Mouse Plekha8 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Plekha8 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Plekha8 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Plekha8 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001164361 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000005225 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 6. 14 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 14 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000119706). Exon 5~6 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Plekha8 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-3I1 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 5 starts from about 28.2% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 5~6 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 4 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 2436 bp, and the size of intron 6 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 1808 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~1619 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

No significant high GC-content region is found. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

  • Identification of Gene-Oriented Exon Orthology Between Human and Mouse
    Fu and Lin BMC Genomics 2012, 13(Suppl 1):S10 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/13/S1/S10 PROCEEDINGS Open Access Identification of gene-oriented exon orthology between human and mouse Gloria C-L Fu1,2,3, Wen-chang Lin3* From The Tenth Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Conference (APBC 2012) Melbourne, Australia. 17-19 January 2012 Abstract Background: Gene orthology has been well studied in the evolutionary area and is thought to be an important implication to functional genome annotations. As the accumulation of transcriptomic data, alternative splicing is taken into account in the assignments of gene orthologs and the orthology is suggested to be further considered at transcript level. Whether gene or transcript orthology, exons are the basic units that represent the whole gene structure; however, there is no any reported study on how to build exon level orthology in a whole genome scale. Therefore, it is essential to establish a gene-oriented exon orthology dataset. Results: Using a customized pipeline, we first build exon orthologous relationships from assigned gene orthologs pairs in two well-annotated genomes: human and mouse. More than 92% of non-overlapping exons have at least one ortholog between human and mouse and only a small portion of them own more than one ortholog. The exons located in the coding region are more conserved in terms of finding their ortholog counterparts. Within the untranslated region, the 5’ UTR seems to have more diversity than the 3’ UTR according to exon orthology designations. Interestingly, most exons located in the coding region are also conserved in length but this conservation phenomenon dramatically drops down in untranslated regions.

  • Novel Genes Associated with Colorectal Cancer Are Revealed by High Resolution Cytogenetic Analysis in a Patient Specific Manner
    Novel Genes Associated with Colorectal Cancer Are Revealed by High Resolution Cytogenetic Analysis in a Patient Specific Manner Hisham Eldai1., Sathish Periyasamy1., Saeed Al Qarni2, Maha Al Rodayyan2, Sabeena Muhammed Mustafa1, Ahmad Deeb3, Ebthehal Al Sheikh2, Mohammed Afzal Khan4, Mishal Johani5, Zeyad Yousef6, Mohammad Azhar Aziz2*. 1 Bioinformatics, King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 2 Medical Biotechnology, King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 3 Research Office, King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 4 Anatomic pathology, National Guard Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 5 Endoscopy, National Guard Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 6 Surgery, National Guard Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Abstract Genomic abnormalities leading to colorectal cancer (CRC) include somatic events causing copy number aberrations (CNAs) as well as copy neutral manifestations such as loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and uniparental disomy (UPD). We studied the causal effect of these events by analyzing high resolution cytogenetic microarray data of 15 tumor-normal paired samples. We detected 144 genes affected by CNAs. A subset of 91 genes are known to be CRC related yet high GISTIC scores indicate 24 genes on chromosomes 7, 8, 18 and 20 to be strongly relevant. Combining GISTIC ranking with functional analyses and degree of loss/gain we identify three genes in regions of significant loss (ATP8B1, NARS, and ATP5A1) and eight in regions of gain (CTCFL, SPO11, ZNF217, PLEKHA8, HOXA3, GPNMB, IGF2BP3 and PCAT1) as novel in their association with CRC. Pathway and target prediction analysis of CNA affected genes and microRNAs, respectively indicates TGF-b signaling pathway to be involved in causing CRC.

  • 1 the Identification of Colorectal Cancer Susceptibility Genes Using
    The Identification of Colorectal Cancer Susceptibility Genes Using a Cross-Species, Systems Genetics Approach DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Madelyn Margaret Gerber Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Amanda Ewart Toland, PhD, Advisor Joanna Groden, PhD Jeffrey Parvin, MD, PhD Wolfgang Sadee, Dr.rer.nat. 1 Copyright by Madelyn Margaret Gerber 2015 2 Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed and third leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. As much as 35% of risk for developing this disease is due to genetic risk factors. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified ~40 independent common risk variants that contribute to genetic predisposition. However, these variants fail to explain the majority of the genetic component for risk. Identification of additional susceptibility alleles for CRC is critical for developing genetic screening tools capable of predicting individuals at heightened genetic risk. This dissertation describes three projects aimed at uncovering CRC susceptibility genes using a cross-species systems genetics approach. The first project (Chapter 2) involves assessing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at loci that were linked to CRC risk by GWAS for allele-specific somatic copy number gains or losses in human colorectal tumor genomes. We hypothesized that GWAS-identified SNPs exhibit allele-specific copy number changes (termed ‗allele- specific imbalance,‘ or ASI) in the tumor genome of patient specimens in much the same fashion as oncogenes are amplified and tumor suppressors are lost.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Copy number variation-based genome wide association study reveals additional variants Received: 27 March 2015 Accepted: 02 July 2015 contributing to meat quality in Published: 03 August 2015 Swine Ligang Wang1,*, Lingyang Xu1,2,*, Xin Liu1,*, Tian Zhang1, Na Li1,3, El Hamidi Hay2, Yuebo Zhang1, Hua Yan1, Kebin Zhao1, George E Liu2,*, Longchao Zhang1,* & Lixian Wang1,* Pork quality is important both to the meat processing industry and consumers’ purchasing attitude. Copy number variation (CNV) is a burgeoning kind of variants that may influence meat quality. In this study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed between CNVs and meat quality traits in swine. After false discovery rate (FDR) correction, a total of 8 CNVs on 6 chromosomes were identified to be significantly associated with at least one meat quality trait. All of the 8 CNVs were verified by next generation sequencing and six of them were verified by qPCR. Only the haplotype block containing CNV12 is adjacent to significant SNPs associated with meat quality, suggesting the effects of those CNVs were not likely captured by tag SNPs. The DNA dosage and EST expression of CNV12, which overlap with an obesity related gene Netrin-1 (Ntn1), were consistent with Ntn1 RNA expression, suggesting the CNV12 might be involved in the expression regulation of Ntn1 and finally influence meat quality. We concluded that CNVs may contribute to the genetic variations of meat quality beyond SNPs, and several candidate CNVs were worth further exploration. As a global food source, pork has unquestionable significant implications on the livelihood of human beings.

  • Kinetics of the Chromosome 14 Microrna Cluster Ortholog and Its
    Dini et al. BMC Genomics (2018) 19:954 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-018-5341-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Kinetics of the chromosome 14 microRNA cluster ortholog and its potential role during placental development in the pregnant mare Pouya Dini1,2, Peter Daels1, Shavahn C. Loux2, Alejandro Esteller-Vico2, Mariano Carossino2, Kirsten E. Scoggin2 and Barry A. Ball2* Abstract Background: The human chromosome 14 microRNA cluster (C14MC) is a conserved microRNA (miRNA) cluster across eutherian mammals, reported to play an important role in placental development. However, the expression kinetics and function of this cluster in the mammalian placenta are poorly understood. Here, we evaluated the expression kinetics of the equine C24MC, ortholog to the human C14MC, in the chorioallantoic membrane during the course of gestation. Results: We demonstrated that C24MC-associated miRNAs presented a higher expression level during early stages of pregnancy, followed by a decline later in gestation. Evaluation of one member of C24MC (miR-409-3p) by in situ hybridization demonstrated that its cellular localization predominantly involved the chorion and allantoic epithelium and vascular endothelium. Additionally, expression of predicted target transcripts for C24MC-associated miRNAs was evaluated by RNA sequencing. Expression analysis of a subset of predicted mRNA targets showed a negative correlation with C24MC-associated miRNAs expression levels during gestation, suggesting the reciprocal control of these target transcripts by this miRNA cluster. Predicted functional analysis of these target mRNAs indicated enrichment of biological pathways related to embryonic development, endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis. Expression patterns of selected target mRNAs involved in angiogenesis were confirmed by RT-qPCR.
