Project description:The three-dimensional architecture of the genome affects genomic functions. Multiple genome architectures at different length scales, including chromatin loops, domains, compartments, and regions associated with nuclear lamina and nucleoli, have been discovered. However, how these structures are arranged in the same cell and how they are correlated with each other in different cell types in mammalian tissue are largely unknown. Here, we developed Multiplexed Imaging of Nucleome Architectures that measures multiscale chromatin folding, copy numbers of numerous RNA species, and associations of numerous genomic regions with nuclear lamina, nucleoli and surface of chromosomes in the same, single cells. We applied this method in mouse fetal liver, and identified de novo cell-type-specific chromatin architectures associated with gene expression, as well as chromatin organization principles independent of cell type. Polymer simulation showed that both intra-chromosomal self-associating interactions and extra-chromosomal interactions are necessary to establish the observed organization. Our experiments and modeling provide a multiscale and multi-faceted picture of chromatin folding and nucleome architectures in mammalian tissue and illustrate physical principles for maintaining chromatin organization. Here we submit our bulk RNA-sequencing data on E14.5 mouse fetal liver, used in the study to validate image-based RNA profiling results.
Project description:To gain insight into DIS3 and EXOSC10 function during erythropoiesis, RNA-seq was performed in CD71/Ter119 Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) cells of WT and KO E14.5 fetal liver(S0-S5). Notably, depletion of DIS3 in E14.5 E4/E5 fetal liver cells significantly accumulated noncoding RNAs.
Project description:LTi cells are part of the ILC family and essential for the formation of secondary lymph nodes within the embryo. This data set contains the analysis of lymphoid tissue (LTi) cell ontogeny, studied by expression profile analysis with RNA single cell sequencing of the fetal liver vs. embryonic periphery at embryonic stages E13.5 an E14.5. They indicate a proliferating precursor population mainly in the fetal liver, while the embryonic periphery harbors the definitive lineage.
Project description:Analyses of gene expression by RNA-Seq in mouse E14.5 fetal liver burst-forming unit erythroid (BFU-E) cells untreated or treated by dexamethasone (DEX) with or without PPAR? agonist GW7647. RNA-Seq was performed on enriched populations of mouse BFU-E isolated from E14.5 fetal liver, as well as BFU-E enriched cells treated with Dex ± GW7647.
Project description:To gain insight into ASF1B function during erythropoiesis, RNA-seq was performed in CD71/Ter119 Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) cells of WT and ASF1B KO E14.5 fetal liver(S0-S5) and bone marrow(E1-E4). Notably, depletion of ASF1B in E14.5 E4/E5 fetal liver cells significantly reduced the expression of genes associated with erythroid differentiation. In contrast, depletion of ASF1B in E4 bone marrow cells significantly reduced the expression of genes enriched in chromatin assembly.
Project description:This study analyzes gene expression in beta-thalassemic fetal liver erythroblasts in the Th3 murine model. FACS-purified wild-type, heterozygous, and homozygous stage-matched erythroblasts from E14.5 fetal livers are compared.

FACS-purified wild-type, heterozygous, and homozygous stage-matched erythroblasts from E14.5 fetal livers are compared. We used FACS to purify CD71+Ter119+FSChigh matched populations from E14.5 fetal livers of wild-type, Th3/+, and Th3/Th3 embryos
