The molecular basis of scale development highlighted by a single-cell atlas of Bicyclus anynana butterfly pupal forewings

ABSTRACT: Butterfly wings display a diversity of cell types, including large polyploid scale cells, yet the molecular basis of such diversity is poorly understood. To explore scale cell diversity at a transcriptomic level, we employ single-cell RNA sequencing of ∼5,200 large cells (>6 μm) from 22.5- to 25-h male pupal forewings of the butterfly Bicyclus anynana. Using unsupervised clustering, followed by in situ hybridization, immunofluorescence, and CRISPR-Cas9 editing of candidate genes, we annotate various cell types on the wing. We identify genes marking non-innervated scale cells, pheromone-producing glandular cells, and innervated sensory cell types. We show that senseless, a zinc-finger transcription factor, and HR38, a hormone receptor, determine the identity, size, and color of different scale cell types and are important regulators of scale cell differentiation. This dataset and the identification of various wing cell-type markers provide a foundation to compare and explore scale cell-type diversification across arthropod species.

Transcriptome Microarray Gene Expression Analysis of Heliconius butterfly forewing and hindwing tissues across pupal development reveals genes underlying wing pattern variation

Project description:Heliconius butterfly wing pattern diversity offers a unique opportunity to investigate how natural genetic variation can drive the evolution of complex adaptive phenotypes. Here we took a large-scale transcriptomic approach to identify the network of genes involved in Heliconius wing pattern development and variation. This included applying 147 microarrays representing the Heliconius transcriptome to assay shifts in gene expression across pupal development among several wing pattern morphs of Heliconius erato. We focused in particular on genes differentially expressed relative to the gene optix, which controls red pattern elements in wings. We combined expression results from three hindwing morphs from Peru and from dissected basal to apical wing elements in two forewing morphs to uncover two main classes of genes. First we looked for candidate upstream regulators of optix by determining transcripts expressed differently across basal to apical sections of the forewing prior to optix expression. Second, we assessed how optix regulates downstream gene expression by targeting transcripts with differential expression similar to optix, where expression differs among red wing pattern elements of both the forewing and hindwing.

De novo transcriptome analysis profiles gene expression in Vanessa cardui wing patterns

Project description:Butterfly wing patterns are an important model for studying the genetic basis of morphological evolution. Here we used RNA-seq expression profiling in the butterfly Vanessa cardui to characterize the transcriptional basis of wing pigmentation. This approach identified numerous candidate genes including known and suspected components of the insect melanin and ommochrome biosynthetic pathways.

DamID profiling of proneural transcription factor binding in Drosophila melanogaster wing imaginal discs

Project description:Genome-wide identification of the binding sites of the Drosophila transcription factors Achaete, Asense, E(spl)m3-HLH and Senseless in wing imaginal cells using DamID profiling. Each Dam-fusion-derived sample is compared to a control Dam-only sample. Two biological replicates were performed for sca-Asense, neur-Asense, sca-Achaete, neur-Achaete, neur-Sens and sca-E(spl)m3-HLH.

A single master regulatory gene optix underlies both color and iridescence in butterflies

Project description:It is debated to what extent individual regulatory genes might underlie non-gradualistic evolution of complex morphological traits. We have shown that a single regulatory gene, optix, is required for development of all color and iridescence in nymphalid butterfly wings by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. To investigate how wing features are controlled by optix, we used mRNA-seq to compare transcript abundance in wild type and optix knockout wings of V. cardui and J. coenia. We generated an average of 269 million reads 36 bp paired-end Nexseq 500 reads from 16 libraries and identified numerous candidate genes including known genes involved in the insect melanin and ommochrome biosynthetic pathways and suspected components potential involved in scale structure.

Contrasting roles of transcription factors spineless and EcR in the highly dynamic chromatin landscape of butterfly wing metamorphosis

Project description:Background: We studied the chromatin accessibility landscsape in wings during butterfly metamorphosis, and investigate which transcription factors might be driving changes in accessibility Methods: We sequencing the Junonia coenia genome, and we studied chromatin accessibility using ATAC seq in multiple stages of wing development in both forewings and hindwings. For sites showing a large change in accessibility, we investigate which motifs are enriched, and correlate this with changes in gene expression of associated transcription factors. We confirm promising candidates with ChIP-seq Results: We find a highly dynamic landscape, with multiple peaks showing a double increase in accessibility throughout development. We show that transcription factor spineless, but not ecdysone receptor, is highly predictive of opening sites Conclusions: This work provides a characterization of the chromatin dynamics of insect wing metamorphosis, identifies novel candidate chromatin remodeling factors in insects, and provides the first genome assembly of the model butterfly Junonia coenia, with gene and cis-regulatory element annotations

The genetic basis of structural colour variation in mimetic Heliconius butterflies [erato]

Project description:We use RNAseq data to perform differential gene expression to identify genes controlling structural colouration in two co-mimetic species of Heliconius butterfly - Heliconius erato and Heliconius melpomene. We use comparisons between iridescent and non-iridescent subspecies of Helcionius erato (H. e. cyrbia and H. e. demophoon, respectively) and Helcionius melpomene (H. m. cythera and H. m. rosina, respectively) at two separate developmental stages, 50% and 70% of development. In addition, in the iridescent subspecies of both H. erato and H. melpomene, we compared the iridescent wing regions (forewing and hindwing combined) to the non-iridescent androconial wing region using differential gene expression.
