| 1 | Evolutionary transition between invertebrates and vertebrates via methylation reprogramming in embryogenesis显示文摘Major evolutionary transitions are enigmas,and the most notable enigma is between invertebrates and vertebrates,with numerous spectacular innovations.To search for the molecular connections involved,we asked whether global epigenetic changes may offer a clue by surveying the inheritance and reprogramming of parental DNA methylation across metazoans.We focused on gametes and early embryos,where the methylomes are known to evolve divergently between fish and mammals.Here,we find that methylome reprogramming during embryogenesis occurs neither in pre-bilaterians such as cnidarians nor in protostomes such as insects,but clearly presents in deuterostomes such as echinoderms and invertebrate chordates,and then becomes more evident in vertebrates.Functional association analysis suggests that DNA methylation reprogramming is associated with development,reproduction and adaptive immunity for vertebrates,but not for invertebrates.Interestingly,the single HOX cluster of invertebrates maintains unmethylated status in all stages examined.In contrast,the multiple HOX clusters show dramatic dynamics of DNA methylation during vertebrate embryogenesis.Notably,the methylation dynamics of HOX clusters are associated with their spatiotemporal expression in mammals.Our study reveals that DNA methylation reprogramming has evolved dramatically during animal evolution,especially after the evolutionary transitions from invertebrates to vertebrates,and then to mammals. | Xiaocui Xu Guoqiang Li Congru Li Jing Zhang Qiang Wang David KSimmons Xuepeng Chen Naveen Wijesena Wei Zhu Zhanyang Wang Zhenhua Wang Bao Ju Weimin Ci Xuemei Lu Daqi Yu Qian-fei Wang Neelakanteswar Aluru Paola Oliveri Yong EZhang Mark QMartindale Jiang Liu | 2019 | National Science Review2019，6，5： | 2 |
| 2 | Integrative analyses of RNA editing,alternative splicing,and expression of young genes in human brain transcriptome by deep RNA sequencing显示文摘Next-generation RNA sequencing has been successfully used for identification of transcript assembly,evaluation of gene expression levels,and detection of post-transcriptional modifications.Despite these large-scale studies,additional comprehensive RNA-seq data from different subregions of the human brain are required to fully evaluate the evolutionary patterns experienced by the human brain transcriptome.Here,we provide a total of 6.5 billion RNA-seq reads fromdifferent subregions of the human brain.A significant correlation was observed between the levels of alternative splicing and RNA editing,which might be explained by a competition between the molecularmachineries responsible for the splicing and editing of RNA.Younghuman protein-coding genesdemonstrate biased expression to the neocortical and non-neocortical regions during evolution on the lineage leading to humans.Wealso found that a significantly greater number of young human protein-coding genes are expressed in the putamen,a tissue that was also observed to have the highest level of RNA-editing activity.The putamen,which previously received little attention,plays an important role in cognitive ability,and our data suggest a potential contribution of the putamen to human evolution. | Dong-Dong Wu Ling-Qun Ye Yan Li Yan-Bo Sun Yi Shao Chunyan Chen Zhu Zhu Li Zhong Lu Wang David MIrwin Yong EZhang Ya-Ping Zhang | 2015 | Journal of Molecular Cell Biology2015，7，4： | 1 |
| 3 | Natural variation of main biochemical components,morphological and yield traits among a panel of 87 tea [Camellia sinensis(L.) O. Kuntze] cultivars显示文摘Many attentions have been previously focused to identify the multiple biochemical components related to tea quality and health benefits,however, the natural variation of biochemical components present in tea germplasm has not been adequately evaluated. In this study, the main biochemical components, leaf morphological and yield characteristics were evaluated for four rounds of tea leaves in a panel of 87 elite tea cultivars suitable for black, green, or oolong tea. Significant variations were observed among the tea cultivars, as well as seasonal differences in the levels of the free amino acid(FAA), caffeine(CAF), tea polyphenols(TP), water extract(WE) and TP to FAA ratio(TP/FAA). Results showed that the average levels of FAA showed a seasonal change, with the highest level of 4.0% in the 1st spring tea in the cultivars suitable for green tea and the lowest of 3.2% in summer tea in the cultivars suitable for black tea. The average CAF content was highest 3.2% in the cultivars suitable for oolong tea in the 1st spring and the lowest 2.5% in the cultivars suitable for green tea in summer. Limited seasonal and varietal variations were noticed in the average levels of WE among the three categories of tea. In addition, significant natural variation of the morphological characteristics, bud length varying from 2.5 cm to 8.7 cm, bud density from 190.3 buds · m-2to 1 730.3 buds · m-2, mature leaves biomass from 128.4 kg · hm-2to 2 888.4 kg · hm-2, and yield component traits of 100 buds(one bud with two leaves) dry weight from 3.7 g to37.7 g, tea yield/round from 444.6 kg · hm-2to 905.3 kg · hm-2, were observed. The aim of our evaluation was not only to identify the advantages of seasonal and clonal variations but also to provide a new viewpoint for their further application. Representative accessions were selected from the germplasm to promote the establishment of an inherent biochemical constituent expressing the quality of black, green, and oolong tea. The findings might be utilized to establish early selection criteria to enhance the tea breeding and production program. | Fawad Zaman EZhang Li Xia Xielong Deng Muhammad Ilyas Ahmad Ali Fei Guo Pu Wang Mingle Wang Yu Wang Dejiang Ni Hua Zhao | 2023 | Horticultural Plant Journal2023，9，3： | 0 |
