Project description:Only a few scattered groups with oral traditions of Khoe-San hunter-gatherer ancestry remain in southeastern Africa. We investigate genomic variation of remaining individuals from two South African groups with oral histories connecting them to eastern San groups, i.e., the San from Lake Chrissie and the Duma San of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg. Using ~2.2 million genetic markers, combined with comparative published datasets, we show that the Lake Chrissie San have genetic ancestry from both Khoe-San (likely the ||Xegwi San) and Bantu-speakers. Specifically, we found that the Lake Chrissie San are closely related to current southern San groups (i.e. the Karretjie People). Duma San individuals, on the other hand, were genetically similar to southeastern Bantu speakers from South Africa. Samples were genotyped on the Illumina Omni2.5M (HumanOmni25-8v1-2_A1) SNP chip. Results were analyzed using the software GenomeStudio 2011.1 and the data were exported to Plink format, aligned to Human Genome build version 37.

Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of human blood and saliva samples. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation 450k BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 480,000 CpGs in blood and saliva samples provided from 22 persons, and saliva samples from 3 persons.

Project description:The history of click-speaking Khoe-San, and African populations in general, remains poorly understood. We genotyped ~2.3 million SNPs in 220 southern Africans and found that the Khoe-San diverged from other populations at least 100,000 years ago, but structure within the Khoe-San dated back to about 35,000 years ago. Genetic variation in various sub-Saharan populations did not localize the origin of modern humans to a single geographic region within Africa, instead, it indicated a history of admixture and stratification. We found evidence of adaptation targeting muscle function and immune response, potential adaptive introgression of UV-light protection, and selection predating modern human diversification involving skeletal and neurological development. These new findings illustrate the importance of African genomic diversity in understanding human evolutionary history .220 samples were analysed with the Illumina HumanOmni2.5-Quad BeadChip and are described herein.

Project description:In order to investigate age-correlated DNA methylation changes in saliva, genome-wide DNA methylation profiling was performed for saliva from 54 males aged 18 to 73 years. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to acquire DNA methylation profiles across about 450,000 CpGs in bisulfite converted DNA.

Project description:DNA methylation has become increasingly recognized in the etiology of psychiatric disorders. Because brain tissue is not accessible in living humans, epigenetic studies are most often conducted in blood. Saliva is often collected for genotyping studies but is rarely used to examine DNA methylation because the proportion of epithelial cells and leukocytes varies extensively between individuals. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether saliva DNA is informative for studies of psychiatric disorders. Saliva and blood methylation was clearly distinguishable though there was positive correlation overall. There was little correlation in CpG sites within relevant candidate genes. Correlated CpG sites were more likely to occur in areas of low CpG density (i.e. CpG shores and open seas). There was more variability in CpG sites from saliva than blood, which may reflect its heterogeneity. Thus, this study provides a framework for using DNA methylation from saliva and suggests that DNA methylation of saliva may offer distinct opportunities for epidemiological and longitudinal studies of psychiatric traits. DNA methylation was assessed in saliva and blood samples from 64 adult African Americans. Both saliva and blood samples were collected from each participant. Saliva was stored in Oragene DNA sample collection kits (DNA Genotek), and blood was collected in EDTA vacuum tubes. DNA was extracted using the Puregene Genomic DNA kit (Invitrogen). DNA methylation was interrogated for each sample using the HumanMethylation450 BeadChip (Illumina). Analyses for tissue-specific DNA patterns were conducted using linear regression adjusted for appropriate covariates, including estimated cellular proportions. The estimated proportion of epithelial cells in saliva DNA ranged from 3-99% (median 26%). In blood, the estimated proportion of lymphocytes ranged from 25-70% (median 48%) and neutrophils ranged from 42-84% (median 58%). Methylation of 68.8% of all CpG sites differed relative to epithelial cell proportion (FDR<.05). Our results provide a framework for methylation studies in DNA extracted from saliva and highlight the importance of controlling for the proportion of epithelial and leukocyte cells. This presents an attractive opportunity for investigators that have already collected salivary DNA for genetic studies of psychiatric traits.

Project description:The ability to predict tissue type and donor’s age from molecular profiles of crime scene samples has practical implications in forensics. In order to identify body fluid- and age-associated DNA methylation changes, genome-wide DNA methylation profiling was carried out for body fluids including blood, saliva, semen, menstrual blood, and vaginal fluid obtained from individuals aged 20 to 59. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in bisulfite converted DNA. Samples included 12 of each blood, saliva and semen samples from 18 male donors aged 20 to 59, and 3 of each vaginal fluid and menstrual blood samples from 4 female donors in their twenties. Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of body fluids obtained from individuals aged 29 to 41. The Illumina Infinium 450K Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450K CpGs from human body fluids including blood, saliva and semen. Bisulfite converted DNA from the 6 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip
