Project description:A fitness landscape (FL) describes the genotype-fitness relationship in a given environment. To explain and predict evolution, it is imperative to measure the FL in multiple environments because the natural environment changes frequently. Using a high-throughput method that combines precise gene replacement with next-generation sequencing, we determine the in vivo FL of a yeast tRNA gene comprising over 23,000 genotypes in four environments. Although genotype-by-environment interaction (G×E) is abundantly detected, its pattern is so simple that we can transform an existing FL to that in a new environment with fitness measures of only a few genotypes in the new environment. Under each environment, we observe prevalent, negatively biased epistasis between mutations (G×G). Epistasis-by-environment interaction (G×G×E) is also prevalent, but trends in epistasis difference between environments are predictable. Our study thus reveals simple rules underlying seemingly complex FLs, opening the door to understanding and predicting FLs in general.

Project description:Characterization of the fitness landscape, a representation of fitness for a large set of genotypes, is key to understanding how genetic information is interpreted to create functional organisms. Here, we reconstruct the evolutionarily-relevant segment of the fitness landscape of His3, a gene coding for an enzyme in the histidine synthesis pathway, focusing on combinations of amino acid states found at orthologous sites of extant species. We find that the His3 fitness landscape is dominated by synergistic epistasis, such that the cumulative effect of amino acid substitutions causes a dramatic decline in fitness. Furthermore, in 63% of sites substitutions were strongly positive in one genetic background and strongly negative in another, with 41% of sites showing reciprocal sign epistasis. This sign epistasis, present in proportionally few genotypes, was caused by simultaneous interaction of multiple sites with demonstrating a complex multidimensional nature of the His3 fitness landscape.

Project description:To dissect local regulation into cis and trans contribution, we measured allelic differential expression in a hybrid cross of two yeast strains and compared it against allelic differential expression in a pool of spores of the same cross. RNA- and DNA-seq of a diploid S. cerevisiae hybrid and its haploid spores.

Project description:This agent-based model is based on an adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) experiment scenario of two mutually cross feeding strains of bacteria and yeast. The bacterial strain secretes vitamins for which the yeast strain is auxotrophic and the yeast strain secrets amino acids for which the bacterial strain is auxotrophic. In particular, the model simulates a situation where a mutation arises in the bacterial strain that results in the emergence of individuals (mutant bacteria) with a higher secretion of vitamins as compared to the wild type (WT). This increase in secretion comes with a cost in terms of fitness (growth rate) of the mutant bacteria. The model can be used to assess if this mutant is able to persist and increase in frequency in the cross-feeding community.

Project description:Aneuploidy is a hallmark of tumor cells, and yet the precise relationship between aneuploidy and a cell’s proliferative ability, or cellular fitness, has remained elusive. In this study, we have combined a detailed analysis of aneuploid clones isolated from laboratory-evolved populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with a systematic, genome-wide screen for the fitness effects of telomeric amplifications to address the relationship between aneuploidy and cellular fitness. We found that aneuploid clones rise to high population frequencies in nutrient-limited evolution experiments and show increased fitness relative to wild type. Direct competition experiments confirmed that three out of four aneuploid events isolated from evolved populations were themselves sufficient to improve fitness. To expand the scope beyond this small number of exemplars, we created a genome-wide collection of >1,800 diploid yeast strains, each containing a different telomeric amplicon (Tamp), ranging in size from 0.4 to 1,000 kb. Using pooled competition experiments in nutrient-limited chemostats followed by high-throughput sequencing of strain-identifying barcodes, we determined the fitness effects of these >1,800 Tamps under three different conditions. Our data revealed that the fitness landscape explored by telomeric amplifications is much broader than that explored by single-gene amplifications. As also observed in the evolved clones, we found the fitness effects of most Tamps to be condition specific, with a minority showing common effects in all three conditions. By integrating our data with previous work that examined the fitness effects of single-gene amplifications genome-wide, we found that a small number of genes within each Tamp are centrally responsible for each Tamp’s fitness effects. Our genome-wide Tamp screen confirmed that telomeric amplifications identified in laboratory-evolved populations generally increased fitness. Our results show that Tamps are mutations that produce large, typically condition-dependent changes in fitness that are important drivers of increased fitness in asexually evolving populations.

Project description:Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) results from enhanced fitness of a mutant hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC), but how such clones expand is unclear. Here, we developed a technique that combines mosaic mutagenesis with color labeling of HSPCs to study how acquired mutations affect clonal fitness in a native environment. Mutations in CH-associated genes, like asxl1, promoted clonal dominance. Single-cell transcriptional analysis revealed that mutations stimulated expression of proinflammatory genes in mature myeloid cells and anti-inflammatory genes in progenitor cells of the mutant clone. Biallelic loss of one such immunomodulator, nr4a1, abrogated the ability of asxl1-mutant clones to establish clonal dominance. These results support a model where clonal fitness of mutant clones is driven by enhanced resistance to inflammatory signals from their mutant mature cell progeny.
