Project description:Gene regulation in mammals involves a complex interplay between promoter and distal regulatory elements that function in concert to drive precise spatio-temporal gene expression programs. However, the dynamics of distal gene regulatory elements and its function in transcriptional reprogramming that underlies neurogenesis and neuronal activity remain largely unknown. Here we use a combinatorial analysis of genomewide datasets for chromatin accessibility (FAIRE-Seq) and enhancer mark H3K27ac to reveal a highly dynamic nature of chromatin accessibility during neurogenesis that gets restricted to certain genomic regions as neurons acquire a post-mitotic, terminally differentiated state. We further reveal that the distal open regions serve as target sites of distinct transcription factors that function in a stage-specific manner to contribute to the transcriptional program underlying neuronal commitment and maturation. A prolonged NMDA-driven neural activity results in epigenetic reprogramming at a large number of distal regulatory elements as well as dramatic reorganization of super-enhancers that in turn mediate critical transcriptional responses. Taken together, these findings reveal dynamics of distal regulatory landscape during neurogenesis and uncover novel regulatory elements that function in concert with epigenetic mechanisms and transcription factors to generate transcriptome underlying neuronal development and function. FAIRE-Seq and H3K27ac profiles for three stages on neuronal differentation viz. neuronal progenitors, day 1 neurons and day 10 neurons, were generated to understand the dynamics of accessible and ehancer chromatin landscape. Along with this we also generated RNASeq and H3K27ac profiles for day 10 neurons upon control and NMDA treatment.

Project description:Here we derive human and chimpanzee cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) and profile histone modifications, transcription factors, chromatin accessibility and gene expression to systematically and quantitatively annotate evolutionary divergence of craniofacial cis-regulatory landscapes. Histone modifications (H3K27ac, H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K27me3), chromatin modifiers (p300), transcription factors (NR2F1, TFAP2A), chromatin accessibility (ATACseq) and gene expression (RNAseq) were assayed in CNCCs derived from iPSCs/ESCs from 2 chimpanzee and 3 human individuals.

Project description:The generation of distinctive cell types that form different tissues and organs requires precise, temporal and spatial control of gene expression. This depends on specific cis-regulatory elements distributed in the non-coding DNA surrounding their target genes. Studies performed on mammalian embryonic stem cells and Drosophila embryos suggest that active enhancers form part of a defined chromatin landscape marked by histone H3 lysine 4 mono-methylation (H3K4me1) and histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac). Nevertheless, little is known about the dynamics and the potential roles of these marks during vertebrate embryogenesis. Here we provide genomic maps of H3K4me1/me3 and H3K27ac at four developmental time-points of zebrafish embryogenesis and analyze embryonic enhancer activity. We find that: (i) changes in H3K27ac enrichment at enhancers accompany the shift from pluripotency to tissue-specific gene expression; (ii) in early embryos, the peaks of H3K27ac enrichment are bound by pluripotent factors such as Nanog; (iii) the degree of evolutionary conservation is higher for enhancers that become marked by H3K27ac at the end of gastrulation suggesting their implication in the establishment of the most conserved (phylotypic) transcriptome that is known to occur later at the pharyngula stage.

Project description:The human cerebral cortex contains many cell types that likely underwent independent functional changes during evolution. However, cell-type–specific regulatory landscapes in the cortex re- main largely unexplored. Here we report epigenomic and tran- scriptomic analyses of the two main cortical neuronal subtypes, glutamatergic projection neurons and GABAergic interneurons, in human, chimpanzee, and rhesus macaque. Using genome- wide profiling of the H3K27ac histone modification, we identify neuron-subtype–specific regulatory elements that previously went undetected in bulk brain tissue samples. Human-specific regula- tory changes are uncovered in multiple genes, including those as- sociated with language, autism spectrum disorder, and drug addiction. We observe preferential evolutionary divergence in neuron subtype-specific regulatory elements and show that a sub- stantial fraction of pan-neuronal regulatory elements undergos subtype-specific evolutionary changes. This study sheds light on the interplay between regulatory evolution and cell- type–dependent gene-expression programs, and provides a re- source for further exploration of human brain evolution and function.

Project description:A major challenge in biology is to determine how evolutionarily novel characters originate, however, mechanistic explanations for the origin of novelties are almost completely unknown. The evolution of mammalianM-BM- pregnancy is an excellent system in which to study the origin of novelties because extant mammals preserve major stages in the transition from egg-laying to live-birth. To determine the molecular bases of this transition we characterized the pregnant/gravid uterine transcriptome from tetrapods, including species in the three major mammalian lineages, and used ancestral transcriptome reconstruction to trace the evolutionary history of uterine gene expression. We show that thousands of genes evolved endometrial expression during the origins of mammalian pregnancy, including numerous genes that mediate maternal-fetal communication and immunotolerance.Furthermore we show that thousands of regulatory elements active inM-BM- decidualized human endometrial stromal cellsM-BM- are derived from ancient mammalian transposable elements which provided binding sites for transcription factors that mediate decidualization and endometrial cell-type identity.M-BM- Our results indicate that one of the defining mammalian novelties evolved via domestication of ancient mammalian transposable elements into hormone-responsive regulatory elements throughout the genome.

Project description:Evolutionary alterations to cis-regulatory sequences are likely to cause adaptive phenotypic complexity, through orchestrating changes in cellular proliferation, identity and communication. For non-model organisms with adaptive key-innovations, patterns of regulatory evolution have been predominantly limited to targeted sequence-based analyses. Chromatin-immunoprecipitation with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) is a technology that has only been used in genetic model systems and is a powerful experimental tool to screen for active cis-regulatory elements. Here, we show that it can also be used in ecological model systems and permits genome-wide functional exploration of cis-regulatory elements. As a proof of concept, we use ChIP-seq technology in adult fin tissue of the cichlid fish Oreochromis niloticus to map active promoter elements, as indicated by occupancy of trimethylated Histone H3 Lysine 4 (H3K4me3). The fact that cichlids are one of the most phenotypically diverse and species-rich families of vertebrates could make them a perfect model system for the further in-depth analysis of the evolution of transcriptional regulation. examination of H3K4me3 in adult fin tissue of the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
