A phased genome of the highly heterozygous 'Texas' almond uncovers patterns of allele-specific expression linked to heterozygous transposon insertions

ABSTRACT: The vast majority of traditional almond varieties are self-incompatible and the level of variability of the species is very high, resulting in a highly heterozygosity genome. Therefore, information on the different haplotypes is particularly relevant to understand the genetic basis of trait variability in this species. However, although reference genomes for several almond varieties exist, none of them is phased and has genome information at the haplotype level. Here we present a phased assembly of genome of the almond cv. Texas. Our analysis shows that the “Texas” genome has a high degree of heterozygosity, both as SNPs, short indels, and structural variants (SV) level. Many of the SVs are due to heterozygous Transposable Element (TE) insertions, and in many cases they also contain genic sequences. In addition to the direct consequences of this genic variability on the presence/absence of genes, our results show that variants located close to genes tend to be associated with allele-specific gene expression (ASE), which highlights the importance of heterozygous SVs in almond.

Genome-wide analysis of Dnmt3L heterozygous and wildtype spermatocytes and spermatids

Project description:Comparison of gene expression differences between Dnmt3L heterozygous and wildtype pachytene spermatocytes, and similarly between Dnmt3L heterozygous and wildtype round spermatids which were isolated from the Dnmt3L knockout mouse line. This array was conducted to address the hypothesis that Dnmt3L heterozygosity results in deregulated gene expression within spermatocytes and spermatids. Results show that Dnmt3L heterozygosity causes numerous genes to be differentially regulated on a genome-wide level, showing that DNMT3L has an important role in regulating gene expression within these male germ cells.

Long Span DNA Paired-End-Tag (DNA-PET) Sequencing Strategy for the Interrogation of Genomic Structural Mutations

Project description:Structural variations (SVs) contribute significantly to the variability of the human genome and extensive genomic rearrangements are a hallmark of cancer. Genomic DNA paired-end-tag (DNA-PET) sequencing is an attractive approach to identify genomic SVs. The current application of PET sequencing with short insert size DNA is insufficient for the comprehensive mapping of SVs in low complexity and repeat-rich genomic regions. We have developed a robust procedure to generate PET sequencing data using large DNA inserts of 10 - 20 kb for the identification of SVs. We compared the characteristics of the large insert libraries with short insert (1 kb) libraries with the same sequencing depths and costs. Although short insert libraries bear an advantage in identifying small deletions, they do not provide a significantly better breakpoint resolution. Large inserts are superior to short inserts in providing higher physical genome coverage and therefore achieve greater sensitivity for the identification of the different types of SVs, including copy number neutral and complex events. Further, large inserts allow the identification of SVs within repetitive sequences which cannot be spanned by short inserts.

Neurofibromatosis type 1-dependent alterations in mouse microglia function are not cell-intrinsic

Project description:We previously discovered a sex-by-genotype defect in microglia function using a germline heterozygous knockout mouse model of Neurofibromatosis type 1 (Nf1+/- mice), in which only microglia from male Nf1+/- mice exhibited defects in purinergic signaling. Herein, we leveraged an unbiased proteomic approach to demonstrate that male, but not female, heterozygous Nf1+/- microglia exhibit differences in protein expression, which largely reflect pathways involved cytoskeletal organization. In keeping with potential defects in cytoskeletal function, only male Nf1+/- microglia had reduced process arborization and surveillance capacity. Next, to determine whether these microglial defects were cell autonomous or reflected adaptive responses to Nf1 heterozygosity in other cells in the brain, we generated conditional microglia Nf1-mutant knockout mice by intercrossing Nf1flox/flox with Cx3cr1-CreER mice (Nf1flox/wt; Cx3cr1-CreER mice, Nf1MG+/- mice). Surprisingly, neither male nor female Nf1MG+/- mouse microglia had impaired process arborization or surveillance capacity. In contrast, when Nf1 heterozygosity was generated in neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes by intercrossing Nf1flox/flox with hGFAP-Cre mice (Nf1flox/wt; hGFAP-Cre mice, Nf1GFAP+/- mice), the microglia defects found in Nf1+/- mice were recapitulated. Collectively, these data reveal that Nf1+/- sexually dimorphic microglia abnormalities are likely not cell-intrinsic properties, but rather reflect a response to Nf1 heterozygosity in other brain cells.

Transcriptome analysis of compatible and incompatible pollen-pistil interactions in almond (Prunus dulcis)

Project description:The cultivated almond exhibits self-incompatibility of the gametophytic type regulated by the S-locus, and expressed in pistil (S-RNase) and in pollen (SFB protein). The aim of this study is to clarify the transcription pattern of these 2 S-genes and to identify additional components of the gametophytic self-incompatibility system in almond. With this aim, A2-198 (self compatible) and ITAP-1 (self incompatible) almond selections were used: RNA-seq of pistils of these two accessions both un-pollinated and pollinated with A2-198 pollen were carried out.

Differential pancreatic islet global gene expression in young heterozygous Men1 mice and wildtype littermates

Project description:Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Tumor Syndrome type 1 (MEN 1) is an autosomal dominant tumor syndrome affecting individuals with a heterozygous germline mutaion of the MEN1 gene. MEN 1 carriers commonly develop parathyroid, anterior pituitary, duodenal and pancreatic endocrine tumors. The phenotype of existing mouse models for the MEN 1 syndrome, with a germline heterozygous (hz) Men1 gene inactivation, show close resemblance to the human MEN 1 syndrome. Menin, the protein encoded for by the MEN1/Men1 gene, lacks homology with known proteins, and evidence of its involvement in different cellular processes is steadily growing. Several interaction partners have been identified, involving different interaction sites on the menin protein. Accumulating evidence suggests a role for menin in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle control, apoptosis, chromatin modification and DNA damage response and repair. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the MEN1 gene precedes tumor formation in the MEN 1 heterozygous pancreas. We set out to determine if there is a change in gene expression early on in the hz islet, as compared with islets in wildtype (wt) littermates, long before the LOH events occur. We performed a global mRNA expression microarray on islets from young, five-week-old, hz Men1 mice and their wt littermates, and we have subsequently corroborated a subset of the findings on the qPCR and protein level. Islets were isolated and RNA prepared from five five-week-old female mice heterozygous for the Men1 gene and five female wildtype littermates, and then a global gene expression microarray was performed.

Heterozygous BRCA1 Deletion, but not Complete BRCA1 Loss, Confers Resistance to Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Prostate Cancer

Project description:BRCA1 is biallelically deleted or mutated in at least 1.9% of prostate tumors, but whether BRCA1 deficiency influences resistance to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and prostate cancer development remains elusive. Here we surprisingly find that in human, BRCA1 heterozygous deletion is observed in approximately 13% of human prostate cancers, is more prevalent in neuroendocrine prostate tumors and predicts worse survival than BRCA1 homozygous deletion. In mice, we show that Brca1 heterozygosity (HET) but not Brca1 full inactivation (KO) accelerates early tumor development, invasion and resistance to ADT in Pten-null prostate tumors. Furthermore, pre-malignant tumors and organoids derived from Brca1 HET mice undergo neuroendocrine differentiation and exhibit elevated levels of the unfolded protein response potentially as a pro-survival mechanism, but not those of Brca1 KO. Our findings thus provide important insights into clinical management of prostate cancer patients, suggesting that patients heterozygous for Brca1 are prone to developing resistance to ADT and should be treated differently from patients with complete Brca1 loss.
