Data on SSR markers and SNPs filtered from transcriptome of Parvocalanus crassirostris.

ABSTRACT: Calanoid copepod populations are being severely affected due to the effects of ocean acidification (OA) and ocean warming (OW). These marine organisms are the most abundant primary consumers contributing significantly in the marine food web. Any effect on the abundance and diversity of copepods due to climate change is likely to have serious implications on the marine ecosystem functioning. Molecular studies that play a vital role in assessing the genetic changes under the influence of environmental imbalances are completely lacking for this species. Here we report the genetic variations in three generations of copepods through transcriptome sequencing. RNA sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSeq platform employing the 2 × 100 bp paired-end chemistry. Approximately, 10GB of data was obtained for all the samples. The raw sequences were assembled through Trinity 2.6.6 and mined for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and simple sequence repeats (SSRs). MIcroSAtellite Identification Tool (MISA) was used for SSR detection and Primer 3 (v 3.0) was utilized to design short oligonucleotide primers (18-20 mers). A total of 15,222 SSRs were identified and 28,944 primer pairs were designed against these motifs. The transcriptome possessed 413,890 SNPs at a frequency of 2.8 per kb. The newly discovered SSRs and SNPs could act as genetic markers for future studies on genetic diversity and conservation for Parvocalanus crassirostris.

Project description:BackgroundBlunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) is an herbivorous freshwater fish species native to China and has been recognized as a main aquaculture species in the Chinese freshwater polyculture system with high economic value. Right now, only limited EST resources were available for M. amblycephala. Recent advances in large-scale RNA sequencing provide a fast, cost-effective, and reliable approach to generate large expression datasets for functional genomic analysis, which is especially suitable for non-model species with un-sequenced genomes.Methodology and principal findingsUsing 454 pyrosequencing, a total of 1,409,706 high quality reads (total length 577 Mbp) were generated from the normalized cDNA of pooled M. amblycephala individuals. These sequences were assembled into 26,802 contigs and 73,675 singletons. After BLAST searches against the NCBI non-redundant (NR) and UniProt databases with an arbitrary expectation value of E(-10), over 40,000 unigenes were functionally annotated and classified using the FunCat functional annotation scheme. A comparative genomics approach revealed a substantial proportion of genes expressed in M. amblycephala tanscriptome to be shared across the genomes of zebrafish, medaka, tetraodon, fugu, stickleback, human, mouse, and chicken, and identified a substantial number of potentially novel M. amblycephala genes. A total number of 4,952 SSRs were found and 116 polymorphic loci have been characterized. A significant number of SNPs (25,697) and indels (23,287) were identified based on specific filter criteria in the M. amblycephala.ConclusionsThis study is the first comprehensive transcriptome analysis for a fish species belonging to the genus Megalobrama. These large EST resources are expected to be valuable for the development of molecular markers, construction of gene-based linkage map, and large-scale expression analysis of M. amblycephala, as well as comparative genome analysis for the genus Megalobrama fish species. The identified SSR and SNP markers will greatly benefit its breeding program and whole genome association studies.
