Comparative landscape of genetic dependencies in human and chimpanzee stem cells

ABSTRACT: Comparative studies of great apes provide a window into our evolutionary past, but the extent and identity of cellular differences that emerged during hominin evolution remain largely unexplored. We established a comparative loss-of-function approach to evaluate whether changes in human cells alter requirements for essential genes. By performing genome-wide CRISPR interference screens in human and chimpanzee pluripotent stem cells, we identified 75 genes with species-specific effects on cellular proliferation. These genes comprised coherent processes, including cell cycle progression and lysosomal signaling, which we determined to be human-derived by comparison with orangutan cells. Human-specific robustness to CDK2 and CCNE1 depletion persisted in neural progenitor cells and cerebral organoids, supporting the G1-phase length hypothesis as a potential evolutionary mechanism in human brain expansion.

INTER_specific hybs: A Burst of Segmental Duplications in the African Great Ape Ancestor

Project description:Wilson and King were among the first to recognize that the extent of phenotypic change between humans and great apes was dissonant with the rate of molecular change. Proteins are virtually identical; cytogenetically there are few rearrangements that distinguish ape-human chromosomes; rates of single-basepair change and retroposon activity have slowed particularly within hominid lineages when compared to rodents or monkeys. Here, we perform a systematic analysis of duplication content of four primate genomes (macaque, orangutan, chimpanzee and human) in an effort to understand the pattern and rates of genomic duplication during hominid evolution. We find that the ancestral branch leading to human and African great apes shows the most significant increase in duplication activity both in terms of basepairs and in terms of events. This duplication acceleration within the ancestral species is significant when compared to lineage-specific rate estimates even after accounting for copy-number polymorphism and homoplasy. We discover striking examples of recurrent and independent gene-containing duplications within the gorilla and chimpanzee that are absent in the human lineage. Our results suggest that the evolutionary properties of copy-number mutation differ significantly from other forms of genetic mutation and, in contrast to the hominid slowdown of single basepair mutations, there has been a genomic burst of duplication activity at this period during human evolution. A total of 3 chimpanzees, 2 bonobos, 3 gorillas, 1 orangutan and 1 macaque were hybridized against human (NA15510). Other hybridizations (other humans, and non-humans) were also used as a replicate.

Young transposable elements rewired gene regulatory networks in human and chimpanzee hippocampal intermediate progenitors

Project description:The hippocampus is associated with essential brain functions such as learning and memory. Human hippocampal volume is significantly greater than expected when compared to non-human apes, suggesting a recent expansion. Intermediate progenitors, which are able undergo multiple rounds of proliferative division before a final neurogenic division, may have played a role in the evolutionary hippocampal expansion. To investigate the evolution of gene regulatory networks underpinning hippocampal neurogenesis in apes, we leveraged the differentiation of human and chimpanzee induced Pluripotent Stem Cells into TBR2-positive hippocampal intermediate progenitors (hpIPCs). We find that the gene networks active in hpIPCs are significantly different between humans and chimpanzees, with ~2,500 genes differentially expressed. We demonstrate that species-specific transposon-derived enhancers contribute to these transcriptomic differences. Young transposons, predominantly Endogenous Retroviruses (ERV) and SINE-Vntr-Alus (SVA), were co-opted as enhancers in a species-specific manner. Human-specific SVAs provided substrates for thousands of novel TBR2 binding sites, and CRISPR-mediated repression of these SVAs attenuates the expression of ~25% of the genes that are upregulated in human intermediate progenitors relative to the same cell population in the chimpanzee

Great Ape Copy Number Variation

Project description:Intra-specific polymorphism in copy number is documented in many organisms, including human and chimpanzee, but very little is known for other great apes. This study aims to provide CNVs data for orangutan, gorilla, bonobo and chimpanzee, and compare the CNV patterns among these species, as well as with human CNVs and segmental duplications from public databases. Each sample is hybridized against a common reference of the same species for two dye combinations (e.g. chimp1_CY5 vs chimpREF_Cy3; chimp1_CY3 vs chimpREF_Cy5; bonobo1_CY5 vs bonoboREF_Cy3; bonobo1_CY3 vs bonoboREF_Cy5;)

Human embryonic stem cell, chimpanzee induced pluripotent stem cell, orangutan induced pluripotent stem cell, rhesus embryonic stem cell, and their derived cortical organoid RNA-seq

Project description:We compared a 5 week time course of cortical organoid differentiation across human, chimpanzee, orangutan, and rhesus using bulk RNAseq. In addition, single cell RNAseq was performed on a subset of time points from human cells in weeks 0, 1, 2, and 5.

Massively parallel dissection of human accelerated regions in human and chimpanzee neural progenitors [chimpanzee]

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.

Methylation profiling of the chimpanzee CNTNAP2 gene in brain using high-resolution tiling arrays.

Project description:Accelerated brain development is a unique feature of the human species. Not only the size but also morphology, in particular the connections between frontal cortex and basal ganglia distinguish the human brain from great apes and other primates. Recent findings suggest that structural features which may be important for language acquisition are influenced by FOXP2, key regulator of CNTNAP2. CNTNAP2 is one of the largest genes in the chimpanzee genome, encompassing 2.5 Mb. It encodes a neurexin with essential roles in the vertebrate nervous system. The aim of our study was to compare the methylation patterns of CNTNAP2 in human and chimpanzee brains, assuming that epigenetic regulation is essential for brain development and human language abilities. To this end, we designed a NimbleGen tiling array covering the entire chimpanzee CNTNAP2 gene plus 0.1 Mb up- and downstream flanking sequence with an average resolution of 13 bp. Methylated DNA ImmunoPreciptation (MeDIP) was used to enrich cytosine-methylated DNA fragments for downstream analysis with high-resolution tiling arrays.
