Evolutionary genomics of inversions in Drosophila pseudoobscura: evidence for epistasis
Stephen W Schaeffer et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2003.
Abstract
Drosophila pseudoobscura harbors a rich polymorphism for paracentric inversions on the third chromosome, and the clines in the inversion frequencies across the southwestern United States indicate that strong natural selection operates on them. Isogenic inversion strains were made from isofemale lines collected from four localities, and eight molecular markers were mapped on the third chromosome. Nucleotide diversity was measured for these loci and formed the basis of an evolutionary genomic analysis. The loci were differentiated among inversions. The inversions did not show significant differences among populations, however, likely the result of extensive gene flow among populations. Some loci had significant reductions in nucleotide diversity within inversions compared with interspecies divergence, suggesting that these loci are near inversion breakpoints or are near targets of directional selection. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) levels tended to decrease with distance between loci, indicating that some genetic exchange occurs among gene arrangements despite the presence of inversions. In some cases, however, adjacent genes had low levels of interlocus LD and loosely linked genes had high levels of interlocus LD, suggesting strong epistatic selection. Our results support the hypothesis that the inversions of D. pseudoobscura have emerged as suppressors of recombination to maintain positive epistatic relationships among loci within gene arrangements that developed as the species adapted to a heterogeneous environment.
Figures
Fig. 1.
Cytogenetic phylogeny of the paracentric inversions of D. pseudoobscura (2). The numbered cytogenetic subdivisions and the position of the eight gene regions are shown for the standard chromosome. The seven gene arrangements shown on the phylogeny are related to adjacent ones by single paracentric inversion events. The rearranged segment is shown in the ancestral (brackets) and derived (boxes) gene arrangement. The Tree Line (TL) chromosome is assumed to be the ancestral gene arrangement (18), and the arrows on the phylogeny point from the ancestral to the derived chromosome.
Fig. 2.
Significant LD among pairs of segregating sites in eight gene regions from the third chromosome of D. pseudoobscura with a sequential Bonferroni correction (39). The heavy lines delineate intra- and interlocus comparisons. Comparisons of each site with the five gene arrangements are shown at the bottom.
