Project description:We used the nanopore Cas9 targeted sequencing (nCATS) strategy to specifically sequence 125 L1HS-containing loci in parallel and measure their DNA methylation levels using nanopore long-read sequencing. Each targeted locus is sequenced at high coverage (~45X) with unambiguously mapped reads spanning the entire L1 element, as well as its flanking sequences over several kilobases. The genome-wide profile of L1 methylation was also assessed by bs-ATLAS-seq in the same cell lines (E-MTAB-10895).
Project description:We present scNanoATAC-seq (Single-cell Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin by Oxford Nanopore Technologies Sequencing), an effective method for simultaneous detection of chromatin accessibility and genetic variation. Long fragments (about 4-5Kb) of single-cell ATAC-seq library were enriched and sequenced by Oxford Nanopore Technologies platform. Ends of long ATAC-seq fragments are regarded as chromatin accessibility signal in downstream analysis.

Project description:To study monocyte and macrophage activation in ANCA-associtated vasculitis (AAV), we performed bulk RNA sequencing of bead-selected monocytes and in vitro cultured monocyte-derived macrophages from AAV patients and healthy controls. Overview patients included for sequencing monocytes: - AAV active disease, n=4, MPO-AAV=4 - AAV remission, n=10, PR3-AAV=5, MPO-AAV=5 - Healthy controls, n=6 Overview patients included for sequencing monocyte-derived macrophages: - AAV active, n=1, PR3-AAV=1 - AAV remission, n=3, PR3-AAV=3 - Healthy controls, n=3
Project description:We used bs-ATLAS-seq to comprehensively map the genomic location and assess the DNA methylation status of human full-length LINE-1 elements (L1) in the genome of 2102Ep cells (E-MTAB-10895). We also achieved targeted nanopore sequencing to assay DNA methylation over a subset of loci (E-MTAB-12247). To further study the link between L1 DNA methylation and expression, we performed, in the same cell line, RNA-seq (E-MTAB-12246), as well as YY1 and H3K4me3 ChIP-seq (this dataset).
Project description:CRISPR-Cas9 delivery by AAV holds promise for gene therapy but faces critical barriers due to its potential immunogenicity and limited payload capacity. Here, we demonstrate genome engineering in postnatal mice using AAV-split-Cas9, a multi-functional platform customizable for genome-editing, transcriptional regulation, and other previously impracticable AAV-CRISPR-Cas9 applications. We identify crucial parameters that impact efficacy and clinical translation of our platform, including viral biodistribution, editing efficiencies in various organs, antigenicity, immunological reactions, and physiological outcomes. These results reveal that AAV-CRISPR-Cas9 evokes host responses with distinct cellular and molecular signatures, but unlike alternative delivery methods, does not induce detectable cellular damage in vivo. Our study provides a foundation for developing effective genome therapeutics mRNA-Seq from muscles (9 samples; 3 mice x 3 conditions) and lymph nodes (9 samples; 3 mice x 3 conditions).
Project description:We have previously developed a modified iteration of a viral chromosome conformation capture (V3C-seq) assay to show that the autonomous parvovirus Minute Virus of Mice (MVM) localizes spatially with cellular sites of DNA damage to establish viral replication centers. Similar V3C-seq assays to map AAV genome localization show that both replicating and non-replicating AAV2 genomes in the absence of helper virus colocalize with cellular sites of DNA damage. The AAV non-structural protein Rep 68/78, when ectopically expressed in the absence of viral infection or during AAV2 infection in the absence of helper proteins also localizes to cellular sites of DNA damage. Strikingly however, recombinant AAV gene therapy vector genomes derived from AAV do not colocalize with AAV and Rep at cellular DDR sites.
Project description:We report ChIP-Seq data for C/EBPa in livers of mice with liver-specific KO (LSKO) of Trib1 as compared to WT controls, or in livers of mice overexpressing C/EBPa via adeno-associated virus (AAV) as compared to controls. 8-10 week old Trib1 flox/flox mice treated with AAV_Null (WT) or AAV_Cre (LSKO); 8-10 week old C57B/6 WT mice treated with AAV_Null or AAV_Cebpa.
Project description:To explore how Mier1 affects liver regeneration, we specifically knocked out Mier1 in mouse liver through adeno-associated virus (AAV). The mice we used were knocked in a Cre-induced Cas9 expression cassette. Through tail vein injection, we delivered the AAV expressing Cre-recombinase under TBG promoter, and sgRNA targeting Mier1 (AAV-Mier1 sgRNA), into the adult Cas9 knockin mice to knock out the Mier1 gene in liver. AAV vectors with no sgRNA inserted (AAV-Cre) were used in control animals. To assess the role of MIER1 in liver regeneration, we performed 70% partial hepatectomy, 3 weeks after AAV injection. We then performed ATAC-seq in Control and Mier1 liver-sepcific knockout mice liver tissues at 0 h and 24 h after PHx to explore the influence of Mier1 on the chromation opening during liver regeneration.
