Project description:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a prominent role in signal transduction and cellular homeostasis in plants. However, imbalances between generation and elimination of ROS can give rise to oxidative stress in growing cells. Because ROS are important to cell growth, ROS modulation could be responsive to natural or human-mediated selection pressure in plants. To study the evolution of oxidative stress related genes in a single plant cell, we conducted comparative expression profiling analyses of the elongated seed trichomes (‘‘fibers’’) of cotton (Gossypium), using a phylogenetic approach. We measured expression changes during diploid progenitor species divergence, allopolyploid formation and parallel domestication of diploid and allopolyploid species, using a microarray platform that interrogates 42,429 unigenes. The distribution of differentially expressed genes in progenitor diploid species revealed significant up-regulation of ROS scavenging and potential signaling processes in domesticated G. arboreum. Similarly, in two independently domesticated allopolyploid species (G. barbadense and G. hirsutum) antioxidant genes were substantially up-regulated in comparison to antecedent wild forms. In contrast, analyses of three wild allopolyploid species indicate that genomic merger and ancient allopolyploid formation had no significant influences on regulation of ROS related genes. Remarkably, many of the ROS-related processes diagnosed as possible targets of selection were shared among diploid and allopolyploid cultigens, but involved different sets of antioxidant genes. Our data suggests that parallel human selection for enhanced fiber growth in several geographically widely dispersed species of domesticated cotton resulted in similar and overlapping metabolic transformations of the manner in which cellular redox levels have become modulated. We measured expression changes during diploid progenitor species divergence, allopolyploid formation and parallel domestication of diploid and allopolyploid species, using a microarray platform that interrogates 42,429 unigenes. The distribution of differentially expressed genes was studied for domesticated G. arboreum and two independently domesticated allopolyploid species (G. barbadense and G. hirsutum). These were compared to three wild allopolyploid species. Three biological replicates were performed.

Project description:Differential nuclease sensitivity profiling of chromatin in diploid and allopolyploid cotton
Project description:Diploid and haploid strains often exhibit different tolerance to variety of stresses. Transcriptome of acclimation to ethanol stress in diploid and haploid strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was analyzed. We analyzed transcriptome profiles of diploid and haploid strains in the presence of ethanol.
Project description:Sequencing of mononucleosomal DNA during asynchronous mitosis and 0, 3 and 5 hours into meiosis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Two samples from mononucleosomal DNA from asynchronous mitosis (haploid 972 h- and diploid pat1.114) and three samples from 0, 3 and 5 hours into meiosis (from diploid pat1.114) were sequenced (Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx) using the single-end read protocol.
Project description:We reported a kind of new haploid embryonic stem cell, human haploid androgenetic embryonic stem cell, which kept the sperm characteristic epigenetic modification patterns for imprinting genes. In this study, two human haploid androgenetic embryonic stem cell lines (ha-AGHESC) and two human haploid parthenogenetic embryonic stem cell lines (ha-PGHESC) with somatic control and diploid HESC control, were processed with RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS). We showed that the reconstructed semi-clone HESCs were similar to the diploid HESC in transcriptome and the methylome especially related to the known human imprinting genes. The raw data of WGBS and bulk RNA-seq are deposited at Genome Sequence Archive (GSA) of Human with accession number HRA004100.
Project description:Diploid and haploid strains often exhibit different tolerance to variety of stresses. Transcriptome of acclimation to ethanol stress in diploid and haploid strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was analyzed. We analyzed transcriptome profiles of diploid and haploid strains in the presence of ethanol. Haploid and diploid strains were cultured in YEPD media with 0%, 3% and 7% ethanol(v/v) in fermentors. The samples were collected at the growth stage for each strain under different conditions.
Project description:Evolution and adaptation of living organisms are results of permanent fights against diverse threats, which imply specific responses from the genome itself. Allopolyploidy, combining interspecific hybridization with whole genome duplication, is recognised as an important evolutionary force in plants. Its evolutionary success can be related to the rapid and profound genome reorganizations generated in response to the “Genome Shock” that allow the neo-allopolyploid to adapt efficiently to new environments. While work has focused on the structural and functional consequences of allopolyploidy, studies dedicated to the response of the neo-allopolyploid genome at the level of the functional regulation of genome expression have been rarely conducted. Recently, the hypothesis of a major role for small non coding RNAs (sRNAs) in mediating the immediate functional response of neo-allopolyploid genomes has progressively emerged. Here, we characterize the global response of sRNAs to allopolyploidy in Brassica, using three independent resynthesized B. napus allotetraploids surveyed at two different generations in comparison with their diploid progenitors, by high-throughput sequencing of sRNAs. Our evidence suggests an immediate but transient response of specific sRNA populations, targeting non-coding components of the genome. We identify the early accumulation of both 21- and 24-nt sRNAs involved in the regulation of the same targets, supporting a PTGS-to-TGS shift at the first stages of the neo-allopolyploid formation. We propose that sRNAs are early mobilized in response to allopolyploidy to control the unexpected transcriptional reactivation of various non-coding elements thus, playing the role of guardians of genome integrity during the first steps of neo-allopolyploid formation.
