Inter-chromosomal contacts demarcate genome topology along a spatial gradient

ABSTRACT: Non-homologous chromosomal contacts (NHCCs) between different chromosomes participate considerably in gene and genome regulation. However, due to analytical challenges, NHCCs are currently considered as singular, stochastic events, and their extent and fundamental principles across cell types and sexes remain controversial. To determine the fundamental properties of NHCCs, we developed a supervised and unsupervised learning algorithm, termed Signature. Signature revealed 40,282 NHCCs and their properties across 62 Hi-C datasets of 53 diploid human cell types. Genomic regions of NHCCs are gene-dense, highly expressed, and harbor genes for cell-specific and sex-specific functions. Extensive inter-telomeric and inter-centromeric clustering occurs across cell types and 61 NHCCs are consistently found at the nuclear speckles. These constitutive ‘anchor loci’ facilitate an axis of genome activity whilst cell-type-specific NHCCs act in discrete hubs. Our results suggest that non-random chromosome positioning is supported by constitutive NHCCs that shape genome topology along an off-centered spatial gradient of genome activity.

A pan-cancer single-cell landscape of tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells

Project description:Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells (TIMs) have emerged as key regulators in tumor progression, however, the similarity and discrepancy of the fundamental properties of these cells across different cancer types remain elusive. Here, we performed a pan-cancer analysis of TIM sub-populations in multiple human cancer types. Our comprehensive analyses provide valuable insights for understanding the TIM properties across multiple tumors.

Quantitative Analysis of Transcription Dynamics in Pluripotent and Differentiated Cells

Project description:Cellular identity is a direct consequence of the transcriptional output for any given cell type. Understanding the regulatory properties of the genes that define each cell type is of fundamental importance. In this study, we performed a detailed characterization of the gene expression profiles in embryonic stem cells (ESC) and three terminally differentiated primary cell types. Using deep chromatin RNA sequencing (~500 million mapped reads), we were able to accurately quantify transcripts for genes expressed at very low levels. This provides us with the ability to distinguish genes that exhibit a broad dynamic range among cell types from those whose dynamic range of expression is more limited.

The contribution of RNA decay quantitative trait loci to inter-individual variation in steady-state gene expression levels

Project description:Analysis of the extent to which inter-individual variation in mRNA decay contributes to inter-individual variation in gene expression levels in humans. The study examines properties of genome-wide decay rates and the relationship between mRNA decay and gene expression across genes, across individuals, and finally across genotype classes. 70 human lymphoblastoid cell lines were treated with Actinomycin D to arrest transcription. Transcript abundance was measured at 5 timepoints: before transcription (0 hours) and after transcription (0.5 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours). Data was then used to estimate gene-specific decay rates genome-wide.

CD4+ cell transcriptional profiling by RNA sequencing

Project description:<p>We use next generation sequencing to investigate the different transcriptomes of closely related CD4+ T-cells from healthy human donors to elucidate the genetic programs that underlie their specialized immune functions. Six cell types were included: Regulatory T-cells (CD25hiCD127low/neg with >95% FOXP3+ purity), regulatory T-cells activated using PMA/ionomycin, CD25-CD45RA+ ('naive' helper T-cells), CD25-CD45RO+ ('memory' helper T-cells), activated Th17 cells (>98% IL17A+ purity) and activated IL17-CD4+ T-cells (called 'ThPI'). Poly-T capture beads were used to isolate mRNA from total RNA, and fragment sizes of ~200 were sequenced from both ends on Illumina's genome analyzer. We confirm many of the canonical signature genes of T-cell populations, but also discover new genes whose expression is limited to specific CD4 T-cell lineages, including long non-coding RNAs. Additionally, we find that genes encoded at loci linked to multiple human autoimmune diseases are enriched for preferential expression upon T-cell activation, suggesting that an aberrant response to T-cell activation is fundamental to pathogenesis.</p>

Branch point evolution controls species-specific alternative splicing and regulates long term potentiation

Project description:Regulation and functionality of species-specific alternative splicing has remained enigmatic for many years. Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIβ (CaMKIIβ) is expressed in several splice variants and plays a key role in learning and memory. Here, we identify and characterize several primate-specific CAMK2B splice isoforms, which show altered kinetic properties and changes in substrate specificity. Furthermore, we demonstrate that primate-specific Camk2β alternative splicing is achieved through branch point weakening during evolution. We show that reducing branch point and splice site strength during evolution globally renders constitutive exons alternative, thus providing a paradigm for cis-directed species-specific alternative splicing regulation. Using CRISPR/Cas9 we introduced the weaker human branch point into the mouse genome, resulting in human-like CAMK2B splicing in the brain of mutant mice. We observe a strong impairment of long-term potentiation in CA3-CA1 synapses of mutant mice, thus connecting branch point-controlled, species-specific alternative splicing with a fundamental function in learning and memory.
