Genotype by environment interactions (GEI) play a major part in shaping the genetic architecture of quantitative traits and are confounding factors in genetic studies, for example, in attempts to associate genetic variation with disease susceptibility. It is generally not known what proportion of phenotypic variation is due to GEI and how many and which genes contribute to GEI. Behaviors are complex traits that mediate interactions with the environment and, thus, are ideally suited for studies o ...[more]

Project description:Outbred D.melanogaster populations subjected to >300 generations of natural selection on either control, or 12% ethanol, or variable food (2 replicates each) and exposed, as first instar larvae, to either water control or 12% ethanol. Six experimental populations were established from an outbred base population derived from flies collected in Raleigh, NC, U.S.A. in 1995. They were selected in either control (R), ethanol (E) or variable (M) selection regimes (2 replicate populations in each) according to the following protocol. Each generation of each population was initiated by allowing 20-30 adults to lay eggs in each of 50 vials containing either standard cornmeal-molasses-agar medium (all the vials in the R populations, and half of the vials in the M populations) or medium supplemented with 12% ethanol (half of the vials in the M populations, and all of the vials in the E populations). After 14 days, progeny from the different vials are mixed before being used to set up the next generation. Gene expression experiment conducted after >300 generations of selection as described below.

Project description:This study was performed by testing 21 wildtype genetic lines on four different diets to look at the transcriptomic, metabolomic, and gross phenotype variation. The diets used were Normal Cornmeal-molasses symbolized N, high sugar symbolized 4, high fat F, and control C a low sugar diet. Larvae were raised from hatching to 3rd instar on the respecitve diets at a density of 50 larvae per food vial. Larvae were then collected for metabolomics, transcriptomic, and gross phenotype measurements (e.g. trehalose concentration, triglyceride concentration). Samples for transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. 236 total samples were analyzed. In most cases the are unique technical replicates except in the cases where the line, diet, and biological replicate characterists are identical.

Project description:Royal Jelly (RJ) is a product made by honey bee workers and is required for queen differentiation and accompanying changes in queen body size, development time, lifespan and reproductive output relative to workers. Previous studies have reported similar changes in Drosophila melanogaster in response to RJ. Here, we quantified viability, development time, body size, productivity, lifespan and genome wide transcript abundance of D. melanogaster reared on standard culture medium supplemented with increasing concentrations of RJ. We found that lower concentrations of RJ do induce significant differences in body size in both sexes; higher concentrations reduce size, increase mortality, shorten lifespan and reduce productivity. Increased concentrations of RJ also consistently lengthened development time in both sexes. RJ is associated with changes in expression of 1,581 probe sets assessed using Affymetrix Drosophila 2.0 microarrays, which were enriched for genes associated with metabolism and amino acid degradation. The transcriptional changes are consistent with alterations in cellular processes to cope with excess nutrients provided by RJ, including biosynthesis and detoxification, which might contribute to accelerated senescence and reduced lifespan.

Project description:We combined heritability analysis of larval development rate with a global expression analysis of this phenotype to investigate genotype by environment interactions across three ecologically relevant temperatures in the Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia). We focused upon the development of final instar caterpillars which is greatly affected by temperature, and during this stage the caterpillars build up most of the resources for adult life. Second generation, lab reared larvae, initially collected from the M-CM-^Eland metapopulation, were reared in standard lab condition until 6th larval instar. At the beginning of the final (7th) instar stage the larvae were separated into of three temperature conditions: Cold treatment (temperature profile: 8M-BM-0C 18:00-9:59, 14M-BM-0C 10:00-11:59, 20M-BM-0C 12:00-15:59 and 14M-BM-0C 16:00-17:59) Standard treatment (temperature profile: 15M-BM-0C 17:00-6:59, 18M-BM-0C 7:00-8:59, 22M-BM-0C 9:00-10:59 and 26M-BM-0C 11:00-16:59) Hot treatment (temperature profile: 8M-BM-0C 20:00-7:59, 15M-BM-0C 8:00-9:59, 35M-BM-0C 10:00-17:59 and 15M-BM-0C 18:00-19:59) The temperature profiles mimic the diurnal thermal variation of the natural habitat (M-CM-^Eland islands) of samples. Cold treatment mimics a cool and cloudy summer, Standard represents an average temperature profile in the M-CM-^Eland islands and Hot treatment mimics an exceptionally hot and sunny summer, with cold night-time temperatures. The experiment contained several larval families (full-sib) of which three were selected for gene expression analysis. Samples were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen during mid-development (after 6, 5 and 4 days, for Cold, Standard and Hot respectively). Additional larvae from the same treatments were assayed for survival and growth. Gene expression was analyzed using a mixed model approach to identify genes with potential heritable expression variation (variation among families), genes with plastic expression responses (treatment induced changes) and genes with treatment dependent expression that varies among families (family by treatment interactions). Full-sib larvae from three families (N170, N74 and O171) were exposed to three temperature treatments (Cold, Standard and Hot) during final (7th) instar stage. A total of 35 samples were used to analyze family, treatment and family by treatment interactions in gene expression, using a mixed model approach. This included 3 biological replicates in Cold and Hot treatments from each family and 5-6 biological replicates in Standard (5 in O171) per family. Techinal replicates from each family and additional techical replicates in family O171 (including dye swap replicates) were used to assess robustness of the findings.

Project description:Drosophila males double transcription of their single X chromosome to equalize X-linked gene expression with females, which carry two X chromosomes. Increased transcription requires the Male-Specific Lethal (MSL) complex. One of the primary functions of the MSL complex is thought to be enrichment of H4Ac16 on the male X chromosome, a modification linked to elevated transcription. The roX1 and roX2 RNAs are essential but redundant components of the MSL complex. Simultaneous removal of both roX RNAs reduces MSL X-localization and leads to ectopic binding of these proteins at autosomal sites and to the chromocenter. Some H4Ac16 accumulates at these ectopic sites in roX1- roX2- males, suggesting the possibility of increased expression. The global effect of roX mutations on gene expression was measured by microarray analysis. We found that expression of the X chromosome was decreased by 26% in roX1- roX2- male larvae, supporting the involvement of roX RNAs in the up-regulation of X-linked genes. This finding is broadly comparable to reports of reduced X chromosome expression following msl2 RNAi knockdown in S2 cells. In spite of strong MSL binding and H4Ac16 accumulation at autosomal sites in roX1- roX2- males, enhanced gene expression could not be detected at these sites by microarray analysis or reverse northern blotting. Thus, failure to compensate X-linked genes, rather than inappropriate up-regulation of autosomal genes at ectopic sites of MSL binding, appears to cause male lethality upon loss of roX RNAs. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was prepared from groups of 50 third instar larvae by TRIzol (Invitrogen) extraction and purified using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen). Three independent RNA preparations for each genotype served as templates for probe synthesis. Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 chips were hybridized to these probes (Santa Clara, CA). The affymertrix Drosophila annotation of December 2004 was used to map genes to their cytological locations. Genes were filtered for present/absent calls by a PM-MM (Perfect match- Mismatch) comparison. Autosomal transcripts were normalized on a chip-by-chip basis to bring their median values to 100. The identical degree of adjustment was used to normalize X-linked transcripts. Changes in gene expression were determined by comparing the mean signal intensities of genes on arrays hybridized with roX1SMC17A roX2- probes to those hybridized with roX1+ roX2- probes.

Project description:Background: Cases where genotype-phenotype relationships depend on environmental factors have been quantified for many complex diseases. Such genotype-environment interactions (GEI or GxE) may also affect expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) present in tissues critical for the manifestation of disease. To assess this hypothesis, we performed an analysis of eQTL-GEI resulting from an individual's smoking environment in the lung small airway epithelium (SAE). While the SAE is challenging to sample, this is the cell population that shows the first signs of smoking related stress and gene expression in the SAE appears to play a role in mediating smoking effects on lung disease. Results: We used expression microarrays to assay the SAE transcriptome for a small sample of African-American individuals and we analyzed SNPs genotyped genome-wide to identify GEI affecting eQTL. While a genome-wide trans- analysis identified few instances of GEI after a multiple test correction, an analysis of cis-genotypes identified a small but significant number of GEI affecting lung SAE gene expression. We determined that significant cases of eQTL-GEI were not driven by outliers and we were also able to find corroborative evidence for a few of these eQTL-GEI in a small, independent sample of individuals of European ancestry. Conclusion: Given that the power of GEI tests is low compared to tests of genotype association and that the total sample size of our study was small, including only 61 African American individuals in our focal population, the identification of significant GEI in our study implies that there may be considerable genotype-specific effects on eQTL due to smoking environment. We discuss individual cases of GEI of interest for lung disease, such as SDC1 and ZAK, as well as the broader implications of our results for the analysis of eQTL and for genome-wide association analysis of complex diseases.

Project description:The data in this series forms the basis for the analysis presented in the above named paper. In this study, we used cDNA microarrays to ask if changes in gene expression are observed in response to a dietary shift in Drosophila melanogaster, a dietary generalist. Methods: Flies used in this study were derived from a multifemale collection at Iraklion, Crete, Greece, in August 2002 and reared in the laboratory for several generations. Three replicates were performed. At the start of each replicate, we collected 300 newly eclosed adults, separated them by sex, and stored them at low density in shell vials with standard cornmeal media for 3 days. Sexually mature males and females were placed together and allowed to mate. Mated females were allowed to oviposit overnight in chambers containing cornmeal medium filled Petri dishes (http://flyfood.arl.arizona.edu/cornmeal.php3). Hatching first instar larvae were reared for 36 hours on cornmeal medium in Petri dishes and then transferred to one of two conditions: 1) a control Petri dish consisting of cornmeal medium, or 2) an experimental Petri dish containing pure mashed banana. After 24 hours, larvae were plucked from these dishes, washed, transferred to microcentrifuge tubes in groups of 20, and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. All samples were stored at -80C until RNA extraction. RNA was extracted from each tube using a Qiagen RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Inc., standard protocol). We used cDNA microarrays printed by the Genetic Analysis and Technology Core Custom Microarray Facility at the University of Arizona to assess expression levels. Printing material was amplified from BDGP Unigene library v1.0 containing 6K ESTs. Products were purified using Millipore Multiscreen filtration plates and re-suspended in 50%DMSO solution. Each product was printed in triplicate on Corning GAPSII aminosilane slides using a Virtek Chipwriter PRO microarray spotter. Between 10-15 micrograms of RNA were used for each reaction. RNA was reverse transcribed and labeled with one of two fluorescent dyes, Cy3 or Cy5 (details of protocol at http://gatc.arl.arizona.edu/Services/Microarray/aminoallyllabelling.html). Hybridization was completed on a Genomic Solutions Gentac automated hybridization station. Labeled material was allowed to hybridize to the array for 16 hours at 60°C. Wash conditions were: 1) low stringency wash twice at 50°C for 40seconds (1X SSC/ 0.2% SDS), 2) medium stringency wash twice at 42°C for 40 seconds ( 0.1X SSC/ 0.2% SDS), 3) high stringency wash twice at 42°C for 40 seconds (0.1X SSC). Hybridized arrays were scanned using the Applied Precision ArrayworxE slide scanner. We performed three independent hybridizations and three dye flips for a total of six arrays (2 treatments x 2 dyes x 3 replications = 12 samples, for 6 arrays). Each replicate consisted of an independent biological sample isolated on separate days. Identification of series: There are 18 series in this experiment. The second number in each series record represents the slide number (there were six slides used in this experiment). The third number in each series record represents the set on a given slide. For instance, for series record 331_2_1, these data correspond to slide 2, set 1. Each slide has 3 series numbers assoicated with it, representing set 1,2, or 3 on the slide. Each slide was paired with another in a "dye flip" experiment; thus, slides 2 and 3 were paired, slides 25 and 28 were paired, and slides 29 and 30 were paired.

Adult flies and larvae were raised in regular fly food consisting of cornmeal and molasses at 25°C. Larvae overexpressing either UAS-regulated dMyc;GFP or GFP alone transgenes were generated using the Flp/Gal4 method (Struhl and Basler 1993 ; Pignoni and Zipursky 1997 ; Neufeld et al. 1998 ). Larvae were staged from hatching and raised at a density of 50 per vial at 25°C. Third instar larvae (110 h after egg deposition, AED) were heat shocked at 37°C for 2 h, and larvae were collected 7 h after heat shock (~120 h AED). Total RNA was isolated using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen) as described by manufacturer followed by RNeasy (Qiagen) clear up. cRNA targets were generated using a standard amino-allyl labeling protocol, where 30 µg each of "experimental" (dMyc;GFP: hs-FLP122; Act-GAL4, UAS-GFP; UAS-dMyc) and "reference" (GFP only :ywhs-FLP122; Act-GAL4, UAS-GFP; +) total RNAs were coupled to either Cy3 or Cy5 fluorophores. Paired labeled targets were processed on microarrays using protocols described elsewhere (Fazzio et al. 2001 ). Posthybridized arrays were scanned using a GenePix 4000 scanner (Axon Instruments). Data were generated from five independent replicates (two with one dye orientation and three with the reversed dye orientation) at 7h and 14h
