Project description:The molecular basis of evolutionary change is assumed to be genetic variation. However, growing evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, may also be involved in evolutionary change. An important first step in evaluating this hypothesis is to test for the presence of epigenetic variation between natural populations living under different environmental conditions. In the current study we explored variation between populations of Darwin’s finches living in adjacent “urban” and “rural” environments on Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos. We tested for morphological, genetic, and epigenetic differences between the urban and rural populations of each of two species of ground finches, Geospiza fortis and G. fuliginosa. Using data collected from more than 1000 birds, we found significant morphological differences between populations of G. fortis, but not G. fuliginosa. We did not find genetic differences between populations of either species, based on comparisons of copy number variation (CNV). In contrast, we did find epigenetic differences between the urban and rural populations of both species, based on DNA methylation analysis. We explored genomic features and gene associations of the differentially methylated regions (DMR), as well as their possible functional significance. In summary, our study documents local population epigenetic variation within species of Darwin’s finches.

Project description:Epigenetic variation has the potential to control environmentally dependent development and contribute to phenotypic responses to local environments. Environmental epigenetic studies of sexual organisms confirm the responsiveness of epigenetic variation, which should be even more important when genetic variation is lacking. A previous study of an asexual snail, Potamopyrgus antipodarum, demonstrated that different populations derived from a single clonal lineage differed in both shell phenotype and methylation signature when comparing lake versus river populations. Here, we examine methylation variation among lakes that differ in environmental disturbance and pollution histories. The differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs) identified among the different lake comparisons suggested a higher number of DMRs and variation between rural Lake 1 and one urban Lake 2 and between the two urban Lakes 2 and 3, but limited variation between the rural Lake 1 and urban Lake 3. DMR genomic characteristics and gene associations were investigated. Observations suggest there is no effect of geographic distance or any consistent pattern of DMRs between urban and rural lakes. Environmental factors may influence epigenetic response.

Project description:Acanthoscurria juruenicola is an Amazonian tarantula spider described for the first time a century ago. Specimens of both genders are similar in size and in most morphological aspects, but ecological behavior and their venom composition remained unknown to date. Here we present the peptidomics characterization of the spider venom by a combination of mass spectrometric analysis of both native and digested peptides, venom gland transcriptomics and bioinformatics. A total of 367 native features were observed in the venom peptidome. Seventeen cysteine-rich peptides were simultaneously observed in the transcriptome and in the mass spectrometric experiments, from which fourteen were completely sequenced in the mature forms. The mature peptides have 3-5 disulfide bonds and cover the 3.7-8.6 kDa mass range. Moreover, in vivo paralytic activities of the whole venom were observed in crickets. In silico analysis indicated that all mature peptides are potentially antimicrobial and two may be potential anticancer agents. The antimicrobial activity was experimentally confirmed for the peptide Ap1a against Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans.

Project description:Due to their continuing geographic isolation, the Amerindian populations of the Brazilian Amazon present a different genetic profile when compared to other continental populations. Few studies have investigated genetic variants present in these populations, especially in the context of next-generation sequencing. Knowledge of the molecular profile of a population is one of the bases for inferences about human evolutionary history, in addition, it has the ability to assist in the validation of molecular biomarkers of susceptibility to complex and rare diseases, and in the improvement of specific precision medicine protocols applied to these populations and to populations with high Amerindian ancestry, such as Brazilians. DNA polymerases play essential roles in DNA replication, repair, recombination, or damage repair, and their influence on various clinical phenotypes has been demonstrated in the specialized literature. Thus, the aim of this study is to characterize the molecular profile of POLA1, POLE, POLG, POLQ, and REV3L genes in Amerindian populations from the Brazilian Amazon, comparing these findings with genomic data from five continental populations described in the gnomAD database, and with data from the Brazilian population described in ABraOM. We performed the whole exome sequencing (WES) of 63 Indigenous individuals. Our study described for the first time the allele frequency of 45 variants already described in the other continental populations, but never before described in the investigated Amerindian populations. Our results also describe eight unique variants of the investigated Amerindians populations, with predictions of moderate, modifier and high clinical impact. Our findings demonstrate the unique genetic profile of the Indigenous population of the Brazilian Amazon, reinforcing the need for further studies on these populations, and may contribute to the creation of public policies that optimize not only the quality of life of this population, but also of the Brazilian population.

Project description:Small RNAs (~20 to 24 nucleotides) function as naturally occurring molecules critical in developmental pathways in plants and animals. Here we analyze small RNA populations from mature rice grain and seedlings by pyrosequencing. Using a clustering algorithm to locate regions producing small RNAs, we classified hotspots of small RNA generation within the genome. Hotspots here are defined as 1 kb regions within which small RNAs are significantly overproduced relative to the rest of the genome. Hotspots were identified to facilitate characterization of different categories of small RNA regulatory elements. Included in the hotspots, we found known members of 23 miRNA families representing 92 genes, one trans acting siRNA (ta-siRNA) gene, novel siRNA-generating coding genes and phased siRNA generating genes. Interestingly, over 20% of the small RNA population in grain came from a single foldback structure, which generated eight phased 21-nt siRNAs. This is reminiscent of a newly arising miRNA derived from duplication of progenitor genes. Our results provide data identifying distinct populations of small RNAs, including phased small RNAs, in mature grain to facilitate characterization of small regulatory RNA expression in monocot species. In an attempt to gain a broader understanding of gene expression in rice grain, we characterized small RNA populations from Oryza sativa spp. japonica cv. Nipponbare utilizing a deep sequencing approach. Small RNA libraries were constructed from three pools of mature, dormant rice grain and three-week post germination seedlings utilizing RNA-adapter mediated ligation. Each of the four libraries were independently sequenced using high-throughput pyrosequencing. We obtained a total of 679,146 sequences from the three rice grain libraries and 257,394 from one rice seedling library.
