Project description:Genomic imprinting is a form of epigenetic regulation that results in expression of either the maternally or paternally inherited allele of a subset of genes. Imprinted loci contain differentially methylated regions (DMRs) where cytosine methylation marks one of the parental alleles, providing cis-acting regulatory elements that influence the allelic expression of surrounding genes, however to date the total number of imprinted loci within the human genome is unknown. To characterize known imprinted DMRS and identify novel imprinted loci we have performed whole-genome bisulphite sequencing and high-resolution DNA methylation array analysis of healthy tissues.

Project description:Utilizing reciprocal genome-wide uniparental disomy samples presenting with Beckwith-Wiedemann and Silver-Russell syndrome-like phenotypes, we have analyzed ~0.1% of CpG dinucleotides present in the human genome for imprinted differentially methylated regions (DMRs) using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChip microarray. This approach identified 15 imprinted DMRs associated with previously characterized imprinted domains, and confirmed the maternal methylation of the RB1 DMR. In addition, we discovered two novel DMRs: a maternally methylated region overlapping the FAM50B promoter CpG island, which results in paternal expression of this retrotransposon, and a paternally methylated region located between maternally expressed ZNF597 and NAT15 genes. We analyzed reciprocal genome-wide uniparental disomy samples (one maternal UPD and three paternal UPD samples) and six different normal somatic tissues derived from the three germinal layers (lymphocytes, buccal cells, placenta, brain, muscle, and fat) .

Project description:Many questions about the regulation, functional specialization, computational prediction, and evolution of genomic imprinting would be better addressed by having an exhaustive genome-wide catalog of genes that display parent-of-origin differential expression. As a first-pass scan for novel imprinted genes, we performed mRNA-seq experiments on E17.5 mouse placenta cDNA samples from reciprocal cross F1 progeny of AKR and PWD mouse strains, and quantified the allele-specific expression and the degree of parent-of-origin effect transcriptome-wide. We confirmed the imprinting status of 23 known imprinted genes in the placenta, and found that 12 genes reported previously to be imprinted in other tissues are also imprinted in mouse placenta. Through a well-replicated design using an orthogonal technology, we verified five novel imprinted genes that are not known to be imprinted in mouse. It appears that most of the strongly imprinted genes have already been identified, at least in the placenta, and that evidence supports perhaps 100 additional weakly imprinted genes. Despite previous appearance that the placenta tends to display an excess of maternally-expressed imprinted genes, when the full set of genes is uniformly scored as in this study, this maternal bias disappeared. Examine allelic expression in E17.5 placenta tissues from two individual samples, one from each of the two reciprocal crosses.

Project description:The discovery of genomic imprinting through studies of manipulated mouse embryos indicated that the paternal genome has a major influence on placental development. However, previous research has not demonstrated paternal bias in imprinted genes. We applied RNA sequencing to trophoblast tissue from reciprocal hybrids of horse and donkey, where genotypic differences allowed parent-of-origin identification of most expressed genes. Using this approach, we identified a core group of 15 ancient imprinted genes of which 10 were paternally expressed. An additional 78 candidate novel imprinted genes identified by RNA-seq also showed paternal bias. Pyrosequencing was used to confirm the imprinting status of six of the novel genes, including the insulin receptor (INSR), which may play a role in growth regulation with its reciprocally imprinted ligand, histone acetyltransferase (HAT1), the first example of an imprinted gene involved in chromatin modification, and LY6G6C, the first imprinted gene to be identified in the major histocompatibility complex. The 78 novel candidate imprinted genes displayed parent-of-origin expression bias in placenta but not fetus, and most showed less than 100% silencing of the imprinted allele. Some displayed variability in imprinting status among individuals. This results in a unique epigenetic signature for each placenta that contributes to variation in the intrauterine environment and thus presents the opportunity for natural selection to operate on parent-of-origin differential regulation. Taken together, these features highlight the plasticity of imprinting in mammals and the central importance of the placenta as a target tissue for genomic imprinting. Examine allelic expression from four individual samples of invasive trophoblast tissue of the chorionic girdle from gestation day 33 conceptuses of horse, donkey, mule and hinny.

Project description:To understand the evolution of imprinting mechanisms in the rice species Oryza sativa, we analyzed DNA methylation, transcription and small RNA expression in embryo and endosperm. Cultivars chosen to represent the genetic diversity of cultivated Oryza sativa comprised Nipponbare and Kitaake of the japonica subspecies, and IR64 and 93-11 cultivars of the indica subspecies. While imprinted expression is generally conserved among rice cultivars, approximately 10% of imprinted genes show imprinting divergence across the four cultivars. Analyses of DNA methylation and small RNAs revealed that small RNA producing loci are closely associated with genic regions and four times more likely to be imprinted than genes. However, imprinting divergence most often correlated with DNA methylation epimutations. Correlative epialleles were largely stable within subspecies. Small indels and transposable element insertions were found at half of the epimutated loci and associated with imprinting divergence at half of the remaining loci. Correlating epigenetic and genetic variation occurred at key regulatory regions – the promoter and transcription start site of maternally-biased genes, and the promoter and gene body of paternally-biased genes. Our results reinforce models for the role of maternal-specific DNA hypomethylation in imprint formation at both maternally and paternally biased genes, and highlight the role of transposition events and epimutation in rice imprinting evolution.

Project description:Some flowering plant and vertebrate genes are expressed primarily or exclusively from either the maternal or paternal allele, a phenomenon called genomic imprinting. Flowering plant imprinted gene expression has been described primarily in endosperm, a terminal nutritive tissue consumed by the embryo during seed development or after germination. Imprinted expression in Arabidopsis thaliana endosperm is orchestrated by differences in cytosine DNA methylation between the paternal and maternal genomes, as well as by Polycomb group (PcG) proteins. Currently only eleven imprinted Arabidopsis genes are known. Here we use extensive sequencing of cDNA libraries to identify many new paternally and maternally imprinted genes in A. thaliana endosperm, including transcription factors, proteins involved in hormone signaling, and epigenetic regulators. The imprinted status of many maternally-expressed genes is not altered by mutations in the DNA-demethylating glycosylase DEMETER, the DNA methyltransferase MET1 or the core PcG protein FIE, indicating that these genes are regulated by novel mechanisms or deposited from maternal tissues. We did not find any imprinted genes in the embryo. Our results demonstrate that imprinted gene expression, particularly from the maternal genome, is an extensive, mechanistically complex phenomenon that likely affects multiple aspects of seed development.
