Project description:Non-coding regulatory elements (NCRE) represent a major fraction of the human genome, play important roles in different biological pathways, and have the potential as genomic medicine targets. We developed a straightforward dual-CRISPR screening system capable of deleting thousands of NCREs genome-wide to study their functions in distinct biological contexts in K562 cells and 293T cells. We show that many NCREs, including ultraconserved elements (UCE), have silencer activity and play essential roles in cell growth and drug response. NCREs with redundant functions could also be identified from the screening data. This dual-CRISPR system is also compatible with single-cell sequencing. We identified that UCE PAX6_Tarzan might be critical in heart development, as removing it from human embryonic stem cells led to defects in cardiomyocyte differentiation. Our study provides further evidence that many NCREs have important biological functions contributing to human biology and diseases, and may serve as future drug targets.

Project description:The dual functional lncRNAs have been intensively studied and identified to be involved in various fundamental cellular processes recently. It is essential to understand in which context when a dual functional lncRNA serves as a non-coding RNA or a template for coding peptide, particularly in some pathological conditions. However, apart from time consuming and cell type specific experiments, there is virtually no in-silico method for predicting the identity of dual functional lncRNAs. Here, we developed a deep-learning model with multi-head self-attention mechanism, LncReader, to identify dual functional lncRNAs based on their sequence, physicochemical and secondary structural features. Our data demonstrated that LncReader showed multiple advantage compared to various classical machine learning methods. Moreover, to obtain independent in-house datasets for robust testing, mass spectrometry proteomics combined with RNA-seq were applied in four leukemia cell lines. Remarkably, LncReader achieved the best performance among all these datasets. Therefore, LncReader provides a sophisticated and practical tool that enables fast dual functional lncRNAs identification.

We developed a straightforward dual-CRISPR screening system capable of deleting thousands of NCREs genome-wide to study their functions in distinct biological contexts in K562 cells. Here we reported 4 top hits from the genome-wide screen of ultra-conserved elements (UCE), i.e. PAX6_Tarzan(chr11:31810437-31810870, hg19) and PBX3_Claudia(chr9:128457564-128457785, hg19) play essential roles in cell growth and drug response.

Project description:Pooled CRISPR-Cas9 screens have recently emerged as a powerful method for functionally characterizing regulatory elements in the non-coding genome, but off-target effects in these experiments have not been systematically evaluated. Here, we conducted multiple genome-scale CRISPR screens for essential CTCF loop anchors in the human K562 erythroid cell line. Surprisingly, the primary drivers of apparent ``hits'' in this screen were single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) with low sequence specificity. After removing these confounders, we found that no CTCF loop anchors among the ones we screened are essential for cell growth in culture. We also observed analogous effects in independent non-coding screens densely tiling regulatory elements and genomic neighborhoods near previously known essential genes. Strikingly, we found that low-specificity guides also result in strong confounding growth effects in screens employing epigenetic perturbations that do not cause DNA damage, such as CRISPRi and CRISPRa. Remarkably, the set of confounded guides is distinct for each perturbation mode. Promisingly, strict filtering of CRISPRi libraries using GuideScan-aggregate specificity scores removed these confounded sgRNAs and allowed for the identification of essential enhancers, which we validated extensively. Our stduy presents the first genome-scale functional characterization of CTCF binding sites in the human genome, while also identifying the limitations on and outlining the future prospects for the detailed functional dissection of regulatory elements in the genome using Cas9.

Project description:Large genome mapping consortia and thousands of genome-wide association studies have identified non-protein coding elements in the genome as a having a central role in tissue development, cell-type specification, response to environmental or pharmacologic signals, and susceptibility to most common diseases. However, decoding the function of the millions of putative regulatory elements discovered in these studies remains a primary challenge. New CRISPR/Cas9-based epigenome editing technologies have enabled the precise perturbation of the activity of specific regulatory elements. Here we describe CRISPR/Cas9-based Epigenomic Regulatory Element Screening (CERES) for high-throughput screening of regulatory element activity within the native genomic context. We perform both loss- and gain-of-function screens with complementary epigenome editing tools to identify known and unknown regulatory elements of medically relevant genes in human cells. The high-throughput functional annotation of putative regulatory elements by CERES constitutes a new platform for screening biological mechanisms that cannot be perturbed by traditional methods.

Project description:Chromatin boundary elements contribute to the partitioning of mammalian genomes into topological domains to regulate gene expression. Certain boundary elements are adopted as DNA insulators for safe and stable transgene expression in mammalian cells. These elements, however, are ill-defined and less characterized in the non-coding genome, partially due to the lack of a platform to readily evaluate boundary-associated activities of putative DNA sequences. Here we report SHIELD (Site-specific Heterochromatin Insertion of Elements at Lamina-associated Domains), a novel platform tailored for the high-throughput screening of barrier-type DNA elements in human cells. SHIELD takes advantage of the high specificity of serine integrase at heterochromatin, and exploits the natural heterochromatin spreading inside LADs for the discovery of potent barrier elements. We adopted SHIELD to evaluate the barrier activity of 1000 DNA elements in a high-throughput manner and identified 8 novel elements with barrier activities comparable to the core region of cHS4 element. SHIELD should greatly facilitate the discovery of novel barrier DNA elements from the non-coding genome in human cells.
