Project description:The majority of common genetic risk variants associated with neuropsychiatric disease are non-coding and are thought to exert their effects by disrupting the function of cis regulatory elements (CREs), including promoters and enhancers. Within each cell, chromatin is arranged in specific patterns to expose the repertoire of CREs required for optimal spatiotemporal regulation of gene expression. To further our understanding of the complex mechanisms that modulate transcription in the brain, we utilized frozen postmortem samples to generate the largest human brain and cell type-specific open chromatin dataset to date. Using the Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin followed by sequencing (ATAC-seq), we created maps of chromatin accessibility in 2 cell types (neurons and non-neurons) across 14 distinct brain regions of 5 individuals. Chromatin structure varies markedly by cell type, with neuronal chromatin displaying higher regional variability than that of non-neurons. Among our findings is an open chromatin region (OCR) specific to neurons of the striatum. When placed in the mouse, a human sequence derived from this OCR recapitulates the cell-type and regional expression pattern predicted by our ATAC-seq experiments. Furthermore, differentially accessible chromatin overlaps with the genetic architecture of neuropsychiatric traits and identifies differences in molecular pathways and biological functions. By leveraging transcription factor binding analysis, we identify protein coding and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) with cell-type and brain region specificity. Our data provides a valuable resource to the research community and we provide this human brain chromatin accessibility atlas as an online database “Brain Open Chromatin Atlas (BOCA)” to facilitate interpretation.

Project description:Gene expression and chromatin accessibility are highly interconnected processes. Disentangling one without the other provides an incomplete picture of gene regulation. However, simultaneous measurements of RNA and accessible chromatin are technically challenging, especially when studying complex organs with rare cell-types. Here, we present easySHARE-seq, an elaboration of SHARE-seq, providing simultaneous measurements of ATAC- and RNA-seq within single cells, enabling identification of cell-type specific cis-regulatory elements (CREs). easySHARE-seq retains high scalability, improves RNA-seq data quality while also allowing for flexible study design. Using 19,664 joint profiles from murine liver nuclei, we linked CREs to their target genes and uncovered complex regulation of key genes such as Gata4. We further identify de-novo genes and cis-regulatory elements displaying zonation in Liver sinusoidal epithelial cells (LSECs), a challenging cell type with low mRNA levels, demonstrating the power of multimodal measurements. EasySHARE-seq therefore provides a flexible platform for investigating gene regulation across cell types and scale.

Project description:In mammals, extensive chromatin reorganization is essential for reprogramming terminally committed gametes to a totipotent state during preimplantation development. However, the global chromatin landscape and its dynamics in this period remain unexplored. Here we report a genome-wide map of accessible chromatin in mouse preimplantation embryos using an improved assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) approach with CRISPR/Cas9-assisted mitochondrial DNA depletion. We show that despite extensive parental asymmetry in DNA methylomes, the chromatin accessibility between the parental genomes is globally comparable after major zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Accessible chromatin in early embryos is widely shaped by transposable elements and overlaps extensively with putative cis-regulatory sequences. Unexpectedly, accessible chromatin is also found near the transcription end sites of active genes. By integrating the maps of cis-regulatory elements and single-cell transcriptomes, we construct the regulatory network of early development, which helps to identify the key modulators for lineage specification. Finally, we find that the activities of cis-regulatory elements and their associated open chromatin diminished before major ZGA. Surprisingly, we observed many loci showing non-canonical, large open chromatin domains over the entire transcribed units in minor ZGA, supporting the presence of an unusually permissive chromatin state. Together, these data reveal a unique spatiotemporal chromatin configuration that accompanies early mammalian development. Refer to individual Series

Project description:Cell-to-cell variation is a universal feature of life that impacts a wide range of biological phenomena, from developmental plasticity to tumor heterogeneity. While recent advances have improved our ability to document cellular phenotypic variation the fundamental mechanisms that generate variability from identical DNA sequences remain elusive. Here we reveal the landscape and principles of cellular DNA regulatory variation by developing a robust method for mapping the accessible genome of individual cells via assay of transposase accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq). Single-cell ATAC-seq (scATAC-seq) maps from hundreds of single-cells in aggregate closely resemble accessibility profiles from tens of millions of cells and provides insights into cell-to-cell variation. Accessibility variance is systematically associated with specific trans-factors and cis-elements, and we discover combinations of trans-factors associated with either induction or suppression of cell-to-cell variability. We further identify sets of trans-factors associated with cell-type specific accessibility variance across 6 cell types. Targeted perturbations of cell cycle or transcription factor signaling evoke stimulus-specific changes in this observed variability. The pattern of accessibility variation in cis across the genome recapitulates chromosome topological domains de novo, linking single-cell accessibility variation to three-dimensional genome organization. All together, single-cell analysis of DNA accessibility provides new insight into cellular variation of the “regulome.” Profiles of single cell epigenomes, assayed using scATAC-seq, across 8 cell types and 4 targeted cell manipulations. The complete data set contains a total of 1,632 assayed wells.

Project description:Abstract: Gene expression is controlled by transcription factors (TFs) that bind cognate DNA motifs in cis-regulatory elements (CREs), however, the combinations of motifs that mediate cell type-specific gene regulation are undefined. Chromatin accessibility, TF footprinting, and H3K27ac-dependent DNA looping data were generated to identify 7,531 cell type-specific CREs across 15 normal human cell types. A co-enrichment framework nominated 838 cell type-specific, recurrent heterotypic DNA motif combinations (DMCs), which were functionally validated using massively parallel reporter assays. Compared to their normal counterparts, cancer cells induced DMCs linked to neoplasia-enabling processes that operate in normal cells while also engaging entirely new DMCs. These data identify a cis-regulatory combinatorial DNA motif lexicon for cell type-specific gene regulation in diverse normal and diseased human cells. Purpose: To identify a cis-regulatory combinatorial DNA motif lexicon mediating cell type-specific gene regulation in diverse normal and diseased human cells, matched RNA-seq, chromatin accessibility profiling via ATAC-seq, and enhancer-promoter looping via H3K27ac HiChIP was performed in 15 primary human cell types and 6 human cancer cell lines. Processed and raw data for all cell types can be found in this repository. Squamous cell carcinoma cell line raw and processed data can be found at Jung, et al. "XXX". All biological replicates (n=2) are merged.
