None of the hypotheses proposed in the literature is firmly established, mainly due to the many confounding factors related to the diverse habitats of species with streamlined genomes. Computational models may help overcome these difficulties and rigorously test hypotheses. In this work, we used Aevol, a platform designed to study the evolution of genome architecture, to test 2 main hypotheses: that an increase in population size (N) or mutation rate (μ) could cause genome reduction. In our experiments, both conditions lead to streamlining but have very different resulting genome structures. Under increased population sizes, genomes lose a significant fraction of noncoding sequences but maintain their coding size, resulting in densely packed genomes (akin to streamlined marine bacteria genomes). By contrast, under an increased mutation rate, genomes lose both coding and noncoding sequences (akin to endosymbiotic bacteria genomes). Hence, both factors lead to an overall reduction in genome size, but the coding density of the genome appears to be determined by N×μ. Thus, a broad range of genome size and density can be achieved by different combinations of N and μ. Our results suggest that genome size and coding density are determined by the interplay between selection for phenotypic adaptation and selection for robustness.","PeriodicalId":12779,"journal":{"name":"Genome Biology and Evolution","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11666309/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142681680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this, we used mRNA-seq to isolate genes differentially expressed between ovary-active and ovary-inactive workers in the intermediately eusocial bumblebee Bombus terrestris. By comparisons with data from the advanced eusocial honeybee Apis mellifera, which shows reduced worker reproductivity, we characterized gene expression differences associated with change in worker reproductivity as a function of eusocial complexity. By comparisons with genes associated with queen-worker caste development in B. terrestris larvae, we tested the behavioral-morphological caste homology hypothesis, which proposes co-option of genes influencing reproductive division of labor in adults in morphological caste evolution. We conducted comparisons having isolated genes expressed in B. terrestris worker-laid eggs to remove the potential confound caused by gene expression in eggs. Gene expression differences between the B. terrestris worker phenotypes were mainly in fat body and ovary, not brain. Many genes (86%) more highly expressed in ovary of ovary-active workers were also expressed in worker-laid eggs, confirming egg-expressed genes were potentially confounding. Comparisons across B. terrestris and A. mellifera, and with B. terrestris larvae, returned significant percentage overlaps in differentially expressed genes and/or enriched Gene Ontology terms, suggesting conserved gene functions underpin worker reproductivity as it declines with increasing eusocial complexity and providing support for the behavioral-morphological caste homology hypothesis. Therefore, within bees, both a degree of conserved gene use and gene co-option appear to underlie the molecular basis of worker reproductivity and morphological caste evolution.","PeriodicalId":12779,"journal":{"name":"Genome Biology and Evolution","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11670783/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142812736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple displacement amplification leverages Phi29 DNA polymerase to produce micrograms of DNA from picograms of input. However, multiple displacement amplification's inherent biases in amplification related to guanine and cytosine (GC) content, repeat content and chimera production are a problem for long-read genome assembly, which has been little investigated. We explored the utility of multiple displacement amplification for generating template DNA for High Fidelity (HiFi) sequencing directly from living cells of Caenorhabditis elegans (Nematoda) and Lepidodermella squamata (Gastrotricha) containing one order of magnitude less DNA than required for the PacBio Ultra-Low DNA Input Workflow. High Fidelity sequencing of libraries prepared from multiple displacement amplification products resulted in highly contiguous and complete genomes for both C. elegans (102 Mbp assembly; 336 contigs; N50 = 868 kbp; L50 = 39; BUSCO_nematoda_nucleotide: S:96.1%, D:2.8%) and L. squamata (122 Mbp assembly; 157 contigs; N50 = 3.9 Mbp; L50 = 13; BUSCO_metazoa_nucleotide: S:80.8%, D:2.8%).

Using this approach, we sequenced the genome of the microscopic invertebrate L. squamata (Gastrotricha), the first of its phylum.

Here, we develop new genomic resources for C. solstitialis and map the genetic basis of invasiveness traits. We present a chromosome-scale (1N = 8) reference genome using PacBio CLR and Dovetail Omni-C technologies, and functional gene annotation using RNAseq.

Using an F2 mapping population derived from a cross between native and invading parents, with a restriction site-associated DNA (RAD)-based genetic map, we validate the assembly and identify 13 quantitative trait loci underpinning size traits that have evolved during invasion. We find evidence that large effects of quantitative trait loci may be associated with structural variants between native and invading genotypes, including a variant with an overdominant and pleiotropic effect on key invader traits.

However, existing tools for predicting open reading frames (ORFs) from transcriptomes are limited in these scenarios. Here we introduce Transcript Identification and Selection (TIdeS), a framework designed to address these nontrivial challenges associated with current 'omics approaches. Using transcriptomes from 32 taxa, representing the breadth of eukaryotic diversity, TIdeS outperforms most conventional ORF-prediction methods (i.e. TransDecoder), identifying a greater proportion of complete and in-frame ORFs. Additionally, TIdeS accurately classifies ORFs using minimal input data, even in the presence of \"heavy contamination\". This built-in flexibility extends to previously unexplored biological interactions, offering a robust single-stop solution for precise ORF predictions and subsequent decontamination. Beyond applications in phylogenomic-based studies, TIdeS provides a robust means to explore biotic interactions in eukaryotes (e.g. host-symbiont, prey-predator) and for reproducible dataset curation from transcriptomes and genomes.","PeriodicalId":12779,"journal":{"name":"Genome Biology and Evolution","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11631190/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142686861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, since genetic material is shared, sex-specific selection in one sex can have an indirect response in the other sex. From a gene expression perspective, this tethered response can move one sex away from their wild-type expression state and potentially impact many gene regulatory networks. Here, using experimental evolution in the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, we explore the coupling of direct sexual selection on males with the transcriptomic response in males and females over microevolutionary timescales to uncover the extent to which postinsemination reproductive traits share a genetic basis between the sexes. We find that differential gene expression evolved in a sex-specific manner in males, while in females, indirect selection causes an evolved response. Almost all differentially expressed genes were downregulated in both evolved males and females. Moreover, 97% of significantly differentially expressed genes in males and 69% of significantly differentially expressed genes in females have wild-type female-biased expression profile. Changes in gene expression profiles were likely driven through trans-acting pathways that are shared between the sexes. We found no evidence that the core dosage compensation machinery was impacted by experimental evolution. Together, these data suggest a defeminization of the male transcriptome and masculinization of the female transcriptome driven by direct selection on male sperm competitive ability. Our results indicate that on short evolutionary timescales, sexual selection can generate putative sexual conflict in expression space.","PeriodicalId":12779,"journal":{"name":"Genome Biology and Evolution","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11687035/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142686871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Differentially expressed genes in AP2/ERF-like transcription factors and seven structural gene families, including lactoperoxidase, laccase, and cellulose synthase-interactive proteins, which are involved in secondary cell wall component accumulation, were identified to exert key roles in pod dehiscence variation. In accordance with this, higher lignin and cellulose contents were observed in pod secondary cell wall of dehiscent accessions of soybean and pea; however, the variation patterns of lignin polymers in soybean (accumulation) and pea (proportion) differed between dehiscent and indehiscent pods. Moreover, genome-wide comparative analysis revealed that orthogroups represented <1% of all identified differentially expressed genes could be traced among the four genera of legumes, while recruiting paralogous members may constitute the genetic robustness of legume pod dehiscence.

However, ascrotal mammals, such as cetaceans, with naturally undescended testes, produce normal spermatozoa similar to their scrotal counterparts. This study investigates the evolutionary pattern and functional changes in PRMs and TNPs to explore the potential molecular mechanisms underlying spermatogenesis in naturally ascrotal mammals. Although we found a conserved genomic arrangement for PRM and TNP genes across mammals, the coevolutionary loss of intact PRM2 and TNP2 was observed in several species, correlating significantly with diverse testicular positions. Notably, in cetaceans, which lack intact PRM2 and TNP2, we detected enhanced thermostability and DNA binding in PRM1, along with superior DNA repair capability in TNP1. These findings suggest that gene loss of PRM2 and TNP2, combined with functional enhancements in PRM1 and TNP1 proteins, evolved in response to physiological challenges posed by natural cryptorchidism in most ascrotal lineages.

In the butterfly genus Morpho, several species coexist in sympatry, with specialization across forest strata and temporal niches. We analyzed the genomes of eight Morpho species, along with previously published genomes of three others, to compare chromosomal rearrangements and signs of positive selection in the Z chromosome vs. autosomes. We found extensive chromosomal rearrangements in Z chromosome, particularly in sympatric species with similar ecological niches, suggesting a role for inversions in restricting gene flow at a postzygotic level. Z-linked genes also exhibited significantly higher dN/dS ratios than autosomal genes across the genus, with pronounced differences in closely related species living in sympatry. Additionally, we examined the evolution of eight circadian clock genes, detecting positive selection in Period, located on the Z chromosome.
