• Yale Center for Mendelian Genomics (YCMG)

  From 2012-2021, Yale University was home to one of four national centers created by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study the genetics of rare inherited diseases. Researchers at Yale University, University of Washington, the Broad Institute and a center operated jointly by Baylor University and Johns Hopkins University analyzed the genomes of thousands of patients who suffer from more than 6,000 rare Mendelian disorders affecting more than 25 million individuals in United States. The Centers for Mendelian Genomics (CMG) applied next-generation sequencing and computational approaches to discover the genes and variants that underlie Mendelian disorders. The discovery of new genes that cause Mendelian conditions expanded our understanding about their biology to facilitate their diagnosis, and potentially indicate new treatments. The CMG provided free exome sequencing and analysis to collaborating investigators for qualified phenotypes.

• The Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project

  The Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project (EPGP) is a large-scale, international, multi-institutional, collaborative research project, sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, designed to understand the genes that cause common and rare epilepsies. The overall goal of EPGP is to collect detailed, high quality phenotypic (i.e., characteristics of individuals, from the molecular level to the whole person) information on persons with epilepsy and to compare the phenotypic information with genomic information. 27 clinical centers enrolled more than 4,100 participants of families with epilepsy. EPGP will provide a resource that may lead to many discoveries related to the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, including the eventual development of new therapies based on a better understanding of causes of the disorder. Documents and questionnaires that provide context to the variables and measurements available through the current study, are available for download from EPGP: Download EPGP Forms.

• Consortium on Asthma among African-ancestry Populations in the Americas (CAAPA)

  Asthma is a complex disease where the interplay between genetic factors and environmental exposures influences susceptibility and disease prognosis. Asthmatics of African descent tend to have more severe asthma and more severe clinical symptoms than individuals of European ancestry. Advances in genetic and genomic technologies have revolutionized gene discovery for several complex diseases, but going to the next step in gene discovery for asthma among populations of African descent requires considering unique characteristics of this ethnic group, including adequate sample sizes and population stratification due to (European and African) admixture. Thus far, coverage of common genetic markers both in public databases and commercially available SNP chips has been inadequate to detect and measure genetic associations among African admixed populations. The aim of this study was therefore to catalog genetic diversity in populations of African descent, especially those whose ancestry reflects the African Diaspora in the Americas.

• Genomic Characterization CS-MATCH-0007 Arm Z1A

  The CS-MATCH-0007 protocol is part of a collaboration between the Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG) and the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) to perform whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing using pre-and post-treatment tumor biopsy specimens from patients enrolled on a treatment arm of the NCI-MATCH Clinical Trial (EAY131). The goal of this study is to identify the molecular basis for response and resistance to targeted therapies that are matched to specific genomic alterations found in their cancers. Arm Z1A is one of the treatment sub-protocols within the NCI-MATCH Clinical Trial (EAY131) where patients with NRAS mutations are treated with Binimetinib. This subprotocol is one of the treatment arms included in the CS-MATCH-0007 protocol and will provide specimens for the program including DNA from tumor tissue and whole blood.

• Location and Function of NSun2-Mediated Cytosine-5 Methylation in RNA and its Effect on Translation

  Mutations in the cytosine-5 RNA methyltransferase NSun2 can cause neurodevelopmental disorders and symptoms commonly found in patients with Dubowitz-like syndrome. Some tRNAs are known to be methylated NSun2, however the occurrence of cytosine-5 methylation (m5C) in other RNA biotypes is still under debate. Location in RNA and function of m5C has not been studied yet. This study is aimed at identifying new m5C methylated RNA biotypes, as well as the location at specific structures or sequences and the ultimate biological function. The impact of the loss of NSun2-mediated methylation is also determined by comparing gene expression data with the global cytosine-5 RNA methylome in Dubowitz-like syndrome patients. We also use ribosomal profiling to assess the impact of the loss and rescue of Nsun2-mediated cytosine-5 RNA methylation on translation rates and ribosome occupancy.

• Infant Immune Responses to Early Life Vaccinations

  Infants are vulnerable to life-threatening infections due to an immature immune system. For this reason, vaccinations are provided early in life to increase protection against infectious agents. However, there is a limited understanding on how routine vaccinations alter the different immune cell populations in infants. Here, we profiled peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from six 2-month-old infants at the time of their routine vaccinations. Infants received the standard vaccinations including DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis), IPV (inactivated polio vaccine), Hep B (hepatitis B), Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type B), Rotavirus, and PCV13 (pneumococcus conjugate vaccine). Samples were obtained before vaccination, and subsequently around one week, and two-month post-vaccination (n=18 samples). This study sheds light on the dynamic nature of the infant peripheral immune cell transcriptome upon initial routine vaccine exposure. The processed data is available on GEO under GSE204716.

• The Role of ZEB2 during Human Neural Crest Cell Formation

  This study examined the role of ZEB2 during human neural crest cell formation. Human neural crest cells were differentiated from WiCell H1 human embryonic stem cells (WA01). Genome-wide transcriptional analysis (RNA-seq) was performed at day-3 and day-5 of human neural crest cell formation following siRNA knockdown of ZEB2 and using an N-terminal ZEB2 mutant H1 human embryonic stem cell line generated using CRISPR genome editing. RNA-seq was also performed on edited and unedited H1 human embryonic stem cells. ATAC-seq analysis was performed at day-3 and day-5 human neural crest differentiated from the N-terminal ZEB2 mutant embryonic stem cell line. Together, these data reveal the regulatory role of ZEB2 in the human neural crest gene regulatory network. We provide raw sequencing files for all RNA-seq and ATAC-seq samples.
