    • Background: In the study of transposable elements (TEs), the generation of a high confidence set of consensus sequences that represent the diversity of TEs found in a given genome is a key step in the path to investigate these fascinating genomic elements. Many algorithms and pipelines are available to automatically identify putative TE families present in a genome. Despite the availability of these valuable resources, producing a library of high-quality full-length TE consensus sequences largely remains a process of manual curation. This know-how is often passed on from mentor-to-mentee within research groups, making it difficult for those outside the field to access this highly specialised skill.Results: Our manuscript attempts to fill this gap by providing a set of detailed computer protocols, software recommendations and video tutorials for those aiming to manually curate TEs. Detailed step-by-step protocols, aimed at the complete beginner, are presented in the Supplementary Methods.Conclusions: The proposed set of programs and tools presented here will make the process of manual curation achievable and amenable to all researchers and in special to those new to the field of TEs.

  • Recurrent chromosome reshuffling and the evolution of neo-sex chromosomes in parrots
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Nature Communications. - : Springer Nature. - 2041-1723. ; 13:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Parrots have undergone substantial karyotype evolution compared to most other birds. Here, Huang et al. analyze chromosome-level genome assemblies for four parrot species and elucidate the complex evolutionary history of parrot chromosomes. The karyotype of most birds has remained considerably stable during more than 100 million years' evolution, except for some groups, such as parrots. The evolutionary processes and underlying genetic mechanism of chromosomal rearrangements in parrots, however, are poorly understood. Here, using chromosome-level assemblies of four parrot genomes, we uncover frequent chromosome fusions and fissions, with most of them occurring independently among lineages. The increased activities of chromosomal rearrangements in parrots are likely associated with parrot-specific loss of two genes, ALC1 and PARP3, that have known functions in the repair of double-strand breaks and maintenance of genome stability. We further find that the fusion of the ZW sex chromosomes and chromosome 11 has created a pair of neo-sex chromosomes in the ancestor of parrots, and the chromosome 25 has been further added to the sex chromosomes in monk parakeet. Together, the combination of our genomic and cytogenetic analyses characterizes the complex evolutionary history of chromosomal rearrangements and sex chromosomes in parrots.

  • Transposon- and Genome Dynamics in the Fungal Genus Neurospora: Insights from Nearly Gapless Genome Assemblies
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Fungal Genetics Reports. - : New Prairie Press. - 1941-4765. ; 66:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A large portion of nuclear DNA is composed of transposable element (TE) sequences, whose transposition is controlled by diverse host defense strategies in order to maintain genomic integrity. One such strategy is the fungal-specific Repeat-Induced Point mutation (RIP) that hyper-mutates repetitive DNA sequences. While RIP is found across Fungi, it has been shown to vary in efficiency. The filamentous ascomycete Neurospora crassa has been a pioneer in the study of RIP, but data on TEs and RIP from other species in the genus is limited. In this study, we investigated 18 nearly gapless genome assemblies of ten Neurospora species, which diverged from a common ancestor about 7 MYA, to determine and compare genome-wide TE distribution and their associated RIP patterns. Four of these assemblies, generated by PacBio technology, represent new genomic datasets. We showed that the TE contents (8.7-18.9%) covary with genome sizes that range between 37.8-43.9 Mb. Degraded copies of Long Terminal Repeat (LTR) retrotransposons were abundant among the identified TEs, and these are distributed across the genome at varying frequencies. In all investigated Neurospora genomes, TE sequences had signs of numerous C-to-T substitutions, suggesting that RIP occurred in all species, and accordingly, RIP signatures correlated with TE-dense regions in all genomes. In conclusion, essentially gapless genome assemblies allowed us to identify TEs in Neurospora genomes, and reveal that TEs contribute to genome size variation in this group. Our study suggests that TEs and RIP are highly correlated in each examined Neurospora species, and hence, the pattern of interaction is conserved over the investigated evolutionary timescale. Finally, with our results, we verify that RIP signatures can be used to facilitate the identification of TE-rich regions in the genome. The comprehensive genomic dataset of Neurospora is a rich resource for further in- depth analyses of fungal genomes by the community.
