Atlas and developmental dynamics of mouse DNase I hypersensitive sites
bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)(2020)
摘要
Early mammalian development is orchestrated by genome-encoded regulatory elements populated by a changing complement of regulatory factors, creating a dynamic chromatin landscape. To define the spatiotemporal organization of regulatory DNA landscapes during mouse development and maturation, we generated nucleotide-resolution DNA accessibility maps from 15 tissues sampled at 9 intervals spanning post-conception day 9.5 through early adult, and integrated these with 41 adult-stage DNase-seq profiles to create a global atlas of mouse regulatory DNA. Collectively, we delineated >1.8 million DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs), with the vast majority displaying temporal and tissue-selective patterning. Here we show that tissue regulatory DNA compartments show sharp embryonic-to-fetal transitions characterized by wholesale turnover of DHSs and progressive domination by a diminishing number of transcription factors. We show further that aligning mouse and human fetal development on a regulatory axis exposes disease-associated variation enriched in early intervals lacking human samples. Our results provide an expansive new resource for decoding mammalian developmental regulatory programs.
