DNA methylation atlas of normal human cell types

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation is a fundamental epigenetic mark that governs chromatin organization, cell identity, and gene expression. Here we describe a human methylome atlas, based on deep whole-genome bisulfite sequencing allowing fragment-level analysis across thousands of unique markers for 39 cell types sorted from 205 healthy tissue samples. Replicates of the same cell-type are >99.5% identical, demonstrating robustness of cell identity programs to genetic variation and environmental perturbation. Unsupervised clustering of the atlas recapitulates key elements of tissue ontogeny, and identifies methylation patterns retained since gastrulation. Loci uniquely unmethylated in an individual cell type often reside in transcriptional enhancers and contain DNA binding sites for tissue-specific transcriptional regulators. Uniquely hyper-methylated loci are rare and are enriched for CpG islands, polycomb targets, and CTCF binding sites, suggesting a novel role in shaping cell type-specific chromatin looping. The atlas provides an essential resource for interpretation of disease-associated genetic variants, and a wealth of potential tissue-specific biomarkers for use in liquid biopsies.

Single cell epigenomics reveals mechanisms of human cortical development

Project description:During mammalian development, chromatin state differences coincide with cellular differentiation and reflect changes in the gene regulatory landscape. In the developing brain, cell fate specification and topographic identity play important roles in defining cell identity and confer selective vulnerabilities to neurodevelopmental disorders. To identify cell type specific chromatin accessibility patterns in the developing human brain, we used a single cell assay for transposase accessibility by sequencing (scATAC-seq) in primary human forebrain tissue samples. We applied unbiased analyses to identify genomic loci that undergo extensive cell type- and brain region-specific changes in accessibility during neurogenesis and an integrative analysis to predict cell type specific candidate regulatory elements. We found that cerebral organoids recapitulate most putative cell type-specific enhancer accessibility patterns but lack many cell type specific open chromatin regions found in vivo. Systematic comparison of chromatin accessibility across brain regions revealed an unexpected diversity among neural progenitor cells in the cerebral cortex and implicate retinoic acid signaling in the specification of prefrontal cortex neuronal lineage identity. Together, our results reveal the important contribution of chromatin state to the emerging patterns of cell type diversity and cell fate specification and provide a blueprint for evaluating the fidelity and robustness of cerebral organoids as a model for cortical development.

Histone-fold domain protein NF-Y promotes chromatin accessibility for cell type-specific master transcription factors [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Cell type-specific master transcription factors (MTFs) play vital roles in defining cell identity and function. However, the roles ubiquitous factors play in the specification of cell identity remain underappreciated. Here we show that all three subunits of the ubiquitous heterotrimeric CCAAT-binding NF-Y complex are required for the maintenance of embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity, and establish NF-Y as a novel component of the core pluripotency network. Genome-wide occupancy and transcriptomic analyses in ESCs and neurons reveal that not only does NF-Y regulate genes with housekeeping functions through cell type-invariant promoter-proximal binding, but also genes required for cell identity by binding to cell type-specific enhancers with MTFs. Mechanistically, NF-Y's distinctive DNA-binding mode promotes MTF binding at enhancers by facilitating a permissive chromatin conformation. Our studies unearth a novel function for NF-Y in promoting chromatin accessibility, and suggest that other proteins with analogous structural and DNA-binding properties may function in similar ways. Genome-wide mapping of NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC subunits of the NF-Y complex in mouse ESCs, and microarray gene expression profiling of control knockdown (KD), NF-YA KD, NF-YB KD, NF-YC KD, and NF-YA/NF-YB/NF-YC triple KD ESCs.

The Fly Cell Atlas: single-cell transcriptomes of the entire adult Drosophila - 10x dataset

Project description:Single-cell technologies have ushered in a new era for Drosophila research, allowing researchers to obtain transcriptomes for all stable cell types and dynamic cell states. Here we present the first release of the adult Fly Cell Atlas (FCA), which includes 580k cells from 15 individually dissected sexed tissues, as well as from the entire head and body. We annotated more than 250 distinct cell types across all tissues. Few cell types were uniquely detected in the entire head and body samples, suggesting high cell-type saturation. We provide an in-depth analysis of gene signatures and transcription factor combinations, as well as sexual dimorphism, across the whole animal. Finally, we studied cell type lineages that are shared between tissues, such as blood cells and muscle cells, allowing the retrieval of rare cell types and tissue- specific subtypes. This atlas provides a valuable resource for the entire Drosophila community as a reference to study genetic perturbations and disease models at single-cell resolution.

ChIP-MS of KAT7, H3K9me3 and H3K4me3 in naive, formative and primed mouse PSCs

Project description:The establishment of cellular identity is driven by transcriptional and epigenetic regulation exerted by the components of the chromatin proteome - the chromatome. However, chromatome composition and its dynamics in functional phases of pluripotency have not been comprehensively analyzed thus limiting our understanding of these processes. To address this problem, we developed an accurate mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic method called Chromatin Aggregation Capture (ChAC) followed by Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) to analyze chromatome reorganizations during the transition from ground to formative and primed pluripotency states. This allowed us to generate a comprehensive atlas of proteomes, chromatomes, and chromatin affinities for the three pluripotency phases, revealing the specific binding and rearrangement of regulatory complexes. The technical advances, the comprehensive chromatome atlas, and the extensive analysis reported here provide a foundation for an in-depth understanding of mechanisms that govern the phased progression of pluripotency and changes of cellular identities in development and disease.

A single-cell atlas of chromatin accessibility in mouse organogenesis

Project description:Recent surveys of mouse organogenesis cell atlas (MOCA) with single cell transcriptomics have uncovered hundreds of cell types, but the cell-type-specific transcriptional regulatory programs responsible for the unique identity and function of each cell type have yet to be elucidated. We applied a four-level combinatorial indexing assay, SPATAC-seq, to profile the chromatin accessibility in >350,000 cells derived from 13 embryos staged between embryonic day (E) 10.5 and 13.5 in a single experiment. The resulting map revealed the status of open chromatin for 844,817 candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) in 33 main cell types and 296 subtypes. By integrating this accessible chromatin atlas with scRNA data of MOCA, we characterized the gene regulatory sequences and transcription factors associated with cell fate commitment, such as unreported role of Nr5a2 and Gata6 in gastrointestinal tract. Finaly, we integrated this atlas with previous scATAC-seq data from mouse embryos at E8.25 and 13 adult mouse tissues to dissect life stage specific gene regulatory programs across different cell types. This rich resource and comprerhensive analysis provide a foundation for expolring gene regulators in mammalian cell differentiation.
