Whole brain gene expression in Lake Malawi cichlid F1 hybrids

Project description:Most behaviors are associated with heritable genetic variation. Genetic mapping has revealed genomic regions or, in a few cases, specific genes explaining part of this variation. However, understanding how genetic divergence shapes behavioral evolution remains unclear. Here we analyze the evolution of an innate extended phenotype: bower building among male cichlid fish of Lake Malawi, which build bowers of two types, pits and castles. F1 hybrids of pit-digging and castle-building species perform sequential construction of first pit and then castle bowers. Analysis of brain gene expression in these hybrids showed that genes near behavior-associated variants display behavior-dependent allele-specific expression with preferential expression of the pit-species allele during pit digging, and of the castle-species allele during castle building. These genes are highly enriched for functions and pathways involved in neurodevelopment and neural plasticity. Our results suggest that natural behaviors can be associated with complex genetic architectures that alter behavior via cis-regulatory differences whose effects on gene expression are specific to the behavior itself.

Developmental plasticity of stem cells in tooth and taste bud renewal

Project description:We use the continuously replacing dentition of Lake Malawi cichlid fishes to understand de-novo tooth replacement in adult vertebrates. In this system, each tooth is replaced in a one-for-one fashion every ~50 days. Here, we explore the source of epithelial stem cells for tooth replacement.

Transcriptional profiles associated with Context dependent behavior in Rock X Sand F1 in Lake Malawi Cichlids

Project description:We sought to evaluate the brain gene expression profiles of male courtship display. To assess male display and courtship behavior, we designed a courtship preference assay. We evaluated social interactions between males and females using a 40 gallon tank design with a ‘rock’ habitat at one end and ‘sand’ at the other, separated by glass bottom. When parental rock species (Petrotilapia nigra (TaxId 526958), Maylandia zebra (TaxId 106582), Labeotropheus feulliborni) are placed in this tank paradigm, males court females over the rocks. Males of sand species (Mchenga conophorus, Aulonocara baenschi (TaxId 143496), Tramitichromis intermedius (TaxId 323801)) court females over sand and construct species appropriate bowers. When single rock x sand F1 males were placed in this set up with F1 females, males invariably courted females over the ‘rock’ habitat, suggesting genetic dominance. When two rock x sand F1 males were allowed to compete for F1 females in this tank paradigm, something interesting happened. One male, typically the larger, courted females over the rock habitat, and the other simultaneously constructed bowers to court females in the sand. We detected no difference in GSI (gonadal somatic index) between F1 males behaving as ‘socially rock’ vs. ‘socially sand.’ This observation of divergent behavior among interacting F1 brothers suggests an interaction between the genome and the social environment in these males.

Dynamic co-evolution of transposable elements and the piRNA pathway in East African cichlid fishes [smallRNA-seq]

Project description:East African cichlid fishes have diversified in an explosive fashion, but the (epi)genetic basis of the phenotypic diversity of these fishes remains largely unknown. Although transposable elements (TEs) have been associated with phenotypic variation in cichlids, little is known about their transcriptional activity and epigenetic silencing. Here, we describe dynamic patterns of TE expression in African cichlid gonads and during early development. Orthology inference revealed an expansion of piwil1 genes in Lake Malawi cichlids, likely driven by PiggyBac TEs. The expanded piwil1 copies have signatures of positive selection and retain amino acid residues essential for catalytic activity. Furthermore, the gonads of African cichlids express a Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway that target TEs. We define the genomic sites of piRNA production in African cichlids and find divergence in closely related species, in line with fast evolution of piRNA-producing loci. Our findings suggest dynamic co-evolution of TEs and host silencing pathways in the African cichlid radiations. We propose that this co-evolution has contributed to cichlid genomic diversity.
