Project description:We performed NGS-based transcript profiling (RNA-seq) to profile transcripts that are expressed in MCF10A cells. 12,332 genes with FPKM>1 were considered as expressed in MCF10A cells. mRNA profiles of MCF10A cells were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Hiseq 2000.

Project description:Summary The phenotypic effect of any genetic variant can be altered by variation at other genomic loci. Known as epistasis, these genetic interactions shape the genotype-phenotype map of every species, yet their origins remain poorly understood. To investigate this, we employed high-throughput genome editing to measure the fitness effects of 1,826 naturally polymorphic variants in four strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. About 31% of variants affect fitness, of which 24% have strain-specific fitness effects indicative of epistasis. We found that beneficial variants are more likely to exhibit genetic interactions and that these interactions can be mediated by specific traits such as flocculation ability. This work suggests that adaptive evolution will often involve trade-offs where a variant is only beneficial in some genetic backgrounds, potentially explaining why many beneficial variants remain polymorphic. In sum, we provide a framework to understand the factors influencing epistasis with single-nucleotide resolution, revealing widespread epistasis among beneficial variants. Graphical abstract Highlights • We measured the fitness effects of 1,826 natural variants in four strains of yeast• Fitness effects of 24% of non-neutral variants are strain dependent (epistatic)• Beneficial variants are more likely to be epistatic than deleterious variants• Epistatic interactions can be mediated by intermediate traits such as flocculation Ang et al. measured the fitness effects of 1,826 naturally occurring genetic variants in four strains of yeast. They found that many of them depend on the genetic background, e.g., are beneficial in one strain but deleterious in another, and that beneficial variants show greater propensity to be strain dependent than deleterious mutations.

Project description:The relative contributions of additive versus non-additive interactions in the regulation of complex traits remains controversial. This may be in part because large-scale epistasis has traditionally been difficult to detect in complex, multi-cellular organisms. We hypothesized that it would be easier to detect interactions using mouse chromosome substitution strains that simultaneously incorporate allelic variation in many genes on a controlled genetic background. Analyzing metabolic traits and gene expression levels in the offspring of a series of crosses between mouse chromosome substitution strains demonstrated that inter-chromosomal epistasis was a dominant feature of these complex traits. Epistasis typically accounted for a larger proportion of the heritable effects than those due solely to additive effects. These epistatic interactions typically resulted in trait values returning to the levels of the parental CSS host strain. Due to the large epistatic effects, analyses that did not account for interactions consistently underestimated the true effect sizes due to allelic variation or failed to detect the loci controlling trait variation. These studies demonstrate that epistatic interactions are a common feature of complex traits and thus identifying these interactions is key to understanding their genetic regulation.

Project description:The IL23/IL17 pathway is pivotal in the development of chronic mucosal inflammation seen in Crohn's disease (CD). Genetic variants in the IL23R and IL12B have been associated with CD susceptibility. We investigated 10 genes within the IL23/IL17 pathway in a case-control study of 763 CD cases and 254 healthy controls.We identified a novel association in haplotypes in IL17A (empirical P = 0.02), IL17RA (P = 0.001), IL17RD (P = 0.001), IL12RB1 (P = 0.003), and IL12RB2 (P = 0.001) as well as confirming the association with IL12B variants (P = 0.003).The cumulative risk for carrying an increased number of CD risk haplotypes from genes in this pathway rises to an odds ratio of 4.3 for carrying 5 risk haplotypes. We have previously demonstrated an association between this cohort and IL23R haplotypes. Pairwise analyses suggest that there is statistical interaction between variants in IL17A and IL23R (P = 0.047) and between variants in IL17RA and IL23R (P = 0.036). Furthermore, a significant association between CD and the widely replicated IL23R variants is only seen in the presence of IL17A or IL17RA variants.These data support the investigation of pathways implicated in CD pathogenesis in order to identify further susceptibility genes and also suggest that important gene-gene interaction is present in CD susceptibility.(Inflamm Bowel Dis 2009).

Project description:We used pH shock to deflagellate Chlamydomonas and collected samples before pH shock (pre), 3, 10, 30, and 60 min post-deflagellation to look at the genes that are upregulated as Chlamydomonas regrows its flagella. We aligned our data to v5.3 of the Chlamydomonas genome and compared transcript levels post-deflagellation to the pre-deflagellation levels. A gene was considered expressed if the FPKMM value was at least 3. If transcript level increased 2.5 fold following deflagellation, we considered the gene to be upregulated. If the transcript levels decreased 2.5 fold following deflagellation, we considered the gene to be downregulated. In all, we found 10,815 genes to be expressed during our experiment. There were 1875 genes upregulated following deflagellation, 4,392 genes downregulated, and 4,548 genes that did not alter their expression

Project description:Polymorphism drives survival under stress and provides adaptability. Genetic polymorphism of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes derives from internal repeat variation of this multicopy gene, and from interindividual variation. A considerable amount of rRNA sequence heterogeneity has been proposed but has been challenging to estimate given the scarcity of accurate reference sequences. We identified four rDNA copies on chromosome 21 (GRCh38) with 99% similarity to recently introduced reference sequence KY962518.1. We customized a GATK bioinformatics pipeline using the four rDNA loci, spanning a total 145 kb, for variant calling and used high-coverage whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from the 1000 Genomes Project to analyze variants in 2504 individuals from 26 populations. We identified a total of 3791 variant positions. The variants positioned nonrandomly on the rRNA gene. Invariant regions included the promoter, early 5' ETS, most of 18S, 5.8S, ITS1, and large areas of the intragenic spacer. A total of 470 variant positions were observed on 28S rRNA. The majority of the 28S rRNA variants were located on highly flexible human-expanded rRNA helical folds ES7L and ES27L, suggesting that these represent positions of diversity and are potentially under continuous evolution. Several variants were validated based on RNA-seq analyses. Population analyses showed remarkable ancestry-linked genetic variance and the presence of both high penetrance and frequent variants in the 5' ETS, ITS2, and 28S regions segregating according to the continental populations. These findings provide a genetic view of rRNA gene array heterogeneity and raise the need to functionally assess how the 28S rRNA variants affect ribosome functions.

Project description:SummaryOncoSimulR implements forward-time genetic simulations of biallelic loci in asexual populations with special focus on cancer progression. Fitness can be defined as an arbitrary function of genetic interactions between multiple genes or modules of genes, including epistasis, restrictions in the order of accumulation of mutations, and order effects. Mutation rates can differ among genes, and can be affected by (anti)mutator genes. Also available are sampling from simulations (including single-cell sampling), plotting the genealogical relationships of clones and generating and plotting fitness landscapes.Availability and implementationImplemented in R and C ++, freely available from BioConductor for Linux, Mac and Windows under the GNU GPL license.
