Project description:In this study, we utilized Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH), using probes designed from EST sequence, to identify genes located on the X chromosome of four species in the stalk-eyed fly genus Teleopsis. Analysis of log ratio values from the CGH microarrays for over 3400 genes produces a strongly bimodal distribution that clearly differentiates autosomal from X-linked genes for all four species. Genetic mapping of 35 of these genes in T. dalmanni indicates the CGH results correctly identified chromosomal location in all cases. Syntenic comparison with Drosophila indicates that 90% of the X-linked genes in Teleopsis are homologous to genes located on chromosome 2L in D. melanogaster, suggesting the formation of a nearly complete neo-X chromosome from Muller element B in the Dipteran lineage leading to Teleopsis. Overall, this study demonstrates CGH is a useful technique for identifying chromosomal sex-linkage and should be applicable to other organisms with EST or partial genomic information.

Project description:We utilized Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH), using probes designed from de novo assembly of a testes transcriptome, to identify genes located on the sex chromosomes and autosomes of a stalk-eyed fly, Teleopsis quinqueguttata. Analysis of X chromosome gene content revealed the evolution of a neo-X chromosome that originated prior to the diversification of the family. Comparison of X-linkage across three species spanning the phylogenetic breadth of the family indicates abundant chromosomal gene movement, particularly for genes expressed exclusively in the testes.

Project description:We utilized Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH), using probes designed from de novo assembly of 10 tissues into a grand transcriptome to identify genes located on the X and Y chromosomes of a stalk-eyed fly, Teleopsis dalmanni. We use next generation sequencing of RNA to identify over 500 genes that are differentially expressed in the testes due to the effects of a driving X chromosome (XSR) in T. dalmanni. Most of these genes were X-linked, evolving more rapidly than control genes, and exhibit elevated expression in the gonads. Finally, XSR has become genetically differentiated from standard X chromosomes – using the RNA sequence data, we found nearly 1000 sites in X-linked genes and only a handful in autosomal genes where there was a fixed nucleotide difference. We conclude that XSR has led to widespread sequence and expression divergence on the X chromosome in T. dalmanni.

Project description:Background: Stalk-eyed flies (family Diopsidae) are a model system for studying sexual selection due to the presence of elongated and sexually dimorphic eye-stalks in many species. Recent genomic studies on these flies have revealed a neo-X chromosome and evidence of gene movement onto or off of this X chromosome. To determine if sex linkage and gene movement are related to sexual dimorphism and sexual conflict, we compared gene expression between males and females using oligonucleotide microarrays and RNA from either developing eyestalk tissue or adult heads from a dimorphic species, Teleopsis dalmanni, or from developing eyestalk tissue in a congeneric monomorphic species, T. quinqueguttata. Results: Comparison of gene expression between the sexes for 3,748 genes indicates that dosage compensation is present due to elevated expression of X-linked genes in males. However, sex-biased expression was detected in 26% of the genes present in eye-antennal imaginal discs of larval T. dalmanni. Functional annotation reveals that female-biased genes are associated with transcription, anatomical development and cell communication in the nucleus, while male-biased genes are associated with metabolism and the mitochondria. Comparison of gene expression between experiments identified 140 genes with concordant sex-biased expression in the larval and adult tissues of T. dalmanni and 17 genes with identical sex-biased expression between species. There were only five reversals of sex-biased expression across experiments. In T. dalmanni, male-biased genes are more common on autosomes than on the X while female-biased genes are more common on the X in T. quinqueguttata. Female-biased expression is especially common among genes that moved onto the ancestral X while male-biased expression is more common among genes that moved onto an autosome. Conclusions: Genes with sex-biased expression exhibit different functions in each sex as expected if sexual conflict has influenced their evolution. The strong relationship between sex-biased expression and gene movement found in this study is consistent with resolution of sexual conflict by an RNA- or DNA-mediated process that moves genes between chromosomes. Measurement of gene expression in additional species should provide a more complete picture of how gene expression change occurs over evolutionary time in these extraordinary flies. Two-condition experiment, female vs. male RNA using larval eye discs for two species (Teleopsis dalmanni, Teleopsis quinqueguttata), and adult heads for one species (Teleopsis dalmanni).

Project description:Chromosomal location has a significant effect on the evolutionary dynamics of genes involved in sexual dimorphism, impacting both the pattern of sex-specific gene expression and the rate of duplication and protein evolution for these genes. For nearly all non-model organisms, however, knowledge of chromosomal gene content is minimal and difficult to obtain on a genomic scale. In this study, we utilized Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH), using probes designed from EST sequence, to identify genes located on the X chromosome of four species in the stalk-eyed fly genus Teleopsis. Analysis of log(2) ratio values of female-to-male hybridization intensities from the CGH microarrays for over 3,400 genes reveals a strongly bimodal distribution that clearly differentiates autosomal from X-linked genes for all four species. Genotyping of 33 and linkage mapping of 28 of these genes in Teleopsis dalmanni indicate the CGH results correctly identified chromosomal location in all cases. Syntenic comparison with Drosophila indicates that 90% of the X-linked genes in Teleopsis are homologous to genes located on chromosome 2L in Drosophila melanogaster, suggesting the formation of a nearly complete neo-X chromosome from Muller element B in the dipteran lineage leading to Teleopsis. Analysis of gene movement both relative to Drosophila and within Teleopsis indicates that gene movement is significantly associated with 1) rates of protein evolution, 2) the pattern of gene duplication, and 3) the evolution of eyespan sexual dimorphism. Overall, this study reveals that diopsids are a critical group for understanding the evolution of sex chromosomes within Diptera. In addition, we demonstrate that CGH is a useful technique for identifying chromosomal sex-linkage and should be applicable to other organisms with EST or partial genomic information.
