Analysis of the complete Fischoederius elongatus (Paramphistomidae, Trematoda) mitochondrial genome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fischoederius elongates is an important trematode of Paramphistomes in ruminants. Animals infected with F. elongates often don't show obvious symptoms, so it is easy to be ignored. However it can cause severe economic losses to the breeding industry. Knowledge of the mitochondrial genome of F. elongates can be used for phylogenetic and epidemiological studies.

Findings

The complete mt genome sequence of F. elongates is 14,120 bp in length and contains 12 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and two non-coding regions (LNR and SNR). The gene arrangement of F. elongates is the same as other trematodes, such as Fasciola hepatica and Paramphistomum cervi. Phylogenetic analyses using concatenated amino acid sequences of the 12 protein-coding genes by Maximum-likelihood and Neighbor-joining analysis method showed that F. elongates was closely related to P. cervi.

Conclusion

The complete mt genome sequence of F. elongates should provide information for phylogenetic and epidemiological studies for F. elongates and the family Paramphistomidae.

Project description:Zizania latifolia (Griseb.) Turcz. ex Stapf has been cultivated as a popular aquatic vegetable in China due to its important nutritional, medicinal, ecological, and economic values. The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Z. latifolia has not been previously studied and reported, which has hindered its molecular systematics and understanding of evolutionary processes. Here, we assembled the complete mitogenome of Z. latifolia and performed a comprehensive analysis including genome organization, repetitive sequences, RNA editing event, intercellular gene transfer, phylogenetic analysis, and comparative mitogenome analysis. The mitogenome of Z. latifolia was estimated to have a circular molecule of 392,219 bp and 58 genes consisting of three rRNA genes, 20 tRNA genes, and 35 protein-coding genes (PCGs). There were 46 and 20 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) with different motifs identified from the mitogenome and chloroplast genome of Z. latifolia, respectively. Furthermore, 49 homologous fragments were observed to transfer from the chloroplast genome to the mitogenome of Z. latifolia, accounting for 47,500 bp, presenting 12.1% of the whole mitogenome. In addition, there were 11 gene-containing homologous regions between the mitogenome and chloroplast genome of Z. latifolia. Also, approximately 85% of fragments from the mitogenome were duplicated in the Z. latifolia nuclear genome. Selection pressure analysis revealed that most of the mitochondrial genes were highly conserved except for ccmFc, ccmFn, matR, rps1, and rps3. A total of 93 RNA editing sites were found in the PCGs of the mitogenome. Z. latifolia and Oryza minuta are the most closely related, as shown by collinear analysis and the phylogenetic analysis. We found that repeat sequences and foreign sequences in the mitogenomes of Oryzoideae plants were associated with genome rearrangements. In general, the availability of the Z. latifolia mitogenome will contribute valuable information to our understanding of the molecular and genomic aspects of Zizania.
