Project description:The intrinsic complexity of quantitative traits was evident even before the molecular nature of the gene was understood. Yet we still lack a detailed molecular understanding of complex heritability. Here we alleviated statistical roadblocks to high-resolution genetic mapping by using an inbred population of diploid yeast with very low linkage disequilibrium and more individuals than segregating polymorphisms. We mapped over 18,000 quantitative trait loci, resolving more than 3,300 to single nucleotides. This allowed us to explore the molecular origins of complexity, hybrid vigor, pleiotropy, and gene ´ environment interactions and to rigorously estimate the distribution of fitness effects of natural genetic variation. Our results describe a comprehensive, high-resolution genotype-to-phenotype map and define general principles underlying the complexity of heredity.

Project description:The statistical complexity of heredity has long been evident, but its molecular origins remain elusive. To investigate, we charted 90 comprehensive genotype-to-phenotype maps in a large population of wild diploid yeast. In contrast to long-standing assumptions, all types of genetic variation contributed similarly to phenotype. Causal synonymous and regulatory variants exhibited distinct molecular signatures, as did nonlinearities in heterozygote fitness that likely contribute to hybrid vigor. Highly pleiotropic variants altered disordered sequences within signaling hubs, and their effects correlated across environments-even when antagonistic-suggesting that large fitness gains bring concomitant costs. Natural genetic networks defined by the causal loci differed from those determined by precise gene deletions or protein-protein interactions. Finally, we found that traits that would appear omnigenic in less powered studies do in fact have finite genetic determinants. Integrating these molecular principles will be crucial as genome reading and writing become routine in research, industry, and medicine.

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes is an opportunistic foodborne pathogen responsible for listeriosis, the third most common foodborne disease. Many different Listeria strains and seroptypes exist, however a proteogenomic resource which would provide a basis for bridging the gap in the molecular understanding between the Listeria genotype and phenotypes via proteotypes is still missing. Here we devised a next-generation proteogenomics strategy which enables the community now to rapidly proteotype Listeria strains and relate the information back to the genotype. Based on sequencing and de novo assembly of the two most commonly used Listeria strain model systems, EGD-e and ScottA, we established a comprehensive Listeria proteogenomic database. A genome comparison established core and strain-specific genes with potential relevance for virulence differences. Next we established a DIA/SWATH-based proteotyping strategy, including a new and robust sample preparation workflow, enabling the reproducible, sensitive and relative quantitative measurement of Listeria proteotypes. This re-usable DIA/SWATH library and new public resource covers 70% of the potentially expressed ORFs of Listeria and represents the most extensive spectral library for Listeria proteotype analysis to date. We used these two new resources to investigate the Listeria proteotype in three states mimicking the upper gastrointestinal passage. Exposure of Listeria to bile salts at 37 °C, mimicking conditions encountered in the duodenum, showed significant proteotype perturbations including an increase of FlaA, the structural protein of flagella. Given that Listeria is known to lose its flagella above 30 °C, this was an unexpected finding. The formation of flagella, which might have implications within the infectivity cycle, was validated by parallel reaction monitoring, light and scanning electron microscopy. QPCR data of flaA transcripts showed no significant differences suggesting a regulation at the post-transcriptional level. Together, we provide a comprehensive proteogenomic resource and toolbox for the Listeria community enabling the analysis of Listeria genotype-proteotype-phenotype relationships.

Project description:Although any genotype-phenotype relationships are a result of evolution, little is known about how natural selection and neutral drift, two distinct driving forces of evolution, operate to shape the relationships. By analysing ?500 yeast quantitative traits we reveal a basic "supervisor-worker" gene architecture underlying a trait. Supervisors are often identified by "perturbational" approaches (such as gene deletion), while workers, which usually show small and statistically insignificant deletion effects, are tracked primarily by "observational" approaches that examine the correlation between gene activity and trait value across a number of conditions. Accordingly, supervisors provide most of the genetic understandings of the trait while workers provide rich mechanistic understandings. Further analyses suggest that most observed supervisor-worker interactions may evolve largely neutrally, resulting in pervasive between-worker epistasis that suppresses the tractability of workers. In contrast, a fraction of supervisors are recruited/maintained by natural selection to build worker co-expression, boosting the tractability of workers. Thus, by revealing a supervisor-worker gene architecture underlying complex traits, the opposite roles of natural selection versus neutral drift in shaping the gene architecture, and the complementary strengths of the perturbational and observational research strategies in characterizing the gene architecture, this study may lay a new conceptual foundation for understanding the molecular basis of complex traits.

Project description:Single-cell sequencing has revealed cell state heterogeneity across diverse healthy and malignant tissues. However, the extent these cell states are plastic or heritable remains largely unknown. To address this, we introduce PATH (Phylogenetic Analysis of Trait Heritability), a framework to quantify cell state heritability versus plasticity and infer cell state transition and proliferation dynamics from single-cell lineage tracing data. Here, we used PATH to measure phylogenetic correlations on single-cell phylogenies derived from gliomaspheres to reveal the somatic evolutionary relationships between Neural Progenitor-like (NPC), Oligodendrocyte Progenitor-like (OPC), Astrocyte-like (AC), and Mesenchymal-like (MES) cancer cell states.

Project description:Application of a genome-wide linkage method to identify genotype-phenotype relationships between distantly related strains of E. coli. Each hybridization compares transposon footprinting results from a linkage library under a selective condition with those under a nonselective condition. For each of three conditions, we compare transposon footprinting for a library selected under that condition with those under a reference condition (glucose minimal media). Each experiment was performed in duplicate.

Project description:Coevolutionary change requires reciprocal selection between interacting species, i.e., that the partner genotypes that are favored in one species depend on the genetic composition of the interacting species. Coevolutionary genetic variation is manifested as genotype ´ genotype (G ´ G) interactions for fitness from interspecific interactions. Although quantitative genetic approaches have revealed abundant evidence for G ´ G interactions in symbioses, the molecular basis of this variation remains unclear. Here we study the molecular basis of G ´ G interactions in a model legume-rhizobium mutualism using gene expression microarrays. We find that, like quantitative traits such as fitness, variation in the symbiotic transcriptome may be partitioned into additive and interactive genetic components. Our results suggest that plant genetic variation is the largest influence on nodule gene expression, and that plant genotype and the plant genotype ´ rhizobium genotype interaction determine global shifts in rhizobium gene expression that in turn feedback to influence plant fitness benefits. Moreover, the transcriptomic variation we uncover implicates regulatory changes in both species as drivers of symbiotic gene expression variation. Our study is the first to partition genetic variation in a symbiotic transcriptome, and illuminates potential molecular routes of coevolutionary change. We assayed gene expression using three biological replicates for each plant genotype × rhizobium genotype combination (4 combinations) for a total of 12 chips.

Project description:In plant breeding, heritability is often calculated (i) as a measure of precision of trials and/or (ii) to compute the response to selection. It is usually estimated on an entry-mean basis, since the phenotype is usually an aggregated value, as genotypes are replicated in trials, which stands in contrast with animal breeding and human genetics. When this was first proposed, assumptions such as balanced data and independent genotypic effects were made that are often violated in modern plant breeding trials/analyses. Due to this, multiple alternative methods have been proposed, aiming to generalize heritability on an entry-mean basis. In this study, we propose an extension of the concept for heritability on an entry-mean to an entry-difference basis, which allows for more detailed insight and is more meaningful in the context of selection in plant breeding, because the correlation among entry means can be accounted for. We show that under certain circumstances our method reduces to other popular generalized methods for heritability estimation on an entry-mean basis. The approach is exemplified via four examples that show different levels of complexity, where we compare six methods for heritability estimation on an entry-mean basis to our approach (example codes: https://github.com/PaulSchmidtGit/Heritability). Results suggest that heritability on an entry-difference basis is a well-suited alternative for obtaining an overall heritability estimate, and in addition provides one heritability per genotype as well as one per difference between genotypes.
