Dynamic co-evolution of transposable elements and the piRNA pathway in East African cichlid fishes

Project description:East African cichlid fishes have radiated in an explosive fashion. The (epi)genetic basis for the abundant phenotypic diversity of these fishes remains largely unknown. As transposable elements (TEs) contribute extensively to genome evolution, we reasoned that TEs may have fuelled cichlid radiations. While TE-derived genetic and epigenetic variability has been associated with phenotypic traits, TE expression and epigenetic silencing remain unexplored in cichlids. Here, we profiled TE expression in African cichlids, and describe dynamic expression patterns during embryogenesis and according to sex. Most TE silencing factors are conserved and expressed in cichlids. We describe an expansion of two truncated Piwil1 genes in Lake Malawi/Nyasa cichlids, encoding a Piwi domain with catalytic potential. To further dissect epigenetic silencing of TEs, we focused on small RNA-driven epigenetic silencing. We detect a small RNA population in gonads consistent with an active Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway targeting TEs. We uncover fluid genomic origins of piRNAs in closely related cichlid species. This, along with signatures of positive selection in piRNA pathway factors, points towards fast co-evolution of TEs and the piRNA pathway. Our study is the first step to understand the contribution of ongoing TE-host arms races to the cichlid radiations in Africa.

Dynamic co-evolution of transposable elements and the piRNA pathway in East African cichlid fishes [smallRNA-seq]

Project description:East African cichlid fishes have diversified in an explosive fashion, but the (epi)genetic basis of the phenotypic diversity of these fishes remains largely unknown. Although transposable elements (TEs) have been associated with phenotypic variation in cichlids, little is known about their transcriptional activity and epigenetic silencing. Here, we describe dynamic patterns of TE expression in African cichlid gonads and during early development. Orthology inference revealed an expansion of piwil1 genes in Lake Malawi cichlids, likely driven by PiggyBac TEs. The expanded piwil1 copies have signatures of positive selection and retain amino acid residues essential for catalytic activity. Furthermore, the gonads of African cichlids express a Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway that target TEs. We define the genomic sites of piRNA production in African cichlids and find divergence in closely related species, in line with fast evolution of piRNA-producing loci. Our findings suggest dynamic co-evolution of TEs and host silencing pathways in the African cichlid radiations. We propose that this co-evolution has contributed to cichlid genomic diversity.

Single cell RNA sequencing reveals deep homology of dental cell types across vertebrates [TJ]

Project description:Here we use single nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) of replacement teeth and adjacent oral lamina in Lake Malawi cichlids, species with lifelong whole-tooth replacement, to make two main discoveries. First, despite hundreds of millions of years of evolution, we demonstrate conservation of cell type gene expression across vertebrate teeth (fish, mouse, human). Second, we used an approach that combines marker gene expression and developmental potential of dental cells to uncover the transcriptional signature of stem-like cells in regenerating teeth. Our work underscores the importance of a comparative framework in the study of vertebrate oral and regenerative biology.

Developmental plasticity of stem cells in tooth and taste bud renewal

Project description:We use the continuously replacing dentition of Lake Malawi cichlid fishes to understand de-novo tooth replacement in adult vertebrates. In this system, each tooth is replaced in a one-for-one fashion every ~50 days. Here, we explore the source of epithelial stem cells for tooth replacement.
