The Landscape of Extreme Genomic Variation in the Highly Adaptable Atlantic Killifish

Abstract: Understanding and predicting the fate of populations in changing environments require knowledge about the mechanisms that support phenotypic plasticity and the adaptive value and evolutionary fate of genetic variation within populations. Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) exhibit extensive phenotypic plasticity that supports large population sizes in highly fluctuating estuarine environments. Populations have also evolved diverse local adaptations. To yield insights into the genomic variation that supp… Show more

“…iRNA were annotated using the miRMiner software (Tarver et al, 2013; Wheeler et al, 2009) and the killifish genome assembly (Reid et al, 2017). Using miRMiner, the clipped and length-filtered reads from all samples were collapsed into unique sequence tags.…”

“…Transcript 3’ UTR sequences were obtained for all annotated genes in the Fundulus heteroclitus genome (Reid et al, 2017) and the miRanda miRNA targeting algorithm was used to predict targets of miR-135b (Enright et al, 2003). A minimum score of 145 and maximum binding energy −15 kcal/mol were used as criteria for target identification.…”

“…We utilized the recently released Fundulus genome (fundulus.org) (Reid et al, 2016; Reid et al, 2017) together with multiple large sequencing data sets to 1) characterize RyR and FKBP1 sequences present in the Fundulus genome, 2) determine the age and tissue specific mRNA expression of RyR and FKBP1 genes in killifish 3) evaluate the molecular phylogenetic relationships and key residue conservation, as it relates to PCB toxicity, between the RyR and FKBP1 in killifish and that of other model teleost and mammalian species and 4) determine whether killifish from NBH display genetic variation, including single nucleotide variants (SNV), in RyR and FKBP1 genes as compared to the SC reference population.…”
