Project description:Neisseria meningitidis is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis and septicemia worldwide. The novel ST-4821 clonal complex caused several serogroup C meningococcal outbreaks unexpectedly during 2003–2005 in China. We fabricated a whole-genome microarray of Chinese N. meningitidis serogroup C representative isolate 053442 and characterized 27 ST-4821 complex isolates which were isolated from different serogroups using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis. This paper provides important clues which are helpful to understand the genome composition and genetic background of different serogroups isolates, and possess significant meaning to the study of the newly emerged hyperinvasive lineage. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization

To further understand the genome diversity of ST-4821 complex isolates, CGH analysis was employed to compare the genomic content of 053442 with those of 27 ST-4821 complex isolates which were isolated from 14 provinces of China during 1977â2005.

Project description:Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of bacterial meningitis and septicemia worldwide. Seven new serogroup C meningococci were isolated from two provinces of China in January, 2006. Their PorA VR types were P1.20, 9. Multilocus sequence typing results indicated that they all belonged to ST-7. It is a new serogroup C N. meningitidis sequence type clone identified in China. Here we also present the results of a genomic comparison of these isolates with other 15 N. meningitidis serogroup A and B isolates, which belonged to ST-7, based on comparative genomic hybridization analysis. The data described here would be helpful to monitor the spread of this new serogroup C meningococci sequence type clone in China and worldwide. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization To compare the genome compositions of these menC ST-7 isolates with those of menC ST-4821 isolates, menA ST-7 isolates and menB ST-7 isolates, we performed comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis among 17 N. meningitidis isolates (including two newly identified menC ST-7 isolates) using an updated version of the whole-genome microarray of N. meningitidis serogroup C isolate 053442 .

Project description:Microarray comparative genome hybridization (mCGH) data was collected from one Neisseria cinerea, two Neisseria lactamica, two Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and 48 Neisseria meningitidis isolates. For N. meningitidis, these isolates are from diverse clonal complexes, invasive and carriage strains, and all major serogroups. The microarray platform represented N. meningitidis strains MC58, Z2491, and FAM18 and N. gonorrhoeae FA1090.

Project description:PFGRC has developed a cost effective alternative to complete genome sequencing in order to study the genetic differences between closely related species and/or strains. The comparative genomics approach combines Gene Discovery (GD) and Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) techniques, resulting in the design and production of species microarrays that represent the diversity of a species beyond just the sequenced reference strain(s) used in the initial microarray design. These species arrays may then be used to interrogate hundreds of closely related strains in order to further unravel their evolutionary relationships. The Neissiria are among most deadly pathogens world-wide. The infections and outbreaks caused by this pathogens is quite frequent despite existing diagnostic network and therapeutic means. Therefore, developing reliable diagnostic tools and efficient (broad-spectrum) therapeutics for Neisseria meningitidis remain a public health priority for every country in world today. The comparative genomics study will provide the largest hitherto genomic data sets regarding this pathogen.These large data sets will enable us as well as other members of scientific community to conduct comprehensive data mining in the form of gene association studies with statistical power and significance.

Project description:Neisseria meningitidis is a human commensal that occasionally causes life-threatening infections such as bacterial meningitis and septicemia. Despite experimental evidence that gene regulation as well as the expression of small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) affect meningococcal virulence, the organization of its transcriptome, including in particular the biogenesis of sRNAs and their mode of action, is only poorly understood. Here, we addressed these issues using a combination of high-throughput technologies. We applied differential RNA-seq (dRNA-seq) to produce a single-nucleotide resolution map of the primary transcriptome of N. meningitidis strain 8103. Our dRNA-seq analysis predicted 1,625 transcriptional start sites (TSS) including 65 non-coding RNA transcripts, of which 20 were further validated by Northern analysis. This allowed for the discovery of a novel CRISPR-associated sRNA with a Cas9-independent biogenesis. Genome-wide mapping of σ 70-dependent and independent promoters revealed that classical Escherichia coli-like σ70 promoter are absent in most of the protein coding genes in meningococci. The majority of the 706 primary TSSs (pTSSs) were associated with coding sequences, including 382 pTSS obtained for single genes and 240 pTSSs obtained for genes located in operons. By Hfq RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq) we identified a large Hfq-centered post-transcriptional regulatory network comprising 24 sRNAs and 407 potential mRNA targets, and rifampicin stability assays demonstrated that Hfq binding confers enhanced stability on sRNAs. We finally confirmed the interactions of two sRNAs and their cognate target mRNA in vivo. Both directly repress prpB encoding a methylisocitrate lyse which was previously shown to be involved in meningococcal colonization of the human nasopharynx.The combination of both high-throughput approaches thus creates a compendium that not only provides a valuable data resource, but also allows for a better understanding of meningococcal transcriptome organization and riboregulation with implications for colonization of the human nasopharynx.
