Transcriptome analysis of human and chimpanzee iPS cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: mRNA-seq were conducted for iPS cells of human-1 (409-B2/HPS0076), human-2 (Nips-B2/HPS0223), chimpanzee-1 (kiku/0138F-1), and chimpanzee-2 (mari/0274F-2). To compare gene expression levels, the reads were first mapped to the chimpanzee genome (panTro5), and mapped reads were then mapped to the human genome (hg38). Gene expression was anlyzed based on the hg38 annotation.
Project description:ChIP-seq for H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 were conducted for iPS cells of human-1 (409-B2/HPS0076), human-2 (Nips-B2/HPS0223), chimpanzee-1 (kiku/0138F-1), and chimpanzee-2 (mari/0274F-2). The reads were mapped to the respective genomes (hg38 for human and panTro5 for chimpanzee).
Project description:Small RNA-seq were conducted for iPS cells of human-1 (409-B2/HPS0076), human-2 (Nips-B2/HPS0223), chimpanzee-1 (kiku/0138F-1), and chimpanzee-2 (mari/0274F-2). The human samples were mapped to the human genome (hg38) and the chimpanzee samples were mapped to the chimpanzee genome (panTro5). The mapped reads for individual TE copies (in the repeatmasker tables downloaded from UCSC genome browser) were counted, and those for the same subfamily were summed up. The counts were normalized by RPM (reads per million genome-mapped reads).
Project description:Human accelerated regions (HARs) are evolutionarily conserved sequences that acquired human-specific nucleotide changes and reside in genomic regions associated with unique human traits and disease. The majority of HARs (96%) are noncoding, a few of which have been shown to be functional enhancers. Here, we comprehensively tested human and chimpanzee sequences of HARs (N=714) for enhancer activity using a lentivirus-based massively parallel reporter assay (lentiMPRA) in human and chimpanzee iPSC derived neural progenitors at two differentiation time points. We found that 43% (306/714) function as enhancers and over two-thirds (204/306) showed consistent differences in activity between human and chimpanzee sequences across conditions. We also tested all possible permutations of substitutions in seven HARs and found significant positive and negative interactions. Our study provides a comprehensive resource of functional neurodevelopmental HAR enhancers and shows that multiple interacting sites drive evolutionary activity differences.
Project description:We performed deep strand-specific sequencing of poly-adenylated RNA (polyA+ RNAseq) from human, chimpanzee, macaque and mouse tissues, with the goal of detecting numerous non-annotated poorly expressed and antisense genes. We identified thousands of annotated and novel genes, especially in testis. We discovered that ~2% of the human and chimpanzee multiexonic genes were specific from such species. We generated RNA-Seq data (∼2.10 billion paired-end reads, 25-100 bp length) for the polyadenylated RNA fraction of brain (cerebral cortex), heart, liver and testis. In human and chimpanzee, we generated 2 samples per tissue corresponding to different individuals. In macaque, only 1 sample per tissue was generated. In mouse, considered as the evolutionary outgroup, we generated three pools of brain samples, and one pool of heart, liver and testis samples. We generated an additional sample in Testis without including reverse transcriptase as a control of DNA contamination.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of brain and liver from human and chimpanzee. The Illumina HumanMethylation27 DNA Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,000 CpGs for each sample. Samples included liver and NeuN-positive/NeuN-negative/unsorted brain in three individuals from each of two species (human and chimpanzee).
Project description:Gene expression study of human and Chimpanzee iPS cell. Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array were used to examine differentially expressed genes between human and chimpanzee iPS cells
Project description:We performed paired-end PRO-Seq and/or PRO-Cap on human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) infected with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) for 4 h (strain TB40/E) or 96 h (strain Towne varS). Each sample has matched uninfected controls. Towne experiments were also performed with adapters containing 4 nt of random sequence flanking both sides (8 total bases of randomness) to enable deduplication. Reads were first mapped to the human genome (hg38) (files available on GEO). Unmapped reads were then mapped to HCMV (Genbank FJ616285.1) (track hub available at https://github.com/P-TEFb/trackHub_HCMV).
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of brain and liver from human and chimpanzee. The Illumina HumanMethylation27 DNA Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,000 CpGs for each sample. Samples included liver and NeuN-positive/NeuN-negative/unsorted brain in three individuals from each of two species (human and chimpanzee). Bisulphite converted DNA from the 24 samples were hybridised to the Illumina HumanMethylation27 Beadchip (HumanMethylation27_270596_v.1.2)
