Project description:Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) has been selectively bred in Europe since the 1970s and the process of domestication has led to both phenotypic and genotypic differences between wild and farmed fish. Despite strict regulations large numbers of fish escape annually from fish farms, a concern for both aquaculturalists and those managing wild fish stocks. A better understanding of the interactions between domesticated and wild salmon is essential to the continued sustainability of the aquaculture industry and to the maintenance of healthy wild stocks. One major concern is that of potential interbreeding of escapees with wild fish leading to potentially detrimental genetic changes in wild populations. Advances in high throughput technologies allow the role of genome-wide gene transcription to be studied in relation to both micro- and macro- evolutionary change. In this study, we have compared the transcriptomes of Norwegian wild and domesticated stocks at two life stages: yolk sac and first-feeding salmon fry and reared under identical conditions. These preliminary data improve knowledge of potential transcriptional difference between domesticated and wild salmon and will hopefully provide a better understanding of the fitness consequences of such interactions.

Project description:Zebrafish populations recently collected from the wild differ from domesticated populations in anxiety-related behaviors. We measured anxiety-related behaviors in wild and domesticated zebrafish populations and performed a multi-brain region transcriptional comparison using microarrays to try to understand the genetic changes that accompany behavioral adaptation to domestication. We performed a microarray analysis comparing the midbrain and telencephalon brain regions of male and female adult zebrafish from four populations varying in domestication history (Wild: Nadia (N) and Pargana (P), and Domesticated: Scientific Hatchery (S) and Transgenic Mosaic 1 (T)). We collected 16 samples per brain region (4 samples per zebrafish population, with 1 telencephalon sample missing for the S population). We attempted to maintain equal sex ratios within each zebrafish population, but this was not always possible due to sex biases within some populations.

Project description:Anopheles gambiae isofemale families from Tororo, Uganda were assayed for resistance to lambda-cyhalothrin (1.5hr exposure). Resistant families were compared to susceptible families. A portion of each family was exposed to 0.05% lambda-cyhalothrin in order to determine the family phenotype. The families used for the array were of known phenotype but were themselves unexposed.

Project description:Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis (IPN) is a highly contagious birnavirus disease of farmed salmonid fish, which often causes high levels of morbidity and mortality. A large genetic component underlying resistance to this disease has been previously described for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), which mediates high mortality rates in some families and zero mortality in others. A global comparison of the gene expression profiles of resistant and susceptible Atlantic salmon fry following challenge with the IPN virus was undertaken. Full sibling salmon fry from two IPNV-resistant and two IPNV-susceptible families were challenged with the virus and sampled at 1 day, 7 days and 20 days post-challenge. Significant viral titre was observed in both resistant and susceptible fish at all timepoints, although generally at higher levels in susceptible fish. Microarray interrogations were performed using a custom-designed, oligonucleotide microarray platform (Agilent) with 44 K probes per slide (Salar_2; Agilent Design ID:025520). The design is lodged with ArrayExpress ( under accession number A-MEXP-2065. Dual-label hybridisations were undertaken, with each experimental sample (Cy3 labelled) being competitively hybridised against a pooled reference control (Cy5 labelled) comprising equimolar amounts from each experimental RNA sample. The interrogations comprised 144 separate hybridisations; 2 genotypes (susceptible, resistant) à 2 families for each genotype à 2 challenge states (control, challenged) à 3 timepoints (1, 7, 20 dpi) à 4 biological replicates for resistant (2 from each of two tanks) and 8 biological replicates for susceptible (4 from each of two tanks). A preliminary analysis suggested evidence for a segregating QTL in both the susceptible families and therefore twice as many offspring were screened. It was later established that the evidence for QTL segregation in one of the families was inconclusive and therefore comparisons were made at the family level only. The analyses took the unbalanced design into account.

Project description:In gastrulation, distinct progenitor cell populations are induced and sorted into the three germ layers ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. In order to identify genes involved in germ layer specification and morphogenesis, we identified genes differentially expressed between ectodermal and mesendodermal progenitor cells. To do so, we first generated highly enriched pools of ectodermal and mesendodermal progenitor cells. Mesendodermal cells were generated by over-expressing the Nodal signal Cyclops in wild type embryos and ectodermal cells were taken from mz-one-eyed-pinhead (oep) mutant embryos. We then compared the transcriptome of ectodermal versus mesendodermal cells taken from embryos at 7 hours post fertilization (hpf). In wild type embryos at this stage (70% epiboly), the first ectodermal and mesendodermal progenitor cells have already been sorted into their respective germ layers and ingression of mesendodermal progenitors is still ongoing.

Project description:Gamete quality is one of the most important element of successful aquaculture. This especially applies to a newly domesticated fish species, such as pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) in which lowered and/or variable egg quality is one of the biggest obstacles toward rapid production expansion. However, mechanisms underlying pikeperch egg developmental competences remain unknown. Therefore, a quantitative proteome study was performed with high (HQ) and low (LQ) quality domesticated pikeperch eggs using a label free LC-MS/MS approach.

Project description:Background: The decreasing availability of fishmeal as a protein source in aquaculture diets will require aquaculture to develop an econmoical and sustainable protien replacement. Plant proteins are readily available and are being tested as a promising alternative to replace a substantial portion of fishmeal which currently provides most of the protein content in aquaculture diets. The types of plant protein feasible for incorporation into aquaculture diets will likely contain various anti-nutritional compounds, carbohydrates, fiber, and a different amino acid profile than what is found in fishmeal. Substantial genetic variation was previously observed for growth on plant based dits in rainbow trout Hence, it will be beneficial to identify metabolic and physiologic pathways related to enhanced plant protein utilization which will aid in identifying genes that contribute to this genetic variation. Results: Microarray analysis of liver samples from two families of rainbow trout that differed in their growth responses when compared between individuals grown on a fish meal or plant protein based diet. Differential expression relating to dietary utilization between the two families found significant changes in expression of 33 ESTs. Eight of the differntially expressed ESTs had identified mammalian homologs that had been previously researched with identified cellular interactions and functions. Conclusions: Utilizing pathway analysis software to analyze sequences annotated with known mammalian genes were were ablet o map gene pathway and process interactions. From this information we were able to infer that the metabolic changes associated with utilization of plant protein versus fishmeal were associated with differential reaulation of genes related to cell oxidative stress, proliferation, growth, and survival. Furthermore, we inferred from the changes we observed in immune response genes expression that ingestion of this plant based diet upregulated the expression of genes involved in immunoregulatroy processes. Genotyped samples linked to families that had 4 or more members sampled on each diet were identified and ranked according to average family weight on each diet. Size rankings corresponded to large (>750 g), medium (600-640 g), and small (<500 g). From these identified groups 2 families were chosen for microarray expression analysis that demonstrated individuals with growth differences between the two diets. Data for the two families used for analysis and slide arrangements are listed in table 3. The families compared for growth differences between diets used for this study only differed by one growth range, large fish on fish meal compared to medium fish on plant-based diet and medium sized fish on fishmeal diet compared to small fish on plant-based diet. This strategy to use size separation within family was an attempt to identify gene changes more specific to diet utilization than specific for growth differences.
