Project description:RNA-seq was performed on samples of frozen tissue (liver, adipose, skeletal muscle, heart, and pancreatic islets) from the eight founder stains for the Diversity Outbred mice. The mice were fed a high-fat, high-sugar diet to sensitize them to the development of diabetes.

Project description:We have studied the impact of T2D on open chromatin in human pancreatic islets. We used assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) to profile open chromatin in islets from T2D and non-diabetic donors. We identified ATAC-seq peaks representing open chromatin regions in islets of non-diabetic and diabetic donors. The majority of ATAC-seq peaks mapped near transcription start sites. Additionally, peaks were enriched in enhancer regions and in regions where islet-specific TFs bind. Islet ATAC-seq peaks overlap with SNPs associated with T2D and with additional SNPs in LD with known T2D SNPs. There was enrichment of open chromatin regions near highly expressed genes in human islets.
