ABSTRACT: B. carinata (maternal parent) was crossed with B. rapa (paternal parent) followed with chromosome doubling, and the trigenomic Brassica allohexaploid was generated Transcriptome
Project description:We explored the transcriptomic changes of synthetic Brassica allohexaploid by comparing to its parents using a high-throughput RNA-Seq method. A total of 35644409 sequence reads were generated, and 32642 genes were aligned from the data. There were 29260, 29060 and 29697 genes identified in Brassica rapa, Brassica carinata, and Brassica allohexaploid, respectively. We screened differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by a standard of two-fold or greater change in expression and false discovery rate (FDR) no more than 0.001. As a result, 7397 DEGs were detected between Brassica hexaploid and its parents. A large proportion of the 3184 DEGs between Brassica hexaploid and its paternal parent B. rapa was involved in biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, plant-pathogen interaction, photosynthesis, and circadian rhythm. Between Brassica hexaploid and its maternal parent B. carinata, 2233 DEGs were screened. A lot of them had functions of plant-pathogen interaction, plant hormone signal transduction, ribosome, limonene and pinene degradation, photosynthesis, and also biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. In addition, we found many transcription factor genes, methyltransferase and methylation genes that showed differential expression between Brassica hexaploid and its parents.

Project description:This dataset provide deep-profiling of the embryonic transcriptome of total RNA at an early developmental stage (2-to-4 cells stage) and at the globular stage in Arabidopsis. Embryos were derived from either a cross between a Landsberg erecta (Ler) maternal parent and a Columbia (Col0) paternal parent or a cross between a kyp-2 Ler maternal parent and a Columbia paternal parent. Embryos were manually dissected ensuring no contamination with maternal seed coat or endosperm.
Project description:RNA was extracted from adult male and adult female Drosophila melanogaster with reversed sex-chromosome parent-of-origin (e.g. maternal-X/paternal-Y vs. paternal-X/maternal-Y)

Project description:RNA was extracted from adult male and adult female Drosophila melanogaster with reversed sex-chromosome parent-of-origin (e.g. maternal-X/paternal-Y vs. paternal-X/maternal-Y) Parent-of-origin effects were assayed in X/Y males, XY/Y males, and XY/X females. Direct comparisons were made between individuals with the same karyotype (e.g. X/Y males or XY/Y males) incorporating dye-swaps.
Project description:Reciprocal crosses of a diploid Arabidopsis with different ploidies results in different endosperm development patterns and phenotype. Typically if the ploidy is higher on the maternal side, there are fewer endosperm cells which cellularize early, and conversely, if the paternal ploidy is higher, there is more number of endosperm cells which cellularize late. Crosses involving diploid and tetraploid Arabidopsis (C24) are viable, whereas crosses involving the diploid and hexaploid, even though exhibit the above mentioned directional trend in endosperm development, abort (Scott et al 1998). The 'maternalised' and 'paternalised' development of endosperm is also observed in crosses involving some Arabidopsis mutants. Mutants in the fis class of genes, e.g. fis1-medea, when crossed with a diploid Arabidopsis (pollen parent) show endosperm development-seed development similar to a diploid (seed parent) crossed with hexaploid pollen parent. Reciprocal crosses of homozygous met1 and diploid Arabidopsis also exhibit reciprocal trends in endosperm development, where a homozygous met1 mutant (seed parent) crossed with diploid is similar in phenotype to a diploid (seed parent) - tetraploid cross. Endosperm development in the reciprocal cross has phenotypic similarity to the tetraploid (seed parent)-diploid cross (Adams et al 2000). We are interested in understanding gene profiles and trends in expression underlying the endosperm development in the interploidy crosses as well as the fis and met1 mutant. 11 samples were used in this experiment.

Project description:To investigate the epigenetic landscape at the interface between mother and fetus, we provide a comprehensive analysis of parent of origin bias in the placenta. Using F1 interspecies hybrids, we sequenced RNA from 23 individual midgestation placentas, five late stage placentas, and two yolk sac samples and then used SNPs to determine whether transcripts were preferentially generated from the maternal or paternal allele. In the placenta, we find 103 genes that show significant and reproducible parent-of-origin bias, of which 78 are novel candidates. Most (96%) show a strong maternal bias which, using multiple models, we demonstrate is not due to maternal decidual contamination. Analysis of the X chromosome also reveals paternal expression of Xist and several genes that escape inactivation, most significantly Rps4x, Fhl1, and Slc38a5. Finally, sequencing individual placentas allowed us to reveal notable expression similarity between littermates. In all, we observe a striking preference for maternal transcription in the midgestation mouse placenta and a dynamic imprinting landscape in extraembryonic tissues, reflecting the complex nature of epigenetic pathways in the placenta. 3'-end Sequencing for Expression Quantification (3SEQ) and SNP Analysis to observe parent-of-origin bias in 28 placental samples at two time points and 2 yolk sac samples
Project description:KDM6A, which regulates gene expression by demethylation of the repressive histone mark H3K27me3, has a higher level in mammalian females than in males because the Kdm6a gene escapes X chromosome inactivation. Here, we report that maternal and paternal alleles of a number of genes throughout the genome are differentially regulated by KDM6A. Knockout of KDM6A in male and female embryonic stem cells derived from F1 hybrid mice results in downregulation of maternal alleles more frequently than paternal alleles. This parent-of-origin preference for regulation of gene expression by KDM6A was observed for subsets of maternally expressed non-imprinted and imprinted genes. By ATAC-seq downregulated genes showed a concomitant loss of chromatin accessibility on maternal but not on paternal alleles. Surprisingly, enrichment in H3K27me3 was observed on downregulated paternal but not maternal alleles. These results suggest parent-of-origin mechanisms of gene regulation by KDM6A, which may be histone demethylation-dependent and -independent.
