Slide1

Convergent evolution of the genomes of marine mammals

Gregg Thomas

Indiana University

SMBE 2014

Slide2

Convergent evolution is observed at the phenotypic level

Porcupine

(

Rodentia

)

Echidna

(Monotremata)

Hedgehog

(Erinaceomorpha)

Slide3

Predictable Evolution

If phenotypic convergence can be attributed to specific molecular changes, it would suggest that evolution is to some extent predictable

We have very few examples…

Slide4

Phenotypic convergence can be attributed to molecular convergence

Lysozyme

(

Kornegay

et al, 1994)

Prestin

(Parker et al 2013, Li et al 2010, Liu et al 2010)

COCH

(Parker et al

2013)

Foregut fermenters

Echolocation

Slide5

Marine mammals provide a chance to study molecular convergence

Slide6

Convergent phenotypes of marine mammals

Hydrodynamic body structure with reduced neck length

Sensory adaptations

S

ight in low light environments

Changes in ear structure to accommodate hearing in high pressure

Changes in respiratory and cardiac patterns depending on how long and deep the animal dives

Variations in bone density based on dive depth

Insulating blubber layer

6

Slide7

Marine mammal genome sequencing

16,878 orthologous protein coding genes between the four marine mammals and

ten

other

mammals

5,900

orthologs

which

are present in all 4 marine mammals and their sister land mammals (cow, dog, elephant)

Detecting molecular convergence

Slide11

Positively selected genes are also convergent

Smpx

Inner ear formation

Separation of the auditory bulla from the skull in the inner ear

Myh7b

Cardiac muscle formation

Cardiovascular regulation during diving

Serpinc1

Blood coagulation

Low flow rate of viscous blood particularly during diving

Slide13

Molecular convergence has been demonstrated

Phenotypic convergence can be inferred on a genome wide scale at the molecular level

But another comparison can be made…

Slide14

Marine mammal convergence

Slide15

Land mammal convergence

Cow

Dolphin

Killer Whale

Dog

Walrus

Elephant

Manatee

Slide16

Expectations for molecular convergence in land mammals

Any molecular convergence observed should be due to chance

There should be less convergence than we found for marine mammals

16

Slide17

Convergent substitutions in land mammals

Alpaca

Cow

Dolphin

Killer Whale

Dog

Walrus

Elephant

Manatee

93 convergent substitutions

Slide18

Simulations suggest excess

convergence even among land mammals

93 convergent substitutions

Slide19

Land mammals have more convergence than marine mammals

Slide20

Positive selection comparable between marine and land mammals

Slide21

Genes can have more than one convergent site

= convergent substitution

21

Slide22

Genes with multiple convergent sites are more prevalent in land mammals

Slide23

What we have learned from marine mammals

Some intriguing genes linking molecular and phenotypic convergence

Surprisingly, just as much molecular convergence among land mammals

Simulations do not fully account for background convergence

Conclusions

Phenotypic convergence can be attributed to molecular convergence, but this is rare

Simulations do not provide an adequate null model for convergence

Our results suggest that evolution is not easily predictable
