The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a prime model for insect genetics, and while conservation of many gene functions has been observed among bilaterian animals, a plethora of data show evolutionary divergence of gene function among more closely-related groups, such as within the insects. A quantification of conservation versus divergence of gene functions has been missing, without which it is unclear how representative data from model systems actually are.\r\n \r\n \r\n Results\r\n Here, we systematically compare the gene sets required for a number of homologous but divergent developmental processes between fly and beetle in order to quantify the difference of the gene sets. To that end, we expanded our RNAi screen in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum to cover more than half of the protein-coding genes. Then we compared the gene sets required for four different developmental processes between beetle and fly. We found that around 50% of the gene functions were identified in the screens of both species while for the rest, phenotypes were revealed only in fly (~ 10%) or beetle (~ 40%) reflecting both technical and biological differences. Accordingly, we were able to annotate novel developmental GO terms for 96 genes studied in this work. With this work, we publish the final dataset for the pupal injection screen of the iBeetle screen reaching a coverage of 87% (13,020 genes).\r\n \r\n \r\n Conclusions\r\n We conclude that the gene sets required for a homologous process diverge more than widely believed. Hence, the insights gained in flies may be less representative for insects or protostomes than previously thought, and work in complementary model systems is required to gain a comprehensive picture. The RNAi screening resources developed in this project, the expanding transgenic toolkit, and our large-scale functional data make T. castaneum an excellent model system in that endeavor."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2022"],["dc.identifier.citation","BMC Biology. 2022 Feb 08;20(1):38"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s12915-022-01231-4"],["dc.identifier.pii","1231"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/106084"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/112934"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-530"],["dc.publisher","BioMed Central"],["dc.relation.eissn","1741-7007"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.holder","The Author(s)"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject","Gene function"],["dc.subject","Comparative genomics"],["dc.subject","RNAi screen"],["dc.subject","iBeetle"],["dc.subject","Tribolium castaneum"],["dc.subject","Drosophila melanogaster"],["dc.subject","Divergence of gene function"],["dc.subject","iBeetle-Base"],["dc.subject","FlyBase"],["dc.title","Screens in fly and beetle reveal vastly divergent gene sets required for developmental processes"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

However, for technical reasons, comprehensive screens have been restricted to very few model organisms. Therefore, although deep sequencing is revealing the genes of ever more insect species, the functional studies predominantly focus on candidate genes previously identified in Drosophila, which is biasing research towards conserved gene functions. RNAi screens in other organisms promise to reduce this bias. Here we present the results of the iBeetle screen, a large-scale, unbiased RNAi screen in the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, which identifies gene functions in embryonic and postembryonic development, physiology and cell biology. The utility of Tribolium as a screening platform is demonstrated by the identification of genes involved in insect epithelial adhesion.
