Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
This ISP proposal aims to develop bioinformatics tools to handle and process big genomics datasets. DNA sequencing has become an enabling technology at the heart of a revolution in life sciences. The objectives in this proposal focused on providing in the next 5 years the tools required to realise the value of big data bioinformatics. The mission of TGAC is to establish a centre of scientific excellence specialising in genomics technology, high throughput data generation and bioinformatics to work along side the UK scientific community around the BBSRC strategic research priorities for 2010-2015: food security, bioenergy and biology underpinning health. The implementation of this ISP will set up the foundations to fully develop the incipient bioinformatics groups at TGAC into a World-class research centre. The objectives for this proposal are organised in three themes: the processing of raw data into genomic information, the translation of this information into biological knowledge, and the development of an infrastructure to sustain these activities. The demands in terms of volume and data types are varied and require different skills sets and emphasis. The first objectives focus on the processing of large datasets with two concrete examples of application in genomics that are relevant to the BBSRC research community. The development of efficient assembly algorithms for large eukaryote genomes from short reads is still a topic of intensive research. In fact the product obtained from the high-throughout sequencing technologies although much cheaper is of lower quality than the assemblies generated by the previous technologies. This is a challenge that will particularly affect the development of genomics research for plant with complex and large genomes characterised by other features such as polyploidy and nested repeat structures that complicate the assembly process.

| Description | We have developed and implemented enhanced protocols for sequencing in a cost-effective way. We have developed ability to generate sequence assemblies with increased contiguity and correct representation on heterozygous assemblies of complex crop species and pathogens. We have developed a data management and federation platform to enable researchers to gain easier access to large wheat datasets and analytical pathways capable of dealing with them. We deployed improved data tracking and analysis systems though platforms such as Cyverse UK, Galaxy and COPO. We have developed methods to identify variants in several species with complex genomes with a focus on induced variation (exome captures for bread wheat, barley and brassica) and diversity sets (e.g. rice, barley, ash tree and willow). we have developed tools for assembling and representing variation in viral metagenomics and to identify microbial and eucaryotic species using new sequencing technologies. Finally we have developed We have developed laboratory protocols and annotation approaches to improve the coding and non-coding annotation of complex crop species. |
| Exploitation Route | The new methods and novel strategies developed for the application of high throughput sequencing technologies to plant, and animal health deliver have had direct impact on the the academic and industrial communities centered around the three BBSRC scientific priorities: food security, bioenegry and biology underpinning health. We have facilitated the access to complex crop genomes such as the wheat sequence and we have provided convenient and user-friendly tools to access the genomic features will have a direct impact on the way research is conducted on cereals and other food crops. We have generated and made accessible a wealth of information that breeders can use to rapidly select for varieties with favourable traits, and also for plant scientists to conduct basic research on crops. We have established long lasting partnerships with the UK and international scientific community, successfully implementing our developed strategies through collaborations and by providing training in emerging technologies and bioinformatics and access to data analysis platforms. |

| Description | By improving the performance and capacity of assembly algorithms we have facilitated the access to complex crop genomes such as the wheat sequence by breeders, agri-tech industries and producers. Through the work in the work within the existing NC in Genomics we have established processes to address global food security concerns through responding to plant pathogen outbreaks worldwide e.g. ash dieback, yellow rust, wheat blast. |

| Title | Recombination landscape of hexaploid bread wheat |
| Description | Sequence exchange between homologous chromosomes through crossing over and gene conversion is highly conserved among eukaryotes, contributing to genome stability and genetic diversity. Lack of recombination limits breeding efforts in crops, therefore increasing recombination rates can reduce linkage-drag and generate new genetic combinations. We use computational analysis of open access data from 13 recombinant inbred mapping populations to assess crossover and gene conversion frequency in the hexaploid genome of wheat (Triticum aestivum). We find that high frequency crossover sites are shared between populations and that closely related parental founders lead to populations with more similar crossover patterns. We have identified QTL for altered gene conversion and crossover frequency and confirm functionality for a novel candidate RecQ helicase gene that belongs to an ancient clade that is missing in some plant lineages. Harnessing the RecQ helicase has the potential to break linkage-drag utilizing widespread gene conversions conserved across recombination sparse centromeric regions. |

| Title | Supporting data for "Aequatus: An open-source homology browser" |
| Description | Phylogenetic information inferred from the study of homologous genes helps us to understand the evolution of genes and gene families, including the identification of ancestral gene duplication events as well as regions under positive or purifying selection within lineages. Gene family and orthogroup characterisation enables the identification of syntenic blocks, which can then be visualised with various tools. Unfortunately, currently available tools display only an overview of syntenic regions as a whole, limited to the gene level, and none provide further details about structural changes within genes, such as the conservation of ancestral exon boundaries amongst multiple genomes.
We present Aequatus, a standalone web-based tool that provides an indepth view of gene structure across gene families, with various options to render and filter visualisations. It relies on pre-calculated alignment and gene feature information typically held in, but not limited to, the Ensembl Compara and Core databases. We also offer Aequatus.js, a reusable JavaScript module that fulfils the visualisation aspects of Aequatus, available within the Galaxy web platform as a visualisation plugin, which can be used to visualise gene trees generated by the GeneSeqToFamily workflow. Aequatus is an open-source tool freely available to download under the MIT license at https://github.com/TGAC/Aequatus. A demo server is available at http://aequatus.earlham.ac.uk/. A publicly available instance of the GeneSeqToFamily workflow to generate gene tree information and visualise it using Aequatus is available on the Galaxy EU server at https://usegalaxy.eu |

| PI Contribution | This project aims to leverage these new resources together with large gene expression data sets to reconstruct regulatory networks controlling important traits. With outputs feeding directly into UK and International wheat research and UK wheat breeding programmes. The collaboration focuses around two large data sets: the first, a high resolution time series data set for wheat and the second, a developmental time course for 16 international elite cultivars. The project aims to: 1. Develop normalisation methods for the transcriptome data sets (RNA-seq data), specific for dealing with the complexities of time course data and a complex polyploid genome. Benchmark these new approaches against existing tools. 2. Develop AI pattern matching algorithms to identify gene-expression modules and correlate these with biological processes. Use pattern matching algorithms to interrogate the high resolution data sets and to identify differences between regulatory networks in elite cultivars 3. Correlate changes in temporal or developmental expression patterns with changes in promoter architecture 4. Use network inference, co-expression and gene modules to reconstruct regulatory networks. Identify how network structure changes over time and between cultivars. This project will have impact for scientists as it will address fundamental questions about temporal regulation of processes in wheat and how a complex networks work across multiple genomes within a polyploid. By comparing networks across elite cultivars it will also have an impact for UK and international wheat breeders, identification of how breeding programmes have changed the architure of regulatory networks. This will have important impact for the selection of future networks for breeders to target or for assessing the selection of breeding material. It will allow breeders to make full use of the new resources and technologies. To ensure the impact to the UK industry is realised we aim to present this work a UK networking meeting and to visit and involve three private UK breeding companies RAGT, KWS and Elsoms seeds in early output from the project. |

| PI Contribution | The COST action brings together experts in all rabbit research areas and in other complementary research fields (breeders, geneticists, bioinformaticians, physiologists, evolutionists, embryologists, immunologists, industry experts, etc.) in order to facilitate the transition of rabbit genomic information from experimental data into usable benefits and applications by means of networking expertise. Federica Di Palma contributes towards one of four Working Groups. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The four working groups focus on i) the refinement of the European rabbit genome resource and the development of genome-based platforms, ii) genetic aspects in meat, fur and pet rabbits and biodiversity resources, iii) the rabbit as a model in basic biology and human diseases and as a tool for biotechnology applications and iv) genetic and comparative genomic aspects for the study, exploitation and management of wild lagomorphs. The outcome is a coordination of rabbit research activities and a transfer of knowledge which will produce a strong European added value across a broad spectrum of biology research fields |

| PI Contribution | The Grassroots infrastructure (https://grassroots.tools) developed at EI is being used to consolidate data and analyses, facilitating consistent approaches to generating, processing and disseminating public wheat datasets. The Grassroots infrastructure comprises: a data management layer to provide structure to unstructured filesystems; interfaces to interact with local or cloud-based analysis platforms; a search layer to provide multi-faceted metadata and literature querying; a web server layer to deliver content and provide access to public programmatic interfaces. EI has an extensive National Capability to provide scientific computing hardware to the UK research community and is therefore perfectly positioned to build a point-of-access to previously disparate resources to serve wheat breeders, biologists and bioinformaticians. Coupling the Grassroots project with BBSRC-funded efforts to bring Galaxy and CyVerse UK to UK researchers provides community standardised methodologies for data integration, interpretation and discovery in wheat. These resources are designed to be queried programmatically, and we are integrating them with other WheatIS resources (such as CerealsDB) accordingly via open source and freely available infrastructure. By doing so we will be promoting and facilitating an inclusive and collaborative community of experts to provide access to an interconnected network of wheat data to a scale that was simply not available previously. EI also has representation on the WheatIS Expert Working Group, meeting yearly at PAG to discuss strategy and policy for the Wheat Initiative. |

| Title | Aequatus |
| Description | Aequatus Browser is an open-source web-based tool developed at EI to visualise homologous gene structures among differing species or subtypes of a common species. Aequatus uses the Ensembl Compara and Core database schemas to store comparative information between organisms. Aequatus uses precalculated gene family information and genomic alignments data in the form of CIGAR strings, from Ensembl Compara or the GeneSeqToFamily pipeline, and cross-references these sequences to Ensembl Core databases for each species to gather genomic feature information via stable_ids. Aequatus then processes the comparative and feature data to provide a visual representation of the phylogenetic and structural relationships among the set of chosen species. The ultimate goal of the Aequatus Browser is to provide a unique and informative way to render and explore complex relationships between genes from various species at a level that has so far been unrealised. |

| Description | COPO streamlines the process of data deposition to public repositories by hiding much of the complexity of metadata capture and data management from the end-user. The ISA infrastructure (www.isa-tools.org) is leveraged to provide the interoperability between metadata formats required for seamless deposition to repositories. COPO facilitates the links to data analysis platforms such as CyVerse UK and Galaxy. Logical groupings of artefacts (e.g. PDFs, raw data, contextual supplementary information) relating to a body of work are stored in COPO collections and represented by common standards, which are publicly searchable. Bundles of multiple data objects themselves can then be deposited directly into public repositories through COPO interfaces. This improvement output represents the beta release of the COPO platform in 2017. |

| Impact | COPO has been added to the ELIXIR-UK roadmap for ELIXIR core data services, and is currently being used by EI and JIC researchers to deposit real, large scale sequencing datasets into the European Nucleotide Archive. COPO is also being investigated as a potential data entry tool for the CGIAR Big Data project, and this will be explored in a joint EAGER submission with CIMMYT. COPO has also been selected to act as one of the data ingestion pipelines for data arising from the Designing Future Wheat programme, depositing open data into the Grassroots repository. COPO is also being included in grant submissions to assist vertebrate and wheat communities in effective metadata management. COPO runs within the CyVerse UK National Capability infrastructure. |

| Title | CyVerse UK software stack deployment |
| Description | The CyVerse (formerly iPlant) UK project at EI provides hardware resources in an easy to use manner through a web interface called the Discovery Environment (DE), as well as developer and bioinformatician access through APIs and software. A series of commands, called a pipeline, is combined into a script and / or a virtualised operating system container image called Docker. The pipeline can run on any hardware available to the implementer, which in this case will be the extensive HTCondor cluster set up at EI. Once a pipeline is running correctly on through the raw scheduler, the app can be registered on the Agave API (http://www.agaveapi.co). This is enabled through constructing JSON files that specify input sources together with user-supplied and default parameters that are necessary for the pipeline to run. Once a pipeline is registered through Agave, it is available as a GUI "app" through the DE, and can be made public after testing. |
| Type Of Technology | Grid Application |
| Year Produced | 2016 |
| Impact | The EI CyVerse hardware enables the bioinformatics pipelines developed by the project partners (Univ's. Liverpool, Nottingham, Warwick) to be run on this HPC environment. Once deployed in the CyVerse UK environment, these tools can then be made available globally through the CyVerse Discovery Environment, reaching upwards of 18000 potential users. We have released this infrastructure and are accepting users from the UK research community to start using the hardware. |

| Title | GeneSeqToFamily |
| Description | GeneSeqToFamily represents the Ensembl Compara pipeline as a set of interconnected Galaxy tools, so they can be run interactively within the Galaxy's user-friendly workflow environment while still providing the flexibility to tailor the analysis by changing configurations and tools if necessary. Additional tools allow users to subsequently visualise the gene families produced by the workflow, using the Aequatus.js interactive tool, which has been developed as part of the Aequatus software project. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2017 |
| Open Source License? | Yes |
| Impact | This new workflow has been used for a number of research projects at the Earlham Institute, including the investigation of gene families for the koala genome, in collaboration with Kathy Belov, Wilfried Haerty, Will Nash and Federica di Palma. The workflow was published as a preprint on bioRxiv in 2017 and subsequently accepted into the GigaScience journal in 2018. |
| Title | Grassroots API |
| Description | The Grassroots Infrastructure project aims to create an easily-deployable suite of computing middleware tools to help users and developers gain access to scientific data infrastructure that can easily be interconnected. With the data-generative approaches that are increasingly common in modern life science research, it is vital that the data and metadata produced by these efforts can be shared and reused. The Grassroots Infrastructure project wraps up industry-standard software tools with a consistent API that can be federated on a number of levels. This means institutions and groups can deploy a simple lightweight virtual machine, expose local data, connect up any existing data services, and federate their instance of the Grassroots with others out-of-the-box. |

| Impact | The Grassroots API powers the public BLAST service that runs at TGAC, predominantly for the currently available wheat assemblies including the recently released TGAC v1 w2rap assembly (in preparation). We have served over 4000 unique users with over 6000 BLAST jobs since November 2015. It also underpins the Field Pathgenomics project (BBSRC IPA award 2015, PI - Saunders D., TGAC/JIC fellow), a web portal that represents the detection and subsequent phenotyping and genotyping of the wheat yellow rust pathogen. The site aims to enable researchers and breeders to track rust epidemics over variety and time, allowing for a more proactive approach to wheat crop breeding and farming. Finally, we are working with the CerealsDB group at Univ. Bristol to deploy the Grassroots infrastructure alongside the CerealsDB web portal, allowing a federation of searching, datasets, analysis and dissemination of markers, genotypes and associated feature and literature information. |

| Title | KAT - Kmer Analysis Toolkit |
| Description | KAT is a tool to perform kmer-spectra analyses. Arguably the most widely used feature is the comparison of the kmer spectra of a short-read dataset and a genome assembly for the same individual (often created from this same dataset). It highlights deviations and biases in sample-reconstruction, providing means for QC. Among the crucial information easily accessible is whether all of the sequenced content is included in the assembly and if there are compressed or expanded regions: these are metrics directly related to the usability of the assembly for biological research. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2013 |
| Open Source License? | Yes |
| Impact | The insight from KAT spectra comparisons is widely appreciated within the genome assembly community and underpins a great deal of work in genome assembly at EI. |

| Title | MISO: An open-source LIMS for NGS sequencing centres |
| Description | MISO (Managing Information for Sequencing Operations) is an open-source Lab Information Management System (LIMS) started at the Earlham Institute, specifically designed for tracking next-generation sequencing experiments. Sequencing centres differ not only in terms of their scale and output, but also their requirements for information management. Sequencing platforms are becoming more accessible, and the efficient storage of genomic metadata is vital for large and small sequencing centres alike. Off-the-shelf solutions are often very expensive and not cost-effective for the smaller centre. Furthermore, support contracts are often required, and the extensibility of these systems is not in the hands of the metadata generators. In terms of implementation, as well as the desire to tailor an information system in-house, data formats can change and platforms can evolve rapidly. These are valid concerns for both large centres characterised by high-throughout data production and smaller scale laboratories with constrained expenditure for IT solutions, and potentially project specific metadata requirements. Hence, we are developing MISO, an open-source LIMS for recording sequencing metadata. We are using freely available tools that are industry standard, well documented, and easy to set up on minimal hardware. As a bare system, MISO can store relevant metadata based on a wide array of NGS sequencing platforms (e.g. Illumina GA, HiSeq and MiSeq, Roche 454, ABI SOLiD and PacBio RS) and public repository data submission schemas (e.g. the Sequence Read Archive at the EBI), and has many features common to bespoke and proprietary LIMS, such as secure authentication, fine-grained access control, barcode tracking, and reporting. |
| Type Of Technology | Webtool/Application |
| Year Produced | 2018 |
| Open Source License? | Yes |
| Impact | A number of new MISO releases have been made available this year, the latest being 0.2.109. The project has seen over 140 releases in its 7 year existence, and the project is 100% open source, allowing sequencing centres to have the option of a completely free solution for managing their instruments and sample tracking. |

| Title | Nextclip |
| Description | NextClip is a tool for comprehensive quality analysis and read preparation for Nextera long mate pair (LMP) libraries. NextClip comprises two parts. The core component is the NextClip command line tool, an efficient C program for processing mate pair FASTQ files, generating summary statistics and preparing reads for use in scaffolding. A second component, the NextClip pipeline, is designed for cases where there is a reference of partially assembly. It utilises NextClip, along with BWA, to generate a more detailed PDF report that includes analysis of library insert sizes. The tool was originally described in a publication in Bioinformatics (2014), but has since been updated, e.g. the addition of an option for deduplicating reads from any library type. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2014 |

Over two workshops, attended by young people aged 12-18 (along with some parents), participants were given an introduction to the potential of modern genome sequencing and how we can use the wealth of information gleaned from it in order to better understand, and improve our food. The attendees were enthused and inspired about the topic of food security and how modern techniques mean that DNA sequencing can be performed cheaper and faster than ever before.

| Results and Impact | Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and the subsequent reduction in cost have enabled the research community to sequence the genomes of many non-model organisms. Genome assemblies using next generation technologies such as Illumina show high quality nucleotide level information, but are fragmented due to the inability to retain contiguity. The absence of low-cost methods for creating high quality genome sequences from a wide range of organisms currently hampers the generation of de novo genomes for comparative genomic studies, and new methodologies and data types need to be tested to achieve this goal. We have integrated NGS with nano-channel genome mapping and developed the PCR-free Discovar Assembly BioNano Scaffolding (PDABS) pipeline to assemble cheap, contiguous and robust genomes. |

| Results and Impact | The domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) models biological processes that are highly relevant to human disease and health research such as influenza, cystic fibrosis and asthma. The recently completed draft of the ferret genome and associated annotation project (Peng et al 2014) allows us to extend research and examine the domestication of the ferret. Most domestic animals were domesticated ~10,000 years ago, but the history of the ferret's domestication is uncertain. It is likely that ferrets have been domesticated for at least 2,000 years, a similar time to the domestication of the rabbit, of which the ferret was domesticated to hunt. We have sequenced the genomes of a further eight domestic ferrets along with 12 European Polecats (M. putorius), 2 Steppe Polecats (M. eversmanii) and 4 Black-footed Ferrets (M. nigripes). In order to examine the genetics underpinning ferret domestication and compare the genomes of domestic and wild ancestor, we first need to identify the ancestral species of the domestic ferret, the identification of which is not fully resolved. |

| Geographic Reach | International |
| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| Results and Impact | The ferret (Mustela putorius furo) models biological processes that are highly relevant to human disease and health research such as influenza, cystic fibrosis (CF) and asthma. Since CF is a multi-organ disorder, research using CF ferrets span a range of organs, thus the impact of research in this model is broad and allows for the analysis of early stages of the diseases. The recently completed draft of the ferret genome has allowed us to look more closely into ferret domestication and examine the underpinning processes of domestication from the ancestral European Polecat (M. putorius). We have sequenced eight domestic ferrets genomes and will sequence samples from European Polecat. Beneficial genetic variants increase in frequency due to positive selection together with linked neutral variants resulting in genomic islands of reduced heterozygosity between populations. By examining fixation indexes and heterozygosity between wild and domestic ferrets we can find genomic regions that have undergone selective sweeps. Using whole genome sequencing also allows us to leverage the ferret genome sequence to look into the genetic diversity and evolution of other species of wild Mustelidae. The current population of the endangered Black-footed Ferret (M. nigripes) from North America stems from only seven individuals. Using whole genome sequencing of Black-footed Ferrets from both before and after the population crash we will identify genetic diversity not present in the current population with a view to reintroducing it via genome editing technology. About two million years ago, the ancestral species of modern day Steppe Polecats (M. eversmanni) from Asia entered North America via the Bering Land Bridge and speciated into what is now Black-footed Ferret. Using a reference-free unbiased kmer approach, we will examine how closely-related Steppe Polecat is to both Black-footed Ferret and its sister species the European Polecat. |

The preparation of a suitably high quality great auk genome sequence, 2. The necessity for an annotated sequence/structural information, 3. Comparisons with razorbill genome, 4. Genome editing techniques, 5. Germ cell transfer techniques, 6. (Much later) great auk release into the wild, 7. Ethical and ecological considerations. Proposed structure of the project: In order to maintain this project's independence, and because it is probably too speculative and risky for public funding, it is the intention that the project will be carried forward initially with private funding. If, following the June meeting, we decide to go ahead, then a charitable foundation may be established to run the project. |

| Results and Impact | Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and the subsequent reduction in cost have enabled the research community to sequence the genomes of many non-model organisms. Genome assemblies using next generation technologies such as Illumina show high quality nucleotide level information, but are fragmented due to the inability to retain contiguity. The absence of low-cost methods for creating high quality genome sequences from a wide range of organisms currently hampers the generation of de novo genomes for comparative genomic studies, and new methodologies and data types need to be tested to achieve this goal. We have integrated NGS with nano-channel genome mapping and developed the PCR-free Discovar Assembly BioNano Scaffolding (PDABS) pipeline to assemble cheap, contiguous and robust genomes. |

The more we delve into the treasure trove of genetic information present in diverse genomes, from humans and worms to Arabidopsis and wheat, the more we have come to appreciate the bounty of non-coding elements that lie within. Among the buried treasure - that composes just a small percentage of a genome - lie long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA), some of which, far from being junk, can provide insights into important regulatory mechanisms across all domains of life.

| Results and Impact | A recent breakthrough in identifying resistance to an important global disease of potatoes has opened the door for rapid improvement of crops to prevent losses, published in Nature Biotechnology. Potato late blight (Phytophthora infestans) is a severe threat to the production of potatoes and tomatoes worldwide, and the cause of the Irish Famine - one of the worst in human history. Potatoes are one of the most widely grown crops, thus finding ways to combat this disease is of paramount importance for world food production. Scientists from the Earlham Institute (EI) and The Sainsbury Laboratory (TSL) have developed a faster and more efficient system of identifying and cloning resistance (R) genes from wild potato species to P. infestans. Using a combination of next generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics techniques, this will pave the way for more effective crop improvement to withstand this global threat to agriculture.

| Results and Impact | The Wheat Data Interoperability Working Group aims to provide a common framework for describing, representing linking and publishing Wheat data with respect to open standards.Such a framework will promote and sustain Wheat data sharing, reusability and operability. Specifying the Wheat linked data framework will come with many questions: which (minimal) metadata to describe which type of data? Which vocabularies/ontologies/formats? Which good practices? Mainly based on the the needs of the Wheat initiatiative Information System (WheatIS) in terms of functionalities and data types, the working group will identify relevant use cases in order to produce a "cookbook" on how to produce "wheat data" that are easily shareable, reusable and interoperable. This meeting saw the maturation of the Working Group into a Maintenance Group, showing that we have moved from an inception phase to an implementation phase, promoting the outputs of the WG (the Wheat Data Interoperability guidelines) to users. |

| Results and Impact | Federica Di Palma gave a talk on "Evolution of tissue-specific regulatory programs in cichlids". In vertebrates, the East African cichlid radiations represent arguably the most dramatic examples of adaptive speciation. In the great lakes Victoria, Malawi and Tanganyika and within the last few million years, one or a few ancestral lineages of haplochromine cichlid fish have given rise to over 1500 species exhibiting an unprecedented diversity of morphological and ecological adaptations. Such explosive phenotypic diversification of East African cichlids is unparalleled among vertebrates and the low protein divergence between species implies the rapid evolution of regulatory regions and networks underlying the traits under selection. Comparative functional genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics are powerful tools to study the evolution of tissue and species divergence. We recently developed Arboretum, an algorithm to identify modules of co-expressed genes across multiple species in a phylogeny. By integrating inferred modules with nucleotide variation, predicted cis regulatory elements and miRNA profiles from five East African Cichlids, we investigated the evolution of tissue-specific gene regulation. Our analyses identified modules with tissue-specific patterns for which we reconstructed the evolutionary gene regulatory networks across the five cichlids species. We report striking cases of rapid network rewiring for genes known to be involved in traits under natural and/or sexual selection such as the visual systems, and more specifically a cone opsin (sws2a) responsible for colour vison of selected cichlid fishes. Furthermore, in-depth analyses of regulons (transcription factor - target interactions, e.g. Egr3) show similar rapid species-specific rewiring. Investigation of these novel interactions in Astatotilapia burtoni, a model species for behaviour evolution, reveal significant enrichment for genes involved in neuronal and brain function. Our unique integrative approach that interrogates the evolution of regulatory networks allowed us to identify the rapid regulatory changes associated with certain traits under selection in cichlids. |

| Results and Impact | TGAC (EI) opened its doors to female students, who were shown just what is possible for women in science. The girls were from the local area, which is relatively disadvantaged, but they were part of a high school IT club so were slightly interested in computers. We showed them the data centre and the lab, and did specific activities with them involving some of our female members of staff. Importantly, the girls fed back to us that they would really consider a career in tech, and we gained some good publicity for the event in local and national media channels. |
