The genetic basis of structural colour variation in mimetic Heliconius butterflies [erato]

Project description:We use RNAseq data to perform differential gene expression to identify genes controlling structural colouration in two co-mimetic species of Heliconius butterfly - Heliconius erato and Heliconius melpomene. We use comparisons between iridescent and non-iridescent subspecies of Helcionius erato (H. e. cyrbia and H. e. demophoon, respectively) and Helcionius melpomene (H. m. cythera and H. m. rosina, respectively) at two separate developmental stages, 50% and 70% of development. In addition, in the iridescent subspecies of both H. erato and H. melpomene, we compared the iridescent wing regions (forewing and hindwing combined) to the non-iridescent androconial wing region using differential gene expression.

In addition, in the iridescent subspecies of both H. erato and H. melpomene, we compared the iridescent wing regions (forewing and hindwing combined) to the non-iridescent androconial wing (anterior hindwing) region using differential gene expression.

Neanderthal Adaptively Introgressed Genetic Variants Regulate Human Immune Genes In Vitro.

Project description:Some Neanderthal introgressed variation underwent selective sweeps, but little is known about their functional significance. We used a Massively Parallel Reporter Assay (MPRA) to test 5,353 high-frequency introgressed variants for evidence of being in active cis-regulatory elements (CREs) and modulating gene expression in immune cell lines. We identified 2,546 variants in CREs and 292 expression-modulating variants (emVars). These emVars are predicted to regulate genes that are enriched for function in innate immune pathways including interferon signaling, toll like receptor pathways, and anti-viral response; one such emVar is significantly associated with protection against severe COVID-19 response. Using CRISPR-Cas9, we deleted two CREs containing expression-modulation variants linked to immune function, rs11624425 and rs80317430, identifying their primary genic targets as ELMSAN1, and PAN2 and STAT2 respectively, three genes differentially expressed during influenza infection. Overall, we present the first database of directly identified expression-modulating Neanderthal-introgressed alleles contributing to potential immune response in modern humans.
