Project description:Flenniken - Honey bee gene expression microarray experimental design<br>To minimize variability between samples all arrayed bees were obtained from a single brood comb from a naturally mated queen, therefore all the bees were age-matched half-sisters. The bees selected for microarray analysis of virus (Sindbis-eGFP) co-injected with either virus-specific-dsRNA (vs-dsRNA) or non-specific dsRNA (ns-dsRNA) exhibited the reduced virus phenotype that was seen in the majority of the bees assayed. The five representative bees from each condition (v, v+vs-dsRNA, v+ns-dsRNA, dsRNA, and mock/injected with buffer) selected for microarray analysis were free of pre-existing conditions (assessed by APM analysis) (Runckel, Flenniken et al., 2011). To facilitate gene expression comparisons between multiple treatment groups we utilized a reference-design strategy in which each Cy5-labeled experimental sample was hybridized with a standardized Cy3-labeled reference sample. A complex RNA mixture representing hundreds of bees of various ages exposed to difference treatment groups, served as the reference RNA sample.

Project description:Current therapy has turned HIV infection into a chronic condition. Clinically, some patients suffer prematurely from ailments associated with advanced age; however, the relationship between HIV and aging is unclear. Here we have collected a large cohort of HAART treated HIV+ subjects with both recent and chronic infection and recapitulated the shared phenotype of HIV and age. To further understand this signal, we applied validated models of DNA methylation-based biological age to establish a clear link between HIV infection and molecular age advancement. We then show this result to be robust to HIV duration, cellular composition, and general methylome disorder. Finally we show a pattern of hypomethylation in HIV+ individuals at the HLA locus. Together these results lead to a much-needed better understanding of the epigenetic consequences and gerontological aspects of chronic HIV infection. To determine whether HIV is associated with signs of aberrant biological aging, samples of whole blood were collected from HIV-infected, HAART-treated but otherwise healthy non-Hispanic white males (no hepatitis C co-infection, no diabetes, and strict adherence to therapy) and healthy non-Hispanic white male controls. DNA was extracted from whole blood and genome-wide methylation profiles of each sample were determined using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip array. As a validation, a second cohort of subjects was profiled by flow-sorting cells and measuring methylation in pure-cell populations. Data were normalized and controlled for quality using standard techniques. Please note that the following samples were excluded from the data processing by quality control steps; METI-6 METI-7 352_CD4 381_CD4 however, their raw data was provided so that the full pipeline could be reproduced.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of individuals across a large age range. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450k CpGs from human whole blood. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 656 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip

Project description:Posterior amorphous corneal dystrophy (PACD) is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder affecting the cornea and iris. After next-generation sequencing of the family in which linkage analysis identified a chromosomal locus for PACD on 12q21.33 failed to yield a pathogenic mutation, array-based copy number analysis and qPCR detected a deletion on 12q21.33 containing four genes encoding small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs): KERA, LUM, DCN, and EPYC. Two other families with PACD also demonstrated deletion of these SLRPs, which together with murine models of KERA, LUM, and DCN deficiency provide convincing evidence that PACD is caused by haploinsufficiency of these SLRPs. Copy number analysis of 750K SNP and 1.9 non-polymorphic probes present on the Affymetrix CytoScan HD array. Samples were separated by affection status. Eight unaffected and 5 affected samples from across 3 families were analyzed. Analysis was performed using the Affymetrix Chromosome Analysis Suite (ChAS) v.2.0 software.

Project description:By successfully tracking individual maternal food intake and milk investment, we show that offspring gain more milk from their own mother, particularly when partner mothers are unrelated and when offspring born second experience strong competition from older pups. Unrelated partner mothers are less efficient, requiring more energy than sisters to rear communal broods of equivalent mass. Further, while unrelated partners provide more equal (but not proportional) investment in the brood, individual fitness gains from investment are much greater and more equal between sisters. Our results show that cryptic kin discrimination in maternal investment provides a strong selective advantage for the choice of close relatives as communal rearing partners, reducing costs and potential exploitation of effort when partners were closely matched.

Project description:Recessive mutations in RTTN, encoding centrosome associated protein Rotatin, were originally identified as cause of polymicrogyria, a cortical malformation. With time a wide variety of other brain malformations has been ascribed to RTTN mutations, such as primary microcephaly. However, the function of Rotatin is largely unknown and the molecular disease mechanism underlying these malformations has not yet been elucidated. Here, we report four novel families identified by high throughput sequencing, one of them with a novel deep intronic variant. We reviewed RTTN-related disease phenotypes and defined the spectrum which includes intellectual disability (ID), short stature, microcephaly, lissencephaly, periventricular heterotopia, polymicrogyria and other malformations. Rotatin expression, function and cellular disease phenotype were studied in cultured primary skin fibroblasts from eight unrelated affected individuals. We found that Rotatin deficiency leads to abnormal centrosome amplification during mitosis, resulting in multipolar spindle formation, mitotic failure, increased apoptosis and aneuploidy. In non-dividing healthy cells, Rotatin localizes at the primary cilium, both at basal body and axoneme during ciliogenesis. Interestingly, interphase mutant cells show aberrant ciliogenesis. Proteomics analysis reveals that exogenous Rotatin in HEK293 cells interacts with the non-muscle cellular myosin complex (MYH9-MYH10-MYH14), which is essential for nucleokinesis during neuronal migration. In hiPSC-derived neurons, endogenous Rotatin localizes to the leading edge centrosome, which pulls the perinuclear cage during nucleokinesis, suggesting a pivotal role of Rotatin in neuronal migration. This study sheds light on the pleiotropic cellular functions of Rotatin, explaining disease spectrum linked to both neuronal proliferation and migration.

Project description:Heterozygous and homozygous mutations were introduced to the human embryonic stem cell line H9 by using the CRISPR/Cas9-system. Since off-target effects can occur and high numbers of SNVs can be acquired during clonal selection, the generated cell lines and the parental cell line were analyzed by whole-genome sequencing.
