Project description:In order to more accurately discover the cause of drug resistance in tumor treatment, and to provide a new basis for precise treatment.
Therefore, based on the umbrella theory of precision medicine, we carried out this single-center, prospective, and observational study to include patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer. By combining genome, transcriptome, and proteomic sequencing data, we established a basis for colorectal cancer liver Transfer the multi-omics data of the sample, describe the reason for the resistance of the first-line treatment, and search for new therapeutic targets.
Project description:Despite being essential for fertility, genome defence pathway genes often evolve rapidly. However, little is known about the molecular basis of this adaptation. Here, we characterize the evolution of a protein interaction network within the PIWI-interacting small RNA (piRNA) genome defence pathway in Drosophila at unprecedented scale and evolutionary resolution. We uncover pervasive rapid evolution of a protein interaction network anchored at the Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) paralog Rhino. Using complementary phylogenetic analysis, high-throughput yeast-two-hybrid matrix screening, and in vivo interaction analyses in cross-species transgenic flies, we characterized at least three distinct evolutionary protein interaction trajectories across ~40 million years of Drosophila evolution. The comprehensive cross-species interaction data set covering 11 piRNA pathway proteins of five Drosophila species revealed several protein interactions that are fully conserved, indicating functional conservation despite overall rapid amino acid sequence change. Other interactions are preserved through co-evolution and were detected only between proteins in closely related and within species. We also identified sets of species-restricted protein interactions which, through rewiring of a Rhino-anchored transcription factor network, may preserve critical roles in enabling and adapting piRNA production from heterochromatic loci. In sum, our analyses dissected principles of interaction evolution in an adaptively evolving protein-protein interaction network uncovering evolutionary and functional insight into germline piRNA production across Drosophila species. Our work provides key experimental evidence in support of a fundamental model proposing that intermolecular interaction innovation is a major molecular mechanism of evolutionary adaptation in protein-coding genes.
Project description:Species often produce sterile hybrids early in their evolutionary divergence, and some evidence suggests that hybrid sterility may be associated with deviations or disruptions in gene expression. In support of this idea, many studies have shown that a high proportion of male-biased genes are underexpressed compared to non-sex-biased genes in sterile F1 male hybrids of Drosophila species. In this study, we examined and compared patterns of misexpression in 4 day old sterile male F1 hybrids of Drosophila simulans and its sibling species, D. sechellia. We analyzed hybrids using genome-wide D. melanogaster arrays from the Drosophila Genome Resource Center (DGRC). The results from a custom array (GPL4022) for this species pair, from the custom array and the genome-wide array for the D. simulans-D. mauritiana species pair, and from the larvae of these two species pairs using the custom array, are presented separately.

Project description:The skin commensal yeast Malassezia is associated with several skin disorders. To establish a reference resource, we sought to determine the complete genome sequence of Malassezia sympodialis and identify its protein-coding genes. A novel genome annotation workflow combining RNA sequencing, proteomics, and manual curation was developed to determine gene structures with high accuracy.
Project description:We compared the genome-wide expression profiles of two yeast species (S. cerevisiae and S. paradoxus) using a two-species microarray that contain species-specific probes and can thus measure the expression levels of the two species simultaneosly. In Addition, we used the array to measure expression levels of the interspecific hybrid of these yeast species, while discriminating between the alleles that correspond to the two parental species. Comparison of the between-species differences and the within-hybrid allele differences allows us to separate cis from trans effects. Also, comparison of the overall expression in the hybrids (both alleles) with their parental species allows us to analyze hybrid over-expression and under-expression.
