Dataset Information

The complete mitochondrial genome of Pink warty sea cucumber (Cercodemas anceps Selenka, 1867).

ABSTRACT: In this study, we sequenced the circular mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Cercodemas anceps. This genome was determined to measure 16,539 bp in length and contain 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes. The longest gene was observed to be nad5, which measures 1,641 bp in length and is located at position 6,540 ∼ 8,180 of the C. anceps mitogenome. One PCG, nad6, and five tRNA genes (tRNA^Ser(UCN) , tRNA^Gln , tRNA^Ala , tRNA^Val, and tRNA^Asp ) were located on the light chain, and the other genes were located on the heavy chain. A phylogenetic tree was constructed with the mitogenome sequences of 26 types of echinoderm species, and the results show that C. anceps is most closely related to C. quadrangularis.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Sea cucumbers are a special group of marine invertebrates. They occupy a taxonomic position that is believed to be important for understanding the origin and evolution of deuterostomes. Some of them such as Apostichopus japonicus represent commercially important aquaculture species in Asian countries. Many efforts have been devoted to increasing the number of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) for A. japonicus, but a comprehensive characterization of its transcriptome remains lacking. Here, we performed the large-scale transcriptome profiling and characterization by pyrosequencing diverse cDNA libraries from A. japonicus. RESULTS: In total, 1,061,078 reads were obtained by 454 sequencing of eight cDNA libraries representing different developmental stages and adult tissues in A. japonicus. These reads were assembled into 29,666 isotigs, which were further clustered into 21,071 isogroups. Nearly 40% of the isogroups showed significant matches to known proteins based on sequence similarity. Gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analyses recovered diverse biological functions and processes. Candidate genes that were potentially involved in aestivation were identified. Transcriptome comparison with the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus revealed similar patterns of GO term representation. In addition, 4,882 putative orthologous genes were identified, of which 202 were not present in the non-echinoderm organisms. More than 700 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and 54,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected in the A. japonicus transcriptome. CONCLUSION: Pyrosequencing was proven to be efficient in rapidly identifying a large set of genes for the sea cucumber A. japonicus. Through the large-scale transcriptome sequencing as well as public EST data integration, we performed a comprehensive characterization of the A. japonicus transcriptome and identified candidate aestivation-related genes. A large number of potential genetic markers were also identified from the A. japonicus transcriptome. This transcriptome resource would lay an important foundation for future genetic or genomic studies on this species.
