Step 0: Shared Desktop Directory
For viewing and manipulating files on the classroom computers, we provide a shared directory in the following folder on the desktop:
classes/mayo
In today’s lab, we will be using the following folder in the shared directory:
classes/mayo/sinha

Computational Prediction of MotifsIn this exercise, we will upload a ChIP track of the transcription factor BIN in Drosophila Melanogaster to Galaxy.
After performing various file manipulations, we will use the MEME suite to identify a motif from the top 100 ChIP regions.
Subsequently, we will compare our predicted motif with the experimentally validated motif for BIN at Fly Factor Survey.

Step 4: Extract DNA of Top 100 ChIP Regions
Click on Fetch Sequences.
Click on Extract Genomic DNA.
Under Fetch sequences for intervals in select our top 100 ChIP regions.
Set Interpret features when possible to No.
Set Source for Genomic Data to Locally cached.
Set Output data type to FASTA.
Click Execute.

Step 5: Download The Data
When finished, click on to download the file to our desktop.
This has already been done for you.
The resulting sequence is in the following file:
classes/mayo/sinha/BIN_top_100.fasta

Step 6: Submit to MEME
In this step, we will submit the sequences to MEME
Go to the following address:
http://meme.nbcr.net/meme/cgi-bin/meme.cgi
Enter your email address here.
Upload your sequences file here
Leave other parameters as default.
Click Start Search.
DO NOT RUN THIS NOW. MEME TAKES A VERY LONG TIME.

Step 7A: Analyzing MEME Results
Go to the following web address:
http://nbcr-222.ucsd.edu/opal-jobs/appMEME_4.9.01371501018575720728765/meme.html
The webpage contains a summary of MEME’s findings.
It is also available on the shared directory:
classes/mayo/sinha/MEME.htm
Let’s investigate the top hit.

Step 7B: Analyzing MEME Results
To the right is a LOGO of our predicted motif, showing the per position relative abundance of each nucleotide
At the bottom are the aligned regions in each of our sequences that helped produce this motif. As the p-value increases (becomes less significant) matches show greater divergence from our LOGO.

Step 7C: Analyzing MEME Results
Other predicted motifs do not seem as plausible.

Step 8A: Comparison with Experimentally Validated Motif for BINFlyFactorSurvey is a database of TF motifs in Drosophila Melanogaster.
Go to the following link to view the motif for BIN:
http://pgfe.umassmed.edu/ffs/TFdetails.php?FlybaseID=FBgn0045759
Regulatory Genomics Lab v1 | Saurabh Sinha 15
Step 8B: Comparison with Experimentally Validated Motif for BIN
Actual BIN Motif
There is strong agreement between the actual motif and the reverse complement of MEME’s best motif. This indicates MEME was actually able to find the motif from the top 100 ChIP regions for this TF.
Best MEME Motif
Best MEME MotifReverse Complemented

Gene Set Enrichment AnalysisIn this exercise, we will extract the nearby genes for each one of the ChIP peaks for BIN.
We will then subject the nearby genes to enrichment analysis tests on various Gene Ontology gene sets utilizing DAVID.
Regulatory Genomics Lab v1 | Saurabh Sinha 17
Step 9A: Acquire Nearby Genes
In this step, we will acquire all genes in Drosophila Melanogaster.
Select Get Data and UCSC Main.
Regulatory Genomics Lab v1 | Saurabh Sinha 18
Step 9B: Acquire Nearby GenesEnsure the following settings are configured.
Click get output and then send query to Galaxy.
Regulatory Genomics Lab v1 | Saurabh Sinha 19
Step 9C: Acquire Nearby Genes
Go back to Galaxy.
Select Operate on Genomic Intervals
Then Select Fetch Closest non-overlapping interval feature.
Regulatory Genomics Lab v1 | Saurabh Sinha 20
Step 9D: Acquire Nearby Genes
For For every interval feature in select our original ChIP track.
For Fetch closest features from select the UCSC genes track we just downloaded.
Click Execute
Regulatory Genomics Lab v1 | Saurabh Sinha 21
Step 10A: Cut Out Genes
The resulting file has the list of nearby genes in CG format in the 12th column.
We are only interested in the genes, so we need to cut them out using the CUT tool.
Under Text Manipulation click Cut
Regulatory Genomics Lab v1 | Saurabh Sinha 22
Step 10B: Cut Out Genes
For Cut Columns type c12 to denote column 12.
Under Delimited By select Tab
Under From select the track we just generated: the intersection of the ChIP-peaks and Fly Base genes.
Click Execute.

Step 11A: Convert IDs
The resulting file from the previous analysis is located in:
classes/mayo/sinha/cg_transcripts.txt
The enrichment tool we will use doesn’t accept genes in this format.
We will use the FlyBase ID converter to convert these transcript ids into FlyBase transcript ids.
Regulatory Genomics Lab v1 | Saurabh Sinha 24
Step 11B: Convert IDs
Go to http://flybase.org/static_pages/downloads/IDConv.html
Upload our cg_transcript.txt file and hit Go.
On the next page, click FlyBase Hit List and choose where to save the file.

Step 12A: Gene Set Enrichment - DAVID
The file from the previous analysis is available here:
classes/mayo/sinha/fb_transcripts.txt
With our correct ids of transcripts of genes near ChiP peaks, we now wish to perform a gene set enrichment analysis on various gene sets.
A tool that allows us to do this from a web interface is DAVID located at the following address:
http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/tools.jsp
Regulatory Genomics Lab v1 | Saurabh Sinha 26
Step 12A: Gene Set Enrichment - DAVID
We will perform a Gene Set Enrichment Analysis on our transcript list (gene list) and see what GO categories we are significantly enriched in.
Click Choose File on select our fb_transcripts.txt file.
Under Select Identifier select FLYBASE_TRANSCRIPT_ID.
Under Step 3: List Type check Gene List.
Click Submit List.
Regulatory Genomics Lab v1 | Saurabh Sinha 27
Step 12B: Gene Set Enrichment - DAVID
On the next page, select Functional Annotation Chart.
Our gene set seems to be enriched in the BP_FAT GO category!
This is consistent with the activity of the BIN transcription factor in the literature.
