Project description:This data was used to identify regions of the genome that have undergone positive selection in a high-altitude Tibetan population. Affymetrix SNP arrays were used to genotype DNA extracted from blood samples. This data was used to perform genome-wide scans of positive selection in a native high-altitude Tibetan population.
Project description:Tibetan's adaptation to high-altitude environment at the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau represents a remarkable case of natural selection during recent human evolution. We generated time series paired RNAseq, ATACseq and Hi-C data in Tibetan and Han Chinese's umbilical endothelial cells from normoxia to hypoxia condition. Our results provide a broad resource of genome-wide hypoxia regulatory network to characterize the effect of genetic variation in high-altitude adaptation, and indicates large-scale maps of variants need proper cell types to understand its act on gene regulation.
Project description:MAF from pika Epas1-3FLAG knock-in mice were extracted and immortalized. After 12h DMOG treatment, cells were conducted for the ChIP-seq (Bmal1,Flag). We found that in knock-in mice fibroblasts, EPAS1-3FLAG can bind to similar E-box locus compared with BMAL1. Fibroblasts from mouse, rat, rabbit and Tibetan pika were extracted (and Tibetan pika fibroblasts were immortalized). RNA was extracted at 90% confluency. We found that Per2 mRNA level was significantly lower in Tibetan pika fibroblasts compared with other species.
Project description:To investigate the upstream regulatory networks in myogenesis that lead to the establishment of the myogenic lineage and subsequent differentiation, we proformed scATAC-seq of pig somite and myotome cells from Tibetan pigs (ZZ) and Duroc×Tibetan pigs (DZ) at several embryonic stages (E18, E21, and E28).
