Genetic variation at transcription factor binding sites largely explains phenotypic heritability in maize

ABSTRACT: Comprehensive maps of functional variation at transcription factor (TF) binding sites (cis-elements) are crucial for elucidating how genotype shapes phenotype. Here, we report the construction of a pan-cistrome of the maize leaf under well-watered and drought conditions. We quantified haplotype-specific TF footprints across a pan-genome of 25 maize hybrids and mapped over two hundred thousand (epi)genetic variants (termed binding-QTL) linked to cis-element occupancy. Three lines of evidence support the functional significance of binding-QTL: i) coincidence with causative loci that regulate traits, including VGT1, ZmTRE1, and the MITE transposon near ZmNAC111 under drought; ii) bQTL allelic bias is shared between inbred parents and matches ChIP-seq results, iii) partitioning genetic variation across genomic regions demonstrates that binding-QTL capture the majority of heritable trait variation across ~72% of 143 phenotypes. Our study provides an auspicious approach to make functional cis-variation accessible at scale for genetic studies and targeted engineering of complex traits.

The genetic architecture of cell-type-specific cis-regulation [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Gene expression and complex phenotypes are determined by the activity of cis-regulatory elements. However, an understanding of how extant genetic variants affect cis-regulatory activity remains limited. Here, we investigated the consequences of cis-regulatory diversity using single-cell genomics of >0.7 million nuclei across 172 maize inbreds. Our analyses pinpointed cis-regulatory elements distinct to domesticated maize and how transposons rewired the regulatory landscape. We found widespread chromatin accessibility variation associated with >4.6 million genetic variants with largely cell-type-specific effects. Variants in TEOSINTE BRANCHED1/CYCLOIDEA/PROLIFERATING CELL FACTOR binding sites were the most prevalent determinants of chromatin accessibility. Finally, integration of genetic variants associated with chromatin accessibility, organismal trait variation, and population differentiation revealed how local adaptation has rewired regulatory networks in unique cellular context to alter maize flowering phenotypes.

Zea mays subsp. mays Transcriptome or Gene expression

Project description:Drought represents a major constraint on maize production worldwide. Understanding the genetic basis for natural variation in drought tolerance of maize may facilitate efforts to improve this trait in cultivated germplasm. Here, using a genome-wide association study, we show that a miniature inverted-repeat transposable element (MITE) inserted in the promoter of a NAC gene (ZmNAC111) is significantly associated with natural variation in maize drought tolerance. For maize RNA-seq analysis, pooled tissues from three, eight-day-old maize seedlings were collected from transgenic and wild-type plants, prior to or after 2-hour dehydration, to conduct the RNA-seq analysis.

Systems genetics for maize drought tolerance

Project description:The evolution of maize yields under drought is of particular concern in the context of climate change and human population growth. To better understand the mechanisms associated with the genetic polymorphisms underlying the variations of traits related to drought tolerance, we used a systems genetics approach integrating high-throughput phenotypic, proteomics and genomics data acquired on 254 maize hybrids grown under two watering conditions. We show that the genetic architecture of protein abundances depends on protein function and that water deficit strongly remodeled the proteome and induced a reprogramming of the genetic control of the abundances of proteins involved in drought and stress response. These findings bring several lines of evidence supporting candidate genes at many loci and provide novel insight into the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance.

QX recombinant inbred advanced intercross lines of C. elegans

Project description:Mutation generates the heritable variation that genetic drift and natural selection shape. In classical quantitative genetic models, drift is a function of the effective population size and acts uniformly across traits, while mutation and selection act trait-specifically. We identified thousands of quantitative trait loci (QTL) influencing transcript abundance traits in a cross of two C. elegans strains; although trait-specific mutation and selection explained some of the observed pattern of QTL distribution, the pattern was better explained by trait-independent variation in the intensity of selection on linked sites. Our results suggest that traits in C. elegans exhibit different levels of variation less because of their own attributes than because of differences in the effective population sizes of the genomic regions harboring their underlying loci.

Allelic variation at a major QTL for cell wall related traits and coordinated changes in gene expression in maize

Project description:ngs2015_12_zeawall2-zeawall2-Address the hypothesis that allelic variation at a major QTL for cell wall related traits gives rise to coordinated changes in gene expression in maize-Two pairs of BC2S2 maize lines carrying F271 or F288 alleles in an 18-20 Mb interval of chromosome 6 in an otherwise F271 genetic background were grown in the field at Mauguio (Hérault, France) in 2015 with two row replicates. Irrigation was applied during the summer to prevent water stress. The bottom third of upstream-ear internodes (without nodes) of three representative plants in each of the two replicates were harvested two days before silking. All samples were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C.

Genome-wide QTL analysis in combination with a genetical-genomics approach reveals new candidate genes for the control of tuber carotenoid content in potato

Project description:The aim of this study was to conduct a genome-wide analysis for constituent tuber carotenoid QTL. Using a genetical genomics approach samples from clones with similar carotenoid traits were bulked and patterns of gene expression were measured for each bulk by microarray analysis. Variation of gene expression within these bulks may be due to either polymorphisms located near to or within the gene (cis-eQTL) or indirectly from a distant location on the genome (trans-eQTL). Differentially expressed clones from bulks with contrasting carotenoid traits were genetically mapped in order to re-enforce the QTL analysis, and provide a rapid means of developing gene markers closely associated with the target traits.

De novo assembly, annotation, and comparative analysis of 26 diverse maize genomes

Project description:We report de novo genome assemblies, transcriptomes, annotations, and methylomes for the 26 maize inbreds that serve as the founders for the maize nested association mapping population. The data indicate that the number of pan-genes in maize exceeds 103,000 and that the ancient tetraploid character of maize continues to degrade by fractionation to the present day. Excellent contiguity over repeat arrays and complete annotation of centromeres further revealed the locations and internal structures of major cytological landmarks. We show that combining structural variation with SNPs can improve the power of quantitative mapping studies. Finally, we document variation at the level of DNA methylation, and demonstrate that unmethylated regions are enriched for cis-regulatory elements that correlate with known QTLs and changes in gene expression.

Decoding the regulatory architecture of the maize leaf

Project description:Transcription factors (TF) binding is key to understanding and characterizing the effect of genetic variability on phenotypic differences. Here, we used a novel scalable ChIP-seq approach to annotate the regulatory landscape of the maize genome with binding data from 104 leaf TFs. TF binding regions co-localized with open chromatin regions, with ~70% of TF binding nearby genes. TF binding sites are evolutionarily conserved and show enrichment for GWAS-hits, cis-expression QTLs. Furthermore, the regulatory network shows characteristics of real-word networks such as scale-free topology and larger modularity than random graphs. Finally, machine-learning analyses reveal that sequence preferences are alike within TF families, and that TF co-localization is key for TF binding specificity. Our comprehensive TF-DNA interaction approach provides the starting point to decipher the gene regulatory system in plant leaves.

Testis expression in Mus musculus domesticus WSB/EiJ x Mus musculus musculus PWD/PhJ F2 hybrids

Project description:To characterize the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility in detail, we used a systems genetics approach, integrating mapping of gene expression traits with sterility phenotypes and QTL. We measured genome-wide testis expression in 305 male F2s from a cross between wild-derived inbred strains of M. musculus musculus and M. m. domesticus. We identified several thousand cis- and trans-acting QTL contributing to expression variation (eQTL). Many trans eQTL cluster into eleven ‘hotspots,’ seven of which co-localize with QTL for sterility phenotypes identified in the cross. The number and clustering of trans eQTL - but not cis eQTL - were substantially lower when mapping was restricted to a ‘fertile’ subset of mice, providing evidence that trans eQTL hotspots are related to sterility. Functional annotation of transcripts with eQTL provides insights into the biological processes disrupted by sterility loci and guides prioritization of candidate genes. Using a conditional mapping approach, we identified eQTL dependent on interactions between loci, revealing a complex system of epistasis. Our results illuminate established patterns, including the role of the X chromosome in hybrid sterility.
