Project description:We show there is minimal genome-wide chromatin rearrangements (as measured by DNA accessibility) during tissue differentiation in C. elegans transgenic expression of E. coli DAM (DNA Adenine Methyltransferase) from tissue-specific promoters followed by mapping of methylated sites using a procedure that captures 20bp sequences flanking methylated sites for Illumina sequencing PD3994 = transgenic line expressing DAM from myo-3 promoter PD3995 = transgenic line expressing DAM from rol-6 promoter PD3997 = transgenic line expressing DAM from vit-2 promoter N2dam = wildtype (N2) line; its genomic DNA was in vitro DAM-methylated parsed = Solexa reads in which linker sequences were successfully parsed out by the authors WS170DAMtags_ALL.txt = the set of all in_silico-generated DAM tags from C. elegans genome version WS170

Project description:Chromatin accessibility, a crucial component of genome regulation, has mostly been studied in homogenous and simple systems, such as isolated cell populations or early development models. Whether it can sensitively be assessed in complex, dynamic systems in vivo remains largely unexplored. In this study, we identify chromatin accessibility changes in a whole organism from embryogenesis to adulthood, using C. elegans as a model. Chromatin accessibility changes between developmental stages are highly reproducible, recapitulate histone modification changes, and reveal key regulatory aspects of the epigenomic landscape throughout organismal development. Even when derived from the chromatin of a whole organism, dynamic regions of chromatin accessibility are capable of identifying novel cell-type- and temporal-specific enhancers, which we functionally validate in vivo. Furthermore, by integrating transcription factor binding motifs into a machine-learning framework, we identify EOR-1 as a potential early regulator of chromatin accessibility changes. Our study provides a unique resource for C. elegans, a system in which the prevalence and importance of enhancers remains poorly characterized, and demonstrates the power of using whole organism chromatin accessibility to identify novel regulatory regions in complex systems.

Project description:An essential step for understanding the transcriptional circuits that control development and physiology is the global identification and characterization of regulatory elements. Here we present the first map of regulatory elements across the development and ageing of an animal, identifying 42,245 elements accessible in at least one C. elegans stage. Based on nuclear transcription profiles, we define 15,918 protein-coding promoters and 17,918 putative enhancers, and find that both types of element can drive orientation-independent transcription. Additionally, hundreds of promoters produce transcripts antisense to protein coding genes, suggesting involvement in a widespread regulatory mechanism. We find that the accessibility of most elements is regulated during development and/or ageing and that patterns of accessibility change are linked to specific developmental or physiological processes. The map and characterization of regulatory elements across C. elegans life provides a platform for understanding how transcription controls development and ageing.
