Description
Propose: We used next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to characterize the transcriptional changes in primary human melanocytes during recessive Cole disease. Our patient carried missense mutation in the ENPP1 gene (c.358T>C; p.C120R). RNA-seq was performed using mRNA extracted from primary hypo- and hyper-pigmented melanocytes isolated from affected patient and melanocytes from his healthy heterozygous sibling and an aged- and ethnicity-matched control. Results: A pairwise fold-change comparison was performed and genes were computationally filtered using a cutoff of more than 2 fold change and P<0.01. We first compared hyper-pigmented melanocytes to each control individually and then overlapped the results to obtain a list of 1041 up-regulated and 692 down-regulated genes. The same analysis was done for hypo-pigmented melanocytes to found that 535 genes were up-regulated and 520 were down-regulated. Finally, to obtain a profile of the overall differential gene expression, down-regulated genes in hyper and hypo-pigmented cells were overlapped to identify 143 genes that were down-regulated in patient melanocytes compared to controls regardless of pigmentation status. Similar analysis was performed to obtain the list of 172 up-regulated genes. We selected 36 deregulated genes, most of which were associated with melanocyte development and pigmentation signaling pathways, and validated 32 of them by Q-PCR, indicating that our RNA-Seq data was accurate and reliable. Conclusion: Our study represents the first analysis of hypo- and hyper-pigmented primary melanocytes isolated from affected patient versus healthy controls in recessive Cole disese pathology. Overall design: mRNA profiles of hyper- and hypo-pigmented mutant melanocytes, heterozygous and wild type melanocytes were sequenced in triplicate on the Hiseq 2500 High output 100PE

Description
Etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings open their cotyledons and halt rapid elongation of hypocotyl when exposed to light (de-etiolation). Major light responsive components in this process have been identified and signaling pathways revealed, yet how the organ-specific light responses are achieved remains unknown. Here we report that a developmental regulator TCP4 (TEOSINTE BRANCHED1, CYCLOIDEA, and PCF) participates in photomorphogenesis and facilitates light-induced cotyledon-opening. We demonstrate that TCP4-like transcriptional factors, which predominantly express in cotyledons of both light and dark seedlings, activate SAUR16 and SAUR50 in response to light. Light repressor PIF3 (or PIFs, phytochrome-interacting factors), which accumulates in etiolated seedlings and rapidly declines upon light exposure, inhibits TCP4 promoter-binding and prevents activation of SAUR16/50 in darkness. Our study reveals how an interplay between light responsive factors and developmental regulators leads to signal-dependent and tissue-specific regulation of gene expressions, which ultimately resulted in organ-specific light responses during de-etiolation. Overall design: Cotyledon mRNA profiles of 4-day-old dark grown Col, mTCP4#4 and mTCP4#10 seedlings were generated by deep sequencing.

Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 Array (drosophila2)
Description
Drosophila males double transcription of their single X chromosome to equalize X-linked gene expression with females, which carry two X chromosomes. Increased transcription requires the Male-Specific Lethal (MSL) complex. One of the primary functions of the MSL complex is thought to be enrichment of H4Ac16 on the male X chromosome, a modification linked to elevated transcription. The roX1 and roX2 RNAs are essential but redundant components of the MSL complex. Simultaneous removal of both roX RNAs reduces MSL X-localization and leads to ectopic binding of these proteins at autosomal sites and to the chromocenter. Some H4Ac16 accumulates at these ectopic sites in roX1- roX2- males, suggesting the possibility of increased expression. The global effect of roX mutations on gene expression was measured by microarray analysis. We found that expression of the X chromosome was decreased by 26% in roX1- roX2- male larvae, supporting the involvement of roX RNAs in the up-regulation of X-linked genes. This finding is broadly comparable to reports of reduced X chromosome expression following msl2 RNAi knockdown in S2 cells. In spite of strong MSL binding and H4Ac16 accumulation at autosomal sites in roX1- roX2- males, enhanced gene expression could not be detected at these sites by microarray analysis or reverse northern blotting. Thus, failure to compensate X-linked genes, rather than inappropriate up-regulation of autosomal genes at ectopic sites of MSL binding, appears to cause male lethality upon loss of roX RNAs.

Description
The CDKN2A/B locus at 9p21.3 contains crucial tumor suppressors (P16, P14, and P15) and oncogenic lncRNA ANRIL genes. This locus is most frequently inactivated in cancer genomes by deletion and DNA methylation. However, the mechanisms coordinately regulating their expression level are far from clear. In the present study, a novel lncRNA, P14AS, was characterized in the antisense strand of the fragment near CDKN2A in human cell lines using CDKN2A-specific probe captured RNA-sequencing (RNACap-Seq). Overall design: RNAs were characterized in the antisense strand of the fragment near CDKN2A in human cell lines using CDKN2A-specific probe captured RNA-sequencing (RNACap-Seq).

Description
In the diploid genome, genes come in two copies, which can have different DNA sequence and where one is maternal and one is paternal. In a particular cell, a gene could potentially be expressed from both copies (biallelic expression) or only one (monoallelic). We performed RNA-Sequencing on individual cells, from zygote to the cells of the late blastocyst, and also individual cells from the adult liver. Using first generation crosses between two distantly related mouse strains, CAST/Ei and C57BL/6, we determined the expression separately from the maternal and paternal alleles. We found that half of the genes were expressed by only one allele, randomly so that some cells would express the paternal allele, some the maternal and a few cell both alleles. We also observed the spread of the progressive inactivation of the paternal X chromosome. Overall design: First generation mouse strain crosses were used to study monoallelic expression on the single cell level

- Affymetrix Rice Genome Array (rice)
Description
Pollen development from the microspore involves a series of coordinated cellular events, and the resultant mature pollen is specialized in function that it can quickly germinate and produces a polar-growth pollen tube derived from the vegetative cell to deliver two sperms for fertilization. Understanding the molecular program underlying pollen development and germination still remains a major challenge for plant biology. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Rice Genome Array to comprehensively analyzed the dynamic changes in the transcriptomes of rice pollen at five sequential developmental stages from microspores to germinated pollen. Among the 51,279 transcripts on the array, we found 25,062 pollen-preferential transcripts, among which 2,203 were development stage-enriched. The diversity of transcripts decreased greatly from microspores to mature and germinated pollen, whereas the number of stage-enriched transcripts displayed a U-type change, with the lowest at the bicellular pollen stage; and a transition of overrepresented stage-enriched transcript groups associated with different functional categories, which indicates a shift in gene expression program at the bicellular pollen stage. About 54% of the now-annotated rice F-box protein genes were expressed preferentially in pollen. The transcriptome profile of germinated pollen was significantly and positively correlated with that of mature pollen. Analysis of expression profiles and coexpressed features of the pollen-preferential transcripts related to cell cycle, transcription, the ubiquitin/26S proteasome system, phytohormone signalling, the kinase system and defense/stress response revealed five expression patterns, which are compatible with changes in major cellular events during pollen development and germination. A comparison of pollen transcriptomes between rice and Arabidopsis revealed that 56.6% of the rice pollen preferential genes had homologs in Arabidopsis genome, but 63.4% of these homologs were expressed, with a small proportion being expressed preferentially, in Arabidopsis pollen. Rice and Arabidopsis pollen had non-conservative transcription factors each. These results supply novel insights into the molecular program and key components of the regulatory network regulating pollen development and germination.

Description
To address the functional role of KDM6A in the regulation of Rhox genes, male and female mouse ES cells were transfected with a mixture of three small interfering RNA duplexes, each of which targets a different region of Kdm6a mRNA. We found that Kdm6a knockdown in mouse ES cells caused a decrease in expression of a subset of Rhox genes, Rhox6 and 9. Furthermore, Rhox6 and 9 expression was decreased in female ES cells but not male ES cells indicating that KDM6A regulates Rhox gene expression in a sexually dimorphic manner.
