Extensive Evolutionary Changes in Regulatory Element Activity during Human Origins Are Associated with Altered Gene Expression and Positive Selection [DGE-seq]

Project description:The human genome shares a remarkable amount of genomic sequence with our closest living primate relatives. Researchers have long sought to understand what regions of the genome are responsible for unique species-specific traits. Previous studies have shown that many genes are differentially expressed between species, but the regulatory elements contributing to these differences are largely unknown. Here we report a genome-wide comparison of active gene regulatory elements in human, chimpanzee, and macaque, and we identify hundreds of regulatory elements that have been gained or lost in the human or chimpanzee genomes since their evolutionary divergence. These elements contain evidence of natural selection and correlate with species-specific changes in gene expression. Polymorphic DNA bases in transcription factor motifs that we found in these regulatory elements may be responsible for the varied biological functions across species. This study directly links phenotypic and transcriptional differences between species with changes in chromatin structure. DGE-seq

Extensive evolutionary changes in regulatory element activity during human origins are associated with altered gene expression and positive selection.

Project description:Understanding the molecular basis for phenotypic differences between humans and other primates remains an outstanding challenge. Mutations in non-coding regulatory DNA that alter gene expression have been hypothesized as a key driver of these phenotypic differences. This has been supported by differential gene expression analyses in general, but not by the identification of specific regulatory elements responsible for changes in transcription and phenotype. To identify the genetic source of regulatory differences, we mapped DNaseI hypersensitive (DHS) sites, which mark all types of active gene regulatory elements, genome-wide in the same cell type isolated from human, chimpanzee, and macaque. Most DHS sites were conserved among all three species, as expected based on their central role in regulating transcription. However, we found evidence that several hundred DHS sites were gained or lost on the lineages leading to modern human and chimpanzee. Species-specific DHS site gains are enriched near differentially expressed genes, are positively correlated with increased transcription, show evidence of branch-specific positive selection, and overlap with active chromatin marks. Species-specific sequence differences in transcription factor motifs found within these DHS sites are linked with species-specific changes in chromatin accessibility. Together, these indicate that the regulatory elements identified here are genetic contributors to transcriptional and phenotypic differences among primate species.

Digital gene expression (DGE) of alkali-stressed cucumber leaves

Project description:Here we performed a transcriptomic study on the effect of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on cucumber leaves under alkali stress using Solexa/Illumina's high-throughput digital gene expression (DGE) system. Two DGE libraries (from one NaHCO3-treated sample and one NaHCO3 + SNP-treated sample) were constructed, and the gene expression variations between the two samples were compared. Hundreds of differentially expressed genes were obtained by the comparison, and GO analysis of these genes suggested that many biological processes, molecular function, cellular components were related to SNP’s mitigated effect on alkaline stress. The authenticity of the DGE data was further confirmed by analyzing real-time RT-PCR using several random-selected genes.

Digital gene expression (DGE) of PaWB phytoplasma-infected Paulownia witches

Project description:Here we performed a transcriptomic study on PaWB phytoplasma-infected Paulownia sp. using Solexa/Illumina’s high-throughput digital gene expression (DGE) system. 4 DGE libraries (from 2 virus-infected samples and 2 healthy samples) were constructed, and the gene expression variations between the PaWB phytoplasma-infected (diseased) sample and the corresponding healthy sample were compared. Thousands of differentially expressed genes were obtained by the comparison, and KEGG pathway analysis of these genes suggested that many biological processes were responded to PaWB infection.
