Epigenome analysis of brain between human and chimpanzee

ABSTRACT: 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: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)

A Genome-wide Study of DNA Methylation Patterns and Gene Expression Levels in Multiple Human and Chimpanzee Tissues

Project description:It has long been hypothesized that changes in gene regulation have played an important role in primate evolution. However, despite the wealth of comparative gene expression data, there are still only few studies that focus on the mechanisms underlying inter-primate differences in gene regulation. In particular, we know relatively little about the degree to which changes in epigenetic profiles might explain differences in gene expression levels between primates. To this end, we studied DNA methylation and gene expression levels in livers, hearts, and kidneys from multiple humans and chimpanzees. Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of heart, kidney, and liver samples from humans and chimpanzees. The Illumina Infinium 27K Human DNA Methylation BeadChip v1.2 was used to compare DNA methylation profiles across approximately 10,575 CpG sites in human and chimpanzee tissue samples. Samples included 6 human livers, 6 human kidneys, 6 human heart, 6 chimpanzee livers, 6 chimpanzee kidneys, and 6 chimpanzee hearts. Two techical replicates of bisulfite converted DNA from each of the 36 samples was hybridized to the Illumina HumanMethylation27 Beadchip. We limited our analysis to the 10,575 probes that were a perfect sequence match to both the human and chimpanzee genomes and which were associated with genes for which we had previously collected expression measurements across the three tissues.

Analysis of human, chimpanzee, macaque and mouse tissue transcriptomes using Next Generation Sequencing

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.

Evolutionary Significance of DNA Methylation in Human and Chimpanzee Brains

Project description:We compared the genome-wide patterns of DNA methylation in the brains of humans to those of our closest evolutionary relative, chimpanzees, using base-pair resolution whole-genome methylation maps of the prefrontal cortex. Our data reveal that the prefrontal cortex is the most heavily methylated among the human tissues examined so far. Nevertheless, hundreds of genes exhibit dramatically reduced levels of promoter DNA methylation in the human brain relative to the chimpanzee brain. Many of these genes are associated with neurological disorders, psychological disorders, and cancers, and are enriched for functions related to cellular metabolic processes and protein binding. Moreover, the majority of these genes exhibit higher expression in the human brain compared to the chimpanzee brain.

Epigenome analysis of HCC samples with paired adjacent tissue

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of paired adjacent and hepatocellular samples and 8 non-diseased liver samples. The Illumina Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,000 CpGs. Samples included 12 paired adjacent and 12 hepatocellular samples.

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.
