项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In animals, development and differentiation proceeds by the sequential activation of gene expression. Our primary goal is to elucidate the complex network of genetic interactions that underlies the processes of normal development, disease and evolution. A comprehensive analysis of these interactions requires knowledge of the gene expression profiles for the full complement of genes in an organism. At the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project (BDGP), we have established a gene expression resource for Drosophila development that contains spatial and temporal embryonic expression patterns determined from whole mount RNA in-situ hybridization. These patterns are annotated using a standardized, controlled vocabulary based on an anatomical ontology and a standardized virtual representation of the patterns to facilitate image based search and analysis. This resource now includes embryonic expression patterns for all sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins or transcription factors (TFs) that control the processes of animal organogenesis. Specifically we propose to continue to collect RNA expression patterns for the remaining protein-coding genes, including newly identified genes, and expand the collection to include non-coding genes and alternative transcripts with likely embryonic expression; assay patterns of expression driven by putative CRMs for transcription factors (TFs) and analyze the expression using our newly developed computational image analysis tools; and finally compare TF RNA expression patterns to corresponding protein expression determined from GFP-tagged lines for all TFs. The gene expression data produced by our study will provide fundamental information for elucidating gene function in Drosophila and, by homology, in other eukaryotes, including humans. The roles of most non-coding RNAs in particular remain unknown. The functional analysis of regulatory regions will provide insights into the developmental roles of the transcription factors. The integration of transcript, protein and CRM spatiotemporal expression data will promote discovery of networks of regulatory interactions. These studies are directed toward the understanding of life processes and lay the foundation for promoting better human health.

描述（由申请人提供）：在动物中，发育和分化是通过基因表达的顺序激活来进行的，我们的主要目标是阐明正常发育、疾病和进化过程中复杂的遗传相互作用网络。这些相互作用需要了解生物体中完整基因的基因表达谱，在伯克利果蝇基因组计划（BDGP）中，我们已经建立了果蝇发育的基因表达资源，其中包含根据确定的空间和时间胚胎表达模式。这些模式使用基于解剖本体论的标准化、受控词汇和模式的标准化虚拟表示来注释，以促进基于图像的搜索和分析。具体来说，我们建议继续收集其余蛋白质编码基因（包括新发现的基因）的 RNA 表达模式，并扩大收集范围以包括非基因。编码基因和替代品具有胚胎表达的转录物；由假定的 CRM 驱动的分析转录因子 (TF) 的可能表达模式，并使用我们新开发的计算图像分析工具分析表达；最后将 TF RNA 表达模式与从 GFP 标记的细胞系确定的相应蛋白质表达进行比较；我们的研究产生的基因表达数据将为阐明果蝇中的基因功能提供基本信息，并且通过同源性，为包括人类在内的其他真核生物中的基因功能提供基础信息。调控区域的功能分析将深入了解转录因子的发育作用，转录物、蛋白质和 CRM 时空表达数据的整合将促进调控相互作用网络的发现。并为促进人类健康奠定基础。
