Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance02:30

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

37.1K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Imprinting01:22

Imprinting

11.1K
Behavioral imprinting is observed in some newborn animals and occurs when they develop strong and specific attachments to another animal (usually a parent) following brief, early-life exposures. Offspring imprint onto parents within a brief period after birth or hatching; this time window is called the critical period. Once imprinting occurs, the bond established between the parents and their offspring is usually long-lasting.

Uncertainty in Measurement: Reading Instruments

51.5K
Counting is the type of measurement that is free from uncertainty, provided the number of objects being counted does not change during the process. Such measurements result in exact numbers. By counting the eggs in a carton, for instance, one can determine exactly how many eggs are there in the carton. Similarly, the numbers of defined quantities are also exact. For example, 1 foot is exactly 12 inches, 1 inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, and 1 gram is exactly 0.001 kilograms. Quantities...

From DNA to Protein03:06

From DNA to Protein

22.3K
The flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to mRNA to protein is described by the central dogma, which states that genes specify the sequence of mRNAs, which in turn specify the sequence of amino acids making up all proteins. The decoding of one molecule to another is performed by specific proteins and RNAs. Because the information stored in DNA is so central to cellular function, it makes intuitive sense that the cell would make mRNA copies of this information for protein synthesis...

Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

11.8K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Area of Science:

  • Epigenetics
  • Genomics
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • CpG methylation is crucial for mammalian development and genomic imprinting.
  • Genomic imprinting controls parent-of-origin specific gene expression.
  • Accurate characterization of methylation and haplotype is essential for understanding imprinting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a long-read nanopore sequencing method for simultaneous methylation and haplotype analysis.
  • To identify imprinting control regions (ICRs) and differentially methylated regions (DMRs).
  • To explore novel ICRs associated with unknown monoallelically expressed genes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized long-read nanopore sequencing with an average genomic coverage of ~10x.
  • Developed novel computational methods to analyze methylation and haplotype from nanopore reads, accounting for basecalling precision.
  • Validated results against Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS) and existing datasets.

Main Results:

  • Successfully determined CpG methylation levels and haplotype information from nanopore sequencing reads.
  • Identified known imprinting control regions (ICRs) with high accuracy.
  • Discovered novel differentially methylated regions (DMRs) potentially representing new ICRs near uncharacterized genes.

Conclusions:

  • Long-read nanopore sequencing is a viable tool for comprehensive epigenetic analysis, including methylation and haplotype phasing.
  • The method enhances the study of genomic imprinting and the discovery of regulatory elements.
  • This approach offers new insights into the epigenetic regulation of early mammalian development.
