Illumina HiSeq 2000
Description
Purpose: This study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes including alternative splice variants in embryonic ventricles following in utero caffeine treatment. Methods: Pregnant CD-1 mice were injected with 20 mg/kg of caffeine or vehicle control daily from embryonic day (E) 6.5-9.5. On E10.5, total RNA was isolated from embryonic ventricles and used for transcriptomic RNA sequencing with Illumina HiSeq 2000 (1X75bp). RNA-seq reads were aligned to the mouse genome (build mm10) with the Tophat for Illumina tool in the PSU galaxy platform. Counting and annotation of RNA-seq reads as well as alternative splicing analysis were performed with Partek Genomics Suite version 6.11. Differential expression of gene and transcript reads between treatments was analyzed with R package EdgeR. Genes/transcripts with false discovery rate (FDR) less than 0.05 and absolute fold change greater than 1.5 were considered as significant. Differentially expressed genes were defined as genes with altered expression at either gene or transcript level. Unique differentially expressed genes were identified by combining the results from annotations with the RefSeq Transcripts (2013-05-10) or Ensembl Transcripts release 71 databases. Results: Differential expression analysis revealed that 59 genes and 451 transcripts were significantly up-regulated, and 65 genes and 398 transcripts were down-regulated by prenatal caffeine treatment (fold change >1.5 or <-1.5; p-value with FDR<0.05). In total, 900 unique genes were identified to have altered expression either at the gene or transcription level. Further analysis with Partek GS revealed that 183 genes had abnormal alternative splicing at the exon level after in utero caffeine treatment. Conclusions: In utero caffeine exposure caused gene expression changes in embryonic ventricles and these changes may lead to long-term effects on cardiac morphology and function. Overall design: mRNA profiles in E10.5 heart ventricles treated with caffeine were generated by deep sequencing (n=2 for vehicle, n=3 for caffeine), using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Affymetrix Maize Genome Array (maize)
Description
The contribution of epigenetic alterations to natural variation for gene transcription levels remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the functional targets of the maize chromomethylase ZMET2 in multiple inbred lines to determine whether epigenetic changes conditioned by this chromomethylase are conserved or variable within the species. Gene expression microarrays were hybridized with RNA samples from the inbred lines B73 and Mo17, and from near-isogenic derivatives containing the loss-of-function allele zmet2-m1. A set of 126 genes that displayed statistically significant differential expression in zmet2 mutants relative to wild-type plants in at least one of the two genetic backgrounds were identified. Analysis of the transcript levels in both wild-type and mutant individuals revealed that only 10% of these genes were affected in zmet2 mutants in both B73 and Mo17 genetic backgrounds. Over 80% of the genes with expression patterns affected by zmet2 mutations display variation for gene expression between wild-type B73 and Mo17 plants. Further analysis was performed for seven genes that were transcriptionally silent in wild-type B73, but expressed in B73 zmet2-m1, wild-type Mo17 and Mo17 zmet2-m1 lines. Mapping experiments confirmed that the expression differences in wild-type B73 relative to Mo17 inbreds for these genes were caused by cis-acting regulatory variation. Methylation-sensitive PCR and bisulphite sequencing demonstrated that for five of these genes the CpNpG methylation in the wild-type B73 genetic background was substantially decreased in the B73 zmet2-m1 mutant and in wild-type Mo17. A survey of eight maize inbreds reveals that each of these five genes exhibit transcriptionally silent and methylated states in some inbred lines and unmethylated, expressed states in other inbreds, providing evidence for natural variation in epigenetic states for some maize genes.

Description
The maize Rough endosperm3 (Rgh3) gene encodes an ortholog of the human essential splicing factor, ZRSR2. To test whether a mutation in Rgh3 affects mRNA splicing, we compared rgh3 mutants and wild-type sibling transcriptomes in an RNA-seq experiment. Twelve libraries were constructed with mRNA extracted from the roots and shoots of three seedlings of each genotype. The libraries were multiplexed and sequenced on one lane of the HiSeq 2000 platform. The run produced 149 million paired-end 100 bp reads that mapped to 35,028 genes. Two approaches were used to analyze the dataset. In the first approach, Mosaik2, FreeBayes, GSNAP, and Cufflinks were used to identify differences in transcript isoform abundance in a SNP-tolerant fashion. During reverse-transcription PCR validation, six examples of intron retention were found to occur more frequently in rgh3 seedlings, and all six introns were members of a rare class of introns called U12-type introns. The second approach utilized a t-test to determine whether more reads were mapped to U12-type introns in rgh3 libraries relative to wild-type libraries. Out of all U12-type introns within genes that are expressed at a early seedling stage, 43% exhibit splicing defects in rgh3 mutants. These U12-type intron splicing defects include intron retention and cryptic splice site activation. We report that the rgh3 mutation specifically impairs the U12-type intron splicing. Overall design: Libraries were built from three replicates of each: wild-type roots, wild-type shoots, rgh3 roots, and rgh3 shoots

Description
We report the changes in transcriptome that results from RNAi suppression of 7S and 11S storage protein synthesis in soybean seeds, Proteomic results show that other proteins compensate for the storage protein shortfall. The transcriptome analysis show numerous changes result from suppressing storage proteins but compensating proteins are accumulated without parallel changes in the protein's transcription. Overall design: Total RNA samples prepared from midmaturation wildtype and storage protein RNAi (SP-) soybeans were used to produce cDNA that was subjected to Illumina sequencing. The resulting sequences were assembled and analyzed to characterize the changes in transcriptome that results from suppressing storage protein synthesis/accumulation.

Description
Inflammatory diseases such as Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome (AGS) and severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are generally lethal disorders that have been traced to defects in the exonuclease Trex1 (DNAseIII). Mice lacking Trex1 similarly die at an early age through comparable symptoms, including inflammatory myocarditis, through chronic activation of the STING (stimulator of interferon genes) pathway. Here we demonstrate that phagocytes rather than myocytes are predominantly responsible for causing inflammation, an outcome that could be alleviated following adoptive transfer of normal bone marrow into Trex1-/- mice. Trex1-/- macrophages did not exhibit significant augmented ability to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to normal macrophages following exposure to STING-dependent activators, but rather appeared chronically stimulated by genomic DNA. These results shed molecular insight into inflammation and provide concepts for the design of new therapies.
