Project description:One hundred ninety wildtype male C57BL/6J mice age 7-10 weeks were purchased from Jackson Laboratory and entrained to a 12:12 light:dark cycle for 2 weeks. Mice were placed in light-tight boxes on a 12:12 LD cycle for 4 weeks, then released into constant darkness. Starting 30 hours after entry into DD (CT18), tissues from 5 (skeletal muscle) or 10 (liver or SCN) wildtype mice were collected every 4 hours for 48 hours, for a total of 12 timepoints. At timepoints 34 through 58 hours in DD, tissues from age-matched male C57BL/6J Clock/Clock homozygous mutant mice that had been treated with the same light entrainment protocol as the wildtype were collected. Tissues were collected from 5 Clock/Clock mutants at each timepoint except for 34 and 46 hours after the onset of DD, when tissues from 10 Clock/Clock mice were collected and run as independent replicates. Mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation, and the optic nerves were severed in complete darkness; brain dissection was performed using illumination from an infrared viewer (FJW Industries, Palatine, IL). SCNs were dissected out, pooled at a density of 5 per tube in 100 ul RNAlater (Ambion, Austin, TX), frozen on dry ice, and stored at â80 degrees C until use.

Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.
