Project description:The genetic structure of the indigenous hunter-gatherer peoples of Southern Africa, the oldest known lineage of modern man, holds an important key to understanding humanity's early history. Previously sequenced human genomes have been limited to recently diverged populations. Here we present the first complete genome sequences of an indigenous hunter-gatherer from the Kalahari Desert and of a Bantu from Southern Africa, as well as protein-coding regions from an additional three hunter-gatherers from disparate regions of the Kalahari. We characterize the extent of whole-genome and exome diversity among the five men, reporting 1.3 million novel DNA differences genome-wide, and 13,146 novel amino-acid variants. These data allow genetic relationships among Southern African foragers and neighboring agriculturalists to be traced more accurately than was previously possible. Adding the described variants to current databases will facilitate inclusion of Southern Africans in medical research efforts.

Project description:The history of click-speaking Khoe-San, and African populations in general, remains poorly understood. We genotyped ~2.3 million SNPs in 220 southern Africans and found that the Khoe-San diverged from other populations at least 100,000 years ago, but structure within the Khoe-San dated back to about 35,000 years ago. Genetic variation in various sub-Saharan populations did not localize the origin of modern humans to a single geographic region within Africa, instead, it indicated a history of admixture and stratification. We found evidence of adaptation targeting muscle function and immune response, potential adaptive introgression of UV-light protection, and selection predating modern human diversification involving skeletal and neurological development. These new findings illustrate the importance of African genomic diversity in understanding human evolutionary history .220 samples were analysed with the Illumina HumanOmni2.5-Quad BeadChip and are described herein.

Adding the described variants to current databases will facilitate inclusion of Southern Africans in medical research efforts. Copy number differences between NA18507 and KB1 were predicted from the depth of whole-genome shotgun sequence reads. These predictions were then validated using array-CGH using a a genome-wide design as well as a custom design targeted at specific regions of copy number difference

Project description:Picocyanobacteria from the genus Synechococcus are ubiquitous in ocean waters. Their phylogenetic and genomic diversity suggests ecological niche differentiation, but the selective forces influencing this are not well defined. Marine picocyanobacteria are sensitive to Cu toxicity, so adaptations to this stress could represent a selective force within, and between, “species” also known as clades. We compared Cu stress responses in cultures and natural populations of marine Synechococcus from two co-occurring major mesotrophic clades (I and IV). Using custom microarrays and proteomics to characterize expression responses to Cu in the lab and field, we found evidence for a general stress regulon in marine Synechococcus. However, the two clades also exhibited distinct responses to copper. The Clade I representative induced expression of genomic island genes in cultures and Southern California Bight populations, while the Clade IV representative downregulated Fe-limitation proteins. Copper incubation experiments suggest that Clade IV populations may harbor stress-tolerant subgroups, and thus fitness tradeoffs may govern Cu-tolerant strain distributions. This work demonstrates that Synechococcus has distinct adaptive strategies to deal with Cu toxicity at both the clade and subclade level, implying that metal toxicity and stress response adaptations represent an important selective force for influencing diversity within marine Synechococcus populations.

Project description:Koala Retrovirus-A is a gamma-retrovirus sweeping wild koalas via a combination of horizontal and vertical transfer, contributing substantial genomic diversity across and even within koala populations. While studies have estimated KoRV-A's integration into the koala genome occurred 120–50,000 years ago, the origin and spread patterns of its endogenization remain unclear. Here, we analyze KoRV-A germline insertions using whole-genome sequencing data from 405 wild koalas, encompassing nearly the full koala habitat range. We map a trajectory of KoRV-A evolution and propose that KoRV-A first entered the koala germline genome near Coffs Harbour. As KoRV-A spread, replication-competitive subtypes emerged, two of which recombined with an ancient endogenous retrovirus, PhER, resulting in distinct recombination variants across northern and southern koala populations. Additionally, we identified a geographic barrier north of Sydney, which has slowed the southward spread of KoRV-A into Sydney and beyond.

Project description:Southern California (USA) populations of the intertidal marine snail Chlorostoma (formerly Tegula) funebralis are generally exposed to higher air and water temperatures than northern California populations. Previous studies have shown that southern populations are more tolerant of heat stress than northern populations. To assess the potential role of gene regulation in these regional differences, we examined transcriptome responses to thermal stress in two southern and two northern populations of C. funebralis. Snails from the four populations were acclimated to a common lab environment, exposed to a heat stress representative of natural low tide conditions, and then analyzed using RNA-Seq to characterize changes in gene expression associated with stress and differences in expression across geographic regions. Changes in expression following stress were dominated by genes involved in apoptosis, the inflammatory response, response to mis and unfolded proteins, and ubiquitination of proteins. Heat shock proteins (Hsps) were up-regulated in both northern and southern populations. However, while the magnitude of the response was significantly greater in northern populations for the majority of Hsp70s, the southern populations showed a greater up-regulation for roughly half of the Hsp40s, which are co-chaperones for Hsp70s. Differential expression analysis of the control versus treatment genes in the northern and southern populations respectively revealed that 56 genes, many involved in the inflammation and immune response, responded to heat stress only in the northern populations. Moreover, several of the molecular chaperones and antioxidant genes that were not differentially expressed in the southern populations instead showed higher constitutive expression under control conditions compared to the northern populations. The expression levels of some of these constitutive genes such as superoxide dismutase were also found to positively correlate with survival following heat stress. This suggests that expression of these genes has evolved a degree of “frontloading” that may contribute to the higher thermal tolerance of southern populations.
