Multi-layer dosage compensation of the avian Z chromosome (bulk RNA-seq)

ABSTRACT: Sex-chromosome dosage compensation represents a challenge for heterogametic species to maintain correct proportion of gene products across chromosomes in each sex. While therian mammals (XX/XY system) achieve near-perfect balance of X-chromosome mRNAs through X-upregulation and X-inactivation, birds (ZZ/ZW system) have been found to lack full compensation at RNA level, challenging the necessity of resolving major gene-dosage discrepancies in avian cells. Through allele-resolved multiome analyses, we comprehensively examined dosage compensation in female (ZW), male (ZZ), and rare intersex (ZZW) chicken. Remarkably, this revealed that females exhibit upregulation of their single Z through increased transcriptional burst frequency, similar to mammalian X-upregulation, and that Z-protein levels are balanced via enhanced translation efficiency in females. Global analyses of transcriptional kinetics elements in birds demonstrates a remarkable conservation of the genomic encoding of burst kinetics between mammals and birds. Our study uncovers new mechanisms for achieving sex-chromosome dosage compensation and highlights the importance of gene-dosage balance across diverse species.

Introducing synthetic thermostable RNase inhibitors in single-cell RNA-seq

Project description:Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) is revolutionizing biomedicine, propelled by advances in methodology, ease of use, and cost reduction of library preparation. Over the past decade, there have been remarkable technical improvements in most aspects of single-cell transcriptomics. Yet, there has been little to no progress in advancing RNase inhibition despite that maintained RNA integrity is critical during cell collection, storage, and cDNA library generation. Here, we demonstrate that a synthetic thermostable RNase inhibitor yield single-cell libraries of equal or superior quality compared to ubiquitously used protein-based recombinant RNase inhibitors (RRIs). Importantly, the synthetic RNase inhibitor provide additional unique improvements in reproducibility and throughput, enable new experimental workflows including heat cycles, and can reduce the need for dry-ice transports. In summary, replacing RRIs represents a substantial advancement in the field of single-cell transcriptomics.

Multi-modal single-cell sequencing of differentiating mESCs using Smart-seq3 and scATAC-seq

Project description:We report dynamics of X-chromosome upregulation (XCU) along X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) in mESCs as they differentiate into EpiSCs. F1 hybrid C57BL6/J × CAST/EiJ male and female mESCs were grown in serum/LIF conditions were differentiated using Fgf2 and Activin A for 1, 2, 4 and 7 days to induce random XCI in female cells. Multi-modal single-cell sequencing was performed using scATAC on nuclei and Smart-seq3 to assay chromatin accessibility and poly-A+ RNA expression, respectively. Allelic resolution is achieved using strain-specific SNPs in the data. We reveal dynamic balancing of X alleles as cells undergo XCI to compensate dosage imbalances between sexes as well as between X and autosomes. Furthermore, we reveal that female naïve mESCs with two active X chromosomes lack XCU on both alleles which has major implications for reprogramming studies. Finally, we estimate allelic transcriptional burst kinetics from the data and find that progressively increased burst frequencies underlies the XCU process.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of differentiating mESCs using Smart-seq3

Project description:We report dynamics of X-chromosome upregulation (XCU) along X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) in mESCs as they differentiate into EpiSCs. F1 hybrid C57BL6/J × CAST/EiJ male and female mESCs were adapted to 2i/LIF and female cells grown in serum/LIF conditions were differentiated using Fgf2 and Activin A for 1, 2, 4 and 7 days to induce random XCI. scRNA-seq was performed using the Smart-seq3 protocol, providing full-length coverage together with molecular counting using UMIs. Allelic resolution is achieved using strain-specific SNPs in the data. We reveal dynamic balancing of X alleles as cells undergo XCI to compensate dosage imbalances between sexes as well as between X and autosomes. Furthermore, we reveal that female naïve mESCs with two active X chromosomes lack XCU on both alleles which has major implications for reprogramming studies.

RNAseq of 6 day old shoots of 6 rice accessions under WL or WL + supplemental FR (far-red) light

Project description:This experiment was designed to uncover the transcriptomic changes that would occur in rice after 24 h of supplemental FR treatment, in an accession dependant manner. To do so, 6 different varieties of rice (IR64, Nipponbare, Luk Takhar, M Blatec, Mudgo, Sabharaj and Zhenshan) were grown in the greenhouse facilities of the Botanical Gardens, Utrecht University, in The Netherlands, in summer and autumn of 2021. After five days in WL (400 µmol m-2 s-1 of combined sunlight and artificial light), the treatment group was exposed to supplemental FR (500 µmol m-2 s-1 FR, R:FR of 0.2) light for 24 hours. The whole shoot was sampled, with four plants pooled in one sample. The experiment was repeated four times, resulting in 48 samples (6 varieties x 2 treatments x 4 replicates). Same samples were run on two individual lanes.
