Mouse Gpatch8 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Gpatch8 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Gpatch8 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Gpatch8 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001159492 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000034621 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 11. 8 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 8 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000143842). Exon 4~6 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: Exon 4 starts from about 4.3% of the coding region. Exon 4~6 covers 6.62% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~7409 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

  • Analysis of Trans Esnps Infers Regulatory Network Architecture
    Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anat Kreimer All rights reserved ABSTRACT Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer eSNPs are genetic variants associated with transcript expression levels. The characteristics of such variants highlight their importance and present a unique opportunity for studying gene regulation. eSNPs affect most genes and their cell type specificity can shed light on different processes that are activated in each cell. They can identify functional variants by connecting SNPs that are implicated in disease to a molecular mechanism. Examining eSNPs that are associated with distal genes can provide insights regarding the inference of regulatory networks but also presents challenges due to the high statistical burden of multiple testing. Such association studies allow: simultaneous investigation of many gene expression phenotypes without assuming any prior knowledge and identification of unknown regulators of gene expression while uncovering directionality. This thesis will focus on such distal eSNPs to map regulatory interactions between different loci and expose the architecture of the regulatory network defined by such interactions. We develop novel computational approaches and apply them to genetics-genomics data in human. We go beyond pairwise interactions to define network motifs, including regulatory modules and bi-fan structures, showing them to be prevalent in real data and exposing distinct attributes of such arrangements. We project eSNP associations onto a protein-protein interaction network to expose topological properties of eSNPs and their targets and highlight different modes of distal regulation.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

Abstract Background: An important emerging trend in the analysis of microarray data is to incorporate known pathway information a priori. Expression level "summaries" for pathways, obtained from the expression data for the genes constituting the pathway, permit the inclusion of pathway information, reduce the high dimensionality of microarray data, and have the power to elucidate gene-interaction dependencies which are not already accounted for through known pathway identification. Results: We present a novel method for the analysis of microarray data that identifies joint differential expression in gene-pathway pairs. This method takes advantage of known gene pathway memberships to compute a summary expression level for each pathway as a whole.

However, the volume and the complexity of data from RNA-seq experiments necessitate a scalable, and mathematical analysis based on a robust statistical model. Therefore, it is challenging to design integrated workflow, that incorporates the various analysis procedures. Particularly, the comparative transcriptome analysis is complicated due to several sources of measurement variability and poses numerous statistical challenges. In this research, we performed an integrated transcriptional profiling pipeline, which generates novel reproducible codes to obtain biologically interpretable results. Starting with the annotation of RNA-seq data and quality assessment, we provided a set of codes to serve the quality assessment visualization needed for establishing the RNA-Seq data analysis experiment. Additionally, we performed comprehensive differential gene expression analysis, presenting

  • A Network-Based Approach to Uncover Microrna-Mediated Disease Comorbidities and Potential Pathobiological Implications
    www.nature.com/npjsba ARTICLE OPEN A network-based approach to uncover microRNA-mediated disease comorbidities and potential pathobiological implications Shuting Jin1,9, Xiangxiang Zeng2,9, Jiansong Fang3, Jiawei Lin1, Stephen Y. Chan4, Serpil C. Erzurum5,6 and Feixiong Cheng3,7,8* Disease–disease relationships (e.g., disease comorbidities) play crucial roles in pathobiological manifestations of diseases and personalized approaches to managing those conditions. In this study, we develop a network-based methodology, termed meta- path-based Disease Network (mpDisNet) capturing algorithm, to infer disease–disease relationships by assembling four biological networks: disease–miRNA, miRNA–gene, disease–gene, and the human protein–protein interactome. mpDisNet is a meta-path- based random walk to reconstruct the heterogeneous neighbors of a given node. mpDisNet uses a heterogeneous skip-gram model to solve the network representation of the nodes. We find that mpDisNet reveals high performance in inferring clinically reported disease–disease relationships, outperforming that of traditional gene/miRNA-overlap approaches. In addition, mpDisNet identifies network-based comorbidities for pulmonary diseases driven by underlying miRNA-mediated pathobiological pathways (i.e., hsa-let-7a- or hsa-let-7b-mediated airway epithelial apoptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokine pathways) as derived from the human interactome network analysis. The mpDisNet offers a powerful tool for network-based identification of disease–disease relationships with miRNA-mediated pathobiological pathways. 1234567890():,; npj Systems Biology and Applications (2019) ; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41540-019-0115-25:41 INTRODUCTION or completely pairing with their 3′ UTR region, thereby reducing The manifestation and clinical severity of human disease are the stability of the target miRNA or inhibiting translation to 9 affected by myriad factors, including genetic, epigenetic, lifestyle, downregulate the expression of genes of interest.

David Gladstone Institutes, San Francisco, California, USA 5.Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California, USA Abstract West Nile virus (WNV) is an emerging mosquito-borne flavivirus, related to dengue virus and Zika virus. To gain insight into host pathways involved in WNV infection, we performed a systematic affinity-tag purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS) study to identify 259 WNV- interacting human proteins. RNAi screening revealed 26 genes that both interact with WNV proteins and influence WNV infection. We found that WNV, dengue and Zika virus capsids interact with a conserved subset of proteins that impact infection. These include the exon-junction complex (EJC) recycling factor, PYM1, which is antiviral against all three viruses.

Verheul2, Iris D. Nagtegaal5, Cornelis J.A. Punt8, Bauke Ylstra1,* & Gerrit A. Meijer1,* Response to drug therapy in individual colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is associated with tumour biology. Here we describe the genomic landscape of tumour samples of a homogeneous well-annotated series of patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC) of two phase III clinical trials, CAIRO and CAIRO2. DNA copy number aberrations of 349 patients are determined. Within three treatment arms, 194 chromosomal subregions are associated with progression-free survival (PFS; uncorrected single-test P-values o0.005). These subregions are filtered for effect on messenger RNA expression, using an independent data set from The Cancer Genome Atlas which returned 171 genes. Three chromosomal regions are associated with a significant difference in PFS between treatment arms with or without irinotecan. One of these regions, 6q16.1–q21, correlates in vitro with sensitivity to SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan. This genomic landscape of mCRC reveals a number of DNA copy number aberrations associated with response to drug therapy. 1 Department of Pathology, VU University Medical Center, PO Box 7057, 1007 MB Amsterdam, The Netherlands. 2 Department of Medical Oncology, VU University Medical Center, PO Box 7057, 1007 MB Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

  • Identification and Characterisation of the Underlying Defects in Patients with Inherited Platelet Bleeding Disorders
    Identification and Characterisation of the Underlying Defects in Patients with Inherited Platelet Bleeding Disorders By: Maryam Ahmed Aldossary A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Department of Infection, Immunity & Cardiovascular Disease Submission Date January 2019 Abstract The underlying genetic defects remain unknown in about 50% of inherited platelet bleeding disorders (IPDs). This study investigated the use of whole exome sequencing (WES) to identify candidate gene defects in 34 index cases enrolled in the UK Genotyping and Phenotyping of Platelets study with a history of bleeding, whose platelets demonstrated defects in agonist-induced dense granule secretion or Gi- signalling. WES analysis identified a median of 98 candidate disease-causing variants per index case highlighting the complexity of IPDs. Sixteen variants were in genes that had previously been associated with IPDs, two of which were selected for further characterisation. Two novel FLI1 alterations, predicting p.Arg340Cys/His substitutions in the DNA binding domain of FLI1 were shown to reduce transcriptional activity and nuclear accumulation of FLI1, suggesting that these variants interfere with the regulation of essential megakaryocyte genes by FLI1 and may explain the bleeding tendency in affected patients. Expression of a novel truncated p.Arg430* variant of ETV6 revealed it to be stably expressed, possessing normal repressor activity in HEK 293T cells and a slight reduction in repressor activity in megakaryocytic cells. Further studies are required to confirm the pathogenicity of this variant. To identify novel genes involved in platelet granule biogenesis and secretion, gene expression was examined in megakaryocytic cells before and after knockdown of FLI1, defects in which are associated with platelet granule abnormalities.
