Project description:Selective breeding of domestic dogs has generated diverse breeds often optimized for performing specialized tasks. Despite the heritability of breed-typical behavioral traits, identification of causal loci has proven challenging due to the complexity of canine population structure. We overcome longstanding difficulties in identifying genetic drivers of canine behavior by developing an innovative framework for understanding relationships between breeds and the behaviors that define them utilizing genetic data for over 4,000 domestic, semi-feral and wild canids and behavioral survey data for over 46,000 dogs. We identify ten major canine genetic lineages and their behavioral correlates and show that breed diversification is predominantly driven by non-coding regulatory variation. We determine that lineage-associated genes converge in neurodevelopmental co-expression networks, identifying a sheepdog-associated enrichment for interrelated axon guidance functions. This work presents a scaffold for canine diversification that positions the domestic dog as an unparalleled system for revealing the genetic origins of behavioral diversity.

Project description:The domesticated rock pigeon (Columba livia) has been bred for hundreds of years to display an immense variety of ornamental attributes such as feather color and color patterns. Color is influenced by multiple loci that impact the type and amount of melanin deposited on the feathers. Pigeons homozygous for the “recessive red” mutation, which causes downregulation of Sox10, display brilliant red feathers instead of blue/black feathers. Sox10 encodes a transcription factor important for melanocyte differentiation and function, but the genes that mediate its promotion of black vs. red pigment are unknown. Here, we present a transcriptomic comparison of regenerating feathers from wild-type and recessive red pigeons to identify candidate SOX10 targets. Our results identify both known and novel targets, including many genes not previously implicated in pigmentation. These data highlight the value of using novel, emerging model organisms to gain insight into the genetic basis of pigment variation.

Project description:The domestic cat germinal vesicle (GV), which is physiologically similar to the human GV, gains the intrinsic ability to resume meiosis and support early embryo development during the pre-antral-to-antral follicle transition. However, little is known about nuclear proteins that contribute to this developmental process. We performed proteomic analysis of GVs identified candidate proteins for oocyte competence acquisition.

Project description:The glaucomas are a group of diseases characterized by optic nerve damage that together represent a leading cause of blindness in the human population and in domestic animals. Here we report a mutation in LTBP2 that causes primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) in domestic cats. We identified a spontaneous form of PCG in cats and established a breeding colony segregating for PCG consistent with fully penetrant, autosomal recessive inheritance of the trait. Elevated intraocular pressure, globe enlargement and elongated ciliary processes were consistently observed in all affected cats by 8 weeks of age. Varying degrees of optic nerve damage resulted by 6 months of age. Although subtle lens zonular instability was a common feature in this cohort, pronounced ectopia lentis was identified in less than 10% of cats examined. Thus, glaucoma in this pedigree is attributed to histologically confirmed arrest in the early post-natal development of the aqueous humor outflow pathways in the anterior segment of the eyes of affected animals. Using a candidate gene approach, significant linage was established on cat chromosome B3 (LOD 18.38, q = 0.00) using tightly linked short tandem repeat (STR) loci to the candidate gene, LTBP2. A 4 base-pair insertion was identified in exon 8 of LTBP2 in affected individuals that generates a frame shift that completely alters the downstream open reading frame and eliminates functional domains. Thus, we describe the first spontaneous and highly penetrant non-rodent model of PCG, identifying a valuable animal model for primary glaucoma that closely resembles the human disease providing valuable insights into mechanisms underlying the disease and a valuable animal model for testing therapies.

Project description:High-altitude adaptation is a representative example of vertebrates getting adapted to harsh and extreme environments. To investigate the miRNA expression alterations of goats that were induced by high altitude stress, we performed comparative miRNA transcriptome analysis on six hypoxia-sensitive tissues (heart, kidney, liver, lung, skeletal muscle and spleen) in two indigenous goat populations from distinct altitudes (600 m and 3000 m). We obtained the expression of 1391 mature miRNAs and identified 138 differentially expressed miRNAs between altitudes. Combined with tissue specificity analysis, we illustrated alterations of expression levels between altitudes and among tissues, which suggested the coexisting tissue-specific and tissue-conserved mechanism for hypoxia adaptation. Notably, the interplay between DE miRNA and DE target genes strongly indicated post-transcriptional regulation in HIF-1 signaling pathway, insulin signaling pathway and p53 signaling pathway, which might play a significant role in high altitude adaptation in domestic goats. These results provide insights into the complicated miRNA expression pattern and regulatory mechanism of high altitude adaptation in domestic goats.

Project description:As an important cold-water economic fish species, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exhibits several intra-specific variation in skin pigmentation that can give rise to distinctive phenotypes, and wild-type rainbow trout with black skin (WR) and yellow mutant rainbow trout with yellow skin (YR) are the major two types in the farms, whose distinct skin colors make them suitable model for elucidating the skin pigmentation process. Skin color as a key indicator for selection in rainbow trout farming as well as has a strong visual impact on the consumer when rainbow trout are marketed. Previously, extensive studies have been conducted on skin color in rainbow trout, including the observation of skin spots and the expression analysis of some important pigment genes. However, up to date, no studies have systematically examined the molecular regulation mechanism of skin color difference between WR and YR through a high throughput method. Therefore, the aim of this study was to reveal the molecular regulation mechanism of skin color difference between these two strains at the mRNA and miRNA transcriptome level, and candidate genes, miRNAs and miRNA-mRNA pairs that may be responsible for rainbow trout albinism were obtained.

Project description:DNA structural variation (SV) comprises a major portion of genetic diversity, but its biological impact is unclear. We propose that the genetic history and extraordinary phenotypic variation of dogs make them an ideal mammal in which to study the effects of SV on biology and disease. The hundreds of existing dog breeds were created by selection of extreme morphological and behavioral traits. And along with those traits, each breed carries increased risk for different diseases. We used array CGH to create the first map of DNA copy number variation (CNV) or SV in dogs. The extent of this variation, and some of the gene classes affected, are similar to those of mice and humans. Most canine CNVs affect genes, including disease and candidate disease genes, and are thus likely to be functional. We identified many CNVs that may be breed or breed class specific. Cluster analysis of CNV regions showed that dog breeds tend to group according to breed classes. Our combined findings suggest many CNVs are (1) in linkage disequilibrium with flanking sequence, and (2) associated with breed specific traits. We discuss how a catalog of structural variation in dogs will accelerate the identification of the genetic basis of canine traits and diseases, beginning with the use of whole genome association and candidate CNV/gene approaches.
