Project description:The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a model for biology and is also one of the most important microorganisms for food and drink production. Surprisingly, only a few genes involved in the adaptation to anthropic niches have been described until now. Wine fermentation and flor aging, which are performed by strains from two closely related groups of yeast, are two technologies that have opposite approaches toward oxygen, which results in contrasting lifestyles for yeast: fermentation growth on grape for wine yeast, and biofilm aerobic growth on ethanol and glycerol contained in wine for flor strains. This pair of environments and the associated yeast populations can be a model for studying adaptation to anthropic environments. In this project, we have obtained high-quality genome sequences of 20 yeast strains from 9 flor yeast, 9 wine yeast as well as EC1118 and haploid derivative 59A. Phylogeny and population structure analysis, based on GATK genotyping, enable us to characterize a group of flor yeast that is clearly different from wine yeast. A comparison of the genomes of wine and flor yeasts using various methods (PCA, nucleotidic diversity, McDonald Kreitman test, potentially impacted genes according to SIFT) enabled us to note divergent regions, or genes, with potential non-neutral evolution, and highly variant genes. The results of these genomic comparisons are echoed by the comparison of a wine and a flor yeast transcriptome. These methods, as expected, highlight key genes that are involved in FLO11 regulation as well as in biofilm growth, but they also revealed the presence of many allelic variations in genes that are involved in the sensing and regulation of osmotic pressure (such as SLN1, HKR1, SSK22, AQY2) and specific metabolic traits, such as the fructophily of flor yeast, which carry a fructophile allele of HXT3. More remarkable is the accumulation of mutations in multiple genes, which creates a pattern of convergent mutations in regulatory networks, as seen in FLO11 regulation or the HOG MAP kinase pathway. The rewiring of these regulatory networks is clearly one of the hallmarks of domestication for the flor yeast genome. Data presented here correspond to the comparison of Flor yeast P3-D5 and wine yeast K1-280-2B transcriptomes under conditions potentially enabling the production of a biofilm.

Project description:Industrial wine yeast strains possess specific abilities to ferment under stressing conditions and give a suitable aromatic outcome. Although the fermentations properties of Saccharomyces cervisiae wine yeasts are well documented little is known on the genetic basis underlying the fermentation traits. Besides, although strain differences in gene expression has been reported, their relationships with gene expression variations and fermentation phenotypic variations is unknown. To both identify the genetic basis of fermentation traits and get insight on their relationships with gene expression variations, we combined fermentation traits QTL mapping and expression profiling in a segregating population from a cross between a wine yeast derivative and a laboratory strain.

Project description:Domestication of wild animals induces a set of phenotypic characteristics collectively known as the domestication syndrome. However, how this syndrome emerges is still not clear. Recently, the neural crest cell deficit hypothesis proposed that it is generated by a mildly disrupted neural crest cell developmental program, but clear support is lacking due to the difficulties of distinguishing pure domestication effects from preexisting genetic differences between farmed and wild mammals and birds. Here, we use a farmed fish as model to investigate the role of persistent changes in DNA methylation (epimutations) in the process of domestication.We show that early domesticates of sea bass, with no genetic differences with wild counterparts, contain epimutations in tissues with different embryonic origins. About one fifth of epimutations that persist into adulthood are established by the time of gastrulation and affect genes involved in developmental processes that are expressed in embryonic structures, including the neural crest. Some of these genes are differentially expressed in sea bass with lower jaw malformations, a key feature of domestication syndrome. Interestingly, these epimutations significantly overlap with cytosine-to-thymine polymorphisms after 25 years of selective breeding. Furthermore, epimutated genes coincide with genes under positive selection in other domesticates. We argue that the initial stages of domestication include dynamic alterations in DNA methylation of developmental genes that affect the neural crest. Our results suggest a role for epimutations during the beginning of domestication that could be fixed as genetic variants and suggest a conserved molecular process to explain Darwin’s domestication syndrome across vertebrates.
