A quantitative model for characterizing the evolutionary history of mammalian gene expression

Project description:Characterizing the evolutionary history of a gene’s expression profile is a critical component for understanding the relationship between genotype, expression, and phenotype. However, it is not well-established how best to distinguish the different evolutionary forces acting on gene expression. Here, we use RNA-seq across 7 tissues from 17 mammalian species to show that expression evolution across mammals is accurately modeled by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process. This stochastic process models expression trajectories across time as Gaussian distributions whose variance is parameterized by the rate of genetic drift and strength of stabilizing selection. We use these mathematical properties to identify expression pathways under neutral, stabilizing, and directional selection, quantify the extent of selective pressure on a gene’s expression, and detect deleterious expression levels outside expected evolutionary distributions in single patients. Our work provides a statistical framework for interpreting expression data across species and in disease.

A quantitative framework for characterizing the evolutionary history of mammalian gene expression.

Project description:The evolutionary history of a gene helps predict its function and relationship to phenotypic traits. Although sequence conservation is commonly used to decipher gene function and assess medical relevance, methods for functional inference from comparative expression data are lacking. Here, we use RNA-seq across seven tissues from 17 mammalian species to show that expression evolution across mammals is accurately modeled by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, a commonly proposed model of continuous trait evolution. We apply this model to identify expression pathways under neutral, stabilizing, and directional selection. We further demonstrate novel applications of this model to quantify the extent of stabilizing selection on a gene's expression, parameterize the distribution of each gene's optimal expression level, and detect deleterious expression levels in expression data from individual patients. Our work provides a statistical framework for interpreting expression data across species and in disease.

The life history of retrocopies illuminates the evolution of new mammalian genes

Project description:New genes contribute substantially to adaptive evolutionary innovation, but the functional evolution of new mammalian genes has been little explored at a broad scale. Previous work established mRNA-derived gene duplicates, known as retrocopies, as useful models for the study of new gene origination. Here we combine extensive mammalian transcriptomic and epigenomic data to unveil the processes underlying the evolution of stripped-down retrocopies into complex new genes. We show that although some robustly expressed retrocopies are transcribed from preexisting promoters, the majority evolved new promoters from scratch or recruited proto-promoters in their genomic vicinity. In particular, many retrocopy promoters emerged from ancestral enhancers or bivalent regulatory elements, as well as from CpG islands not associated to other genes. Altogether, these mechanisms facilitated the birth of up to 280 retrogenes in each therian species. Furthermore, the regulatory evolution of the originally monoexonic retrocopies was frequently accompanied by exon gain, which facilitated the cooption of distant promoters and in many cases allowed the expression of alternative isoforms. While young retrogenes are often initially expressed in the testis, increased regulatory and structural complexities allowed retrogenes to functionally diversify and evolve somatic organ functions, sometimes as complex as those of their parents. Thus, some retrogenes evolved the capacity to temporarily substitute their parents during the process of male (meiotic) X inactivation, while others even rendered parental functions completely superfluous, allowing for parental gene loss. Overall, our reconstruction of the complete “life history” of mammalian retrogenes highlights the usefulness of retroposition as a general model for understanding new gene birth and functional evolution.
