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.

Their origin and evolution, DNA composition, transcriptional activity, impact on adaptiveness, behavior in meiosis, and transfer to the next generation require intensive investigations using modern methods. Over the past years, new experimental techniques have been applied and helped us gain a deeper insight into the nature of Bs. Here, we consider mammalian Bs, taking into account data on their DNA sequencing, transcriptional activity, positions in nuclei of somatic and meiotic cells, and impact on genome functioning. Comparative cytogenetics of Bs suggests the existence of different mechanisms of their formation and evolution. Due to the long and complicated evolvement of Bs, the similarity of their morphology could be explained by the similar mechanisms involved in their development while the difference between Bs even of the same origin could appear due to their positioning at different stages of their evolution.

    THE GENETIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE DDK SYNDROME: AN EARLY EMBRYONIC LETHAL PHENOTYPE IN THE MOUSE Folami Yetunde Ideraabdullah A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Curriculum in Genetics and Molecular Biology. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Fernando Pardo-Manuel de Villena, PhD Scott Bultman, PhD Beverly Koller, PhD Karen Mohlke, PhD David Threadgill, PhD ABSTRACT Folami Yetunde Ideraabdullah: The Genetic Architecture of the DDK Syndrome: An Early Embryonic Lethal Phenotype in the Mouse (Under the direction of Fernando Pardo-Manuel de Villena) The DDK syndrome is a polar early embryonic lethal phenotype that occurs when DDK females are mated to males of other inbred mouse strains. Lethality is parent of origin dependent and results from an incompatibility between an ooplasmic DDK factor and a non- DDK paternal gene, both of which map to the Ovum mutant (Om) locus on chromosome 11. Here, I utilize naturally occurring genetic variation in classical and wild-derived inbred strains to characterize the genetic architecture of the DDK syndrome. I show that genetic variation among wild-derived strains is uniformly distributed and significantly higher than previously reported for other mammalian species. The high levels of diversity present among laboratory strains suggests that the effective population size of the Mus lineage has been relatively large and constant over a long period of time. Overall, these findings demonstrate that wild- derived inbred strains are a valuable resource for genetic studies. By utilizing this resource in recombination mapping and association mapping experiments, we have reduced the candidate interval for the paternal gene of the DDK syndrome to a 23 kb region encompassing a single gene.

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in

Simple Summary: In this study, we investigated the expression pattern and prognostic significance of the heat shock proteins (HSPs) family members in breast cancer (BC) by using several bioinfor- matics tools and proteomics investigations. Our results demonstrated that, collectively, HSPs were deregulated in BC, acting as both oncogene and onco-suppressor genes. In particular, two different HSP-clusters were significantly associated with a poor or good prognosis. Interestingly, the HSPs deregulation impacted gene expression and miRNAs regulation that, in turn, affected important bio- logical pathways involved in cell cycle, DNA replication, and receptors-mediated signaling. Finally, the proteomic identification of several HSPs members and isoforms revealed much more complexity Citation: Buttacavoli, M.; Di Cara, of HSPs roles in BC and showed that their expression is quite variable among patients.

Abstract Genetic risk factors for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have yet to be fully elucidated. Postzygotic mosaic mutations (PMMs) have been implicated in several neurodevelopmental disorders and overgrowth syndromes. We systematically evaluated PMMs by leveraging whole- exome sequencing data on a large family-based ASD cohort, the Simons Simplex Collection. We found evidence that 11% of published single nucleotide variant (SNV) de novo mutations are potentially PMMs.

  • Characterizing Genomic Duplication in Autism Spectrum Disorder by Edward James Higginbotham a Thesis Submitted in Conformity
    Characterizing Genomic Duplication in Autism Spectrum Disorder by Edward James Higginbotham A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Graduate Department of Molecular Genetics University of Toronto © Copyright by Edward James Higginbotham 2020 i Abstract Characterizing Genomic Duplication in Autism Spectrum Disorder Edward James Higginbotham Master of Science Graduate Department of Molecular Genetics University of Toronto 2020 Duplication, the gain of additional copies of genomic material relative to its ancestral diploid state is yet to achieve full appreciation for its role in human traits and disease. Challenges include accurately genotyping, annotating, and characterizing the properties of duplications, and resolving duplication mechanisms. Whole genome sequencing, in principle, should enable accurate detection of duplications in a single experiment. This thesis makes use of the technology to catalogue disease relevant duplications in the genomes of 2,739 individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who enrolled in the Autism Speaks MSSNG Project. Fine-mapping the breakpoint junctions of 259 ASD-relevant duplications identified 34 (13.1%) variants with complex genomic structures as well as tandem (193/259, 74.5%) and NAHR- mediated (6/259, 2.3%) duplications. As whole genome sequencing-based studies expand in scale and reach, a continued focus on generating high-quality, standardized duplication data will be prerequisite to addressing their associated biological mechanisms. ii Acknowledgements I thank Dr. Stephen Scherer for his leadership par excellence, his generosity, and for giving me a chance. I am grateful for his investment and the opportunities afforded me, from which I have learned and benefited. I would next thank Drs.

To identify tumor in cancer. Six of 21 genes with confirmed germ cell specificity were detected in tumors, indicating that ectopic activation of testis-specific antigens beyond those isolated on the basis of their immunogenicity, genes in cancer is a frequent phenomenon. Most surprisingly one of the representational difference analysis was successfully adopted (14– genes represented lactate dehydrogenase C (LDHC), the germ cell-specific 16). As reported here, we used a combined strategy based on data member of the lactate dehydrogenase family. LDHC escapes from tran- mining and subsequent experimental validation to identify additional scriptional repression, resulting in significant expression levels in virtually germ cell-specific genes activated in cancer.
