Project description:Here we use bisulfite conversion of RNA combined with high-throughput IIlumina sequencing (RBS-seq) to identify single-nucleotide resolution of m5C sites in transfer RNAs of all three sub-cellular transcriptomes of Arabidopsis thaliana. 5-methylcytosine sites in tRNAs were also determined in Arabidopsis T-DNA knockouts for the RNA methyltransferases TRM4A, TRM4B, TRDMT1, NSUN5 and NOP2A.

Project description:5′ methylation of cytosines in DNA molecules is an important epigenetic mark in eukaryotes. Bisulfite sequencing is the gold standard of DNA methylation detection, and whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) has been widely used to detect methylation at single-nucleotide resolution on a genome-wide scale. However, sodium bisulfite is known to severely degrade DNA, which, in combination with biases introduced during PCR amplification, leads to unbalanced base representation in the final sequencing libraries. Enzymatic conversion of unmethylated cytosines to uracils can achieve the same end product for sequencing as does bisulfite treatment and does not affect the integrity of the DNA; enzymatic methylation sequencing may, thus, provide advantages over bisulfite sequencing.

Project description:We generated a map of NSUN6-dependent RNA 5 methyl-cytosine in the human transcriptome by applying RNA bisulfite conversion and sequencing to two sets of cell lines (HUES9 and HEK293) where the RNA cytosine 5 methyl-transfearse NSUN6 has been either knocked out by CRISPR Cas9 or overexpressed using a PiggyBac vector. We apply this and other molecular methods to validate NSUN6 RNA methylation targets with single nucelotide resolution in the human transcriptome.
Project description:By depleting CGGBP1 in normal human fibroblasts and by performing genome-wide sequencing (with and without bisulfite conversion) we show that upon CGGBP1 depletion cytosine methylation increases significantly at repeat regions. Using Pacbio sequencing of Alu and LINE-1 repeats amplified genome-wide from bisulfite converted DNA, we further establish the cytosine methylation-inhibitory functions of CGGBP1.
Project description:We developed a genome-wide DNA methylation profiling technology that determines methylation patterns using small amounts of starting material. This process involves a novel amplification step for DNA subjected to bisulfite-mediated cytosine conversion and generates highly reproducible datasets with low technical variation. The technology, named BiMP (for Bisulfite Methylation Profiling), is more cost-effective than mC immunoprecipitation techniques (mCIP) and can be applied to as little as 100 ng of Arabidopsis DNA. It is anticipated that this technology can be applied to mammalian genomes and may allow methylation profiling of a small number of physiologically uniform cells.

Project description:DNA-prep of Col and hcr2 mutant from seedling and bud sample. DNA was extracted using DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen 69104, USA). Library construction and bisulfite conversion was performed using EZ DNA Methylation-Gold kit (ZYMO). DNA libraries are sequenced on the DNBseq platform (BGI, Hong Cong).
