Mapping and analysis of chromatin state dynamics in nine human cell types
Open accessAbstract
Chromatin profiling has emerged as a powerful means of genome annotation and detection of regulatory activity. The approach is especially well suited to the characterization of non-coding portions of the genome, which critically contribute to cellular phenotypes yet remain largely uncharted. Here we map nine chromatin marks across nine cell types to systematically characterize regulatory elements, their cell-type specificities and their functional interactions. Focusing on cell-type-specific patterns of promoters and enhancers, we define multicell activity profiles for chromatin state, gene expression, regulatory motif enrichment and regulator expression. We use correlations between these profiles to link enhancers to putative target genes, and predict the cell-type-specific activators and repressors that modulate them. The resulting annotations and regulatory predictions have implications for the interpretation of genome-wide association studies. Top-scoring disease single nucleotide polymorphisms are frequently positioned within enhancer elements specifically active in relevant cell types, and in some cases affect a motif instance for a predicted regulator, thus suggesting a mechanism for the association. Our study presents a general framework for deciphering cis-regulatory connections and their roles in disease.

In the citing paper
“Currently mono-methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me1), associated with the binding of Trithorax/MLL complexes, is taken to be the hallmark of both ‘primed’ and active enhancers, whilst active enhancers additionally tend to associate with the acetylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27ac) [133–137].”

“ChIPseq using antibodies to H3K4Me3, a mark associated with active promoter sites (Ernst et al., 2011), and to H3K27Ac, a mark associated with enhancer elements (Heintzman et al., 2009), demonstrated mapped read peaks corresponding to at least four major transcriptional start sites within the SYNE1 locus (P1–P4), one of which (P3) lies immediately upstream of the p.L3206M mutation (Figure 3E).”

“This mystery, which we will call the enhancer-gene specificity conundrum, is important to solve because the majority of disease-associated non-coding variation occurs in the vicinity of enhancers and thus likely impacts these enhancers’ target genes (Ernst et al., 2011; Farh et al., 2015; Hnisz et al., 2013; Maurano et al., 2012).”

“Tens of thousands of non-coding genetic variants have been linked with various human diseases and traits in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and the majority of these variants occur in enhancers (Ernst et al., 2011; Farh et al., 2015; Hnisz et al., 2013; Maurano et al., 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
