SUMMARYIn animal germlines, regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation is particularly important but poorly understood. Here, using a cryo-cut approach, we mapped RNA expression along the Caenorhabditis elegans germline and, using mutants, dissected gene regulatory mechanisms that control spatio-temporal expression. We detected, at near single-cell resolution, > 10,000 mRNAs, > 300 miRNAs and numerous novel miRNAs. Most RNAs were organized in distinct spatial patterns. Germline-specific miRNAs and their targets were co-localized. Moreover, we observed differential 3’ UTR isoform usage for hundreds of mRNAs. In tumorous gld-2 gld-1 mutants, gene expression was strongly perturbed. In particular, differential 3’ UTR usage was significantly impaired. We propose that PIE-1, a transcriptional repressor, functions to maintain spatial gene expression. Our data also suggest that cpsf-4 and fipp-1 control differential 3’ UTR usage for hundreds of genes. Finally, we constructed a “virtual gonad” enabling “virtual in situ hybridizations” and access to all data (https://shiny.mdc-berlin.de/spacegerm/).

Abstract Background: Intellectual disabilities (IDs) are a group of developmental disorders with high phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity. Association of genetic elements to IDs has typically been empirically accomplished, however recently, machine learning (ML) has proved to be an excellent instrument to elucidate these associations. miRNAs are short non-coding molecules that participate in spatiotemporal gene regulation, making them relevant for the understanding ID causality. Methods: In this study we used the BrainSpan spatio-temporal expression database to develop a series of machine learning predictors: SVM, RF, FF-ANN, and Stochastic Gradient Descent Classifier. These models were capable of recognizing gene expression profiles. The best classifier was used to label miRNAs associated with NS-IDs using the BrainSpan expression profiles. Results: The model with the best performance was a FF-ANN with 0.78 of F1-score, 0.78 of weighted recall and 0.78 of weighted precision. We used this model to identify miRNAs with high probability to be associated with NS-IDs using the spatio-temporal gene expression profile in the human brain. Labeled miRNAs that were annotated were associated with processes related to either IDs and-or neurodevelopmental processes. Conclusions: The development of a machine learning framework that identified potential NS-ID miRNAs represents an interesting approach for the identification of a potential list of on genes that could be subject for further experimental validation. This study also reinforces the potential of machine learning frameworks in their discovery of potential biomarkers that could improve disease detection and management.
