Targeted deletions of large syntenic regions in Arabidopsis thaliana

ABSTRACT: Plant genomes have undergone multiple rounds of whole genome duplication and polyploidy over time. As a result, many plant species, including Arabidopsis thaliana, have numerous retained duplicate blocks or syntenic regions within their genomes, resulting in the retention of paralogous genes. We deleted four large duplicated blocks, ranging from ~115 kb to ~684 kb using Staphylococcus aureus Cas9 (SaCas9) to explore the effects of knocking out these retained blocks in Arabidopsis. Deletions were subsequently verified using whole genome sequencing, which revealed that there were limited off-target effects. The number of deleted genes ranged from 16 to 60, and deleted transposable element (TE) genes ranged from 4 to 112 among the four deleted retained blocks. Two deletion lines showed distinct phenotypes resulting from the loss of many genes, while two other deletions displayed no obvious defects for flowering time or hypocotyl elongation. Moreover, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of the deleted lines revealed that expression compensation was not a general response to the deleted regions. Thus, it is possible to obtain viable plants when deleting large genomic regions that may be redundant or regions that contain non-essential genes. These results demonstrate that large chromosomal deletions can be used as a tool for various genome engineering approaches, such as genome minimization in plants and allele replacement using homology-directed repair mechanisms and other precision editing methods. Targeted deletions of large chromosome fragments will be a valuable tool for research and biotechnology applications.

Detection of genomic deletions in rice by genomic DNA hybridization to oligonucleotide microarrays

Project description:Rice deletion mutants have not been widely used in functional genomics, because the mutated genes are not tagged and therefore, difficult to identify We present a microarray-based approach to identify deleted genomic regions in rice mutants selected from a large collection generated by gamma ray or fast neutron treatment. Our study focuses not only on the utility of this method for forward genetics, but also its potential as a reverse genetics tool through accumulation of hybridization data for a collection of deletion mutants harboring multiple genetic lesions. We demonstrate that hybridization of labeled genomic DNA directly onto the Affymetrix Rice GeneChip® allows rapid localization of deleted regions in rice mutants. Deletions ranged in size from one gene model to ~500 kb and were predicted on all 12 rice chromosomes. The utility of the technique as a tool in forward genetics was demonstrated in combination with an allelic series of mutants to rapidly narrow the genomic region, and eventually identify a candidate gene responsible for a lesion mimic phenotype. We demonstrate the utility of oligonucleotide arrays to discover deleted genes in rice. The density and distribution of deletions suggests the feasibility of a database saturated with deletions across the rice genome. This community resource can continue to grow with further hybridizations, allowing researchers to quickly identify mutants that harbor deletions in candidate genomic regions, for example, regions containing QTL of interest. MS Accepted at BMC Genomics, MS ID : 2798701382204393 Note: 14 of the 16 mutants deposited are reported in the published manuscript (mutants d1137 & g6989 are not discussed).

DNA sequencing to validate random deletions in Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Project description:We present LoxTnSeq, a new methodology to generate and catalogue libraries of genome reduction mutants. LoxTnSeq combines random integration of Lox sites by transposon mutagenesis, and the generation of mutants via cre recombinase, catalogued via deep-sequencing. When LoxTnSeq was applied to the naturally genome reduced bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae, we obtained a mutant pool containing 285 unique deletions. These deletions spanned from >50 bp to 28 Kb, which represent 21% of the total genome. LoxTnSeq also highlighted large regions of non-essential genes that could be removed simultaneously, and other similar regions that could not, providing a guide for future genome reductions.

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.

High-Resolution Genomic Profiling of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Reveals New Recurrent Genomic Alterations

Project description:To identify genomic alterations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), we performed single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-array analysis on 353 samples from previously untreated patients entered on the CLL8 treatment trial. Based on paired-sample analysis (n=147), a mean of 1.8 copy number alterations (CNAs) per case were identified; about 60% of cases carried no CNAs other than those detected by routine fluorescence in-situ hybridization analysis. Copy-neutral loss-of- heterozygosity was detected in 6% of cases, and most frequently found on 13q, 17p and 11q. Minimal deleted regions (MDRs) were refined on 13q14 (deleted in 61% of cases) to the DLEU1 and DLEU2 genes, on 11q22.3 (27%) to ATM, on 2p (gained in 7% of cases) to a 1.9 Mb fragment containing 9 genes, and on 8q24 (5%) to a segment 486 Kb proximal of the MYC locus. 13q deletions exhibited proximal and distal breakpoint cluster regions. Among the most common novel lesions were deletions at 15q15.1 (4%), with the smallest deletion (70.5 Kb) found in the MGA locus; sequence analysis of MGA in 59 samples revealed a truncating mutation in one case lacking a 15q deletion. MNT at 17p13.3, which in addition to MGA and MYC encodes for the network of MAX-interacting proteins, was also found recurrently deleted.

Topologically Associating Domain Boundaries are Required for Normal Genome Function

Project description:Large-scale reaarangements and/or disruption of the three dimensional organization of the mammalian genome has been shown to cause develomental phenotypes. However, the functional requirement of TAD boundaries alone in development and disease remains an outstanding question in the field. Here, we show that TAD boundaries are required for the functional integrity of the genome in vivo. Using systematic genome-wide selection criteria and CRISPR/Cas9 editing, we deleted eight individual TAD boundaries ranging between 11-80 kb in size and investigated the in vivo consequences comprehensively by assessing survival, chromatin interaction data, gene expression and detailed phenotypic characterization. A majority of boundary deletions resulted in altered chromatin interactions, and/or multiple boundary deletions causing reduced embryonic survival or other developmental phenotypes. Our results elucidate the functional requirement of TAD boundary integrity in development and suggest that TAD bondary deletion may be sufficient to cause developmental phenotypes.

Renal Cell Neoplasms Contain Shared Tumor Type-Specific Copy Number Variations

Project description:Copy number variant (CNV) analysis was performed on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) specimens (chromophobe, clear cell, oncocytoma, papillary type 1, papillary type 2) using high resolution arrays (1.85 million probes). RCC samples exhibited diverse genomic changes within and across tumor types ranging from 106 CNV segments in a clear cell specimen to 2238 CNV segments in a papillary type 2 specimen. Despite the genomic heterogeneity, distinct CNV segments were common within each of 4 tumor classifications: chromophobe (7 segments), clear cell (3 segments), oncocytoma (9 segments), and papillary type 2 (2 segments). Shared segments ranged from a 6.1 Kb deletion among oncocytomas to a 208.3 Kb deletion common to chromophobes. Among common tumor type-specific variations, chromophobe, clear cell and oncocytomas comprised exclusively non-coding DNA. No CNV regions were common to papillary type 1 specimens although there were 12 amplifications and 12 deletions in 5 of 6 samples. Three microRNAs and 12 mRNA genes had ≥ 98% of their coding region contained within CNV regions including multiple gene families (chromophobe: amylase 1A, 1B, 1C; oncocytoma: general transcription factor 2H2, 2B, 2C, 2D). Gene deletions involved in histone modification and chromatin remodeling affected individual subtypes (clear cell: SFMBT, SETD2; papillary type 2: BAZ1A) as well as the collective RCC group (KDM4C). The genomic amplifications/deletions identified in each renal tumor type represent potential diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers.

Genome-wide screening for complete genetic loss in PCa by CGH onto cDNA arrays

Project description:We demonstrate that comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH) onto cDNA microarrays may be used to carry out genome-wide screens for regions of genetic loss, including homozygous (complete) deletions that may represent the possible location of tumour suppressor genes in human cancer. Screening of the prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP, PC3 and DU145 allowed the mapping of specific regions where genome copy number appeared altered and led to the identification of two novel regions of complete loss at 17q21.31 (500 kb spanning STAT3) and at 10q23.1 (50-350 kb spanning SFTPA2) in the PC3 cell line. Keywords: Tumour vs normal comparison, array CGH
