Project description:DNA methylation is a widely conserved epigenetic modification that is established and maintained by the cooperative activity of DNA methyltransferases. While the complement of DNA methyltransferase genes can vary substantially between animal species, whole-genome methylation analyses have suggested that major features of animal methylomes are widely conserved. We have now used genome-scale bisulfite sequencing to analyze the methylome of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, which represents an economically important pest with a high degree of phenotypic plasticity. Interestingly, in this system, DNA methylation appears to be both established and maintained by Dnmt1 methyltransferases, which distinguishes locusts from most other known organisms. Our results indicate that the S. gregaria methylome shares preferential methylation of CpG dinucleotides and exons with other animal methylomes. In contrast to other invertebrates, however, overall methylation levels were substantially higher and a significant fraction of transposons was methylated. Additionally, genes were densely methylated in a pronounced bimodal pattern, suggesting a role for DNA methylation in the regulation of locust gene expression. Altogether, our results uncover a unique pattern of genome methylation in locusts and also suggest that animal methylomes may be more diverse than previously thought. Whole exome methylation analysis of S. gregaria. Two samples were analyzed, one sample containing DNA from brain, one sample containing DNA from MTG. To date, there exists no sequenced genome of Schistocerca gregaria; thus, we could only map the data against an EST database (Locust2 EST project) representing the coding part of the genome.

Project description:Cytosine methylation is a conserved base modification, but explanations for its interspecific variation remain elusive. Only through taxonomic sampling of disparate groups can unifying explanations for interspecific variation be thoroughly tested. Here we leverage phylogenetic resolution of cytosine DNA methyltransferases (DNA MTases) and genome evolution to better understand widespread interspecific variation across 40 diverse fungal species. DNA MTase genotypes have diversified from the ancestral DNMT1+DNMT5 genotype through numerous loss events, and duplications, whereas, DIM-2 and RID-1 are more recently derived in fungi. Methylation is typically enriched at intergenic regions, which includes repeats and transposons. Unlike certain Insecta and Angiosperm species, Fungi lack canonical gene body methylation. Some fungi species possess large clusters of contiguous methylation encompassing many genes, repetitive DNA and transposons, and are not ancient in origin. Broadly, methylation is partially explained by DNA MTase genotype and repetitive DNA content. Basidiomycota on average have the highest level of methylation, and repeat content, compared to other phyla. However, exceptions exist across Fungi. Other traits, including DNA repair mechanisms, might contribute to interspecific methylation variation within Fungi. Our results show mechanism and genome evolution are unifying explanations for interspecific methylation variation across Fungi.

Project description:Centromeric repetitive DNA sequences are highly variable during evolution, which are the hub for genome stability in almost all the eukaryotic organisms. However, how centromeric repeat sequences diverge rapidly among closely related species and populations, and how polyploidy contributed to the diversity of centromere among co-evolved subgenomes are largely unknown. Here, we applied the Brachypodium system to investigate the track of centromere evolution within this taxa, and their adaptation to alloploidization process. Subgenome divergent centromeric satellite repeat were discovered in tetraploid B. hybridum, and this divergent was originated form their two diploid progenitors. Furthermore, differential sequences influence the association sites with CENH3 nucleosomes on the monomer satellite repeats, and positioning of CENH3 nucleosomes on the satellite DNA are stable in each subgenome after alloploidization. Only minor intrasubgenomic variations were observed on these satellite repeats from diploid to tetraploid in B. hybridum, and no evident intersubgenomic transfer of centromeric satellite repeats after alloploidization. Pan-genome analysis reveals that the general principle of centromere dynamic within the populations in Brachypodium genomes with different polyploidy level. Our results provide an unprecedented information regarding the genomic and functional diversity of centromeric repeat DNA during evolution.

Project description:In mammals, DNA methylation is essential for protecting repetitive sequences from aberrant transcription, translocation, and homologous recombination. However, DNA hypomethylation occurs during specific developmental stages (e.g. preimplantation embryos) and in certain cell types (e.g., primordial germ cells). The absence of dysregulated repetitive elements in these cells suggests the existence of alternative mechanisms that prevent genome instability triggered by DNA hypomethylation. In this report, we seek to elucidate the factors that play a critical role in ensuring genome stability by focusing on DAXX and ATRX, two proteins that have been linked to transcriptional control and epigenetic regulation. We carried out ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analyses to compare the genome-wide binding and transcriptome profiles of DAXX and ATRX in mouse ES (mES) cells triple knocked out for the three mammalian DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) (TKO cells) to those in wildtype mES cells. Our data indicate that DAXX and ATRX are distinct in their chromatin-binding profiles and highly co-enriched at tandem repetitive elements. Global DNA hypomethylation, as was the case in TKO cells, further promoted the recruitment of the DAXX/ATRX complex to tandem repeat sequences including IAP (intracisternal A‐particle) retrotransposons and telomeres. Inhibition of DAXX or ATRX in cells with hypomethylated genomes (e.g., TKO cells, mES cells cultured in ground-state conditions, and preimplantation embryos) increased aberrant transcriptional de-repression of repeat elements and dysfunction at telomeres. Furthermore, we provide evidence that DAXX/ATRX-dependent silencing may occur through DAXX’s interaction with SUV39H1 and increased H3K9me3 on repetitive sequences. Our study suggests that DAXX and ATRX are important for safeguarding the genome, particularly in silencing repetitive elements in the absence of DNA methylation. We tested the hypothesis that the DAXX/ATRX complex participates in protecting repetitive elements in the absence of DNA methylation. To this end, we investigated genome-wide chromatin targeting of DAXX and ATRX in wildtype mES cells, and in mES cells that exhibit extensive loss of DNA methylation due to homozygous knockout of all three DNA.

Project description:The nonrandom distribution of meiotic recombination shapes patterns of inheritance and genome evolution, but chromosomal features governing this distribution are poorly understood. Formation of the DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate recombination results in accumulation of Spo11 protein covalently bound to small DNA fragments. We show here that sequencing these fragments provides a genome-wide DSB map of unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. We use this map to explore the influence of large-scale chromosome structures, chromatin, transcription factors, and local sequence composition on DSB distributions. Our analysis supports the view that the recombination terrain is molded by combinatorial and hierarchical interaction of factors that work on widely different size scales. Mechanistic aspects of DSB formation and early processing steps are also uncovered. This map illuminates the occurrence of DSBs in repetitive DNA elements, repair of which can lead to chromosomal rearrangements. We discuss implications for evolutionary dynamics of recombination hotspots. We deep sequenced 4 samples of Spo11 oligos on Roche 454 platform. Three samples are technical replicates of Spo11 oligo products prepared from one meiotic culture and the fourth sample was prepared from an independent culture.
