身為一個熱愛美食、喜歡在城市裡挖掘驚喜的人，臺中公益路一直是我最常出沒的地方之一。這條路可說是「臺中人的美食戰場」，從精緻西餐到創意火鍋，從日式丼飯到義式早午餐，每走幾步，就會有完全不同的特色料理餐廳。

Even under the most optimistic scenarios, most of the coral reef ecosystems on our planet — whether in Australia, the Maldives, or the Caribbean — will have disappeared or be in very bad shape by the end of this century. That’s because global warming is pushing ocean temperatures above the limit that single-cell algae, which are corals’ main allies, can withstand. These algae live inside coral tissue for protection and, in exchange, provide corals with essential nutrients produced through photosynthesis. Because the algae contain a variety of pigments and therefore give coral reefs their famous colors, if they are lost the corals turn white, which is known as coral bleaching. But in spite of the real threat caused by global warming, corals in the Red Sea look set to keep their vibrant color. “We already knew that corals in the Gulf of Aqaba, at the northern tip of the Red Sea, were particularly resistant to higher temperatures. But we wanted to study the full molecular mechanism behind this resistance,” says Romain Savary, a postdoc at EPFL’s Laboratory for Biological Geochemistry (LGB) and lead author of the study, which appears today in PNAS. What the scientists found was telling: those corals, as well as the algae and bacteria they live in symbiosis with, can withstand average temperatures some 5°C (9°F) higher than what they typically experience. And despite the severity with which climate change is taking place, it’s unlikely that Red Sea temperatures will rise more than 5°C by the end of the century. “This gives us real hope that we can save at least one major coral reef ecosystem for future generations,” says Anders Meibom, head of the LGB.

Credit: Maoz Fine Taking it in stride To conduct their study, the scientists subjected Gulf of Aqaba corals to a range of heat stresses including the higher temperatures likely to occur in the coming decades. The average maximum monthly temperature in these waters is currently around 27°C (80.6°F), so the scientists exposed coral samples to temperatures of 29.5°C (85.1°F), 32°C (89.6°F), and 34.5°C (94.1°F), over both a short time period (three hours) and a longer one (one week). The scientists measured the corals’ and symbiotic algae’s gene expression both during and after the heat stress test, and determined the composition of the microbiome residing in the corals. “The main thing we found is that these corals currently live in temperatures well below the maximum they can withstand with their molecular machinery, which means they’re naturally shielded against the temperature increases that will probably occur over the next 100 or even 200 years,” says Savary. “Our measurements showed that at temperatures of up to 32°C, the corals and their symbiotic organisms were able to molecularly recover and acclimate to both short-term and long-term heat stress without any major consequences.” This offers genuine hope to scientists — although warmer waters are not the only threat facing this exceptional natural heritage. Corals in the Gulf of Aqaba, at the northern tip of the Red Sea, are particularly resistant to higher temperatures. Credit: Romain Savary/EPFL This is the first time scientists have conducted a genetic analysis of coral samples on such a broad scale, and their findings reveal how these heat-resistant corals respond at the most fundamental level — gene expression. They can also be used as a basis for identifying ‘super corals.’ According to Meibom, “Romain’s research gives us insight into the specific genetic factors that allow corals to survive. His study also indicates that an entire symphony of genetic expression is at work to give corals this extraordinary power.” This sets a standard for what “super coral” gene expression looks like during a heat stress and a recovery. But could Red Sea corals be used to one day repopulate the Great Barrier Reef? “Corals are highly dependent on their surroundings,” says Meibom. “They can adapt to new environments only after a long, natural colonization process. What’s more, the Great Barrier Reef is the size of Italy — it would be impossible to repopulate it artificially.” Sailing towards the future The scientists’ work was made possible thanks to two unique research instruments: the Red Sea Simulator (RSS), developed by the Interuniversity Institute for Marine Sciences in Eilat, Israel; and the Coral Bleaching Automated Stress System (CBASS), developed by a team of researchers in the US. Their findings have laid the groundwork for a much more ambitious project that will be led by the Transnational Red Sea Center (TRSC), which was set up at EPFL in 2019. This new project will kick off this summer and take place over four years. “We’ll sail the entire Red Sea — some 2,000 km (1,240 mi) long — on the research vessel Fleur de Passion, owned by our partner the Fondation Pacifique,” says Meibom. “The goal will be to map the heat tolerance levels and the diversity of all the different types of corals found in these waters. Water temperatures rise as you head further south on the Red Sea, with a 5-6°C (9-10.8°F) differential between the northern and southern tips. That’s what makes it a perfect real-world laboratory for studying these ecosystems. It’s as if you’re sailing towards the future as you head south.” And what does that glimpse into the future tell us? Some corals in the southern Red Sea are already starting to bleach. Savary believes there’s just one solution: “We have to protect these corals and shield them from local stressors, which are mainly sources of pollution and physical destruction. That way we can keep a stock of ‘natural super corals’ for potentially recolonizing areas that have been hit particularly hard by climate-change-induced heat waves.” Reference: “Fast and pervasive transcriptomic resilience and acclimation of extremely heat-tolerant coral holobionts from the northern Red Sea” by Romain Savary, Daniel J.

The first entirely complete sequence of a human genome, covering every chromosome from end to end without gaps and with unparalleled accuracy, is now available. Parts of the human genome now available to study for the first time are important for understanding genetic diseases, human diversity, and evolution. The first truly complete sequence of a human genome, covering each chromosome from end to end with no gaps and unprecedented accuracy, is now accessible through the UCSC Genome Browser and is described in six papers published today (March 31, 2022) in Science. Since the first working draft of a human genome sequence was assembled at UC Santa Cruz in 2000, genomics research has led to enormous advances in our understanding of human biology and disease. Nevertheless, crucial regions accounting for some 8% of the human genome have remained hidden from scientists for over 20 years due to the limitations of DNA sequencing technologies. Karen Miga, assistant professor of biomolecular engineering at UC Santa Cruz, and Adam Phillippy at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) organized an international team of scientists—the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium—to fill in the missing pieces. Their efforts have now paid off. The new reference genome, called T2T-CHM13, adds nearly 200 million base pairs of novel DNA sequences, including 99 genes likely to code for proteins and nearly 2,000 candidate genes that need further study. It also corrects thousands of structural errors in the current reference sequence. The gaps now filled by the new sequence include the entire short arms of five human chromosomes and cover some of the most complex regions of the genome. These include highly repetitive DNA sequences found in and around important chromosomal structures such as the telomeres at the ends of chromosomes and the centromeres that coordinate the separation of replicated chromosomes during cell division. The new sequence also reveals previously undetected segmental duplications, long stretches of DNA that are duplicated in the genome and are known to play important roles in evolution and disease. “These parts of the human genome that we haven’t been able to study for 20-plus years are important to our understanding of how the genome works, genetic diseases, and human diversity and evolution,” Miga said. It took almost twice as long to finish the last 8% of the human genome as it did to sequence the first 92%. New laboratory and computational technologies finally enabled Miga and her colleagues to overcome obstacles such as highly repetitive DNA sequences in order to fill in the remaining gaps. Credit: NHGRI Many of the newly revealed regions have important functions in the genome even if they do not include active genes. “There is a profound advantage to seeing the whole genome as a complete system. It puts us in a position to unravel how that system works,” said David Haussler, director of the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute. “We’ve gotten an enormous understanding of human biology and disease from having roughly 90 percent of the human genome, but there were many important aspects that lay hidden, out of view of science, because we did not have the technology to read those portions of the genome. Now we can stand at the top of the mountain and see all of the landscape below and get a complete picture of our human genetic heritage.” The T2T genome sequence, representing the finished CHM13 genome plus the recently finished T2T Y chromosome (CHM13 includes an X but not a Y chromosome), is now a new reference genome in the UCSC Genome Browser. The T2T sequence is fully annotated in the browser, providing an efficient way for scientists to access and visualize a wealth of information associated with genes and other elements of the genome. “We wanted to put the information out in a way that is accessible and familiar to researchers so they can begin to build on it and use all the tools and resources the browser provides,” Miga explained. Karen Miga, assistant professor of biomolecular engineering at UC Santa Cruz, co-led the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium, which has released the first complete, gapless assembly of a human genome sequence.

Building Towards a Human Pangenome Reference “We’re adding a second complete genome, and then there will be more,” explained Haussler. “The next phase is to think about the reference for humanity’s genome as not being a single genome sequence. This is a profound transition, the harbinger of a new era in which we will eventually capture human diversity in an unbiased way.” The T2T Consortium has now joined with the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium, which aims to create a new “human pangenome reference” based on the complete genome sequences of 350 individuals. “Pangenomics is about capturing the diversity of the human population, and it’s also about ensuring we’ve captured the whole genome properly,” said Benedict Paten, associate professor of biomolecular engineering at UCSC, a coauthor of the T2T papers, and a leader of the pangenomics effort. “Without having a map of these difficult-to-sequence regions of the genome across multiple individuals, then we’re missing a huge amount of the variation present in our population. T2T sets us up to look across hundreds of genomes from telomere to telomere. It’s going to be great!” The standard reference genome (GRCh38) does not represent any one individual but was assembled from multiple donors. Merging them into one linear sequence created artificial structures in the sequence. The Human Pangenome Project will make it possible to compare newly sequenced genomes to multiple complete genomes representing a range of human ancestries. Improving Genetic Variant Analysis with the T2T Genome An important outcome of the new T2T sequence is enabling more accurate assessments of genetic variants. When human genomes are sequenced for clinical studies to understand the role of genetic variants in disease or to study genetic diversity within and between human populations, they are nearly always analyzed by aligning the sequencing results with the reference genome for comparison. The T2T variant team documented major improvements in identifying and interpreting genetic variants using the new T2T sequence compared to the standard human reference genome. “The new human genome is incredibly accurate at the base level, allowing us to flag hundreds of thousands of variants that had been misinterpreted by mapping them to the standard reference. Many of these new variants are in genes known to contribute to disease. We can now spot those because we have a more complete and accurate reference genome,” Miga said. Miga’s research has focused on satellite DNA, the long stretches of repetitive DNA sequences found mostly in and around telomeres and centromeres. The centromeres separate each chromosome into a short arm and a long arm and hold duplicated chromosomes together prior to cell division. “The centromeres play a critical role in how chromosomes segregate properly during cell division, and we’ve known for some time now that they are misregulated in all kinds of human diseases. But we’ve never been able to study them at the sequence level,” Miga said. “By far the largest portion of new sequences added to the reference are centromere satellite DNAs. For the first time, we can study ‘base-by-base’ the sequences that define the centromere and can start to understand how it works.” Long-Read Sequencing Technologies Powering the T2T Effort “Long-read” DNA sequencing technologies, such as the nanopore sequencing pioneered at UC Santa Cruz, were essential tools for the T2T Consortium. Two long-read sequencing datasets—high fidelity reads (HiFi data from PacBio systems) and extremely long reads that routinely reach lengths greater than 100,000 base pairs (ultra-long data from Oxford Nanopore devices)—enabled T2T researchers to span repetitive regions and develop strategies to ensure that the assembly was highly accurate. Miten Jain and other UCSC Genomics Institute researchers helped establish the ultra-long read protocol. UC Santa Cruz has a long history of leadership in genomics, starting with a seminal meeting in 1985 to discuss the sequencing of the human genome organized at UCSC by then-Chancellor Robert Sinsheimer. Haussler was invited to join the public Human Genome Project in 1999, and his team played a crucial role in its completion. At the time, James Kent, now a research scientist at the Genomics Institute and director of the UCSC Genome Browser project, was a UCSC graduate student. He wrote the code that assembled the first working draft of the human genome from data obtained by the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium, and UCSC posted the draft online for the whole world to access. Kent then created the UCSC Genome Browser, still the most widely used platform to access the human genome. The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute has continued to be at the forefront of genomics research and plays a leading role in the T2T and pangenomics efforts. “The T2T work reflects the sustained and dedicated efforts of many people at UC Santa Cruz and elsewhere. Karen Miga has been working hard to get real centromere sequences into the human genome assemblies for a decade, and this has finally come to fruition!” said Kent. “I’m very excited to see this work combined with efforts to get telomere-to-telomere sequences from other human ancestries. We are moving quickly towards a truly complete representation of the human genome.” Reference: “The complete sequence of a human genome” by Sergey Nurk, Sergey Koren, Arang Rhie, Mikko Rautiainen, Andrey V.

One of the few places in the world that collects Leucoraja erinacea and breeds it for research, including for the present study, is the Marine Resources Center at the Marine Biology Laboratory in Woods Hole. Credit: David Gold Lynn Kee and Meghan Morrissey, MBL Embryology Course Researchers have discovered that little skate’s unique cape-like fins evolved through changes in the non-coding regions of its genome and the three-dimensional structures called “topologically associated domains” (TADs). This breakthrough highlights the importance of 3D genomic structures in driving evolutionary change. The little skate’s dance on the ocean floor is graceful: its massive frontal fins undulate as it skims beneath a layer of sand. With its mottled sand-colored camouflage, the animal is easy to miss. Scientists at Max Delbrück Center in Berlin, the Andalusian Center for Developmental Biology (CABD) in Seville and other labs in the United States have discovered how the skate evolved these cape-like fins by peering into their DNA. They found that the key to the evolution of the skate fins lies not in the coding regions of its genome, but rather in the non-coding bits and the three-dimensional complexes that it folds into. These 3D structures are called “topologically associated domains” (TADs). The international team describes in the journal Nature that genomic changes that alter TADs can drive evolution. Until recently, genome evolution was mostly focused on studying variation at the DNA sequence level, but not in 3D genomic structures. “This is a new way of thinking about how genomes evolve,” says Dr. Darío Lupiáñez, geneticist at the Max Delbrück Center and one of the lead authors of the study. “Although we found that unique gene-expression patterns establish exceptionally wide skate fins a while ago, the underlying regulatory changes in the genome have previously remained unknown,” says co-author Dr. Tetsuya Nakamura, developmental biologist at Rutgers University.

Credit: Mary Colasanto and Emily Mis, MBL Embryology Course More than 450 million years ago, the genome of a primitive fish — the ancestor of all vertebrate animals — duplicated twice. The expansion in genetic material drove the rapid evolution of more than 60,000 vertebrates, including humans. One of our most distant vertebrate relatives are little skates (Leucoraja erinacea), which belong to a lineage of cartilaginous fishes that includes sharks and rays. These distant cousins are ideal organisms to learn about the evolution of traits that made us human, such as paired appendages. “Skates are cartilaginous fishes called Chondrichthyans. They are considered more similar to ancestral vertebrates,” says Dr. Christina Paliou, a developmental biologist at the CABD and one of the first authors. “We can compare the characteristics of skates with other species and determine what is novel and what is ancestral.” An Exciting Time in Evolutionary Genomics In 2017, the late Dr. José Luis Gómez-Skarmeta from the CABD, a founding figure in evolutionary genomics, brought together scientists from around the world to study skate evolution: laboratories with expertise in genome evolution such as the Ferdinand Marlétaz lab at University College London and Daniel Rokhsar lab at the University of California-Berkeley, in skate biology such as the Neil Shubin lab at University of Chicago, where Tetsuya Nakamura was then located (now at Rutgers) and in 3D gene regulation such as the Juan Tena at CABD, Darío Lupiáñez and Gómez-Skarmeta labs, as well as other collaborators. Gómez-Skarmeta was interested in learning how genomes evolve structurally and functionally to promote the appearance of new traits. “To a great extent, evolution is the history of changing the regulation of gene expression during development,” he said in 2018. It was an exciting time for evolutionary genomics. Genome sequencing technologies had significantly improved and scientists could gain novel insights into how DNA, which stretches a couple of meters end-to-end, is folded into a 0.002-inch-diameter cell nucleus. “The packaging of DNA in the nucleus is far from random,” says Lupiáñez. The DNA folds into 3D structures called TADs, which contain genes and their regulatory sequences. These 3D structures ensure that the appropriate genes are switched on and off at the right time, in the right cells. Darío Lupiáñez in the lab. Credit: David Ausserhofer, Max Delbrück Center Dr. Rafael Acemel, a geneticist at the Max Delbrück Center and one of the first authors, performed experiments using the Hi-C technology, to elucidate the 3D structure of the TADs. But interpreting the results was challenging at first as the scientists needed the complete skate genome as a reference point. “At the time, the reference consisted of thousands of small unordered pieces of DNA sequence, so that did not help,” Acamel says. To overcome this difficulty, the scientists used long-read sequencing technology, together with Hi-C data, to assemble the pieces of the DNA like a puzzle and assign the unordered sequences to skate chromosomes. With the new reference, assembling the 3D structure of the TADs using Hi-C became trivial. They compared this improved skate genome with genomes of the closest relatives, sharks, to identify any TADs altered during skate evolution. These altered TADs included genes of the Wnt/PCP pathway, which is important for the development of fins. There was also a skate-specific variation in a non-coding sequence near the Hox genes, which also regulate fin development. “This specific sequence can activate several Hox genes in the front part of the fins, which does not happen in other fish or four-legged animals,” says Paliou. Subsequently, the scientists performed functional experiments that confirmed these molecular changes helped the skates evolve their unique fins. TADs Drive Evolution Earlier research has shown that changes in TADs can affect the expression of genes and cause diseases in humans. In this study, scientists show a role for TADs in driving evolution that has been previously noted for moles, too. After the primitive fish ancestor duplicated its genome, many unused and redundant parts were subsequently lost. “It was not only the genes that disappeared, but also the associated regulatory elements and the TADs they are contained in,” Lupiáñez says. “I think it’s an exciting finding as it suggests that the 3D structure of the genome has an influence on its evolution.” TADs are important for gene regulation, 40 percent of them are conserved in all vertebrates, Acemel says. “However, 60 percent of TADs have evolved in some way or another. What were the consequences of these changes for species evolution? I think that we are just scratching the surface of this exciting phenomenon,” Acemel says. This mechanism of evolution constrained by TADs could be prevalent in nature. “We suspect that these mechanisms might explain many other interesting phenotypes that we observe in nature,” Lupiáñez says. “By adding these new layers of gene expression, gene regulation, and 3D chromatin organization, the field of evolutionary genomics is entering into a new era of discovery.” Reference: “The little skate genome and the evolutionary emergence of wing-like fin appendages” by Ferdinand Marlétaz, Elisa de la Calle-Mustienes, Rafael D.
