Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.

Project description:The piRNA pathway is studied in great detail in Drosophila female germline. In this study we show that unlike the female germline where all Piwi proteins are expressed throughout oogenesis, Ago3 - a Piwi family protein shows a spatial expression male germline. To understand dynamics of piRNA pathway during spermatogonia and primary spermatocyte stages of male germline development, we used arrest mutants. The bag of marbles (bam) and benign gonial cell neoplasm (bgcn) mutants have only early mitotic dividing germline cells in the testes due to failure to progress to primary spermatocyte stage, the cannonball (can) and spermatocyte arrest (sa) mutant germline cells cannot progress beyond primary spermatocyte stage. To investigate the dynamics of the piRNA pathway during spermatogenesis in spermatogonia and primary spermatocyte stages, we used testicular tissues from these stage-specific arrested mutants. While we used entire bam and bgcn mutant testes for spermatogonia purification, we while we manually removed the apical regions of can and sa mutant testes to exclude mitotically dividing undifferentiated germline cells for primary spermatocytes purification. Our results show that piRNAs mapping to transposons are more abundant in spermatogonia, whereas those mapping to Suppressor of Stellate [Su(Ste)] and AT-chX are mostly expressed in primary spermatocytes. Furthermore we observed that transposon-mapping piRNAs with ping-pong signature are more abundant in spermatogonia albeit still detectable in primary spermatocytes where Ago3 is not expressed. These results suggest that robust piRNA production via ping-pong cycle takes place in spermatogonia, and to a lesser extent in primary spermatocytes even in the absence of Ago3. Consistently, piRNAs from ago3 mutant testes also exhibit the ping-pong signature, confirming that a non-canonical ping-pong cycle is acting during spermatogenesis. Our study provides a developmental dimension to the piRNA pathway and uncovers a new mechanism used in the male germline to silence transposons. The difference in piRNA from spermatogonia and primary spermatocyte stages was studied by comparing small RNAs from bam and bgcn mutant testis, which represent spermatogonia stages with the small RNAs from apex removed can and sa testis, representing primary spermatocyte stages. In the study we also studied effect of loss of Piwi family proteins Aub and Ago3, which have different spatial expression during male germline development.

Project description:A transcriptome study in mouse hematopoietic stem cells was performed using a sensitive SAGE method, in an attempt to detect medium and low abundant transcripts expressed in these cells. Among a total of 31,380 unique transcript, 17,326 (55%) known genes were detected, 14,054 (45%) low-copy transcripts that have no matches to currently known genes. 3,899 (23%) were alternatively spliced transcripts of the known genes and 3,754 (22%) represent anti-sense transcripts from known genes.

Project description:Translational research is commonly performed in the C57B6/J mouse strain, chosen for its genetic homogeneity and phenotypic uniformity. Here, we evaluate the suitability of the white-footed deer mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) as a model organism for aging research, offering a comparative analysis against C57B6/J and diversity outbred (DO) Mus musculus strains. Our study includes comparisons of body composition, skeletal muscle function, and cardiovascular parameters, shedding light on potential applications and limitations of P. leucopus in aging studies. Notably, P. leucopus exhibits distinct body composition characteristics, emphasizing reduced muscle force exertion and a unique metabolism, particularly in fat mass. Cardiovascular assessments showed changes in arterial stiffness, challenging conventional assumptions and highlighting the need for a nuanced interpretation of aging-related phenotypes. Our study also highlights inherent challenges associated with maintaining and phenotyping P. leucopus cohorts. Behavioral considerations, including anxiety-induced responses during handling and phenotyping assessment, pose obstacles in acquiring meaningful data. Moreover, the unique anatomy of P. leucopus necessitates careful adaptation of protocols designed for Mus musculus. While showcasing potential benefits, further extensive analyses across broader age ranges and larger cohorts are necessary to establish the reliability of P. leucopus as a robust and translatable model for aging studies.

Project description:BackgroundCopy number variation is an important dimension of genetic diversity and has implications in development and disease. As an important model organism, the mouse is a prime candidate for copy number variant (CNV) characterization, but this has yet to be completed for a large sample size. Here we report CNV analysis of publicly available, high-density microarray data files for 351 mouse tail samples, including 290 mice that had not been characterized for CNVs previously.ResultsWe found 9634 putative autosomal CNVs across the samples affecting 6.87% of the mouse reference genome. We find significant differences in the degree of CNV uniqueness (single sample occurrence) and the nature of CNV-gene overlap between wild-caught mice and classical laboratory strains. CNV-gene overlap was associated with lipid metabolism, pheromone response and olfaction compared to immunity, carbohydrate metabolism and amino-acid metabolism for wild-caught mice and classical laboratory strains, respectively. Using two subspecies of wild-caught Mus musculus, we identified putative CNVs unique to those subspecies and show this diversity is better captured by wild-derived laboratory strains than by the classical laboratory strains. A total of 9 genic copy number variable regions (CNVRs) were selected for experimental confirmation by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR).ConclusionThe analysis we present is a comprehensive, genome-wide analysis of CNVs in Mus musculus, which increases the number of known variants in the species and will accelerate the identification of novel variants in future studies.
