In response to the prevailing environmental con- ditions, a single plant genome is capable of generating a wide range of physiological and developmental phenotypes and supporting both competitive and cooperative (facilitative) interactions within plant communities. Phenotypic plasticity and cooperation enabled by facilitative interactions among plants have profound implications for plant evolution and are the subject of intensive study by theoretical and evolu- tionary plant ecologists. However, the mechanisms by which environmental conditions are communicated to the genome and affect transcription, enabling adaptive responses, are poorly understood. In particular, despite increasing evidence of the importance of epigenetic mechanisms in the dynamic interplay between environment and genomes underpinning adaptive plasticity, the link between these mechanisms and external cues remains enigmatic. We assessed the develop- mental, physiological and molecular role of the ‘stress in- ducible’ linker histone H1.3 in the adaptation of Arabidopsis thaliana to combined light limitation and drought and present evidence that H1.3, a member of a subfamily of plant H1 histones conserved in angiosperms but absent in mosses, ferns and gymnosperms, plays a key role in the Arabidopsis response to complex abiotic stresses. Our results give strong support to a notion that structural and cis-regulatory subfunc- tionalization that led to the evolution of ‘stress-inducible’ H1 variants may have helped to promote the rapid radiation of angiosperm plants on Earth.

Many miRNAs were associated with differential gene expression in gliomas, threfore miRNA and mRNA expression was analyzed to find relationship between a level of specific miRNA and regulation of gene expression. Best inverse correlations for astrocytomas (rho < -0.5 and Bonferroni corrected p-value 0.1) were identified and 4 algorithms (miRDB, microT4-CDS, Paccmit, Paccmit-CDS) were used for bioinformatics prediction of the possible target genes of miRNAs. Correlations confirmed by 2 out of 4 algo- rithms were reported. GSEA (gene set enrichment analysis) of Gene Ontology terms for biological function and CGP (chemical and genetic perturbations) enrichment was per- formed to investigate genes that were potentially regulated by miRNAs in gliomas. Results: An integrated analysis of the observed miRNAs and mRNAs resulted in 100 highly correlated miRNA-mR- NA pairs that fulfilled criteria of analysis. Strikingly 60% of them were putative regulations of miRNA-155, which is a very well known oncomir involved in glioblastoma de- velopment. GSEA analysis of putative targets of miRNA in astrocytoma revealed that amongst most enriched GO terms for biological functions ESTABLISHMENT AND OR MAINTENANCE OF CHROMATIN ARCHITEC- TURE and CHROMOSOME ORGANIZATION AND BIOGENESIS were most enriched functional groups. The most GSEA CGP enriched group consisted genes cor- related with a proneural type of glioblastoma multiforme (WHO grade IV). Conclusions: MiRNA-155 could be a key player in astro- cytoma development. Main functional groups of miRNA targets are genes involved in chromosome organization and chromatin architecture. The expression pattern of genes that are putative targets of miRNA in astrocytoma is very similar to the expression patterns of the proneural type of glioblastoma multiforme.

Edited by Dr Toshihiko Shiroishi Received 30 January 2015; Accepted 20 March 2015 Abstract Next-generation sequencing has prompted a surge of discovery of millions of genetic variants from vertebrate genomes. Besides applications in genetic association and linkage studies, a fraction of these variants will have functional consequences. This study describes detection and characteriza- tion of 15 million SNPs from chicken genome with the goal to predict variants with potential function- al implications (pfVars) from both coding and non-coding regions. The study reports: 183K amino acid-altering SNPs of which 48% predicted as evolutionary intolerant, 13K splicing variants, 51K like- ly to alter RNA secondary structures, 500K within most conserved elements and 3K from non-coding RNAs. Regions of local fixation within commercial broiler and layer lines were investigated as poten- tial selective sweeps using genome-wide SNP data.

Coexpression Networks Based on Natural Variation in Human Gene Expression at Baseline and Under Stress Abstract Genes interact in networks to orchestrate cellular processes. Here, we used coexpression networks based on natural variation in gene expression to study the functions and interactions of human genes. We asked how these networks change in response to stress. First, we studied human coexpression networks at baseline. We constructed networks by identifying correlations in expression levels of 8.9 million gene pairs in immortalized B cells from 295 individuals comprising three independent samples. The resulting networks allowed us to infer interactions between biological processes. We used the network to predict the functions of poorly-characterized human genes, and provided some experimental support. Examining genes implicated in disease, we found that IFIH1, a diabetes susceptibility gene, interacts with YES1, which affects glucose transport. Genes predisposing to the same diseases are clustered non-randomly in the network, suggesting that the network may be used to identify candidate genes that influence disease susceptibility.

  • DNA Methylation Signature of Human Hippocampus in Alzheimer's

To characterize the epigenetic molecular basis of the human hippocampus in AD, we profiled genome-wide DNA methylation levels in hippocampal samples from a cohort of pure AD patients and controls by using the Illumina 450K methylation arrays. Results: Up to 118 AD-related differentially methylated positions (DMPs) were identified in the AD hippocampus, and extended mapping of specific regions was obtained by bisulfite cloning sequencing. AD-related DMPs were significantly correlated with phosphorylated tau burden. Functional analysis highlighted that AD-related DMPs were enriched in poised promoters that were not generally maintained in committed neural progenitor cells, as shown by ChiP-qPCR experiments. Interestingly, AD-related DMPs preferentially involved neurodevelopmental and neurogenesis- related genes. Finally, InterPro ontology analysis revealed enrichment in homeobox-containing transcription factors in the set of AD-related DMPs. Conclusions: These results suggest that altered DNA methylation in the AD hippocampus occurs at specific regulatory regions crucial for neural differentiation supporting the notion that adult hippocampal neurogenesis may play a role in AD through epigenetic mechanisms.
