Inheritance of Chromatin Structures03:17

Inheritance of Chromatin Structures

6.5K
Epigenetics is the study of inherited changes in a cell's phenotype without changing the DNA sequences. It provides a form of memory for the differential gene expression pattern to maintain cell lineage, position-effect variegation, dosage compensation, and maintenance of chromatin structures such as telomeres and centromeres. For example, the structure and location of the centromere on chromosomes are epigenetically inherited. Its functionality is not dictated or ensured by the underlying...

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation- ChIP02:36

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation- ChIP

11.2K
Chromatin immunoprecipitation, or ChIP, is an antibody-based technique used to identify sites on DNA that bind to transcription factors of interest or histone proteins. It also helps determine the type of histone modifications such as acetylation, phosphorylation, or methylation.
Types of ChIP
ChIP can be divided into two types - X-ChIP and N-ChIP. X-ChIP involves in vivo cross-linking of histones and regulatory proteins to DNA, fragmenting the DNA by sonication, and isolating the protein-DNA...

Chromatin Modification in iPS Cells01:32

Chromatin Modification in iPS Cells

1.9K
Chromatin modification alters gene expression; therefore, scientists can add histone-modifying enzymes, histone variants, and chromatin remodeling complexes to somatic cells to aid reprogramming into pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.
Compact chromatin makes reprogramming difficult. Enzymes, such as histone demethylases and acetyltransferases, are often added during reprogramming to loosen the chromatin, making the DNA more accessible to transcription factors. Molecules that inhibit histone...

Chromatin Position Affects Gene Expression02:35

Chromatin Position Affects Gene Expression

23.6K
Chromatin is the massive complex of DNA and proteins packaged inside the nucleus. The complexity of chromatin folding and how it is packaged inside the nucleus greatly influences  access to genetic information. Generally, the nucleus' periphery is considered transcriptionally repressive, while the cell's interior is considered a transcriptionally active area. 
Topologically Associated Domains (TADs)
The 3-dimensional positioning of chromatin in the nucleus influences the...

Spreading of Chromatin Modifications02:25

Spreading of Chromatin Modifications

8.5K
The histone proteins in the nucleosomes are post-translationally modified (PTM) to increase or decrease access to DNA. The commonly observed PTMs are methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination of lysine amino acids in the histone H3 tail region. These histone modifications have specific meaning for the cell. Hence, they are called "histone code". The protein complex involved in histone modification is termed as "reader-writer" complex.

Area of Science:

  • Plant genomics and epigenetics.
  • Computational biology and deep learning applications in gene regulation.

Background:

  • Modeling accessible chromatin regions (ACRs) from DNA sequence is crucial for understanding gene regulation but remains challenging, particularly in plants.
  • Plant chromatin remodeling mechanisms are less understood compared to animals, necessitating advanced predictive models.
  • DNA methylation patterns often correlate with ACRs in plants, offering another avenue for predictive modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a deep learning model for predicting chromatin accessibility and DNA methylation in angiosperms using sequence data.
  • To investigate the conservation of chromatin accessibility mechanisms across diverse angiosperm species.
  • To identify key transcription factor binding motifs associated with accessible chromatin regions in plants.

Main Methods:

  • Training the DanQ deep learning architecture on chromatin accessibility and DNA methylation data from multiple angiosperm species.
  • Developing both within-species and across-species predictive models.
  • Utilizing model interpretation techniques to identify important DNA sequence motifs and transcription factor families.

Main Results:

  • Across-species models demonstrated comparable or superior predictive performance to within-species models, indicating conserved chromatin mechanisms.
  • The models accurately predicted constitutively accessible chromatin regions but showed reduced performance for cell-type-specific regions.
  • TCP and AP2/ERF transcription factor families were identified as highly important motifs for predicting chromatin accessibility.

Conclusions:

  • Deep learning models trained across multiple angiosperm species can effectively predict chromatin accessibility and methylation landscapes.
  • Conserved chromatin regulatory mechanisms exist across angiosperms, enabling robust cross-species predictions.
  • The developed 'a2z' model provides a valuable tool for exploring plant epigenomes and gene regulation.
