Genome refers to the complete set of genetic information, including all genes and their nucleotide sequence, that is present within an organism or cell.
The genome contains the instructions needed for the development and functioning of living beings.
Genomes vary widely in size and organization, from the small, circular genomes of viruses to the large, linear genomes of plants and animals.
Understanding the genome is crucial for advancements in fields like genetics, genomics, and molecular biology, enabling researchers to study the genetic basis of traits, diseases, and evolutionary relationships.
The exploration and analysis of genomes continues to be an area of intense scientific investigation and discovery.
DESeq2 is implemented as a package for the R statistical environment and is available [10 ] as part of the Bioconductor project [11 (link)]. The count matrix and metadata, including the gene model and sample information, are stored in an S4 class derived from the SummarizedExperiment class of the GenomicRanges package [60 (link)]. SummarizedExperiment objects containing count matrices can be easily generated using the summarizeOverlaps function of the GenomicAlignments package [61 ]. This workflow automatically stores the gene model as metadata and additionally other information such as the genome and gene annotation versions. Other methods to obtain count matrices include the htseq-count script [62 (link)] and the Bioconductor packages easyRNASeq [63 (link)] and featureCount [64 (link)]. The DESeq2 package comes with a detailed vignette, which works through a number of example differential expression analyses on real datasets, and the use of the rlog transformation for quality assessment and visualization. A single function, called DESeq, is used to run the default analysis, while lower-level functions are also available for advanced users.

Except for the novel paired-end functionality and support for alignments in BAM format, many of the genomic comparisons supported by BEDTools can be performed in one way or another with available web-based tools. However, BEDTools offers several important advantages. First, it can read data from standard input and write to standard output, which allows complex set operations to be performed by combining BEDTools operations with each other or with existing UNIX utilities. Second, most of the tools can distinguish DNA strands when searching for overlaps, which allows orientation to be considered when interpreting paired-end mapping or RNA-seq data. Third, the use of BEDTools mitigates the need to interact with local or public instances of the UCSC Genome Browser or Galaxy, which can be a major bottleneck when working with large genomics datasets. Finally, the speed and extensive functionality of BEDTools allow greater flexibility in defining and refining genomic comparisons. These features allow for diverse and complex comparisons to be made between ever-larger genomic datasets.

Non-A/C/G/T bases on reads are simply treated as mismatches, which is implicit in the algorithm (Fig. 3). Non-A/C/G/T bases on the reference genome are converted to random nucleotides. Doing so may lead to false hits to regions full of ambiguous bases. Fortunately, the chance that this may happen is very small given relatively long reads. We tried 2 million 32 bp reads and did not see any reads mapped to poly-N regions by chance.

ChIP-Seq data for three factors, NRSF, CTCF, and FoxA1, were used in this study. ChIP-chip and ChIP-Seq (2.2 million ChIP and 2.8 million control uniquely mapped reads, simplified as 'tags') data for NRSF in Jurkat T cells were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GSM210637) and Johnson et al. [8 (link)], respectively. ChIP-Seq (2.9 million ChIP tags) data for CTCF in CD4+ T cells were derived from Barski et al. [5 (link)]. ChIP-chip data for FoxA1 and controls in MCF7 cells were previously published [1 (link)], and their corresponding ChIP-Seq data were generated specifically for this study. Around 3 ng FoxA1 ChIP DNA and 3 ng control DNA were used for library preparation, each consisting of an equimolar mixture of DNA from three independent experiments. Libraries were prepared as described in [8 (link)] using a PCR preamplification step and size selection for DNA fragments between 150 and 400 bp. FoxA1 ChIP and control DNA were each sequenced with two lanes by the Illumina/Solexa 1G Genome Analyzer, and yielded 3.9 million and 5.2 million uniquely mapped tags, respectively.

Table 1 illustrates the wide range of operations that BEDTools support. Many of the tools have extensive parameters that allow user-defined overlap criteria and fine control over how results are reported. Importantly, we have also defined a concise format (BEDPE) to facilitate comparisons of discontinuous features (e.g. paired-end sequence reads) to each other (pairToPair), and to genomic features in traditional BED format (pairToBed). This functionality is crucial for interpreting genomic rearrangements detected by paired-end mapping, and for identifying fusion genes or alternative splicing patterns by RNA-seq. To facilitate comparisons with data produced by current DNA sequencing technologies, intersectBed and pairToBed compute overlaps between sequence alignments in BAM format (Li et al., 2009 (link)), and a general purpose tool is provided to convert BAM alignments to BED format, thus facilitating the use of BAM alignments with all other BEDTools (Table 1). The following examples illustrate the use of intersectBed to isolate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that overlap with genes, pairToBed to create a BAM file containing only those alignments that overlap with exons and intersectBed coupled with samtools to create a SAM file of alignments that do not intersect (-v) with repeats.

Utilities in bold support sequence alignments in BAM. Utilities with an asterisk were compared with Galaxy and found to yield identical results.
Other notable tools include coverageBed, which calculates the depth and breadth of genomic coverage of one feature set (e.g. mapped sequence reads) relative to another; shuffleBed, which permutes the genomic positions of BED features to allow calculations of statistical enrichment; mergeBed, which combines overlapping features; and utilities that search for nearby yet non-overlapping features (closestBed and windowBed). BEDTools also includes utilities for extracting and masking FASTA sequences (Pearson and Lipman, 1988 (link)) based upon BED intervals. Tools with similar functionality to those provided by Galaxy were directly compared for correctness using the ‘knownGene’ and ‘RepeatMasker’ tracks from the hg19 build of the human genome. The results from all analogous tools were found to be identical (Table 1).

TbpB and NMB0313 genes were amplified from the genome of Neisseria meningitidis serotype B strain B16B6. The LbpB gene was amplified from Neisseria meningitidis serotype B strain MC58. Full length TbpB was inserted into Multiple Cloning Site 2 of pETDuet using restriction free cloning ((F van den Ent, J. Löwe, Journal of Biochemical and Biophysical Methods (Jan. 1, 2006)).). NMB0313 was inserted into pET26, where the native signal peptide was replaced by that of pelB. Mutations and truncations were performed on these vectors using site directed mutagenesis and restriction free cloning, respectively. Pairs of vectors were transformed into E. coli C43 and were grown overnight in LB agar plates supplemented with kanamycin (50 μg/mL) and ampicillin (100 μg/mL).
tbpB genes were amplified from the genomes of M. catarrhalis strain 035E and H. influenzae strain 86-028NP and cloned into the pET52b plasmid by restriction free cloning as above. The corresponding SLAMs (M. catarrhalis SLAM 1, H. influenzae SLAM1) were inserted into pET26b also using restriction free cloning. A 6His-tag was inserted between the pelB and the mature SLAM sequences as above. Vectors were transformed into E. coli C43 as above.
Cells were harvested by centrifugation at 4000 g and were twice washed with 1 mL PBS to remove any remaining growth media. Cells were then incubated with either 0.05-0.1 mg/mL biotinylated human transferrin (Sigma-aldrich T3915-5 MG), α-TbpB (1:200 dilution from rabbit serum for M. catarrhalis and H. influenzae; 1:10000 dilution from rabbit serum for N. meningitidis), or α-LbpB (1:10000 dilution from rabbit serum-obtained a gift from J. Lemieux) or α-fHbp (1:5000 dilution from mouse, a gift from D. Granoff) for 1.5 hours at 4° C., followed by two washes with 1 mL of PBS. The cells were then incubated with R-Phycoerythrin-conjugated Streptavidin (0.5 mg/ml Cedarlane) or R-phycoerythrin conjugated Anti-rabbit IgG (Stock 0.5 mg/ml Rockland) at 25 ug/mL for 1.5 hours at 4° C. The cells were then washed with 1 mL PBS and resuspended in 200 uL fixing solution (PBS+2% formaldehyde) and left for 20 minutes. Finally, cells were washed with 2×1 mL PBS and transferred to 5 mL polystyrene FACS tubes. The PE fluorescence of each sample was measured for PE fluorescence using a Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur. The results were analyzed using FLOWJO software and were presented as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) for each sample. For N. meningtidis experiments, all samples were compared to wildtype strains by normalizing wildtype fluorescent signals to 100%. Errors bars represent the standard error of the mean (SEM) across three experiments. Results were plotted statistically analysed using GraphPad Prism 5 software. The results shown in FIG. 6 for the SLPs, TbpB (FIG. 6A), LbpB. (FIG. 6B) and fHbp (FIG. 6C) demonstrate that SLAM effects translocation of all three SLP polypeptides in E. coli. The results shown in FIG. 10 demonstrate that translocation of TbpB from M. catarrhalis (FIG. 10C) and in H. influenzae (FIG. 10D) in E. coli require the co-expression of the required SLAM protein (Slam is an outer membrane protein that is required for the surface display of lipidated virulence factors in Neisseria.

iPS cells were prepared according to protocols known in the art and seeded in a Geltrex®-Matrix coated 12-well culture dish. Transfection was performed in iPSCs with 3 ul of Lipofectamine® 2000 or 3 ul of Lipofectamine® 3000 as indicated and according to manufacturer's instructions, to deliver a GeneArt® CRISPR Nuclease vector targeting the HPRT locus. Transfection was also performed with GeneArt® CRISPR Nuclease RNA editing system targeting the HPRT locus and 3 ul of Formulation 21 lipid aggregate complex. RNA editing system utilizes a Cas9 mRNA, which was prepared via in vitro transcription with the Ambion® mMESSAGE mMACHINE® Kit, and a gRNA which was transcribed using the Ambion® MEGAshortscript™ Kit. Cells were harvested 72-hours post-transfection and cleavage efficiency was determined using the GeneArt® Genomic Cleavage Detection Kit.
Results are shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, which clearly demonstrate that using an mRNA based form of Cas9 with a guide-RNA for gene editing with the lipid aggregates described herein for transfection results in at least 4-fold more targeted cleavage of the host cell genome when compared to standard DNA based editing approaches.

To identify genetic marker(s) associated with the ULA trait, test crosses of FC401 mutant #1 (MS4144) were made with variety Red Russian and the F1s were selfed to generate F2 seed. Three hundred and thirty seven F2 plants were grown in the field and the alkaloids were analyzed individually. Depending on the anatabine levels, the mapping populations were grouped into ULA plants and normal plants (FIG. 1). Genomic DNA from each of the plants was extracted individually. To run simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, DNA samples from 23 F2 ULA plants and 24 normal anatabine plants were pooled separately.
PCR reactions were performed in 25 μl final volumes which contained 25-50 ng of template DNA, 12.5 μl 2× Amplitag PCR master mix ((Applied Biosystems [ABI]), 0.2 μM labeled primers (ABI), 1 μl 100% DMSO (Fisher Scientific), and 8 μl H2O (DNase/RNase free). Thermocycling conditions consisted of a 15 min incubation at 95° C.; followed by 34 cycles of 1 min at 94° C., 2 min at 60° C., 1 min at 72° C.; with a final reaction step of 60° C. for 30 min. All completed PCR reactions were diluted 1:50 with deionized water. Two microliters of diluted product was then combined with 9.75 μl HiDi Formamide (ABI) and 0.25 μl GeneScan 500 LIZ (ABI) size standard. Fragment analyses were performed. Samples were separated using a 36 cm capillary array in an ABI 3730 DNA Analyzer. Generated amplicons were analyzed using the “Local Southern Method” and the default analysis settings within GeneMapper v. 3.5 software (ABI). Final allele calls were standardized to an internal DNA control and based on the ABI 3730 DNA Analyzer.

In selecting genomes for a given bacterial species where a SLAM homolog was identified, preference was given to reference genomes that contained fully sequenced genomes. SLAM homologs were identified using iterative Blast searches into closely related species to Neisseria to more distantly related species. For each of the SLAM homologs identified in these species, the corresponding genomic record (NCBI genome) was used to identify genes upstream and downstream along with their corresponding functional annotations (NCBI protein database, Ensembl bacteria). In a few cases, no genes were predicted upstream or downstream of the SLAM gene as they were too close to the beginning or end of the contig, respectively, and thus these sequences were ignored.
Neighbouring genes were analyzed for 1) an N-terminal lipobox motif (predicted using LipoP, SignalP), and 2) a solute binding protein, Tbp-like (InterPro signature: IPR or IPR011250), or pagP-beta barrel (InterPro signature: IPR011250) fold. If they contained these elements, we identified the adjacent genes as potential SLAM-dependent surface lipoproteins.
A putative SLAM (PM1515, SEQ ID NO: 1087) was identified in Pasteurella multocida using the Neisseria SLAM as a search. The putative SLAM (PM1515, SEQ ID NO: 1087) was adjacent to a newly predicted lipoprotein gene with unknown function (PM1514, SEQ ID NO: 1083) (FIG. 11A). The putative SLAM displayed 32% identity to N. meningitidis SLAM1 while the SLP showed no sequence similarity to known SLAM-dependent neisserial SLPs.
The putative SLAM (PM1515, SEQ ID NO: 1087) and its adjacent lipoprotein (PM1514, SEQ ID NO: 1083) were cloned into pET26b and pET52b, respectively, as previously described and transformed into E. coli C43 and grown overnight on LB agar supplemented with kanamycin (50 ug/ml) and ampicillin (100 ug/ml).
Cells were grown in auto-induction media for 18 hours at 37 C and then harvested, washed twice in PBS containing 1 mM MgCl2, and labeled with α-Flag (1:200, Sigma) for 1 hr at 4 C. The cells were then washed twice with PBS containing 1 mM MgCl2 and then labeled with R-PE conjugated α-mouse IgG (25 ug/mL, Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 1 hr at 4 C. following straining, cells were fixed in 2% formaldehyde for 20 minutes and further washed with PBS containing 1 mM MgCl2. Flow Cytometry was performed with a Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur and the results were analyzed using FLOWJO software. Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was calculated using at least three replicates was used to compare surface exposure the lipoprotein in strains either containing or lacking the putative SLAM (PM1515) and are shown in FIG. 11C and FIG. 11D. PM1514 could be detected on the surface of E. coli illustrating i) that SLAM can be used to identify SLPs and ii) that SLAM is required to translocate these SLPs to the surface of the cell—thus identifying a class of proteins call “SLAM-dependent surface lipoproteins”. Antibodies were raised against purified PmSLP (PM1514) and the protein was shown to be on the surface of Pasteurella multocida via PK shaving assays.
