Talk abstract: Large-scale genetic studies have now identified h
undreds of common and rare variants associated with neurodevelopmental and
psychiatric disorders. However\, interpretation of the biological functiona
l impact and pathogenicity of these variants remains a critical obstacle hi
ndering clinical translation. To address this challenge\, we have developed
a large-scale functional genomic atlas of human brain development\, integr
ating genotype and RNA-sequencing based gene expression measures in >650 de
veloping human brains. In parallel\, we have performed high depth long-read
sequencing in a subset of samples to capture the full complexity of altern
ative splicing and isoform diversity. Leveraging this resource has enabled
prioritization of previously hidden candidate molecular mechanisms underlyi
ng genetic risk for autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia\, with a su
bstantial fraction acting through dysregulation of alternative splicing.

In-person only: Couch Building\, Rm. 6001B
Talk abstract: The Chinese Pangenome Consortium (CPC) aims to produce hi
gh-quality genomic sequences from people representative of the majority eth
nic group (Han) and the 55 other defined ethnic groups of China\, as well a
s of multiple unrecognized ethnic groups not yet characterized genetically.
In the first phase of the CPC’s pangenome project\, the CPC produced a col
lection of 116 high-quality genome assemblies from 58 core individuals (one
assembly for each of the two sets of chromosomes that each person carries)
representing 36 non-Han Chinese ethnic groups. The CPC assemblies add 189
million base pairs of loosely packaged sequences that vary between individu
als and duplications of 1\,367 protein-coding genes that were not included
in the widely used reference genome GRCh38. More than half of the sequences
or variants uncovered in the CPC or HPRC data and not previously captured
in reference genomes showed an extremely low frequency (occurring in only o
ne or two individuals). Thus\, these data highlight the need for comprehens
ive sampling in both projects. Interestingly\, the previously unseen sequen
ces added in these CPC assemblies were enriched with genes with ancient ori
gins\, and genes associated with essential biological functions such as inf
lammation and immunity. Thus\, the CPC data could have the potential for tr
acing gaps in our understanding of human genetic evolution and for explaini
ng the heritability of complex diseases that is not explained by known vari
ants. We expect the CPC\, as part of global efforts in human genomics\, to
make a considerable contribution towards the building of high-quality pange
nome references and their application to various basic and clinical researc
h questions.

Abstract:
Modern genomics often requi res very large numbers of samples to detect any subtle patterns that may be present. The scale of these projects opens new opportunities for discovery \; however\, this scale also introduces major new technical challenges that require overhauling how genomics and genomics data science are performed. Addressing this\, the NHGRI Genomic Data Science Analysis\, Visualization\, and Informatics Lab-Space\, or AnVIL (https://anvilproject.org/)\, provides a secure cloud environment for the storage and analysis of large genomic and related datasets. AnVIL curr ently provides harmonized access to >600\,000 genomes\, with many more on t he horizon\, and provides access to thousands of software tools\, plus seve ral options for interactive and batch analysis. In this presentation\, I'll introduce the AnVIL and present some of the scientific discoveries made po ssible spanning new reference genomes\, population genetics\, clinical geno mics and beyond.

Hosted by: Dr. Gabor Egervari

Connor Auditorium (FLTC)
Abstract:
Histones have traditionally been recognized for their roles in packaging eukaryotic DNA and regulating DNA-based activities. However\, the p resence of ancestral histones in organisms with small genomes\, no nucleus\ , and little ability for epigenetic regulation\, suggest that histones migh t have an additional\, unknown function. Inspired by the geochemical events surrounding the appearance of the first eukaryotic cell\, we have indeed discovered a novel function for histone H3 as an o xidoreductase enzyme with copper reductase activity\, catalyzing reduction of Cu2+ to Cu1+. I will discuss the importance of this activity and its implications for understanding chromatin structur e and function\, the origin of eukaryotic cells\, and potential links to hu man diseases.

Abstract:
I will present an approach to connect cis regulation of gene expressi on in relevant tissues and cell types to phenotypic outcomes\, by leveragin g loci with multiple signals in expression QTL and GWA studies. Major chall enges for this approach involve detection of secondary signals in expressio n QTL studies due to sample size limitations. I will also discuss integrati on of data from massively parallel reporter assays (MPRA)\, and how these d ata may help model dosage effects of genes on GWAS traits\, disentangling c omplex signals that may be obscured by linkage disequilibrium.

Abstract:
The study of the brain\, a highly complex multicellula r organ\, has witnessed spectacular advances in the last few decades. Despi te this laudable progress\, severe blind spots in our understanding of basi c brain function and disease still remain. Khakh will describe a series of studies from his laboratory that provide new insights on predominant glial cells called astrocytes\, named historically because of their alluring\, ye t deceptively simple star-like shapes. He will tackle long-standing questio ns in neuroscience concerning the functions of astrocytes in the brain. It is now clear that signaling between diverse astrocytes and neurons plays pi votal roles in normal brain function and during failures in disease.

Abstract: Transcription factor (TF) binding locations can be map ped using methods such as ChIP-Seq or Calling Cards and the functional targ ets of a TF can be identified by perturbing the TF and measuring changes in gene expression. However\, it has long been known\, across many organisms and datasets\, that the agreement between binding locations and perturbatio n responses is extremely poor. Indeed\, most binding events appear to be no n-functional. Identifying the direct\, functional targets of TFs is essenti al for understanding how DNA sequence gives rise to phenotypes. In this tal k\, I will present an integrated analysis of multiple datasets\, including new Calling Cards data\, to shed light on this discrepancy and propose stra tegies for predicting perturbation responses from TF binding locations.

Host: Tristan Li\, PhD
Abstract: The liver receives the majority o f its blood supply from the portal venous system\, which drains the gastroi ntestinal tract. In return\, the liver communicates with the intestine by f orming and secreting bile into the intestine. Despite extensive studies on the role of this multi-organ system in metabolism and detoxification\, the implications of its function in host defense responses are less well-charte d. We will discuss how enteric-infection-associated signals are relayed bet ween the intestine and liver and induce transcriptional programs that shape the bile metabolome\, modifying bile’s immunoregulatory and host defense f unctions.

Presents: Epigenetic remodeling of monocytes and macrophages by chronic ethanol consumption
Host: Dr. Guoyan Zhao
In person only: Connor Auditorium (FLTC)
Abstr
act: In the United States\, 29.5 million people aged 12 and above suffer fr
om alcohol use disorder (AUD) and 61 million people engage in binge drinkin
g. Chronic alcohol consumption (CAC) is associated with significant increas
ed morbidity and mortality\, predisposes individuals to serious infections\
, and impairs wound healing. These observations indicate a dysregulation of
the immune system by CAC. Many labs\, including ours\, have shown that CAC
disproportionally impacts macrophages and monocytes. These cells play a cr
itical role in antimicrobial defense and tissue homeostasis. Specifically\,
CAC drives a hyper-inflammatory response by monocytes and macrophages. The
se alcohol-induced exacerbated inflammatory responses are mediated by incre
ased chromatin accessibility at promoters and intergenic regions that regul
ate inflammatory responses.

Abstract: The human genome encodes hundreds of appar ent transcription factors (TFs) for which the sequence specificity is eithe r unknown or poorly described. The Codebook Consortium is an international collaborative effort to generate the data required to derive accurate moti f models for these proteins\, using a battery of in vitro techniques\, as w ell as in living cells. The resulting data (a) demonstrate that most of th em are bona fide TFs\, (b) show that many bind transposons and other genomi c dark matter\, (c) underscore the high diversity and specificity of human TF binding motifs (d) identify binding factors for tens of thousands of con served elements\, and (e) provide an unprecedented opportunity to evaluate and dissect motif models.

le: Deciphering Single-Cell Chromatin Landscapes in the Human Immune Sys
tem: A First Look Host: Dr. Ting Wang Abstract: Cellular i
dentity and gene expression programs are imprinted and maintained by epigen
etic mechanisms\, but precise mapping of histone-mediated regulatory factor
s in tissues has been hindered by cell heterogeneity. Recent technological
advances in single-cell histone profiling\, specifically single-cell Cut&Ta
g and Paired-Tag methodologies\, now enable detailed mapping of chromatin l
andscapes without prior cell sorting. Utilizing peripheral blood mononuclea
r cells (PBMCs) from multiple donors\, we generated over 70\,000 single-cel
l histone modification profiles (H3K4me1\, H3K4me3\, H3K27ac\, and H3K27me3
)\, accurately reflecting bulk epigenomic signatures and providing a detail
ed preliminary atlas of chromatin states in circulating human immune cells.
More than 650\,000 regions of chromatin modification were identified
\, grouping into approximately 120\,000 candidate cis-regulatory elements (
cCREs). Most cCREs exhibited widespread activity across immune populations\
, defining a core epigenomic signature\, while a sizeable subset displayed
cell-type specificity indicative of roles in lineage commitment and functio
nal identity. We highlighted regulatory regions demonstrating cell-specific
bivalent chromatin signatures marked simultaneously by activating (H3K4me3

Talk Title: Senescent T Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment: Eme
rging Challenges for Immunotherapy Host: Dr. Tristan Li Ab
stract: Current immunotherapies have obtained promising results in cancer p
atients\, but the overall effectiveness rates still vary among the tumor ty
pes. One of the key determinants for the therapeutic efficacy and immune re
sponses is the functional state of the transferred/preexisting T cells in t
he tumor microenvironment (TME). This seminar will share the following info
rmation: 1) Identified that immunosenescence is an important T cell d
ysfunctional state in the TME in addition to exhaustion. 2) Introduce
the functional role of senescent T cells in maintaining and amplifying imm
une suppression in the TME for tumor immunotherapy resistance. 3) Und
erstand the potential mechanisms responsible for the development of senesce
nt T cells in the TME. 4) Develop novel strategies to prevent T cell
senescence for enhancing tumor immunity and immunotherapy. Profess

By pursuing a deep-mutational scanning of the ATPase d omain of ALC1 we have uncovered surface-exposed pockets that are critical f or synthetic lethality\, not conserved amongst other ATPases\, and exhibit minimal mutational tolerance\, limiting the chances for acquired resistance . Together\, our studies provide a strong foundation for the development of a safe and potent therapeutic strategy for combating BRCA-mutant cancers which have few to no curative options.

Talk Title: Epimutation hotspots in a cute myeloid leukemia
Abstract: DNA methylation is altered in ne arly all cancers\, but the origin and functional consequences of these chan ges are not well understood. I will present recent studies from our lab sho wing that regions with intermediate DNA methylation in normal hematopoietic cells are "hotspots" for methylation changes in acute myeloid leukemia (AM L). We found that intermediate methylation at these hotspots is caused by r andom allele-specific methylation in normal hematopoietic stem cells\, and that loss of this "somatic imprinting" pattern results in stable\, clonal e pimutations that can precede AML development.

Abstract: Histones are small p roteins that package DNA into chromosomes\, and a large number of studies h ave showed that several post-translational modification (PTM) sites on the histones are associated with both gene activation and silencing. Along wit h DNA and small non-coding RNA\, histone PTMs make up epigenetic mechanisms that control gene expression patterns outside of DNA sequence mutations. D ysregulation of these chromatin networks underlie several human diseases su ch as cancer. Here I will give an update on technology advancements that ha ve allowed for high-throughput quantitative mass spectrometry analyses of h istone PTMs and chromatin structure\, and how we are applying these methods to understand epigenetic reprogramming found in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). MPNST is an aggressive sarcoma with recurrent loss of function alterations in polycomb-repressive complex 2 (PRC2)\, a histon e-modifying complex involved in transcriptional silencing.

Talk title: Explo ring Human T cells and TCRαβ repertoire at the single-cell level : Phenoty pic Heterogeneity and Disease Associations
Abstra ct: T cells represent a dynamic record of a host's immunological h istory\, where cellular identity and antigen recognition are intrinsically linked. In this talk\, I will tell two stories regarding the large scale in tegration and analysis of single cell multi omics data. First\, I will desc ribe the development of scAtlasVAE\, a framework that enabled us to build a comprehensive human CD8 T cell atlas across 68 studies\, uncovering conser ved phenotypic transitions in cancer and inflammation. Second\, I will intr oduce TCR-DeepInsight\, a transformer based model that jointly represents T cell receptor sequences and gene expression to identify disease associated clonotypes at a population level. Together\, these methods provide a roadm ap for decoding the rules of immune recognition and cellular fate in human disease.

Talk title: Fluctuations and order in systems-level organelle biogenesis
Abstract: Perhaps th e defining feature of the eukaryotic cell is its organization into membrane -bound compartments known as organelles. While the processes underlying the biogenesis of individual organelles are often well-known\, the precision w ith which individual cells exert quantitative control over individual organ elle properties\, such as number and size\, and coordinate these properties at systems-scale across the cell’s many different types of organelles rema in frontier problems in cell biology and biophysics. Using a combination of theory and quantitative fluorescence imaging\, I will describe our recent efforts to show that cells exhibit substantial limits to the precision with which they can control organelle numbers and sizes\, but despite this appe ar to collectively organize organelle biogenesis into specific “modes” to a chieve homeostasis in cell size and growth rate.

T alk Title: Dynamic Genome Control Mechanisms in Nervous System Longevit y
Abstract: A striking feature of the nervous system is its cont inual adaptation to environmental cues throughout life. Environmental stimu li trigger changes in neuronal activity that\, in turn\, induce transcripti onal programs that drive adaptive modifications to neuronal circuits. Howev er\, during transcription\, DNA can be cut\, unwound\, the reannealed in a process that has the potential to create mutations. How then do animals bal ance the necessity of activity for brain plasticity with the intrinsic risk it poses to the genetic code? Here\, I discuss our lab’s ongoing efforts t o uncover the molecular mechanisms that regulate stimulus-dependent transcr iption and DNA repair in the brain and the significance of these genome con trol mechanisms for cognitive aging and neurodegenerative disease.
