Project description:We conducted whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) of Arabidopsis thaliana mutation accumulation (MA) lines under different temperature treatments over sucessive generations, and then we identified the global methylation in each MA line. Our result showed taht DNA methylation was observed more frequently at DNA mutation sites, indicating its contribution to the mutation process at elevated temperatures.

Project description:Recombinant inbred C. elegans mutation accumulation (MA) lines
Project description:A mutation accumulation (MA) study was performed on C3H/HeNRj mice for 15-19 generations. At the end of the experiment, brain and liver tissue were extracted from 200 mice from 20 MA lines, and RNA was extracted from each tissue sample, with sequencing performed to achieve an expected coverage of over 40 million paired-end reads per sample. Additionally, control lines derived from cryopreserved embryos were maintained in parallel to the sequenced MA samples, and 100 mice from 10 control lines were sequenced. See López-Cortegano et al. (in prep) for details.

Project description:This research uses consecutive generations of two independent mutation accumulation (MA) lines in model organism A. thaliana to understand transgenerational stability of epialleles via self-fertilization. With whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, regions of instability were identified and quantified. The vast majority of the methylated genome is stably inherited to offspring and the identified unstable regions do not change frequently between generations. Additionally, an epigenetic cross of two MA lines was created to understand inheritance patterns of epialleles via outcrossing in the absence of genetic variation. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing was used to predict epigenotype of the offspring without single nucleotide polymorphisms. In regions of differential methylation between the parents, about half of regions show predictable inheritance.
