  • In Silico Prediction of High-Resolution Hi-C Interaction Matrices
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13423-8 OPEN In silico prediction of high-resolution Hi-C interaction matrices Shilu Zhang1, Deborah Chasman 1, Sara Knaack1 & Sushmita Roy1,2* The three-dimensional (3D) organization of the genome plays an important role in gene regulation bringing distal sequence elements in 3D proximity to genes hundreds of kilobases away. Hi-C is a powerful genome-wide technique to study 3D genome organization. Owing to 1234567890():,; experimental costs, high resolution Hi-C datasets are limited to a few cell lines. Computa- tional prediction of Hi-C counts can offer a scalable and inexpensive approach to examine 3D genome organization across multiple cellular contexts. Here we present HiC-Reg, an approach to predict contact counts from one-dimensional regulatory signals. HiC-Reg pre- dictions identify topologically associating domains and significant interactions that are enri- ched for CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) bidirectional motifs and interactions identified from complementary sources. CTCF and chromatin marks, especially repressive and elongation marks, are most important for HiC-Reg’s predictive performance. Taken together, HiC-Reg provides a powerful framework to generate high-resolution profiles of contact counts that can be used to study individual locus level interactions and higher-order organizational units of the genome. 1 Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, 330 North Orchard Street, Madison, WI 53715, USA. 2 Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53715, USA. *email: [email protected] NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | (2019) 10:5449 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13423-8 | www.nature.com/naturecommunications 1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13423-8 he three-dimensional (3D) organization of the genome has Results Temerged as an important component of the gene regulation HiC-Reg for predicting contact count using Random Forests.

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.

First, I want to thank my advisor, Prof. Nouri Neamati, for his guidance, encouragement, and patience. Prof. Neamati instilled an enthusiasm in me for science and drug discovery, while allowing me the space to independently explore complex biochemical problems, and I am grateful for his kind and patient mentorship. I also thank my committee members, Profs. George Garcia, Peter Scott, and Shaomeng Wang, for their patience, guidance, and support throughout my graduate career. I am thankful to them for taking time to meet with me and have thoughtful conversations about medicinal chemistry and science in general. From the Neamati lab, I would like to thank so many. First and foremost, I have to thank Shuzo Tamara for being an incredible, kind, and patient teacher and mentor. Shuzo is one of the hardest workers I know. In addition to a strong work ethic, he taught me pretty much everything I know and laid the foundation for the article published as Chapter 3 of this dissertation. The work published in this dissertation really began with the initial identification of PDI as a target by Shili Xu, and I am grateful for his advice and guidance (from afar!).

Abstract The high mortality rate of gastric cancer (GC) is in part due to the absence of initial disclosure of its biomarkers. The recognition of important genes associated in GC is therefore recommended to advance clinical prognosis, diagnosis and and treatment outcomes. The current investigation used the microarray dataset GSE113255 RNA seq data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to diagnose differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Pathway and gene ontology enrichment analyses were performed, and a proteinprotein interaction network, modules, target genes - miRNA regulatory network and target genes - TF regulatory network were constructed and analyzed. Finally, validation of hub genes was performed. The 1008 DEGs identified consisted of 505 up regulated genes and 503 down regulated genes.

The immune complexes are deposited in the glomerular mesangium, leading to inflammation and loss of renal function, but the complete pathophysiology of the disease is not understood. Using an integrated global transcriptomic and proteomic profiling approach, we investigated the role of the mesangium in the onset and progression of IgAN. Global gene expression was investigated by microarray analysis of the glomerular compartment of renal biopsy specimens from patients with IgAN (n=19) and controls (n=22). Using curated glomerular cell type–specific genes from the published literature, we found differential expression of a much higher percentage of mesangial cell–positive standard genes than podocyte-positive standard genes in IgAN. Principal coordinate analysis of expression data revealed clear separation of patient and control samples on the basis of mesangial but not podocyte cell–positive standard genes.

Depicting gene co-expression networks underlying eQTLs Nathalie Villa-Vialaneix, Laurence Liaubet and Magali SanCristobal Abstract Deciphering the biological mechanisms underlying a list of genes whose expression is under partial genetic control (i.e., having at least one eQTL) may not be as easy as for a list of differential genes. Indeed, no specific phenotype (e.g., health or production phenotype) is linked to the list of transcripts under study. There is a need to find a coherent biological interpretation of a list of genes under (partial) genetic control. We propose a pipeline using appropriate statistical tools to build a co-expression network from the list of genes, then to finely depict the network structure.
