Genome-wide screening of gene regulation of little skate motor neuron

ABSTRACT: The little skate, a cartilaginous fish evolutionarily distal from tetrapods, displays walking-like behavior and has conserved genetic programs and neuronal substrates for land-walking. Studies on little skate have been limited due to lack of high-quality genome assembly. Here, we generated an improved genome assembly of little skate reflecting precise gene annotation and structures and performed integrated analysis of gene expression and chromatin accessibility to investigate molecular mechanisms of fin motor neuron development. Through interspecies comparison of RNA expression, common and species-specific genes expressed in fin/limb/wing level motor neurons were identified. Moreover, by performing chromatin accessibility analysis with a pure fin motor neuron population the potential regulators controlling the gene expression in fin motor neurons were identified. Interspecies comparison of genomic data, gene expression, and chromatin accessibility assay suggest that the little skate has highly conserved gene regulatory mechanisms controlling tetrapod locomotion, which was not previously expected.

Genomewide screening for pectoral fin MN specific markers

Project description:The goal of this study is to find skate pectoral fin motor neuron markers. Total RNA was extracted from manually sorted pectoral fin MNs, which were retrogradely labeled and tail spinal cord cells. By comparing RNA expression profiles of pectoral fin MNs and tail spinal cord neurons, we could identity general MN, MN columnar, and subset MN pool markers for fin MNs.

The synarcual of the little skate: Novel development among the vertebrates

Project description:The synarcual is a specialized adaptation of the anterior axial skeleton comprising a putatively fused array of vertebral elements characteristic of jawed vertebrate (gnathostome) clades such as batoid and chimaeroid chondrichthyans, as well as a fossil group known as the placoderms. Placoderms represent the phylogenetically most basal jawed vertebrates and the presence of a synarcual in these and chondrichthyans may suggest a conserved vertebral type for jawed vertebrates, predating the divergence of stem and crown gnathostomes. Alternatively, synarcuals may have evolved independently in these lineages, exhibiting a remarkable case of morphological convergence. We investigated the early development of the cervicothoracic synarcual of an emerging model chondrichthyan, the Little skate Leucoraja erinacea, by combining x-ray computed tomography, classical histology, and a de novo transcriptome assembly for two developmental stages of the skate synarcual and post-synarcual axial skeletal elements.

The little skate genome and the evolutionary emergence of wing-like fin appendages [Hi-C Skate stage 31]

Project description:While retaining ancestral morphological and genomic traits, skates evolved a novel body plan with remarkably enlarged wing-like fins that allowed skates to thrive in benthic environments, but their molecular underpinnings remain elusive. Here we investigate the origin of this phenotypical innovation by assembling a high-quality chromosome-scale genome sequence for the little skate Leucoraja erinacea and by generating extensive regulatory profiling datasets in developing fins (gene expression, chromatin occupancy and conformation). We show that despite their derived morphology, the skate genome retains multiple features of the ancestral jawed vertebrate genome.
