Project description:The origin and early dispersal of speakers of Transeurasian languages-that is, Japanese, Korean, Tungusic, Mongolic and Turkic-is among the most disputed issues of Eurasian population history1-3. A key problem is the relationship between linguistic dispersals, agricultural expansions and population movements4,5. Here we address this question by 'triangulating' genetics, archaeology and linguistics in a unified perspective. We report wide-ranging datasets from these disciplines, including a comprehensive Transeurasian agropastoral and basic vocabulary; an archaeological database of 255 Neolithic-Bronze Age sites from Northeast Asia; and a collection of ancient genomes from Korea, the Ryukyu islands and early cereal farmers in Japan, complementing previously published genomes from East Asia. Challenging the traditional 'pastoralist hypothesis'6-8, we show that the common ancestry and primary dispersals of Transeurasian languages can be traced back to the first farmers moving across Northeast Asia from the Early Neolithic onwards, but that this shared heritage has been masked by extensive cultural interaction since the Bronze Age. As well as marking considerable progress in the three individual disciplines, by combining their converging evidence we show that the early spread of Transeurasian speakers was driven by agriculture.

Project description:More than 200 asthma-associated genetic variants have been identified in genome-wide association studies (GWASs). Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data resources can help identify causal genes of the GWAS signals, but it can be difficult to find an eQTL that reflects the disease state because most eQTL data are obtained from normal healthy subjects. We performed a blood eQTL analysis using transcriptomic and genotypic data from 436 Korean asthma patients. To identify asthma-related genes, we carried out colocalization and Summary-based Mendelian Randomization (SMR) analysis using the results of asthma GWASs and eQTL data. In addition, we compared the results of disease eQTL data and asthma-related genes with two normal blood eQTL data from Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project and a Japanese study. We identified 342,054 cis-eQTL and 2,931 eGenes from asthmatic eQTL analysis. We compared the disease eQTL results with GTEx and a Japanese study and found that 63.2 % of the 2,931 eGenes overlapped with the GTEx eGenes and 38.5 % with the Japanese eGenes. Following the integrated analysis of the asthmatic eQTL data with asthma GWASs, using colocalization and SMR methods, we identified 13 asthma-related genes specific to the Korean asthmatic eQTL data. We provided Korean asthmatic cis-eQTL data and identified asthma-related genes by integrating them with GWAS data. In addition, we suggested these asthma-related genes as therapeutic targets for asthma. We envisage that our findings will contribute to understanding the etiological mechanisms of asthma and provide novel therapeutic targets.

Project description:The Yeonsan Ogye (Ogye) is the rare black chicken breed domesticated in Korean peninsula, which has been noted for entire black color upon its appearances including feather, skin, comb, eyes, shank, claws and internal organs. In this study, whole genome, transcriptome and epigenome sequencings of Ogye were performed using high-throughput NGS sequencing platforms. We have produced Illumina short-reads (Paired-End, Mate-Pair and FOSMID) and PacBio long-reads for whole genome sequencing (WGS), 1.4 billion reads for RNA-seq, and 123 million reads for RRBS (reduced representation bisulfite sequencing) data. Using WGS data, Ogye genome has been assembled, and coding/non-coding transcriptome maps were constructed on Ogye genome given largescale sequencing data. We have predicted 17,472 (3,550 newly annotated and 13,922 known) protein-coding transcripts, and 9,443 (6,689 novel and 2,754 known) long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs).

Project description:Asian salamander Hynobiidae is commonly observed in the Far East Asia regions, including Korea, Japan, China, and the eastern region of Russia. In Korea, there are four Hynobiidae species known to be lived: Hynobius leechii, Hynobius quelpaertensis, Hynobius yangi, and recently reported Hynobius unisacculus. However, even H. leechii which is broadly colonized in Korea peninsula seems to have a new species candidate, which has distinctive genetic and phenotypic characteristics. Genomic resources are essential to understand the current status of these species, but due to the large size of their genomes (about 16 to 20 Gb), it is not easy to analyze. To reveal the genomic characteristics of these species, we constructed more than ten thousands of protein-coding gene sequences from multiple samples of each species, using the de novo transcriptome assembly approach from RNA-Seq data, confirming their taxonomic relationship which was reported based on mitochondrial DNA and marker genes. Also, by comparing previously reported transcriptome of Hynobius chinensis and Hynobius retardatus, lived in China and Japan, respectively, we found that Korean species have unique genetic signatures. By comparing vertebrate model organism genes, we reported Hynobidaii specific proteins. These data would be a useful resource to study other Caudata species in the future. This research was supported by the National Institute of Biological Resources, Republic of Korea, under the project "Genetic diversity of animal resources” (NIBR201703203 and NIBR201803101).

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) cause Polycomb Repressive Complexes (PRCs) to spread over broad regions of the mammalian genome. We report that in mouse trophoblast stem cells, the Kcnq1ot1 and Airn lncRNAs induce PRC-dependent chromatin modifications over multi-megabase domains. Throughout the Airn-targeted domain, extent of PRC-dependent modification correlated with intra-nuclear distance to the Airn locus, pre-existing genome architecture, and the abundance of Airn itself. Specific CpG islands displayed characteristics indicating that they nucleate the spread of PRCs upon exposure to Airn. Chromatin environments surrounding Xist, Airn, and Kcnq1ot1 suggest common mechanisms of PRC engagement and spreading. Our data indicate that lncRNA potency can be tightly linked to lncRNA abundance, and that within lncRNA-targeted domains, PRCs are recruited to CpG islands via lncRNA-independent mechanisms. We propose that CpG islands that autonomously recruit PRCs interact with lncRNAs and their associated proteins through 3-dimensional space to nucleate the spread of PRCs in lncRNA-targeted domains.
