosomes at 17 nucleotide resolution. A total of 26,688 RACE reactions were performed and pooled to be placed on to 1020 tiling arrays For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf

Project description:Forum domains are stretches of chromosomal DNA that are excised from eukaryotic chromosomes during their spontaneous non-random fragmentation. Mostly forum domains are of 50-200 kb in length, although larger domains, up to 500 - 700 kb, are also observed. We performed a genome-wide mapping of forum domains termini in human HEK293T cells cultured cells using deep sequencing of the termini. We found that forum domains termini correspond to the fragile sites in human chromosomes and forum domains contain clusters of several or many genes inside. The largest forum domains correspond to the coordinately expressed main clusters of HOX genes genes. Our results indicate that forum domains correspond to big multi-gene chromosomal units some of which could be co-coordinately activated or repressed. 2 sample examined: forum termini from HEK293T cells in two independent experiments

Project description:In the four years since the publication of the first two 'complete' human chromosome sequences the type of research being done on each has shifted subtly, reflecting the impact of genomic data on biological science in general. There is now considerably more gene-expression evidence to support predicted genes, and the annotation of functions for previously unknown genes, including those implicated in disease, is gradually improving.

Project description:CpG islands are useful markers for genes in organisms containing 5-methylcytosine in their genomes. In addition, CpG islands located in the promoter regions of genes can play important roles in gene silencing during processes such as X-chromosome inactivation, imprinting, and silencing of intragenomic parasites. The generally accepted definition of what constitutes a CpG island was proposed in 1987 by Gardiner-Garden and Frommer [Gardiner-Garden, M. & Frommer, M. (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196, 261-282] as being a 200-bp stretch of DNA with a C+G content of 50% and an observed CpG/expected CpG in excess of 0.6. Any definition of a CpG island is somewhat arbitrary, and this one, which was derived before the sequencing of mammalian genomes, will include many sequences that are not necessarily associated with controlling regions of genes but rather are associated with intragenomic parasites. We have therefore used the complete genomic sequences of human chromosomes 21 and 22 to examine the properties of CpG islands in different sequence classes by using a search algorithm that we have developed. Regions of DNA of greater than 500 bp with a G+C equal to or greater than 55% and observed CpG/expected CpG of 0.65 were more likely to be associated with the 5' regions of genes and this definition excluded most Alu-repetitive elements. We also used genome sequences to show strong CpG suppression in the human genome and slight suppression in Drosophila melanogaster and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This finding is compatible with the recent detection of 5-methylcytosine in Drosophila, and might suggest that S. cerevisiae has, or once had, CpG methylation.

Project description:Human chromosomes 21 and 22 (mainly the q-arms) were the first complete parts of the human genome released. Our analysis of genes, pseudogenes (Psig), and Alu repeats across these chromosomes include the following findings: The number of gene structures containing untranslated exons exceeds 25%; the terminal exon tends to be the largest among exons, whereas, the initial intron tends to be the largest among introns; single-exon gene length is approximately the mean gene exon number times the mean internal exon length; processed Psig lengths are on average approximately the same as single-exon gene length; and the G+C content and length of genes are uncorrelated. The counts and distribution of genes, Psig, and Alu sequences and G+C variation are evaluated with respect to clusters and overdispersions. Other assessments concern comparisons of intergenic lengths, properties of Psig sequences, and correlations between Alu and Psig sequences.

Project description:Stem cell differentiation involves a global increase in protein synthesis to meet the demands of specialized cell types. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this translational burst and the involvement of initiation factors remains largely unknown. Here, we investigate the roles of eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) in early differentiation of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Using Quick-irCLIP and alternative polyadenylation (APA)-Seq, we show eIF3 crosslinks to many neurologically relevant mRNAs in NPCs. Our data reveal eIF3 predominantly interacts with 3’ untranslated region (3’-UTR) termini of multiple mRNA isoforms, adjacent to the poly(A) tail. High eIF3 crosslinking at 3’-UTR termini of mRNAs correlates with high translational activity, as determined by ribosome profiling. We identify the transcriptional regulator inhibitor of DNA binding 2 (ID2) mRNA as a case in which active translation levels and eIF3 crosslinking are dramatically increased upon early NPC differentiation. Furthermore, we find that eIF3 engagement at 3’-UTR ends is dependent on polyadenylation. The results presented here show that eIF3 engages with 3’-UTR termini in highly translated mRNAs, supporting a role of mRNA circularization in the mechanisms governing mRNA translation in NPCs.
