Project description:To identify epigenetic programs underlying differentiation of mouse retina, we performed ATAC-Seq on bulk native retina (NaR) and iPSC-derived 3D retinal aggregates (3D-RA) at three matched stages of development: embryonic day (E)13 vs differentiation day (DD)13, postnatal day (P)0 vs DD21, and P5 vs DD25. We produced a total of 24 ATAC-seq libraries with two technical replicates (using either 1 ul or 2 ul of TDE1 enzyme) of two biological replicates, and two genomic DNA libraries to use for background controls.
Project description:We prformed ChIP-seq to identify Hif1a transcription factor binding site in mouse retina at postnatal day 12. Related data are in E-MTAB-9395 (scRNA-seq) and E-MTAB-9440 (ATAC-seq).
Project description:In this study, we have pooled 3 adult wild-type Zebrafish retinas and performed Single-Cell RNA Sequencing. We would like to see the transcriptomic signatures of each cell type in the retina. The data provided here will provide a foundation for other studies to further investigate the transcriptomic retinal enviromnent and compare how their models differ from WT.
Project description:Single cell ATAC-seq (scATAC-seq) was performed on macaque embryonic stem cell-derived cerebral organoids. scATAC-seq was performed on day 60 (2 months old cerebral organoid).
Project description:Thyroid hormone (TH) signaling plays an important role in the regulation of long-wavelength vision in vertebrates. In the retina, thyroid hormone receptor β (thrb) is required for expression of long-wavelength-sensitive opsin (lws) in red cone photoreceptors; whereas in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), TH regulates expression of a cytochrome P450 enzyme, Cyp27c1, that converts vitamin A1 into vitamin A2 to produce a red-shifted chromophore. To better understand how TH controls these processes, we analyzed the phenotype of zebrafish with mutations in the three known TH nuclear receptor transcription factors (thraa, thrab, and thrb). We found that no single TH nuclear receptor is required for TH-mediated induction of cyp27c1 but that deletion of all three (thraa-/-;thrab-/-;thrb-/-) completely abrogates its induction and the resulting conversion of A1- to A2-based retinaldehydes. In the retina, loss of thrb resulted in an absence of red cones at both larval and adult stages without disruption of the underlying cone mosaic. RNA-seq analysis revealed significant downregulation of only five genes in adult thrb-/- retina, of which three (lws1, lws2, and miR-726) occur in a single syntenic cluster. In the larval thrb-/- retina, retinal progenitors destined to become red cones were transfated to ultraviolet (UV) cone opsin (sws1)-expressing cells and cells resembling horizontal cells. Taken together, our findings demonstrate cooperative regulation of cyp27c1 by TH receptors and a requirement for thrb in red cone fate determination. Thus, TH signaling coordinately regulates both spectral sensitivity and sensory plasticity.
Project description:Single cell ATAC-seq (scATAC-seq) was performed on bonobo induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived cerebral organoids. scATAC-seq was performed on day 60 (2 months old cerebral organoid) and day 120 (4 months old cerebral organoid).
Project description:Stable zebrafish cell lines were created that expressed GFP under the control of a previously characterized mouse Smarcd3 enhancer (10.7554/eLife.03848). Specifically, the 2.7 kb Mouse Smarcd3-F6 sequence (chr5: 24113559 -24116342 from mm9 assembly) was sub-cloned from a gateway entry vector into the Zebrafish Enhancer Detection (ZED). Tol2-mediated transgenesis was performed and stable lines were created. The Smarcd3-F6:EGFPhsc70 allele was used for all genomics experiments. Smarcd3-F6:EGFPhsc70 embryos were dissociated at 10 hours post fertilization for fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS). 30,000-50,000 GFP positive and negative cells were collected from FACS for ATAC-seq. ATAC-seq libraries were created with Tn5 transposase and single-end sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform
