Employing conservation of co-expression to improve functional inference
2008
BMC Systems Biology
Preserved Fulltext
Observing co-expression between genes suggests that they are functionally coupled. Co-expression of orthologous gene pairs across species may improve function prediction beyond the level achieved in a single species. Results: We used orthology between genes of the three different species S. cerevisiae, D. melanogaster, and C. elegans to combine co-expression across two species at a time. This led to increased function prediction accuracy when we incorporated expression data from either of the

... her two species and even further increased when conservation across both of the two other species was considered at the same time. Employing the conservation across species to incorporate abundant model organism data for the prediction of protein interactions in poorly characterized species constitutes a very powerful annotation method. Conclusion: To be able to employ the most suitable co-expression distance measure for our analysis, we evaluated the ability of four popular gene co-expression distance measures to detect biologically relevant interactions between pairs of genes. For the expression datasets employed in our co-expression conservation analysis above, we used the GO and the KEGG PATHWAY databases as gold standards. While the differences between distance measures were small, Spearman correlation showed to give most robust results.

As larger datasets are produced with the development of genome-scale experimental techniques, it has become essential to explicitly describe the meta-data (information describing the data) generated by an experiment. The experimental process is a part of the metadata required to interpret the produced data, and SDRF (Sample and Data Relationship Format) supports its description in a spreadsheet or tab-delimited file. This format was primarily developed to describe microarray studies in

DNA determines where and when genes are expressed, but the full set of sequence determinants that control gene expression is not known. To obtain a global and unbiased view of the relative importance of different sequence determinants in gene expression, we measured transcriptional activity of DNA sequences that are in aggregate ~100 times longer than the human genome in three different cell types. We show that enhancers can be classified to three main types: classical enhancers1, closed

... in enhancers and chromatin-dependent enhancers, which act via different mechanisms and differ in motif content. Transcription factors (TFs) act generally in an additive manner with weak grammar, with classical enhancers increasing expression from promoters by a mechanism that does not involve specific TF-TF interactions. Few TFs are strongly active in a cell, with most activities similar between cell types. Chromatin-dependent enhancers are enriched in forkhead motifs, whereas classical enhancers contain motifs for TFs with strong transactivator domains such as ETS and bZIP; these motifs are also found at transcription start site (TSS)-proximal positions. However, some TFs, such as NRF1 only activate transcription when placed close to the TSS, and others such as YY1 display positional preference with respect to the TSS. TFs can thus be classified into four non-exclusive subtypes based on their transcriptional activity: chromatin opening, enhancing, promoting and TSS determining factors — consistent with the view that the binding motif is the only atomic unit of gene expression.

Distinguishing ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) from invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) regions in clinical biopsies constitutes a diagnostic challenge. Spatial transcriptomics (ST) is an in situ capturing method, which allows quantification and visualization of transcriptomes in individual tissue sections.

Background Over the past few years the variety of experimental designs and protocols for sequencing experiments increased greatly. To ensure the wide usability of the produced data beyond an individual project, rich and systematic annotation of the underlying experiments is crucial.

Through various design features, such as controlled vocabularies and different field requirements, we ensured a high annotation quality, comparability, and ease of annotation. The structure can be easily adapted to a large variety of species. We then implemented the annotation strategy in a user-hosted web platform with data import, query, and export functionality. Conclusions We present here an annotation structure and user-hosted platform for sequencing experiment data, suitable for lab-internal documentation, collaborations, and large-scale annotation efforts.

Protein families typically embody a range of related functions and may thus be decomposed into subfamilies with, for example, distinct substrate specificities. Detection of functionally divergent subfamilies is possible by methods for recognizing branches of adaptive evolution in a gene tree. As the number of genome sequences is growing rapidly, it is highly desirable to automatically detect subfamily function divergence. To this end, we here introduce a method for large-scale prediction of

... tion divergence within protein families. It is called the alpha shift measure (ASM) as it is based on detecting a shift in the shape parameter (alpha [a]) of the substitution rate gamma distribution. Four different methods for estimating a were investigated. We benchmarked the accuracy of ASM using function annotation from Enzyme Commission numbers within Pfam protein families divided into subfamilies by the automatic tree-based method BETE. In a test using 563 subfamily pairs in 162 families, ASM outperformed functional site-based methods using rate or conservation shifting (rate shift measure [RSM] and conservation shift measure [CSM]). The best results were obtained using the "GZ-Gamma" method for estimating a. By combining ASM with RSM and CSM using linear discriminant analysis, the prediction accuracy was further improved.

Since the amplification pathway of each strand is symmetric, here we show an example derived from one particular strand. i. First, a reverse trun-back primer (TPr1) hybridizes to target DNA sequence (1) and followed DNA extension mediated by DNA polymerase creates DNA fragment flanked by TPr1 (2). Both ends of newly synthesized strand can be denatured partly and forming a stem-loop structure with thermal fluctuation. Such condition allows another reverse TP (TPr2) to hybridize to the exposed

... get sequence and extends new strand which peels the existing strand off by strand displacement activity of the DNA polymerase (3). ii. The released DNA strand becomes a template for the next step as a forward TP (TPf1) can hybridize there (4). Extension from TPf1 creates DNA fragment flanked by TPf1 and complement of TPr1 (cTPr1) (5), which can be peeled off by the same mechanism as described above for TPr1 (6). iii. We named this peeled fragment flanked by TPf1 and cTPr1 as Intermediate product (IM1) (7). The 3' end of the IM1, cTPr1, is designed to form a stem-loop structure and DNA extension can be initiated at the 3' end by self-priming mechanism (8). iv. This event generates in total two different pathways (9). The one is self-priming from the complement of TPf1 (cTPf1) after stem-loop formation with thermal fluctuation (10). The other one occurs at the cTPr1 loop in the middle of the IM1 where another reverse TP (TPr4) can hybridize there (11) . v. Products are continuously amplified by the same mechanism as described above.

Deciphering the most common modes by which chromatin regulates transcription, and how this is related to cellular status and processes is an important task for improving our understanding of human cellular biology. The FANTOM5 and ENCODE projects represent two independent large scale efforts to map regulatory and transcriptional features to the human genome. Here we investigate chromatin features around a comprehensive set of transcription start sites in four cell lines by integrating data from

... these two projects. Results: Transcription start sites can be distinguished by chromatin states defined by specific combinations of both chromatin mark enrichment and the profile shapes of these chromatin marks. The observed patterns can be associated with cellular functions and processes, and they also show association with expression level, location relative to nearby genes, and CpG content. In particular we find a substantial number of repressed inter-and intra-genic transcription start sites enriched for active chromatin marks and Pol II, and these sites are strongly associated with immediate-early response processes and cell signaling. Associations between start sites with similar chromatin patterns are validated by significant correlations in their global expression profiles. Conclusions: The results confirm the link between chromatin state and cellular function for expressed transcripts, and also indicate that active chromatin states at repressed transcripts may poise transcripts for rapid activation during immune response.
