Heritable individual-specific and allele-specific chromatin signatures in humans.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The extent to which variation in chromatin structure and transcription factor binding may influence gene expression, and thus underlie or contribute to variation in phenotype, is unknown. To address this question, we cataloged both individual-to-individual variation and differences between homologous chromosomes within the same individual (allele-specific variation) in chromatin structure and transcription factor binding in lymphoblastoid cells derived from individuals of geographically diverse ancestry. Ten percent of active chromatin sites were individual-specific; a similar proportion were allele-specific. Both individual-specific and allele-specific sites were commonly transmitted from parent to child, which suggests that they are heritable features of the human genome. Our study shows that heritable chromatin status and transcription factor binding differ as a result of genetic variation and may underlie phenotypic variation in humans.

Allele-specific and heritable chromatin signatures in humans.
Next-generation sequencing-based assays to detect gene regulatory elements are enabling the analysis of individual-to-individual and allele-specific variation of chromatin status and transcription factor binding in humans. Recently, a number of studies have explored this area, using lymphoblastoid cell lines. Around 10% of chromatin sites show either individual-level differences or allele-speci...

Background Genomic imprinting is a heritable and developmentally essential phenomenon by which gene expression occurs in an allele-specific manner1. While the imprinted alleles are primarily silenced by DNA methylation, it remains largely unknown how methylation is targeted to imprinting control region (ICR), also called differentially methylated region (DMR), and maintained. Here we show that ...

متن کاملAllele-Specific Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Studies Show Genetic Influence on Chromatin State in Human Genome
Several recent studies have shown a genetic influence on gene expression variation, including variation between the two chromosomes within an individual and variation between individuals at the population level. We hypothesized that genetic inheritance may also affect variation in chromatin states. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed chromatin states in 12 lymphoblastoid cells derived from two...
