Mouse Rras2 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Rras2 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Rras2 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Rras2 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_025846 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000055723 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 7. 6 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAA stop codon in exon 6 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000069449). Exon 3~5 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Homozygote and heterozygote null mice are lymphopenic, resulting from diminished homeostatic proliferation and impaired T cell and B cell survival. Mice homozygous for a gene trap insertion exhibit retinal degeneration, and increased total body mass and total body fat. Exon 3 starts from about 32.19% of the coding region. Exon 3~5 covers 54.08% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~8729 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Tandem repeats are found in the dot plot matrix. The gRNA site is selected outside of these tandem repeats. Overview of the Dot Plot (down) Window size: 15 bp Forward Reverse Complement Sequence 12 Note: The 2000 bp section downstream of Exon 5 is aligned with itself to determine if there are tandem repeats. No significant tandem repeat is found in the dot plot matrix. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

Elledge Sida Liao A genetic interaction analysis identifies novel cancer driver modifiers and a combination therapy Abstract A large number of cancer drivers have been identified through tumor sequencing efforts but how they interact and the degree to which they can substitute for each other has not been systematically explored. To comprehensively investigate how cancer drivers genetically interact, I searched for modifiers of EGFR dependency by performing CRISPR, shRNA and expression screens in a non-small cell lung cancer model. I elucidated a broad spectrum of TSGs and OGs that can genetically modify proliferation and survival of cancer cells when EGFR signaling is altered.

Here we generated a genome for Miniopterus natalensis and performed RNA-seq and ChIP-seq (H3K27ac and H3K27me3) analyses on its developing forelimb and hindlimb autopods at sequential embryonic stages to decipher the molecular events that underlie bat wing development. Over 7,000 genes and several long noncoding RNAs, including Tbx5-as1 and Hottip, were differentially expressed between forelimb and hindlimb, and across different stages. ChIP-seq analysis identified thousands of regions that are differentially modified in forelimb and hindlimb. Comparative genomics found 2,796 bat-accelerated regions within H3K27ac peaks, several of which cluster near limb-associated genes. Pathway analyses highlighted multiple ribosomal proteins and known limb patterning signaling pathways as differentially regulated and implicated increased forelimb mesenchymal condensation in differential growth. In combination, our work outlines multiple genetic components that likely contribute to bat wing formation, providing insights into this morphological innovation. The order Chiroptera, commonly known as bats, is the only group of To characterize the genetic differences that underlie divergence in mammals to have evolved the capability of flight.

    Montero‑Bullón et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis (2021) 16:303 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13023‑021‑01934‑x RESEARCH Open Access Integrated in silico MS‑based phosphoproteomics and network enrichment analysis of RASopathy proteins Javier‑Fernando Montero‑Bullón1, Óscar González‑Velasco2, María Isidoro‑García3,4,5,6 and Jesus Lacal3,7* Abstract Background: RASopathies are a group of syndromes showing clinical overlap caused by mutations in genes afect‑ ing the RAS‑MAPK pathway. Consequent disruption on cellular signaling leads and is driven by phosphoproteome remodeling. However, we still lack a comprehensive picture of the diferent key players and altered downstream efectors. Methods: An in silico interactome of RASopathy proteins was generated using pathway enrichment analysis/STRING tool, including identifcation of main hub proteins. We also integrated phosphoproteomic and immunoblotting stud‑ ies using previous published information on RASopathy proteins and their neighbors in the context of RASopathy syndromes. Data from Phosphosite database (www. phosp hosite. org) was collected in order to obtain the potential phosphosites subjected to regulation in the 27 causative RASopathy proteins. We compiled a dataset of dysregulated phosphosites in RASopathies, searched for commonalities between syndromes in harmonized data, and analyzed the role of phosphorylation in the syndromes by the identifcation of key players between the causative RASopathy proteins and the associated interactome. Results: In this study, we provide a curated data set of 27 causative RASopathy genes, identify up to 511 protein– protein associations using pathway enrichment analysis/STRING tool, and identify 12 nodes as main hub proteins. We found that a large group of proteins contain tyrosine residues and their biological processes include but are not limited to the nervous system.

Given the high prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism, identifying disruptors of developmental plasticity represents an essential step for developing strategies for prevention and intervention. Applying a novel computational approach that systematically assessed connections between 436 transcriptional signatures of disease and multiple signatures of neuroplasticity, we identified inflammation as a common pathological process central to a diverse set of diseases predicted to dysregulate Significance Statement During childhood and adolescence, heightened neuroplasticity allows the brain to reorganize and adapt to its environment.

    7th International RASopathies Symposium: Pathways to Understanding – Expanding Knowledge, Enhancing Research and Therapeutic Discovery July 23-25, 2021 VIRTUAL MEETING Chairs Maria Kontaridis, PhD, Masonic Medical Research Institute Amy Roberts, MD, Boston Children’s Hospital Honorary Chairs: Marco Tartaglia, PhD, Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital, and Martin Zenker, MD, Universitätsklinikum Magdeburg SESSION 1: Genes, Pathways and Genocopies Moderator: Katherine A. Rauen MD PhD, UC Davis, CA CDC42, RASA2, FBXW11, ZNF426, YWHAZ, TRAF7: Novel Martin Zenker MD, Institute of Human Genetics, RASopathy genes or not? University Hospital Magdeburg, Germany In this contribution, recently reported new associations of genes / gene variants with RASopathies or RASopathy-like phenotypes are reviewed. Contrary to the title in the agenda, ZNF426 was skipped, for which no explicit assertion has been made to be a RASopathy- associated gene, but instead RALA was included, which has been reported in 2019 as causing a RASopathy-like disorder. Assessment of the genes’ associations to RASopathies considered the number of observations, the quality of phenotypic overlap, the evidence of causality for the variant, the link to the RAS-MAPK pathway, and the experimental evidence for its dysregulation by the mutant proteins. For all six genes, the number of cases reported to have a RASopathy / RASopathy-like disorder is currently too small to establish robust case-level evidence for them to be novel RASopathy genes. For FBXW11and TRAF7, the RASopathy-like phenotype has only been observed in some of the mutation carriers; for CDC42, one specific mutation has been proposed to be associated with a Noonan-like phenotype, while others are not.
