Project description:DNA methylation is a chemical modification of DNA that can be faithfully inherited across generations in flowering plant genomes. Failure to properly maintain DNA methylation can lead to epigenetic variation and transposon reactivation. Plant genomes are dynamic, spanning large ranges in size and there is an interplay between the genome and epigenome in shaping one another. To understand the variation in genomic patterning of DNA methylation between species, we compared methylomes of numerous diverse angiosperm species. By examining these variations in a phylogenetic context it becomes clear that there is extensive variation in mechanisms that govern gene body DNA methylation, euchromatic silencing of transposons and repeats, as well as silencing of heterochromatic transposons. Extensive variation is observed at all cytosine sequence contexts (CG, CHG and CHH, where H = A, C, T), with the Brassicaceae showing reduced CHG methylation levels and also reduced or loss of CG gene-body methylation. The Poaceae are characterized by a lack or reduction of heterochromatic CHH methylation and enrichment of CHH methylation in genic regions. Reduced CHH methylation levels are found in clonally propagated species, suggesting that these methods of propagation may alter the epigenomic landscape over time, in the absence of sexual reproduction. These results show that DNA methylation targeting pathways have diverged functionally and that extant DNA methylation patterns are likely a reflection of the evolutionary and life histories of plant species. Bisulfite-seq of leaf tissue from plants representing diverse angiosperms. RNA-seq and small RNA-seq was performed on leaf tissue of a subset of the species.

Project description:A major effort is underway to study the natural variation within the model plant species, Arabidopsis thaliana. Much of this effort is focused on genome resequencing, however the translation of genotype to phenotype will be largely effected through variations within the transcriptomes at the sequence and expression levels. To examine the cross-talk between natural variation in genomes and transcriptomes, we have examined the transcriptomes of three divergent A. thaliana accessions using tiling arrays. Combined with genome resequencing efforts, we were able to adjust the tiling array datasets to account for polymorphisms between the accessions and therefore gain a more accurate comparison of the transcriptomes. The corrected results for the transcriptomes allowed us to correlate higher gene polymorphism with greater variation in transcript level among the accessions. Our results demonstrate the utility of combining genomic data with tiling arrays to assay non-reference accession transcriptomes.
