There are three groups of extant mammals, two of which abound in Australia. Marsupials (kangaroos
and their relatives) and monotremes (echidna and the fabulous platypus) have been evolving inde-
pendently for most of mammalian history. The genomes of marsupial and monotreme mammals are
particularly valuable because these alternative mammals fill a phylogenetic gap in vertebrate species
lined up for exhaustive genomic study. Human and mice (w70MY) are too close to distinguish signal,
whereas mammalibird comparisons ( ~ 3 1 0 M Y )are too distant to allow alignment. Kangaroos (180
MY) and platypus (210 MY) are just right. Sequence has diverged sufficiently for stringent detec-
tion of homologies that can reveal coding regions and regulatory signals. Importantly, marsupials and
monotremes share with humans many mammal-specific developmental pathways and regulatory sys-
tems such as sex determination, lactation and X chromosome inactivation.
The ARC Centre for Kangaroo Genomics is characterizing the genome of the model Australian
kangaroo Macropus eugenii (the tammar wallaby), which is being sequenced by AGRF in Australia,
and Baylor (funded by NIH) in the US. We are developing detailed physical and linkage maps of
the genome to complement sequencing, and will prepare and array cDNAs for functional studies,
especially of reproduction and development. Complete sequencing of the distantly related Brazilian
short-tailed opossum Monodelphis domestica by the NIH allows us to compare distantly related marsu-
pials. Sequencing of the genome of the platypus, Omithorhynchus anatinus by Washington University
(funded by the NIH) is complete, and our lab is anchoring contigs to the physical map. We have iso-
lated and completely characterized many BACs and cDNAs containing kangaroo and platypus genes
of interest, and demonstrate the value of comparisons to reveal conserved genome organization and
function, and new insights in the evolution of the mammalian genome, particularly sex chromosomes.

BUGS, GUTS AND FAT - A SYSTEMS APPROACH
TO THE METABOLIC ‘AXIS OF EVIL’
JOE NADEAU
Department of Genetics and Centerf o r Computational Genomics and Systems Biology
Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio,USA
Rapidly growing evidence suggests that complex and variable interactions between host genetic and
systems factors, diet, activity and lifestyle choices, and intestinal microbes control the incidence, sever-
ity and complexity of metabolic diseases. The dramatic increase in the world-wide incidence of these
diseases, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and fatty liver disease, raises the
need for new ways to maintain health despite inherited and environmental risks. We are pursuing a
comprehensive approach based on diet-induced models of metabolic disease. During the course of
these studies, new and challenging statistical, analytical and computational problems were discovered.
We pioneered a new paradigm for genetic studies based on chromosome substitution strains of labora-
tory mice. These strains involve systematically substituting each chromosome in a host strain with the
corresponding chromosome from a donor strain. A genome survey with these strains therefore involves
testing a panel of individual, distinct and non-overlapping genotypes, in contrast to conventional stud-
ies of heterogeneous populations. Studies of diet-induced metabolic disease with these strains have
already led to striking observations. We discovered that most traits are controlled by a many genetic
variants each of which has unexpectedly large phenotypic effects and that act in a highly non-additive
manner. The non-additive nature of these variants challenges conventional models of the architecture
of complex traits. At every level of resolution from the entire genome to very small genetic intervals,
we discovered comparable levels of genetic complexity, suggesting a fractal property of complex traits.
Another remarkable property of these large-effect variants is their ability to switch complex systems
between alternative phenotypic states such as obese to lean and high to low cholesterol, suggesting
that biological traits might be organized in a small number of stable states rather than continuous
variability. Moreover, by studying correlations between non-genetic variation in pairs of traits (the
genetic control of non-genetic variation), we discovered a new way to dissect the functional architec-
ture of biological systems. Finally, a neglected aspect of these studies of metabolic disease involves
the intestingal microbes. Early studies suggest that diet and host physiology affect the numbers and
kinds of microbes, and that these microbes in turn affect host metabolism. These interactions between
’bugs, guts and fat’ extend systems studies from conventional aspects of genetics and biology to pop-
ulation considerations of the functional interactions between hosts, diet and our microbial passengers.
With these models of diet-induced metabolic disease in chromosome substitution strains, we are now
positioned find ways to tip complex systems from disease to health.
