Description
Background: Gene expression variation is a phenotypic trait of particular interest as it represents the initial link between genotype and other phenotypes. Analyzing how such variation apportions among and within groups allows for the evaluation of how genetic and environmental factors influence such traits. It also provides opportunities to identify genes and pathways that may have been influenced by non-neutral processes. Here we use a population genetics framework and next generation sequencing to evaluate how gene expression variation is apportioned among four human groups in a natural biological tissue, the placenta. Results: We estimate that on average, 33.2%, 58.9% and 7.8% of the placental transcriptome is explained by variation within individuals, among individuals and among human groups, respectively. Additionally, when technical and biological traits are included in models of gene expression they account for roughly 2% of total gene expression variation. Notably, the variation that is significantly different among groups is enriched in biological pathways associated with immune response, cell signaling and metabolism. Many biological traits demonstrated correlated changes in expression in numerous pathways of potential interest to clinicians and evolutionary biologists. Finally, we estimate that the majority of the human placental transcriptome (65% of expressed genes) exhibits expression profiles consistent with neutrality; the remainder are consistent with stabilizing selection (26%), directional selection (4.9%), or diversifying selection (4.8%). Conclusion: We apportion placental gene expression variation into individual, population and biological trait factors and identify how each influence the transcriptome. Additionally, we advance methods to associate expression profiles with different forms of selection. Overall design: Placental mRNA was sequenced on an Illumina GAIIx. Samples were derived from 4 human groups, 10 individuals per group, 2 samples per individual

Description
The first embryonic cell divisions rely on maternally stored mRNA and proteins. The zygotic genome is initially transcriptionally silenced and activated later in a process called zygotic genome activation (ZGA). ZGA in any species is still a poorly understood process; the timing of transcription onset is controversial and the identity of the first transcribed genes unclear. Zebrafish, Danio rerio, is a rapidly developing vertebrate model, which is accessible to experimentation and global studies before, during and after ZGA. Overall design: To accurately determine the onset of ZGA and to identify the first transcripts in zebrafish, we developed a metabolic labeling method, utilizing the ribonucleotide analog 4-thio-UTP, which allows efficient and specific affinity purification of newly transcribed RNA. Using deep sequencing, we characterized the onset of transcription in zebrafish embryos at 128-, 256-, and 512-cell stages. We identified 592 nuclear-encoded zygotically transcribed genes, comprising 670 transcript isoforms. Mitochondrial genomes were highly transcribed at all time points. Further, bioinformatic analysis revealed an enrichment of transcription factors and miRNAs among the newly transcribed genes, suggesting mechanistic roles for the early genes that are required to activate subsequent gene expression programs in development. Interestingly, analysis of gene-architecture revealed that zygotically transcribed genes are often intronless and short, reducing transcription and processing time of the transcript. The newly generated dataset enabled us to compare zygotically transcribed genes over a broad phylogenetic distance with fly and mouse early zygotic genes. This analysis revealed that short gene length is a common characteristic for early zygotically expressed genes. However, we detected a poor level of overlap for shared orthologs.

The earliest transcribed zygotic genes are short, newly evolved, and different across species.

Description
Uremic media calcification is not only driven by systemic factors such as hyperphosphatemia, but also crticially dependent on vascular smooth muscle cells per se. We hypothesized that the different developmental origins of vscular smooth muscle cells might lead to a heterogeneous susceptibility to develop media calcification.
