Coat colour of brushtail possum

ABSTRACT: The fur of the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula), a model marsupial, is lightweight, soft and has superior insulation properties. Two predominate fur colours exisit: grey or black. RNA-sequencing of skin from grey (n=3) and black (n=3) possums was performed to investigate gene expression changes between these colour morphs.

ORGANISM(S): Trichosurus vulpecula

The effects of corticosterone and background colour on tadpole physiological plasticity

Project description:Corticosterone (CORT)-mediated adaptive plasticity improves animal fitness in stressful environments. Although it brings ecological benefits, the cost potentially constrains its expression and evolution. Revealing the factors affecting plasticity costs is of great ecological and evolutionary significance. Evidence indicates that both CORT and background colour can induce metabolic changes in animals, which in turn determine phenotypic plasticity. However, whether and/or how CORT and background colour jointly act on plastic responses has not been studied. Here, this question has been investigated in amphibian tadpoles (Microhyla fissipes) exposed to CORT at different background colours (white or black) using integrated morphological, histological, and transcriptomic analyses. The results showed that CORT exposure increased relative tail length, immune function, and metabolic maintenance (i.e., transcription of substrate catabolism and oxidative phosphorylation) at the expense of reduction in growth rate and skin melanin level. The black background also increased relative tail length and metabolic maintenance (i.e., transcription of oxidative phosphorylation) at the cost of reduction in growth rate, but increased skin melanin level. The expression of critical pigmentation genes indicated that black background activated a distinct and opposite pigmentation regulating route to CORT. Although there was no interactive effect of background colour and CORT on phenotypic and metabolic variations, their additive effects further impact the trade-off between somatic growth, metabolic maintenance, and pigmentation in terms of resource allocation. In conclusion, the individual and additive effects of background colour and CORT exposure on tadpole plasticity were revealed. These results likely provide new insights into the environmental adaptation of animals.

Colour analysis in Fenneropenaeus merguiensis

Project description:Differential gene expression analysis of three F. merguiensis colour groups (dark, light, albino), using custom microarrays. A total of 12 light, 12 dark and 9 albino prawn samples were analysed, using total RNA extracted from cuticle tissue. 3 biological replicates were pooled onto each of the 4 arrays for the light and dark samples; and for the albino samples, groups of 2, 2, 2 and 3 biological replicates were pooled for the 4 arrays. Single colour analysis was carried out, using the Cy3 dye.

Global gene expression analysis of fresh-frozen, furan-exposed mouse liver using one-colour Agilent microarrays

Project description:Furan is a mouse and rat hepatocarcinogen. We sought to determine if furan-induced gene expression changes could be detected in paired fresh-frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples using one-colour microarrays. All samples in this study (fresh-frozen, 18 hours in formalin, 3 weeks in formalin) were also examined using two-colour microarrays and RNA-seq (ribo-depletion and polyA-enrichment protocols) in order to determine the effect of the technology on gene expression profiles.
