Project description:Long-term laboratory evolution experiments provide a controlled record of evolutionary dynamics and metabolic change in microorganisms. Nevertheless, the correspondence between genetic mutation and phenotypic adaptation remains elusive, partly because of the overwhelming number of genetic changes that accrue after tens-of-thousands of generations. Using a coarse-grained characterization of bacterial physiology applied to Lenski's laboratory-evolved strains of Escherichia coli, we identify an intermediate measure between genotype and phenotype that provides insight into the dynamics of adaptation.

Project description:The experimental evolution of laboratory populations of microbes provides an opportunity to observe the evolutionary dynamics of adaptation in real time.Until very recently, however, such studies have been limited by our inability to systematically find mutations in evolved organisms.We overcome this limitation by using a variety of DNA microarray-based techniques to characterize genetic changes, including point mutations, structural changes, and insertion variation, that resulted from the experimental adaptation of 24 haploid and diploid cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to growth in glucose-, sulfate, or phosphate-limited chemostats for ~ 200 generations.We identified frequent genomic amplifications and rearrangements as well as novel retrotransposition events associated with adaptation.Global mutation detection in 10 clonal isolates identified 32 point mutations. On the basis of mutation frequencies, we infer that these mutations and the subsequent dynamics of adaptation are determined by the batch phase of growth prior to initiation of continuous phase in the chemostat.We relate these genotypic changes to phenotypic outcomes, namely global patterns of gene expression, and to increases in fitness by 5-50%. We found that the spectrum of available mutations in glucose or phosphate-limited environments combined with the batch phase population dynamics early in our experiments to allow several distinct genotypic and phenotypic evolutionary pathways in response to these nutrient limitations. By contrast, sulfate-limited populations were much more constrained in both genotypic and phenotypic outcomes.Thus, the reproducibility of evolution varies with specific selective pressures reflecting the constraints inherent in the system-level organization of metabolic processes in the cell.We were able to relate some of the observed adaptive mutations (e.g. transporter gene amplifications) to known features of the relevant metabolic pathways, but many of the mutations pointed to genes not previously associated with the relevant physiology. Thus, in addition to answering basic mechanistic questions about evolutionary mechanisms our work suggests that experimental evolution can also shed light on the function and regulation of individual metabolic pathways.

Project description:Population adaptation to strong selection can occur through the sequential or parallel accumulation of competing beneficial mutations. The dynamics, diversity and rate of fixation of beneficial mutations within and between populations are still poorly understood. To study the changes in the mutational landscape across populations during adaptation, we performed experimental evolutions on seven parallel populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae continuously cultured in limiting sulfate medium. By combining qPCR, array CGH, restriction, digestion and CHEF gels, and whole genome sequencing, we followed the trajectory of evolution to determine the identity and fate of beneficial mutations. Over a period of 200 generations, the yeast populations displayed parallel evolutionary dynamics that are driven by the coexistence of independent beneficial mutations. Segmental amplifications are rapidly gained under this selective pressure, including, common inverted amplifications containing the sulfate transporter gene SUL1. Detailed analysis of the populations uncovers a deep complexity where by multiple subpopulations arise and compete with each another. The most common trajectories to adaptation in these populations are incomplete soft sweeps, with adaptive variants replacing one another. These are CGH arrays. Each experiment compares the DNA content of an experimentally evolved strain with its ancestor.

Project description:Adaptive evolution is generally assumed to progress through the accumulation of beneficial mutations. However, deleterious mutations may also have an important role by promoting adaptive genetic changes that are otherwise inaccessible. Here we study the capacity of the bakerM-bM-^@M-^Ys yeast genome to compensate the complete loss of genes during evolution, and explore the long-term consequences of this process. We initiated laboratory evolutionary experiments with over 180 haploid yeast genotypes, all of which initially displayed slow growth due to the deletion of a single gene. Compensatory adaptation was rapid and pervasive, and it promoted the genomic divergence of parallel evolving populations. The accumulated mutations did not restore wild type genomic expression states and generated diverse growth phenotypes across environments. Taken together, gene loss initiates genomic changes that can influence evolutionary potential upon environmental change. Evolved yeast-lines were generated by growing strains for 400 doublings during 104 days on YPD medium in 96 wells plates, 8 evolved lines were selected for microarray analysis. Two independent colonies of the wild type control, evolved and corresponding ancestor knock-out strains were grown to early midlog and used for transcription profiling by dual channel array against a common reference.

Project description:Population adaptation to strong selection can occur through the sequential or parallel accumulation of competing beneficial mutations. The dynamics, diversity and rate of fixation of beneficial mutations within and between populations are still poorly understood. To study how the mutational landscape varies across populations during adaptation, we performed experimental evolution on seven parallel populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae continuously cultured in limiting sulfate medium. By combining qPCR, array CGH, restriction digestion and CHEF gels, and whole genome sequencing, we followed the trajectory of evolution to determine the identity and fate of beneficial mutations. Over a period of 200 generations, the yeast populations displayed parallel evolutionary dynamics that are driven by the coexistence of independent beneficial mutations. Selective amplifications rapidly evolve under this selection pressure, in particular common inverted amplifications containing the sulfate transporter gene SUL1. Compared to single clones, detailed analysis of the populations uncovers a greater complexity whereby multiple subpopulations arise and compete despite a strong selection. The most common evolutionary adaptation to strong selection in these populations grown in sulfate limitation is determined by clonal interference, with adaptive variants both persisting and replacing one another.

Project description:During the over 300 million years of co-evolution between herbivorous insects and their host plants, a dynamic equilibrium of evolutionary arms race has been established. However, the co-adaptation between insects and their host plants is a complex process, often driven by multiple evolutionary mechanisms. We found that various lepidopteran pests that use maize as a host exhibit differential adaptation to the plant secondary metabolites, benzoxazinoids (BXs). Notably, the Spodoptera genus, including Spodoptera frugiperda (fall armyworm) and Spodoptera litura (cotton leafworm), demonstrate greater tolerance to BXs compared to other insects. Through comparative transcriptomic analysis of the midgut, we identified four candidate genes potentially involved in BXs detoxification in S. frugiperda. Subsequently, we confirmed two UGT genes, Sfru33T10 and Sfru33F32, as key players in BXs detoxification using CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Sfru33T10 evolved independently within the Noctuidae family and is involved in the glycosylation of HDMBOA, while Sfru33F32 evolved independently within the Spodoptera genus and functions as a key detoxification enzyme responsible for the glycosylation of both DIMBOA and HMBOA. Our study demonstrates that the UGT gene family plays a crucial role in the adaptation of noctuid insects to maize, with multiple independent evolutionary events within the Noctuidae family and the Spodoptera genus contributing significantly to host adaptation.
