Project description:The glp-1/NOTCH pathway is a conserved pathway that plays an important role in developmental control. To study the effect of natural genetic variation on perturbations in this pathway, we used N2xCB4856 recombinant inbred lines of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. These were treated with empty vector or gld-1 RNAi, where gld-1 is a key developmental gene in the glp-1/NOTCH pathway. The recombinant inbred lines were exposed for two generation to the treatment and 47 hour old L4 juveniles were collected for RNA isolation. In total 39 RILs were exposed to the empty-vector treatment and 46 RILs were exposed to the gld-1 treatment. Gene expression was quantified using microarrays.

Project description:We conducted a timeseries experiment on a recombinant inbred line (RIL) panel of Caenorhabditis elegans derived from a NL5901 x SCH4856 cross. These RILs carry a human alpha-synuclein gene in an N2 and a CB4856 genetic background respectively. We grew synchronized populations of the nematodes (70 RILs, N2, CB4856, NL5901, and SCH4856) under normal conditions (20 degrees Celcius, feeding on Escherichia coli OP50) for 120 hours. The goal of the experiment was to identify loci affecting gene expression in the presence of human alpha-synuclein

Project description:We analyzed the consequences of recombination in gene expression. For this, we measured expression patterns in two C. elegans wild types, N2 and CB4856 (CB). We compare these profiles with gene expression values from a Recombinant Inbred Population (RIL) derived from the same wild types. Expression values of the RILs (GSE17071) were obtained from Viñuela et al. (Genome Research, 2010). N2 and CB strain nematodes were cultured in identical conditions. Likewise, mRNA was extracted at three different ages (juveniles, reproductive and old worms) to investigate the transcriptional consequences of recombination in aging worms. Then, we explored gene expression heritability and transgression as genetic parameters for the analysis of gene expression divergence in natural isolates. Moreover, we investigated the progression of those parameters with age.

Project description:Recombinant inbred lines were created by crossing the alpha-synuclein containing Caenorhabditis elegans strains NL5901 and SCH4856. These strains contain the human alpha-synuclein gene fused to YFP and under the control of an unc-54 promotor (unc-54p::alpha-synnuclein::YFP) in an N2 and CB4856 genetic background, respectively. These two strains were used to generate a total of 212 recombinant inbred lines, of which 88 were genotyped by whole-genome sequencing using a MiSeq. These recombinant inbred lines can be used for mapping genetic modifiers affecting protein accumulation.

Project description:Complex traits, including common disease-related traits, are affected by many different genes that function in multiple pathways and networks. The apoptosis, MAPK, Notch and Wnt signalling pathways play important roles in development and disease progression. At the moment we have a poor understanding of how allelic variation affects gene expression in these pathways at the level of translation. Here we report the effect of natural genetic variation on transcript and protein abundance involved in developmental signalling pathways in Caenorhabditis elegans. We used selected reaction monitoring to analyse proteins from the abovementioned four pathways in a set of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) generated from the wild-type strains Bristol N2 and Hawaii CB4856 to enable quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping. Variation in gene expression was greater in the RILs than in the parental lines, at the proteome as well as at the transcriptome levels. We detected a trans-QTL on the left arm of chromosome II that affected protein abundance of the phosphatidylserine receptor protein PSR-1, and two separate QTLs that influenced embryonic and ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis on chromosome IV. Our results demonstrate that natural variation in C. elegans is sufficient to cause significant changes in signalling pathways both at the gene expression (transcript and protein abundance) and phenotypic levels.

Project description:Alternative splicing is considered a major mechanism for creating multicellular diversity from a limited repertoire of genes. Different isoforms can be produced at the same time in the same cell type and their ratios can be the same or different between divergent genotypes. Here, we studied genetic variation in alternative splicing patterns in a large recombinant inbred population of C. elegans, using whole-genome tiling arrays. This experiment allowed us to detect heritable differences in gene expression with exquisite sensitivity and resolution, and we detected 435 genes with substantial heritable variation for at least one exon. Nonetheless, we find only a very small number of examples of heritable variation in alternative splicing (22 transcripts), and most of these genes co-localize with the associated genomic loci. This is in striking contrast to earlier observations in humans, which showed much less genetic robustness. C. elegans recombinant inbred lines were generated and genotyped as described in (Li et al. 2006). mRNA was isolated from 60 RILs reared under standard condition and hybridized to Affymetrix 1.0 C. elegans tiling arrays. The hybridization was done by ServiceXS (Leiden, The Netherlands).

In total, 14 dual-color microarrays were done on two wild type strains (N2 and CB4856) and three age groups (40, 96, and 214 hours). 5 replicates of t1 (juvenile) and t3 (senescent) samples, and 4 replicates of t2 (reproductive) samples, in a dye-swap design.
