Project description:According to Dobzhansky-Muller model, hybrid sterility is a consequence of independent evolution of related taxa resulting in incompatible interaction during gametogenesis of their hybrids. We proposed that asynapsis of heterospecific chromosomes in meiotic prophase provides a general and recurrently evolving trigger for the meiotic arrest of interspecific F1 hybrids. We used genome-wide expression profiling to quantify misexpression of Chr X and Chr Y genes. The total RNA (20M-bM-^@M-^S30 ng) samples were extracted from 14.5 days juvenile testes (pool of 4 samples), converted to cDNA using the Affymetrix 3 IVT Express Kit and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0ST GeneChips (core facility of the Institute of Molecular Genetics AS CR, Prague, Czech Rep.) We visually checked intensity histograms, boxplots and PCA graph and excluded one PWDxPWK sample that was a clear outlyer on all QC graphs (not shown).

Project description:The Dobzhansky-Muller model provides a widely accepted mechanism for the evolution of reproductive isolation: incompatible substitutions disrupt interactions between genes. To date, few candidate incompatibility genes have been identified, leaving the genes driving speciation mostly uncharacterized. The importance of interactions in the Dobzhansky-Muller model suggests that gene coexpression networks provide a powerful framework to understand disrupted pathways associated with postzygotic isolation. Here, we perform Weighted Gene Coexpression Network Analysis (WGCNA) to infer gene interactions in hybrids of two recently diverged European house mouse subspecies, Mus mus domesticus and M. m. musculus, which commonly show hybrid male sterility or subfertility. We use genome-wide testis expression data from 467 hybrid mice from two mapping populations: F2s from a laboratory cross between wild-derived pure subspecies strains and offspring of natural hybrids captured in the Central Europe hybrid zone. This large data set enabled us to build a robust consensus network using hybrid males with fertile phenotypes. We identify several expression modules, or groups of coexpressed genes, that are disrupted in subfertile hybrids, including modules functionally enriched for spermatogenesis, cilium and sperm flagellum organization, chromosome organization and DNA repair, and including genes expressed in spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids. Our network-based approach enabled us to hone in on specific hub genes likely to be influencing module-wide gene expression and hence potentially driving Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities. A total of 67 (24.4%) of these genes lie in sterility loci identified previously in these mapping populations, and represent promising candidate barrier genes and targets for future functional analysis.

Project description:Hybridization of diverged taxa often result in lethality or sterility. We previously described natural variation for postzygotic incompatibility in the cross of diploid Arabidopsis thaliana to Arabidopsis arenosa. Hybrid seed death in this system has a complex genetic basis, involving many non-additive interactions. While activation of AGAMOUS-LIKE genes (AGL) and Athila elements have been detected 5-8 days after pollination (DAP), the molecular basis of death remains mysterious. To address this problem, we compared 3DAP transcriptomes in interspecific hybrids from two A. thaliana ecotypes, one compatible, the other incompatible. Relative to self crosses of the respective A. thaliana seed parent, hybrids displayed differential expression of key developmental regulators in both the endosperm and maternal seed coat as well as natural variation for stress response genes. Ribosomal protein genes and a photosynthetic cluster of genes were hyperactivated, presumably in response to growth signals. Suppressing endosperm growth factor IKU1 and defense response regulators such as NON-EXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS RELATED1 (NPR1) improved hybrid seed survival. Therefore, in incompatible hybrids disruption of seed development most likely initiates in the endosperm, rapidly affecting embryo and seed coat. The activation of putative POLYCOMB REPRESSIVE COMPLEX (PRC) gene targets, together with a twenty-fold reduction in expression of the FERTILIZATION INDEPENDENT SEED 2 gene, indicates a PRC role. Examination of differential gene expression of incompatible A. thaliana eco. Col-0 X A. arenosa and compatible A. thaliana eco. C24 X A. arenosa hybrid seeds plus corresponding A. thaliana and A. arenosa control crosses.

Project description:Interspecific hybridization often induces epigenetic remodeling that leads to transposon activation, gene expression changes, and loss of imprinting. These genomic changes can be deleterious and lead to postzygotic hybrid incompatibility. In Arabidopsis, loss of genomic imprinting of PHERES1 and presumed failure of Polycomb Repressive Complex is partially responsible for seed inviability observed in A. thaliana X A. arenosa interspecific hybrids. We used this species pair to further analyze the relationship between parent-specific gene expression and postzygotic hybrid incompatibility using two A. thaliana ecotypes, Col-0 and C24, with differential seed survival. We found that maternal imprinting was perturbed for PHERES1, HDG3, and six other genes in both A. thaliana hybrids and paternal imprinting was lost for MEDEA as observed previously. Three classes of retroelements; Sadhu, Athila, and Copia, maintained proper repression patterns suggesting some regulatory mechanisms are not disrupted early in development. We propose that early genome remodeling and loss of imprinting of seed development genes induces lethality in both compatible and incompatible hybrids.

Project description:The formation of new species is often a consequence of genetic incompatibilities accumulated between populations during allopatric divergence. When divergent taxa interbreed, these incompatibilities impact physiology and have a direct cost resulting in reduced hybrid fitness. Recent surveys of gene regulation in interspecific hybrids have revealed anomalous expression across large proportions of the genome, with 30-70% of all genes apparently misexpressed, mostly in the direction of down-regulation. However, since most of these studies have focused on pairs of species exhibiting high degrees of reproductive isolation, the association between regulatory disruption and reduced hybrid fitness prior to species formation remains unclear. Within the copepod species Tigriopus californicus, interpopulation hybrids show reduced fitness associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Here we show that in contrast to studies of interspecific hybrids, only 1.2% of the transcriptome was misexpressed in interpopulation hybrids of T. californicus, and nearly 80% of misexpressed genes were overexpressed rather than underexpressed. Moreover, many of the misexpressed genes were components of functional pathways impacted by mitonuclear incompatibilities in hybrid T. californicus (e.g., oxidative phosphorylation and antioxidant response). We also show that the magnitude of hybrid misregulation is not dependent on levels of protein sequence divergence, even though the latter is correlated with expression divergence between parental populations. Our results suggest that hybrid breakdown at early stages of speciation may result from initial incompatibilities amplified by the cost of compensatory physiological responses.

Project description:In this work, we evaluated the genetic stabilization process, of the intra- (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and interspecific (S. cerevisiae x Saccharomyces kudriavzevii) hybrids obtained by different non-GMO techniques, under fermentative conditions. Large-scale transitions in genome size, detected by measuring total DNA content, and genome reorganizations in both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, evidenced by changes in molecular markers, were observed during the experiments. Interspecific hybrids seem to need fewer generations to reach genetic stability than intraspecific hybrids. The largest number of molecular patterns among the derived stable colonies was observed for intraspecific hybrids, particularly for those obtained by rare-mating in which the total amount of initial DNA was larger. Finally, a representative intraspecific stable hybrid underwent a normal industrial process to obtain active dry yeast production as an important point at which inducing changes in genome composition was possible. No changes in hybrid genetic composition after this procedure were confirmed by comparative genome hybridization. According to our results, fermentation steps 2 and 5 –comprising between 30 and 50 generations- suffice to obtain genetically stable interspecific and intraspecific hybrids, respectively. This work aimed to develop and validate a fast genetic stabilization method for newly generated Saccharomyces hybrids under selective enological conditions. A comparison of the whole stabilization process in intra- and interspecific hybrids showing different ploidy levels, as a result of using different hybridization methodologies, was also made.

Project description:Whilst the hybrids of F1 generations usually experience heterosis for fitness-related traits (including the resistance to parasites), post-F1 generations, due to Dobzhansky–Muller genetic incompatibilities, express numerous disadvantageous traits (including susceptibility to parasites). Genetic disruption in hybrids may also result from the broken system of cyto-nuclear coadaptation. Maternal backcrosses (each parent having with the same mtDNA of parents) and paternal backcrosses (each parent having with different mtDNA of parents) have the same nuclear genetic compositions, but differ in cytoplasmic genetic elements, affecting their viability and survival. Spring viraemia of the carp virus (SVCV), a disease with a serious economic impact in aquacultures, affects almost exclusively cyprinids, primarily common carp, and causes high mortality, whilst gibel carp is a less susceptible species. Our study was focused on the transcriptome profile analysis of head kidney to reveal differential gene expression in highly susceptible common carp, weakly susceptible gibel carp, and hybrid lines, hypothetizing that the patterns of differential gene expression will reflect hybrid heterosis in F1 generations and hybrid breakdown in backcrosses and F2 generations. We expected the differences in differential gene expression between maternal and paternal backcrosses to be in line with the hypothesis of broken cyto-nuclear coadaptation.
