Supplemental Information
Supplemental information Dissection of the genomic structure of the miR-183/96/182 gene. Previously, we showed that the miR-183/96/182 cluster is an intergenic miRNA cluster, located in a ~60-kb interval between the genes encoding nuclear respiratory factor-1 (Nrf1) and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2H (Ube2h) on mouse chr6qA3.3 (1). To start to uncover the genomic structure of the miR- 183/96/182 gene, we first studied genomic features around miR-183/96/182 in the UCSC genome browser (http://genome.UCSC.edu/), and identified two CpG islands 3.4-6.5 kb 5’ of pre-miR-183, the most 5’ miRNA of the cluster (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1 and Seq. S1). A cDNA clone, AK044220, located at 3.2-4.6 kb 5’ to pre-miR-183, encompasses the second CpG island (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1). We hypothesized that this cDNA clone was derived from 5’ exon(s) of the primary transcript of the miR-183/96/182 gene, as CpG islands are often associated with promoters (2). Supporting this hypothesis, multiple expressed sequences detected by gene-trap clones, including clone D016D06 (3, 4), were co-localized with the cDNA clone AK044220 (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1). Clone D016D06, deposited by the German GeneTrap Consortium (GGTC) (http://tikus.gsf.de) (3, 4), was derived from insertion of a retroviral construct, rFlpROSAβgeo in 129S2 ES cells (Fig. 1A and C). The rFlpROSAβgeo construct carries a promoterless reporter gene, the β−geo cassette - an in-frame fusion of the β-galactosidase and neomycin resistance (Neor) gene (5), with a splicing acceptor (SA) immediately upstream, and a polyA signal downstream of the β−geo cassette (Fig. -

Sexual Dimorphism in Brain Transcriptomes of Amami Spiny Rats (Tokudaia Osimensis): a Rodent Species Where Males Lack the Y Chromosome Madison T
Ortega et al. BMC Genomics (2019) 20:87 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-5426-6 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Sexual dimorphism in brain transcriptomes of Amami spiny rats (Tokudaia osimensis): a rodent species where males lack the Y chromosome Madison T. Ortega1,2, Nathan J. Bivens3, Takamichi Jogahara4, Asato Kuroiwa5, Scott A. Givan1,6,7,8 and Cheryl S. Rosenfeld1,2,8,9* Abstract Background: Brain sexual differentiation is sculpted by precise coordination of steroid hormones during development. Programming of several brain regions in males depends upon aromatase conversion of testosterone to estrogen. However, it is not clear the direct contribution that Y chromosome associated genes, especially sex- determining region Y (Sry), might exert on brain sexual differentiation in therian mammals. Two species of spiny rats: Amami spiny rat (Tokudaia osimensis) and Tokunoshima spiny rat (T. tokunoshimensis) lack a Y chromosome/Sry, and these individuals possess an XO chromosome system in both sexes. Both Tokudaia species are highly endangered. To assess the neural transcriptome profile in male and female Amami spiny rats, RNA was isolated from brain samples of adult male and female spiny rats that had died accidentally and used for RNAseq analyses. Results: RNAseq analyses confirmed that several genes and individual transcripts were differentially expressed between males and females. In males, seminal vesicle secretory protein 5 (Svs5) and cytochrome P450 1B1 (Cyp1b1) genes were significantly elevated compared to females, whereas serine (or cysteine) peptidase inhibitor, clade A, member 3 N (Serpina3n) was upregulated in females. Many individual transcripts elevated in males included those encoding for zinc finger proteins, e.g. -
1 Mutational Heterogeneity in Cancer Akash Kumar a Dissertation
Mutational Heterogeneity in Cancer Akash Kumar A dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 June 5 Reading Committee: Jay Shendure Pete Nelson Mary Claire King Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Genome Sciences 1 University of Washington ABSTRACT Mutational Heterogeneity in Cancer Akash Kumar Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Jay Shendure Department of Genome Sciences Somatic mutation plays a key role in the formation and progression of cancer. Differences in mutation patterns likely explain much of the heterogeneity seen in prognosis and treatment response among patients. Recent advances in massively parallel sequencing have greatly expanded our capability to investigate somatic mutation. Genomic profiling of tumor biopsies could guide the administration of targeted therapeutics on the basis of the tumor’s collection of mutations. Central to the success of this approach is the general applicability of targeted therapies to a patient’s entire tumor burden. This requires a better understanding of the genomic heterogeneity present both within individual tumors (intratumoral) and amongst tumors from the same patient (intrapatient). My dissertation is broadly organized around investigating mutational heterogeneity in cancer. Three projects are discussed in detail: analysis of (1) interpatient and (2) intrapatient heterogeneity in men with disseminated prostate cancer, and (3) investigation of regional intratumoral heterogeneity in -
Sex-Differential DNA Methylation and Associated Regulation Networks in Human Brain Implicated in the Sex-Biased Risks of Psychiatric Disorders

Kopp ● Gina Giase ● Chao Chen ● Chunyu Liu Received: 8 November 2018 / Revised: 18 March 2019 / Accepted: 22 March 2019 © Springer Nature Limited 2019 Abstract Many psychiatric disorders are characterized by a strong sex difference, but the mechanisms behind sex-bias are not fully understood. DNA methylation plays important roles in regulating gene expression, ultimately impacting sexually different characteristics of the human brain. Most previous literature focused on DNA methylation alone without considering the regulatory network and its contribution to sex-bias of psychiatric disorders. Since DNA methylation acts in a complex regulatory network to connect genetic and environmental factors with high-order brain functions, we investigated the 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: regulatory networks associated with different DNA methylation and assessed their contribution to the risks of psychiatric disorders. We compiled data from 1408 postmortem brain samples in 3 collections to identify sex-differentially methylated positions (DMPs) and regions (DMRs). We identified and replicated thousands of DMPs and DMRs. The DMR genes were enriched in neuronal related pathways. We extended the regulatory networks related to sex-differential methylation and psychiatric disorders by integrating methylation quantitative trait loci (meQTLs), gene expression, and protein–protein interaction data. -

Stroke is the leading cause of death in Portugal and the third leading cause of death in the developed world. It is even more disabling than lethal, and the persistent neurological impairment and physical disability caused by stroke have a very high socioeconomic cost. Moreover, the number of affected individuals is expected to increase with the current aging of the population. Stroke is a “brain attack” cutting off vital blood and oxygen to the brain cells and it is a complex disease resulting from environmental and genetic factors. -

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. -
