    Abstract Transcription start site (TSS) usage is a critical factor in the regulation of gene expression. A number of methods for global TSS mapping have been developed, but barriers of expense, technical difficulty, time, and/or cost have limited their broader adoption. To address these issues, we developed Survey of TRanscription Initiation at Promoter Elements with high-throughput sequencing (STRIPE-seq). Requiring only three enzymatic steps with intervening bead cleanups, a STRIPE-seq library can be prepared from as little as 50 ng total RNA in ~5 h at a cost of ~$12 (US). In addition to profiling TSS usage, STRIPE-seq provides information on transcript levels that can be used for differential expression analysis. Thanks to its simplicity and low cost, we envision that STRIPE-seq could be employed by any molecular biology laboratory interested in profiling transcription initiation.

    Abstract Transcription start site (TSS) selection influences transcript stability and translation as well as protein sequence. Alternative TSS usage is pervasive in organismal development, is a major contributor to transcript isoform diversity in humans, and is frequently observed in human diseases including cancer. In this review, we discuss the breadth of techniques that have been used to globally profile TSSs and the resulting insights into gene regulation, as well as future prospects in this area of inquiry.

    Abstract Motivation: Methods for the global measurement of transcript abundance such as microarrays and RNA-Seq generate datasets in which the number of measured features far exceeds the number of observations. Extracting biologically meaningful and experimentally tractable insights from such data therefore requires high-dimensional prediction. Existing sparse linear approaches to this challenge have been stunningly successful, but some important issues remain. These methods can fail to select the correct features, predict poorly relative to non-sparse alternatives or ignore any unknown grouping structures for the features.
    Results: We propose a method called SuffPCR that yields improved predictions in high-dimensional tasks including regression and classification, especially in the typical context of omics with correlated features. SuffPCR first estimates sparse principal components and then estimates a linear model on the recovered subspace. Because the estimated subspace is sparse in the features, the resulting predictions will depend on only a small subset of genes. SuffPCR works well on a variety of simulated and experimental transcriptomic data, performing nearly optimally when the model assumptions are satisfied. We also demonstrate near-optimal theoretical guarantees.

    Abstract Regulation of RNA polymerase II transcription requires the concerted efforts of several multisubunit coactivator complexes, which interact with the RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex to stimulate transcription. We previously showed that separation of the Mediator core from Mediator's tail module results in modest overactivation of genes annotated as highly dependent on TFIID for expression. However, it is unclear if other coactivators are involved in this phenomenon. Here, we show that the overactivation of certain genes by Mediator core/tail separation is blunted by disruption of the Spt-Ada-Gcn5-Acetyl transferase complex through the removal of its structural Spt20 subunit, though this downregulation does not appear to completely depend on reduced Spt-Ada-Gcn5-Acetyl transferase association with the genome. Consistent with the enrichment of TFIID-dependent genes among genes overactivated by Mediator core/tail separation, depletion of the essential TFIID subunit Taf13 suppressed the overactivation of these genes when Med16 was simultaneously removed. As with Spt-Ada-Gcn5-Acetyl transferase, this effect did not appear to be fully dependent on the reduced genomic association of TFIID. Given that the observed changes in gene expression could not be clearly linked to alterations in Spt-Ada-Gcn5-Acetyl transferase or TFIID occupancy, our data may suggest that the Mediator core/tail connection is important for the modulation of Spt-Ada-Gcn5-Acetyl transferase and/or TFIID conformation and/or function at target genes.

    Abstract Interactions between regulatory proteins and specific genomic regions are critical for all chromatin-based processes, including transcription, DNA replication, and DNA repair. Genome-wide mapping of such interactions is most commonly performed with chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq), but a number of orthogonal methods employing targeted enzymatic activity have also been introduced. We previously described a genome-wide implementation of chromatin endogenous cleavage (ChEC-Seq), wherein a protein of interest is fused to micrococcal nuclease (MNase) to enable targeted, calcium-dependent genomic cleavage. Here, we describe the ChEC-Seq protocol for use in budding yeast though it can be used in other organisms in conjunction with appropriate methods for introduction of an MNase fusion protein.

    Abstract The Mediator coactivator complex is divided into four modules: head, middle, tail, and kinase. Deletion of the architectural subunit Med16 separates core Mediator (cMed), comprising the head, middle, and scaffold (Med14), from the tail. However, the direct global effects of tail/cMed disconnection are unclear. We find that rapid depletion of Med16 downregulates genes that require the SAGA complex for full expression, consistent with their reported tail dependence, but also moderately overactivates TFIID-dependent genes in a manner partly dependent on the separated tail, which remains associated with upstream activating sequences. Suppression of TBP dynamics via removal of the Mot1 ATPase partially restores normal transcriptional activity to Med16-depleted cells, suggesting that cMed/tail separation results in an imbalance in the levels of PIC formation at SAGA-requiring and TFIID-dependent genes. We propose that the preferential regulation of SAGA-requiring genes by tailed Mediator helps maintain a proper balance of transcription between these genes and those more dependent on TFIID.

    Abstract Mediator is a conserved and essential coactivator complex broadly required for RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription. Recent genome-wide studies of Mediator binding in budding yeast have revealed new insights into the functions of this critical complex and raised new questions about its role in the regulation of gene expression.

    Abstract Gene drives are selfish genetic elements that use a variety of mechanisms to ensure they are transmitted to subsequent generations at greater than expected frequencies. Synthetic gene drives based on the clustered regularly interspersed palindromic repeats (CRISPR) genome editing system have been proposed as a way to alter the genetic characteristics of natural populations of organisms relevant to the goals of public health, conservation, and agriculture. Here, we review the principles and potential applications of CRISPR drives, as well as means proposed to prevent their uncontrolled spread. We also focus on recent work suggesting that factors such as natural genetic variation and inbreeding may represent substantial impediments to the propagation of CRISPR drives.
