Development of microsatellites from Fothergilla ×intermedia (Hamamelidaceae) and cross transfer to four other genera within Hamamelidaceae.

ABSTRACT: PREMISE OF THE STUDY:We developed microsatellites from Fothergilla ×intermedia to establish loci capable of distinguishing species and cultivars, and to assess genetic diversity for use by ornamental breeders and to transfer within Hamamelidaceae. METHODS AND RESULTS:We sequenced a small insert genomic library enriched for microsatellites to develop 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci. The number of alleles detected ranged from four to 15 across five genera within Hamamelidaceae. Shannon's information index ranged from 0.07 to 0.14. CONCLUSIONS:These microsatellite loci provide a set of markers to evaluate genetic diversity of natural and cultivated collections and assist ornamental plant breeders for genetic studies of five popular genera of woody ornamental plants.

Array-based cross-species hybridization between genera of Rhabditidae (Nematoda)

Project description:The objective of this work was to determine the effectiveness of cross-hybridization of gDNA from five native soil nematodes to an Affymetrix Caenorhabditis elegans tiling array. Cross-hybridization experiments using C. briggsae, for which genome information is available, allowed hybridisation intensities to be correlated with known sequence differences. Initial analysis of data by conventional array-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) techniques at the chip level lead to misleading results due to an artefact from the combination of scaling, bandwidth smoothing, and differential GC content in exon and intron regions. To circumvent this artefact, individual probes were instead normalized and centered by adjusting for probe-specific thermodynamic binding affinity. However, cross-hybridization of C. briggsae DNA revealed that the resultant probe intensities alone were still uncorrelated to sequence similarity below 90% identity. Below 90% similarity, all probes hybridize uniformly poorly, and above 90% similarity the hybridization differences are not large enough to detect over background, therefore, no 'threshold' ratio of hybridization intensity was successful at identifying probes with similarity to the heterologous genome. In light of the observations described here, we suggest that the criteria for replication and verification of gene expression profiles generated from cross-species microarray hybridizations be more stringent than typically adopted for con-specific hybridizations.

Detecting microsatellites within genomes: significant variation among algorithms.

Project description:BackgroundMicrosatellites are short, tandemly-repeated DNA sequences which are widely distributed among genomes. Their structure, role and evolution can be analyzed based on exhaustive extraction from sequenced genomes. Several dedicated algorithms have been developed for this purpose. Here, we compared the detection efficiency of five of them (TRF, Mreps, Sputnik, STAR, and RepeatMasker).ResultsOur analysis was first conducted on the human X chromosome, and microsatellite distributions were characterized by microsatellite number, length, and divergence from a pure motif. The algorithms work with user-defined parameters, and we demonstrate that the parameter values chosen can strongly influence microsatellite distributions. The five algorithms were then compared by fixing parameters settings, and the analysis was extended to three other genomes (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Neurospora crassa and Drosophila melanogaster) spanning a wide range of size and structure. Significant differences for all characteristics of microsatellites were observed among algorithms, but not among genomes, for both perfect and imperfect microsatellites. Striking differences were detected for short microsatellites (below 20 bp), regardless of motif.ConclusionSince the algorithm used strongly influences empirical distributions, studies analyzing microsatellite evolution based on a comparison between empirical and theoretical size distributions should therefore be considered with caution. We also discuss why a typological definition of microsatellites limits our capacity to capture their genomic distributions.

Antiepileptic drug carbamazepine promotes horizontal transfer of plasmid-borne multi-antibiotic resistance genes within and across bacterial genera.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance is a severe global threat for public health, causing around 700,000 deaths per year. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is one of the most significant pathways to disseminate antibiotic resistance. It is commonly acknowledged that sub-minimum inhibition concentrations of antibiotics are major contributors in promoting antibiotic resistance through HGT. Pharmaceuticals are occurring in our environments at increased levels, yet little is known whether non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals cause or accelerate the dissemination of antibiotic resistance. Here, we report for the first time that the antiepileptic drug, carbamazepine, promotes conjugative transfer of antibiotic resistance genes. It was seen that environmentally relevant concentrations of carbamazepine (e.g., 0.05?mg/L) significantly enhanced the conjugative transfer of multiresistance genes carried by plasmid within and across bacterial genera. The underlying mechanisms of the enhanced HGT were revealed by detecting oxidative stress and cell membrane permeability, in combination with MinION DNA sequencing, genome-wide RNA sequencing, and proteomic analysis. Carbamazepine induced a series of acute responses, including increased levels of reactive oxygen species, the SOS response; increased cell membrane permeability, and pilus generation. Expressional levels of genes related to these processes were significantly upregulated during carbamazepine exposure. Given that HGT occurs widely among different species in various environments, these findings are an early warning for a wide assessment of the roles of non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals in the spread of antibiotic resistance.

Diversity and specificity of microsatellites within Aspergillus section Fumigati.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Microsatellites (or short tandem repeats, STRs) are the genetic markers of choice for studying Aspergillus fumigatus molecular epidemiology due to its reproducibility and high discrimination power. However, the specificity of these markers must be investigated in a group of isolates from closely related species. The aim of this work was to test a microsatellite-based PCR multiplex previously designed for A. fumigatus in a set of species belonging to section Fumigati, namely Aspergillus fumigatiaffinis, Aspergillus lentulus, Aspergillus novofumigatus, Aspergillus unilateralis, Aspergillus viridinutans, Neosartorya fischeri, Neosartorya hiratsukae, Neosartorya pseudofischeri and Neosartorya udagawae. RESULTS: The reference A. fumigatus strain ATCC 46645 was easily genotyped in standard conditions showing a final electrophoretic profile of 8 expected peaks corresponding to each microsatellite locus. Inversely, no peaks were observed for all other species from section Fumigati, with an exception for marker MC6b in A. unilateralis. By screening the genome sequence of Neosartorya fischeri NRRL 181, the results showed that MC3, MC6a and MC7 might be employed for N. fischeri genotyping since these markers present several repeats of each motif. The accumulation of insertions and deletions was frequently observed in the genomic regions surrounding the microsatellites, including those where the A. fumigatus primers are located. The amplification of microsatellite markers in less stringent amplification conditions resulted in a distinct electrophoretic profile for species within section Fumigati. CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, the microsatellite-based PCR multiplex allow simple identification of A. fumigatus and, with a slight modification of temperature conditions, it also allows discriminating other pathogenic species within section Fumigati, particularly A. fumigatiaffinis, N. fischeri and N. udagawae.

Diverse Enzymes With Industrial Applications in Four Thraustochytrid Genera.

Project description:Thraustochytrids are heterotrophic fungus-like protists that can dissolve organic matters with enzymes. Four strains, AP45, ASP1, ASP2, and ASP4, were isolated from the coastal water of Taiwan, and respectively identified as Aurantiochytrium sp., Schizochytrium sp., Parietichytrium sp., and Botryochytrium sp. based on 18S rRNA sequences. Transcriptome datasets of these four strains at days 3-5 were generated using Next Generation Sequencing technology, and screened for enzymes with potential industrial applications. Functional annotations based on KEGG database suggest that many unigenes of all four strains were related to the pathways of industrial enzymes. Most of all four strains contained homologous genes for 15 out of the 17 targeted enzymes, and had extra- and/or intra-cellular enzymatic activities, including urease, asparaginase, lipase, glucosidase, alkaline phosphatase and protease. Complete amino sequences of the first-time identified L-asparaginase and phytase in thraustochytrids were retrieved, and respectively categorized to the Type I and BPPhy families based on phylogenetic relationships, protein structural modeling and active sites. Milligram quantities of highly purified, soluble protein of urease and L-asparaginase were successfully harvested and analyzed for recombinant enzymatic activities. These analytical results highlight the diverse enzymes for wide-range applications in thraustochytrids.

Project description:Premise of the study:Polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed to reveal the genetic diversity of extant populations and the mating system of Sinowilsonia henryi (Hamamelidaceae). Methods and Results:In this study, nuclear simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were developed using the Illumina high-throughput sequencing technique (RNA-Seq). The de novo-assembled transcriptome generated a total of 64,694 unique sequences with an average length of 601 bp. A total of 2941 microsatellite loci were detected. Of the 121 tested loci, 13 loci were polymorphic and eight were monomorphic among 72 individuals representing three natural populations of the species. The number of alleles per locus ranged from one to four, and the observed and expected heterozygosity at population level were 0.00-1.00 and 0.10-0.66, respectively. Conclusions:The developed expressed sequence tag (EST)-SSRs will be useful for studying genetic diversity of S. henryi as well as assessing the mating system among Sinowilsonia species.

Identification and development of microsatellite markers in <i>Hamamelis mollis</i> (Hamamelidaceae).

Project description:Premise of the studyHamamelis mollis (Hamamelidaceae) is a Tertiary relict species endemic to southern China. Polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed to reveal the genetic diversity of this species.Methods and resultsThe genome of H. mollis was sequenced and de novo assembled into 642,351 contigs. A total of 72,097 paired primers were successfully designed from 80,282 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers identified in 63,419 contigs. PCR amplification showed that 96 of the 136 synthesized primers could be successfully amplified, and 22 demonstrated polymorphism. The mean number of alleles, levels of observed heterozygosity, and levels of expected heterozygosity were 4.602 ± 0.140, 0.632 ± 0.020, and 0.696 ± 0.010, respectively. The majority of the 96 primer pairs could be amplified in at least one other Hamamelidaceae species, including Distylium myricoides (60), Loropetalum chinense (39), Exbucklandia populnea (24), and E. tonkinensis (24).ConclusionsThese microsatellite loci provide abundant genomic SSR markers to evaluate genetic diversity of this woody ornamental plant.

Microsatellites Cross-Species Amplification across Some African Cichlids.

Project description:The transfer of the genomic resources developed in the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, to other Tilapiines sensu lato and African cichlid would provide new possibilities to study this amazing group from genetics, ecology, evolution, aquaculture, and conservation point of view. We tested the cross-species amplification of 32 O. niloticus microsatellite markers in a panel of 15 species from 5 different African cichlid tribes: Oreochromines (Oreochromis, Sarotherodon), Boreotilapiines (Tilapia), Chromidotilapines, Hemichromines, and Haplochromines. Amplification was successfully observed for 29 markers (91%), with a frequency of polymorphic (P(95)) loci per species around 70%. The mean number of alleles per locus and species was 3.2 but varied from 3.7 within Oreochromis species to 1.6 within the nontilapia species. The high level of cross-species amplification and polymorphism of the microsatellite markers tested in this study provides powerful tools for a wide range of molecular genetic studies within tilapia species as well as for other African cichlids.

Within- and cross-species predictions of plant specialized metabolism genes using transfer learning.

Project description:Plant specialized metabolites mediate interactions between plants and the environment and have significant agronomical/pharmaceutical value. Most genes involved in specialized metabolism (SM) are unknown because of the large number of metabolites and the challenge in differentiating SM genes from general metabolism (GM) genes. Plant models like Arabidopsis thaliana have extensive, experimentally derived annotations, whereas many non-model species do not. Here we employed a machine learning strategy, transfer learning, where knowledge from A. thaliana is transferred to predict gene functions in cultivated tomato with fewer experimentally annotated genes. The first tomato SM/GM prediction model using only tomato data performs well (F-measure = 0.74, compared with 0.5 for random and 1.0 for perfect predictions), but from manually curating 88 SM/GM genes, we found many mis-predicted entries were likely mis-annotated. When the SM/GM prediction models built with A. thaliana data were used to filter out genes where the A. thaliana-based model predictions disagreed with tomato annotations, the new tomato model trained with filtered data improved significantly (F-measure = 0.92). Our study demonstrates that SM/GM genes can be better predicted by leveraging cross-species information. Additionally, our findings provide an example for transfer learning in genomics where knowledge can be transferred from an information-rich species to an information-poor one.
