Genome-wide sexually antagonistic variants reveal longstanding constraints on sexual dimorphism in the fruitfly
The evolution of sexual dimorphism is constrained by a shared genome, leading to ‘sexual antagonism’ where different alleles at given loci are favoured by selection in males and females. Despite its wide taxonomic incidence, we know little about the identity, genomic location and evolutionary dynamics of antagonistic genetic variants. To address these deficits, we use sex-specific fitness data from 202 fully sequenced hemiclonalD. melanogasterfly lines to perform a genome-wide association study of sexual antagonism. We identify ~230 chromosomal clusters of candidate antagonistic SNPs. In contradiction to classic theory, we find no clear evidence that the X chromosome is a hotspot for sexually antagonistic variation. Characterising antagonistic SNPs functionally, we find a large excess of missense variants but little enrichment in terms of gene function. We also assess the evolutionary persistence of antagonistic variants by examining extant polymorphism in wildD. melanogasterpopulations. Remarkably, antagonistic variants are associated with multiple signatures of balancing selection across theD. melanogasterdistribution range, indicating widespread and evolutionarily persistent (>10,000 years) genomic constraints. Based on our results, we propose that antagonistic variation accumulates due to constraints on the resolution of sexual conflict over protein coding sequences, thus contributing to the long-term maintenance of heritable fitness variation..
