Project description:The inherent diversity of canines is closely intertwined with the unique color patterns of each dog population. These variations in color patterns are believed to have originated through mutations and selective breeding practices that occurred during and after the domestication of dogs from wolves. To address the significant gaps that persist in comprehending the evolutionary processes that underlie the development of these patterns, we generated and analyzed deep-sequenced genomes of 113 Korean indigenous Jindo dogs that represent five distinct color patterns to identify the associated mutations in CBD103, ASIP, and MC1R. The degree of linkage disequilibrium and estimated allelic ages consistently indicate that the black-and-tan dogs descend from the first major founding population on Jindo island, compatible with the documented literature. We additionally demonstrate that black-and-tan dogs, in contrast to other color variations within the breed, exhibit a closer genetic affinity to ancient wolves from western Eurasia than those from eastern Eurasia. Lastly, population-specific genetic variants with moderate effects were identified, particularly in loci associated with traits underlying body size and behavioral variations, potentially explaining the observed phenotypic diversity based on coat colors. Overall, comparisons of whole genome sequences of each coat color population diverged from the same breed provided an unprecedented glimpse into the properties of evolutionary processes maintaining variation in Korean Jindo dog populations that were previously inaccessible.

Project description:Coat color mainly reflects pigmentation resulting from melanin. Wool color is one of the most visible and heritable traits in sheep. Although several detailed molecular mechanisms involved in coat color have been elucidated, our understanding of differences in gene expression patterns of wool color-related genes in Chinese Merino (Junken type) is limited. We employed the Affymetrix microarray to identify differentially expressed genes. 122 genes were differentially expressed, consisting of 117 upregulated and 5 downregulated genes that were related to black/brown skin. The expression level of the BMP2, BMP4, TYRP1, LEPR, DCT, BMPR1A, and TP45A genes was validated by qRT-PCR, and the results coincided with those of microarray. The expression level of ASIP in the black/brown group was significantly lower than that of the white group, suggesting that this plays a key role in the regulation of wool pigmentation. Some cloned color genes (MITF, MC1R, GPR143, and KIT) showed no significant differences in expression levels between the black/brown- and white-skinned sheep. Functional annotation by using Gene Ontology (GO) showed that the differentially expressed genes enriched specific GO terms, particularly those relating to melanin biosynthesis and metabolic processes. KEGG pathway analysis indicated that the categories of tyrosine metabolism and melanogenesis pathway were enriched with differentially expressed genes. Taken together, the present study has shown that the tyrosine metabolism pathway plays an essential role in regulating wool color. The findings of this study may also be utilized in the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms and relationship between genes and wool color in Chinese Merino (Junken type). We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression and identified distinct different expression genes of skin in different coat color Chinese Merino (Junken type).

Project description:Seed coat color in soybean (Glycine max) is determined by the accumulation of flavonoid-derived pigments. However, to date the molecular mechanisms driving natural variation remain poorly defined. This study integrated data from RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) with metabolite profiling via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to investigate genetic and metabolic differences between black and yellow seed coat soybean lines that share an identical genetic background. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that key anthocyanin biosynthesis genes, including flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H-3), anthocyanidin synthase (ANS), UDP-glucose:flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase (UF3GT), UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT79B6), and glutathione S-transferase (GSTF11), were more highly expressed in black seed coats, where we also observed increased anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin (PA) accumulation and antioxidant activity. In contrast, leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR) was strongly expressed in yellow seed coats but did not correspond to PA levels, likely due to the specific expression of laccase (LAC5) in black seeds, which facilitates PA polymerization. Elevated expression of cytochrome P450 enzymes (i.e., CYP73A5, cinnamate 4-hydroxylase; CYP82C4) in yellow seed coats suggested activation of the isoflavone biosynthesis pathway. Further transcriptional profiling also indicated that black-seed-specific MYB transcription factors (i.e., MYB111, MYB113, and MYB17) promoted anthocyanin production. This study is the first to provide evidence that small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are implicated in the regulation of seed coat pigmentation and stress adaptation. Together, these findings elucidate the genetic and metabolic regulation of seed coat color in soybean and identify candidate genes relevant to functional breeding and genomics research.

Project description:The Sex-linked orange mutation in domestic cats causes variegated patches of reddish/yellow hair and is a defining signature of random X-inactivation in female tortoiseshell and calico cats. Unlike the situation for most coat color genes, there is no apparent homolog for Sex-linked orange in other mammals. We show that Sex-linked orange is caused by a 5 kb deletion that leads to ectopic and melanocyte-specific expression of the Rho GTPase Activating Protein 36 (Arhgap36) gene. Single cell RNA-seq studies from fetal cat skin reveal that red/yellow hair color is caused by reduced expression of melanogenic genes that are normally activated by the Melanocortin 1 receptor (Mc1r)—cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)—protein kinase A (PKA) pathway, but Mc1r and its ability to stimulate cAMP accumulation is intact. Instead, we show that expression of Arhgap36 in melanocytes leads to reduced levels of the PKA catalytic subunit (PKAC); thus, Sex-linked orange is genetically and biochemically downstream of Mc1r. Our findings resolve a longstanding comparative genetic puzzle, provide in vivo evidence for the ability of Arhgap36 to inhibit PKA, and reveal a molecular explanation for a charismatic color pattern with a rich genetic history.

Project description:we compared the skin transcriptomes of the black- and white-coated region from the Boer and Macheng Black crossbred goat with black head and white body using the Illumina RNA-Seq method. Six cDNA libraries derived from skin samples of the white coat region (n = 3) and black coat region (n = 3) were constructed from three full-sib goats. On average, we obtained approximately 76.5 and 73.5 million reads for each skin sample of black coat and white coat, respectively, of which 75.39% and 76.05% reads were covered in the genome database. Our study provides insight into the transcriptional regulation of two distinct coat color that might serve as a key resource for understanding coat color pigmentation of goat.
