Due to their inherent ability to overcome the rules of Mendelian inheritance, gene drives (GD) may spread genes rapidly through populations of sexually reproducing organisms. A release of organisms carrying a GD would constitute a paradigm shift in the handling of genetically modified organisms because gene drive organisms (GDO) are designed to drive their transgenes into wild populations and thereby increase the number of GDOs. The rapid development in this field and its focus on wild populations demand a prospective risk assessment with a focus on exposure related aspects. Presently, it is unclear how adequate risk management could be guaranteed to limit the spread of GDs in time and space, in order to avoid potential adverse effects in socio‐ecological systems.\r\n\r\nThe recent workshop on the “Evaluation of Spatial and Temporal Control of Gene Drives” hosted by the Institute of Safety/Security and Risk Sciences (ISR) in Vienna aimed at gaining some insight into the potential population dynamic behavior of GDs and appropriate measures of control. Scientists from France, Germany, England, and the USA discussed both topics in this meeting on April 4–5, 2019.

In contact zones between the "Crab" and "Wave" ecotypes of the snail Littorina saxatilis divergent selection forms strong barriers to gene flow, while the role of postzygotic barriers due to selection against hybrids remains unclear. High embryo abortion rates in this species could indicate the presence of such barriers. Postzygotic barriers might include genetic incompatibilities (e.g. Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities) but also maladaptation, both expected to be most pronounced in contact zones. In addition, embryo abortion might reflect physiological stress on females and embryos independent of any genetic stress. We examined all embryos of >500 females sampled outside and inside contact zones of three populations in Sweden. Females' clutch size ranged from 0 to 1011 embryos (mean 130±123) and abortion rates varied between 0 and100% (mean 12%). We described female genotypes by using a hybrid index based on hundreds of SNPs differentiated between ecotypes with which we characterised female genotypes. We also calculated female SNP heterozygosity and inversion karyotype. Clutch size did not vary with female hybrid index and abortion rates were only weakly related to hybrid index in two sites but not at all in a third site. No additional variation in abortion rate was explained by female SNP heterozygosity, but increased female inversion heterozygosity added slightly to increased abortion. Our results show only weak and probably biologically insignificant postzygotic barriers contributing to ecotype divergence and the high and variable abortion rates were marginally, if at all, explained by hybrid index of females. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Kerstin full_name: Johannesson, Kerstin last_name: Johannesson - first_name: Zuzanna full_name: Zagrodzka, Zuzanna last_name: Zagrodzka - first_name: Rui full_name: Faria, Rui last_name: Faria - first_name: Anja M full_name: Westram, Anja M id: 3C147470-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Westram orcid: 0000-0003-1050-4969 - first_name: Roger full_name: Butlin, Roger last_name: Butlin citation: ama: 'Johannesson K, Zagrodzka Z, Faria R, Westram AM, Butlin R.

Parallel divergence often occurs in heterogeneous environments with different kinds of environmental gradients in different locations, but the genomic basis underlying this process is unknown. We investigated the genomics of rapid parallel adaptation in the marine snail Littorina saxatilis in response to two independent environmental axes (crab-predation versus wave-action and low-shore versus high-shore). Using pooled whole-genome resequencing, we show that sharing of genomic regions of high differentiation between environments is generally low but increases at smaller spatial scales. We identify different shared genomic regions of divergence for each environmental axis and show that most of these regions overlap with candidate chromosomal inversions. Several inversion regions are divergent and polymorphic across many localities. We argue that chromosomal inversions could store shared variation that fuels rapid parallel adaptation to heterogeneous environments, possibly as balanced polymorphism shared by adaptive gene flow. article_number: eaav9963 article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Hernán E. full_name: Morales, Hernán E. last_name: Morales - first_name: Rui full_name: Faria, Rui last_name: Faria - first_name: Kerstin full_name: Johannesson, Kerstin last_name: Johannesson - first_name: Tomas full_name: Larsson, Tomas last_name: Larsson - first_name: Marina full_name: Panova, Marina last_name: Panova - first_name: Anja M full_name: Westram, Anja M id: 3C147470-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Westram orcid: 0000-0003-1050-4969 - first_name: Roger K. full_name: Butlin, Roger K. last_name: Butlin citation: ama: 'Morales HE, Faria R, Johannesson K, et al.

We summarise the powerful methods available for analysis of multiple loci, when linkage equilibrium can be assumed, and then discuss approaches to the more challenging case, where associations between alleles require that we follow genotype, rather than allele, frequencies.

However, only rarely can we follow this process—whether it originates from the spread of a new mutation, or by introgression from another population. In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Hanemaaijer et al. (2018) report on a 25‐year long study of the mosquitoes Anopheles gambiae (Figure 1) and Anopheles coluzzi in Mali, based on genotypes at 15 single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). The species are usually reproductively isolated from each other, but in 2002 and 2006, bursts of hybridization were observed, when F1 hybrids became abundant. Alleles backcrossed from A. gambiae into A. coluzzi, but after the first event, these declined over the following years. In contrast, after 2006, an insecticide resistance allele that had established in A. gambiae spread into A. coluzzi, and rose to high frequency there, over 6 years (~75 generations). Whole genome sequences of 74 individuals showed that A. gambiae SNP from across the genome had become common in the A. coluzzi population, but that most of these were clustered in 34 genes around the resistance locus. A new set of SNP from 25 of these genes were assayed over time; over the 4 years since near‐fixation of the resistance allele; some remained common, whereas others declined. What do these patterns tell us about this introgression event? article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Nicholas H full_name: Barton, Nicholas H id: 4880FE40-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Barton orcid: 0000-0002-8548-5240 citation: ama: 'Barton NH.

However, this specificity is limited, leading to frequent incorrect binding of transcription factors that might have deleterious consequences on the cell. By constructing a biophysical model of TF-DNA binding in the context of gene regulation, I will first explore how regulatory constraints can strongly shape the distribution of a population in sequence space. Then, by directly linking this to a picture of multiple types of transcription factors performing their functions simultaneously inside the cell, I will explore the extent of regulatory crosstalk -- incorrect binding interactions between transcription factors and binding sites that lead to erroneous regulatory states -- and understand the constraints this places on the design of regulatory systems. I will then develop a generic theoretical framework to investigate the coevolution of multiple transcription factors and multiple binding sites, in the context of a gene regulatory network that performs a certain function. As a particular tractable version of this problem, I will consider the evolution of two transcription factors when they transmit upstream signals to downstream target genes. Specifically, I will describe the evolutionary steady states and the evolutionary pathways involved, along with their timescales, of a system that initially undergoes a transcription factor duplication event. To connect this important theoretical model to the prominent biological event of transcription factor duplication giving rise to paralogous families, I will then describe a bioinformatics analysis of C2H2 Zn-finger transcription factors, a major family in humans, and focus on the patterns of evolution that paralogs have undergone in their various protein domains in the recent past.

In hybrid zones, the outcomes and dynamics of hybridization are usually interpreted as the balance between gene flow and selection against hybrids. Yet, mating systems can introduce selective forces that alter these expectations; with diverse outcomes for the level and direction of gene flow depending on variation in outcrossing and whether the mating systems of the species pair are the same or divergent. We present a survey of hybridization in 133 species pairs from 41 plant families and examine how patterns of hybridization vary with mating system. We examine if hybrid zone mode, level of gene flow, asymmetries in gene flow and the frequency of reproductive isolating barriers vary in relation to mating system/s of the species pair. We combine these results with a simulation model and examples from the literature to address two general themes: (i) the two‐way interaction between introgression and the evolution of reproductive systems, and (ii) how mating system can facilitate or restrict interspecific gene flow. We conclude that examining mating system with hybridization provides unique opportunities to understand divergence and the processes underlying reproductive isolation.' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Melinda full_name: Pickup, Melinda id: 2C78037E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Pickup orcid: 0000-0001-6118-0541 - first_name: Nicholas H full_name: Barton, Nicholas H id: 4880FE40-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Barton orcid: 0000-0002-8548-5240 - first_name: Yaniv full_name: Brandvain, Yaniv last_name: Brandvain - first_name: Christelle full_name: Fraisse, Christelle id: 32DF5794-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Fraisse orcid: 0000-0001-8441-5075 - first_name: Sarah full_name: Yakimowski, Sarah last_name: Yakimowski - first_name: Tanmay full_name: Dixit, Tanmay last_name: Dixit - first_name: Christian full_name: Lexer, Christian last_name: Lexer - first_name: Eva full_name: Cereghetti, Eva id: 71AA91B4-05ED-11EA-8BEB-F5833E63BD63 last_name: Cereghetti - first_name: David full_name: Field, David id: 419049E2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Field orcid: 0000-0002-4014-8478 citation: ama: 'Pickup M, Barton NH, Brandvain Y, et al.

If a mutation has opposite effects on fitness when expressed in different contexts, then genetic conflict arises. Pleiotropic conflict is expected to reduce the efficacy of selection by limiting the fixation of beneficial mutations through adaptation, and the removal of deleterious mutations through purifying selection. Although this has been widely discussed, in particular in the context of a putative “gender load,” it has yet to be systematically quantified. In this work, we empirically estimate to which extent different pleiotropic regimes impede the efficacy of selection in Drosophila melanogaster. We use whole-genome polymorphism data from a single African population and divergence data from D. simulans to estimate the fraction of adaptive fixations (α), the rate of adaptation (ωA), and the direction of selection (DoS). After controlling for confounding covariates, we find that the different pleiotropic regimes have a relatively small, but significant, effect on selection efficacy. Specifically, our results suggest that pleiotropic sexual antagonism may restrict the efficacy of selection, but that this conflict can be resolved by limiting the expression of genes to the sex where they are beneficial. Intermediate levels of pleiotropy across tissues and life stages can also lead to maladaptation in D. melanogaster, due to inefficient purifying selection combined with low frequency of mutations that confer a selective advantage. Thus, our study highlights the need to consider the efficacy of selection in the context of antagonistic pleiotropy, and of genetic conflict in general. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Christelle full_name: Fraisse, Christelle id: 32DF5794-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Fraisse orcid: 0000-0001-8441-5075 - first_name: Gemma full_name: Puixeu Sala, Gemma id: 33AB266C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Puixeu Sala orcid: 0000-0001-8330-1754 - first_name: Beatriz full_name: Vicoso, Beatriz id: 49E1C5C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Vicoso orcid: 0000-0002-4579-8306 citation: ama: Fraisse C, Puixeu Sala G, Vicoso B.

The molecular recognition of ligands by surface receptors is degenerate in many systems, leading to crosstalk between ligand-receptor pairs. Crosstalk is often thought of as a deviation from optimal specific recognition, as the binding of noncognate ligands can interfere with the detection of the receptor's cognate ligand, possibly leading to a false triggering of a downstream signaling pathway. Here we quantify the optimal precision of sensing the concentrations of multiple ligands by a collection of promiscuous receptors. We demonstrate that crosstalk can improve precision in concentration sensing and discrimination tasks. To achieve superior precision, the additional information about ligand concentrations contained in short binding events of the noncognate ligand should be exploited. We present a proofreading scheme to realize an approximate estimation of multiple ligand concentrations that reaches a precision close to the derived optimal bounds. Our results help rationalize the observed ubiquity of receptor crosstalk in molecular sensing. article_number: '022423' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Martín full_name: Carballo-Pacheco, Martín last_name: Carballo-Pacheco - first_name: Jonathan full_name: Desponds, Jonathan last_name: Desponds - first_name: Tatyana full_name: Gavrilchenko, Tatyana last_name: Gavrilchenko - first_name: Andreas full_name: Mayer, Andreas last_name: Mayer - first_name: Roshan full_name: Prizak, Roshan id: 4456104E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Prizak - first_name: Gautam full_name: Reddy, Gautam last_name: Reddy - first_name: Ilya full_name: Nemenman, Ilya last_name: Nemenman - first_name: Thierry full_name: Mora, Thierry last_name: Mora citation: ama: Carballo-Pacheco M, Desponds J, Gavrilchenko T, et al.
