Major gene expression changes and epigenetic remodelling in Nile tilapia muscle after just one generation of domestication


ABSTRACT: Background: The historically recent domestication of fishes has been essential for mankind due to the overexploitation of natural stocks and the increasing protein demand to meet the needs of a growing human population. Selection for relevant traits, such as growth, during domestication is a complex process whose epigenetic basis is poorly understood. Results: We have determined changes that occur in the muscle transcriptome after a single generation of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) domestication. There was a downregulation of 2015 genes in fish reared in captivity compared to their wild progenitors. In contrast, several myogenic and metabolic genes that can affect growth potential were upregulated. Methods: RNA was extracted and ribosomal RNA was removed using the Ribo-Zero gold rRNA removal kit. RNA libraries were prepared using the NEBNext Ultra II directional RNA library prep kit for Illumina. In total, we obtained 480 million 150 bp paired-end reads. Conclusion: Taken together, our data indicate that thousands of genes were differentially expressed within a single generation of fish domestication.
