Natural epigenetic variation provides a source for the generation of phenotypic diversity, but to understand its contribution to such diversity, its interaction with genetic variation requires further investigation. Here we report population-wide DNA sequencing of genomes, transcriptomes and methylomes of wild Arabidopsis thaliana accessions. Single cytosine methylation polymorphisms are not linked to genotype. However, the rate of linkage disequilibrium decay amongst differentially methylated r ...[more]

Rate, spectrum, and evolutionary dynamics of spontaneous epimutations

Project description:Stochastic changes in cytosine methylation are a source of heritable epigenetic and phenotypic diversity in plants. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, we derive robust estimates of the rate at which methylation is spontaneously gained (forward epimutation) or lost (backward epimutation) at individual cytosines and construct a comprehensive picture of the epimutation landscape in this species. We demonstrate that the dynamic interplay between forward and backward epimutations is modulated by genomic context and show that subtle contextual differences have profoundly shaped patterns of methylation diversity in A. thaliana natural populations over evolutionary timescales. Theoretical arguments indicate that the epimutation rates reported here are high enough to rapidly uncouple genetic from epigenetic variation, but low enough for new epialleles to sustain long-term selection responses. Our results provide new insights into methylome evolution and its population-level consequences. MethylC-seq of Arabidopsis thaliana

High-throughput Illumina sequencing of bisulfite transformed genomic DNA from Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type, msh1 mutant and MSH1-epiF3 lines

Project description:Arabidopsis msh1 mutants display developmental reprogramming (dr) phenotypes, include reduction in growth, enhanced branching, and delayed maturation and flowering time. MSH1-epi lines were derived by crossing MSH-dr lines with Col-0 wild type, followed by selection for homozygous MSH1/MSH1 F2 plants and serial self-pollination. MSH1-epiF3 plants displayed phenotypic variation in plant growth, showing enhanced growth, larger rosette diameter, thicker floral stems and earlier flowering time. We carried bisulfite sequencing and uncover the methylome changes accompany the heritable MSH1-epi phenotypes that condition dramatic variation in plant growth. 3 samples examined: wild type, Msh1-epiF3, msh1 mutant

Analysis of soybean DNA methylomes shows CHH hypermethylation enhances gene expression in cotyledons of developing seeds [methylome]

Project description:Cytosine methylation is an important mechanism for dynamical regulation of gene expression and transposon mobility during plant developmental processes. Recently, the variation of DNA methylation has been described between wild type and DNA methylation-related mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana. However, the elaborate representation of soybean DNA methylomes remains lacking. Here, we described the epigenome maps of soybean root, stem, leaf, and cotyledon of developing seed at a single-base resolution. We confirmed the transcription start sites of genes using high-throughput sequencing and reported the DNA methylation patterns in gene and transposon regions. The correlation between gene expression and DNA methylation was revealed through transcriptome sequencing. We found CHH methylation may function in promotion of gene expression and ten cotyledon-preferred genes were identified CHH hypermethylated in cotyledon. Small RNA library sequencing showed that DNA methylation was enhanced by small RNAs not by strand-specific way, and the variation of DNA methylation between the organs was highly related with expression of small RNAs. methylomes of roots, stems, leaves, and cotyledons of developing seeds

Unique cell-type specific patterns of DNA methylation in the root meristem (MethylC-seq)

Project description:DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that differs between plant organs and tissues, but the extent of variation between cell types is not known. Here, we report single-base resolution whole genome DNA methylomes, mRNA transcriptomes, and small RNA transcriptomes for six cell populations covering the major cell types of the Arabidopsis root meristem. We identify widespread cell type specific patterns of DNA methylation, especially in the CHH sequence context. The genome of the columella root cap is the most highly methylated Arabidopsis cell characterized to date. It is hypermethylated within transposable elements, accompanied by increased abundance of transcripts encoding RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway components and 24 nt small RNAs. Absence of the nucleosome remodeler DECREASED DNA METHYLATION 1, required for maintenance of DNA methylation, and low abundance of histone transcripts involved in heterochromatin formation suggests a loss of heterochromatin may occur in the columella, thus allowing access of RdDM factors to the whole genome, and producing excess 24 nt small RNAs in this tissue. Together, these maps provide new insights into the epigenomic diversity that exists between distinct plant somatic cell types. MethylC-seq from six cell populations covering the major cell types of the Arabidopsis root meristem.

Tissue-specific methylomes reveal epigenetic memory in adult mouse tissue

Project description:Cytosine methylation of DNA is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism from plants to animals with crucial roles in gene regulation. However, the variation between methylomes of normal tissues is largely unexplored. To better understand the epigenetic variation of a normal individual, we profiled DNA methylation using whole genome bisulfite sequencing in 17 tissues isolated from an individual mouse. We observed a unique distribution of CpG methylation for each tissue, which cluster based on cell lineage. Global analysis identified only one-eighth of the genome as tissue-specifically methylated. Remarkably, the vast majority of these regions exhibit hallmarks of cis-regulatory activity. Our results also reveal a novel class of dormant enhancers in adult tissues which retain an epigenetic memory of regulatory elements active during development. Together, these results expand the repertoire of regulatory information encoded within the methylome, and suggest mapping it as an alternative method to identify cell-type specific regulatory elements. whole genome bisulfite sequencing of mouse adult tissue

Single-base resolution DNA methylomes of soybean recombinant inbred lines reveals heritability patterns of natural methylation variants

Project description:The epigenomics approaches presented here provide the first comprehensive study of the patterns and heritability of methylation variants in a complex genetic population over multiple generations paving the way for understanding how methylation variants contribute to phenotypic variation. MethylC-Seq and RNA-Seq data collected from Glycine max leaves of two parental lines of a RIL population and two individual RILs. Additionally gDNA-Seq was performed on the two parental lines [SRA060034].

Plants regenerated from tissue culture contain stable epigenome changes in rice

Project description:Most transgenic crops are produced through tissue culture. The impact of utilizing such methods on the plant epigenome is poorly understood. Here we generated whole-genome, single-nucleotide resolution maps of DNA methylation in several transgenic rice lines. We found that all tested transgenic plants had significant losses of methylation compared to untransformed plants. Loss of methylation was largely stable across generations, and certain sites in the genome were particularly susceptible to loss of methylation. Loss of methylation at promoters was associated with deregulated expression of protein-coding genes. Analyses of callus and untransformed plants regenerated from callus indicated that loss of methylation is stochastically induced at the tissue culture step. These changes in methylation may explain a component of somaclonal variation, a phenomenon in which plants derived from tissue culture manifest phenotypic variability. Whole genome methylation maps of rice were generated using BS-seq (Hume Stroud, Suhua Feng, Steve Jacobsen at UCLA). Whole genome expression maps of rice were generated using mRNA-seq and smRNA (Stacey Simon, Blake Meyers at Univ of Delaware).

Epigenetic regulation and transcriptional repression by Tet1 in the early post-implantation mouse embryo: WG Bisulfite sequencing

Project description:The mammalian TET dioxygenases contribute to global waves of DNA demethylation in the zygote and in primordial germ cells, but their involvement during de novo DNA methylation at peri/post-implantation development is unknown. Here, we show novel physiological functions of Tet1 in the pre-primitive streak stage mouse embryo, where it is expressed not only in the primed-state epiblast, but also in the extra-embryonic ectoderm. In the epiblast, Tet1 contributes to DNA methylation patterning, which indirectly results in dominant transcriptional repression involving a Jumonji-family gene Jmjd8. In the extra-embryonic ectoderm, Tet1 suppresses expression of metabolic genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. These lineage-specific gene repressive functions, involving distinct modes of regulation by DNA methylation, counteract precocious differentiation of the embryo prior to the onset of gastrulation. Such dysregulation in the absence of Tet1 are surprisingly tolerated in an inbred strain but results in full embryonic lethality in non-inbred mice, thus implicating a complex but essential role of Tet1 in normal gestational development. This dataset includes the WGBS/oxWGBS: Methylation and hydroxymethylation profiling of epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs) in presence or absence of TET1. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing and oxidative whole genome bisulfite sequencing were performed on two wt EpiLCs (male) and two TET1 knock-out EpiLCs (one male and one female).

Project description:Migration is essential for the reproduction and survival of many animals, yet little is understood about its underlying molecular mechanisms. We used the salmonid Oncorhynchus mykiss to gain mechanistic insight into smoltification, which is a morphological, physiological, and behavioral transition undertaken by some juveniles that culminates in a seaward migration. This species is experimentally tractable and, unlike common model species, displays intra- and inter-population variation in migration propensity. Migratory individuals can produce non-migratory progeny and vice versa, indicating a high degree of phenotypic plasticity. One potential way that phenotypic plasticity might be linked to variation in migration-related life history tactics is through epigenetic regulation of gene expression. To explore this, we quantitatively measured genome-scale DNA methylation in fin tissue using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing of F2 siblings produced from a cross between steelhead (migratory) and rainbow trout (non-migratory) lines. We identified 57 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between smolt and resident O. mykiss juveniles. DMRs were of high magnitude, ranging from 20-62% differential methylation between life history types, and over half of the gene-associated DMRs were in transcriptional regulatory regions. Many of the DMRs encode proteins with activity relevant to migration-related transitions (e.g. circadian rhythm pathway, nervous system development, protein kinase activity). This study provides the first evidence of a relationship between epigenetic variation and life history divergence associated with a migration-related transition in any species. Comparing global DNA methyldation profiles (via RRBS) of resident and smolt O. mykiss siblings using caudal fin tissue.
