Butterfly wing pattern mimicry radiated via parallel evolution of ancient, pleiotropic enhancers [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Aposematic color pattern mimicry in Heliconius butterflies provides a well-known example of adaptation via selection on a few genes of large effect. To understand how selection at individual genes can drive the evolution of complex traits, we functionally characterized five novel enhancers of the color pattern gene, optix. In Heliconius erato we found that wing pattern enhancers are largely ancestral, pleiotropic, functionally interdependent, and introgressed between populations. Remarkably, many of these enhancers are also associated with regional pattern variation in the distantly related co-mimics Heliconius melpomene and Heliconius timareta. Our findings provide a case study of how parallel co-evolution of ancient, multifunctional regulatory elements can facilitate the rapid diversification of complex phenotypes, and provide a counterpoint to many widespread assumptions of cis-regulatory evolution.

Genomic architecture and evolution of a seasonal reaction norm [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Here we used artificial selection to assimilate a seasonal wing color phenotype from a naturally plastic population of butterflies. Using SNP association and RNAseq we mapped three genes responsible for wing color fixation, including the color pattern supergene cortex. Combined with endocrine and chromatin accessibility assays, we found that the rapid transition of wing coloration from an environmentally determined trait to a fixed, genetic trait occurred through selection on cis-regulatory alleles of genes with wing-specific functions, not by changes in environmental detection or hormone signaling.

Combined sperm proteome of the monarch butterfly Danaus plexippus

Project description:We characterized sperm from the seminal vesicles of male monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus), in triplicate, identifying 548 high confidence proteins. As with all but the most basal lepidopteran species male monarch butterflies are sperm heteromorphic, producing fertilization competent and anucleate fertilization incompetent sperm morphs. Comparing this data to the sperm proteomes of the Carolina sphinx moth (Manduca sexta) and the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) demonstrated high levels of functional coherence across proteomes, and conservation at the level of protein abundance and post-translational modification within Lepidoptera. Comparative genomic analyses revealed a significant reduction in orthology among Monarch sperm genes relative to the remainder of the genome in non-Lepidopteran insects. A substantial number of sperm proteins were found to be specific to Lepidoptera, lacking detectable homology outside this taxa. These findings are consistent with a burst of genetic novelty in the sperm proteome concurrent with the origin of heteromorphic spermatogenesis early in Lepidoptera evolution.
