Here in the model industrial microalga <em>Nannochloropsis oceanica</em>, we uncovered an epigenetic regulatory mechanism for CCM via comprehensive, multi-dimensional epigenomic analyses. Our integrated study reveals the complex interplay among histone modifications, dynamic nucleosome positioning, and 3D chromatin structure in regulating gene expression during low CO₂ adaptation, despite minimal DNA methylation. Histone modifications, including lysine acetylation (H3K9ac and H3K27ac), crotonylation (Kcr), and methylation (H3K4me2), were associated with active chromatin states. Significantly altered ChIP-Seq peaks were linked to 43.1% of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Notably, H3K4me2 exhibited a distinct dual-peak profile around the transcription start site (TSS), which is unique among microalgae and plants. Chromatin compartment dynamics were correlated with gene expression and histone modifications, particularly H3K4me2, while differentially positioned nucleosomes were associated with key CCM-related genes and transcription factors. To further elucidate the role of H3K4me2, we knocked out its methyltransferase, resulting in genome-wide H3K4me2 peak shifts, slower growth, and reduced photosynthesis. These changes were accompanied by differential expression of key genes of NoHINT and NoPMA2, whose subsequent deletion and overexpression revealed their subtle yet significant impacts on growth and photosynthetic efficiency under low CO2 conditions, with NoHINT regulating growth and NoPMA2 influencing photosynthesis. Finally, we proposed a comprehensive model for epigenetic regulation of CCM in <em>N. oceanica</em>, which established a foundation for enhancing microalgal productivity through targeted epigenetic modifications.","PeriodicalId":501161,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Genomics","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While costs are decreasing, whole-genome DNA methylation profiling remains prohibitively expensive for most population-scale studies, creating a need for cost-effective, reduced representation approaches (i.e., assays that rely on microarrays, enzyme digests, or sequence capture to target a subset of the genome). Most common whole genome and reduced representation techniques rely on bisulfite conversion, which can damage DNA resulting in DNA loss and sequencing biases. Enzymatic methyl sequencing (EM-seq) was recently proposed to overcome these issues, but thorough benchmarking of EM-seq combined with cost-effective, reduced representation strategies has not yet been performed. To do so, we optimized Targeted Methylation Sequencing protocol (TMS)-which profiles ~4 million CpG sites-for miniaturization, flexibility, and multispecies use at a cost of ~$80. First, we tested modifications to increase throughput and reduce cost, including increasing multiplexing, decreasing DNA input, and using enzymatic rather than mechanical fragmentation to prepare DNA. Second, we compared our optimized TMS protocol to commonly used techniques, specifically the Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip (n=55 paired samples) and whole genome bisulfite sequencing (n=6 paired samples). In both cases, we found strong agreement between technologies (R-squared = 0.97 and 0.99, respectively). Third, we tested the optimized TMS protocol in three non-human primate species (rhesus macaques, geladas, and capuchins). We captured a high percentage (mean=77.1%) of targeted CpG sites and produced methylation level estimates that agreed with those generated from reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (R-squared = 0.98). Finally, we applied our protocol to profile age-associated DNA methylation variation in two subsistence-level populations-the Tsimane of lowland Bolivia and the Orang Asli of Peninsular Malaysia-and found age-methylation patterns that were strikingly similar to those reported in high income cohorts, despite known differences in age-health relationships between lifestyle contexts. Altogether, our optimized TMS protocol will enable cost-effective, population-scale studies of genome-wide DNA methylation levels across human and non-human primate species.","PeriodicalId":501161,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Genomics","volume":"67 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142214116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the genetic differences among parasites from different areas in the Peruvian Amazon, we previously designed SNP barcode panels for <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> (Pv) and <em>P. falciparum</em> (Pf), integrated into AmpliSeq assays, to provide population genetics estimates of malaria parasites. These AmpliSeq assays are ideal for MMS: multiplexing different traits of interest, applicable to many use cases, and high throughput for large numbers of samples. The present study compares the genetic resolution of the SNP barcode panels in the AmpliSeq assays with widely used microsatellite (MS) panels to investigate Amazonian malaria parasites. Malaria samples collected in remote areas of the Peruvian Amazon (51 Pv &amp; 80 Pf samples) were characterized using the Ampliseq assays and MS. Population genetics estimates (complexity of infection, genetic diversity and differentiation, and population structure) were compared using the SNP barcodes (Pv: 40 SNPs &amp; Pf: 28 SNPs) and MS panels (Pv: 16 MS &amp; Pf: 7 MS). The genetic diversity of Pv (expected heterozygosity, He) was similar across the subpopulations for both makers: He_MS = 0.68 – 0.78 (p = 0.23) and He_SNP = 0.36 – 0.38 (p = 0.80). Pairwise genetic differentiation (fixation index, F_ST) was also comparable: F_ST-MS = 0.04 – 0.14 and F_ST-SNP = 0.03 – 0.12 (p = 0.34 – 0.85). No geographic clustering was observed with any panel. In addition, Pf genetic diversity trends (He_MS = 0 – 0.48 p = 0.03 – 1; He_SNP = 0 – 0.09, p = 0.03 – 1) and pairwise FST comparisons (F_ST-MS = 0.14 – 0.65, F_ST-SNP = 0.19 – 0.61, p = 0.24 – 0.83) were concordant between the panels. Similar population structure clustering was observed with both SNP and MS, highlighting one Pf subpopulation in an indigenous community. The SNP barcodes in the Pv AmpliSeq v2 Peru and Pf AmpliSeq v1 Peru assays offer comparable results to MS panels when investigating population genetics in Pv and Pv populations. Therefore, the AmpliSeq assays can efficiently characterize malaria transmission dynamics and population structure and support malaria elimination efforts in Peru.","PeriodicalId":501161,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Genomics","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142214117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, our limited understanding of their functional sequence features prevents the interpretation of enhancer mutations in disease. Here, we determined the functional sensitivity to mutagenesis of human developmental enhancers in vivo. Focusing on seven enhancers active in the developing brain, heart, limb and face, we created over 1700 transgenic mice for over 260 mutagenized enhancer alleles. Systematic mutation of 12-basepair blocks collectively altered each sequence feature in each enhancer at least once. We show that 69% of all blocks are required for normal in vivo activity, with mutations more commonly resulting in loss (60%) than in gain (9%) of function. Using predictive modeling, we annotated critical nucleotides at base-pair resolution. The vast majority of motifs predicted by these machine learning models (88%) coincided with changes to in vivo function, and the models showed considerable sensitivity, identifying 59% of all functional blocks. Taken together, our results reveal that human enhancers contain a high density of sequence features required for their normal in vivo function and provide a rich resource for further exploration of human enhancer logic.","PeriodicalId":501161,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Genomics","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142213863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recurrent mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been identified in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and serve as significant prognostic indicators for their outcomes following allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HCT). However, the biological mechanisms of mtDNA mutations remain unclear. The current study utilizes computational structural genomics to improve our understanding of pathogenic variants in mitochondria-encoded genes. This emerging genomics discipline employs structural models, molecular mechanic calculations, and accelerated molecular dynamic simulations to analyze gene products, focusing on their structures and motions that determine their function. We applied this methodology to perform deep variant phenotyping of entire mitochondria-encoded protein complexes associated with the pathobiology of MDS and their prognosis after HCT. Our results demonstrate that this approach significantly outperforms conventional analytical methods, providing enhanced and more accurate information to support the potential pathogenicity of these variants and better infer their dysfunctional mechanisms. We conclude that the adoption and further expansion of computational structural genomics approaches, as applied to the mitochondrial genome, have the potential to significantly increase our understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the disease. Our study lays a foundation for translating mitochondrial biology into clinical applications, which is of significant mechanistic and biomedical relevance and should be considered in modern biomedical research.","PeriodicalId":501161,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Genomics","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142213865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the early response to injury remains less investigated. Quadriceps tendons, which require prompt surgical treatment, offer a model to investigate this early response. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the early cellular changes in ruptured compared to healthy human quadriceps tendons. Quadriceps tendon samples were collected from patients undergoing tibial shaft fracture repair (healthy) or tendon repair surgery for complete rupture (collected 7-8 days post-injury). Nuclei were isolated for single-nucleus RNA sequencing, and comprehensive transcriptomic analysis was conducted to profile cellular changes. The transcriptomes of 12,808 nuclei were profiled, including 7,268 nuclei from healthy and 5,540 nuclei from ruptured quadriceps tendons, revealing 12 major cell types and several cell subtypes and states. Rupture samples showed increased expression of genes related to extracellular matrix organisation and cell cycle signalling, and a decrease in expression of genes in lipid metabolism pathways. These changes were driven predominantly by gene expression changes in the fibroblast, vascular endothelial cells (VECs), mural cell, and macrophage populations: fibroblasts shift to an activated phenotype upon rupture and there is an increase in proportion of capillary and dividing VECs, suggesting an angiogenic response. A diverse immune environment was observed, with a shift from homeostatic to activated macrophages following rupture. Cell-cell interactions increased in rupture, both in their number and diversity, and primarily involving fibroblast and endothelial cell populations. Collectively, this transcriptomic analysis suggests that fibroblasts and endothelial cells are key orchestrators of the early injury response within ruptured quadriceps tendon.","PeriodicalId":501161,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Genomics","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This dataset globally profiles RNase-insensitive RNA-chromatin interactions. Our analysis revealed that RNase treatment selectively preserved long-range RNA-chromatin interactions while removing promiscuous interactions resulting from the local diffusion of nascent transcripts. RNase-insensitive chromatin-associated RNAs (RI-caRNAs) exhibited high sequence conservation and preferentially localized to functional genomic regions, including promoters, transcription factor binding sites, and regions with specific histone modifications. Interestingly, coding and non-coding RNA transcripts showed distinct sensitivities to RNase, with lncRNAs and disease-associated transcripts being enriched among RI-caRNAs. Furthermore, we identified specific caRNA classes associated with individual transcription factors and histone modifications.
