Project description:Genome-scale DNA methylation data obtained with the Infinium 450k assay. These data were used to support target selection for benchmarking of locus-specific DNA methylation assays
Project description:Alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells function as stem cells in the adult lung and aid in injury-repair. The current study aimed to understand the signaling events that control differentiation of this therapeutically relevant cell type during human development through differentiation of lung progenitor organoids to AT2 cells and benchmarking against primary AT2 organoids.
Project description:Here, we have collapsed multiple analysis problems into two coherent categories, signal detection and signal estimation and adapted linear-optimal solutions from signal processing theory. Our algorithms for detection (DFilter) and estimation (EFilter) extend naturally to integration of multiple datasets. In benchmarking tests, DFilter outperformed assay-specific algorithms at identifying promoters from histone ChIP-seq, binding sites from transcription factor (TF) ChIP-seq and open chromatin regions from DNase- and FAIRE-seq data. EFilter similarly outperformed an existing method for predicting mRNA levels from histone ChIP-seq data (Spearman correlation: 0.81 - 0.89). We performed H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 ChIP-seq on e11.5 mouse forebrain and used DFilter and EFilter to predict promoters and developmental gene expression, uncovering plausible gene targets for SNPs associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. Generated two histone modifiction ChiP-seq in developing embryo mouse forebrain and using them for making bioligical inferences
Project description:We describe an improved individual nucleotide resolution CLIP protocol (iiCLIP), which can be completed within 4 days from UV crosslinking to libraries for sequencing. For benchmarking, we directly compared PTBP1 iiCLIP libraries with the iCLIP2 protocol produced under standardised conditions with 1 million HEK293 cells, and with public eCLIP and iCLIP PTBP1 data. There are 3 PTBP1 iiCLIP libraries, 1 input iiCLIP library and 1 PTBP1 iCLIP2 library produced in this study.
