Abstract
Transposable elements constitute a large portion of most eukaryotic genomes and play an important role in transcriptional regulation, shaping gene regulatory networks and genome evolution. Due to a lack of quality genome assemblies of non-model organisms, not much is known about the diversity, distribution and the role of transposable elements across Metazoa. In this thesis I present high quality genome assemblies for the sponge species Eunapius subterraneus and Suberites domuncula. I use computational genomics techniques to identify, characterize and compare transposable elements in the publicly available sponge genomes and in-house assembled genomes by analysing the abundance and conservation of the transposable elements in different sponge species. I assess the impact of transposable elements on the evolution of the host genomes by analysing their contribution to genome organization and correlation with gene expression. Finally, I present a catalog of the homologs of piRNA pathway in sponges and analyse their transcriptional activity.
Abstract (english)
Prijenosni genetički elementi (transpozoni) sačinjavaju velik dio većine eukariotskih genoma i igraju važnu ulogu u regulaciji transkripcije, oblikovanju regulatornih mreža gena i evoluciji genoma. Zbog nedostatka kvalitetno sklopljenih genoma ne-modelnih organizama, ne zna se mnogo o raznolikosti, rasprostranjenosti i ulozi transpozona u skupini Metazoa. U ovom radu predstavljam visokokvalitetne sklopove genoma za vrste spužva Eunapius subterraneus i Suberites domuncula. Korištenjem tehnika računalne genomike identificiram, karakteriziram i uspoređujem pokretne elemente u javno dostupnim genomima spužvi i interno skupljenim genomima analizom brojnosti i očuvanja transpozona u različitim vrstama spužvi. Procjenjujem utjecaj transpozona na evoluciju genoma domaćina analizom njihovog doprinosa u organizaciji genoma i povezanosti s ekspresijom gena. Na kraju predstavljam katalog homologa piRNA puta u spužvama i analiziram njihovu transkripcijsku aktivnost.
