Project description:Orangutans are an endangered species whose natural habitats are restricted to the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra. For potential species conservation and functional genomics studies, we derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from cryopreserved skin fibroblasts obtained from captive orangutans. We report the gene expression profiles of iPSCs and skin fibroblasts derived from orangtuans.

Project description:Orangutans are an endangered species whose natural habitats are restricted to the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra. For potential species conservation and functional genomics studies, we derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from cryopreserved skin fibroblasts obtained from captive orangutans. We report the gene expression profiles of iPSCs and skin fibroblasts derived from orangtuans. The overall goal was to evaluate gene expression biomarkers of pluripotency in iPSCs and skin fibroblasts derived from PBD-ZSD patients and healthy controls. Dermal fibroblast cultures from 2 orangutans were reprogrammed into iPSCs by transfection with retroviruses designed to express the human OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC cDNA. Fibroblasts and iPSCs were cultured in 1:1 ratio of DMEM:F12 medium supplemented with 20% KOSR (knock-out serum replacement) at 37°C with 5% CO2 until confluence for RNA extraction. The overall goal was to evaluate gene expression biomarkers of pluripotency in iPSCs and original fibroblast cultures.

Project description:High-coverage whole genome sequences were collected to study patterns of genomic variation across the broad geography of Indonesia and New Guinea. This region has experienced an extremely complex demographic history, including repeated bouts of admixture with archaic and modern human groups. This dataset reports whole genome sequences for 82 individuals from different populations from Mentawai, New Guinea, Sumatra and Sumba islands. Particular attention has been paid in the original study to genomic signals that are informative for population history, including admixture with archaic hominins and the role of modern human admixture during the late Pleistocene and Holocene.

Project description:Indonesia, the world’s fourth largest country by population, comprises an archipelago of about 900 permanently inhabited islands in tropical Asia, and hosts an astonishing array of human diversity that remains largely underrepresented in modern biological surveys. The region is unique for its key role in both the early and recent evolution of Homo outside of Africa. It has one of the first traces of anatomically modern humans in Eurasia, and was the focus of extensive interaction between archaic hominins and humans – both in the likely co-existence of H. floresiensis with modern humans, and in the introgression of Denisovans into the ancestors of its present inhabitants. More recently, Indonesia was a center of the spread of Neolithic culture by Austronesian speakers. Advancing maritime technologies allowed farming populations to treat this region as a springboard to reach oceanic islands as remote as Madagascar, Hawaii, Easter Island and New Zealand. Here we present complete human genomes from healthy individuals from multiple key islands in Indonesia and Papua. The genomes were sequenced to high depth (30x). The purpose of this dataset is to address different questions of human evolution in Island Southeast Asia and beyond, including early settlement of the area by anatomically modern humans, population structure, genetic admixture and adaptation, and contacts with archaic hominins. We employed a sampling strategy to capture a broad range of diversity across the region incorporating an average of 12 samples from each of 14 islands spanning Indonesia and Papua, from Sumatra in the west to New Britain in the east. Genomes from this dataset form part of an ongoing project to describe and understand human evolutionary history in Island Southeast Asia and Eurasia in general.
