Methane yield phenotypes linked to differential gene expression in the sheep rumen microbiome
Open accessAbstract
Ruminant livestock represent the single largest anthropogenic source of the potent greenhouse gas methane, which is generated by methanogenic archaea residing in ruminant digestive tracts. While differences between individual animals of the same breed in the amount of methane produced have been observed, the basis for this variation remains to be elucidated. To explore the mechanistic basis of this methane production, we measured methane yields from 22 sheep, which revealed that methane yields are a reproducible, quantitative trait. Deep metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing demonstrated a similar abundance of methanogens and methanogenesis pathway genes in high and low methane emitters. However, transcription of methanogenesis pathway genes was substantially increased in sheep with high methane yields. These results identify a discrete set of rumen methanogens whose methanogenesis pathway transcription profiles correlate with methane yields and provide new targets for CH4 mitigation at the levels of microbiota composition and transcriptional regulation.

In the citing paper
“However, the previous study indicated that it was gene expression rather than gene abundance of methanogens that was strongly correlated with CH4 yields from sheep (Shi et al., 2014).”

In the citing paper
“This level of data integration has provided some novel insights missed by either approach alone, such as by Shi et al. (2014) who demonstrated that differences in methane production were not due to differences in the abundances of the genes responsible, but rather a result of their differential expression.”

“Subsequently, metagenomics has been used to study many aspects of rumen microbiology, including methane emissions in cattle (Wallace et al., 2015) and sheep (Shi et al., 2014), biomarkers to predict ruminal methanogenesis (Auffret et al., 2017b), the effect of feed-conversion-ratio, and breed and host genetics on the composition of the rumen microbiome (Roehe et al., 2016), nutrient acquisition (M”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
