Project description:The molecular basis of evolutionary change is assumed to be genetic variation. However, growing evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, may also be involved in evolutionary change. An important first step in evaluating this hypothesis is to test for the presence of epigenetic variation between natural populations living under different environmental conditions. In the current study we explored variation between populations of Darwin’s finches living in adjacent “urban” and “rural” environments on Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos. We tested for morphological, genetic, and epigenetic differences between the urban and rural populations of each of two species of ground finches, Geospiza fortis and G. fuliginosa. Using data collected from more than 1000 birds, we found significant morphological differences between populations of G. fortis, but not G. fuliginosa. We did not find genetic differences between populations of either species, based on comparisons of copy number variation (CNV). In contrast, we did find epigenetic differences between the urban and rural populations of both species, based on DNA methylation analysis. We explored genomic features and gene associations of the differentially methylated regions (DMR), as well as their possible functional significance. In summary, our study documents local population epigenetic variation within species of Darwin’s finches.

Project description:Beak deformities (BD) of different forms have been documented in many wild birds. The phenomenon is termed as “the largest epizootic of gross abnormalities ever recorded among wild bird populations.” Frequencies of 1% to 3% of BD (crossed beaks) were found in several indigenous chickens including Silkies, Qingyuan Partridge, Huxu, and the Beijing-You (BJY) chickens (studied here). Birds with deformed beaks have poor production performance and induce higher mortality. Therefore, BD represents an economic as well as a welfare problem. Our lab have focused and performed studies on this complex trait/disease for 7 years. Therefore, we performed a single SNP, a pathways-based genome-wide association study (GWAS), and a genome-wide CNV detection with the genotype data of 48 BD (case) and 48 normal (control) birds from Affymetrix 600K HD genotyping arrays, using ROADTRIPS, SNP ratio test (SRT) and PennCNV, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first GWAS and CNV study to investigate the mutations and genomic structural variations in the deformed and normal beaks of chickens. The findings herein are worth of further functional characterization for better understanding the genetic mechanisms of BD in chickens and wild birds as well.

Project description:Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder for which a definitive cure is still missing. This is characterized by an overwhelming inflammatory milieu in the colonic tract where a composite set of immune and non-immune cells orchestrate its pathogenesis. Over the last years, a growing body of evidence has been pinpointing gut virome dysbiosis as underlying its progression. Nonetheless, its role during the early phases of chronic inflammation is far from being fully defined. Here we show the gut virome-associated Hepatitis B virus protein X, most likely acquired after an event of zoonotic spillover, to be associated with the early stages of ulcerative colitis and to induce colonic inflammation in mice. It acts as a transcriptional regulator in epithelial cells, provoking barrier leakage and altering mucosal immunity at the level of both innate and adaptive immunity. This study paves the way to the comprehension of the aetiopathogenesis of intestinal inflammation and encourages further investigations of the virome as a trigger also in other scenarios. Moreover, it provides a brand-new standpoint that looks at the virome as a target for tailored treatments, blocking the early phases of chronic inflammation and possibly leading to better disease management.
