Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE10267: Variations in stress sensitivity and genomic expression in diverse S. cerevisiae strains (CGH) GSE10268: Variations in stress sensitivity and genomic expression in diverse S. cerevisiae strains (gene expression) Keywords: SuperSeries Refer to individual Series
Project description:We study the genetics, including microarray karyotyping using comparative genomic hybridization, to explore global changes in the genomic DNA of seven S. cerevisiae strains related to traditional fermentations of very different sources comparing to the sequenced S. cerevisiae laboratory strain (S288C). Our final goal is to determine the adaptive evolution of properties of biotechnological interest in Saccharomyces yeasts. Many copy number variations (CNVs) were observed, especially in genes associated to subtelomeric regions and transposon elements. Among the fermentation strains, differential CNV was observed in genes related to sugar transport and metabolism. An outstanding example of diverse CNV is the gen PUT1, involved in proline assimilation, which correlated with the adaptation of the strains to the presence of this nitrogen source in the media.
Project description:We developed an artificial genome evolution system, which we termed ‘TAQing’, by introducing multiple genomic DNA double-strand breaks using a heat-activatable endonuclease in mitotic yeast. The heat-activated endonuclease, TaqI, induced random DSBs, which resulted in diverse types of chromosomal rearrangements including translocations. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis was performed with cell-fused Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains induced genome evolution by TAQing system. Some of copy number variations (CNVs) induced by massive genome rearrangements were detected in the TAQed yeast strains.
Project description:We study the genetics, including microarray karyotyping using comparative genomic hybridization to explore global changes in the genomic DNA, of four S. bayanus var uvarum strains related to traditional fermentations of very different sources comparing to the sequenced S. cerevisiae laboratory strain (S288C). Our final goal is to determine the adaptive evolution of properties of biotechnological interest in Saccharomyces yeasts. Many copy number variations (CNV) were observed, especially in genes associated to subtelomeric regions and transposon elements. Among the fermentation strains, differential CNV was observed in genes related to sugar transport and metabolism. An outstanding example of diverse CNV is the gen PUT1, involved in proline assimilation, which correlated with the adaptation of the strains to the presence of this nitrogen source in the media.

Our final goal is to determine the adaptive evolution of properties of biotechnological interest in Saccharomyces yeasts.

An outstanding example of diverse CNV is the gen PUT1, involved in proline assimilation, which correlated with the adaptation of the strains to the presence of this nitrogen source in the media. Seven S. cerevisiae strains were obtained from natural environments and different fermentation processes. The S. cerevisiae strain S288C was used as a control for microarray hybridizations. All experiments were performed using duplicate arrays, and Cy5-dCTP and Cy3-dCTP dye-swap assays were performed to reduce dye-specific bias.
