Download or read book Transcriptomic Approaches for Connecting Gene Regulation to Ecologically Important Traits written by Rachel Ann Johnston and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gene regulation is tightly regulated to produce individual phenotypes appropriate to a animal's placement in time and space. How specific genetic and environmental factors shape gene regulation has been extensively studied in laboratory model species. However, far less is known about sources of variance in gene regulation in the wild, in populations where natural selection operates. My dissertation research aimed to identify factors that influence individual variation in gene regulation by evaluating transcriptome-wide gene expression levels within and across populations. In my first chapter, I evaluated gene expression changes in captive Swainson's thrushes (Catharus ustulatus) originating from two populations as they transitioned from the non-migratory to migratory condition. Birds exhibited significant seasonal differences in the expression of genes involved in cellular development in the brain, providing support for seasonal neural plasticity in migratory birds. In my second chapter, I focused on a single population, the North American gray wolves (Canis lupus) of Yellowstone National Park, to evaluate the relative impacts of intrinsic (age and sex) and environmental variables (social status and presence of sarcoptic mange) on gene expression variation in blood. I found that, unexpectedly, animal age, but not sex, social status, or sarcoptic mange infestation, impacted gene expression, suggesting that age may have pervasive, evolutionarily conserved effects on gene expression variation in natural populations of mammals. Finally, in my third chapter, I adopted an in vitro experimental approach to study how gene regulation is impacted by genotype at the CBD103 gene, which encodes a protein with antimicrobial properties, exists in two forms (alleles) in North American gray wolves, and is associated with lifetime reproductive success. I established keratinocyte lines from 24 gray wolves and utilized CRISPR/Cas9 to generate one heterozygous and homozygous line. To test whether the fitness effects of CBD103 genotype are explained by their roles in immune defense, I challenged the cells with synthetic antigens and live canine distemper virus. No effect of CBD103 genotype was detected, but immune challenge altered expression of thousands of genes. This work demonstrated the ability to establish a population panel of cell lines from a wild mammal, a potentially powerful method for studying gene regulation in natural populations.

Download or read book Gene Expression and Transcriptome Sequencing written by Kalyani M. Barbadikar and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gene expression studies are extremely useful for understanding a broad range of biological, physiological, and molecular responses. The techniques for gene expression reflect differential patterns of gene regulation and have evolved with time from detecting one gene to many genes at a time laterally. Gene expression depends on the spatiotemporal expression in a particular tissue at a given time point and needs critical examination and interpretation. Transcriptome sequencing or RNA-seq using next-generation sequencing (short and long reads) is the most widely deployed technology for accurate quantification of gene expression. According to the biological aim of the experiment, replications, platform, and chemistries, propelling improvement has been demonstrated and documented using RNA-seq in plants, humans, animals, and clinical sciences with respect to gene expression of mRNA, small non-coding, long non-coding RNAs, alternative splice variations, isoform variations, gene fusions, single-nucleotide variants. Integrating transcriptome sequencing with other techniques such as chromatin immunoprecipitation, methylation, genome-wide association studies, manifests insights into genetic and epigenetic regulation. Epi-transcriptome including RNA methylation, modification, and alternative polyadenylation events can also be explored through long-read sequencing. In this chapter, we have presented an account of the basics of gene expression methods, transcriptome sequencing, and the various methodologies involved in the downstream analysis.

Download or read book Systems Biology of Transcription Regulation written by Ekaterina Shelest and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transcription regulation is a complex process that can be considered and investigated from different perspectives. Traditionally and due to technical reasons (including the evolution of our understanding of the underlying processes) the main focus of the research was made on the regulation of expression through transcription factors (TFs), the proteins directly binding to DNA. On the other hand, intensive research is going on in the field of chromatin structure, remodeling and its involvement in the regulation. Whatever direction we select, we can speak about several levels of regulation. For instance, concentrating on TFs, we should consider multiple regulatory layers, starting with signaling pathways and ending up with the TF binding sites in the promoters and other regulatory regions. However, it is obvious that the TF regulation, also including the upstream processes, represents a modest portion of all processes leading to gene expression. For more comprehensive description of the gene regulation, we need a systematic and holistic view, which brings us to the importance of systems biology approaches. Advances in methodology, especially in high-throughput methods, result in an ever-growing mass of data, which in many cases is still waiting for appropriate consideration. Moreover, the accumulation of data is going faster than the development of algorithms for their systematic evaluation. Data and methods integration is indispensable for the acquiring a systematic as well as a systemic view. In addition to the huge amount of molecular or genetic components of a biological system, the even larger number of their interactions constitutes the enormous complexity of processes occurring in a living cell (organ, organism). In systems biology, these interactions are represented by networks. Transcriptional or, more generally, gene regulatory networks are being generated from experimental ChIPseq data, by reverse engineering from transcriptomics data, or from computational predictions of transcription factor (TF) – target gene relations. While transcriptional networks are now available for many biological systems, mathematical models to simulate their dynamic behavior have been successfully developed for metabolic and, to some extent, for signaling networks, but relatively rarely for gene regulatory networks. Systems biology approaches provide new perspectives that raise new questions. Some of them address methodological problems, others arise from the newly obtained understanding of the data. These open questions and problems are also a subject of this Research Topic.
