Project description:We used flower bud transcriptomes from Collinsia rattanii and its predominantly outcrossing sister species, C. linearis, to explore the genomic basis of mating system and phenotypic evolution in Collinsia, a self-compatible genus. Transcriptional regulation of enzymes involved in pollen formation may influence floral traits that distinguish selfing and outcrossing Collinsia species through pleiotropic functions. These patterns provide clues about parallel evolution in selfing plants.

Project description:Natural selection often produces parallel phenotypic changes in response to a similar adaptive challenge. However, the extent to which parallel gene expression differences and genomic divergence underlie parallel phenotypic traits and whether they are decoupled or not remains largely unexplored. We performed a population genomic study of parallel local adaptation among replicate ecotype pairs of the rough periwinkle (Littorina saxatilis) at a regional geographical scale (NW Spain). We show that phenotypic divergence followed complex evolutionary paths, affecting multiple loci, and including the parallel recruitment of the same genes as well as completely different genes in distinct ecotype pairs. The majority of divergent genes were divergent either for gene expression or coding sequence, but not for both simultaneously, providing evidence for a decoupled evolution among regulatory and coding regions. Overall, our findings suggest that gene expression and coding sequences may evolve independently as a result of being distinctly targeted by evolutionary constraints, and that divergent selection significantly contributed to the process of molecular differentiation among ecotype pairs.

Project description:Topological domains are key architectural building blocks of chromosomes in complex genomes. Their functional importance and evolutionary dynamics are however not well defined. Here we performed comparative Hi-C in liver cells from four mammalian species, and characterized the conservation and divergence of chromosomal contact insulation and the resulting domain architectures within distantly related genomes. We show that the modular organization of chromosomes is robustly conserved in syntenic regions. This overall conservation is compatible with conservation of the binding landscape of the insulator protein CTCF. Specifically, conserved CTCF sites are co-localized with cohesin, enriched at strong topological domain borders and bind to DNA motifs with orientations that define the directionality of CTCF’s long-range interactions. Interestingly, CTCF binding sites which are divergent between species are strongly correlated with divergence of internal domain structure. This divergence is likely driven by local CTCF binding sequence changes, demonstrating how genome evolution can be linked directly with a continuous flux of local chromosome conformation changes. Conversely, we provide evidence that large-scale domains are harder to break and that they are reorganized during genome evolution as intact modules. Hi-C and 4C-seq experiments were conducted in primary liver cells obtained from mouse, rabbit, macaque and dog

Project description:Mammals differ more than hundred fold in maximum lifespan, which can be altered in either direction during evolution, but the molecular basis for natural changes in longevity is not understood. Divergent evolution of mammals also led to extensive changes in gene expression within and between lineages. To understand the relationship between lifespan and variation in gene expression, we carried out RNA-seq-based gene expression analyses of liver, kidney and brain of 33 diverse species of mammals. Our analysis uncovered parallel evolution of gene expression and lifespan, as well as the associated life history traits, and identified the processes and pathways involved. These findings provide direct insights into how Nature reversibly adjusts lifespan and other traits during adaptive radiation of lineages. RNA-seq gene expression profiling in normal liver, kidney and brain of 33 mammalian species.

Project description:Two-dimensional patterning of the follicular epithelium in Drosophila oogenesis is required for the formation of three-dimensional eggshell structures. Our analysis of a large number of published gene expression patterns in the follicle cells suggests that they follow a simple combinatorial code based on six spatial building blocks and the operations of union, difference, intersection, and addition. The building blocks are related to the distribution of inductive signals, provided by the highly conserved epidermal growth factor receptor and Decapentaplegic (DPP) pathways. We demonstrate the validity of the code by testing it against a set of patterns obtained in a large-scale transcriptional profiling experiment. Using the proposed code, we distinguish 36 distinct patterns for 81 genes expressed in the follicular epithelium and characterize their joint dynamics over four stages of oogenesis. The proposed combinatorial framework allows systematic analysis of the diversity and dynamics of two-dimensional transcriptional patterns and guides future studies of gene regulation. Keywords: EGFR, BMP, gain/loss-of-function RNA was isolated from hand dissected, stage 9-10 egg chambers. Five genetic backgrounds were profiled including: wild type, EGFR gain of function, EGFR loss of function, BMP gain of function, and BMP loss of function. Three biological replicates were hybridized for each pathway perturbation. The samples were split across two rounds of hybridization. Each round of hybridizations included three biological replicates for wild type: The first round included EGFR gof, EGFR lof, BMP gof, and wild type controls A1-A3 (GSM313514-16). For these 12 arrays the extraction, labeling, and hybridization steps were done in parallel. The second round included the BMP lof and wild type controls B1-B3 (GSM313517-19). For these 6 arrays, the extraction, labeling, and hybridization steps were done in parallel.
