The entire genome consists of more than 3 billion nucleotides. Credit: Ernesto del Aguila III, NHGRI Repetitive DNA sequences around centromere show history of human genetic variation. Scientists lied a little when they revealed the entire sequencing of the human genome in 2003. In actuality, almost 20 years later, approximately 8% of the genome has never been completely sequenced, due to highly repetitive DNA segments that are difficult to match with the rest of the genome. However, a three-year-old team has finally filled in the gaps in the remaining DNA, giving scientists and physicians the first complete, gap-free genome sequencing. The recently completed genome, termed T2T-CHM13, is a significant improvement over the existing reference genome, GRCh38, which is used by physicians and scientists to check for disease-linked mutations as well as to study the evolution of human genetic diversity. The new DNA sequences, among other things, provide previously unknown details about the area around the centromere, which is where chromosomes are seized and tugged apart as cells split, ensuring that each “daughter” cell acquires the right amount of chromosomes. Variability within this area might potentially provide fresh information about how our ancestors developed in Africa. “Uncovering the complete sequence of these formerly missing regions of the genome told us so much about how they’re organized, which was totally unknown for many chromosomes,” said Nicolas Altemose, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, and co-author of four new articles describing the completed genome. “Before, we just had the blurriest picture of what was there, and now it’s crystal clear down to single base pair resolution.” Altemose is first author of one paper that describes the base pair sequences around the centromere. A paper explaining how the sequencing was done will appear in the April 1 print edition of the journal Science, while Altemose’s centromere paper and four others describing what the new sequences tell us are summarized in the journal with the full papers posted online. Four companion papers, including one for which Altemose is co-first author, also will appear online April 1 in the journal Nature Methods. The sequencing and analysis were performed by a team of more than 100 people, the so-called Telemere-to-Telomere Consortium, or T2T, named for the telomeres that cap the ends of all chromosomes. The consortium’s gapless version of all 22 autosomes and the X sex chromosome is composed of 3.055 billion base pairs, the units from which chromosomes and our genes are built, and 19,969 protein-coding genes. Of the protein-coding genes, the T2T team found about 2,000 new ones, most of them disabled, but 115 of which may still be expressed. They also found about 2 million additional variants in the human genome, 622 of which occur in medically relevant genes. “In the future, when someone has their genome sequenced, we will be able to identify all of the variants in their DNA and use that information to better guide their health care,” said Adam Phillippy, one of the leaders of T2T and a senior investigator at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health. “Truly finishing the human genome sequence was like putting on a new pair of glasses. Now that we can clearly see everything, we are one step closer to understanding what it all means.” The Evolving Centromere The new DNA sequences in and around the centromere total about 6.2% of the entire genome, or nearly 190 million base pairs, or nucleotides. Of the remaining newly added sequences, most are found around the telomeres at the end of each chromosome and in the regions surrounding ribosomal genes. The entire genome is made of just four types of nucleotides, which, in groups of three, code for the amino acids used to build proteins. Altemose’s main research involves finding and exploring areas of the chromosomes where proteins interact with DNA. The spindles (green) that pull chromosomes apart during cell division are attached to a protein complex called the kinetochore, which latches onto the chromosome at a place called the centromere — a region containing highly repetitive DNA sequences. Comparing the sequences of these repeats revealed where mutations have accumulated over millions of years, reflecting the relative age of each repeat. Repeats in the active centromere tend to be the youngest and most recently duplicated sequences in the region, and they have strikingly low DNA methylation. Surrounding the active centromere on both sides are older repeats, probably the relics of former centromeres, with the oldest ones farthest from the active centromere. The researchers hope that new experimental methods will help reveal why centromeres evolve from the middle, as well as why this pattern is so closely associated with binding by the kinetochore and with low DNA methylation. Credit: Nicolas Altemose, UC Berkeley “Without proteins, DNA is nothing,” said Altemose, who earned a Ph.D. in bioengineering jointly from UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco in 2021 after having received a D.Phil. in statistics from Oxford University. “DNA is a set of instructions with no one to read it if it doesn’t have proteins around to organize it, regulate it, repair it when it’s damaged and replicate it. Protein-DNA interactions are really where all the action is happening for genome regulation, and being able to map where certain proteins bind to the genome is really important for understanding their function.” After the T2T consortium sequenced the missing DNA, Altemose and his team used new techniques to find the place within the centromere where a big protein complex called the kinetochore solidly grips the chromosome so that other machines inside the nucleus can pull chromosome pairs apart. “When this goes wrong, you end up with missegregated chromosomes, and that leads to all kinds of problems,” he said. “If that happens in meiosis, that means you can have chromosomal anomalies leading to spontaneous miscarriage or congenital diseases. If it happens in somatic cells, you can end up with cancer — basically, cells that have massive misregulation.” What they found in and around the centromeres were layers of new sequences overlaying layers of older sequences, as if through evolution new centromere regions have been laid down repeatedly to bind to the kinetochore. The older regions are characterized by more random mutations and deletions, indicating they’re no longer used by the cell. The newer sequences where the kinetochore binds are much less variable, and also less methylated. The addition of a methyl group is an epigenetic tag that tends to silence genes. All of the layers in and around the centromere are composed of repetitive lengths of DNA, based on a unit about 171 base pairs long, which is roughly the length of DNA that wraps around a group of proteins to form a nucleosome, keeping the DNA packaged and compact. These 171 base pair units form even larger repeat structures that are duplicated many times in tandem, building up a large region of repetitive sequences around the centromere. The T2T team focused on only one human genome, obtained from a non-cancerous tumor called a hydatidiform mole, which is essentially a human embryo that rejected the maternal DNA and duplicated its paternal DNA instead. Such embryos die and transform into tumors. But the fact that this mole had two identical copies of the paternal DNA — both with the father’s X chromosome, instead of different DNA from both mother and father — made it easier to sequence. The researchers also released this week the complete sequence of a Y chromosome from a different source, which took nearly as long to assemble as the rest of the genome combined, Altemose said. The analysis of this new Y chromosome sequence will appear in a future publication. When the researchers compared centromeric regions of 1,600 people from around the world, they found that those without recent African ancestry mostly had two types of sequence variations. The proportions of these two variations are represented by the black and light gray wedges within the circles, which are placed on the map near the location where each group of individuals was sampled. Those from Africa or other areas with a large proportion of people with recent African ancestry, like the Caribbean, had much more centromeric sequence variation, represented by the multi-colored wedges. Such variations could help track how centromeric regions evolve, as well as how these genetic variants are related to health and disease. Credit: Nicolas Altemose, UC Berkeley Altemose and his team, which included UC Berkeley project scientist Sasha Langley, also used the new reference genome as a scaffold to compare the centromeric DNA of 1,600 individuals from around the world, revealing major differences in both the sequence and copy number of repetitive DNA around the centromere. Previous studies have shown that when groups of ancient humans migrated out of Africa to the rest of the world, they took only a small sample of genetic variants with them. Altemose and his team confirmed that this pattern extends into centromeres. “What we found is that in individuals with recent ancestry outside the African continent, their centromeres, at least on chromosome X, tend to fall into two big clusters, while most of the interesting variation is in individuals who have recent African ancestry,” Altemose said. “This isn’t entirely a surprise, given what we know about the rest of the genome. But what it suggests is that if we want to look at the interesting variation in these centromeric regions, we really need to have a focused effort to sequence more African genomes and do complete telomere-to-telomere sequence assembly.” DNA sequences around the centromere could also be used to trace human lineages back to our common ape ancestors, he noted. “As you move away from the site of the active centromere, you get more and more degraded sequence, to the point where if you go out to the furthest shores of this sea of repetitive sequences, you start to see the ancient centromere that, perhaps, our distant primate ancestors used to bind to the kinetochore,” Altemose said. “It’s almost like layers of fossils.” Long-Read Sequencing a Game Changer The T2T’s success is due to improved techniques for sequencing long stretches of DNA at once, which helps when determining the order of highly repetitive stretches of DNA. Among these are PacBio’s HiFi sequencing, which can read lengths of more than 20,000 base pairs with high accuracy. Technology developed by Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd., on the other hand, can read up to several million base pairs in sequence, though with less fidelity. For comparison, so-called next-generation sequencing by Illumina Inc. is limited to hundreds of base pairs. One reason it took 20 years to complete the human genome sequence: much of our DNA is extremely repetitive. Credit: Infographic courtesy of NHGRI, NIH “These new long-read DNA sequencing technologies are just incredible; they’re such game changers, not only for this repetitive DNA world, but because they allow you to sequence single long molecules of DNA,” Altemose said. “You can begin to ask questions at a level of resolution that just wasn’t possible before, not even with short-read sequencing methods.” Altemose plans to explore the centromeric regions further, using an improved technique he and colleagues at Stanford developed to pinpoint the sites on the chromosome that are bound by proteins, similar to how the kinetochore binds to the centromere. This technique, too, uses long-read sequencing technology. He and his group described the technique, called Directed Methylation with Long-read sequencing (DiMeLo-seq), in a paper that appeared this week in the journal Nature Methods. Meanwhile, the T2T consortium is partnering with the Human PanGenome Reference Consortium to work toward a reference genome that represents all of humanity. “Instead of just having one reference from one human individual or one hydatidiform mole, which isn’t even a real human individual, we should have a reference that represents everybody,” Altemose said. “There are various ideas about how to accomplish that. But what we need first is a grasp of what that variation looks like, and we need lots of high-quality individual genome sequences to accomplish that.” His work on the centromeric regions, which he called “a passion project,” was funded by postdoctoral fellowships. The leaders of the T2T project were Karen Miga of UC Santa Cruz, Evan Eichler of the University of Washington, and Adam Phillippy of NHGRI, which provided much of the funding. Other UC Berkeley co-authors of the centromere paper are Aaron Streets, assistant professor of bioengineering; Abby Dernburg and Gary Karpen, professors of molecular and cell biology; project scientist Sasha Langley; and former postdoctoral fellow Gina Caldas.

Penis Worm Credit: Wikimedia, CC BY-SA Australia’s oceans are home to a startling array of biodiversity — whales, dolphins, dugongs, and more. But not all components of Aussie marine life are the charismatic sort of animals that can feature in a tourism promotion, documentary, or conservation campaign. The echiuran, or spoon worm, is one such animal. It is also called the penis worm. There is no “Save the Echiuran Foundation” and no influencers selling merchandise to help save them. But these phallic invertebrates are certainly worth your time as integral and fascinating members — of Australia’s marine ecosystems. What makes them so interesting? Taxonomists have classified echiurans in various different ways over the years, including as their own group of unique animals. Today, they’re considered a group of annelid worms that lost their segmentation. There is uncertainty about the exact number of species, but an estimate is 236. The largest echiuran species reach over two meters in length! They have a sausage-shaped muscular trunk and an extensible proboscis (or tongue) at their front end. The trunk moves by wave like contractions. Most echiurans live in marine sand and mud in long, U-shaped burrows, but some species also live between rocks. And they’re widespread, living up to 6,000 meters deep in the ocean all the way to the seashore, worldwide. Some species live between rocks. For example, one species, Ochetostoma australiense, is a common sight along sandy or muddy shorelines of Queensland and New South Wales, where it sweeps out of its burrow to collect and consume organic matter. In fact, their feeding activities are something to behold, as they form a star-like pattern on the surface that extends from their burrow opening. In another species, Bonella viridis, there is a striking difference between the males and females — the females are large (about 15 centimeters or 6 inches long) and the males are tiny (1-3 millimeters). Most larvae are sexually undifferentiated, and the sex they end up as depends on who’s around. The larvae metamorphose into dwarf males when they’re exposed to females, and into females when there are no other females present. Males function as little more than a gonad and are reliant on females for all their needs. Another common name for the penis worm is the fat innkeeper worm. Credit: Alison Young/iNaturalist Why they’re so important Echiurans perform a range of important ecological functions in the marine environment. They’re known as “ecosystem engineers” — organisms that directly or indirectly control the availability of resources, such as food and shelter, to other species. They do this mainly by changing the physical characteristics of habitats, for example, by creating and maintaining burrows, which can benefit other species. There are an estimated 236 species of penis worm. Credit: Rogerl Josh/iNaturalist Echiurans also have a variety of symbiotic animals, including crustaceans and bivalve mollusks, residing in their burrows. This means both animals have a mutually beneficial relationship. In fact, animals from at least eight different animal groups associate with echiuran burrows or rock-inhabiting echiurans — and this is probably an underestimate. They’re beneficial for humans, too. Their burrowing and feeding habits aerate and rework sediments. Off the Californian coastline, for example, scientists noted how these activities reduced the impacts of wastewater on the seabed. And they’re an important part of the diet of fish, including deepwater sharks such as the houndsharks, and species of commercial significance such as Alaskan plaice. Some mammals feast on them, too, such as the Pacific walrus in the Bering Sea, and the southern sea otter. In Queensland, they also contribute to the diet of the critically endangered eastern curlew. And many people eat them in East and Southeast Asia, where they’re chopped up and eaten raw, or used as a fermented product called gaebul-jeot. They (allegedly) taste slightly salty with sweet undertones. A southern sea otter snacking on a penis worm. The unloved billions In Australia, there is very little known about the biology and ecological roles of our echiuran fauna. This can also be said of many of Australia’s soft sediment marine invertebrates — the unloved billions. We simply do not understand the population dynamics of even the large and relatively common echiuran species, and the human processes that threaten them. Given their role as ecosystem engineers, impacts on echiuran populations can flow onto other components of the seabed fauna, imperiling entire ecosystems. Not all species have a fleshy pink color. Credit: Wayne Martin/iNaturalist We can, in general terms, predict that populations have suffered from the cumulative effects of urbanization and coastal development. This includes loss and modification of habitats, and changes to water quality. Populations may also be harmed by undersea seismic activities used in oil and gas exploration, but this is still poorly understood. Until recently, scientists knew only of the threats seismic activity posed to the hearing of whales and dolphins. It’s becoming clearer they can also affect the planet’s vital invertebrate species. You may have spotted penis worms along the seashore. It is a dilemma for marine conservation when so little is known about a species that impacts cannot be reliably predicted, and where there is little or no impetus to improve this knowledge base. We cannot simply presume an animal does not play an important role in an ecosystem because it lacks charisma. In George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm, it was said “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others”. This remains abundantly true in terms of how humans view animals. But we must move away from this philosophy if we are to conserve and restore the planet’s fragile ecosystems. Written by Daryl McPhee, Associate Professor of Environmental Science, Bond University.

Example of the morphological variation observed in the cranium of felids and nirmavids with species exhibiting both short and long upper canines. Credit: Narimane Chatar / University of Liège How did sabre-toothed tigers acquire their long upper canine teeth? In a groundbreaking study, an international team of scientists explored the evolutionary development of sabre teeth, revealing a complex continuum of cranial forms and accelerated evolutionary rates in sabre-toothed species. This study provides insights into the decline of these predators and broader evolutionary trends, enhancing our understanding of Earth’s past and the mechanisms of evolutionary convergence. Groundbreaking Study on Sabre Teeth Evolution Sabre teeth, those iconic elongated upper canine teeth, have long fascinated both scientists and the general public, notably because they have appeared several times in the fossil record, including two particularly well-known lineages of sabre-toothed tigers: the felids (the family of our domestic cats, lions, tigers, etc.) and the nimravids (a completely extinct family). However, the process by which these lineages acquired their elongated upper canines remains rather unclear. Skull and mandible of Eusmilus sicarius, a sabre-toothed nimravid scanned at Yale University Museum (Yale Paebody Museum, New Haven, USA.) Credit: N.Chatar/Université de Liège Detailed Analysis of Fossil and Modern Species Narimane Chatar, lead author of the study, who completed her doctorate at the EDDy Lab at the University of Liège and is now a post-doctoral fellow at UC Berkeley in the United States, has led an ambitious study to uncover the secrets of sabre tooth evolution. Using state-of-the-art 3D scanners and analytical methods, the team meticulously collected and analyzed data from a diverse set of current and extinct species. “We quantified the shape of 99 mandibles and 91 skulls, from different eras and continents, giving us a better understanding of the evolution of these animals,” explains Dr. Chatar. “Unlocking the secrets of sabre tooth evolution not only enriches our understanding of the Earth’s past, but also documents the mechanisms leading to evolutionary convergence,” says Professor Valentin Fischer, Director of the EDDyLab at ULiège. Surprising Findings in Sabre Tooth Evolution The study revealed some surprising results. The first is that rather than contrasting two distinct cranial morphologies in species with elongated upper canines and those with short teeth, there is instead a continuum of form linking the smallest present-day cats and their extinct sabre-toothed counterparts. “From a morphological point of view, the skull of a present-day small cat is just as strange and modified as that of a large sabre-toothed felid,” says Dr. Margot Michaud, a researcher at the University of French Guyana in Cayenne. These are therefore the two extremes of a continuum of forms that feline predators have seen evolve over geological time. “Our study suggests that what we often think of as examples of evolutionary patterns in textbooks are actually simplified for educational purposes. However, when we immerse ourselves in statistical analyses, we discover much more complex scenarios in these cases, as suggested by the results of our convergence tests,” explains Davide Tamagnini, post-doctoral researcher at the University of Rome La Sapienza. The second surprise concerns the path taken by evolution to produce sabre-toothed species. In fact, the team’s work has revealed that sabre-toothed species show faster rates of morphological evolution at the start of their evolutionary history than species with shorter canines. “Among other fascinating discoveries, we have shown that craniomandibular integration in sabre-toothed species is reduced, facilitating greater adaptability and diversification in the jaw and cranial morphology,” points out Margot Michaud. Thus, rapid morphological diversification and a fairly plastic skull have been identified as two key components that facilitated the emergence of elongated upper canines in both felids and nimravids. “As a result, there appears to be a common recipe for evolving into sabre-toothed feline-like predators,” says Dr. Chatar. Evolutionary Trends and Implications Finally, the team’s research highlighted the decline of sabre-toothed forms as well as the broader trends of feline-like predators over the course of their evolutionary history. Despite the relatively recent extinction of sabre-toothed forms ‘only’ a few thousand years ago, feline predators have in fact been in decline since the Miocene epoch (between -23 and -5 million years ago). “Some of these feline predators, particularly the sabre-toothed species, rapidly occupied fairly specialized niches, which made them more susceptible to extinction,” explains Dr. Tamagnini. This phenomenon, known as ‘ratchet’ or macroevolutionary ratchet, has been proposed as a potential driver for the decline of certain groups, where evolution favors the loss of early generalized forms, leading to the emergence of more specialized, but also more vulnerable, forms later in the history of the lineage. “Predators have their own evolutionary pathways and risks of extinction. Studying how ancient predators prospered and declined provides us with information about the possible futures of our ecosystems,” concludes Professor Fischer.
