Bru-seq nascent RNA sequencing of human and mouse cells: correlation to replication timing and genome instability

ABSTRACT: Bru-seq nascent RNA sequencing (PubMed ID 23973811) was performed on two primary human fibroblast cell lines, mouse embryonic stem cells, and GM12878 human lymphoblastoid cells. Read data, which include both exon and intron signals, were used to identify transcription unit spans genome-wide, where a transcription unit is roughly correspondent to the longest expressed isoform of a gene. However, because algorithms were not constrained by annotated genes, transcription units need not and often do not correspond precisely to gene boundaries and include extragenic transcription. Transcription units were then compared to separate data sets that comprised induced copy number variants, common fragile sites, and Repli-seq replication timing. The objective was to discover the relationships between transcription unit span and size, local genomic instability, and replication timing. This GEO sample series provides the span and intensity of transcription units called genome-wide in the various samples. Correlations to genome stability and replication timing are provided in the associated manuscript. In addition, one human fibroblast line and the mouse embryonic stem cells had paired samples treated and untreated with low dose aphidicolin. Gene RPKM signal intensities are provided for these samples, although comparing these was not the principal objective of the study.

Project description:Extensive changes in replication timing occur during early mouse development, but their biological significance remains uncertain. To identify evolutionarily conserved features of replication timing and their relationships to epigenetic properties in humans, we profiled replication timing genome-wide in four human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines, hESC-derived neural precursor cells (NPCs), lymphoblastoid cells, and two independently derived human induced pluripotent stem cell lines (hiPSCs). Results confirm the conservation of coordinately replicated megabase-sized units of chromosomes (replication domains) with stable cell type specific molecular boundaries that consolidate into larger replication domains during differentiation. Replication timing changes encompassed units of 400-800 kb and were coordinated with changes in transcription similar to mouse. Moreover, significant cell-type specific conservation of replication timing profiles was observed across regions of conserved synteny, despite significant species variation in the alignment of replication timing to isochore GC/LINE-1 content. Replication profiling also revealed a closer genome-wide epigenetic alignment of hESCs to mouse epiblast-derived stem cells (mEpiSCs) than to mouse ESCs. Finally, we identify a signature of chromatin modifications marking the boundaries of early replicating domains and a remarkably strong link between spatial proximity of chromatin as measured by Hi-C analysis and replication timing. Together, our results reveal evolutionarily conserved elements of the replication program in mammalian early development, demonstrate the power of replication profiling to identify important epigenetic distinctions between closely related stem cell populations (e.g. ESCs vs. EpiSCs), and strengthen the hypothesis that replication domains are structural and functional units of 3D chromosomal architecture. 8 cell types, with a total of 13 individual replicates (i.e. 5 in duplicates, 3 in single replicates)
