Pao-Yang Chen's Laboratory
陳柏仰實驗室
Next-generation or massively parallel DNA sequencing technologies have the potential to markedly accelerate genetics and epigenetics research. Our lab utilizes the next-generation sequencing technique to establish genome-wide DNA methylation profiles, investigate chromatin accessibility and histone modifications, and process transcriptome analysis. These results from next-generation sequencing allow us to explore the epigenetic patterns, and the correlation between epigenome and gene expression of plants, fungi, and human. Our research is to integrate both experiments and statistical methods and bioinformatic software to address biologically relevant questions.
表觀遺傳是在不改變DNA序列的情況下，透過修飾染色質結構或轉錄後調控，影響基因表現並導致性狀改變 ，甚至遺傳給後代，常見的機制包含DNA甲基化、組蛋白修飾、小分子RNA等。近年來隨著次世代定序技術的發展，使我們得以探索全基因 體中，每個鹼基對的表觀遺傳修飾情形，進而解答許多遺傳學無法解釋的問題。本實驗室專長表觀遺傳研究並首重DNA甲基化，利用次世代定序建立全基因體的DNA甲基化圖譜，來深入了解植物、真菌、人類的DNA甲基化與其對基因表現的影響。在完成生物樣本的建庫後，我 們針對次世代定序所產生的龐大資料，研究統計方法，並發展計算工具，以解讀生物學上相關的問題。
開發生物資訊工具有助於分析整個基因體的表觀遺傳修飾，以更全面地了解基 因調控及其在動植物發育、人類疾病和環境逆境中的作用。實驗室結合程式語言的能力和對於生物學的知識，建立了多種生物資訊相關工具和網站，包含上游資料處理工具能夠將甲基化的序列回貼基因體上，可以更快速地得到可分析的甲基化資料；下游的全基因體甲基化資 料分析或是染色質的開放程度分析，讓其他使用者可以運用簡單的操作就得到生物體中不同表觀遺傳修飾的程度與差異度在不同位點之間 的分析結果；甚至是與基因表現之間的關聯性分析或是甲基化異質性的計算，將統計與數學模型應用在表觀遺傳學的分析中，以全新的方 法來更準確的了解表觀遺傳修飾在生物體中的作用與表現，以提升表觀遺傳研究的發展。
To comprehensively understand epigenomics in plants, animals and fungi. We combine the skills for programming and the knowledge for biology to develop multiple bioinformatics tools and websites. For example, we established tools which can align methylated sequences, efficiently providing the usable data for the analyses; as well as various comprehensive genome-wide epigenomics data analysis, such as methylation level assessment, chromatin accessibility evaluation, and differentially analysis for identifying the critical regions and genes. Additionally, we applied the statistical and mathematical models to analyse the correlation between epigenetic modifications and gene expression, or calculating methylation heterogeneity to gain more accurate results and precise insights. These tools allow the researcher to enhance the efficiency of epigenomics research, contributing to the continuous advancement of this field.
植物和動物的基因組DNA甲基化遺傳標記隱藏著很重要的生物學意義。我們的實驗室與國內外多個實驗室有 合作計畫，共同研究各樣植物和動物的DNA甲基化模式。例如，我們希望對基因改良的水稻基因體及表觀基因體進行詳細的研究分析。這個結果將增進水稻基因改良的品質以及轉殖的效率。藉由檢視阿拉伯芥甲基轉移酶參與調控網路與脂質生成調控網路的基因體、表觀基因 體與轉錄體間的比較，我們辨識出調控植物油品質的關鍵基因群。 未來將進一步以阿拉伯芥的研究成果作為基礎，進而研究提高產油植物油產量與品質的應用。 糖尿病是現代文明病之一，其中第二型糖尿病能以藥物進行治療。透過比較糖尿病患者服用藥物前後，可以評估基因體甲基化變化治療效果。 初步結果顯示治療後第二型糖尿病患者的基因體甲基化模式有向一般人的基因體甲基化模式接近的趨勢 ，顯示治療效果帶來表觀遺傳層級的改變。我們在人類生殖細胞的表觀基因體研究，發表了人類第一個表觀基因體重置的圖譜，是一重大 突破，我們並展開一連串的相關研究，探討此遺傳上獨特且重要的細胞。新的定序技術讓我們可以分析生物全基因體的DNA甲基化模式。透過基因體、表觀基因體與轉錄體的相互比較提供多層次的觀點，以利深入生物議題的探究。
