Project description:Decades of work in placental (eutherian) species have constructed a paradigm of mammalian development, wherein the genome-wide erasure of parental DNA methylation is required for embryogenesis1-10. Whether such DNA methylation reprogramming is, in fact, conserved in other mammals is unknown. To resolve this point, we generated base-resolution DNA methylation maps in gametes, embryos and adult tissues of the opossum marsupial Monodelphis domestica, revealing extensive variations from the eutherian-derived model. In stark contrast with eutherians, the marsupial genome remains hypermethylated during the cleavage stages and in the embryo proper of the blastocyst. In the extra-embryonic trophectoderm DNA methylation is reduced, suggesting an important evolutionary conserved function for DNA hypomethylation in formation of the mammalian placenta. Furthermore, unlike in eutherians, the inactive X chromosome becomes globally DNA hypomethylated during embryogenesis. Using our DNA methylation profiles, we identify a candidate mechanism for imprinted X-inactivation in marsupials, via maternal promoter DNA methylation of the Xist-like non-coding RNA RSX11. How mammalian embryos employ DNA methylation to regulate their development is therefore more mechanistically diverse than current models can accommodate.

Project description:Evidence from a few genes of diverse species suggests that marsupial X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is characterized by exclusive, but leaky, inactivation of the paternally derived X chromosome. To comprehensively study the mechanism of marsupial XCI, we profiled parent-of-origin-specific-allele expression, DNA methylation, and histone modifications in opossum fetal brain and extra-embryonic membranes. The majority (152/176) of X-linked genes exhibited paternally imprinted expression with nearly 100% maternal allele expression, whereas 24 loci (14%) escaped inactivation showing varying levels of biallelic expression. In addition to regulation by the non-coding RSX transcript, strong depletion of H3K27me3 at escaper gene loci indicates that histone states also influence opossum XCI. Notably, the opossum does not show an association between X-linked gene expression and promoter DNA methylation. Our study provides the first comprehensive catalogue of parent-of-origin expression status for X-linked genes in a marsupial and sheds light on the regulation and evolution of imprinted XCI in mammals.

Project description:Mammalian spermatogenesis is a highly stereotyped and conserved developmental process that is essential for fitness. At the same time, gene expression in spermatogenic cells is rapidly evolving. This combination of features has been suggested to drive rapid fixation of new gene expression patterns. Using a high-resolution dataset comprising bulk and single-cell data from juvenile and adult testes of the opossum Monodelphis domestica, a model marsupial, we define the developmental timing of the spermatogenic first wave in opossum and delineate conserved and divergent gene expression programs across the placental-marsupial split by comparison to equivalent data from mouse, a model placental mammal. Epigenomic data confirmed divergent regulation at the level of transcription, and comparison to data from four additional amniote species identified hundreds of genes with evidence of rapid fixation of expression. This gene set encompasses known and previously undescribed regulators of spermatogenic development.
