Project description:Anolis carolinensis embryos were collected 0-1 days post egg laying, and total RNA was extracted for RNA-Seq analysis (Illumina Hi-Seq2000). Transcriptome sequence from these stages in the green anole, equivalent to mouse 9.5-10.5 dpc embryos, will help to improve gene annotations in A. carolinensis and provide expression level information for key organogenesis and patterning processes. Anolis carolinensis embryos were collected 0-1 days post egg laying for RNA-Seq analysis. The two embryos collected were at 28 somite-pair (28S) and 38 somite-pair (38S), equivalent to mouse 9.5 dpc and 10.5 dpc embryos, respectively. Total RNA was extracted using the total RNA component of the mirVana (Ambion) kit, RNA-Seq library prep was carried out using the NuGEN Ovation RNA-Seq kit, and sequencing was carried out on an Illumina HiSeq 2000, following the manufacturer's protocol. The untrimmed data was then aligned to the Anolis carolinensis reference genome (Anocar2.0) using tophat.

Project description:In order to study the green anole dosage compensation mechanism we generated strand-specific RNA-seq libraries for a total of 186 samples from the green anole and other representative amniotes (human, mouse, opossum, platypus, chicken and xenopus). Moreover, in order to understand the dosage compensation mechanism of A. carolinensis, we generated ChIP-Seq data for the histone modification H4K16ac and compared levels of acetylation between males and females. Moreover, we reconstructed 7 Y-linked transcripts of Anolis carolinensis based on a male/female subtraction approach and validate these Y sequences using re-sequenced genomes.

Project description:For the purpose of facilitating gene annotation, a transcriptome profile of the developing anole eye was used to identify coding and non-coding regions in the Anolis genome. RNA datasets were generated by collecting samples from three subregions of the anole posterior globe (central, temporal, and nasal) which was comprised of nerual retina, retinal pigmented epithelium, choriod, and scleral tissues. A total of five sample replicates were made. Each replicate incorporated pooled tissues collected from three stage 16.5 developing anole embryos.

Project description:The morphologies of the amniote phallus and limbs differ dramatically, but these structures share signaling pathways and patterns of gene expression in early development. Thus far, the extent to which genital and limb transcriptional networks share cis-regulatory elements has remained unexplored. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation with an antibody against the histone modification mark H3K27ac followed by Illumina high-throughput sequencing, we identify thousands of active enhancers in developing limbs, genital tubercle, and additional embryonic tissues of the mouse and green anole lizard (Anolis carolinensis). We show in global analyses of cis-regulatory activity that embryonic limbs and genitalia display overlapping patterns of enhancer activity, and that many H3K27ac-marked regions are shared between mouse and green anole. Our findings support the hypothesis that the amniote phallus evolved through co-option of a preexisting appendage developmental program.

Project description:Protemics of anolis carolinensis tails undergoing regeneration.
As amniote vertebrates, lizards are the most closely related organisms to humans capable of appendage regeneration. Lizards can autotomize, or release their tails as a means of predator evasion, and subsequently regenerate a functional replacement. Green anoles (Anolis carolinensis) can regenerate their tails through a process that involves differential expression of hundreds of genes, which has previously been analyzed by transcriptomic and microRNA analysis. To investigate protein expression in regenerating tissue, we performed whole proteomic analysis of regenerating tail tip and base. This is the first proteomic data set available for the green anole lizard. We identified 976 proteins only in the regenerating tail base, 796 only in the tail tip, and 874 in both tip and base. For 90% of these proteins in these tissues, we were able to assign a clear orthology to gene models in either the Ensembl or NCBI databases. For 20 proteins in the tail base (2.5%), 7 proteins in the tail tip (0.9%), and 7 proteins in both regions (0.8%), the gene model in Ensembl and NCBI matched an uncharacterized protein, confirming that these predictions are present in the proteome. Ontology and pathways analysis of proteins expressed in the regenerating tail base identified categories including actin filament-based process, ncRNA metabolism, regulation of phosphatase activity, small GTPase mediated signal transduction, and cellular component organization or biogenesis. Analysis of proteins expressed in the tail tip identified categories including regulation of organelle organization, regulation of protein localization, ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolism, small GTPase mediated signal transduction, morphogenesis of epithelium, and regulation of biological quality. These proteomic findings confirm pathways and gene families activated in tail regeneration in the green anole as well as identify uncharacterized proteins whose role in regrowth remains to be revealed.

Project description:This experiment contains the Anolis carolinensis subset of data from the experiment E-GEOD-41338 (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-GEOD-41338/). mRNA profiles of several organs (brain, liver, kidney, heart, skeletal muscle) in multiple vertebrate species (mouse, chicken, lizard, frog, pufferfish) were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq to better understand how species with similar repertoires of protein-coding genes differ so markedly at the phenotypic level.

Project description:This project aims to establish the embryonic anole lung as a model for investigating lung development and more general epithelial morphogenesis by generating a set of single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data from late-stage embryonic lungs taken from brown anoles (Anolis sagrei). The anole lung, with its simple architecture, provides a novel tool for investigating signaling in a less complex respiratory system than the murine lung, and this data set would be a large advance in making this system more widely known and accesible among developmental biologists.

Project description:Delta-like 3 (Dll3) is a divergent ligand and modulator of the Notch signaling pathway only identified so far in mammals. Null mutations of Dll3 disrupt cycling expression of Notch targets Hes1, Hes5, and Lfng, but not of Hes7. Compared with Dll1 or Notch1, the effects of Dll3 mutations are less severe for gene expression in the presomitic mesoderm, yet severe segmentation phenotypes and vertebral defects result in both human and mouse. Reasoning that Dll3 specifically disrupts key regulators of somite cycling, we carried out functional analysis to identify targets accounting for the segmental phenotype. Using microdissected embryonic tissue from somitic and presomitic mesodermal tissue, we identified new genes enriched in these tissues, including Limch1, Rphn2, and A130022J15Rik. Surprisingly, we only identified a small number of genes disrupted by the Dll3 mutation. These include Uncx, a somite gene required for rib and vertebral patterning, and Nrarp, a regulator of Notch/Wnt signaling in zebrafish and a cycling gene in mouse. To determine the effects of Dll3 mutation on Nrarp, we characterized the cycling expression of this gene from early (8.5 dpc) to late (10.5 dpc) somitogenesis. Nrarp displays a distinct pattern of cycling phases when compared to Lfng and Axin2 (a Wnt pathway gene) at 9.5 dpc but appears to be in phase with Lfng by 10.5 dpc. Nrarp cycling appears to require Dll3 but not Lfng modulation. In Dll3 null embryos, Nrarp displayed static patterns. However, in Lfng null embryos, Nrarp appeared static at 8.5 dpc but resumed cycling expression by 9.5 and dynamic expression at 10.5 dpc stages. By contrast, in Wnt3a null embryos, Nrarp expression was completely absent in the presomitic mesoderm. Towards identifying the role of Dll3 in regulating somitogenesis, Nrarp emerges as a potentially important regulator that requires Dll3 but not Lfng for normal function.
