TGAC NCG: National Genomics Facility

Description	Within the two years of funding and with support from the National Capability (NCG1), EI has delivered a range of resources to mitigate the impact of Ash Die Back disease disease on this species. This includes two high-quality genome sequence assemblies from tolerant and less tolerant trees, allowing the study of phenotypic variation. These assembly required development a new method adapted to species with high levels of heterozygosity. Our data was released into the public domain through the main NORNEX consortium webpage to promote crowdsourcing analysis, and was also provided to researchers as an online BLAST service. has been used to better understand resistance of Ash trees is being used to understand resistance and guide reforestation strategy. One wheat genome sequencing is being used to identify markers for new breeding programs and the algorithms developed are being deployed in contact research for industry and thereby generating income to further support our capability. The media campaign about this project was awarded a special commendation in the BBSRC Excellence with Impact competition 2016, for its publicity and outreach campaign reaching 1 million readers. Furthermore the expertise at EI is disseminated through our training programs and thereby helping to fill skills gaps in the bioscience community.

Title	Development of ChIP-Seq protocols in bread wheat
Description	The investigation of epigenetic marks enables deeper understanding of the gene expression regulation and the annotation of non coding functional sequences. Histone modifications (methylation, acetylation) are among the epigenetic marks most commonly assayed and specific modifications can be associated with biochemical activity (transcription, repression) and genomic elements (enhancers, promoters, coding regions). The protocols for chromatin immunoprecipation and sequencing have previously been developed for the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana, but never successfully applied to complex plant genomes such as the bread wheat. The protocols aimed to 1) improve the efficiency of chromatin extraction, 2) assay the antibodies, 3) evaluate yield and suitability of different tissues (leaves, root, spikelet, internode) fresh or frozen.
Type Of Material	Technology assay or reagent
Year Produced	2018
Provided To Others?	No
Impact	The protocols will enable in depth understanding of gene expression regulation in bread wheat and relative crops. The protocols will directly be used to deliver objectives within the Designing Future Wheat (BBS/E/T/000PR9783), Signatures of Domestication and Adaptation (BBS/E/T/000PR9818), Regulatory interactions and Complex Phenotypes (BBS/E/T/000PR9819) awards.

Over two workshops, attended by young people aged 12-18 (along with some parents), participants were given an introduction to the potential of modern genome sequencing and how we can use the wealth of information gleaned from it in order to better understand, and improve our food. The attendees were enthused and inspired about the topic of food security and how modern techniques mean that DNA sequencing can be performed cheaper and faster than ever before.

Geographic Reach	International

Results and Impact	Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and the subsequent reduction in cost have enabled the research community to sequence the genomes of many non-model organisms. Genome assemblies using next generation technologies such as Illumina show high quality nucleotide level information, but are fragmented due to the inability to retain contiguity. The absence of low-cost methods for creating high quality genome sequences from a wide range of organisms currently hampers the generation of de novo genomes for comparative genomic studies, and new methodologies and data types need to be tested to achieve this goal. We have integrated NGS with nano-channel genome mapping and developed the PCR-free Discovar Assembly BioNano Scaffolding (PDABS) pipeline to assemble cheap, contiguous and robust genomes.

Geographic Reach	International

Results and Impact	The domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) models biological processes that are highly relevant to human disease and health research such as influenza, cystic fibrosis and asthma. The recently completed draft of the ferret genome and associated annotation project (Peng et al 2014) allows us to extend research and examine the domestication of the ferret. Most domestic animals were domesticated ~10,000 years ago, but the history of the ferret's domestication is uncertain. It is likely that ferrets have been domesticated for at least 2,000 years, a similar time to the domestication of the rabbit, of which the ferret was domesticated to hunt. We have sequenced the genomes of a further eight domestic ferrets along with 12 European Polecats (M. putorius), 2 Steppe Polecats (M. eversmanii) and 4 Black-footed Ferrets (M. nigripes). In order to examine the genetics underpinning ferret domestication and compare the genomes of domestic and wild ancestor, we first need to identify the ancestral species of the domestic ferret, the identification of which is not fully resolved.

Form Of Engagement Activity	A talk or presentation
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	International
Primary Audience	Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact	The ferret (Mustela putorius furo) models biological processes that are highly relevant to human disease and health research such as influenza, cystic fibrosis (CF) and asthma. Since CF is a multi-organ disorder, research using CF ferrets span a range of organs, thus the impact of research in this model is broad and allows for the analysis of early stages of the diseases. The recently completed draft of the ferret genome has allowed us to look more closely into ferret domestication and examine the underpinning processes of domestication from the ancestral European Polecat (M. putorius). We have sequenced eight domestic ferrets genomes and will sequence samples from European Polecat. Beneficial genetic variants increase in frequency due to positive selection together with linked neutral variants resulting in genomic islands of reduced heterozygosity between populations. By examining fixation indexes and heterozygosity between wild and domestic ferrets we can find genomic regions that have undergone selective sweeps. Using whole genome sequencing also allows us to leverage the ferret genome sequence to look into the genetic diversity and evolution of other species of wild Mustelidae. The current population of the endangered Black-footed Ferret (M. nigripes) from North America stems from only seven individuals. Using whole genome sequencing of Black-footed Ferrets from both before and after the population crash we will identify genetic diversity not present in the current population with a view to reintroducing it via genome editing technology. About two million years ago, the ancestral species of modern day Steppe Polecats (M. eversmanni) from Asia entered North America via the Bering Land Bridge and speciated into what is now Black-footed Ferret. Using a reference-free unbiased kmer approach, we will examine how closely-related Steppe Polecat is to both Black-footed Ferret and its sister species the European Polecat.

Genome editing techniques, 5. Germ cell transfer techniques, 6. (Much later) great auk release into the wild, 7. Ethical and ecological considerations. Proposed structure of the project: In order to maintain this project's independence, and because it is probably too speculative and risky for public funding, it is the intention that the project will be carried forward initially with private funding. If, following the June meeting, we decide to go ahead, then a charitable foundation may be established to run the project.

Form Of Engagement Activity	A talk or presentation
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	International
Primary Audience	Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact	Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and the subsequent reduction in cost have enabled the research community to sequence the genomes of many non-model organisms. Genome assemblies using next generation technologies such as Illumina show high quality nucleotide level information, but are fragmented due to the inability to retain contiguity. The absence of low-cost methods for creating high quality genome sequences from a wide range of organisms currently hampers the generation of de novo genomes for comparative genomic studies, and new methodologies and data types need to be tested to achieve this goal. We have integrated NGS with nano-channel genome mapping and developed the PCR-free Discovar Assembly BioNano Scaffolding (PDABS) pipeline to assemble cheap, contiguous and robust genomes.

Results and Impact	Traditionally, bioinformatics tools and training programs have focused on life science audiences. Though heterogeneous, their needs are at least fairly well understood. Driven by the impact of technology in diverse areas, bioinformatics is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, and, in parallel, so too are the audiences seeking bioinformatics training. Audiences as disparate as physicians and lawyers, industry, and even the general public, previously without real need of bioinformatics skills or awareness, are now pursuing an understanding of and skill sets in bioinformatics.

Results and Impact	A recent breakthrough in identifying resistance to an important global disease of potatoes has opened the door for rapid improvement of crops to prevent losses, published in Nature Biotechnology. Potato late blight (Phytophthora infestans) is a severe threat to the production of potatoes and tomatoes worldwide, and the cause of the Irish Famine - one of the worst in human history. Potatoes are one of the most widely grown crops, thus finding ways to combat this disease is of paramount importance for world food production. Scientists from the Earlham Institute (EI) and The Sainsbury Laboratory (TSL) have developed a faster and more efficient system of identifying and cloning resistance (R) genes from wild potato species to P. infestans. Using a combination of next generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics techniques, this will pave the way for more effective crop improvement to withstand this global threat to agriculture.

Results and Impact	The Wheat Data Interoperability Working Group aims to provide a common framework for describing, representing linking and publishing Wheat data with respect to open standards.Such a framework will promote and sustain Wheat data sharing, reusability and operability. Specifying the Wheat linked data framework will come with many questions: which (minimal) metadata to describe which type of data? Which vocabularies/ontologies/formats? Which good practices? Mainly based on the the needs of the Wheat initiatiative Information System (WheatIS) in terms of functionalities and data types, the working group will identify relevant use cases in order to produce a "cookbook" on how to produce "wheat data" that are easily shareable, reusable and interoperable. This meeting saw the maturation of the Working Group into a Maintenance Group, showing that we have moved from an inception phase to an implementation phase, promoting the outputs of the WG (the Wheat Data Interoperability guidelines) to users.

Results and Impact	The University of East Anglia were in the preliminary phases of determining whether or not UEA should found a School of Veterinary Medicine, with intention to submit a detailed plan to UEA Council in October. If opened, the school would be research-led and research-intensive. As such the considered that it should be an integrated part of the Norwich Research Park's research agenda - designed from the outset to link into existing areas of strength in basic, translational and clinical research. As one of the leaders of the NRP-wide research agenda I was invited, to a research workshop with the following aims: 1. Outline progress to date with planning of the school (30 min) 2. Small group work to determine areas (if any) in which the new school could position its research in order to maximise links with NRP institutes (60 min) 3. Open discussion

Results and Impact	Federica Di Palma gave a talk on "Evolution of tissue-specific regulatory programs in cichlids". In vertebrates, the East African cichlid radiations represent arguably the most dramatic examples of adaptive speciation. In the great lakes Victoria, Malawi and Tanganyika and within the last few million years, one or a few ancestral lineages of haplochromine cichlid fish have given rise to over 1500 species exhibiting an unprecedented diversity of morphological and ecological adaptations. Such explosive phenotypic diversification of East African cichlids is unparalleled among vertebrates and the low protein divergence between species implies the rapid evolution of regulatory regions and networks underlying the traits under selection. Comparative functional genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics are powerful tools to study the evolution of tissue and species divergence. We recently developed Arboretum, an algorithm to identify modules of co-expressed genes across multiple species in a phylogeny. By integrating inferred modules with nucleotide variation, predicted cis regulatory elements and miRNA profiles from five East African Cichlids, we investigated the evolution of tissue-specific gene regulation. Our analyses identified modules with tissue-specific patterns for which we reconstructed the evolutionary gene regulatory networks across the five cichlids species. We report striking cases of rapid network rewiring for genes known to be involved in traits under natural and/or sexual selection such as the visual systems, and more specifically a cone opsin (sws2a) responsible for colour vison of selected cichlid fishes. Furthermore, in-depth analyses of regulons (transcription factor - target interactions, e.g. Egr3) show similar rapid species-specific rewiring. Investigation of these novel interactions in Astatotilapia burtoni, a model species for behaviour evolution, reveal significant enrichment for genes involved in neuronal and brain function. Our unique integrative approach that interrogates the evolution of regulatory networks allowed us to identify the rapid regulatory changes associated with certain traits under selection in cichlids.

Results and Impact	TGAC (EI) opened its doors to female students, who were shown just what is possible for women in science. The girls were from the local area, which is relatively disadvantaged, but they were part of a high school IT club so were slightly interested in computers. We showed them the data centre and the lab, and did specific activities with them involving some of our female members of staff. Importantly, the girls fed back to us that they would really consider a career in tech, and we gained some good publicity for the event in local and national media channels.
