Epigenetic mapping of the somatotropic axis in Nile tilapia reveals differential DNA hydroxymethylation marks associated with growth.

ABSTRACT: In vertebrates, the somatotropic axis comprising the pituitary gland, liver and muscle plays a major role in myogenesis. Its output in terms of muscle growth is highly affected by nutritional and environmental cues, and thus likely epigenetically regulated. Hydroxymethylation is emerging as a DNA modification that modulates gene expression but a holistic characterization of the hydroxymethylome of the somatotropic axis has not been investigated to date. Using reduced representation 5-hydroxymethylcytosine profiling we demonstrate tissue-specific localization of 5-hydroxymethylcytosines at single nucleotide resolution. Their abundance within gene bodies and promoters of several growth-related genes supports their pertinent role in gene regulation. We propose that cytosine hydroxymethylation may contribute to the phenotypic plasticity of growth through epigenetic regulation of the somatotropic axis.

Genome-wide hydroxymethylation profiles in liver of female Nile tilapia with distinct growth performance.

Project description:The mechanisms underlying the fast genome evolution that occurs during animal domestication are poorly understood. Here, we present a genome-wide epigenetic dataset that quantifies DNA hydroxymethylation at single nucleotide resolution among full-sib Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) with distinct growth performance. In total, we obtained 355 million, 75 bp reads from 5 large- and 5 small-sized fish on an Illumina NextSeq500 platform. We identified several growth-related genes to be differentially hydroxymethylated, especially within gene bodies and promoters. Previously, we proposed that DNA hydroxymethylation greatly affects the earliest responses to adaptation and potentially drives genome evolution through its targeted enrichment and elevated nucleotide transversion rates. This dataset can be analysed in various contexts (e.g., epigenetics, evolution and growth) and compared to other epigenomic datasets in the future, namely DNA methylation and histone modifications. With forthcoming advancements in genome research, this hydroxymethylation dataset will also contribute to better understand the epigenetic regulation of key genomic features, such as cis-regulatory and transposable elements.

Genetic and physical mapping of sex-linked AFLP markers in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

Project description:Identification of the sex-determining genes of the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) has important implications for commercial aquaculture. We previously identified an XX/XY sex-determining locus in this species within a 10-cM interval between markers GM201 and UNH995 on linkage group one (LG1). In order to refine this region, we developed new AFLP markers using bulked segregant analysis of the mapping families. We identified three AFLP markers that showed a sex-specific pattern of segregation. All three mapped near, but just outside, the previously identified sex-determining region on LG1. Hybridization of BAC clones containing these markers to chromosome spreads confirmed that the XX/XY sex-determining locus is on one of the small chromosomes in O. niloticus.

Linkage and Physical Mapping of Sex Region on LG23 of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

Project description:Evidence supports that sex determination (SD) in tilapia is controlled by major genetic factors that may interact with minor genetic as well as environmental factors, thus implying that SD should be analyzed as a quantitative trait. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) for SD in Oreochromis niloticus were previously detected on linkage groups (LG) 1 and 23. Twenty-one short single repeats (SSR) of >12 TGs and one single nucleotide polymorphism were identified using the unpublished tilapia genome sequence on LG23. All markers showed two segregating alleles in a mapping family that was obtained by a cross between O. niloticus male (XY) and sex-reversed female (?XY) yielding 29 females (XX) and 61 males (XY and YY). Interval mapping analysis mapped the QTL peak between SSR markers ARO172 and ARO177 with a maximum F value of 78.7 (P < 7.6 × 10(-14)). Twelve adjacent markers found in this region were homozygous in females and either homozygous for the alternative allele or heterozygous in males. This segment was defined as the sex region (SR). The SR encompasses 1.5 Mbp on a single tilapia scaffold (no. 101) harboring 51 annotated genes. Among 10 candidate genes for SD that were tested for gene expression, anti-Müllerian hormone (Amh), which is located in the center of the SR, showed the highest overexpression in male vs. female embryos at 3 to 7 days postfertilization.

ddRADseq reveals determinants for temperature-dependent sex reversal in Nile tilapia on LG23.

Project description:In Nile tilapia sex determination is governed by a male heterogametic system XX/XY either on LG1 or LG23. The latter carries a Y-specific duplicate of the amh gene, which is a testis-determining factor. Allelic variants in the amh gene demonstrated to be major triggers for autosomal and temperature-dependent sex reversal. Further, QTL on LG23 and LG20 show a temperature-responsiveness with influence on the phenotypic sex relative to the sex chromosomes. Here we present a ddRADseq based approach to identify genomic regions that show unusual large differentiation in terms of fixation index (FST) between temperature-treated pseudomales and non-masculinized females using a comparative genome-scan. Genome-wide associations were identified for the temperature-dependent sex using a genetically all-female population devoid of amh-?Y.Twenty-two thousand three hundred ninety-two SNPs were interrogated for the comparison of temperature-treated pseudomales and females, which revealed the largest differentiation on LG23. Outlier FST-values (0.35-0.44) were determined for six SNPs in the genomic interval (9,190,077-11,065,693) harbouring the amh gene (9,602,693-9,605,808), exceeding the genome-wide low FST of 0.013. Association analysis with a set of 9104 selected SNPs confirmed that the same genomic region on LG23 exerts a significant effect on the temperature-dependent sex.This study highlights the role of LG23 in sex determination, harbouring major determinants for temperature-dependent sex reversal in Nile tilapia. Furthermore FST outlier detection proves a powerful tool for detection of sex-determining regions in fish genomes.
