Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.5K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Cis-regulatory Sequences

11.3K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Comparative Genomics
  • Population Genetics

Background:

  • Genome sequencing has improved understanding of non-protein-coding DNA.
  • Conserved Non-Protein-Coding Elements (CNEs) are crucial but challenging to interpret functionally, especially in non-mammalian species like chickens.
  • Existing genomic annotations often lack comprehensive functional insights for CNEs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically identify and functionally annotate CNEs in the chicken genome.
  • To develop a novel variant effect prediction tool, chicken Combined Annotation-Dependent Depletion (chCADD), for chicken CNEs.
  • To investigate the functional significance of genetic variants within chicken CNEs.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a combination of population genomics and comparative genomics approaches.
  • Developed the chCADD model, adapting a previously established variant effect prediction tool.
  • Analyzed SNP densities and allele frequency distributions within conserved genomic regions.

Main Results:

  • Identified 73 Mb of conserved genomic regions in chickens, with most in non-protein-coding areas.
  • Demonstrated that these conserved regions exhibit characteristics of purifying selection.
  • The chCADD scores successfully pinpointed subregions within CNEs containing variants associated with known disease genes in other vertebrates.

Conclusions:

  • Conserved non-protein-coding elements in the chicken genome harbor functionally significant variants.
  • The chCADD tool enhances the ability to identify important variants within CNEs, complementing protein-coding mutation studies.
  • Findings provide valuable resources for the scientific community and breeding companies for future functional genomics research in chickens.
