  • Genome Sequences of Tropheus Moorii and Petrochromis Trewavasae, Two Eco‑Morphologically Divergent Cichlid Fshes Endemic to Lake Tanganyika C
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genome sequences of Tropheus moorii and Petrochromis trewavasae, two eco‑morphologically divergent cichlid fshes endemic to Lake Tanganyika C. Fischer1,2, S. Koblmüller1, C. Börger1, G. Michelitsch3, S. Trajanoski3, C. Schlötterer4, C. Guelly3, G. G. Thallinger2,5* & C. Sturmbauer1,5* With more than 1000 species, East African cichlid fshes represent the fastest and most species‑rich vertebrate radiation known, providing an ideal model to tackle molecular mechanisms underlying recurrent adaptive diversifcation. We add high‑quality genome reconstructions for two phylogenetic key species of a lineage that diverged about ~ 3–9 million years ago (mya), representing the earliest split of the so‑called modern haplochromines that seeded additional radiations such as those in Lake Malawi and Victoria. Along with the annotated genomes we analysed discriminating genomic features of the study species, each representing an extreme trophic morphology, one being an algae browser and the other an algae grazer. The genomes of Tropheus moorii (TM) and Petrochromis trewavasae (PT) comprise 911 and 918 Mbp with 40,300 and 39,600 predicted genes, respectively. Our DNA sequence data are based on 5 and 6 individuals of TM and PT, and the transcriptomic sequences of one individual per species and sex, respectively. Concerning variation, on average we observed 1 variant per 220 bp (interspecifc), and 1 variant per 2540 bp (PT vs PT)/1561 bp (TM vs TM) (intraspecifc). GO enrichment analysis of gene regions afected by variants revealed several candidates which may infuence phenotype modifcations related to facial and jaw morphology, such as genes belonging to the Hedgehog pathway (SHH, SMO, WNT9A) and the BMP and GLI families.

  • Biallelic Alteration and Dysregulation of the Hippo Pathway in Mucinous Tubular and Spindle Cell Carcinoma of the Kidney

Chinnaiyan 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 7 ABSTRACT Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a relatively rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with distinctive morphologic and cytogenetic fea- tures. Here, we carry out whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing of a multi-institutional cohort of MTSCC (n = 22). We demonstrate the presence of either biallelic loss of Hippo pathway tumor sup- pressor genes (TSG) and/or evidence of alteration of Hippo pathway genes in 85% of samples. PTPN14 (31%) and NF2 (22%) were the most commonly implicated Hippo pathway genes, whereas other genes such as SAV1 and HIPK2 were also involved in a mutually exclusive fashion. Mutations in the context of recurrent chromosomal losses amounted to biallelic alterations in these TSGs. As a readout of Hippo pathway inactivation, a majority of cases (90%) exhibited increased nuclear YAP1 protein expression.

  • Transcriptomic and Epigenomic Characterization of the Developing Bat Wing
    ARTICLES OPEN Transcriptomic and epigenomic characterization of the developing bat wing Walter L Eckalbar1,2,9, Stephen A Schlebusch3,9, Mandy K Mason3, Zoe Gill3, Ash V Parker3, Betty M Booker1,2, Sierra Nishizaki1,2, Christiane Muswamba-Nday3, Elizabeth Terhune4,5, Kimberly A Nevonen4, Nadja Makki1,2, Tara Friedrich2,6, Julia E VanderMeer1,2, Katherine S Pollard2,6,7, Lucia Carbone4,8, Jeff D Wall2,7, Nicola Illing3 & Nadav Ahituv1,2 Bats are the only mammals capable of powered flight, but little is known about the genetic determinants that shape their wings. 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.

  • Genes Associated with the Progression of Neurofibrillary Tangles in Alzheimer’S Disease
    OPEN Citation: Transl Psychiatry (2014) 4, e396; doi:10.1038/tp.2014.35 © 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 2158-3188/14 www.nature.com/tp ORIGINAL ARTICLE Genes associated with the progression of neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer’s disease A Miyashita1,10, H Hatsuta2,10, M Kikuchi3,10, A Nakaya4, Y Saito5, T Tsukie3, N Hara1, S Ogishima6, N Kitamura7, K Akazawa7, A Kakita8, H Takahashi8, S Murayama2, Y Ihara9, T Ikeuchi1, R Kuwano1 and Japanese Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative The spreading of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), intraneuronal aggregates of highly phosphorylated microtubule-associated protein tau, across the human brain is correlated with the cognitive severity of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). To identify genes relevant to NFT expansion defined by the Braak stage, we conducted whole-genome exon array analysis with an exploratory sample set consisting of 213 human post-mortem brain tissue specimens from the entorinal, temporal and frontal cortices of 71 brain-donor subjects: Braak NFT stages 0 (N = 13), I–II (N = 20), III–IV (N = 19) and V–VI (N = 19). We identified eight genes, RELN, PTGS2, MYO5C, TRIL, DCHS2, GRB14, NPAS4 and PHYHD1, associated with the Braak stage. The expression levels of three genes, PHYHD1, MYO5C and GRB14, exhibited reproducible association on real-time quantitative PCR analysis. In another sample set, including control subjects (N = 30), and in patients with late-onset AD (N = 37), dementia with Lewy bodies (N = 17) and Parkinson disease (N = 36), the expression levels of two genes, PHYHD1 and MYO5C, were obviously associated with late-onset AD. Protein–protein interaction network analysis with a public database revealed that PHYHD1 interacts with MYO5C via POT1, and PHYHD1 directly interacts with amyloid beta-peptide 42.

Running title: The Landscape of Human STR Variation 1 Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on September 24, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Abstract Short tandem repeats are among the most polymorphic loci in the human genome. These loci play a role in the etiology of a range of genetic diseases and have been frequently utilized in forensics, population genetics, and genetic genealogy. Despite this plethora of applications, little is known about the variation of most STRs in the human population. Here, we report the largest-scale analysis of human STR variation to date.

To date, research is limited regarding whether disease-causing genes are related to normal craniofacial development in unaffected individuals. The aim of this study is to determine whether common genetic variation in forty selected genes implicated in hypertelorism/telecanthus- related syndromes contribute to normal variation of intercanthal and outer-canthal distances of the orbits.
