Project description:We mapped Tetrahymena macronuclear replication origins on a genome-wide scale using Okazaki fragments sequencing (OK-seq). OK-seq permits a high-resolution, quantitative analysis of replication fork initiation on a genome-wide scale that is dependent on the depth of coverage within a population of molecules. Replication initiation sites of the TXR1 (Histone H3 K27 monomethyltranferase) deletion strain were also studied compare to wild type using OK-seq.

Project description:The ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena undergoes extensive programmed DNA elimination when the germline micronucleus produces the new macronucleus during sexual reproduction. DNA elimination is epigenetically controlled by DNA sequences of the parental macronuclear genome, and this epigenetic regulation is mediated by small RNAs (scnRNAs) of approximately 28-30 nucleotides that are produced and function by an RNAi-related mechanism. Here, we examine scnRNA production and turnover by deep sequencing. scnRNAs are produced exclusively from the micronucleus and non-homogeneously from a variety of chromosomal locations. scnRNAs are preferentially derived from the eliminated sequences, and this preference is mainly determined at the level of transcription. Despite this bias, a significant fraction of scnRNAs is also derived from the macronuclear-destined sequences, and these scnRNAs are degraded during the course of sexual reproduction. These results indicate that the pattern of DNA elimination in the new macronucleus is shaped by the biased transcription in the micronucleus and by the selective degradation of scnRNAs in the parental macronucleus.

Project description:During macronuclear development the five germline chromosomes undergo massive rearrangement, and the entire epigenome is remodeled from an obligate heterochromatic to obligate euchromatic state. The ~180 unique macronuclear chromosomes undergo two development waves of endo-reduplication to achieve a final copy number of ~45C, while the 21 kb rDNA minichromosome is amplified to ~9000C. The first period (endoreplication phase I) involves two rounds of DNA replication and generates an 8 C macronucleus (6–18 h after mating). Upon re-feeding, a second re-replication period (endoreplication phase II) is initiated generating a macronuclear DNA content of 32–64 C. This study focused on RNA expression profile of cell in endoreplication phase II.

Project description:The replication of eukaryotic genomes is highly stochastic, making it difficult to determine the replication dynamics of individual molecules with existing methods. We now report a sequencing method for the measurement of replication fork movement on single molecules by Detecting Nucleotide Analogue signal currents on extremely long nanopore traces (D‑NAscent). Using this method, we detect BrdU incorporated by Saccharomyces cerevisiae to reveal, at a genomic scale and on single molecules, the DNA sequences replicated during a pulse labelling period. Under conditions of limiting BrdU concentration, D-NAscent detects the differences in BrdU incorporation frequency across individual molecules to reveal the location of active replication origins, fork direction, termination sites, and fork pausing/stalling events. We used sequencing reads of 20-160 kb, to generate the first whole genome single-molecule map of DNA replication dynamics and discover a new class of low frequency stochastic origins in budding yeast.

Project description:A conserved hallmark of eukaryotic chromatin architecture is the distinctive array of well-positioned nucleosomes downstream of transcription start sites (TSS). Recent studies indicate that trans-acting factors establish this stereotypical array. Here, we present the first genome-wide in vitro and in vivo nucleosome maps for the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila. In contrast with previous studies in yeast, we find that the stereotypical nucleosome array is preserved in the in vitro reconstituted map, which is governed only by the DNA sequence preferences of nucleosomes. Remarkably, this average in vitro pattern arises from subsets of nucleosomes, rather than the whole array, being present in individual Tetrahymena genes. Variation in GC content contributes to the positioning of these sequence-directed nucleosomes, and affects codon usage and amino acid composition in genes. We propose that these ‘seed’ nucleosomes may aid the AT-rich Tetrahymena genome – which is intrinsically unfavorable for nucleosome formation – in establishing nucleosome arrays in vivo in concert with trans-acting factors, while minimizing changes to the coding sequences they are embedded within. All data are from the macronuclear genome.

Project description:The identification of sites of DNA replication initiation in mammalian cells has been challenging. Here, we present unbiased detection of replication initiation events in human cells using BrdU incorporation and single-molecule nanopore sequencing. Increases in BrdU incorporation allow us to measure DNA replication dynamics, including identification of replication initiation, fork direction and termination on individual nanopore sequencing reads. Importantly, initiation and termination events are identified on single-molecules with high resolution, throughout S-phase and across the human genome. We find a significant enrichment of initiation sites within the broad initiation zones identified by population level studies. However, these focused sites only account for ~20% of all identified replication initiation events. Most initiation events are dispersed throughout the genome and are missed by cell population approaches. This indicates that most initiation occurs at sites that, individually, are rarely used. These dispersed initiation sites contrast with the focused sites identified by population studies, in that they do not show a strong relationship to transcription or a particular epigenetic signature. Therefore, single-molecule sequencing enables unbiased detection and characterisation of DNA replication initiation events, including the numerous dispersed initiation events that replicate most of the human genome.
