Genome-wide mapping in a house mouse hybrid zone reveals hybrid sterility loci and Dobzhansky-Muller interactions

Leslie M Turner et al. Elife..

Abstract

Mapping hybrid defects in contact zones between incipient species can identify genomic regions contributing to reproductive isolation and reveal genetic mechanisms of speciation. The house mouse features a rare combination of sophisticated genetic tools and natural hybrid zones between subspecies. Male hybrids often show reduced fertility, a common reproductive barrier between incipient species. Laboratory crosses have identified sterility loci, but each encompasses hundreds of genes. We map genetic determinants of testis weight and testis gene expression using offspring of mice captured in a hybrid zone between M. musculus musculus and M. m. domesticus. Many generations of admixture enables high-resolution mapping of loci contributing to these sterility-related phenotypes. We identify complex interactions among sterility loci, suggesting multiple, non-independent genetic incompatibilities contribute to barriers to gene flow in the hybrid zone.

Keywords: evolutionary biology; genomics; hybrid incompatibilities; hybrid zone; mouse; reproductive isolation; speciation.

Figure 2.. Significant GWAS regions and interactions in hybrid zone mice.
Results for (A) relative testis weight and (B) testis expression principal component 1 in hybrid zone mice. In (A) orange and yellow boxes in outer rings (outside grey line) indicate quantitative trait loci (QTL) identified for testis weight and other sterility phenotypes in previous studies (see Table 1 for details). Green boxes indicate significant GWAS regions for relative testis weight. Green lines represent significant genetic interactions between regions; shade and line weight indicate the number of significant pairwise interactions between SNPs for each region pair. In (B) orange boxes in outer rings indicate QTL for testis-related phenotypes (testis weight and seminiferous tubule area) identified in previous studies, yellow boxes indicate QTL for other sterility phenotypes and red boxes indicatetrans eQTL hotspots (see Table 2 for details). Green boxes indicate significant GWAS regions for relative testis weight. Purple boxes indicate significant GWAS regions for testis expression PC1. Lines represent significant genetic interactions between regions; color and line weight—as specified in legend—indicate the number of significant pairwise interactions between SNPs for each region pair.

Green boxes indicate significant GWAS regions for relative testis weight. Purple boxes indicate significant GWAS regions for testis expression PC1. Lines represent significant genetic interactions identified in hybrid zone mice for relative testis weight (in green) and expression PC1 (in purple), which are concordant with genetic interactions identified by mapping expression traits in F2 hybrids (Turner et al., 2014).

Figure 4.. Mapping power in simulations.
Each panel illustrates results from a single genetic architecture model for (A) 100 autosomal–autosomal SNP pairs and (B) 100 X—autosomal SNP pairs. Each point represents the percentage of data sets generated from a single SNP pair in which locus 1 (domesticus sterile allele; green), locus 2 (musculus sterile allele; purple), or both loci (orange) were identified by association mapping (≥1 SNP significant by permutation based threshold within 10 Mb of ‘causal’ SNP). The x axis indicates the percentage of individuals with partial or full sterility phenotypes. Curves were fit using second order polynomials. In (A), locus 1 indicates the SNPs withmusculus alleles sterile and locus 2 indicates the SNPs withdomesticus alleles sterile. In (B), locus 1 is the X-linked SNP and locus 2 is the autosomal SNP.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.02504.016
