Morphometric and genetic characterization of cultured and wild populations of tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus in India. 3 Biotech 2024; 14:51. [PMID: 38274848 PMCID: PMC10805755 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-023-03895-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
To study genetic variation in Indian populations of tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, both truss morphometrics and genetic characterization have been performed. In the present study, 88 individuals from two farm populations (GIFT and West Bengal) and one reservoir population (Gujarat) were selected to analyse variations at ten morphometric landmarks and eight microsatellite loci. Truss morphometric analysis showed PCI, PCII, and PCIII expressing 29.1%, 21.36%, and 15.48% of the variance, respectively. Results showed no clear shift in shape between the studied populations of O. niloticus, indicating low morphological variability among them. The number of microsatellite alleles ranged from 3 to 9, while expected heterozygosity (HE) and observed heterozygosity (HO) values ranged from 0.56 (WB) to 0.68 (Guj) and 0.59 (GIFT) to 0.72 (Guj), respectively. The Gujarat and West Bengal populations had the smallest pairwise distance (0.0123) between them, indicating that they were genetically closer. Individuals from GIFT, however, showed the largest distance from the other populations. DNA marker variations revealed the highest genetic variability in the Gujarat population and the lowest variability in the GIFT population. The results of this study will help establish a base population for genetic improvement program and conservation of wild populations.

Genetic differentiation following recent domestication events: A study of farmed Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus) populations. Evol Appl 2023; 16:1220-1235. [PMID: 37360025 PMCID: PMC10286235 DOI: 10.1111/eva.13560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is among the most farmed finfish worldwide, distributed across different environmental conditions. Its wide distribution has mainly been facilitated by several breeding programs and widespread dissemination of genetically improved strains. In the first Nile tilapia study exploiting a whole-genome pooled sequencing (Poolseq) approach, we identified the genetic structure and signatures of selection in diverse, farmed Nile tilapia populations, with a particular focus on the GIFT strain, developed in the 1980s, and currently managed by WorldFish (GIFTw). We also investigated important farmed strains from The Philippines and Africa. Using both SNP array data and Poolseq SNPs, we characterized the population structure of these samples. We observed the greatest separation between the Asian and African populations and greater admixture in the Asian populations than in the African ones. We also established that the SNP array data were able to successfully resolve relationships between these diverse Nile tilapia populations. The Poolseq data identified genomic regions with high levels of differentiation (F ST) between GIFTw and the other populations. Gene ontology terms associated with mesoderm development were significantly enriched in the genes located in these regions. A region on chromosome Oni06 was genetically differentiated in pairwise comparisons between GIFTw and all other populations. This region contains genes associated with muscle-related traits and overlaps with a previously published QTL for fillet yield, suggesting that these traits may have been direct targets for selection on GIFT. A nearby region was also identified using XP-EHH to detect genomic differentiation using the SNP array data. Genomic regions with high or extended homozygosity within each population were also identified. This study provides putative genomic landmarks associated with the recent domestication process in several Nile tilapia populations, which could help to inform their genetic management and improvement.

Whole-genome resequencing reveals recent signatures of selection in five populations of largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides). Zool Res 2023; 44:78-89.

Abstract
Largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides) is an economically important fish species in North America, Europe, and China. Various genetic improvement programs and domestication processes have modified its genome sequence through selective pressure, leaving nucleotide signals that can be detected at the genomic level. In this study, we sequenced 149 largemouth bass fish, including protospecies (imported from the US) and improved breeds (four domestic breeding populations from China). We detected genomic regions harboring certain genes associated with improved traits, which may be useful molecular markers for practical domestication, breeding, and selection. Subsequent analyses of genetic diversity and population structure revealed that the improved breeds have undergone more rigorous genetic changes. Through selective signal analysis, we identified hundreds of putative selective sweep regions in each largemouth bass line. Interestingly, we predicted 103 putative candidate genes potentially subjected to selection, including several associated with growth (p sst1 and grb10), early development ( klf9, sp4, and sp8), and immune traits ( pkn2, sept2, bcl6, and ripk2). These candidate genes represent potential genomic landmarks that could be used to improve important traits of biological and commercial interest. In summary, this study provides a genome-wide map of genetic variations and selection footprints in largemouth bass, which may benefit genetic studies and accelerate genetic improvement of this economically important fish.

Front Microbiol 2021; 12:663217. [PMID: 34149650 PMCID: PMC8212970 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.663217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 05/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Heavy metal pollution is a global knotty problem and fungi hold promising potential for the remediation of wastewater containing heavy metals. Here, a new highly chromium-tolerance species, Penicillium janthinellum P1, is investigated. The genome of P1 was sequenced and assembled into 30 Mb genome size containing 10,955 predicted protein-coding genes with a GC content of 46.16% through an integrated method of Illumina short-read sequencing and single-molecule real-time Pacific Biosciences sequencing platforms. Through a phylogenetic analysis with model species of fungi, the evolutionary divergence time of Penicillium janthinellum P1 and Penicillium oxalicum 114-2 was estimated to be 74 MYA. 33 secondary metabolism gene clusters were identified via antiSMASH software, mainly including non-ribosomal peptide synthase genes and T1 polyketide synthase genes. 525 genes were annotated to encode enzymes that act on carbohydrates, involving 101 glucose-degrading enzymes and 24 polysaccharide synthase. By whole-genome sequence analysis, large numbers of metal resistance genes were found in strain P1. Especially ABC transporter and Superoxide dismutase ensure that the P1 fungus can survive in a chromium-polluted environment. ChrA and ChrR were also identified as key genes for chromium resistance. Analysis of their genetic loci revealed that the specific coding-gene arrangement may account for the fungus’s chromium resistance. Genetic information and comparative analysis of Penicillium janthinellum are valuable for further understanding the mechanism of high resistance to heavy metal chromium, and gene loci analysis provides a new perspective for identifying chromium-resistant strains.
