  • Reproducible and Multi-Study Transcriptomic Integration with disint , Disease Integration and Clustering Toolkit, and Application to Drug Repositioning
    Yi Cong; Naoki Osada; Toshinori Endo
    OMICS: A Journal of Integrative Biology, SAGE Publications, 13 Jan. 2026, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, Integrating Big Data, such as large-scale transcriptomic datasets across diseases, continues to be a major challenge. This is in part due to inconsistent preprocessing and the lack of a standardized, reproducible analytical framework. Existing pipelines often rely on manual parameter tuning and fragmented scripts, which limits cross-dataset comparability and downstream interpretability. We developed disint (disease integration and clustering toolkit), an open-source Python framework for standardized cross-dataset expression integration, embedding, and clustering. The pipeline implements housekeeping gene-based normalization, disease-specific log 2 fold-change computation, automated Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection hyperparameter optimization, and adaptive K-means clustering. Building on its outputs, we further implemented a prototype downstream module, disease reposition , which extracts disease-specific gene signatures, evaluates their shared components, and explores potential drug repositioning candidates. The framework was validated on 28 transcriptomic datasets encompassing 34 disease categories and 386 samples, including 255 patient and 131 healthy control samples, covering 194,182 genes in total. These results highlight the reproducibility, scalability, and translational versatility of our proposed framework.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Many recent lines of evidence from the human microbiome and other fields indicate bacterial involvement in various types of cancer. Helicobacter pylori has been recognized as the major cause of stomach cancer (gastric cancer), but the mechanism by which it destabilizes the human genome to cause cancer remains unclear. Our recent studies have identified a unique family of toxic restriction enzymes that excise a base (A: adenine) from their recognition sequence (5’-GTAC). At the resulting abasic sites (5’-GT_C), its inherent endonuclease activity or that of a separate endonuclease may yield atypical strand breaks that resist repair by ligation. Here we present evidence demonstrating involvement of its H. pylori member, HpPabI, in stomach carcinogenesis: (i) Association of intact HpPabI gene with gastric cancer in the global Helicobacter pylori Genome Project and the open genomes; (ii) Frequent mutations at A in 5’-GTAC in the gastric cancer genomes as well as in H. pylori genomes; (iii) Its induction of chromosomal double-strand breaks in infected human cells and of mutagenesis in bacterial test systems. In addition, its unique regions that interact with DNA exhibit signs of diversifying selection. Our further analysis revealed similar oncogenic bacterium-restriction-enzyme pairs for other types of cancer. These results set another stage for cancer research and medicine around oncogenic restriction enzymes.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    The Japanese Archipelago hosts a diverse group of mammalian species, including subterranean moles, whose migratory and dispersion patterns are believed to have been significantly influenced by environmental fluctuations during the Quaternary period. However, the genetic structure of these species has not been extensively studied using large-scale molecular data. In this study, we explored the population structure of 2 widely distributed mole species in Japan: the Lesser Japanese Mole (Mogera imaizumii), found mainly in eastern Honshu with a few isolated patches in western Honshu, and the Large Japanese Mole (M. wogura), distributed in western Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. We constructed a genome sequence for M. wogura using the Chromium system and conducted a reduced genome representation analysis using multiplexed inter-simple sequence repeat genotyping by sequencing on M. imaizumii and M. wogura. Our findings indicate that M. imaizumii comprises 3 major genetic clusters (ncMim- 1 to 3) that are strongly differentiated (fixation index ranging from 0.376 to 0.478). We discovered genetic connections between populations in the southern Kinki area and isolated populations in western Japan. Mogera wogura consists of 5 main genetic clusters (ncMwo- 1 to 5). Evidence of introgression between 2 genetic clusters (ncMwo-2/ncMwo-3) was found among individuals from the Chugoku area, indicating secondary contact between the 2 differentiated populations. Both species shared a similar population boundary within the Kinki area, which may be associated with current and past geographic barriers. We confirmed that the Kinki region serves as an important site for the diversification of moles, where multiple factors (topographic barriers, interspecific interactions, and/or isolation related to vegetation) may have shaped their population genetic structures.
  • Population Genomics of Japanese Macaques (Macaca fuscata): Insights Into Deep Population Divergence and Multiple Merging Histories

    Genome Biology and Evolution, 17, 1, Oxford University Press (OUP), 06 Jan. 2025, [Peer-reviewed], [Last author, Corresponding author]
    Scientific journal, Abstract

    The influence of long-term climatic changes such as glacial cycles on the history of living organisms has been a subject of research for decades, but the detailed population dynamics during the environmental fluctuations and their effects on genetic diversity and genetic load are not well understood on a genome-wide scale. The Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) is a unique primate adapted to the cold environments of the Japanese archipelago. Despite the past intensive research for the Japanese macaque population genetics, the genetic background of Japanese macaques at the whole-genome level has been limited to a few individuals, and the comprehensive demographic history and genetic differentiation of Japanese macaques have been underexplored. We conducted whole-genome sequencing of 64 Japanese macaque individuals from 5 different regions, revealing significant genetic differentiation and functional variant diversity across populations. In particular, Japanese macaques have low genetic diversity and harbor many shared and population-specific gene loss, which might contribute to population-specific phenotypes. Our estimation of population demography using phased haplotypes suggested that, after the strong population bottleneck shared among all populations around 400 to 500 kya, the divergence among populations initiated around 150 to 200 kya, but there has been the time with strong gene flow between some populations after the split, indicating multiple population split and merge events probably due to habitat fragmentation and fusion during glacial cycles. These findings not only present a complex population history of Japanese macaques but also enhance their value as research models, particularly in neuroscience and behavioral studies. This comprehensive genomic analysis sheds light on the adaptation and evolution of Japanese macaques, contributing valuable insights to both evolutionary biology and biomedical research.

    Genome Research, 34, 366, 375, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 20 Mar. 2024, [Peer-reviewed], [Last author, Corresponding author]
    Scientific journal, The house mouse (Mus musculus), which is commensal to humans, has spread globally via human activities, leading to secondary contact between genetically divergent subspecies. This pattern of genetic admixture can provide insights into the selective forces at play in this well-studied model organism. Our analysis of 163 house mouse genomes, with a particular focus on East Asia, revealed substantial admixture between the subspeciescastaneusandmusculus, particularly in Japan and southern China. We revealed, despite the different level of autosomal admixture among regions, that all Y Chromosomes in the East Asian samples belonged to themusculus-type haplogroup, potentially explained by genomic conflict under sex-ratio distortion owing to varying copy numbers of ampliconic genes on sex chromosomes,SlxandSly. Our computer simulations, designed to replicate the observed scenario, show that the preferential fixation ofmusculus-type Y Chromosomes can be achieved with a slight increase in the male-to-female birth ratio. We also investigated the influence of selection on the posthybridization of the subspeciescastaneusandmusculusin Japan. Even though the genetic background of most Japanese samples closely resembles the subspeciesmusculus, certain genomic regions overrepresented thecastaneus-like genetic components, particularly in immune-related genes. Furthermore, a large genomic block (∼2 Mbp) containing a vomeronasal/olfactory receptor gene cluster predominantly harboredcastaneus-type haplotypes in the Japanese samples, highlighting the crucial role of olfaction-based recognition in shaping hybrid genomes.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Helicobacter pylori, a dominant member of the gastric microbiota, shares co-evolutionary history with humans. This has led to the development of genetically distinct H. pylori subpopulations associated with the geographic origin of the host and with differential gastric disease risk. Here, we provide insights into H. pylori population structure as a part of the Helicobacter pylori Genome Project (HpGP), a multi-disciplinary initiative aimed at elucidating H. pylori pathogenesis and identifying new therapeutic targets. We collected 1011 well-characterized clinical strains from 50 countries and generated high-quality genome sequences. We analysed core genome diversity and population structure of the HpGP dataset and 255 worldwide reference genomes to outline the ancestral contribution to Eurasian, African, and American populations. We found evidence of substantial contribution of population hpNorthAsia and subpopulation hspUral in Northern European H. pylori. The genomes of H. pylori isolated from northern and southern Indigenous Americans differed in that bacteria isolated in northern Indigenous communities were more similar to North Asian H. pylori while the southern had higher relatedness to hpEastAsia. Notably, we also found a highly clonal yet geographically dispersed North American subpopulation, which is negative for the cag pathogenicity island, and present in 7% of sequenced US genomes. We expect the HpGP dataset and the corresponding strains to become a major asset for H. pylori genomics.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    For more than 100 years, house mice (Mus musculus) have been used as a key animal model in biomedical research. House mice are genetically diverse, yet their genetic background at the global level has not been fully understood. Previous studies have suggested that they originated in South Asia and diverged into three major subspecies, almost simultaneously, approximately 110,000–500,000 years ago; however, they have spread across the world with the migration of modern humans in prehistoric and historic times (∼10,000 years ago to the present day) and have undergone secondary contact, which has complicated the genetic landscape of wild house mice. In this study, we sequenced the whole-genome sequences of 98 wild house mice collected from Eurasia, particularly East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. Although wild house mice were found to consist of three major genetic groups corresponding to the three major subspecies, individuals representing admixtures between subspecies were more prevalent in East Asia than has been previously recognized. Furthermore, several samples exhibited an incongruent pattern of genealogies between mitochondrial and autosomal genomes. Using samples that likely retained the original genetic components of subspecies with the least admixture, we estimated the pattern and timing of divergence among the subspecies. The estimated divergence time of the three subspecies was 187,000–226,000 years ago. These results will help us to understand the genetic diversity of wild mice on a global scale, and the findings will be particularly useful in future biomedical and evolutionary studies involving laboratory mice established from such wild mice.

  • Whole-genome sequencing analysis reveals the population history of Mus musculus in Madagascar

    Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 10 Sep. 2021
    AbstractIn Madagascar, the house mouse (Mus musculus) is thought to have colonized along with humans and is now one of the most successfully colonized rodents on the island. In this study, we determined the whole-genome sequences of the Madagascar house mouse captured from the wild. We examined the evolutionary history of its population regarding the mitochondrial and autosomal genomes. We confirmed that in the mitochondrial genomes of Madagascar house mice, a monophyletic clade forms a basal origin within the species. An analysis of autosomal genomic sequences indicates that the Madagascar house mouse population is genetically a member of M. m. castaneus (CAS). It also contains genetic elements of M. m. domesticus (DOM) resulting from ancient hybridization. The signature of a strong population bottleneck 1000–3000 years ago was observed in the mitochondrial and autosomal genomic data. We also show that the divergence of the Madagascar population from the CAS population occurred approximately 50,000–99,000 years ago. Madagascar house mice show strong genetic affinity to many CAS samples across a wide range of Indian Ocean coastal regions. However, our results suggest that they would not have originated directly from the Indonesian islands, where Austronesian-speaking people in Madagascar originated. Because the ancient hybridization signature with DOM did not appear in the Indonesian and other CAS samples, we propose that Madagascar house mice were not directly brought by Austronesian-speaking people but came from somewhere around the Middle East or South Asia soon after the colonization of initial farmers.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract
    Previous studies of the brown bear (Ursus arctos) on Hokkaido Island, Japan, have detected three geographically distinct subpopulations representing different mitochondrial lineages and shown that gene flow between subpopulations has occurred due to male-biased dispersal. In this study, we determined whole-genomic sequences for six Hokkaido brown bears and analyzed these data along with previously published genomic sequences of 17 brown bears from other parts of the world. We found that the Hokkaido population is genetically distinct from the other populations, keeping genetic diversity higher than the endangered populations in Western Europe but lower than most populations on the continents. A reconstruction of historical demography showed no increase in population size for the Hokkaido population during the Eemian interglacial period (130,000–114,000 years ago). In a phylogenetic analysis of the autosomal data, the Hokkaido population formed a clade distinct from North American and European populations, showing that it has maintained genetic diversity independently from continental populations following geographical isolation on the island. This autosomal genetic similarity contrasts with the geographically separate mitochondrial lineages on Hokkaido and indicates the occurrence of male-driven gene flow between subpopulations.

    English, Scientific journal, AbstractThe Eurasian house mouse Mus musculus is useful for tracing prehistorical human movement related to the spread of farming. We determined whole mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences (ca. 16,000 bp) of 98 wild-derived individuals of two subspecies, M. m. musculus (MUS) and M. m. castaneus (CAS). We revealed directional dispersals reaching as far as the Japanese Archipelago from their homelands. Our phylogenetic analysis indicated that the eastward movement of MUS was characterised by five step-wise regional extension events: (1) broad spatial expansion into eastern Europe and the western part of western China, (2) dispersal to the eastern part of western China, (3) dispersal to northern China, (4) dispersal to the Korean Peninsula and (5) colonisation and expansion in the Japanese Archipelago. These events were estimated to have occurred during the last 2000–18,000 years. The dispersal of CAS was characterised by three events: initial divergences (ca. 7000–9000 years ago) of haplogroups in northernmost China and the eastern coast of India, followed by two population expansion events that likely originated from the Yangtze River basin to broad areas of South and Southeast Asia, including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Indonesia (ca. 4000–6000 years ago) and to Yunnan, southern China and the Japanese Archipelago (ca. 2000–3500). This study provides a solid framework for the spatiotemporal movement of the human-associated organisms in Holocene Eastern Eurasia using whole mtDNA sequences, reliable evolutionary rates and accurate branching patterns. The information obtained here contributes to the analysis of a variety of animals and plants associated with prehistoric human migration.

    English, Scientific journal,

    The origins of people in the Japanese archipelago are of long-standing interest among anthropologists, archeologists, linguists, and historians studying the history of Japan. While the 'dual-structure' model proposed by Hanihara in 1991 has been considered the primary working hypothesis for three decades, recent advances in DNA typing and sequencing technologies provide an unprecedented amount of present-day and ancient human nuclear genome data, which enable us to refine or extend the dual-structure model. In this review, we summarize recent genome sequencing efforts of present-day and ancient people in Asia, mostly focusing on East Asia, and we discuss the possible migration routes and admixture patterns of Japanese ancestors. We also report on a meta-analysis we performed by compiling publicly available datasets to clarify the genetic relationships of present-day and ancient Japanese populations with surrounding populations. Because the ancient genetic data from the Japanese archipelago have not yet been fully analyzed, we have to corroborate models of prehistoric human movement using not only new genetic data but also linguistic and archeological data to reconstruct a more comprehensive history of the Japanese people.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract
    The role of sex-specific demography in hybridization and admixture of genetically diverged species and populations is essential to understand the origins of the genomic diversity of sexually reproducing organisms. In order to infer how sex-linked loci have been differentiated undergoing frequent hybridization and admixture, we examined 17 whole-genome sequences of seven species of the genus Macaca, which shows frequent inter-specific hybridization and predominantly female philopatry. We found that hybridization and admixture were prevalent within these species. For three cases of suggested hybrid origin of species/subspecies, M. arctoides, M. fascicularis ssp. aurea, and Chinese M. mulatta, we examined the level of admixture of X chromosomes, which is less affected by male-biased migration than that of autosomes. In one case, we were able to determine that M. cyclopis and M. fuscata was genetically closer to Chinese M. mulatta than to the Indian M. mulatta, and the admixture level of Chinese M. mulatta and M. fuscata/cyclopis was more pronounced on the X chromosome than on autosomes. Since the mitochondrial genomes of Chinese M. mulatta, M. cyclopis, and M. fuscata were found to cluster together, and the mitochondrial genome of Indian M. mulatta is more distantly related, the observed pattern of genetic differentiation on X-chromosomal loci is consistent with the nuclear swamping hypothesis, in which strong, continuous male-biased introgression from the ancestral Chinese M. mulatta population to a population related to M. fuscata and M. cyclopis generated incongruencies between the genealogies of the mitochondrial and autosomal genomes.

    English, Scientific journal, The Flaviviridae is a family of enveloped viruses with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome. It contains many viruses that threaten human health, such as Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and yellow fever virus (YFV) of the genus Flavivirus as well as hepatitis C virus of the genus Hepacivirus. Cell culture systems highly permissive for the Flaviviridae viruses are very useful for their isolation, propagation, and diagnosis, an understanding of their biology, and the development of vaccines and antiviral agents. Previously, we isolated a human hepatoma HuH-7-derived cell clone, Huh7.5.1-8, which is highly permissive to hepatitis C virus infection. Here, we have characterized flavivirus infection in the Huh7.5.1-8 cell line by comparing with that in the African green monkey kidney-derived Vero cell line, which is permissive for a wide spectrum of viruses. Upon infection with JEV, Huh7.5.1-8 cells produced a higher amount of virus particles early in infection and were more susceptible to virus-induced cell death than Vero cells. Similar outcomes were obtained when the cells were infected with another flavivirus, YFV (17D-204 strain). Quantification of cellular and extracellular viral RNA revealed that high JEV production in Huh7.5.1-8 cells can be attributed to rapid viral replication kinetics and efficient virus release early in infection. In a plaque assay, Huh7.5.1-8 cells developed JEV plaques more rapidly than Vero cells. Although this was not the case with YFV plaques, Huh7.5.1-8 cells developed higher numbers of YFV plaques than Vero cells. Sequence analysis of cDNA encoding an antiviral RNA helicase, RIG-I, showed that Huh7.5.1-8 cells expressed not only a full-length RIG-I mRNA with a known dominant-negative missense mutation but also variants without the mutation. However, the latter mRNAs lacked exon 5/6-12, indicating functional loss of RIG-I in the cells. These characteristics of the Huh7.5.1-8 cell line are helpful for flavivirus detection, titration, and propagation.

    English, Scientific journal, Colonization of new ecological niches has triggered large adaptive radiations. Although some lineages have made use of such opportunities, not all do so. The factors causing this variation among lineages are largely unknown. Here, we show that deficiency in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an essential ω-3 fatty acid, can constrain freshwater colonization by marine fishes. Our genomic analyses revealed multiple independent duplications of the fatty acid desaturase gene Fads2 in stickleback lineages that subsequently colonized and radiated in freshwater habitats, but not in close relatives that failed to colonize. Transgenic manipulation of Fads2 in marine stickleback increased their ability to synthesize DHA and survive on DHA-deficient diets. Multiple freshwater ray-finned fishes also show a convergent increase in Fads2 copies, indicating its key role in freshwater colonization.

    English, BACKGROUND: Consolidating transcriptome data of non-human primates is essential to annotate primate genome sequences, and will facilitate research using non-human primates in the genomic era. Macaca fascicularis is a macaque monkey that is commonly used for biomedical and ecological research. FINDINGS: We constructed cDNA libraries of Macaca fascicularis, derived from tissues obtained from bone marrow, liver, pancreas, spleen, and thymus of a young male, and kidney of a young female. In total, 5'-end sequences of 56,856 clones were determined. Including the previously established cDNA libraries from brain and testis, we have isolated 112,587 cDNAs of Macaca fascicularis, which correspond to 56% of the curated human reference genes. CONCLUSION: These sequences were deposited in the public sequence database as well as in-house macaque genome database http://genebank.nibio.go.jp/qfbase/. These data will become valuable resources for identifying functional parts of the genome of macaque monkeys in future studies.

    English, Candida albicans water-soluble fraction (CAWS), a mannoprotein-beta-glucan complex obtained from the culture supernatant of C. albicans NBRC1385, exhibits vasculitis-inducing activity (CAWS-vasculitis) in mice. The sensitivity to CAWS-vasculitis varies greatly among mouse strains. This study examined the factors contributing to or inhibiting CAWS-vasculitis using CAWS-vasculitis-resistant CBA/J mice and Bruton's tyrosine kinase-deficient CBA/N mice, which is a CAWS-vasculitis-sensitive strain that has the same origin as CBA/J mice. After stimulation with various kinds of pathogen-associated molecular patterns, the production of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IFN-gamma was induced in CBA/N mice, whereas that of immunosuppressive IL-10 was induced in CAWS-vasculitis-resistant CBA/J mice. Furthermore, the production of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1, an endogenous matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor, was observed in CBA/J mice. The results strongly suggest that the difference in the production of these cytokines is closely linked to the development of CAWS-vasculitis.

    令和5年度は引き続き野生ハツカネズミの内在性レトロウイルス解析を行うと同時に,ヒトゲノム解析へ向けたパイプライン構築と,倫理申請について進めた.ヒトゲノムの大量解析については令和6年に始めることとし,条件検討およびパイプライン構築に努めた.野生ハツカネズミの解析では,ゲノム中に大量の非リファレンス型の内在性ウイルス様配列が存在していることが明らかになった.特に日本由来および韓国由来の野生ハツカネズミにおいて配列の異常な増幅を発見した.また,すでにウイルスへの防御機能をもつことが知られている内在性レトロウイルス由来遺伝子,Fv-1およびFv-4を含むゲノム領域において,日本産のハツカネズミのゲノムが南方型のcastaneus亜種由来のゲノムを多く持つことが示された.特に,Fv-1領域においては何らかの自然選択によってこのようなゲノムの特徴が出来上がったことが示唆された.また,Fv-4は以前より日本由来の個体とcastaneus亜種個体での存在が示唆されていたが,domesticus亜種がもととなっているリファレンス配列には存在しないことが知られていた.本解析では,日本由来個体とcastaneus亜種個体において,Fv-4が予想される位置に挿入されていることを示す証拠を確認することができた.これらのことから,ヒトゲノムとほぼ同じサイズと似たような構造をもつハツカネズミゲノム解析において,解析手法がうまく働くことが示された.

    当初の計画に沿って研究を進行したが,その他の関連する研究も行った.ヤポネシア人ゲノムの解析については,東アジア人におけるアミラーゼ遺伝子のコピー数推定を行った.その際,コピー数推定のバラツキが少なくなるような手法を開発し,従来手法よりもよい精度で東アジア人集団のアミラーゼ遺伝子コピー数推定を行った.その結果,縄文人が現代東アジア人で典型的な8コピーのAMY1遺伝子をもっていることが示された.また,ハプロタイプ情報を用いてヤポネシア人と他の人類集団との分岐年代を推定した.その他,新規手法に基づいて同定されたマイクロサテライト配列の多型を用いて人類集団の解析を行い,従来手法よりもSNP解析に近い結果を得ることができた.さらに,9850人のヤポネシア人全ゲノムシークエンスデータの解析を行い,日本列島内での現代人の遺伝的構造を高解像度で示すことに成功した.他に,希少変異解析を用いて複数の縄文人個体ゲノムや弥生人ゲノムを解析し,別の手法を用いて解析を行った結果と比較した.
    その他,マダガスカル産ハツカネズミの全ゲノム解析による渡来経路の推定,北海道産ヒグマの全ゲノム解析による集団動態の解析,日本列島におけるハツカネズミの亜種間交雑過程の全ゲノム規模での解析,ハイイロオオカミ,ニホンオオカミ,イヌなどのゲノム解析に関する研究など,ヤポネシア人に関する研究だけでなく,動植物のゲノム解析などについての解析を他研究班と共同で進めた.

  • Theoretical and empirical studies for compensatory molecular evolution
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    Apr. 2014 - Mar. 2017
    Osada Naoki
    Compensatory molecular evolution refers to the process where the fixation of multiple mutation that are singly deleterious maintain organismal fitness by compensating their effects. In this research project, we mainly focus on the compensatory weak selection model, where the fixation of slightly advantageous mutations follow the fixation of slightly deleterious mutations in a variety of molecular systems, including protein-protein interaction and gene expression.

    Evolutionarily conserved noncoding sequences (CNSs) were analyzed for whole Eukaryotes, Amniotes, Hominoids, and Hominidae by comparing many genome sequences, and series of new CNS characteristics were discovered (mainly conduced by Saitou). Repeat sequence evolution of New World monkeys were analyzed (mainly conduced by Koga). Genomic structure of chimpanzee Rh blood group gene region was analyzed (mainly conduced by Kitano). Whole-genome sequences of Mauritian cynomolgus macaques and Tibetan macaque were analyzed (mainly conduced by Osada). Substitution type mutation pattens were analyzed by using ENU-induced mice (mainly conduced by OOta). Gene annotation of cynomolgus macaque genome was conducted (mainly conduced by Ikeo). These studies deciphered various facets of genome evolution, in particular, of primates.

  • Analyses of behavior incompatibility triggered by expression changes of pigmentation genes
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    Apr. 2011 - Mar. 2016
    Takahashi Aya; OSADA Naoki
    This study focused on dopamine biosynthesis pathway genes, which has a pleiotropic effect on both body pigmentation and behavior, as genes potentially involved in reproductive isolation triggered by environmental adaptation. We found unexpectedly complex cis-regulatory polymorphisms in these genes and a genetic variant that is likely to change both pigmentation and behavior.
    From a wider viewpoint of the “Correlative gene systems”, another contribution of this study was to elucidate various associations between cis/trans-regulatory variations and genomic factors by conducting a novel type of genome-wide transcriptome analysis.

    OSADA Naoki
    Understanding the interaction between two different genomes is important issue in evolutionary biology research, especially when the two genomes were incorporated into the same organisms. I analyzed the genomic and expression properties of recently established natural allotetraploid plants, of which parental species are relative to the model species Arabidopsis thaliana. Using massively parallel sequencers, genome sequences of parental species and transcriptome data of allotetraploid species were studied.

    感染症などの医学研究、創薬などの薬学研究において、哺乳類実験動物、特に霊長類はヒトと遺伝的に非常に近く、重要な位置を占める.ところが、医薬学の実験にサル類の遺伝的多様性がどのような影響を及ぼすかは全くの未知数である.また、これらの実験用霊長類のなかにどれだけの種間・種内の遺伝的多様性があるのかもはっきりとはわかっていないのが現状である.これらを明らかにするため、マカク属の中でも実験用霊長類としてメジャーなアカゲザルとカニクイザルの個体より得られたDNAの多型解析を行った.その結果、1)カニクイザルの遺伝的多様性は現生人類よりも4-5倍高い値を示す、2)カニクイザルとアカゲザルでは、種がわかれた後に遺伝子交流があったかもしれない、3)薬剤代謝にかかわる遺伝子のいくつかは種間の遺伝子での分化度が非常に高い、ということが示された.
