Elephant genomes reveal insights into differences in disease defense mechanisms between species [NEW RESULTS]

Disease susceptibility and defense are important factors in conservation, particularly for elephants. We report that in addition to endotheliotropic herpesvirus and tuberculosis, Asian elephants are also more susceptible to cancer than African elephants. To determine mechanisms underlying elephant traits including disease resistance, we analyzed genomic datasets from multiple individuals and species. We report a draft genome assembly for the Asian elephant and an improved African elephant assembly....

Coordinated evolution between N2 neuraminidase and H1 and H3 hemagglutinin genes increased influenza A virus genetic diversity in swine [NEW RESULTS]

Sun May 31, 2020 03:00

The neuraminidase (NA) and hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza A virus (IAV) are essential surface glycoproteins. In this study, the evolution of subtype N2 NA paired with H1 and H3 subtype HA in swine was evaluated to understand if genetic diversity of HA and NA were linked. Using time-scaled Bayesian phylodynamic analyses, the relationships of paired swine N2 with H1 or H3 from 2009 to 2018 were evaluated. These data demonstrated increased relative genetic diversity within the major N2 clades circulating...

Step-specific adaptation and trade-off over the course of an infection by GASP-mutation small colony variants [NEW RESULTS]

Sun May 31, 2020 03:00

During an infection, parasites face a succession of challenges, each decisive for disease outcome. The diversity of challenges requires a series of parasite adaptations to successfully multiply and transmit from host to host. Thus, the pathogen genotypes which succeed during one step might be counter-selected in later stages of the infection. Using the bacteria Xenorhabdus nematophila and adult Drosophila melanogaster as hosts, we showed that such step-specific adaptations, here linked to GASP mutations...

Patterns of speciation are similar across mountainous and lowland regions for a Neotropical plant radiation (Costaceae: Costus) [NEW RESULTS]

Sun May 31, 2020 03:00

High species richness and endemism in tropical mountains are recognized as major contributors to the latitudinal diversity gradient. The processes underlying mountain speciation, however, are largely untested. The formation of steep ecogeographic gradients and the geographic isolation of populations by geological features are predicted to promote speciation in mountains relative to lowland regions. We evaluate these processes in a species-rich Neotropical genus of understory herbs, Costus, that range...

Distinguishing coalescent models - which statistics matter most? [NEW RESULTS]

Sun May 31, 2020 03:00

Modelling genetic diversity needs an underlying genealogy model. To choose a fitting model based on genetic data, one can perform model selection between classes of genealogical trees, e.g. Kingman's coalescent with exponential growth or multiple merger coalescents. Such selection can be based on many different statistics measuring genetic diversity. A random forest based Approximate Bayesian Computation is used to disentangle the effects of different statistics on distinguishing between various...

Reference genome and transcriptome informed by the sex chromosome complement of the sample increases ability to detect sex differences in gene expression from RNA-Seq data [NEW RESULTS]

Sun May 31, 2020 03:00

Background: Human X and Y chromosomes share an evolutionary origin and, as a consequence, sequence similarity. We investigated whether sequence homology between the X and Y chromosomes affects alignment of RNA-Seq reads and estimates of differential expression. We tested the effects of using reference genomes and reference transcriptomes informed by the sex chromosome complement of the sample's genome on measurements of RNA-Seq abundance and sex differences in expression. Results: The default genome...
