Description
We developed a bioinformatics approach called the Read-Split-Walk (RSW) pipeline, and evaluated it using two Ire1a heterozygous and two Ire1a-null samples. The 26nt non-canonical splice site in Xbp1 was detected as the top hit by our RSW pipeline in heterozygous samples but not in the negative control Ire1a knockout samples. We compared the Xbp1 results from our approach with results using the alignment program BWA, STAR, Exonerate and the Unix “grep” command. We then applied our RSW pipeline to RNA-Seq data from the SKBR3 human breast cancer cell line. RSW reported a large number of non-canonical spliced regions for 108 genes in chromosome 17, which were identified by an independent study. Overall design: Identification of non-canonical spliced regions for mouse MEF samples (two Ire1a heterozygous and two Ire1a-null samples)

Description
Definitive hematopoietic cells arise from hemogenic endothelium during mid-gestation, indicating a direct link between blood and the endothelial-lined vessels. We sought to determine whether mutations initiated in the hemogenic endothelium would yield hematopoietic abnormalities or malignancies. Here we demonstrate that transposon mutagenesis targeting endothelial cells in mice promotes the development of hematopoietic pathologies that are both myeloid and lymphoid in nature. Sequencing of the disrupted genes identified several previously recognized candidate cancer drivers and furthermore revealed that mutations in the lipid kinase Pi4ka can result in myeloid and erythroid dysfunction. Subsequent validation experiments showed that targeted inactivation of the Pi4ka catalytic domain or reduction in mRNA expression inhibited myeloid and erythroid cell differentiation in vitro and promoted anemia in vivo through a mechanism that includes, but it is not limited to deregulation of Akt signaling. Finally, we provide evidence linking PI4KAP2, previously considered a “pseudogene”, with human myeloid and erythroid leukemia. Overall design: mRNA transcriptional comparison between two pieces of spleen from three SBxVEC-Cre+ animals and three control animals to assess clonality of each spleen as a whole.
