Project description:Male gene evolution across corbiculate bees
| PRJNA851587 | ENA
Project description:Female honeybees are specified as workers or queens based on diet during early development. Workers are essentially sterile with a reduced number of ovarioles and no spermatheca. In the presence of the queen (queen mandibular pheromone) and her brood, worker ovaries are kept in an inactive quiescent state. If the queen is removed, or lost, worker bees are able to sense this change in their environment and their ovaries undergo complete remodelling producing unfertilised haploid eggs that will produce male (drone bees). In this study we analyse gene expression in queen, worker, and laying worker ovaries using RNA-seq and explore differences in the chromatin landscape (focussing on H3K27me3).

Project description:Venoms have convergently evolved in all major animal lineages and are ideal candidates to unravel the underlying genomic processes of convergent trait evolution. However, few animal groups have been studied in detail, and large-scale comparative genomic analyses to address toxin gene evolution are rare. Hyper-diverse hymenopterans are the most speciose group of venomous animals, but the origin of their toxin genes have been largely overlooked. We combined proteo-transcriptomics with comparative genomics compiling an up-to-date list of core bee venom proteins to investigate the origin of 11 venom genes in 30 hymenopteran genomes including two new stingless bees.

Project description:Organisms possess highly adaptive defence systems to silence rapidly evolving mobile genetic elements such as transposons. While individual transposons may appear and disappear over time, the evolutionary stability of the defence pathways targeting them remains unclear. In the ovarian somatic cells of Drosophila, envelope-carrying gypsy LTR retrotransposons are silenced by the piRNA pathway, which relies solely on Piwi - an evolutionary derivative of an Aubergine/Piwi gene duplication specific to flies. Recent studies, however, have revealed that envelope-carrying gypsy elements are widespread across metazoans and particularly abundant in insect genomes. This prompted us to investigate whether and how the piRNA pathway targets ovarian somatic gypsy elements in other insects. We found that Aedes and Anopheles mosquitoes, as well as stingless bees and crickets, all express piRNAs targeting gypsy elements in ovarian somatic cells, indicating a continuous arms race for more than 400 million years of insect evolution. Interestingly, we found that Aedes aegypti activate the same set of piRNA clusters in ovarian somatic cells as in other somatic tissues where they are known to target RNA viruses. This suggests that piRNA-based antiviral defence in mosquitoes may have originated from the ovarian somatic piRNA pathway. Moreover, we discovered that the mechanisms of piRNA biogenesis in ovarian somatic cells differ among insects: slicing-independent phasing dominates in dipterans, ping-pong amplification in bees, and slicing-dependent phasing in crickets. These findings indicate that distinct piRNA pathways have independently evolved at different timepoints to silence the same class of retrotransposons in insect evolution.

Project description:Honeybees are very important eusocial insects and are involved in the pollination of many plants. Queen bees and worker bees develop from the same fertilized eggs, and are thus genetically identical despite their substantial behavioural and physiological differences. The mechanism governing developmental differences between worker and queen bees has always attracted much interest. While there are several reports on mRNA expression related to caste differentiation, no systematic investigation of small RNAs has thus far been carried out. Results: Using deep sequencing we systematically profiled small RNA expression in 4th-6th day worker larvae and queen larvae (the critical stages at which the fates of workers and queens are determined), and found that 38 miRNAs were differentially expressed between worker and queen larvae. In addition, 639 mature miRNA candidates were identified in our work for the first time, of which, 526 were expressed only in workers (318) or queens (208). Conclusion: We present the first profile of honeybee small RNAs and explore the mechanism of caste differentiation between worker and queen bees. Caste-specific expression patterns and large discrepancies in small RNA profiles between worker and queen bees indicate that small RNAs may be related to the differential development of worker and queen bee larvae. Results presented here will make a valuable contribution to understanding the caste switch between worker and queen bees.
