  1. Genetic Architecture of Quantitative Traits: Lessons From Drosophila Trudy F. C. Mackay Department of Genetics & W. M. Keck Center for Behavioral Biology North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC 27695 USA

  2. Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics • What maintains variation for quantitative traits within populations? • Do the same loci causing variation within populations also cause divergence between populations? Between species? • How predictable is evolution?

  3. Quantitative Traits Genetic Variation Environmental Variation Gene-Environment Interaction and Correlation

  15. Linkage Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) • Unbiased • Numbers of markers not too large • Drosophila: Complementation tests to deficiencies and mutations to identify position candidate genes • BUT • Need large sample sizes to localize QTLs to genes using only linkage mapping • Limited genetic diversity

  16. Properties of Segregating Variation Affecting Quantitative Traits Many Loci, Novel Loci Dilda & Mackay 2002, Genetics 162: 1655.

  17. Properties of Segregating Variation Affecting Quantitative Traits Sex-biased, -Specific and -Antagonistic Effects are Common Leips& Mackay 2000, Genetics 155: 1773-1788

  18. Properties of Segregating Variation Affecting Quantitative Traits Environment-Specific Effects (GEIs) are Common Leips& Mackay 2000, Genetics 155: 1773-1788

Properties of Segregating Variation Affecting Quantitative Traits Evidence for Non-Additive Effects From h2 and H2 Mackay et al. 2005, PNAS 102: 6622-6629; Edwards et al. 2006, PLoS Genetics 2: 3154; Jordan et al. 2007, Genome Biol. 8: R172; Morozova et al. 2009, Genetics 83: 733-745; Ayroles et al. 2009, Nat. Genet. 41: 299-307; Edwards et al. 2009, Genome Biol. 10: R76; Morozova et al. 2009, Genetics 83: 733-745

  21. Properties of Segregating Variation Affecting Quantitative Traits Evidence for Epistasis From QTL Mapping RIL  Oregon RIL  2b • Sex- and cross-specific epistasis • Interactions not always between QTLs with main effects Mackay et al. 2006, Handbook of the Biology of Aging, 6th Edition

  22. Properties of Segregating Variation Affecting Quantitative Traits Association Mapping of QTLs • Greater power to localize QTLs than linkage mapping • Large sample of genetic diversity • Can map to gene level and below if linkage disequilibrium declines rapidly with physical distance (Drosophila) • BUT • Can be biased • Need all molecular polymorphisms (deep sequencing)

  23. Fly GWAS: Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) 192 • Living library of genetic variation • Community resource for association mapping complex traits • Multiple complex organismal phenotypes, intermediate molecular phenotypes, multiple environments • Illumina sequences > 12x, 168 lines to date • Genotypes called using JGIL (Eric Stone)

  24. Genetic Variation for Complex Traits in DGRP Lines Starvation Resistance Chill Coma Recovery Ethanol Sensitivity Life Span Locomotion Mating Behavior Sleep Aggression Fitness

Olfactory behavior (adult and larvae) Locomotor behavior in response to drugs Phototaxis Geotaxis Learning and memory Foraging behavior Circadian rhythm Sperm precedence Cuticular hydrocarbons Oxidative stress resistance Immune response Metabolic traits Development time Body size Wing morphology Pigmentation Etc….. Whole genome transcript abundance Ecologically relevant environments

  29. GWAS for Startle Response Most significant SNPs are low frequency Standardized effects not small Many significant SNPs (FDR < 0.1) Many sex-specific effects Local LD 72 genes DGRP Consortium, unpublished

  30. Relationship Between Effect Size and MAF

  31. GWAS for Startle Response 141.7% total VG M: Mutant Q: in QTL R: Rapidly evolving BE: Increased brain expression MS: Missense DGRP Consortium, unpublished

  32. Genotype-Phenotype Prediction 7 SNPs r2 = 0.513 r = 0.716

  33. P-element mutations Natural variants • P screen not comprehensive • MAF of natural variants 1-5% (low power) • Large mutational target size • Many loci affect natural variation
