Project description:Vesper bats (family Vespertilionidae) experienced a rapid adaptive radiation beginning around 36 mya that resulted in the second most species rich mammalian family. Coincident with that radiation was an initial burst of DNA transposon activity that has continued into the present. Deep sequencing of small RNAs from the vespertilionid, Eptesicus fuscus, as well as dog and horse revealed that substantial numbers of novel bat miRNAs are derived from DNA transposons unique to vespertilionids. In fact, 35.9% of Eptesicus-specific miRNAs derive from DNA transposons compared to 2.2 and 5.9% of dog- and horse-specific miRNAs, respectively and targets of several miRNAs are identifiable. Timing of the DNA transposon expansion and the introduction of novel miRNAs coincides remarkably well with the rapid diversification of the family Vespertilionidae. We suggest that the rapid and repeated perturbation of regulatory networks by the introduction of many novel miRNA loci was a factor in the rapid radiation.

Project description:Ionizing radiation exposure from a potential nuclear energy plant leak or detonation of a nuclear weapon can cause massive casualties to both warfighters and civilians. Biomarkers in biological specimens like blood and tissue, such as RNA, proteins, and metabolites, have shown potential to determine radiation dose levels. However, these biomarkers in blood and urine are short-lived, typically detectable only within hours or a few days. To address the need for stable, long-term radiation exposure biomarkers, we developed two LC-MS-based methods using non-invasive hair samples to identify radiation-induced biomarkers

Project description:Mammalian interphase chromosomes interact with the nuclear lamina (NL) through hundreds of large Lamina Associated Domains (LADs). We report a method to map NL contacts genome-wide in single human cells. Analysis of ~400 maps reveals a core architecture of gene-poor LADs that contact the NL with high cell-to-cell consistency, interspersed by LADs with more variable NL interactions. The variable contacts are more sensitive to a change in genome ploidy than the consistent contacts. Single-cell maps indicate that NL contacts involve multivalent interactions over hundreds of kilobases. Moreover, we observe extensive intra-chromosomal coordination of NL contacts, even over tens of megabases. Such coordinated loci exhibit preferential interactions as detected by Hi-C. Finally, single-cell gene expression and chromatin accessibility analysis shows that loci with consistent NL contacts are expressed at lower levels and are more consistently inaccessible than loci with lower contact frequencies. These results highlight fundamental principles of single cell chromatin organization. Hi-C Data
