Introduction to Marsupial phyloSNPs
In this project, new genomic data from the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii), Tasmanian tiger (Thylacinus cynocephalus), and echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) are analyzed for significant changes at the protein coding level. The goal is to find single amino acid changes in one of these species at a highly invariant residue in a well-conserved exon in a gene with known or predictable tertiary structure. Such changes are thought to enrich for genetic changes with significant, adaptive biochemical or phenotypic consequences (1,2,3,4), in contrast to ordinary SNPs at positions of low conservation. Thus phyloSNPs are informative to the distinctive biology of the species carrying them and suggest a focus for subsequent experiment.
Marsupial genomic and cDNA data to date has been quite limited compared to placental mammal. Yet as outgroup, metatheran animals provide important context to placentals and represent important context in understanding human protein evolution. The monotheres are inevitably limited by the paucity of extant species (basically platypus and echidna) and dim prospects for fossil DNA. Consequently echidna provides an important adjunct to the existing but incomplete platypus assembly. While extant birds and reptiles -- the preceding divergence node -- are abundant it must be remembered that a very considerable time elapsed (from 310 mry to 175 mry) prior to divergence of mammals with living representatives. This gap of 135 myr is comparable to the whole evolutionary record of theran mammals.

Read data format: the top row gives project gene name, HGNC gene name and exon number from ENSEMBL monDom5
and human orthology predictions, then Monodelphis amino-acid segment, then sequence differences in
tasmanian devil (in this case, both individuals differ from Monodelphis by L->F), then differences between the two thylacines
(here one individual has R at position 15, the other has H), and finally the number of experimental reads that confirm the nucleotide
difference and the sum of the quality scores. The sequences were assembled by Newbler (the official 454 assembler) which uses
lower-case letters for less confident calls.
Paralog and pseudogene issues: ERN2 has not generated potentially confusing recent pseudogenes (lack of human or opossum genome Blat matches to ERN2 query). GeneSorter shows a single remote full-length paralog ERN1. However this particular exon is a good match (3 differences out of 23), so there is potential for experimental difficulties in distinguishing them in short reads. However at positions 15 and 20, ERN1 is identical at the amino acid level to ERN2.
Homoplasy (recurrent mutation) issues: This exon is very conserved and does not exhibit repetitive sequence, compositional simplicity, or indels in any species in either paralog that could foster experimental error or alignment ambiguity. At position 15, the ancestral value is arginine in both paralogs. The G--> A transition to histidine in one individual is conservative under most circumstances (still basic) and arises from an arginine codon CpG hotspot conserved back to lamprey, yet histidine is not observed part of a reduced alphabet (ie R/H) at this position over many billions of years of branch length. Consequently R-->H is a significant change in this individual tasmanian devil.
As an interesting side issue, a very ancient conserved leucine at position 21 appears to be transitioning to phenylalanine at marsupial node but has not been fixed, so settles out as L or F depending on lineage-sorting on each terminal marsupial leaf whereas placentals are all changed to phenylalanine (a phyloSNP caught in mid-air). While L and F might seem about the 'same' as amino acids, the branch length conservation totals say both are important but for different reasons: this is not a waffle codon nor reduced alphabet situation.
This raises the question -- given the extreme conservation of this exon otherwise -- of whether the L->F change at position 21 in both individuals has 'enabled' (made neutral or adaptive) an otherwise unfavorable R-->H change at position 15 in one individual.
