Polygenic and directional regulatory evolution across pathways in Saccharomyces


ABSTRACT: We assess the prevalence of polygenic evolution in pathways between the yeasts S. cerevisiae and S. bayanus. We first established short-read sequencing methods to detect cis-regulatory variation in a diploid hybrid between the species. We then formulated an analytic strategy to test for the scenario in which selective pressure in one species, to increase or decrease the activity of a pathway, has driven the accumulation of cis-regulatory variants that act in the same direction on gene expression. Application of this test revealed a variety of yeast pathways with evidence for directional regulatory evolution.

The search to understand how genomes innovate in response to selection dominates the field of evolutionary biology. Powerful molecular evolution approaches have been developed to test individual loci for signatures of selection. In many cases, however, an organism's response to changes in selective pressure may be mediated by multiple genes, whose products function together in a cellular process or pathway. Here we assess the prevalence of polygenic evolution in pathways in the yeasts Saccharomy  ...[more]
