Project description:Cropping soils vary in extent of natural suppression of soil-borne plant diseases. However, it is unknown whether similar variation occurs across pastoral agricultural systems. We examined soil microbial community properties known to be associated with disease suppression across 50 pastoral fields varying in management intensity. The composition and abundance of the disease-suppressive community were assessed from both taxonomic and functional perspectives.

Genetic compensation rather than genetic assimilation drives the evolution of plasticity in response to mild warming across latitudes in a damselfly

Project description:Global warming is causing plastic and evolutionary changes in the phenotypes of ectotherms. Yet, we have limited knowledge on how the interplay between plasticity and evolution shapes thermal responses and underlying gene expression patterns. We assessed thermal reaction norm patterns across the transcriptome and identified associated molecular pathways in northern and southern populations of the damselfly Ischnura elegans. Larvae were reared in a common garden experiment at the mean summer water temperatures experienced at the northern (20 °C) and southern (24 °C) latitudes. This allowed a space-for-time substitution where the current gene expression levels at 24 °C in southern larvae are a proxy for the expected responses of northern larvae under gradual thermal evolution to the predicted 4 °C warming. Most differentially expressed genes showed fixed differences across temperatures between latitudes, suggesting that thermal genetic adaptation will mainly evolve through changes in constitutive gene expression. Northern populations also frequently showed plastic responses in gene expression to mild warming, while southern populations were much less responsive to temperature. Thermal responsive genes in northern populations showed to a large extent a pattern of genetic compensation, i.e. gene expression that was induced at 24 °C in northern populations remained at a lower constant level in southern populations, and were associated with metabolic and translation pathways. There was instead little evidence for genetic assimilation of an initial plastic response to mild warming. Our data therefore suggest that genetic compensation rather than genetic assimilation may drive the evolution of plasticity in response to mild warming in this damselfly species.

Genome wide transcriptional profiling of HIV positive and negative children with active tuberculosis, latent TB infection and other diseases from Kenya

Project description:The study aimed to define transcriptional signatures for detection of active TB (TB) compared to latent TB infection (LTBI) as well as to other diseases (OD) with similar clinical phenotypes in patients with and without HIV in a paediatric cohort from Kenya Transcriptional signatures were identified that distinguished active TB from LTBI, active TB from other diseases, and active TB from both LTBI and other diseases in HIV+/- patients. Children were recruited from 2 hospitals in Coast Province, Kenya (n=157) who were either HIV+ or HIV - with either active TB (culture confirmed), active TB (culture negative), LTBI or OD. Blood was collected into PAX gene tubes (PreAnalytiX). Total RNA integrity was assessed using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Palo Alto, CA). Labeled cRNA was hybridized to Illumina Human HT-12 Beadchips. Data were analysed in R.

The genetic basis of adaptation to climatic stress in Siberian indigenous populations

Project description:Affymetrix single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array data were used to study genes that underlie human adaptation to climatic stress, with a focus on genetic changes that lead to long-term cold tolerance. Siberia provides the best opportunity to investigate the genetic mechanisms of cold resistance because of the long-term ancestry of indigenous populations in some of the coldest climates on earth. While much of northern Europe was under ice throughout the last glacial period, Siberia remained relatively ice free, and archaeological evidence suggests that people inhabited this region for more than 40,000 years. We gathered SNP data from ~200 individuals from 15 indigenous Siberian populations that inhabit a range of arctic climates and compare their patterns of genetic variation with those from other world populations from warmer climates.Particular attention is paid to regions containing genes that have been previously implicated in cold adaptation or that function in known pathways connected to energy metabolism or cold adapted phenotypes (e.g., those involved in basal metabolic rate and brown adipose tissue function).
