Firefly genomes illuminate parallel origins of bioluminescence in beetles

Project description:Fireflies and their fascinating luminous courtships have inspired centuries of scientific study. Today firefly luciferase is widely used in biotechnology, but the evolutionary origin of their bioluminescence remains unclear. To shed light on this long-standing question, we sequenced the genomes of two firefly species that diverged over 100 million-years-ago: the North American Photinus pyralis and Japanese Aquatica lateralis. To compare bioluminescent origins, we also sequenced the genome of a related click-beetle, the Caribbean Ignelater luminosus, with bioluminescent biochemistry near-identical to fireflies, but anatomically unique light organs, suggesting the intriguing but contentious hypothesis of parallel gains of bioluminescence. Our analyses support two independent gains of bioluminescence between fireflies and click-beetles, and provide new insights into the genes, chemical defenses, and symbionts that evolved alongside their luminous lifestyle.

Evolution of Replication Origins in Vertebrate Genomes: Rapid Turnover Despite Selective Constraints [SNS-seq]

Project description:Background: The replication program of vertebrate genomes is driven by the chromosomal distribution and timing of activation of ten of thousands replication origins. Genome-wide studies have shown the frequent association of origins with promoters and CpG islands, and their enrichment in G-quadruplexes sequence motifs (G4). However the genetic determinants driving their activity remain poorly understood. To gain insight on functional constraints operating on replication origins and on their spatial distribution, we conduct the first evolutionary comparison of genome-wide origins maps across vertebrates. Results: We generated a high resolution genome-wide map of chicken replication origins (the first of a bird genome), and performed an extensive comparison with human and mouse maps. The analysis of intra-species polymorphism revealed a strong depletion of genetic diversity on a ∼ 40bp region centered on the replication initiation loci. Surprisingly, this depletion in genetic diversity is not linked to the presence of G4 motifs, nor to the association with promoters or CpG islands. In contrast, we also show that origins have experienced a rapid turnover during vertebrates evolution, since pairwise comparisons of origin maps revealed that only 4 to 24% of them are conserved between any two species. Conclusions: This study unravels the existence of a novel genetic determinant of replication origins, whose precise functional role remains to be determined. Despite the importance of replication initiation activity for the fitness of organisms, the distribution of replication origins along vertebrate chromosomes is highly flexible.

Survey of methylomes of two beetles, Nicrophorus vespilloides and Tribolium castaneum

Project description:The presence of DNA methylation in beetles (Coleoptera) has only been investigated with bisulfite sequencing of Tribolium castaneum, which produced no evidence of DNA methylation. Here, we used whole genome bisulfite sequencing to assay if DNA methylation was present in another beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides. We used T. castaneum as a negative control.
