Project description:We report the sequences bound to CENP-A in the dog genome (Canis familiaris) for high-throughput characterization of centromeric sequences. We compare these ChIPSeq reads (72 bp, single read) against a reference centromeric satellite DNA domain database for the dog genome, resulting in the annotation of sequence variation and estimated abundance of seven satellite families together with adjacent, non-satellite sequences. To study global patterns of sequence diversity and characterizing the subset of sequences correlated with centromere function, these sequences were evaluated relative to a comprehensive centromere sequence domain k-mer library. From this analysis, we identify functional sequence features from two satellite families (CarSat1 and CarSat2) that are defined by distinct arrays subtypes.

Project description:The centromere is the chromosomal site for assembly of the kinetochore where spindle fibers attach during cell division. In most muticellular eukaryotes, centromeres are composed of long tracks of satellite repeats that are recalcitrant to sequencing and fine scale genetic mapping. Here we report the genomic and genetic characterization of the complete centromere of rice chromosome 3. Using a DNA fiber-fluorescence in situ hybridization approach, we demonstrated that the centromere of chromosome 3 (Cen3) contains ~414 kb of the centromeric satellite repeat CentO. Cen3 includes a ~1,851-kb domain associated with CENH3, the centromere-specific histone H3 variant. This CENH3-associated chromatin domain is embedded within a 3,083-kb region that lacks genetic recombination. We detected several active genes within the CENH3-binding domain based on a comprehensive annotation and a survey for matches with mRNA signatures. However, the gene density in the CENH3-binding domain is significantly lower than in the pericentromeric domains. In contrast, the CENH3-binding domain contains a higher percentage of repetitive DNA sequences than the pericentromeric regions. These results suggest that Cen3 is in the process of evolving from a genic region toward an accumulation of satellite repeats and transposable elements that is more characteristic of centromeres in most complex eukaryotic species. MPSS was performed to sequence small RNAs that derived from 16 untreated and 6 abiotic-treated diverse tissue libraries. The method for the MPSS sequencing of mRNAs is described in Brenner et al. (Nat Biotechnol. 2000 18:630).

Project description:Centromeric repetitive DNA sequences are highly variable during evolution, which are the hub for genome stability in almost all the eukaryotic organisms. However, how centromeric repeat sequences diverge rapidly among closely related species and populations, and how polyploidy contributed to the diversity of centromere among co-evolved subgenomes are largely unknown. Here, we applied the Brachypodium system to investigate the track of centromere evolution within this taxa, and their adaptation to alloploidization process. Subgenome divergent centromeric satellite repeat were discovered in tetraploid B. hybridum, and this divergent was originated form their two diploid progenitors. Furthermore, differential sequences influence the association sites with CENH3 nucleosomes on the monomer satellite repeats, and positioning of CENH3 nucleosomes on the satellite DNA are stable in each subgenome after alloploidization. Only minor intrasubgenomic variations were observed on these satellite repeats from diploid to tetraploid in B. hybridum, and no evident intersubgenomic transfer of centromeric satellite repeats after alloploidization. Pan-genome analysis reveals that the general principle of centromere dynamic within the populations in Brachypodium genomes with different polyploidy level. Our results provide an unprecedented information regarding the genomic and functional diversity of centromeric repeat DNA during evolution.

Project description:Centromeres, the sites of spindle attachment during mitosis and meiosis, are located in specific positions in the human genome, normally coincident with diverse subsets of alpha satellite DNA. While there is strong evidence supporting the association of some subfamilies of alpha satellite with centromere function, the basis for establishing whether a given alpha satellite sequence is or is not designated a functional centromere is unknown, and attempts to understand the role of particular sequence features in establishing centromere identity have been limited by the near identity and repetitive nature of satellite sequences. Utilizing a broadly applicable experimental approach to test sequence competency for centromere specification, we have carried out a genomic and epigenetic functional analysis of endogenous human centromere sequences available in the current human genome assembly. The data support a model in which functionally competent sequences confer an opportunity for centromere specification, integrating genomic and epigenetic signals and promoting the concept of context-dependent centromere inheritance.

Project description:Specification and propagation of the centromeres of eukaryotic chromosomes is determined by epigenetic mechanisms. Unfortunately, the epigenetic characteristics of centromeric DNA and chromatin are difficult to define because the centromeres are composed of highly repetitive DNA sequences in most eukaryotic species. Several rice centromeres have been fully sequenced, making rice an excellent model for centromere research. We conducted genome-wide mapping of cytosine methylation using methylcytosine immunoprecipitation combined with Illumina sequencing. The DNA sequences in the core domains of rice Cen4, Cen5, and Cen8 showed elevated methylation levels compared to the sequences in the pericentromeric regions. In addition, elevated methylation levels were associated with the DNA sequences in the CENH3-binding subdomains compared to the sequences in the flanking H3 subdomains. In contrast, the centromeric domain of Cen11, which is composed exclusively of centromeric satellite DNA, is hypomethylated compared to the pericentromeric domains. Thus, the DNA sequences associated with functional centromeres can be either hypomethylated or hypermethylated. The methylation patterns of centromeric DNA appear to be correlated with the composition of the associated DNA sequences. We propose that both hypomethylation and hypermethylation of CENH3-associated DNA sequences can serve as epigenetic marks to distinguish where CENH3 deposition will occur within the surrounding H3 chromatin. mCIP-seq of one sample of rice seedling
