Abstract
Genome duplication supplies raw genetic materials and has been thought to be essential for evolutionary innovation and ecological adaptation. Here, we select Kelch-like (klhl) genes to study the evolution of the duplicated genes in the polyploid Carassius complex, including amphidiploid C. auratus and amphitriploid C. gibelio. Phylogenetic, chromosomal location and read coverage analyses indicate that most of Carassius klhl genes exhibit a 2:1 relationship with zebrafish orthologs and confirm two rounds of polyploidy, an allotetraploidy followed by an autotriploidy, occurred during Carassius evolution. The lineage-specific expansion and biased retention/loss of klhl genes are also found in Carassius. Transcriptome analyses across eight adult tissues and seven embryogenesis stages reveal varied expression dominance and divergence between the two species. The expression of klhls in response to Carassius herpesvirus 2 infection shows different expression changes corresponding to distinct herpesvirus resistances in three C. gibelio gynogenetic clones. Finally, we find that most C. gibelio klhl genes possess three alleles except eight genes that have lost one or two alleles due to genome rearrangement. The allele expression bias is prosperous for Cgklhl genes and varies during embryogenesis owning to the sequential expression manner of the alleles. The current study provides global insights into the genomic and transcriptional evolution of duplicated genes in a given superfamily resulting from multiple rounds of polyploidization.
