First Transcriptomic insight into the working muscles of racing pigeons during a competition flight

ABSTRACT: The currently known homing pigeon is a result of a sharp one-sided selection for flight characteristics focused on speed, endurance, and spatial orientation. This has led to extremely well-adapted athletic phenotypes in racing birds. Here, we identify genes and pathways contributing to exercise adaptation in sport pigeons by applying next-generation transcriptome sequencing of m.pectoralis muscle samples, collected before and after a 300 km competition flight. The analysis of differentially expressed genes pictured the central role of pathways involved in fuel selection and muscle maintenance during flight, with a core set of genes: ARTN, NREP, CAV3, SLC25A30, SLC2A11. Variations in these genes may therefore be exploited for genetic improvement of the racing pigeon population towards specific categories of competition flights.

MicroRNA expression profiles in pigeon(Columba livia) skeletal muscle satellite cells during differentiation

Project description:A comparative profile of miRNAs in pre- and post-differentiated pigeon SMSCs (SMSC-1d and SMSC-5d) was performed by using high-throughput sequencing. We identified known porcine miRNAs, novel miRNAs, and miRNAs that are conserved in other birds and mammals. Our findings demonstrated that miRNAs are extensively involved in the differentiation of SMSCs in pigeons, and provide a valuable resource for the pigeon breeding.

A molecular shift in limb identity underlies the convergent evolution and development of feathered feet

Project description:The genetic and developmental mechanisms that control the decision between scale and feather growth â two profoundly different epidermal appendages, and an important developmental shift in the evolution of birds from their dinosaurian ancestors â remain poorly understood. Domestic pigeons display dramatic variation in foot epidermal appendages within a single species, and classical studies suggest that a small number of genes control much of this variation; thus pigeons provide a tractable model to understand skin appendage specification and variation. Here we show that feathered feet in pigeons are the consequence of a partial transformation of limb-type identity mediated by cis-regulatory changes in the hindlimb-specific transcription factor Pitx1 and forelimb-specific transcription factor Tbx5. We also demonstrate that ectopic hindlimb expression of Tbx5 is associated with the development of foot feathers in domestic chickens, suggesting that similar developmental mechanisms underlie phenotypic convergence in avian lineages that diverged over 100 MYA. These results show how qualitative and quantitative changes in expression of regional patterning genes can generate localized changes in organ fate and morphology, and provide a viable molecular mechanism for the evolution of hindlimb scale and feather distribution in dromaeosaurs.

Transcriptomic dynamics control rapid transition of core crop functions in 'lactating' pigeon

Project description:<p>Pigeons (Columba livia) are widely kept as domesticated pets worldwide, and may have adapted to captivity through the evolutionarily specialized ability to produce ‘milk’ in the crops of both male and female parents via rapid proliferation and shedding of lipid- and protein-enriched epithelial cells. Given the implications for understanding evolution in atricial species, a comprehensive transcriptomic perspective of the pigeon crop spanning the complete breeding cycle is warranted. Here, we generated a de novo pigeon genome assembly to construct a high resolution spatio-temporal transcriptomic landscape of the crop epithelium across the entire breeding cycle. This multi-omics analysis identified a set of ‘lactation’-related genes involved in lipid and protein metabolism that are highly expressed in the crop. Spatial transcriptomics analysis revealed extensive reorganization of long-range promoter-enhancer interactions linked to the dynamic expression of these ‘lactation’-related genes between stages. Moreover, their expression is spatially localized in specific epithelial layers, and can be correlated with phenotypic changes in the crop. This study thus illustrates the preferential de novo synthesis of ‘milk’ lipids and proteins in the crop epithelium prior to shedding from the lumen, and provides candidate enhancer loci for further investigation of the regulatory elements controlling pigeon ‘lactation’. Furthermore, these comprehensive datasets provide a foundational resource for avian and evolutionary biology research, especially relevant to atricial reproductive biology.</p>
