Project description:Domestic chicken has been intensively studied because of its role as an efficient source of lean meat. However, commercial broilers resulting from genetic selection for rapid growth demonstrate detrimental traits, such as excess deposition of abdominal adipose tissue, metabolic disorders, and reduced reproduction. Therefore fast-growing broilers represent “obese” chickens compared to slow-growing egg layers (e.g, Leghorn) or wild strain of meat-type chickens (e.g., Fayoumi). Fayoumi chickens, originating from Egypt, represent a harder stain of chickens, which are more resistant to diseases. Leghorn chickens are the original breed of commercial U.S layers. Both lines were maintained highly inbred by Iowa State University poultry geneticists with an inbreeding coefficient higher than 0.95. Both Fayoumi and Leghorn demonstrated lean phenotype compared to broilers, and these three lines of chickens are genetically distant from each other. In this study, we used affymetrix microarray to profile global gene expression of three distinct genetic lines of chickens to identify functional pathways associated with leanness of domestic chickens.

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) protect the germ line by targeting transposable elements (TEs) through base-pair complementarity. We do not know how piRNAs co-evolve with TEs in chickens. Here we reported that all active TEs in the chicken germ line are targeted by piRNAs, and as TEs lose their activity, the corresponding piRNAs erode away. We observed de novo piRNA birth as host responds to a recent retroviral invasion. Avian leukosis virus (ALV) has endogenized prior to chicken domestication, remains infectious, and threatens poultry industry. Domestic fowl produced piRNAs targeting ALV from a genomic locus that was known to render its host ALV resistant. This genomic locus does not produce piRNAs in undomesticated wild chickens. Our findings uncover rapid piRNA evolution reflecting contemporary TE activity, identify a new piRNA acquisition modality by activating a pre-existing genomic locus, and extend piRNA defense roles to include the period when endogenous retroviruses are still infectious.

Project description:Domestication caused significant differences in morphology and behavior between wild and domestic animals, and gene expression changes played an important role in this event. circRNA is a class of non-coding RNA that exerts a wide range of functions in biological processes through the regulation of gene expression. However, the regulatory role of circRNA in the process of domestication is still unclear. Here, we analyzed circRNA expression patterns in the prefrontal cortices of wild boar and domestic pig to determine the potential role of circRNAs in domestication. We identified a total of 11,375 circRNAs and found that 349 and 354 circRNAs were up-regulated in wild boar and Rongchang pig, respectively. This study lays the groundwork for exploring the regulatory role of circRNA in the process of domestication and provides new insights that contribute to further investigation of the molecular mechanism of pig domestication.

Project description:We report the genome-wide DNA methylation mapping of chicken by methylated DNA immunoprecipitation following by highthroughput sequencing, and the gene expression profile of chicken by RNA-seq. For meDIP-seq, about 17,202,074 to 27,501,760 reads were generated for the tissue and liver tissues of the red jungle fowl and the avian broiler each. We found that compared with the red jungle fowl, DNA methylation in muscle tissue of the avian broiler, showed dramatically decline on a genome-wide scale. Furthermore, the length of the highly methylated regions (HMRs) has become shorter in the avian broiler, which has suffered intense artificial selection. In addition to the global changes in DNA methylation, transcriptome-wide analysis of the two breeds of chicken revealed that the patterns of gene expression in the domestic chicken have undergone a specific bias towards a pattern that is more suited to human-made environments with variable expression in certain gene functions, such as immune response and fatty acid metabolism. Our results demonstrated a potential role of epigenetic modification in animal domestication besides the genetic variations.

Project description:In this study, methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing (MeDIP-seq) was used to provide an atlas of DNA methylomes in the heart tissue of hypoxic highland Tibetan and lowland Chahua chicken embryos.A total of 31.2 gigabases (Gb) of sequence data were generated from six MeDIP-seq libraries. We identified 1049 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and 695 related differentially methylated genes (DMGs) between the two chicken breeds. The DMGs were involved in vascular smooth muscle contraction, VEGF signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, and other hypoxia related pathways. Five candidate genes that had low methylation (EDNRA, EDNRB, BMPR1B, BMPRII, and ITGA2) might have key regulatory functions for hypoxia adaptation in Tibetan chicken embryos. Our study provides significant explanations for the functions of genes and their epigenetic regulation for hypoxic adaptation in Tibetan chickens.

Project description:Domesticated animals all show the same patterns regarding phenotypic traits and behaviour, collectively known as the domestic phenotype. All domestic chicken come from the red junglefowl. By keeping three separate populations of junglefowl and selecting for high, low or intermediate fear responses towards humans, the goal is to in the low fear group start to unlock domestic phenotypes.

Project description:Selective breeding of domestic dogs has generated diverse breeds often optimized for performing specialized tasks. Despite the heritability of breed-typical behavioral traits, identification of causal loci has proven challenging due to the complexity of canine population structure. We overcome longstanding difficulties in identifying genetic drivers of canine behavior by developing an innovative framework for understanding relationships between breeds and the behaviors that define them utilizing genetic data for over 4,000 domestic, semi-feral and wild canids and behavioral survey data for over 46,000 dogs. We identify ten major canine genetic lineages and their behavioral correlates and show that breed diversification is predominantly driven by non-coding regulatory variation. We determine that lineage-associated genes converge in neurodevelopmental co-expression networks, identifying a sheepdog-associated enrichment for interrelated axon guidance functions. This work presents a scaffold for canine diversification that positions the domestic dog as an unparalleled system for revealing the genetic origins of behavioral diversity.
