Cyprinids, the largest and most economically significant family of teleosts, comprise over 600 polyploid species, whose genomic complexity presents challenges in deciphering the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity. In this study, we generated high-quality haplotype-resolved genomes for two representative Cyprinidae allopolyploids (Cyprinus rubrofuscus and Sinocyclocheilus grahami) by constructing the diploid genome of their hybrid (C. rubrofuscus ♀ × S. grahami ♂, CRSG). The haplotype assembly for C. rubrofuscus contained 50 chromosomes (1.5 Gb, scaffold N50 = 29.64 Mb), while S. grahami contained 48 chromosomes (1.8 Gb, scaffold N50 = 36.04 Mb). Genomic analyses refined the ancestral divergence times and provided new insights into chromosomal fusion events, gene family expansions and contractions, and positively selected genes driving phenotypic divergence between the two species. Comparative analysis of economic traits and gene expression in C. rubrofuscus, S. grahami, and their reciprocal hybrids identified several key genes associated with enhanced growth (e.g., OXPHOS-related genes), optimized fatty acid composition (e.g., tecr, acot1, acsl1, cpt2), and hybrid sterility (e.g., cyp19a1, wt1, dmrtb1). Notably, parental haplotype dominance of those genes were observed, haplotype genes derived from C. rubrofuscus (CR-Hg) predominantly contributed to the accelerated growth of reciprocal hybrids, exhibiting significantly higher expression levels of OXPHOS-related genes compared to those derived from S. grahami (SG-Hg). Conversely, SG-Hg played a central role in optimizing fatty acid composition in CRSG, with genes involved in polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis and degradation showing markedly higher expression levels than their CR-Hg counterparts. Parental haplotype genes both regulated the sterility of CRSG, as no significant differences were observed between CR-Hg and SG-Hg in the sex differentiation and meiotic disorder-related genes. This study highlight the potential of C. rubrofuscus and S. grahami as genetic resources for developing hybrids with improved growth rates and optimized fatty acid profiles, provide valuable genomic resources and theoretical insights for aquaculture breeding.
鲤科鱼类是硬骨鱼中最大且在经济上最重要的科,包含600多种多倍体物种,其基因组复杂性给解读表型多样性的遗传基础带来了挑战。在本研究中,我们通过构建其杂交种(红棕鲤♀×滇池金线鲃♂,CRSG)的二倍体基因组,为两种代表性鲤科异源多倍体(红棕鲤和滇池金线鲃)生成了高质量的单倍型解析基因组。红棕鲤的单倍型组装包含50条染色体(1.5 Gb,支架N50 = 29.64 Mb),而滇池金线鲃包含48条染色体(1.8 Gb,支架N50 = 36.04 Mb)。基因组分析细化了祖先分化时间,并为染色体融合事件、基因家族扩张和收缩以及驱动这两个物种表型分化的正选择基因提供了新的见解。对红棕鲤、滇池金线鲃及其正反交杂种的经济性状和基因表达进行比较分析,确定了几个与生长增强相关的关键基因(如氧化磷酸化相关基因)、优化脂肪酸组成相关基因(如tecr、acot1、acsl1、cpt2)和杂种不育相关基因(如cyp19a1、wt1、dmrtb1)。值得注意的是,观察到这些基因的亲本单倍型优势,来自红棕鲤的单倍型基因(CR-Hg)主要促进了正反交杂种的加速生长,与来自滇池金线鲃的单倍型基因(SG-Hg)相比,氧化磷酸化相关基因的表达水平显著更高。相反,SG-Hg在优化CRSG的脂肪酸组成中起核心作用,参与多不饱和脂肪酸生物合成和降解的基因表达水平明显高于其CR-Hg对应基因。亲本单倍型基因都调节了CRSG的不育性,因为在性别分化和减数分裂紊乱相关基因方面,CR-Hg和SG-Hg之间未观察到显著差异。本研究突出了红棕鲤和滇池金线鲃作为开发具有提高生长速率和优化脂肪酸谱的杂种的遗传资源的潜力,为水产养殖育种提供了有价值的基因组资源和理论见解。
