Project description:The 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) constitutes a major site of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Sequence elements in the 3'UTR interact with trans-acting regulators such as microRNAs that affect translation and stability. The overall aim is to use a 3'RACE cloning-sequencing stragety to identify the 3'UTRs of C. elegans transcripts and explore their heterogeneity in different developmental stages and tissues.

Project description:p53 and NF-kB are important transcription factors involved in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy and the progression to heart failure/dilatation. We report the genome-wide empirical binding sites co-occupied by the transcription factors in human dilated hearts. p53-NF-kB sequential chromatin immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing were performed using tissues from control and diseased hearts. These data may facilitate the discovery of mechanisms by which transcription factors cooperate in close proximity or a multi-molecular complex at a cis-regulatory element to control gene expression.

Project description:Plant virus infection involves the production of viral small RNAs (vsRNAs) with the potential to associate with distinct Argonaute (AGO)-containing silencing complexes and mediate diverse silencing effects on RNA and chromatin. We used multiplexed, high-throughput pyrosequencing to profile populations of vsRNAs from plants infected with viruses from different genera. Sense and antisense vsRNAs of 20 to 24 nucleotides (nts) spread throughout the entire viral genomes in an overlapping configuration; virtually all genomic nucleotide positions were represented in the dataset. We present evidence to suggest that every genomic position could be a putative cleavage site for vsRNA formation, although viral genomes contain specific regions that serve as preferential sources of vsRNA production. Hotspots for vsRNAs of 21-, 22-, and 24-nt usually coincide in the same genomic regions, indicating similar target affinities among Dicer-like (DCL) enzymes. In the light of our results, the overall contribution of perfectly base paired double-stranded RNA and imperfectly base paired structures within single-stranded RNA to vsRNA formation is discussed. Our census of vsRNAs extends the current view of the distribution and composition of vsRNAs in virus-infected plants, and contributes to define a more comprehensive scenario of vsRNA biogenesis and their regulatory functions in plants Raw data files are available on our FTP site: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/geosup/Series/GSE16996

Project description:Much of posttranscriptional mRNA regulation occurs through cis-acting sequences in mRNA 3´ untranslated regions (UTRs), which interact with specific proteins and ribonucleoprotein complexes that modulate translation, mRNA stability and subcellular localization. Studies in Caenorhabditis elegans have revealed indispensable roles for 3´UTR-mediated gene regulation, yet most C. elegans genes have lacked annotated 3´UTRs. Here we describe a high-throughput method to reliably identify 3´ ends of polyadenylated RNAs. This method, called poly(A)-position profiling by sequencing (3P-Seq), was used to determine the UTRs of C. elegans. Compared to standard methods also recently applied to C. elegans UTRs, 3P-Seq identified 8775 additional UTRs while excluding thousands of shorter UTR isoforms that do not appear to be authentic. Analysis of this expanded and corrected dataset indicated that the high A/U content of C. elegans 3´UTRs facilitated genome compaction, since the elements specifying cleavage and polyadenylation, which are A/U-rich, can more readily emerge in A/U rich regions. Indeed, 30% of the protein-coding genes have mRNAs with alternative, partially overlapping end regions that generate another 10,000 cleavage and polyadenylation sites that had gone largely unnoticed and represent potential evolutionary intermediates of progressive UTR shortening. Moreover, a third of the convergently transcribed genes utilize palindromic arrangements of bidirectional elements to specify UTRs with convergent overlap, which also contributes to genome compaction by eliminating regions between genes. Although nematode 3´UTRs have median length only one-sixth that of mammalian 3´UTRs, they have twice the density of conserved microRNA sites, in part because additional types of seed-complementary sites are preferentially conserved. These findings reveal the influence of cleavage and polyadenylation on the evolution of genome architecture and provide resources for studying posttranscriptional gene regulation. Nine samples (10 sequencing runs) from various mixed and specific stages of wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans and glp-4 mutant adults.

Project description:mRNA therapeutics are revolutionizing the pharmaceutical industry, but methods to optimize the primary sequence for increased expression are still lacking. Here, we design 5’UTRs for efficient mRNA translation using deep learning. We perform polysome profiling of fully or partially randomized 5'UTR libraries in three cell types and find that UTR performance is highly correlated across cell types. We train models on all our datasets and use them to guide the design of high-performing 5’UTRs using gradient descent and generative neural networks. We experimentally test designed 5’UTRs with mRNA encoding megaTALTM gene editing enzymes for two different gene targets and in two different cell lines. We find that the designed 5’UTRs support strong gene editing activity. Editing efficiency is correlated between cell types and gene targets, although the best performing UTR was specific to one cargo and cell type. Our results highlight the potential of model-based sequence design for mRNA therapeutics.

Project description:The mission of expO is to build on the technologies and outcomes of the Human Genome Project to accelerate improved clinical management of cancer patients. IGC's Expression Project for Oncology (expO) seeks to integrate longitudinal clinical annotation with gene expression data for a unique and powerful portrait of human malignancies, providing critical perspective on diagnostic markers, prognostic indicators, and therapeutic targets. The goal of expO and its consortium supporters is to procure tissue samples under standard conditions and perform gene expression analyses on a clinically annotated set of deidentified tumor samples. The tumor data is updated with clinical outcomes and is released into the public domain without intellectual property restriction.
