Project description:DNA samples of haploid ES cells and control DNA were compared to genomic DNA of the C57B/6 inbred mouse strain on a NimbleGen Mouse CGH 3x720K Whole-Genome Tiling Array (Build MM9), (GPL10989) this analysis was performed to analyse copy number variations in haploid mouse ES cells from different genetic backgrounds. Male C57/B6 DNA was used as control. To identify CNVs based on the different genetic background control experiments comparing DNA from the inbred CBA and a mixed transgeneic mouse strain were performed.
Project description:Diploidy is a fundamental genetic feature in mammals, in which haploid cells normally arise only as post-meiotic germ cells that serve to insure a diploid genome upon fertilization. Gamete manipulation has yielded haploid embryonic stem (ES) cells from several mammalian species, but as of yet not from humans. Here we analyzed a large collection of human parthenogenetic ES cell lines originating from haploid oocytes, leading to the successful isolation and maintenance of human ES cell lines with a normal haploid karyotype. Haploid human ES cells exhibited typical pluripotent stem cell characteristics such as self-renewal capacity and a pluripotency-specific molecular signature. Although haploid human ES cells resembled their diploid counterparts, they also displayed distinct properties including differential regulation of X chromosome inactivation and genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, alongside reduction in absolute gene expression levels and cell size. Intriguingly, we found that a haploid genome is compatible not only with the undifferentiated pluripotent state, but also with differentiated somatic fates representing all three embryonic germ layers, despite a persistent dosage imbalance between the autosomes and X chromosome. We expect that haploid human ES cells will provide novel means for studying human functional genomics, development and evolution.
