Congenital heart diseases (CHDs), including hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), are genetically complex and poorly understood. Here, a multidisciplinary platform was established to functionally evaluate novel CHD gene candidates, based on whole-genome and iPSC RNA sequencing of a HLHS family-trio. Filtering for rare variants and altered expression in proband iPSCs prioritized 10 candidates. siRNA/RNAi-mediated knockdown in healthy human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM) and in developing Drosophila and zebrafish hearts revealed that LDL receptor-related protein LRP2 is required for cardiomyocyte proliferation and differentiation. Consistent with hypoplastic heart defects, compared to patents the proband's iPSC-CMs exhibited reduced proliferation. Interestingly, rare, predicted-damaging LRP2 variants were enriched in a HLHS cohort; however, understanding their contribution to HLHS requires further investigation. Collectively, we have established a multi-species high-throughput platform to rapidly evaluate candidate genes and their interactions during heart development, which are crucial first steps toward deciphering oligogenic underpinnings of CHDs, including hypoplastic left hearts.

ExAc (tool)

RRID:SCR_004068

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 9, 2023. An aggregated data platform for genome sequencing data created by a coalition of investigators seeking to aggregate and harmonize exome sequencing data from a variety of large-scale sequencing projects, and to make summary data available for the wider scientific community. The data set provided on this website spans 61,486 unrelated individuals sequenced as part of various disease-specific and population genetic studies. They have removed individuals affected by severe pediatric disease, so this data set should serve as a useful reference set of allele frequencies for severe disease studies. All of the raw data from these projects have been reprocessed through the same pipeline, and jointly variant-called to increase consistency across projects. They ask that you not publish global (genome-wide) analyses of these data until after the ExAC flagship paper has been published, estimated to be in early 2015. If you''re uncertain which category your analyses fall into, please email them. The aggregation and release of summary data from the exomes collected by the Exome Aggregation Consortium has been approved by the Partners IRB (protocol 2013P001477, Genomic approaches to gene discovery in rare neuromuscular diseases).

PRISM (tool)

RRID:SCR_005375

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 5,2022.Tool that predicts interactions between transcription factors and their regulated genes from binding motifs. Understanding vertebrate development requires unraveling the cis-regulatory architecture of gene regulation. PRISM provides accurate genome-wide computational predictions of transcription factor binding sites for the human and mouse genomes, and integrates the predictions with GREAT to provide functional biological context. Together, accurate computational binding site prediction and GREAT produce for each transcription factor: 1. putative binding sites, 2. putative target genes, 3. putative biological roles of the transcription factor, and 4. putative cis-regulatory elements through which the factor regulates each target in each functional role.

TIGR Plant Transcript Assembly database (tool)

RRID:SCR_005470

The TIGR database is a collection of plant transcript sequences. Transcript assemblies are searchable using BLAST and accession number. The construction of plant transcript assemblies (TAs) is similar to the TIGR gene indices. The sequences that are used to build the plant TAs are expressed transcripts collected from dbEST (ESTs) and the NCBI GenBank nucleotide database (full length and partial cDNAs). "Virtual" transcript sequences derived from whole genome annotation projects are not included. All plant species for which more than 1,000 ESTs or cDNA sequences are available are included in this project. TAs are clustered and assembled using the TGICL tool (Pertea et al., 2003), Megablast (Zhang et al., 2000) and the CAP3 assembler (Huang and Madan, 1999). TGICL is a wrapper script which invokes Megablast and CAP3. Sequences are initially clustered based on an all-against-all comparisons using Megablast. The initial clusters are assembled to generate consensus sequences using CAP3. Assembly criteria include a 50 bp minimum match, 95% minimum identity in the overlap region and 20 bp maximum unmatched overhangs. Any EST/cDNA sequences that are not assembled into TAs are included as singletons. All singletons retain their GenBank accession numbers as identifiers. Plant TA identifiers are of the form TAnumber_taxonID, where number is a unique numerical identifier of the transcript assembly and taxonID represents the NCBI taxon id. In order to provide annotation for the TAs, each TA/singleton was aligned to the UniProt Uniref database. For release 1 TAs, a masked version of the Uniref90 database was used. For release 2 and onwards, a masked version of the UniRef100 database is used. Alignments were required to have at least 20% identity and 20% coverage. The annotation for the protein with the best alignment to each TA or singleton was used as the annotation for that sequence. Additionally, the relative orientation of each TA/singleton to the best matching protein sequence was used to determine the orientation of each TA/singleton. Some sequences did not have alignments to the protein database that met our quality criteria, and those sequences have neither annotation nor orientation assignments. The release number for the plant TAs refers to the release version for a particular species. For the initial build, all TA sets are of version 1. Subsequent TA updates for new releases will be carried out when the percentage increase of the EST and cDNA counts exceeds 10% of the previous release and when the increase contains more than 1,000 new sequences. New releases will also include additional plant species with more than 1,000 EST or cDNA sequences that have become publicly available.
