Project description:Chromatin accessibility mapping by DNase-seq on whole embryo and FACS-isolated cell populations during Drosophila melanogaster embryogenesis at 2-4 hrs, 4-6 hrs, 6-8 hrs, 8-10 hrs and 10-12 hrs after egg-laying. Note that the two 8 bases long UMIs clipped from read1 and read2 are present in the FastQ file header (followed by the 8 bp long invariant sample barcode)
Project description:Droplet-based single-cell sequencing techniques have provided unprecedented insight into cellular heterogeneities within tissues. However, these approaches only allow for the measurement of the distal parts of a transcript following short-read sequencing. Therefore, splicing and sequence diversity information is lost for the majority of the transcript. The application of long-read Nanopore sequencing to droplet-based methods is challenging because of the low base-calling accuracy currently associated with Nanopore sequencing. Although several approaches that use additional short-read sequencing to error-correct the barcode and UMI sequences have been developed, these techniques are limited by the requirement to sequence a library using both short- and long-read sequencing. Here we introduce a novel approach termed single-cell Barcode UMI Correction sequencing (scBUC-seq) to efficiently error-correct barcode and UMI oligonucleotide sequences synthesized by using blocks of dimeric nucleotides. The method can be applied to correct both short-read and long-read sequencing, thereby allowing users to recover more reads per cell that permits direct single-cell Nanopore sequencing for the first time. We illustrate our method by using species-mixing experiments to evaluate barcode assignment accuracy and multiple myeloma cell lines to evaluate differential isoform usage and Ewing’s sarcoma cells to demonstrate Ig fusion transcript analysis.

Project description:In mouse development, long-term silencing by CpG island DNA methylation is specifically targeted to germline genes, however the molecular mechanisms of this specificity remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that the transcription factor E2F6, a member of the polycomb repressive complex 1.6 (PRC1.6), is critical to target and initiate epigenetic silencing at germline genes in early embryogenesis. Genome-wide, E2F6 binds preferentially to CpG islands in embryonic cells. E2F6 cooperates with MGA to silence a subgroup of germline genes in mouse embryonic stem cells and in vivo, a function that critically depends on the E2F6 marked box domain. Inactivation of E2f6 leads to a failure to deposit CpG island DNA methylation at these genes during implantation. Furthermore, E2F6 is required to initiate epigenetic silencing in early embryonic cells but becomes dispensable for the maintenance in differentiated cells. Our findings elucidate the mechanisms of epigenetic targeting of germline genes and provide a paradigm for how transient repression signals by DNA-binding factors in early embryonic cells are translated into long term epigenetic silencing during mammalian development.
Project description:HCC827 cells were barcoded using the ClonTracer lentiviral barcode library such that the majority of cells were infected with a single barcode. One million cells were expanded to ~120 million cells and split into 8 HYPERfasks. Two HYPERfasks were grown under DMSO and grown until confluence. In six HYPERfasks cells were grown under a GI90 concentration of one of two different inhibitors, gefitinib and trametinib (3 HYPERfasks each). Cells achieved confluence at 4 and 9 weeks for gefitinib and trametinib respectively. During this time, the medium and inhibitor were replenished weekly and DNA was extracted from the medium to track barcode content from dying cells.
