Functional genomics resources for the North Atlantic copepod, Calanus finmarchicus: EST database and physiological microarray.

ABSTRACT: The copepod, Calanus finmarchicus is a keystone species for the North Atlantic. Because of recent changes in the geographic distribution of this species, there are questions as to how this organism responds physiologically to environmental cues. Molecular techniques allow for examination and new understanding of these physiological changes. Here, we describe the development of a microarray for high-throughput studies of the physiological ecology of C. finmarchicus. An EST database was generated for this species using a normalized cDNA library derived from adult and sub-adult individuals. Sequence data were clustered into contigs and annotated using Blastx. Target transcripts were selected, and unique, 50 base-pair, oligomer probes were generated for 995 genes. Blast2GO processing provided detailed information on gene function. The selected targets included broad representation of biological processes, cellular components, and molecular functions. The microarray was tested in two sets of comparisons: adult females maintained at different food concentrations and field-caught sub-adults showing differences in lipid storage. Up-regulated and down-regulated transcripts were identified for both comparisons. Only a small subset of the genes up-regulated in low food individuals were also up-regulated in lipid-poor animals; no overlap was seen between the genes down-regulated in the two comparisons.

Testing of the physiological microarray for Calanus finmarchicus by using experimental and field collected samples

Project description:Physiological changes in response to environmental cues are not easily documented in pelagic copepods using traditional methods. Molecular biological tools provide new approaches to the investigation of difficult to sample organisms such as oceanic zooplankton. Here, we describe the development of a species-specific microarray for high-throughput studies of the physiological ecology of the North Atlantic copepod Calanus finmarchicus. An EST database was generated for this species using a normalized cDNA library derived from adult and sub-adult individuals from the Gulf of Maine. Sequence data were clustered into contigs and annotated using Blastx. Target transcripts were selected, and unique, 50 base-pair long, oligomer probes were designed and synthesized for 995 genes. Bioinformatic processing using Blast2GO software provided detailed information on gene function. The selected targets include a broad representation of biological processes, cellular components, and molecular functions. The microarray was tested on both experimental and ecological samples, i.e. food abundance and two morphotypes exhibiting distinct lipid stores, respectively. Differentially regulated transcripts were identified for both comparisons. Two comparisons were performed: 1) Lipid-rich (fat) and Lipid-poor (thin) morphotypes 2) Copepods kept under high food and low food experimental conditions

Proteomic analysis of Tmem232-/- and wild type mice sperm

Project description:The sperm were harvested from caudal epididymides of 8-week-old Tmem232-/- and wild-type adult male mice, and subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis.The total proteins of 5,199 were identified and 4,380 of them were quantified. Results showed that 385 differentially expressed proteins were identified including 88 up-regulated and 255 down-regulated genes (Fold Change≥1.5, P<0.05), and group comparisons were presented in a volcano plot.

Expression data from batch cultivations with A. niger, A. oryzae and A. nidulans grown on glucose and glycerol

Project description:Conserved transcriptional regulation of glycerol metabolism was investigated in three Aspergillus species, A. nidulans, A. oryzae and A. niger. For this purpose, batch cultivations under well controlled conditions were performed with the three Aspergilli. Samples for RNA extraction were collected and further processed for hybridization in custom designed Affymetrix microarrays containing probes for the three Aspergillus species. Protein comparisons and cross analysis with gene expression data of all three species resulted in the identification of 88 genes having a conserved response across the three Aspergillus species. A promoter analysis of the up-regulated genes led to the identification of a conserved binding site for a putative regulator.

RNA-Seq of Nothobranchius furzeri brain of male and female with an age of 39-108 days post hatch (dph).

Project description:A vast body of studies is available that describes age-dependent gene expression in relationship to aging in a number of different model species. These data were obtained from animals kept in conditions with reduced environmental challenges, abundant food and deprivation of natural sensory stimulation. Here we compared wild- and captive-aging in the short-lived turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri). These fish inhabit temporary ponds in the African savannah and when the ponds are flooded eggs hatch synchronously enabling a precise timing of the population age. We collected brains for wild fish of different ages and quantified the global age-dependent regulation of transcripts using RNAseq. A major difference between captive and wild population is that wild population reach larger sizes and cease their growth rapidly, enabling the analysis of age-dependent gene expression without the confounding effect of adult brain growth.We found that the majority of differentially-expressed genes show the same direction of regulation in wild- and captive-population. However, a number of genes were regulated in opposite direction. Genes down-regulated in the wild and up-regulated in captivity were enriched for terms related to neuronal communication. Genes up-regulated in the wild and down-regulated in captive conditions were up-regulated in terms related to DNA replication. Finally, the rate of age-dependent gene regulation was higher in the wild animals suggesting a phenomenon of accelerated aging.

Expression divergence of chemosensory genes between Drosophila sechellia and its sibling species and its implications for host shift [Dsec JP]

Project description:Drosophila sechellia relies exclusively on the fruits of Morinda citrifolia, which are toxic to most insects, including its sibling species D. melanogaster and D. simulans. Although several odorant binding protein (Obp) genes and olfactory receptor (Or) genes were suggested to be associated with the D. sechellia host shift, a broad view of how chemosensory genes have contributed to this shift is still lacking. We therefore studied the antennal transcriptomes, the main organ responsible for detecting food resource and oviposition, of D. sechellia and its two sibling species. We wanted to know whether gene expression, particularly chemosensory genes, has diverged between D. sechellia and its two sibling species. Using a very stringent definition of differential gene expression, we found 147 genes (including 11 chemosensory genes) were up-regulated while only 81 genes (including 5 chemosensory genes) were down-regulated in D. sechellia. Interestingly, Obp50a exhibited the highest up-regulation, a ~100 fold increase, and Or85c – previously reported to be a larva-specific gene– showed ~20 fold up-regulation in D. sechellia. Furthermore, Ir84a, proposed to be associated with male courtship behavior, is significantly up-regulated in D. sechellia. We also found expression divergence in most of the receptor gene families between D. sechellia and the two sibling species. Our observations suggest that the host shift of D. sechellia is associated with expression profile divergence in all chemosensory gene families and is achieved mostly by up-regulation of chemosensory genes.
