Hi-C As A New Tool For Precise Detection And Characterization Of Chromosomal Rearrangements And Copy Number Variation In Human Tumors

ABSTRACT: Chromosomal rearrangements are prevalent events in the human population, occurring both constitutionally in the general population and somatically in the majority of cancers. Detection of balanced rearrangements, such as reciprocal translocations and inversions, is troublesome with many rearrangements remaining undetected. This is particularly detrimental in oncology where rearrangements play diagnostic and prognostic roles and can influence choice and efficacy of treatment protocols. New methods to detect and characterize balanced rearrangements are therefore required for both research and clinical applications. Here we describe the use of the chromosome conformation capture derived method Hi-C as a tool for detection of both balanced and unbalanced chromosomal rearrangements in cell lines and human tumor samples, with the ability to detect gene fusions and define chromosomal breakpoints to base pair resolution. In addition, we show that copy number information can also be obtained from the same data, allowing rearrangements, gains, amplifications and deletions of genomic regions to be detected in a single experiment.

Single-cell copy number varation detection

Project description:Detection of genomic rearrangements from a single cell instead of a population of cells is an emerging research technique with important applications in the study of human fertility, constitutional chromosomal disorders, and tumor progression. Here, we develop a method to improve the detection of single-cell genome-wide copy number variation.

Non-allelic homologous recombination between retrotransposable elements is a major driver of de novo unbalanced translocations.

Project description:Large scale analysis of balanced chromosomal translocation breakpoints has shown nonhomologous end joining and microhomology-mediated repair to be the main drivers of interchromosomal structural aberrations. Breakpoint sequences of de novo unbalanced translocations have not yet been investigated systematically. We analyzed 12 de novo translocations and mapped the breakpoints in 9. Surprisingly, in contrast to balanced translocations, we identify non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) between (retro)transposable elements and especially long interspersed elements (LINEs) as the main mutational mechanism. This finding implicates (retro)transposons to be a major driver of genomic rearrangements and exposes a profoundly different mutational mechanism compared to balanced chromosomal translocations. Furthermore, we show the existence of compound maternal/paternal derivative chromosomes, reinforcing the hypothesis that human cleavage stage embryogenesis is a cradle of chromosomal rearrangements.

The position and complex genomic architecture of plant T-DNA insertions revealed by 4C

Project description:The integration of T-DNA to plant genomes is widely used for basic research and agriculture. High heterogeneity in the number of integration events per genome, their configuration and impact on genome integrity highlight both, the critical need and great challenge to detect the genomic locations of T-DNA insertions and their associated chromosomal rearrangements. Here we present ‘4SEE’, a circular chromosome conformation capture (4C) based method for robust, rapid and cost-efficient detection of the entire scope T-DNA locations. Moreover, by measuring the chromosomal architecture at plant genome flanking the T-DNA insertions, 4SEE outlines their associated complex chromosomal aberrations. Applying 4SEE to a collection of confirmed T-DNA lines revealed previously unmapped T-DNA insertions and chromosomal rearrangements such as inversions and translocations. Uncovering such events in feasible, robust and cost-effective manners by 4SEE in any plant of interest have implications for accurate annotation and phenotypic characterization of T-DNA insertion mutants and transgene expression in basic science applications as well as for plant biotechnology.

Ten percent of aberrant cells is sufficient for detection of DNA copy number alterations (part 1)

Project description:Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) is a widely used technique to assess chromosomal copy number alterations. Chromosomal content, however, is often not uniform throughout cell populations. The aim of our present study is to evaluate to what extent aCGH can detect DNA copy number alterations in a heterogeneous cell population. Reported detection limits are a compound of analytical software and laboratory technique whilst systematic evaluation is lacking, despite the importance in diagnostics and research. Detection limits were explored with DNA isolated from a patient with intellectual disability (ID) and from tumor cell line BT474. Both were diluted with increasing amounts of normal DNA to simulate different levels of cellularity. Samples were hybridized on CGH arrays containing 180880 oligonucleotides evenly distributed over the genome (space ~17kb). The ID sample has a single copy number gain of 4Mb and a single copy number loss of 7.5Mb that could both be detected with 10% mosaicism. The tumor cell line BT474 has a dual copy number gain (6 copies in a background of 4 copies) of 46Mb. This corresponds to a single copy number gain in a diploid sample and could be detected with 15% tumor cells. The diagnostic validity of these findings was verified using two clinical mosaic samples with alterations in 20% (40Mb) and 14% (34Mb) of cells. Both alterations could be accurately detected using t-statistics. In conclusion, single copy number gains and losses, down to 4Mb in as little as 10% of a cell population, can be detected by aCGH.
