Project description:We collected whole genome testis expression data from hybrid zone mice. We integrated GWAS mapping of testis expression traits and low testis weight to gain insight into the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility.
Project description:We report a single-cell whole-genome bisulfite sequencing method (scBS-Seq) capable of accurately measuring DNA methylation at up to 36% of CpGs. We observed that ESCs grown in serum/LIF or 2i/LIF both display epigenetic heterogeneity, with M-bM-^@M-^\2i-likeM-bM-^@M-^] cells present in serum cultures. In silico integration of 12 individual MII oocytes datasetsM-BM- recapitulates the whole DNA methylome, making scBS-Seq a versatile tool to explore DNA methylation in rare cells and heterogeneous populations. scBS-Seq has been performed on mouse MII oocytes for technical validation and on mouse ESCs cultured in 2i/LIF and serum/LIF to investage epigenetic heterogeneity
Project description:We collected whole genome testis expression data from hybrid zone mice. We integrated GWAS mapping of testis expression traits and low testis weight to gain insight into the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility. Gene expression was measured in whole testis from males aged 62-86 days. Samples include 190 first generation lab-bred male offspring of wild-caught mice from the Mus musculus musculus - M. m. domesticus hybrid zone.
Project description:Here we describe a method for whole genome bisulfite sequencing in very small cell populations (µWGBS) and in single cells (scWGBS). Our method is optimized for profiling DNA methylation in many samples at low coverage, and we developed a bioinformatic method that uses collections of single-cell methylomes to infer cell state dynamics. Using these technological advances, we studied epigenetic cell state dynamics in three in vitro models of cellular differentiation and pluripotency and identified patterns of epigenetic remodeling and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
Project description:We report a single-cell whole-genome bisulfite sequencing method (scBS-Seq) capable of accurately measuring DNA methylation at up to 36% of CpGs. We observed that ESCs grown in serum/LIF or 2i/LIF both display epigenetic heterogeneity, with “2i-like” cells present in serum cultures. In silico integration of 12 individual MII oocytes datasets recapitulates the whole DNA methylome, making scBS-Seq a versatile tool to explore DNA methylation in rare cells and heterogeneous populations.
