A single-cell atlas of chromatin accessibility in the human genome

ABSTRACT: Current catalogs of regulatory sequences in the human genome are still incomplete and lack cell type resolution. To profile the activity of gene regulatory elements in diverse cell types and tissues in the human body, we applied single-cell chromatin accessibility assays to 30 adult human tissue types from multiple donors. We integrated these datasets with single-cell chromatin accessibility data from 15 fetal tissue types to reveal the status of open chromatin for approximately 1.2 million candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) in 222 distinct cell types comprised of >1.3 million nuclei. We used these chromatin accessibility maps to delineate cell type-specificity of fetal and adult human cCREs and to systematically interpret the noncoding variants associated with complex human traits and diseases. This rich resource provides a foundation for the analysis of gene regulatory programs in human cell types across tissues, life stages, and organ systems.

A cell atlas of chromatin accessibility across 25 adult human tissues

Project description:Current catalogs of regulatory sequences in the human genome are still incomplete and lack cell type resolution. To profile the activity of human gene regulatory elements in diverse cell types and tissues in the human body, we applied single cell chromatin accessibility assays to 25 distinct human tissue types from multiple donors. The resulting chromatin maps comprising ~500,000 nuclei revealed the status of open chromatin for over 750,000 candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) in 54 distinct cell types. We further delineated cell type-specific and tissue-context dependent gene regulatory programs, and developmental stage specificity by comparing with a recent human fetal chromatin accessibility atlas. We finally used these chromatin maps to interpret the noncoding variants associated with complex human traits and diseases. This rich resource provides a foundation for the analysis of gene regulatory programs in human cell types across tissues and organ systems.

A comparative atlas of single-cell chromatin accessibility in the human brain

Project description:A comparative atlas of single-cell chromatin accessibility in the human brainRecent advances in single-cell transcriptomics have illuminated the diverse neuronal and glial cell types within the human brain. However, the regulatory programs governing cell identity and function remain unclear. Using a single-nucleus assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq), we explored open chromatin landscapes across 1.1 million cells in 42 brain regions from three adults. Integrating this data unveiled 107 distinct cell types and their specific utilization of 544,735 candidate cis-regulatory DNA elements (cCREs) in the human genome. Nearly a third of the cCREs demonstrated conservation and chromatin accessibility in the mouse brain cells. We reveal strong links between specific brain cell types and neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and major depression, and have developed deep learning models to predict the regulatory roles of noncoding risk variants in these disorders.

Single-cell analysis of chromatin accessibility in the adult mouse brain

Project description:Here we report a comprehensive atlas of candidate cis-regulatory DNA elements (cCREs) in the adult mouse brain, generated through examination of the chromatin accessibility in 2.3 million individual brain cells from 117 anatomical dissections. The atlas includes approximately 1 million cCREs and their chromatin accessibility across 1482 distinct brain cell populations, adding over 446,000 new cCREs to the most recent such annotation in the mouse genome. Raw fastq files are demultiplexed. Out of 234 samples, fastq files for 6 samples are available in NCBI under the accession number GSE126724 (CEMBA180308_3B, CEMBA180312_3B, CEMBA180226_1A, CEMBA180227_1A, CEMBA180305_2B, CEMBA180306_2B). Processed data are SnapATAC2 (<= 2.4.0) h5ad files per sample, with raw fragments and 500-bp bmat. NOTE: due to the break changes in SnapATAC2 >= 2.5.0, the data can not be handled rightly in SnapATAC2 >= 2.5.0.

Cell-type-resolved chromatin accessibility in the human intestine identifies complex regulatory programs and clarifies genetic associations in Crohn's disease

Project description:Crohn's disease (CD) is a complex inflammatory bowel disease resulting from an interplay of genetic, microbial, and environmental factors. Cell-type-specific contributions to CD etiology and genetic risk are incompletely understood. Here we built a comprehensive atlas of cell-type-resolved chromatin accessibility comprising 557,310 candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) in terminal ileum and ascending colon from patients with active and inactive CD and healthy controls. Using this atlas, we identified cell-type-, anatomic location-, and context-specific cCREs and characterized the regulatory programs underlying inflammatory responses in the intestinal mucosa of CD patients. Genetic variants that disrupt binding motifs of cell-type-specific transcription factors significantly affected chromatin accessibility in specific mucosal cell types. We found that CD heritability is primarily enriched in immune cell types. However, using fine-mapped non-coding CD variants we identified 29 variants located within cCREs several of which were accessible in epithelial and stromal cells implicating cell types from additional lineages in mediating CD risk in some loci. Our atlas provides a comprehensive resource to study gene regulatory effects in CD and health, and highlights the cellular complexity underlying CD risk.

Mapping the chromatin accessibility landscape of zebrafish embryogenesis at single-cell resolution by SPATAC-seq

Project description:Zebrafish is a popular model for studies of embryonic development. Recent surveys of zebrafish embryogenesis with single-cell transcriptomics have uncovered hundreds of cell types, but the dynamic accessible regions of the genome that determine regulatory programs responsible for the unique identity and function of each cell type during embryogenesis lack detailed study. Here, we present SPATAC-seq: a split-pool ligation-based high-throughput single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing. Using SPATAC-seq, we profiled chromatin accessibility in more than 808,046 individual nuclei across 20 developmental stages spanning the sphere stage to the early larval protruding mouth stages in a single experiment. Using this chromatin accessibility map, we identified 604 cell types and inferred their developmental relationships. We also identified 959,040 candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) and delineate development-specific cCREs, as well as transcription factors defining diverse cell identities. Importantly, transient reporter assays confirmed that a majority of tested cCREs exhibited robust enhanced EGFP expression in restricted cell types or tissues. Finally, we explored gene regulatory programs that drive pigment and notochord cell differentiation. Our work provides a comprehensive and valuable open resource for exploring transcriptional regulators that determine cell fate specification in zebrafish embryogenesis.

Variants in tubule epithelial regulatory elements mediate most heritable differences in human kidney function

Project description:Kidney failure, the decrease of kidney function below a threshold necessary to support life, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in humans. Kidney function is highly heritable; yet, the cellular and molecular mechanisms which contribute to differences in human kidney function remain obscure. We performed a genome wide association study (GWAS), identifying 430 loci affecting kidney function in middle-aged adults. To investigate which cell types are affected by these loci, we integrated the GWAS with human kidney candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs), identified using scATAC-seq. 56% of kidney function heritability localized to kidney tubule epithelial cCREs and an additional 7% to kidney podocyte cCREs. Thus, most of the heritable differences in adult kidney function is due to altered gene expression in these two cell types. Using enhancer assays, allele-specific scATAC-seq and machine learning, we found that many kidney function variants alter cCRE chromatin accessibility and function. Using CRISPRi, we determined which genes some of these cCREs regulate, implicating NDRG1, CCNB1 and STC1 in human kidney function. This work provides an experimental approach to identify the variants, regulatory elements and genes involved in human traits and disease.

An integrative view of the regulatory and transcriptional landscapes in mouse hematopoiesis [histones]

Project description:Thousands of epigenomic datasets have been generated in the past decade, but it is difficult for researchers to effectively utilize all the data relevant to their projects. Systematic integrative analysis can help meet this need, and the VISION project was established for ValIdated Systematic IntegratiON of epigenomic data in hematopoiesis. Here, we systematically integrated extensive data recording epigenetic features and transcriptomes from many sources, including individual laboratories and consortia, to produce a comprehensive view of the regulatory landscape of differentiating hematopoietic cell types in mouse. By employing IDEAS as our Integrative and Discriminative Epigenome Annotation System, we identified and assigned epigenetic states simultaneously along chromosomes and across cell types, precisely and comprehensively. Combining nuclease accessibility and epigenetic states produced a set of over 200,000 candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) that efficiently capture enhancers and promoters. The transitions in epigenetic states of these cCREs across cell types provided insights into mechanisms of regulation, including decreases in numbers of active cCREs during differentiation of most lineages, transitions from poised to active or inactive states, and shifts in nuclease accessibility of CTCF-bound elements. Regression modeling of epigenetic states at cCREs and gene expression produced a versatile resource to improve selection of cCREs potentially regulating target genes. These resources are available from our VISION website (usevision.org) to aid research in genomics and hematopoiesis.
