Project description:We report on a genome-wide scan for introgression in the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus) involving the Algerian mouse (Mus spretus), using 20 samples from the ranges of sympatry and allopatry. Our analysis reveals significant variability in introgression signatures along the genomes, as well as across the samples. We find that fewer than half of the chromosomes in each genome harbor all detectable introgression. Further, a surprising result is that European mice carry more M. spretus alleles than the sympatric African ones. Using the length distribution and sharing patterns of introgressed genomic tracts across the samples, we propose three hypotheses. First, at least three distinct hybridization events involving M. spretus have occurred, one of which is ancient, and the other two are recent. Second, several of the inferred introgressed tracts contain genes that are likely to confer adaptive advantage. Third, introgressed tracts might contain driver genes that determine the evolutionary fate of those tracts. Further, our analysis revealed introgressed genes of functional importance, including the Vkorc1 gene, which is implicated in rodenticide resistance, and olfactory receptor genes. Our findings highlight the extent and role of introgression in nature, and call for careful analysis and interpretation of house mouse data in evolutionary and genetic studies.

Project description:Humans co-existed and interbred with other hominins which later became extinct. These archaic hominins are known to us only through fossil records and for two cases, genome sequences. Here we engineer Neanderthal and Denisovan sequences into thousands of artificial genes to reconstruct the pre-mRNA processing patterns of these extinct populations. Of the 5,224 alleles tested in this massively parallel splicing reporter assay (MaPSy), we report 969 exonic splicing mutations (ESMs) that correspond to differences in exon recognition between extant and extinct hominins. Using MaPSy splicing variants, predicted splicing variants, and splicing quantitative trait loci, we show that splice-disrupting variants experienced greater purifying selection in anatomically modern humans than in Neanderthals. Adaptively introgressed variants were enriched for moderate effect splicing variants, consistent with positive selection for alternative spliced alleles following introgression. As particularly compelling examples, we characterized a novel tissue-specific alternative splicing variant at the adaptively introgressed innate immunity gene TLR1, as well as a novel Neanderthal introgressed alternative splicing variant in the gene HSPG2 that encodes perlecan. We further identified potentially pathogenic splicing variants found only in Neanderthals and Denisovans in genes related to sperm maturation and immunity. Finally, we found splicing variants that may contribute to variation among modern humans in total bilirubin, balding, hemoglobin levels, and lung capacity. Our findings provide novel insights into natural selection acting on splicing in human evolution and demonstrate how functional assays can be used to identify candidate causal variants underlying differences in gene regulation and phenotype.

Project description:Expression analysis was carried out in Goto-Kakizaki (GK), Brown Norway (BN) and 24 derived congenic strains using the Illumina RatRef-12 microarray. Each congenic line contains an introgression of a single fragment of the GK strain in the background of the BN recipient strain or vice versa. The resulting lines were fixed by imbreeding. The sizes of the introgressed fragments vary from almost a complete chromosome (consomic) to smaller fragments and some of the fragments overlap. To investigate genetic control of gene expression by the introgressed fragments, we performed transcriptional profiling of liver, soleus muscle and white adipose tissue in 6 months old rats.

Project description:Individuals infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus present with a wide variety of phenotypes ranging from asymptomatic to severe and even lethal outcomes. Past research has revealed a genetic haplotype on chromosome 3 that entered the human population via introgression from Neanderthals as the strongest genetic risk factor for the severe COVID-19 phenotype. However, the specific variants along this introgressed haplotype that contribute to this risk and the biological mechanisms that are involved remain unclear. Here, we assess the variants present on the risk haplotype for their likelihood of driving the severe COVID-19 phenotype. We do this by first exploring their impact on the regulation of genes involved in COVID-19 infection using a variety of population genetics and functional genomics tools. We then perform an locus-specific massively parallel reporter assay to individually assess the regulatory potential of each allele on the haplotype in a multipotent immune-related cell line. We ultimately reduce the set of over 600 linked genetic variants to identify 4 introgressed alleles that are strong functional candidates for driving the association between this locus and the severe COVID-19. These variants likely drive the locus’ impact on severity by putatively modulating the regulation of two critical chemokine receptor genes: CCR1 and CCR5. These alleles are ideal targets for future functional investigations into the interaction between host genomics and COVID-19 outcomes.

Project description:Genetically engineered mice (GEM) are essential tools for understanding gene function and disease modeling. Due to historical reasons, gene targeting was at first done in embryonic stem cells (ESC) derived from the 129 family of inbred strains, leading to mixed background or congenic mice when crossed with C57BL/6 mice. Depending on the number of backcrosses and breeding strategies genomic segments from 129-derived ESC can be introgressed into the C57BL/6 genome at different levels, establishing a unique genetic makeup that needs characterization in order to obtain valid conclusions of experiments using GEM models. We sequenced wild-type (WT), heterozygous (Het) and knockout (KO) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from a knockout model of Sall2 (Sato A. et al, Zinc finger protein sall2 is not essential for embryonic and kidney development. Mol Cell Biol 2003, 23:62-69) maintained in a mixed background between C57BL/6J and 129P2OlaHsd mice. We also treated these cells with doxorubicin, as a global perturbation of the gene expression. With this schema, we aimed to detect genetic introgression of 129 mice onto C57BL/6J, KO-ligated variants (the so-called congenic footprint) and potential modifier genes.
