Sociogenomics of self vs. non-self cooperation during development of Dictyostelium discoideum [NC105.1_RFP_vs_NC28.1]

ABSTRACT: Dictyostelium discoideum, a microbial model for social evolution, is known to distinguish self from non-self and show genotype-dependent behavior during chimeric development. Aside from a small number of cell-cell recognition genes, however, little is known about the genetic basis of self/non-self recognition in this species. Based on the key hypothesis that there should be differential expression of genes if D. discoideum cells were interacting with non-clone mates, we performed transcriptomic profiling study in this species during clonal vs. chimeric development. Wild strains isolated from North Carolina, which have been shown to form a dominance hierarchy when co-developing in chimeras, were used. The transcriptomic profiles of D. discoideum cells in clones vs. different chimeras were c
