Genomic evidence for local adaptation in the ovoviviparous marine fish Sebastiscus marmoratus with a background of population homogeneity.

ABSTRACT: Advances in next-generation sequencing techniques have allowed for the generation of genome-wide sequence data, to gain insight into the dynamics influencing genetic structure and the local adaptation of marine fish. Here, using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) technique, we identified 31,119 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for Sebastiscus marmoratus in 59 individuals from three populations in Chinese coastal waters. Based on all SNPs, there was little evidence of genetic differentiation among populations. However, outlier tests revealed 329 SNPs putatively under divergent selection across populations. Structural and phylogenetic topology analyses based on the outliers showed clear genetic differentiation among populations. Gene Ontology (GO) annotation results revealed that most of these outliers are known or hypothesized to be involved in metabolic process. Together with previous work using mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences, the present results further suggest that the population structure is strongly influenced by locally adaptive pressure. Overall, adaptive evolution in a heterogeneous environment plays an important role in inducing genetic differentiation among local populations. This study increases understanding of the factors (including gene flow and local adaptation) promoting and constraining population genetic differentiation in marine organisms.

Project description:Simple Summary Changes in salinity can have an impact on the physiological processes of fish. In this study, RNA-seq sequencing was used to detect and analyze the differential gene expression of Sebastiscus marmoratus in salinity fluctuations and to explore the genes and pathways related to salinity stress. The results demonstrated that pik3r6b, cPLA2γ-like, and WSB1 were differentially expressed in all three groups. All three genes were highly expressed in the high-salt group, with wsb1 being more expressed than pik3r6b and cPLA2γ-like. The results of this study provide some basic theoretical references for the salinity adaptation mechanism of Sebastiscus marmoratus. Abstract The marbled rockfish, Sebastiscus marmoratus, belongs to the euryhaline fish and is an oviparous scleractinian fish. There are few studies on the adaptation mechanism, functional genes, and related pathways of S. marmoratus and salinity. The results showed that a total of 72.1 GB of clean reads were obtained and all clean reads annotated a total of 25,278 Unigenes, of which 2,160 were novel genes. Compared to 20‰, 479 and 520 differential genes were obtained for 35‰ and 10‰, respectively. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed significant enrichment in protein binding, ion binding, ATP binding, and catalytic activity. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) showed that differentially expressed genes significantly expressed under salinity stress were mainly involved in the pathways of the cytochrome P450 metabolism of xenobiotics, tryptophan metabolism, cellular senescence, and calcium signaling pathways. Among them, pik3r6b, cPLA2γ-like, and WSB1 were differentially expressed in all three groups, and they were associated with apoptosis, inflammation, DNA damage, immune regulation, and other physiological processes. Six differentially expressed genes were randomly selected for qRT-PCR validation, and the results showed that the transcriptomic data were of high confidence.
