Dissecting the Genetic Basis of a Complex cis-Regulatory Adaptation
Although single genes underlying several evolutionary adaptations have been identified, the genetic basis of complex, polygenic adaptations has been far more challenging to pinpoint. Here we report that the budding yeast Saccharomyces paradoxus has recently evolved resistance to citrinin, a naturally occurring mycotoxin. Applying a genome-wide test for selection on cis-regulation, we identified...
متن کاملGenetic Architecture: Dissecting the Genetic Basis of Phenotypic Variation
Identifying genes that influence phenotypic variation within species has proven to be more difficult than expected. A recent study has achieved exceptional success in yeast, and demonstrates how complex genetic architecture can be.
متن کاملThe Molecular Mechanism of a Cis-Regulatory Adaptation in Yeast
Despite recent advances in our ability to detect adaptive evolution involving the cis-regulation of gene expression, our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying these adaptations has lagged far behind. Across all model organisms, the causal mutations have been discovered for only a handful of gene expression adaptations, and even for these, mechanistic details (e.g. the trans-regulator...
متن کاملDissecting the genetic basis of myoclonic-astatic epilepsy.
Herman Doose first described the generalized childhood epilepsy syndrome of myoclonic astatic epilepsy (MAE) in 1970, attributing a genetic cause from this first description. However, although the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) defined criteria for MAE in 1989, the diagnostic boundaries of the syndrome continue to be debated. Moreover, 40 years since Doose's first description of M...
متن کاملThe molecular genetic basis of plant adaptation.
How natural selection on adaptive traits is filtered to the genetic level remains largely unknown. Theory and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping have provided insights into the number and effect of genes underlying adaptations, but these results have been hampered by questions of applicability to real biological systems and poor resolution, respectively. Advances in molecular technologies h...
