Project description:Macaque species share over 93% genome homology with humans and develop many disease phenotypes similar to those of humans, making them valuable animal models for the study of human diseases (e.g.,HIV and neurodegenerative diseases). However, the quality of genome assembly and annotation for several macaque species lags behind the human genome effort. To close this gap and enhance functional genomics approaches, we employed a combination of de novo linked-read assembly and scaffolding using proximity ligation assay (HiC) to assemble the pig-tailed macaque (Macaca nemestrina) genome. This combinatorial method yielded large scaffolds at chromosome-level with a scaffold N50 of 127.5 Mb; the 23 largest scaffolds covered 90% of the entire genome. This assembly revealed large-scale rearrangements between pig-tailed macaque chromosomes 7, 12, and 13 and human chromosomes 2, 14, and 15. We subsequently annotated the genome using transcriptome and proteomics data from personalized induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from the same animal. Reconstruction of the evolutionary tree using whole genome annotation and orthologous comparisons among three macaque species, human and mouse genomes revealed extensive homology between human and pig-tailed macaques with regards to both pluripotent stem cell genes and innate immune gene pathways. Our results confirm that rhesus and cynomolgus macaques exhibit a closer evolutionary distance to each other than either species exhibits to humans or pig-tailed macaques. These findings demonstrate that pig-tailed macaques can serve as an excellent animal model for the study of many human diseases particularly with regards to pluripotency and innate immune pathways.

Project description:While genome sequencing has identified numerous non-coding alterations between primate species, which of these are regulatory and potentially relevant to the evolution of the human brain is unclear. Here, we annotate cis-regulatory elements (CREs) in the human, rhesus macaque and chimpanzee genome using ChIP-sequencing in different anatomical parts of the adult brain. We find high similarity in the genomic positioning of CREs between rhesus macaque and humans, suggesting that the majority of these elements were already present in a common ancestor 25 million years ago. Most of the observed regulatory changes between humans and rhesus macaque occurred prior to the ancestral separation of humans and chimpanzee, leaving a modest set of regulatory elements with predicted human-specificity. Our data refine previous predictions and hypotheses on the consequences of genomic changes between primate species, and allow the identification of regulatory alterations relevant to the evolution of the brain. ChIP-Sequencing for H3K27ac on 8 distinct brain regions from human (three biological replicates per brain region), chimpanzee (two biological replicates per brain region) and rhesus macaque (three biological replicates per brain region).

Project description:The primary goal of this study was to compare the performances of Rhesus Macaque Genome Array and Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array with respect to the detection of differential expressions when rhesus macaque RNA extracts were labeled and hybridized. The secondary goal of this study was to investigate the effect of mismatch position on signal strength in Affymetrix GeneChips by examining naturally occurring mismatches between rhesus macaque transcripts and human probes from Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array.

Project description:Aging of population is a great challenge of healthcare. In china, the number of the elderly is rapidly growing, and it was estimated that there will be approximately 400 million citizens above 65 years old in 2050.Study on the changes of brain during aging may help elucidate the mechanism of the pathological process, and hence prevent or treat these neurological diseases.Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) and human have a genetic homology of 95%, and their anatomy structures or physiological process are highly similar, which make rhesus macaque one of the most important nonhuman primate models.Thus, the comparison between the change of protein profile during aging in human and rhesus macaque is still necessary, and the characteristics of proteins that are conservative or divergent are of interest.The aim of the(our) study is to identify the conservative changes of pathways during aging, and to reveal the potential difference between human and rhesus macaque so that relevant studies based on primate models can be interpreted more accurately.
