Project description:Investigation of whole genome transcription expression level changes in Drosophila mojavensis wild-type populations (1 Punta Onah: PO, 2 Organ Pipe National Monument: OPNM, 3 Punta Prieta:PP, and 4 San Quintin: SQ). The experiment was designed to investigate functional genomic responses to temperature variation (15, 25, and 35 °C) in adult Drosophila mojavensis wild populations. For each treatment 1-5 replicates were used (R1, R2, R3, R4 & R5). SO and BC represents Sonora deserts and Baja California region respectively.

Project description:Molecular phylogenomics investigates evolutionary relationships based on genomic data. However, despite genomic sequence conservation, changes in protein interactions can occur relatively rapidly and may cause strong functional diversification. To investigate such functional evolution, we here combine phylogenomics with interaction proteomics. We develop this concept by investigating the molecular evolution of the shelterin complex, which protects telomeres, across 16 vertebrate species from zebrafish to humans covering 450 million years of evolution. Our phylointeractomics screen discovers previously unknown telomere-associated proteins and reveals how homologous proteins undergo functional evolution. For instance, we show that TERF1 evolved as a telomere-binding protein in the common stem lineage of marsupial and placental mammals. Phylointeractomics is a versatile and scalable approach to investigate evolutionary changes in protein function and thus can provide experimental evidence for phylogenomic relationships.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome transcription expression level changes in Drosophila mojavensis wild-type populations (1 Punta Onah: PO, 2 Organ Pipe National Monument: OPNM, 3 Punta Prieta:PP, and 4 San Quintin: SQ). The experiment was designed to investigate functional genomic responses to temperature variation (15, 25, and 35 °C) in adult Drosophila mojavensis wild populations. For each treatment 1-5 replicates were used (R1, R2, R3, R4 & R5). SO and BC represents Sonora deserts and Baja California region respectively. A total of 97 hybridizations were performed in this entire experiment. We used 135K 12-plex NimbleGen arrays. Total RNA was recovered from each sample listed below. The experimental design consisted a total of four populations (Punta Onah:PO; Organ Pipe National Manument:OPNM, Punta Prieta:PP and San Quintin:SQ), two host diets (Agria:AG and Organ pipe:OP) and three temperature treatments (15, 25 and 35 °C). Each chip measures the expression level of 14528 transcripts. One to 5 replicates were used for each type (R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5). Fly source details are as follows: Punta Onah 2007:PO07; Organ Pipe National Monument 2008:OPNM08; Punta Prieta 2008:PP08; San Quintin 2008:SQ08.

Project description:Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic pathogen that can cause meningitis and sepsis in both pigs and humans. In this study,we evaluated the genetic difference of 40 Streptococcus suis strains belonging to various sequence types by comparative genomic hybridization to identify genes associated with the variation in pathogenicity using NimbleGen’s tilling microarray platform.

Project description:Understanding the genetic basis of adaptation to novel environments remains one of the major challenges confronting evolutionary biologists. While newly developed genomic approaches hold considerable promise for addressing this overall question, the relevant tools have not often been available in the most ecologically interesting organisms. Our study organism, Drosophila mojavensis, is a cactophilic Sonoran Desert endemic utilizing four different cactus hosts across its geographic range. Its well-known ecology makes it an attractive system in which to study the evolution of gene expression during adaptation. As a cactophile, D. mojavensis oviposits in the necrotic tissues of cacti, therefore exposing larvae and even adults to the varied and toxic compounds of rotting cacti. We have developed a cDNA microarray of D. mojavensis to examine gene expression associated with cactus host use. Using a population from the Baja California population we examined gene expression differences of third instar larvae when reared in two chemically distinct cactus hosts, agria (Stenocereus gummosus, native host) vs. organpipe (S. thurberi, alternative host). We have observed differential gene expression associated with cactus host use in genes involved in metabolism and detoxification. Keywords: host adaptation, stress response, detoxification

Project description:Research on the effects of contaminants on fishes is often conducted on well-studied model test species, whose responses may be different than those of species of conservation concern. We used an oligonucleotide microarray to examine the effects of permethrin, a widely used pyrethroid pesticide, on a critically endangered fish species endemic to Northern California, the delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus). These results demonstrate the effects of a widely used pesticide on a sensitive fish species at concentrations below those that affect model test species.
