Project description:As a perennial herb in Triticeae, Elymus dahuricus is widely distributed in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and Central Asia. It has been used as high-quality fodders for improving degraded grassland. The genomic constitution of E. dahuricus (2n = 6x = 42) has been revealed as StStHHYY by cytological approaches. However, the universal karyotyping nomenclature system of E. dahuricus is not fully established by traditional fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH). In this study, the non-denaturing fluorescent in situ hybridization (ND-FISH) using 14 tandem-repeat oligos could effectively distinguish the entire E. dahuricus chromosomes pairs, while Oligo-FISH painting by bulked oligo pools based on wheat-barley collinear regions combined with GISH analysis, is able to precisely determine the linkage group and sub-genomes of the individual E. dahuricus chromosomes. We subsequently established the 42-chromosome karyotype of E. dahuricus with distinctive chromosomal FISH signals, and characterized a new type of intergenomic rearrangement between 2H and 5Y. Furthermore, the comparative chromosomal localization of the centromeric tandem repeats and immunostaining by anti-CENH3 between cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and E. dahuricus suggests that centromere-associated sequences in H subgenomes were continuously changing during the process of polyploidization. The precise karyotyping system based on ND-FISH and Oligo-FISH painting methods will be efficient for describing chromosomal rearrangements and evolutionary networks for polyploid Elymus and their related species.

Project description:Old World lupins constitute an interesting model for evolutionary research due to diversity in genome size and chromosome number, indicating evolutionary genome reorganization. It has been hypothesized that the polyploidization event which occurred in the common ancestor of the Fabaceae family was followed by a lineage-specific whole genome triplication (WGT) in the lupin clade, driving chromosome rearrangements. In this study, chromosome-specific markers were used as probes for heterologous fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to identify and characterize structural chromosome changes among the smooth-seeded (Lupinus angustifolius L., Lupinus cryptanthus Shuttlew., Lupinus micranthus Guss.) and rough-seeded (Lupinus cosentinii Guss. and Lupinus pilosus Murr.) lupin species. Comparative cytogenetic mapping was done using FISH with oligonucleotide probes and previously published chromosome-specific bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones. Oligonucleotide probes were designed to cover both arms of chromosome Lang06 of the L. angustifolius reference genome separately. The chromosome was chosen for the in-depth study due to observed structural variability among wild lupin species revealed by BAC-FISH and supplemented by in silico mapping of recently released lupin genome assemblies. The results highlighted changes in synteny within the Lang06 region between the lupin species, including putative translocations, inversions, and/or non-allelic homologous recombination, which would have accompanied the evolution and speciation.

Project description:The establishment of the bisexual fertile fish hybrid lineage including the allodiploid and allotetraploid hybrids, from interspecific hybridization of red crucian carp (Carassius auratus red var. 2n?=?100, 2n?=?AA) (?)?×?common carp (Cyprinus carpio L. 2n?=?100, 2n?=?BB) (?), provided a good platform to investigate genetic relationship between the parents and their hybrid progenies.The chromosomal inheritance of diploid and allotetraploid hybrid progenies in successive generations, was studied by applying 5S rDNA fluorescence in situ hybridization. Signals of 5S rDNA distinguished the chromosomal constitution of common carp (B-genome) from red crucian carp (A-genome), in which two strong signals were observed on the first submetacentric chromosome, while no major signal was found in common carp. After fish hybridization, one strong signal of 5S rDNA was detected in the same locus on the chromosome of diploid hybrids. As expected, two strong signals were observed in 4nF3 tetraploid hybrids offspring and it is worth mentioning that two strong signals were detected in a separating bivalent of a primary spermatocyte in 4nF3. Furthermore, the mitosis of heterozygous chromosomes was shown normal and stable with blastular tissue histological studies.We revealed that 5S rDNA signal can be applied to discern A-genome from B-genome, and that 5S rDNA bearing chromosomes can be stably passed down in successive generations. Our work provided a significant method in fish breeding and this is important for studies in fish evolutionary biology.

Project description:Developing the karyotype of a eukaryotic species relies on identification of individual chromosomes, which has been a major challenge for most nonmodel plant and animal species. We developed a novel chromosome identification system by selecting and labeling oligonucleotides (oligos) located in specific regions on every chromosome. We selected a set of 54,672 oligos (45 nt) based on single copy DNA sequences in the potato genome. These oligos generated 26 distinct FISH signals that can be used as a "bar code" or "banding pattern" to uniquely label each of the 12 chromosomes from both diploid and polyploid (4× and 6×) potato species. Remarkably, the same bar code can be used to identify the 12 homeologous chromosomes among distantly related Solanum species, including tomato and eggplant. Accurate karyotypes based on individually identified chromosomes were established in six Solanum species that have diverged for >15 MY. These six species have maintained a similar karyotype; however, modifications to the FISH signal bar code led to the discovery of two reciprocal chromosomal translocations in Solanum etuberosum and S. caripense We also validated these translocations by oligo-based chromosome painting. We demonstrate that the oligo-based FISH techniques are powerful new tools for chromosome identification and karyotyping research, especially for nonmodel plant species.

Project description:Non-denaturing FISH (ND-FISH) technology has been widely used to study the chromosomes of Triticeae species because of its convenience. The oligo probes for ND-FISH analysis of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) chromosomes are still limited. In this study, the whole genome shotgun assembly sequences (IWGSC WGA v0.4) and the first version of the reference sequences (IWGSC RefSeq v1.0) of Chinese Spring (T. aestivum L.) were used to find new tandem repeats. One hundred and twenty oligo probes were designed according to the new tandem repeats and used for ND-FISH analysis of chromosomes of wheat Chinese Spring. Twenty nine of the 120 oligo probes produce clear or strong signals on wheat chromosomes. Two of the 29 oligo probes can be used to conveniently distinguish wheat A-, B-, and D-genome chromosomes. Sixteen of the 29 oligo probes only produce clear or strong signals on the subtelomeric regions of 1AS, 5AS, 7AL, 4BS, 5BS, and 3DS arms, on the telomeric regions of 1AL, 5AL, 2BS, 3BL, 6DS, and 7DL arms, on the intercalary regions of 4AL and 2DL arms, and on the pericentromeric regions of 3DL and 6DS arms. Eleven of the 29 oligo probes generate distinct signal bands on several chromosomes and they are different from those previously reported. In addition, the short and long arms of 6D chromosome have been confirmed. The new oligo probes developed in this study are useful and convenient for distinguishing wheat chromosomes or specific segments of wheat chromosomes.

Project description:Lycoris species have various chromosome numbers and karyotypes, but all have a constant total number of chromosome major arms. In addition to three fundamental types, including metacentric (M-), telocentric (T-), and acrocentric (A-) chromosomes, chromosomes in various morphology and size were also observed in natural populations. Both fusion and fission translocation have been considered as main mechanisms leading to the diverse karyotypes among Lycoris species, which suggests the centromere organization playing a role in such arrangements. We detected several chromosomal structure changes in Lycoris including centric fusion, inversion, gene amplification, and segment deletion by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probing with rDNAs. An antibody against centromere specific histone H3 (CENH3) of L. aurea (2n = 14, 8M+6T) was raised and used to obtain CENH3-associated DNA sequences of L. aurea by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) cloning method. Immunostaining with anti-CENH3 antibody could label the centromeres of M-, T-, and A-type chromosomes. Immunostaining also revealed two centromeres on one T-type chromosome and a centromere on individual mini-chromosome. Among 10,000 ChIP clones, 500 clones which showed abundant in L. aurea genome by dot-blotting analysis were FISH mapped on chromosomes to examine their cytological distribution. Five of these 500 clones could generate intense FISH signals at centromeric region on M-type but not T-type chromosomes. FISH signals of these five clones rarely appeared on A-type chromosomes. The five ChIP clones showed similarity in DNA sequences and could generate similar but not identical distribution patterns of FISH signals on individual chromosomes. Furthermore, the distinct distribution patterns of FISH signals on each chromosome generated by these five ChIP clones allow to identify individual chromosome, which is considered difficult by conventional staining approaches. Our results suggest a different organization of centromeres of the three chromosome types in Lycoris species.

Project description:Poplar was one of the first woody species whose individual chromosomes could be identified using chromosome specific painting probes. Nevertheless, high-resolution karyotype construction remains a challenge. Here, we developed a karyotype based on the meiotic pachytene chromosome of Populus simonii which is a Chinese native species with many excellent traits. This karyotype was anchored by oligonucleotide (oligo)-based chromosome specific painting probes, a centromere-specific repeat (Ps34), ribosomal DNA, and telomeric DNA. We updated the known karyotype formula for P. simonii to 2n = 2x = 38 = 26m + 8st + 4t and the karyotype was 2C. The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results revealed some errors in the current P. simonii genome assembly. The 45S rDNA loci were located at the end of the short arm of chromosomes 8 and 14 by FISH. However, they were assembled on pseudochromosomes 8 and 15. In addition, the Ps34 loci were distributed in every centromere of the P. simonii chromosome in the FISH results, but they were only found to be present in pseudochromosomes 1, 3, 6, 10, 16, 17, 18, and 19. Our results reveal that pachytene chromosomes oligo-FISH is a powerful tool for constructing high-resolution karyotypes and improving the quality of genome assembly.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:IDH1 mutation has been identified as an early genetic event driving low grade gliomas (LGGs) and it has been proven to exerts a powerful epigenetic effect. Cells containing IDH1 mutation are refractory to epigenetical reprogramming to iPSC induced by expression of Yamanaka transcription factors, a feature that we employed to study early genetic amplifications or deletions in gliomagenesis. METHODS:We made iPSC clones from freshly surgically resected IDH1 mutant LGGs by forced expression of Yamanaka transcription factors. We sequenced the IDH locus and analyzed the genetic composition of multiple iPSC clones by array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). RESULTS:We hypothesize that the primary cell pool isolated from LGG tumor contains a heterogeneous population consisting tumor cells at various stages of tumor progression including cells with early genetic lesions if any prior to acquisition of IDH1 mutation. Because cells containing IDH1 mutation are refractory to reprogramming, we predict that iPSC clones should originate only from LGG cells without IDH1 mutation, i.e. cells prior to acquisition of IDH1 mutation. As expected, we found that none of the iPSC clones contains IDH1 mutation. Further analysis by aCGH of the iPSC clones reveals that they contain regional chromosomal amplifications which are also present in the primary LGG cells. CONCLUSIONS:These results indicate that there exists a subpopulation of cells harboring gene amplification but without IDH1 mutation in the LGG primary cell pool. Further analysis of TCGA LGG database demonstrates that these regional chromosomal amplifications are also present in some cases of low grade gliomas indicating they are reoccurring lesions in glioma albeit at a low frequency. Taken together, these data suggest that regional chromosomal alterations may exist prior to the acquisition of IDH mutations in at least some cases of LGGs.
