Project description:Natural genetic variation is the raw material of evolution and influences disease development and progression. To analyze the effect of the genetic background on protein expression in the nematode C. elegans (Caenorhabditis elegans), the two genetically highly divergent wild-type strains N2 (Bristol) and CB4856 (Hawaii) were compared quantitatively. In total, we quantified 3,238 unique proteins in three independent SILAC (stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture) experiments. The differentially expressed proteins were enriched for genes that function in insulin-signaling and stress response pathways.

Project description:Deciphering the genetic architecture of human cardiac disorders is of fundamental importance but their underlying complexity is a major hurdle. We investigated the natural variation of cardiac performance in the sequenced inbred lines of the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP). Genome Wide Associations Studies (GWAS) identified genetic networks associated with natural variation of cardiac traits which were used to gain insights as to the molecular and cellular processes affected. Non-coding variants that we identified were used to map potential regulatory non-coding regions, which in turn were employed to predict Transcription Factors (TFs) binding sites. Cognate TFs, many of which themselves bear polymorphisms associated with variations of cardiac performance, were also validated by heart specific knockdown. Additionally, we showed that the natural variations associated with variability in cardiac performance affect a set of genes overlapping those associated with average traits but through different variants in the same genes. Furthermore, we showed that phenotypic variability was also associated with natural variation of gene regulatory networks. More importantly, we documented correlations between genes associated with cardiac phenotypes in both flies and humans, which supports a conserved genetic architecture regulating adult cardiac function from arthropods to mammals. Specifically, roles for PAX9 and EGR2 in the regulation of the cardiac rhythm were established in both models, illustrating that the characteristics of natural variations in cardiac function identified in Drosophila can accelerate discovery in humans.

Project description:Classical laboratory strains show limited genetic diversity and do not harness natural genetic variation. Mouse models relevant to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have largely been developed using these classical laboratory strains, such as C57BL/6J (B6), and this has likely contributed to the failure of translation of findings from mice to the clinic. Therefore, here we test the potential for natural genetic variation to enhance the translatability of AD mouse models. Two widely used AD-relevant transgenes, APPswe and PS1de9 (APP/PS1), were backcrossed from B6 to three wild-derived strains CAST/EiJ, WSB/EiJ, PWK/PhJ, representative of three Mus musculus subspecies. These new AD strains were characterized using metabolic, functional, neuropathological and transcriptional assays. Strain-, sex- and genotype-specific differences were observed in cognitive ability, neurodegeneration, plaque load, cerebrovascular health and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Analyses of brain transcriptional data showed strain was the greatest driver of variation. We identified significant variation in myeloid cell numbers in wild type mice of different strains as well as significant differences in plaque-associated myeloid responses in APP/PS1 mice between the strains. Collectively, these data support the use of wild-derived strains to better model the complexity of human AD.

Project description:Here, we analyzed 76 ecologically diverse wild yeast isolates and discovered a wide diversity of replicative lifespan. Phylogenetic analyses pointed to genes and environmental factors that strongly interact to modulate the observed aging patterns. We then identified genetic networks causally associated with natural variation in replicative lifespan across wild yeast isolates, as well as genes, metabolites and pathways, many of which have never been associated with yeast lifespan in laboratory settings. In addition, a combined analysis of lifespan-associated metabolic and transcriptomic changes revealed unique adaptations to interconnected amino acid biosynthesis, glutamate metabolism and mitochondrial function in long-lived strains. Overall, our multi-omic and lifespan analyses across diverse isolates of the same species shows how gene-environment interactions shape cellular processes involved in phenotypic variation such as lifespan.

Project description:Natural genetic variation between two mouse strains was used as a natural mutagenesis screen to test various aspects of the proposed model for enhancer selection and function. Chromatin marks H3K4me2, H3K27Ac, and transcription factors PU.1, C/EBPa, and p65 were assessed by ChIP-Seq and GRO-Seq and RNA-Seq were used to measure gene expression in C57BL6/J and BALBc/J inbred mouse strains

Project description:Determining the different sources of heritable variation underlying quantitative traits in nature is currently at the forefront of genetic studies. To this end, molecular profiling studies in S. cerevisiae have shown that individual gene expression levels are subject to genetic control and this variation can mediate genetic differences on phenotype. Thus, determining how natural variation influences allele specific expression (ASE) and ultimately complex traits represents a useful tool to determine the mechanisms leading to yeast niche adaptation. Here, in order to test the hypothesis that allele-specific expression differences between isolates contributes to the phenotypic diversity in natural populations, we evaluated ASE levels in a grid of six F1 hybrids from the cross of four representative founder strains from major lineages. Genome-wide and across hybrids we quantified ASE for 3,320 genes. We found evidence for abundant genome-wide expression differences between alleles, with levels ranging between 27% up to 61% of the evaluated genes, depending on the cross. We observed that ASE can be explained by allele-specific differences in transcription factor binding to cis-regulatory regions and differences in strain-specific trans-activation can be detected by taking advantage of the shared trans environment of F1 hybrids. Furthermore, modules of genes under cis-regulatory variation with related function are enriched within the different genetic backgrounds, supporting the premise of intraspecies directional regulatory selection in yeast. Finally, we were able to identify two genes, GDB1 and ASN1 exhibiting high expression levels in the Wine/European strain and underlying phenotypic differences for oenological phenotypes due to polymorphisms within non-coding regions, providing direct evidence of the importance of regulatory variation in natural trait diversity.
