Project description:In plants, multiple lineages have evolved sex chromosomes independently, providing a powerful comparative framework, but few specific determinants controlling the expression of a specific sex have been identified. We investigated sex-determinants in Caucasian persimmon, Diospyros lotus, a dioecious plant with heterogametic males (XY). Male-specific short nucleotide sequences were used to define a male determining region. A combination of transcriptomics and evolutionary approaches detected a Y-specific sex-determinant candidate, OGI, that displays male-specific conservation among Diospyros species. OGI encodes a small RNA targeting the autosomal MeGI gene, a homeodomain transcription factor regulating anther fertility in dosage-dependent fashion. This identification of a feminizing gene suppressed by a Y-chromosome-encoded small RNA contributes to our understanding of the evolution of sex chromosome systems in higher plants.

For expression analyses, mixed buds were sampled on June 17, and July 4, 2013, corresponding to the early differentiation stages of male/female primordia, respectively.

Project description:Sex chromosomes evolved many times independently in many different organisms. According to the currently accepted model, X- and Y-chromosomes evolve from a pair of autosomes via a series of inversions leading to step-wise expansion of a non-recombining region on the Y chromosome (NRY) and the consequential degeneration of genes trapped in the NRY. Our results suggest that plants represent an exception to this rule due to their unique life-cycle that includes alteration of diploid and haploid generations and widespread haploid expression of genes in plant gametophytes. Using a new high-throughput approach we identified over 400 new genes expressed from X- and Y- chromosomes in Silene latifolia, a plant that evolved sex chromosomes about 10 million years ago. Y-linked genes show faster accumulation of amino-acid replacements and loss of expression, compared to X-linked genes. These degenerative processes are significantly less pronounced in more constrained genes and genes that are likely exposed to haploid-phase selection. This may explain why plants retain hundreds of expressed Y-linked genes despite millions of years of Y-chromosome degeneration, while animal Y-chromosomes are almost completely degenerate.

Project description:Differences in the selective pressures experienced by males and females are believed to be ubiquitous in dioecious organisms and are expected to result in the evolution of sexually antagonistic alleles, thereby driving the evolution of sexual dimorphism. Negative genetic correlation for fitness between the sexes has been documented, however, the identity, number and location of loci causing this relationship are unknown. Here we show that a large proportion of Drosophila melanogaster transcripts are associated with the interaction between genomic haplotype and gender and that at least 8% of loci in the fly genome are currently evolving under sexually antagonistic selection.

Project description:Diploidy is a fundamental genetic feature in mammals, in which haploid cells normally arise only as post-meiotic germ cells that serve to insure a diploid genome upon fertilization. Gamete manipulation has yielded haploid embryonic stem (ES) cells from several mammalian species, but as of yet not from humans. Here we analyzed a large collection of human parthenogenetic ES cell lines originating from haploid oocytes, leading to the successful isolation and maintenance of human ES cell lines with a normal haploid karyotype. Haploid human ES cells exhibited typical pluripotent stem cell characteristics such as self-renewal capacity and a pluripotency-specific molecular signature. Although haploid human ES cells resembled their diploid counterparts, they also displayed distinct properties including differential regulation of X chromosome inactivation and genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, alongside reduction in absolute gene expression levels and cell size. Intriguingly, we found that a haploid genome is compatible not only with the undifferentiated pluripotent state, but also with differentiated somatic fates representing all three embryonic germ layers, despite a persistent dosage imbalance between the autosomes and X chromosome. We expect that haploid human ES cells will provide novel means for studying human functional genomics, development and evolution.

We used a combination of Illumina sequencing of cDNA (RNAseq) and segregation analysis of SNPs identified from RNAseq to identify sex-linked genes in plant Silene latifolia. The experiment involved RNAseq from male and female parents and F1 progeny for two genetic crosses. We submit raw data in fastq format for 11 samples. Four of these samples are single end Solexa reads (a single file per sample) and seven samples were sequenced with paired end Solexa sequencing (two fastq files per sample) - 18 files in total.
