Project description:Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) is an allogamous coniferous species that relies on wind-mediated pollen and seed dispersal, and it is one of the most important forestry tree species in Japan. For accelerating breeding, we collected massive SNPs based on ESTs from several organs using NGS, and thus carried out QTL, GWAS and GS based on high-density linkage maps.

Project description:BCR-ABL1 lymphoblastic leukaemia is characterized by the deletion of Ikaros. The Philadelphia chromosome, encoding BCR-ABL1, is the defining lesion of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and a subset of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cases. To define oncogenic lesions that cooperate with BCR-ABL1 to induce ALL, we performed genome-wide analysis of leukemic samples from 23 CML cases and 304 ALL cases, including 43 BCR-ABL1 B-ALL cases. IKZF1 (encoding the transcription factor Ikaros) was deleted in 83.7% of BCR-ABL1 B-ALL cases, but not in chronic phase CML. Deletion of IKZF1 was also identified as an acquired lesion in lymphoid blast crisis of CML. The IKZF1 deletions resulted in haploinsufficiency, expression of a dominant negative Ikaros isoform or the complete loss of Ikaros expression. Sequencing of IKZF1 deletion breakpoints suggested that aberrant V(D)J recombination is responsible for the deletions. These findings suggest that genetic lesions resulting in the loss of Ikaros function are a key event in the development of BCR-ABL1 ALL. *** Due to privacy concerns, the primary SNP array data is no longer available with unrestricted access.

Project description:The conservation and development of chicken has considerably affected human activities, but the admixture history of chicken breeds has so far been poorly demonstrated especially for Chinese indigenous breeds. Using genotypes from 580961 single nucleotide polymorphism markers scored in 1201 animals, we evaluate the genetic diversity (heterozygosity and proportion of polymorphic markers), Linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay, population structure (principal component analysis and neighbor-joining tree), genetic differentiation (FST and genetic distance) and migration events (Treemix and f-statistics) of eight domesticated chicken breeds. All population analytical methods reveal patterns of hybridization which occurred after divergence in Tibetan chicken. We argue that chicken migration and admixture followed by trade have been important forces in shaping modern Chinese chicken genomic variation. Moreover, isolation by distance may play critical role in the shaping genomic variation within Eurasia continent chicken breeds.
Project description:Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from fresh frozen tissues. To obtain a profile of copy number alterations in RMS, we studied 65 samples in 60 RMS cases. Other data of 38 samples are deposited in GSE41263: GSM1528059 GSM1528057 GSM1528061 GSM1528058 GSM1528054 GSM1528060 GSM1012723 GSM1012722 GSM1012746 GSM1528055 GSM1528056 GSM1530028 GSM1012751 GSM1012724 GSM1012726 GSM1012747 GSM1012725 GSM1012716 GSM1012735 GSM1012713 GSM1012736 GSM1012737 GSM1012738 GSM1012730 GSM1012739 GSM1012740 GSM1012750 GSM1012717 GSM1012718 GSM1012719 GSM1012741 GSM1012732 GSM1012715 GSM1012720 GSM1012742 GSM1012721 GSM1012743 GSM1012744
