Project description:Sex chromosomes evolved many times independently in many different organisms. According to the currently accepted model, X- and Y-chromosomes evolve from a pair of autosomes via a series of inversions leading to step-wise expansion of a non-recombining region on the Y chromosome (NRY) and the consequential degeneration of genes trapped in the NRY. Our results suggest that plants represent an exception to this rule due to their unique life-cycle that includes alteration of diploid and haploid generations and widespread haploid expression of genes in plant gametophytes. Using a new high-throughput approach we identified over 400 new genes expressed from X- and Y- chromosomes in Silene latifolia, a plant that evolved sex chromosomes about 10 million years ago. Y-linked genes show faster accumulation of amino-acid replacements and loss of expression, compared to X-linked genes. These degenerative processes are significantly less pronounced in more constrained genes and genes that are likely exposed to haploid-phase selection. This may explain why plants retain hundreds of expressed Y-linked genes despite millions of years of Y-chromosome degeneration, while animal Y-chromosomes are almost completely degenerate. We used a combination of Illumina sequencing of cDNA (RNAseq) and segregation analysis of SNPs identified from RNAseq to identify sex-linked genes in plant Silene latifolia. The experiment involved RNAseq from male and female parents and F1 progeny for two genetic crosses. We submit raw data in fastq format for 11 samples. Four of these samples are single end Solexa reads (a single file per sample) and seven samples were sequenced with paired end Solexa sequencing (two fastq files per sample) - 18 files in total.

Project description:Silene latifolia is a dioecious plant with heteromorphic sex chromosomes that have originated only ~10 MYA and is a promising model organism to study sex chromosome evolution in plants. Previous work suggests that S. latifolia XY chromosomes have gradually stopped recombining and the Y chromosome is undergoing degeneration as in animal sex chromosomes. However, this work has been limited by the paucity of sex-linked genes available. Here, we used 35 Gb of RNA-seq data from multiple males (XY) and females (XX) of a S. latifolia inbred line to detect sex-linked SNPs and identified more than 1700 sex-linked contigs (with X-linked and Y-linked alleles). Analyses using known sex-linked and autosomal genes, together with simulations indicate that these newly identified sex-linked contigs are reliable. Using read numbers, we then estimated expression levels of X-linked and Y-linked alleles in males and found an overall trend of reduced expression of Y-linked alleles, consistent with a widespread ongoing degeneration of the S. latifolia Y chromosome. By comparing expression intensities of X-linked alleles in males and females, we found that X-linked allele expression increases as Y-linked allele expression decreases in males, which makes expression of sex-linked contigs similar in both sexes. This phenomenon is known as dosage compensation and has so far only been observed in evolutionary old animal sex chromosome systems. Our results suggest that dosage compensation has evolved in plants and that it can quickly evolve de novo after the origin of sex chromosomes. 2 Samples (male and female) in triplicates

Project description:Sexual dimorphism can evolve through sex-specific regulation of the same gene set. However, sex chromosomes can also facilitate this by directly linking gene expression to sex. Moreover, heteromorphic sex chromosomes often exhibit different gene content, which contributes to sexual dimorphism. Understanding patterns of sex-biased gene expression across organisms is important for gaining insight about the evolution of sexual dimorphism and sex chromosomes. Moreover, studying gene expression in species with recently established sex chromosomes can help understand the evolutionary dynamics of gene loss and dosage compensation. The threespine stickleback is known for its strong sexual dimorphism, especially during the reproductive period. Sex is determined by a young XY sex chromosome pair with three non-recombining regions that have started to degenerate. Using the high multiplexing capability of 3′ QuantSeq to sequence the sex-biased transcriptome of liver, gills and brain, we provide the first characterization of sex-specific transcriptomes from ~80 stickleback (40 males and 40 females) collected from a natural population during the reproductive period. We find that the liver is extremely differentiated (36% of autosomal genes) and reflects ongoing reproduction, while the brain shows very low levels of differentiation (0.78%) with no particular functional enrichment. Finally, the gills exhibit high levels of differentiation (5%), suggesting that sex should be considered in physiological and ecotoxicological studies of gill responses in fishes. We also find that sex-biased gene expression in X-linked genes is mainly driven by a lack of dosage compensation. However, sex-biased expression of genes that have conserved copies on both sex chromosomes is likely driven by the degeneration of Y allele expression and a down-regulation of male-beneficial mutations on the X chromosome.
