Abstract

Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was used to isolate genes that were differentially expressed in anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive and ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma. In addition, this approach was applied to Hodgkin's disease cases with different clinical outcomes. SSH combines a normalization step that equalizes the abundance of cDNAs within the sequences to be tested and a subtraction step that excludes the common sequences between the target and the control. In a model system, the SSH technique enriches for rare sequences up to 5,000-fold in one round. We have isolated several genes whose expression varied significantly with regard to the tumour subtypes. There were different genes with known or unknown functions. We aim to compare the results of the SSH approach with those obtained with high density filters. In a near future, we would like to design DNA chips specific of each pathology that could be used for clinical purposes (evaluation of prognosis and therapeutic response).

Protocol to predict gene expression from transcriptomic data using PREDICT.

Linking DNA sequence variation to context-specific transcriptional programs is a critical challenge in regulatory genomics, especially for non-model organisms. Here, we present PREDICT, a modular Python package for discovering cis-regulatory elements and transcription factor binding motifs. We describe steps to identify enriched k-mers from differentially expressed genes, map them to known motifs, quantify their impact on gene expression, and visualize motif co-occurrences. PREDICT provides a robust, k-mer-based approach to uncover regulatory logic in diverse genomic systems. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Yen et al. and Liu et al.1,2.

De novo transcriptome assembly and gene expression analysis of Cnidium officinale under high-temperature conditions.

BACKGROUND: The medicinal plant Cnidium officinale (CO) is widespread in Northeast Asia and vulnerable to heat stress. The naturally occurring composition of pharmacological ingredients of CO results in overall physiological consequences; therefore, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of metabolic response to ambient heat in terms of acclimation to estimate how much CO is exposed to threatening environmental conditions. RESULTS: Transcriptome analysis is critical for understanding the consequences of long-term physiological adaptation of CO to abiotic stress. However, transcriptome analysis on this species, particularly under prolonged stress conditions, has remained limited. We employed a temperature gradient tunnel (TGT) to subject CO to high-temperature exposure for four months, enabling us to observe the cumulative effects of heat and assess its acclimation mechanisms. In the absence of genome sequencing data, we performed de novo transcriptome assembly and compared DEGs from temperature treatment plots of a TGT and a growth chamber (GC). Since interpreting transcriptomic data can be complex, we employed a sequential analytical approach, including DEG clustering, GO enrichment, KEGG pathway mapping, miRNA-target gene analysis, and multiple rounds of RNA sequencing validation. DEGs were classified into two categories: genes exhibiting significant fold changes and genes showing significant count changes rather than fold changes. Then, we analyzed the functional roles of DEGs to determine which pathways respond to ambient and stressful high temperatures and validated the findings through cross-comparison with GC. Additionally, we conducted miRNA analysis to investigate post-transcriptional regulation under high temperatures. CO grown under higher ambient temperatures exhibited slight upregulation of pathways related to protein stability and turnover, ABA biosynthesis, and energy production, such as photosynthesis and oxidative phosphorylation. However, under extreme heat stress, most metabolic pathways were downregulated except for those involved in transcription, translation, oxidative phosphorylation and the biosynthesis of cutin, suberin, and wax. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that proper clustering of genes based on expression levels and fold changes in two different experimental conditions, along with pathway mapping, may provide a comprehensive understanding of CO's response to heat stress. These insights could contribute to future research on heat tolerance and crop improvement.

PoweREST: Statistical power estimation for spatial transcriptomics experiments to detect differentially expressed genes between two conditions.

Recent advancements in spatial transcriptomics (ST) have significantly enhanced biological research in various domains. However, the high cost for current ST data generation techniques restricts the large-scale application of ST. Consequently, maximization of the use of available resources to achieve robust statistical power for ST data is a pressing need. One fundamental question in ST analysis is detection of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) under different conditions using ST data. Such DEG analyses are performed frequently, but their power calculations are rarely discussed in the literature. To address this gap, we developed PoweREST, a power estimation tool designed to support the power calculation for DEG detection with 10X Genomics Visium data. PoweREST enables power estimation both before any ST experiments and after preliminary data are collected, making it suitable for a wide variety of power analyses in ST studies. We also provide a user-friendly, program-free web application that allows users to interactively calculate and visualize study power along with relevant parameters.
