Complex genetic interactions underlying expression differences between Drosophila races: analysis of chromosome substitutions.
Regulation of gene expression is usually separated into cis and trans components. The separation may become artificial if much of the variation in expression is under multigenic and epistatic (e.g., cis-by-trans) control. There is hence a need to quantify the relative contribution of cis, trans, and cis-by-trans effects on expression divergence at different levels of evolution. To do so across ...
متن کاملRegulatory divergence in Drosophila revealed by mRNA-seq.
The regulation of gene expression is critical for organismal function and is an important source of phenotypic diversity between species. Understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms responsible for regulatory divergence is therefore expected to provide insight into evolutionary change. Using deep sequencing, we quantified total and allele-specific mRNA expression levels genome-wide in tw...
متن کاملTempo and mode of regulatory evolution in Drosophila.
Genetic changes affecting gene expression contribute to phenotypic divergence; thus, understanding how regulatory networks controlling gene expression change over time is critical for understanding evolution. Prior studies of expression differences within and between species have identified properties of regulatory divergence, but technical and biological differences among these studies make it...
متن کاملDominance and the evolutionary accumulation of cis- and trans-effects on gene expression.
Gene expression levels appear to be under pervasive stabilizing selection. Yet the genetic architecture underlying abundant gene expression diversity within and between populations remains elusive. Here, we investigated the role of dominance in the segregation of cis- and trans-regulation within and between populations. We used chromosome substitution lines of Drosophila melanogaster to show th...
متن کاملRegulatory effects of cis- and trans-LncRNAs on differential expression of genes following infection with viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
In this study the cis and trans regulatory effect of long non-coding genes (lncRNA) on the expression of genes in fish infected by Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHS) was investigated using RNA-seq technology. At the end of experimental period (the thirty fifth day), total RNA was extracted from spleen tissue (group treated with virus) and physiological serum (control group) was used to pr...
