RNA polymerase mapping in plants identifies enhancers enriched in causal variants

Project description:Promoter-proximal pausing and divergent transcription at promoters and enhancers, which are prominent features in animals, have been reported to be absent in plants based on a study of Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, our PRO-Seq analysis in cassava (Manihot esculenta) identified peaks of transcriptionally-engaged RNA polymerase II (Pol2) at both 5’ and 3’ ends of genes, consistent with paused or slowly-moving Pol2, and divergent transcription at potential intragenic enhancers. A full genome search for bi-directional transcription using an algorithm for enhancer detection developed in mammals (dREG) identified many enhancer candidates. These sites show distinct patterns of methylation and nucleotide variation based on genomic evolutionary rate profiling characteristic of active enhancers. Maize GRO-Seq data showed RNA polymerase occupancy at promoters and enhancers consistent with cassava but not Arabidopsis. Furthermore, putative enhancers in maize identified by dREG significantly overlapped with sites previously identified on the basis of open chromatin, histone marks, and methylation. As evidence of the functional relevance of these sites in cassava, we show that SNPs in them predict significantly more variation in fitness and root composition than SNPs in chromosomal segments randomly ascertained from the same intergenic distribution. The findings shed new light on plant transcription regulation and its impact on development and plasticity.

RNA polymerase mapping in plants identifies intergenic regulatory elements enriched in causal variants.

Project description:Control of gene expression is fundamental at every level of cell function. Promoter-proximal pausing and divergent transcription at promoters and enhancers, which are prominent features in animals, have only been studied in a handful of research experiments in plants. PRO-Seq analysis in cassava (Manihot esculenta) identified peaks of transcriptionally engaged RNA polymerase at both the 5' and 3' end of genes, consistent with paused or slowly moving Polymerase. In addition, we identified divergent transcription at intergenic sites. A full genome search for bi-directional transcription using an algorithm for enhancer detection developed in mammals (dREG) identified many intergenic regulatory element (IRE) candidates. These sites showed distinct patterns of methylation and nucleotide conservation based on genomic evolutionary rate profiling (GERP). SNPs within these IRE candidates explained significantly more variation in fitness and root composition than SNPs in chromosomal segments randomly ascertained from the same intergenic distribution, strongly suggesting a functional importance of these sites. Maize GRO-Seq data showed RNA polymerase occupancy at IREs consistent with patterns in cassava. Furthermore, these IREs in maize significantly overlapped with sites previously identified on the basis of open chromatin, histone marks, and methylation, and were enriched for reported eQTL. Our results suggest that bidirectional transcription can identify intergenic genomic regions in plants that play an important role in transcription regulation and whose identification has the potential to aid crop improvement.

Fine-mapping and functional studies highlight potential causal variants for rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes

Project description:We investigated whether variants fine-mapped for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Type 1 Diabetes overlap with open chromatin regions specifically after stimulation. We show that rs117701653, a potentially causal variant for RA near CD28, overlaps open chromatin regions only after stimulation. We futhermore observe a small increase in enhancer activity for this variant under stimulatory conditions using a luciferase assay. Reads were anonimized prior to upload.

Genome-wide enhancer-gene regulatory maps link causal variants to target genes underlying human colorectal cancer risk [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Although GWASs have identified thousands of variants associated with human complex traits, most of which reside in the non-coding regions, especially enhancers, and biological mechanisms remain unclear. To created enhancer-gene maps to determine causal variant of CRC risk, we performed multi-omics analyses of ATAC-seq, H3K27ac ChIP-seq and RNA-seq with high quality from our 10 CRC tissues. By computationally integrating these multi-omics data, we identified 34,130 enhancer-gene connections involving 15,121 unique enhancers and 12,351 expressed genes. We demonstrated an ABC regulatory variant rs4810856 that is significantly associated with an increased CRC risk with large-scale population study and biological experiments. Our study provides regulation maps linking enhancers to genes, providing new insights into colorectal cancer etiology.

Fine mapping of type 1 diabetes susceptibility loci and evidence for colocalization of causal variants with lymphoid gene enhancers.

Project description:Genetic studies of type 1 diabetes (T1D) have identified 50 susceptibility regions, finding major pathways contributing to risk, with some loci shared across immune disorders. To make genetic comparisons across autoimmune disorders as informative as possible, a dense genotyping array, the Immunochip, was developed, from which we identified four new T1D-associated regions (P < 5 × 10(-8)). A comparative analysis with 15 immune diseases showed that T1D is more similar genetically to other autoantibody-positive diseases, significantly most similar to juvenile idiopathic arthritis and significantly least similar to ulcerative colitis, and provided support for three additional new T1D risk loci. Using a Bayesian approach, we defined credible sets for the T1D-associated SNPs. The associated SNPs localized to enhancer sequences active in thymus, T and B cells, and CD34(+) stem cells. Enhancer-promoter interactions can now be analyzed in these cell types to identify which particular genes and regulatory sequences are causal.
