项目摘要
ABSTRACT
There are fundamental gaps in our understanding of how genome-wide functional genetic
variation in host-parasite interactions is shaped by natural selection, including for humans.
Parasitic helminths (including nematodes) present important selective agents on host traits and
underlying genetic variation. Geographic clines in infection pressure, as helminths are ectothermic
(temperature-sensitive), may drive genomic and phenotypic variation across host populations.
This, in turn, may influence parasite adaptation. However, mechanistically linking agents of
selection with targeted traits and their underlying genetic architecture in hosts and parasites
remains formidably challenging. Only when resolved, will we understand how selection drives
evolution of host resistance and immune system suppression and evasion by parasites. The
investigator’s long-term goal is to gain mechanistic understanding, including of the genetic
architecture of key host and parasite traits. The laboratory’s five-year objective is to identify these
key traits, investigate their genetic basis, and functionally verify genetic variants regulating them.
The core hypothesis is that coevolving hosts and parasites exert selection, pressuring one
another to adapt through genetic and phenotypic changes. The rationale is that populations of
plants and their nematode parasites, as genetically tractable model systems, show spatial and
temporal variation in infection rates, which has a genetic basis, allowing comprehensive
mechanistic studies of this issue. Working off the investigator’s prior research and robust
preliminary data, this hypothesis will be tested through: 1) identifying genome-wide changes
underlying geographic variation in plant resistance to nematode parasitism, and 2) determining
genetic mechanisms and constraints underlying host resistance-breaking in nematodes. An
evolutionary systems biology approach will identify genes, genetic networks and genomic variants
underlying adaptive traits. This will be combined with parasite resurrection ecology and
experimental evolution to study real-time evolutionary change. The investigator showed
previously that such approaches will successfully identify key traits and genes involved in species
interactions. Molecular genetic experiments will link candidate adaptive genetic variants with
functional traits and fitness. This innovative research program will form a key step toward
integrative comprehension of how host-parasite interactions are shaped by selection on
phenotypic and genome-wide genetic variation. It holds promise for uncovering general principles
relating to how host-parasite interactions evolve, helping predict sustainability of human
interventions in shaping such interactions towards better outcomes for humans.
抽象的
我们对全基因组功能遗传的理解存在根本性差距
宿主与寄生虫相互作用的变化是由自然选择决定的,包括人类。
寄生蠕虫(包括线虫)对宿主性状和
潜在的遗传变异。感染压力的地理分布,因为蠕虫是变温的
(温度敏感),可能会驱动宿主群体的基因组和表型变异。
反过来,这可能会影响寄生虫的适应。然而,机械连接剂
宿主和寄生虫中具有目标性状及其潜在遗传结构的选择
仍然具有巨大的挑战性。只有解决了这个问题,我们才能理解选择是如何驱动的
宿主抵抗力的进化以及寄生虫对免疫系统的抑制和逃避。这
研究人员的长期目标是获得机制理解,包括遗传机制的理解
关键宿主和寄生虫特征的结构。该实验室的五年目标是确定这些
关键特征,研究其遗传基础,并在功能上验证调节它们的遗传变异。
核心假设是,共同进化的宿主和寄生虫发挥选择作用,对其中一方施加压力
另一种是通过遗传和表型变化来适应。理由是人口
植物及其线虫寄生虫作为遗传上易于处理的模型系统,显示出空间和
感染率的时间变化具有遗传基础,因此可以进行全面的
这个问题的机理研究。研究研究者之前的研究和稳健的研究
初步数据,该假设将通过以下方式进行检验:1)识别全基因组变化
植物对线虫寄生的抗性的潜在地理差异,以及 2) 确定
线虫宿主抗性破坏的遗传机制和限制。一个
进化系统生物学方法将识别基因、遗传网络和基因组变异
潜在的适应性特征。这将与寄生虫复活生态相结合
实验进化研究实时进化变化。调查人员表明
此前,此类方法将成功识别物种中涉及的关键特征和基因
互动。分子遗传学实验将候选适应性遗传变异与
功能特征和健身。这项创新研究计划将迈出关键一步
综合理解宿主与寄生虫之间的相互作用是如何通过选择而形成的
表型和全基因组遗传变异。它有望揭示一般原则
与宿主-寄生虫相互作用如何演变有关,有助于预测人类的可持续性
塑造这种互动的干预措施,为人类带来更好的结果。
