The South Pacific is a region of incredible biological, cultural and linguistic diversity, reflecting its early settlement by human populations. It has been a region of interest to scholars because of this diversity, as well as its unique geography and settlement history. Current evidence suggests there was an initial settlement of Near Oceania during the Pleistocene by Papuan-speaking foragers, followed by a later Holocene settlement of Remote Oceania by Oceanic-speaking agriculturalists. Previous studies of human biological variation have been used to illuminate the migration history of and population relationships within Oceania. In this study, I analyzed Y-chromosome (NRY) diversity in 842 unrelated males to more fully characterize the phylogeography of paternal genetic lineages in this region, using a large number of regionally informative markers on an intensive sample set from Northern Island Melanesia. This approach facilitated an analysis of NRY haplogroup distributions, an evaluation of the ancestral paternal genetic contribution to the region, and a comparison of regional NRY diversity with that observed at different genetic loci (e.g., mtDNA). This project is part of a collaborative effort by faculty and graduate students from the Temple University Department of Anthropology that focused on characterizing biological variation and genetic structure in Melanesia, and better resolving the phylogeographic specificity of Northern Island Melanesia. Overall, this study generated a higher resolution view of NRY haplogroup variation than detected in previous studies through the use of newly defined and very informative SNP markers. It also showed that there is a very small ancestral East Asian paternal contribution to this area, and a rather large proportion of older Melanesian NRY lineages present there. In addition, this study observed extraordinary NRY diversity within Northern Island Melanesia, as well as genetic structure influenced more by geography than linguistic variation. This structure and diversity was essentially equivalent to that noted for mtDNA data for this region. Finally, this study helped to resolve questions about the placement of the 50f2/c deletion within the larger NRY tree. Overall, this work has refined our understanding of the migration and demographic history of Northern Island Melanesia.

Full textSecondary metabolites are organic compounds that are not directly involved in the key processes (growth, reproduction and development) of an organism. They are commonly targeted in pharmaceutical science for drug discovery. Secondary metabolites that have been used in drug discovery have been derived from plants, invertebrates and microbes. Microbes, bacteria in particular, have contributed greatly and will continue to play an important role in new drug discovery. Among the bacteria from all environments, marine bacteria are a vast reservoir for many potential useful bioactive compounds. Recent studies using marine bacteria for pharmaceutical use mainly focused on the bacteria collected from near-shore sediments. However, bacteria from deep-sea sediments remain unexplored. The South Pacific Gyre (SPG) is the most oligotrophic region of the world ocean. Due to the low surface productivity and distance from land, sediments below the gyre accumulate very slowly and are characterized by very low organic carbon content and relatively high dissolved oxygen concentrations. Sediments from South Pacific Gyre were found to host a living microbial community that, compared to other marine sediments, contains very low microbial biomass and very low metabolic activity. Thus, the goal of this study is to: (1) document the cultivatable bacterial diversity; and (2) explore the pharmaceutical potential of deep-sea bacteria from South Pacific Gyre sediment. To address this, bacteria were isolated in pure culture from sediments from seven sites of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 329 in the South Pacific Gyre. 16S rRNA genes from 81 bacterial isolates throughout six SPG sites (U1366, U1367, U1368, U1369, U1370 and U1371) were sequenced for phylogenetic analysis using the RDP (Ribosomal Database Project). 16S rRNA genes were amplified with bacterial primers that have been proven to amplify bacterial sequences well (27F, 1392R). Whole genomes from nine Rhodococcus isolates (with two duplicates) throughout four SPG sites (U1366, U1367, U1370 and U1371) were sequenced for secondary metabolites gene clusters discovery. By using antiSMASH (antibiotics & Secondary Metabolite Analysis SHell), secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters in the bacterial genome were identified, annotated and analyzed. Of the 81 16S rRNA gene clone libraries constructed, most of the clones (63%) affiliated with the genus Bacillus, 35.8% were affiliated with the genus Rhodococcus and one clone was identified as a Corynebacterium. The phylogenetic tree further indicated that all the Rhodococci were identified as Rhodococcus erythropolis. By using antiSMASH to look for the secondary metabolites gene clusters from the Rhodococcus genomes, many gene clusters, most of which were NPRS and PKS, were found in the genomes. This study suggests that deep-sea sediments harbor bacteria with the potential to produce pharmaceutically important secondary metabolites.
