The mitochondrial genome of the deep-sea pyramid urchin Echinocrepis rostrata (Echinoidea: Holasteroida: Pourtalesiidae).

ABSTRACT: We present the mitochondrial genome of the deep-sea, epibenthic, irregular echinoid Echinocrepis rostrata, representing the first sequenced mitogenome of the order Holasteroida. The length of the complete E. rostrata mitochondrial genome is 15,716 base pairs, and its GC content is 34.87%. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes, whose order is identical to that of all other available echinoid mitogenomes. Phylogenetic analysis of available mitochondrial genomes, based on all coding loci, places E. rostrata as the sister group to spatangoids (heart urchins).

Complete mitochondrial genome of the phenotypically-diverse sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius (Strongylocentrotidae, Echinoidea).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genomes are sequenced in two individuals representing two morphological forms, 'usual' (U) and 'gray' (G), of the short-spined sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius. The genome sequences are 15,705 bp in size, and the gene arrangement, composition, and size are very similar to the other sea urchin mitochondrial genomes published previously. A low level of sequence divergence (D xy = 0.0083 ± 0.0007) is detected between the forms. The GenBank (KC490912) mt genome of S. intermedius is much closer to the U form (D xy = 0.0013 ± 0.0003) than to the G form (D xy = 0.0085 ± 0.0006), demonstrating unique evolutionary trajectories for each form, which we previously suggested based on the bindin gene and symbiont analyses.

Systematic comparison and reconstruction of sea urchin (Echinoidea) internal anatomy: a novel approach using magnetic resonance imaging.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Traditional comparative morphological analyses and subsequent three-dimensional reconstructions suffer from a number of drawbacks. This is particularly evident in the case of soft tissue studies that are technically demanding, time-consuming, and often prone to produce artefacts. These problems can partly be overcome by employing non-invasive, destruction-free imaging techniques, in particular micro-computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: Here, we employed high-field magnetic resonance imaging techniques to gather numerous data from members of a major marine invertebrate taxon, the sea urchins (Echinoidea). For this model study, 13 of the 14 currently recognized high-ranking subtaxa (orders) of this group of animals were analyzed. Based on the acquired datasets, interactive three-dimensional models were assembled. Our analyses reveal that selected soft tissue characters can even be used for phylogenetic inferences in sea urchins, as exemplified by differences in the size and shape of the gastric caecum found in the Irregularia. CONCLUSION: The main focus of our investigation was to explore the possibility to systematically visualize the internal anatomy of echinoids obtained from various museum collections. We show that, in contrast to classical preparative procedures, magnetic resonance imaging can give rapid, destruction-free access to morphological data from numerous specimens, thus extending the range of techniques available for comparative studies of invertebrate morphology.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the sea urchin, Echinometra sp. EZ.

Project description:The complete mitogenome of Echinometra sp. EZ has been described and fully annotated in this study. Phylogenetic analysis of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) from six Echinometra species confirms that our sample is E. sp. EZ. The mitogenome is 15,698 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a non-coding region with an identical organization to other Echinoidea. The E. sp. EZ mitogenome shared ∼99.1% identity to the published Echinometra mathaei mitogenome, differing by 147 SNPs. The E. sp. EZ mitogenome will serve as a resource that can be applied to disentangling the Echinometra species complex and to future population genetic studies of this ecologically important sea urchin species.

The mitochondrial genome of Tetrahymena rostrata.

Project description:Tetrahymena rostrata is a ciliated protist which can parasitize the gray field slug, Deroceras reticulatum. Here, we report the sequence of the mitochondrial genome (mt genome) of a strain of T. rostrata that was isolated from the egg of D. reticulatum. Whole cell genomic DNA was sequenced using Illumina® MiSeq and the mitochondrial DNA sequence reads were extracted and assembled. The resulting 47,235 bp assembly contained rRNAs, tRNAs, and 45 protein coding DNA sequences of which 21 encoded proteins of unknown function. Phylogenetic analysis showed T. rostrata clustered with Tetrahymena thermophila, Tetrahymena pigmentosa, Tetrahymena pyriformis, Tetrahymena paravorax, and Tetrahymena malaccensis.

Complete mitochondrial genomes of four deep-sea echinoids: conserved mitogenome organization and new insights into the phylogeny and evolution of Echinoidea.

Project description:Echinoids are an important component in benthic marine environments, which occur at all depths from the shallow-water hard substrates to abyssal depths. To date, the phylogeny of the sea urchins and the macro-evolutionary processes of deep-sea and shallow water groups have not yet been fully resolved. In the present study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of four deep-sea sea urchins (Echinoidea), which were the first representatives of the orders Aspidodiadematoida, Pedinoida and Echinothurioida, respectively. The gene content and arrangement were highly conserved in echinoid mitogenomes. The tRNA-Ser AGY with DHU arm was detected in the newly sequenced echinoid mitogenomes, representing an ancestral structure of tRNA-Ser AGY. No difference was found between deep-sea and shallow water groups in terms of base composition and codon usage. The phylogenetic analysis showed that all the orders except Spatangoida were monophyletic. The basal position of Cidaroida was supported. The closest relationship of Scutelloida and Echinolampadoida was confirmed. Our phylogenetic analysis shed new light on the position of Arbacioida, which supported that Arbacioida was most related with the irregular sea urchins instead of Stomopneustoida. The position Aspidodiadematoida (((Aspidodiadematoida + Pedinoida) + Echinothurioida) + Diadematoida) revealed by mitogenomic data discredited the hypothesis based on morphological evidences. The macro-evolutionary pattern revealed no simple onshore-offshore or an opposite hypothesis. But the basal position of the deep-sea lineages indicated the important role of deep sea in generating the current diversity of the class Echinoidea.

The genome of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus.

Project description:We report the sequence and analysis of the 814-megabase genome of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, a model for developmental and systems biology. The sequencing strategy combined whole-genome shotgun and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) sequences. This use of BAC clones, aided by a pooling strategy, overcame difficulties associated with high heterozygosity of the genome. The genome encodes about 23,300 genes, including many previously thought to be vertebrate innovations or known only outside the deuterostomes. This echinoderm genome provides an evolutionary outgroup for the chordates and yields insights into the evolution of deuterostomes.

Multiple introns in a deep-sea Annelid (Decemunciger: Ampharetidae) mitochondrial genome.

Project description:Wood falls provide episodic fluxes of energy to the sea floor that are degraded by a species-rich benthic fauna. Part of this rich diversity includes annelid polychaetes but unfortunately, our understanding of such fauna is limited and their genetic variability and evolutionary origins remain poorly known. In this study, we sequenced complete mitochondrial genomes from three congeneric Decemunciger (Ampharetidae) individuals that had colonized multiple wood falls in the deep (~1600 m) NE Pacific Ocean. Mitochondrial gene order within Decemunciger was similar to the three other available Terebellomorpha genomes, consistent with the relatively conserved nature of mitochondrial genomes within annelids. Unexpectedly, we found introns within the cox1, nad1 and nad4 genes of all three genomes assembled. This is the greatest number of introns observed in annelid mtDNA genomes, and possibly in bilaterians. Interestingly, the introns were of variable sizes suggesting possible evolutionary differences in the age and origins of introns. The sequence of the introns within cox1 is similar to Group II introns previously identified, suggesting that introns in the mitochondrial genome of annelids may be more widespread then realized. Phylogenetically, Decemunciger appears to be a sister clade among current vent and seep deep-sea Ampharetinae.

RNA deep sequencing reveals differential microRNA expression during development of sea urchin and sea star.

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are small (20-23 nt), non-coding single stranded RNA molecules that act as post-transcriptional regulators of mRNA gene expression. They have been implicated in regulation of developmental processes in diverse organisms. The echinoderms, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (sea urchin) and Patiria miniata (sea star) are excellent model organisms for studying development with well-characterized transcriptional networks. However, to date, nothing is known about the role of miRNAs during development in these organisms, except that the genes that are involved in the miRNA biogenesis pathway are expressed during their developmental stages. In this paper, we used Illumina Genome Analyzer (Illumina, Inc.) to sequence small RNA libraries in mixed stage population of embryos from one to three days after fertilization of sea urchin and sea star (total of 22,670,000 reads). Analysis of these data revealed the miRNA populations in these two species. We found that 47 and 38 known miRNAs are expressed in sea urchin and sea star, respectively, during early development (32 in common). We also found 13 potentially novel miRNAs in the sea urchin embryonic library. miRNA expression is generally conserved between the two species during development, but 7 miRNAs are highly expressed in only one species. We expect that our two datasets will be a valuable resource for everyone working in the field of developmental biology and the regulatory networks that affect it. The computational pipeline to analyze Illumina reads is available at http://www.benoslab.pitt.edu/services.html.

The first complete mitochondrial genome of the sand dollar Sinaechinocyamus mai (Echinoidea: Clypeasteroida).

Project description:Morphologic and molecular data often lead to different hypotheses of phylogenetic relationships. Such incongruence has been found in the echinoderm class Echinoidea. In particular, the phylogenetic status of the order Clypeasteroida is not well resolved. Complete mitochondrial genomes are currently available for 29 echinoid species, but no clypeasteroid had been sequenced to date. DNA extracted from a single live individual of Sinaechinocyamus mai was sequenced with 10× Genomics technology. This first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) for the order Clypeasteroida is 15,756 base pairs in length. Phylogenomic analysis based on 34 ingroup taxa belonging to nine orders of the class Echinoidea show congruence between our new genetic inference and published trees based on morphologic characters, but also includes some intriguing differences that imply the need for additional investigation.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the tropical sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla (Linnaeus, 1758) with two spine colors.

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genomes of two spine-color individuals, red and white, of the tropical sea urchin species Tripneustes gratilla (Linnaeus, 1758) were sequenced on Illumina system platform. The red-spined species had a genome size of 15,774 bp, while the white-spined species had a genome size of 15,723 bp. Both genomes contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The GC composition in both species was above 40%. In order to investigate the phylogenetic relationships of two different spine-color individuals, a comprehensive analysis was conducted using eight complete mitochondrial genomic sequences of the genus Tripneustes on the software MEGA X. It was observed that the two spine color types of T. gratilla species showed a high similarity of 98.91%. However, different color-spined species of T. gratilla were found in separate branches of the phylogenetic tree of the same sea urchin species.
