主要方法:

在Drosophila melanogaster的中肠,后肠和Malpighian管道中分析了基因表达.
评估肠道组织中的微生物组合.
检查了异位基因特异性表达,以区分 cis 和 trans 效应.

主要成果:

检测到广泛的组织和遗传背景对基因表达和微生物群的特异性影响.
组织特异性影响通常比遗传背景影响更强.
转基因效应表现出比cis效应更大的组织特异性,特别是在具有不同种群之间差异性表达的基因中.

结论:

在人口分歧期间,调节元件的演变,特别是跨效应,可以在空间上微调.
转变变异的这种空间微调提供了对 cis 和 trans 调节演变的新见解.
这些发现突出了组织特异性和遗传背景在塑造调控进化的复杂相互作用.

Position-effect Variegation

Position-effect Variegation

In 1928, a German botanist Emil Heitz observed the moss nuclei with a DNA binding dye. He observed that while some chromatin regions decondense and spread out in the interphase nucleus, others do not. He termed them euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. He proposed that the heterochromatin regions reflect a functionally inactive state of the genome. It was later confirmed that heterochromatin is transcriptionally repressed, and euchromatin is transcriptionally active chromatin.

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...
