Project description:Morphological identification of ancient bone is often problematic due to heavy fragmentation that generally influences zooarchaeological assemblages. Fish bones are more taphonomically sensitive than those of other vertebrates as they are typically smaller and less biomineralised. Thus, taxonomic identification based on the preservation of morphological features is often extremely limited and can reduce or eliminate the usefulness of an assemblage for inferring taxon information. Currently, one of the most time- and cost-efficient methods of achieving faunal identity from ancient bone is by the collagen fingerprinting technique known as ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry). ZooMS harnesses the potential of preserved collagen, which is the most dominant and time-stable protein in bone. In this research, ZooMS is applied to ancient Baltic region fish assemblages that are between 500 and 6000 years old in order to define species identity and construct assemblage compositions. Alongside inferences into environmental and biological shifts from the Neolithic era to present day in the Baltic region, we demonstrate for the first time the ability to distinguish between recently diverged members of the Salmo (salmon) and Scophthalmus (turbot) genera. ZooMS analysis highlights 7% of the collagen-containing assemblage as having been morphologically identified incorrectly and has facilitated taxonomic refinement of a further 28% of samples, including some of the morphologically indeterminate bone fragments. This research emphasises the great potential of ZooMS in identifying ichthyoarchaeological bone remains to species-level, and provides a case for the use of collagen fingerprinting in contributing to baseline fisheries and ecological data, to inform modern management.

Project description:Studies of ancient DNA have revolutionized our understanding of extinct organisms, but thus far the maximum estimated age of sequenced DNA is two million years. However, evidence for endogenous biomolecules, including proteins, lipids, and pigments have been found in much older fossils, dating to up to 195 million years. Amino acid sequence data consistent with ancient, endogenous biomolecules have been derived from specimens of the theropod Tyrannosaurus rex (MOR 1125) and the hadrosaur Brachylophosaurus canadensis (MOR 2598). Histochemical and immunological studies also identified a molecule consistent with DNA in these two ancient specimens, localized to a single point within preserved osteocytes. Here we report the sequencing and analysis of DNA extracted from osteocytes and blood vessels of T. rex and B. canadensis, liberated after demineralization of dense cortical bone. Usable sequence reads were obtained at a low recovery rate. After the removal of high-quality reads that mapped to the human genome, the remaining reads were highly fragmented, with similarities to multiple animal species including reptilian and avian genomes. Our findings support the hypothesis that DNA and histone signal from imaging, mass spectrometry, and DNA sequencing of dinosaur osteocytes are endogenously preserved biomolecules.

Project description:The diverse mixture of contaminants frequently present in estuarine wetlands complicates their assessment by routine chemical or biological analyses. We investigated the use of gene expression to assess contaminant exposure and the condition of southern California (USA) estuarine fish. Liver gene expression, plasma estradiol concentrations and gonad histopathology were used to investigate the biological condition of longjaw mudsuckers (Gillichthys mirabilis). A wide array of metals, legacy organochlorine pesticides, PCBs and contaminants of emerging concern were detected in sediments and whole fish. Overall gene expression patterns were characteristic to each of four sites investigated in this study. Differentially expressed genes belonged to several functional categories including xenobiotic metabolism, detoxification, disease and stress responses. In general, plasma estradiol concentrations were similar among fish from all areas. Some fish gonads had pathologic changes (e.g. infection, inflammation) that could indicate weakened immune systems and chronic stress. The differential expression of some genes involved in stress responses correlated with the prevalence of histologic gonad lesions. This study indicates that sentinel fish gene expression data is a promising tool for assessing the biological condition of fish exposed to environmental contaminants. Key Words: Gene expression, fish, contaminants, estuaries. This abstract belongs to a manuscript that has been submitted to Environmental Science and Technology. The manuscript has been invited as part of an especial Omics Issue which is expected to be published in 2012.

Project description:We have pairs of fish and their tapeworms, from Merril (MER), Vernon (VER), Nimpkish (NIM), and Woss (WOS) Lakes on Vancouver Island. The fish samples are livers, preserved in ethanol. The parasite samples are a third of each individual tapeworm. Untargeted LC-MS/MS acquisition was performed on a Vanquish Flex UHPLC system coupled to an Orbitrap Exploris 240 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany). Chromatographic separation was performed on a Kinetex 2.6 um 100 A pore size Polar C18 reversed phase UHPLC column 100 x 2.1 mm (Phenomenex, Torrance, CA).

Project description:This study aimed to use pan-viral detection microarrays to identify viruses in serum from cases of acute pediatric febrile illness in a tropical setting. Patient clinical data and serum samples were collected between 2005 and 2009 as part of an ongoing pediatric dengue virus study at the Hospital Infantil Manuel de Jesús Rivera in Managua, Nicaragua. This study focused on patients who presented with dengue-like illness but who tested negative for dengue-virus infection. We hypothesized that non-dengue viruses or previously uncharacterized viruses might be causing these illnesses. The Virochip microarray is capable of detecting known viruses and discovering novel viruses. This series includes 153 arrays corresponding to 148 cases and 5 HeLa controls.

Project description:Different populations of the same species survive different environments through local adaptation. Temperature is one of the most important driving forces that could result in local adaptation. Here, we studied the influence of extreme low temperature on the survival of two genetically and geographically distinct populations of the free-living Caenorhabditis briggsae. We found that Caenorhabditis briggsae strains of temperate origin had a cold resistant phenotype, while those originating from a tropical climate had reduced survival after cold treatment. Using this phenotypic difference between geographically diverse populations as a model for how species adapt to their local environment, we then analyzed the transcriptional profiles of two Caenorhabditis briggsae strains of tropical and temperate origin to find genes that are involved in survival after extreme cold. In summary, the response to the extreme low temperature that clearly distinguishes the temperate and tropical Caenorhabditis briggsae strains could serve as an excellent example for studying local adaption of species that show genetic separation associated with their geographical distribution.
