ALTRE: workflow for defining ALTered regulatory elements using chromatin accessibility data
Summary Regulatory elements regulate gene transcription, and their location and accessibility is cell-type specific, particularly for enhancers. Mapping and comparing chromatin accessibility between different cell types may identify mechanisms involved in cellular development and disease progression. To streamline and simplify differential analysis of regulatory elements genome-wide using chrom...
متن کاملFAIRE (Formaldehyde-Assisted Isolation of Regulatory Elements) isolates active regulatory elements from human chromatin.
DNA segments that actively regulate transcription in vivo are typically characterized by eviction of nucleosomes from chromatin and are experimentally identified by their hypersensitivity to nucleases. Here we demonstrate a simple procedure for the isolation of nucleosome-depleted DNA from human chromatin, termed FAIRE (Formaldehyde-Assisted Isolation of Regulatory Elements). To perform FAIRE, ...
متن کاملGenetic fusions defining trp and lac operon regulatory elements.
Two procedures for easily isolating deletions that fuse the trp and lac operons are described. Using these procedures, a large number of fusion deletions have been isolated. The 1a.c ends of these deletions extend varying distances into the &I gene and the Z&c promoter-operator region. Therefore, contrary to a previous report, there does not appear to be a messenger-termination signal at the Ct...
متن کاملAltered oncomodules underlie chromatin regulatory factors driver mutations
Chromatin regulatory factors (CRFs), are known to be involved in tumorigenesis in several cancer types. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms through which driver alterations of CRFs cause tumorigenesis remain unknown. Here, we developed a CRFs Oncomodules Discovery approach, which mines several sources of cancer genomics and perturbaomics data. The approach prioritizes sets of genes significa...
متن کاملModeling gene regulation from paired expression and chromatin accessibility data.
The rapid increase of genome-wide datasets on gene expression, chromatin states, and transcription factor (TF) binding locations offers an exciting opportunity to interpret the information encoded in genomes and epigenomes. This task can be challenging as it requires joint modeling of context-specific activation of cis-regulatory elements (REs) and the effects on transcription of associated reg...
