Sexual reproduction is widespread among eukaryotes, and the sex-determining processes vary greatly among species. While genetic sex determination (GSD) has been intensively described in bilaterian species, no example has yet been recorded among non-bilaterians. However, the quasi-ubiquitous repartition of GSD among multicellular species suggests that similar evolutionary forces can promote this system, and that these forces could occur also in non-bilaterians. Studying sex determination across the range of Metazoan diversity is indeed important to understand better the evolution of this mechanism and its lability. We tested the existence of sex-linked genes in the gonochoric red coral ( Corallium rubrum , Cnidaria) using restriction site-associated DNA sequencing. We analysed 27 461 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 354 individuals from 12 populations including 53 that were morphologically sexed. We found a strong association between the allele frequencies of 472 SNPs and the sex of individuals, suggesting an XX/XY sex-determination system. This result was confirmed by the identification of 435 male-specific loci. An independent test confirmed that the amplification of these loci enabled us to identify males with absolute certainty. This is the first demonstration of a GSD system among non-bilaterian species and a new example of its convergence in multicellular eukaryotes.

Abstract Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is cultivated around the world as a vegetable crop and exhibits diverse morphological and physiological features. DNA polymorphisms are responsible for differences in traits among cultivars. In this study, we determined genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among geographically diverse radish accessions using the double-digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRAD-Seq) method. A total of 52,559 SNPs was identified in a collection of over 500 radish accessions (cultivated and wild) from East Asia, South and Southeast Asia, and the Occident and Near East. In addition, 2,624 SNP sites without missing data (referred to as common SNP sites) were identified among 510 accessions. Genetic diversity analyses, based on the common SNP sites, divided the cultivated radish accessions into four main groups, each derived from four geographical areas (Japan, East Asia, South and Southeast Asia, and the Occident and Near East). Furthermore, we discuss the origin of cultivated radish and its migration from the West to East Asia. SNP data generated in this work will facilitate further genetic studies on the radish breeding and production of DNA markers.

Abstract Background There are many research studies have estimated the heritability of phenotypic traits, but few have considered longitudinal changes in several phenotypic traits together. Objective To evaluate the progressive effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on prominent health-related phenotypic traits by determining SNP-based heritability ($$h_{snp}^{2}$$hsnp2) using longitudinal data. Methods Sixteen phenotypic traits associated with major health indices were observed biennially for 6843 individuals with 10-year follow-up in a Korean community-based cohort. Average SNP heritability and longitudinal changes in the total period were estimated using a two-stage model. Average and periodic differences for each subject were considered responses to estimate SNP heritability. Furthermore, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed for significant SNPs. Results Each SNP heritability for the phenotypic mean of all sixteen traits through 6 periods (baseline and five follow-ups) were significant. Gradually, the forced vital capacity in one second (FEV1) reflected the only significant SNP heritability among longitudinal changes at a false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted 0.05 significance level ($$h_{snp}^{2} = 0.171$$hsnp2=0.171, FDR = 0.0012). On estimating chromosomal heritability, chromosome 2 displayed the highest heritability upon periodic changes in FEV1. SNPs including rs2272402 and rs7209788 displayed a genome-wide significant association with longitudinal changes in FEV1 (P = 1.22 × 10−8 for rs2272402 and P = 3.36 × 10−7 for rs7209788). De novo variants including rs4922117 (near LPL, P = 2.13 × 10−15) of log-transformed high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratios and rs2335418 (near HMGCR, P = 3.2 $$\times$$× 10−9) of low-density lipoprotein were detected on GWAS. Conclusion Significant genetic effects on longitudinal changes in FEV1 among the middle-aged general population and chromosome 2 account for most of the genetic variance.
