Genotyping-By-Sequencing and Reference Genome Enabled Variant Discovery in Octoploid Strawberry

<p>(P0652)&nbsp;Genotyping-By-Sequencing and Reference Genome Enabled Variant Discovery in Octoploid Strawberry</p> <p>Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approaches have enabled routine high-density genome-wide DNA variant discovery in numerous agriculturally important species. Applications of GBS in octoploid (2n = 8x = 56) strawberry (Fragaria&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;ananassa) have been hindered by the absence of a reference genome for physically mapping DNA sequences; for discovering variants with sub-genome resolution, or effectively distinguishing homologous from homeologous variation. High-quality reference genome assemblies have recently emerged, supplying the foundation for this study, which focused on demonstrating the utility of GBS for calling sub-genome specific DNA variants in octoploid strawberry. To reduce genomic DNA complexity, double-digest protocols were tested on diverse accessions with two restriction enzyme combinations (PstI-MseI&nbsp;and&nbsp;HindIII-MseI). GBS libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 4000 using a 150 bp paired-end protocol. For the purpose of this study, we describe the deployment of a flexible bioinformatic pipeline for GBS-facilitated variant discovery in octoploid strawberry. The percentage of uniquely mapped reads ranged from 51.41% for&nbsp;PstI-MseI&nbsp;to 55.56% for&nbsp;HindIII- MseI&nbsp;resulting in 1,591,764 and 2,362,556 unique locations, respectively. The number of discovered variants was 2.5-fold greater for&nbsp;HindIII-MseI&nbsp;(491,811) than&nbsp;PstI-MseI&nbsp;(199,486). The GBS protocols uncovered a dense genome-wide landscape of DNA variants for high- precision genetic mapping, identification of DNA variants associated with agriculturally important phenotypes, genomic-enabled breeding, and other applications in octoploid strawberry.</p> <p>Poster: PDF of poster and abstract for PAG 2018 (P0652)</p> <p>Figures: PNGs of figures on the poster</p> <p>Scrips: Txt files of SLURM&nbsp;scripts used to generate the follow .vcf files.</p> <p>- 8x_GBS_0_index: Uses&nbsp;BWA to index the reference genome (Edger et al 2019) for later use.</p> <p>- 8x_GBS_1_Demultiplex: Used Sabre to demultiplex fastq.gz files.

10XG CRAM files for "Characterization of large-scale structural variants using Linked-Reads" (Part 2 of 2)

<p>Here we propose novel algorithms to characterize large (&gt;40&nbsp;Kbp) interspersed segmental duplications, &nbsp;(&gt; 80&nbsp;Kbp) inversions, (&gt; 100 Kbp) deletions, &nbsp;and (&gt; 100 Kbp) translocations&nbsp;using Linked-Read sequencing data. Linked-Read sequencing provides long range information, where Illumina reads are tagged with barcodes that can be used to assign short reads to pools of larger (30-50 Kbp) molecules.</p> <p><br> Our methods rely on split molecule&nbsp;sequence signature that we have previously described. Similar to the split read, split molecules refer to large segments of DNA that span an SV breakpoint. Therefore, when mapped to the reference genome, the mapping of these segments would be discontinuous.</p> <p><br> We redesign our earlier algorithm, VALOR, to specifically leverage Linked-Read sequencing data to discover large&nbsp;<br> structural variation. We implement our new algorithms in a new software package, called VALOR2.&nbsp;</p>

Data from: Krabbe disease variant classification using parental blood-based diagnostic RNA-seq

<p>Krabbe disease (KD) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) associated with severe neurodegeneration and high mortality and is one of most prevalent LSDs at a recent estimate of 1 in 12,080 live births. The disease pathogenesis is related to low/undetectable galactocerebrosidase (GALC) activity resulting in an accumulation of a cytotoxic GALC substrate, psychosine (Psy), that leads to diffuse demyelination, psychomotor delays, and high morbidity/mortality across the disease spectrum. <span>Although</span> phenotypic prediction in newborns with a more common, homozygous 30kb deletion and very high Psy levels is straightforward, <u>there is a larger subset of patients identified through newborn screening with missense variants of uncertain significance (VUSs) that present with mildly elevated Psy levels that are difficult to interpret.</u> Functional data for a small set of missense variants support altered GALC trafficking and lysosomal localization in KD compared to a loss of catalytic function; however, there are &gt;130 unclassified <i>GALC</i> VUSs (ClinVar; 73 missense) with no clear prognostic impact and differential onset. We are starting to performed blood-based diagnostic RNAseq (whole transcriptomics) to classify such VUSs. Here in this dataset, we performed blood-based diagnostic RNAseq on a couple to try to classify GALC gene variants in a family with Krabbe Disease (KD) and Phenylketonuria (PKU) clinical history. The single p.T513M variant carried by one of the couple was known to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant (ClinVar). Using RNAseq, we identified leaky splicing abnormality of portion of transcripts skipping of GALC exon 14 casuig a frameshift and a premature stop codon allowing us to confirm its classifciation as pathogenic. The single c.442+5G&gt;A  GALC variant carried by the other individual did not show any splicing defect suggesting this variant to be likely benign. This shows that blood-based targeted or whole mRNAseq can be perforemd for fater effieicnt diagnostis and varoant classification of GALC gene and confirmation of molecular diagnosis of KD. This dataset also shows that carrier individuals or parental RNAseq can be performed if children peripheral blood or dried blood spots (DBSs) are not available to diagnose and classify GALC variants. This type of usafe of clinical-grade functional omics platforms will enahance rare neurological disease diagnosis. </p>

Data from: Genome-wide association studies in dogs and humans identify ADAMTS20 as a risk variant for cleft lip and palate

Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is the most commonly occurring craniofacial birth defect. We provide insight into the genetic etiology of this birth defect by performing genome-wide association studies in two species: dogs and humans. In the dog, a genome-wide association study of 7 CL/P cases and 112 controls from the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (NSDTR) breed identified a significantly associated region on canine chromosome 27 (unadjusted p=1.1 x 10-13; adjusted p= 2.2 x 10-3). Further analysis in NSDTR families and additional full sibling cases identified a 1.44 Mb homozygous haplotype (chromosome 27: 9.29 – 10.73 Mb) segregating with a more complex phenotype of cleft lip, cleft palate, and syndactyly (CLPS) in 13 cases. Whole-genome sequencing of 3 CLPS cases and 4 controls at 15X coverage led to the discovery of a frameshift mutation within ADAMTS20 (c.1360_1361delAA (p.Lys453Ilefs*3)), which segregated concordant with the phenotype. In a parallel study in humans, a family-based association analysis (DFAM) of 125 CL/P cases, 420 unaffected relatives, and 392 controls from a Guatemalan cohort, identified a suggestive association (rs10785430; p =2.67 x 10-6) with the same gene, ADAMTS20. Sequencing of cases from the Guatemalan cohort was unable to identify a causative mutation within the coding region of ADAMTS20, but four coding variants were found in additional cases of CL/P. In summary, this study provides genetic evidence for a role of ADAMTS20 in CL/P development in dogs and as a candidate gene for CL/P development in humans.

Data from: Multiple maize reference genomes impact the identification of variants by GWAS in a diverse inbred panel

Use of a single reference genome for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) limits the gene space represented to that of a single accession. This limitation can complicate identification and characterization of genes located within presence/absence variations (PAVs). In this study, we present the draft de novo genome assembly of PHJ89, an Oh43-type inbred line. Using three separate reference genome assemblies (B73, PH207, and PHJ89) that represent the predominant germplasm groups of maize, we generated three separate whole-seedling gene expression profile and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) matrices from a panel of 942 diverse inbred lines. We identified 34,447 (B73), 39,672 (PH207), and 37,436 (PHJ89) transcripts that are not present in the respective reference genome assembly. GWAS was conducted in the 942 inbred panel using both the SNP and expression data values to map sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) resistance. Highlighting the impact of alternative reference genomes in gene discovery, GWAS results for SCMV resistance using expression values as a surrogate measure of PAV resulted in robust detection of the physical location of a known resistance gene when using the B73 reference that contains the gene, but not when using the PH207 reference. This study provides the valuable resource of the Oh43-type PHJ89 genome assembly as well as SNP and expression data for 942 individuals generated using three different reference genomes.

Clinical data for individuals from families with SLC32A1 variants

<div class="page"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p><strong>Objective:</strong> To identify the causative gene in a large unsolved family with genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+), we sequenced the genomes of family members, and then determined the contribution of the identified gene to the pathogenicity of epilepsies by examining sequencing data from 2772 additional patients.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>We performed whole genome sequencing of three members of a GEFS+ family. Subsequently, whole exome sequencing (ES) data from 1165 epilepsy patients from the Epi4K dataset and 1329 Australian epilepsy patients from the Epi25 dataset was interrogated. Targeted resequencing was performed on 278 patients with FS or GEFS+ phenotypes. Variants were validated and familial segregation examined by Sanger sequencing.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Eight previously unreported missense variants were identified in SLC32A1, coding for the vesicular inhibitory amino acid co-transporter VGAT. Two variants co- segregated with the phenotype in two large GEFS+ families containing eight and ten affected individuals, respectively. Six further variants were identified in smaller families with GEFS+ or idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE).</p> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Missense variants in SLC32A1 cause GEFS+ and IGE. These variants are predicted to alter GABA transport into synaptic vesicles, leading to altered neuronal inhibition. Examination of further epilepsy cohorts will determine the full genotype-phenotype spectrum associated with SLC32A1 variants.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div>

Heterologous immunization with inactivated vaccine followed by mRNA booster elicits strong humoral and cellular immune responses against the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

<p>The recent emergence of the Omicron variant has raised concerns on vaccine efficacy and the urgent need to study more efficient vaccination strategies. Here we evaluated the effect of an mRNA vaccine booster on immunogenicity in individuals vaccinated with two doses of inactivated vaccine. We observed that an mRNA vaccine booster significantly increased the plasma level of specific antibodies that bind to the receptor-binding domain (RBD) or the spike (S) ectodomain (S1+S2) of both the G614 and the Omicron variants, compared to two doses of homologous inactivated vaccine. The level of RBD- and S-specific IgG antibodies and virus neutralization titers against variants of concern in the heterologous vaccination group were similar to that in individuals receiving three doses of homologous mRNA vaccine or a boost of mRNA vaccine after infection, but markedly higher than that in individuals receiving three doses of a homologous inactivated vaccine. Moreover, this heterologous vaccination regime significantly enhanced the RBD-specific memory B cell response and S1-specific T cell response compared to two or three doses of homologous inactivated vaccine. Our study demonstrates that an mRNA vaccine booster in individuals vaccinated with inactivated vaccines can be highly beneficial, as it markedly increases the humoral and cellular immune responses against the virus, including the Omicron variant</p>

Diversely evolved xibalbin variants from remipede venom inhibit 3 potassium channels and activate PKA-II and Erk1/2 signalling

<p><span><strong>Background:</strong> </span><span>The identification of novel toxins from overlooked and taxonomically exceptional species bears potential for various pharmacological applications. The remipede <em>Xibalbanus tulumensis</em>, an underwater cave-dwelling crustacean, is the only crustacean for which a venom system has been described. Its venom contains several xibalbin peptides that have an inhibitor cysteine knot (ICK) scaffold.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Result:</span></strong><span><strong> </strong>Our screenings revealed that all tested xibalbin variants particularly inhibit potassium channels. Xib<sub>1</sub> and xib<sub>13</sub>, with their eight-cysteine domain similar to spider knottins also inhibit voltage-gated sodium channels. No activity was noted on calcium channels. Expanding the functional testing we demonstrate that xib<sub>1</sub> and xib<sub>13</sub> increase PKA-II and Erk1/2 sensitization signaling in nociceptive neurons, which may initiate pain sensitization. Our phylogenetic analysis suggests that xib<sub>13</sub> either originates from the common ancestor of pancrustaceans or earlier while xib<sub>1</sub> is more restricted to remipedes. The ten-cysteine scaffolded xib<sub>2</sub> emerged from xib<sub>1</sub>, a result that is supported by our phylogenetic and machine learning-based analyses.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Conclusions</span></strong><span><strong>: </strong>Our functional characterization of synthesized variants of xib<sub>1</sub>, xib<sub>2</sub>, and xib<sub>13</sub> elucidates their potential as inhibitors of potassium channels in mammalian systems. The specific interaction of xib<sub>2</sub> with Kv1.6 channels, which are relevant to treating variants of epilepsy, shows potential for further studies. At higher concentrations, xib1 and xib13 activate the kinases PKA-II and ERK1/2 in mammalian sensory neurons, suggesting pain sensitization and potential applications related to pain research and therapy. While tested insect channels suggest that all probably act as neurotoxins, the biological function of xib<sub>1</sub>, xib<sub>2,</sub> and xib<sub>13</sub> requires further elucidation. A novel finding on their evolutionary origin is the apparent emergence of </span><em><span>X. tulumensis</span></em><span>-specific xib<sub>2</sub> from xib<sub>1</sub>. Our study is an important cornerstone for future studies to untangle the origin and function of these enigmatic proteins as important components of remipede but also other pancrustacean and arthropod venoms.</span></p>
