Project description:We used microarrays to study the evolution of gene expression in two bacterial ecotypes that coexisted for more than 35000 generations of experimental evolution in an extremely simple environment We sampled four clones from each of two lineages at generations 6,500, 17,000 and 40,000 from the polymorphic Ara-2 population of the E. coli long-term evolution experiment. The four clones from each lineage and generation were mixed equally and used for global expression profiling, growth assays and competition experiments. Global expression profiles and growth assays were also performed on the ancestral strain. RNA extractions were done using cells in mid-exponential growth in the same glucose-limited minimal medium used in the evolution experiment. Global expression profiles were obtained by using Affymetrix arrays, with 5 or 6 biological replicates for each lineage-generation sample.

Project description:The metabolome of a cell is the integration point of an organism's environment, genetics, and gene expression pattern. The metabolic phenotype can be under selection and is known to contribute to adaption. However, the metabolome's inherent networked and convoluted nature makes relating mutations, metabolic changes, and effects on fitness challenging. To overcome this challenge, we use the Long Term Evolution Experiment (LTEE) as a model to understand how mutations can transduce themselves through a cellular network, eventually affecting metabolism and perhaps fitness. We used mass-spectropscopy to broadly survey the metabolomes of both ancestors and all 12 evolved lines and combined this with genomic and expression data to suggest how mutations that alter specific reaction pathways, such as the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, might increase fitness in the system. Our work brings the field closer to a complete genotype-phenotype map for the LTEE and a better understanding of how mutations might affect fitness through the metabolome. We used mass-spectroscopy to profile metabolic changes in the Long Term Evolution Experiment and link these change to upstream changes in gene expression and mutations.

Project description:Although the relationship between phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary dynamics has attracted large interest, very little is known about the contribution of phenotypic plasticity to adaptive evolution. In this study, we analyzed phenotypic and genotypic changes in E. coli cells during adaptive evolution to ethanol stress. To quantify the phenotypic changes, transcriptome analyses were performed. We previously obtained 6 independently evolved ethanol tolerant E. coli strains, strains A through F, by culturing cells under 5% ethanol stress for about 1000 generations and found a significantly larger growth rate than the parent strains (Horinouchi et al, 2010, PMID: 20955615). To elucidate the phenotypic changes that occurred during adaptive evolution, we quantified the time-series of the expression changes by microarray analysis. Starting from frozen stocks obtained at 6 time points (0, 384, 744, 1224, 1824 and 2496 hours) in laboratory evolution, cells were cultured under 5% ethanol stress, and mRNA samples were obtained in the exponential growth phase for microarray analysis.

Project description:A Saccharomyces cerevisiae population was cultured for many generations under conditions to which it is not optimally adapted. These experiments were designed to investigate adaptive evolution under natural selection. This study is described in more detail in Ferea TL, et al. 1999. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 96:9721-6

Project description:microarray experiment to test the gene expression in long term lines of mutator and non-mutator yeast. Here we use an experimental evolution approach to investigate the conditions required for evolution of a reduction in mutation rate and the mechanisms by which populations tolerate the accumulation of deleterious mutations. We find that after ~6700 generations four out of eight experimental mutator lines had evolved a decreased mutation rate. 2 condition experiment, derived experimental evolution strains compared to their ancestor strain. We compared the expression profile of one of the mutator lines (m8) after 6700 generations with its mutator ancestor, and as a control, an evolved non mutator after 6700 generations was compared to to its non-mutator ancestor. In order to prepare cells for expression microarray, glass tubes containing 3 ml of YPD were inoculated from overnight cultures, and grown until the OD600 was approximately 0.3.

Project description:During a 1,000 generations evolution experiment, two types of bacteria (S and L) repeatedly diverged from a common ancestor (A) in a fully sympatric seasonal environment containing glucose and acetate. We compare the transcription profile of the two derived types and the common ancestor in order to investigate the metabolic modifications associated with this adaptive diversification event.

Project description:Gene copy-number variation, which provides the raw material for the evolution of novel genes, is surprisingly widespread in natural populations. Experimental evolution studies have demonstrated an extremely high spontaneous rate of origin of gene duplications. When organisms are suboptimally adapted to their environment, gene duplication may compensate for reduced fitness by amplifying promiscuous activity of a gene, or increasing dosage of a suboptimal gene. The overarching goal of this study is to inverstigate whether CNVs constitute a common mechanism of adaptive genetic change during compensatory evolution and to further characterize the role of natural selection in dictating their evolutionary spread at a population-genomic level. Outcrossing populations of C. elegans with low fitness were evolved for >200 generations and the frequencies of CNVs in these populations were analyzed by oligonucleotide array comparative genome hybridization, quantitative PCR, and single-worm PCR. Multiple duplications and deletions were detected in intermediate to high frequencies and several lines of evidence suggest that the changes in frequency were adaptive. 1) Many copy-number changes reached high frequency, were near fixation, or were fixed in a short time. 2) Many independent duplications and deletions in high frequency harbor overlapping regions which likely include genes that are under selection for either higher or lower rates of expression. 3) The size spectrum of deuplications and deletions in the adaptive recovery populations is significantly larger than that of spontaneous copy-number variants in mutation accumulation experiments. This is expected if larger CNVs are more likely to encompass genes that are being selected for altered gene dosage. Out results validate the great potential borne by gene copy-number changes for compensatory evolution and adaptation. Experimental genome evolution of copy-number variants in 25 experimental lines compared to 5 ancestral control lines.
