The first complete mitochondrial genome of Stomopneustes variolaris (Lamarck, 1816) from the Stomechinidae (Echinoidea: Stomopneustoida).

ABSTRACT: Sea urchins (Echinoidea) are key components of marine benthic communities and many are commercially important fishery resources as luxury and healthy seafood. However, despite their high ecological and economic value, the mitochondrial genomes of all sea urchins have yet to be analyzed. In this study, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome of Stomopneustidae from Stomopneustes variolaris. The mitogenome has 15,767 base pairs (59.77% A + T content) and contains 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs), plus a putative control region. This study provides useful molecular resources for clarifying evolutionary and phylogenetic histories of sea urchins.

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.

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.

De Novo Assembly of the Genome of the Sea Urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck 1816).

Project description:The Mediterranean purple sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck 1816) is a remarkable model system for molecular, evolutionary and cell biology studies, particularly in the field of developmental biology. We sequenced the genome, performed a de novo assembly, and analysed the assembly content. The genome of P. lividus was sequenced using Illumina NextSeq 500 System (Illumina) in a 2 × 150 paired-end format. More than 30,000 open reading frames (ORFs), (more than 8000 are unique), were identified and analysed to provide molecular tools accessible for the scientific community. In particular, several genes involved in complex innate immune responses, oxidative metabolism, signal transduction, and kinome, as well as genes regulating the membrane receptors, were identified in the P. lividus genome. In this way, the employment of the Mediterranean sea urchin for investigations and comparative analyses was empowered, leading to the explanation of cis-regulatory networks and their evolution in a key developmental model occupying an important evolutionary position with respect to vertebrates and humans.

The first complete mitochondrial genome of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.).

Project description:Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), an important oilseed crop, has garnered considerable interest. The nuclear and chloroplast genomes of sesame have been extensively applied to sesame genetics and genomics research. The mitochondrial (mt) genome of sesame, however, has not been sequenced and annotated. In order to solve this issue, we reconstructed the first mt genome of sesame using third-generation sequencing data. The sesame mt genome was 724,998 bp in size and had 22 circular chromosomes. A total of 66 genes were annotated, including 37 protein-coding genes, 26 transfer RNAs, and three ribosomal RNAs. We investigated the codon usage patterns, simple sequence repeats, long tandem repeats, and dispersed repeats of the sesame mt genome. Furthermore, we investigated the DNA transfer from chloroplast to mitochondrion and compared the sesame mt genome to two other Lamiales mt genomes. Given the economic importance of this crop, our presented sesame mt genome is a valuable genomic resource and will allow for more comprehensive studies on sesame and related species.

Complete mitochondrial DNA genome sequences from the first New Zealanders.

Project description:The dispersal of modern humans across the globe began ~65,000 y ago when people first left Africa and culminated with the settlement of East Polynesia, which occurred in the last 1,000 y. With the arrival of Polynesian canoes only 750 y ago, Aotearoa/New Zealand became the last major landmass to be permanently settled by humans. We present here complete mitochondrial genome sequences of the likely founding population of Aotearoa/New Zealand recovered from the archaeological site of Wairau Bar. These data represent complete mitochondrial genome sequences from ancient Polynesian voyagers and provide insights into the genetic diversity of human populations in the Pacific at the time of the settlement of East Polynesia.

The complete chloroplast genome of the medicinal plant Lysimachia mauritiana (Lamarck, 1792).

Project description:Lysimachia mauritiana Lam. (Primulaceae) is known as a medicinal plant with anti-tumor and anti-viral effects. In this study, we reported the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of L. mauritiana. The total length of the complete chloroplast genome was 152,691 bp, comprising a small-single copy region (SSC) of 17,928 bp, a large-single copy region of 83,811 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions of 25,476 bp. It contained 114 genes comprising 80 protein-coding genes, four rRNA, and 30 tRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis showed that a chloroplast genome of L. mauritiana was a sister to a monophyletic clade, including L. christinae, L. congestiflora, L. hemsleyana. Our study will help to provide basic information for further studies on phylogenetics and population genetics.

First Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Melyridae (Coleoptera, Cleroidea): Genome Description and Phylogenetic Implications.

Project description:To explore the characteristics of the mitogenome of Melyridae and reveal phylogenetic relationships, the mitogenome of Cordylepherus sp. was sequenced and annotated. This is the first time a complete mitochondrial genome has beengenerated in this family. Consistent with previous observations of Cleroidea species, the mitogenome of Cordylepherus sp. is highly conserved in gene size, organization and codon usage, and secondary structures oftRNAs. All protein-coding genes(PCGs) initiate withthe standard start codon ATN,except ND1, which starts with TTG, and terminate with the complete stop codons of TAA and TAG, or incomplete forms, TA- and T-. MosttRNAs have the typical clover-leaf structure, except trnS1 (Ser, AGN), whose dihydrouridine (DHU) armis reduced. In the A+T-rich region, three types of tandem repeat sequence units are found, including a 115 bp sequence tandemly repeated twice, a 16 bp sequence tandemly repeated three timeswith a partial third repeat and a 10 bp sequence tandemly repeated seven times. Phylogenetic analyses based on 13 protein-coding genes by both Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods suggest that Melyridae sensu lato is polyphyletic, and Dasytinae and Malchiinae are supported as independent families.

The More the Better: Genetic Monitoring of Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816) Experimental Restockings in Sardinia (Western Mediterranean Sea).

Project description:Paracentrotus lividus is a widely distributed species in the Mediterranean Sea and North-East Atlantic Ocean, where it plays an important ecological and commercial role. The growing demand for its delicious gonads has rapidly led to the overexploitation of the natural populations around Sardinia (western Mediterranean). The present research aimed at understanding the population genetics of the species within the area, and at gathering data on the juveniles produced in an experimental 'conservation hatchery' facility. A multilocus approach was used, combining mitochondrial genes (COI and Cytb) and microsatellite markers. Overall, both the microsatellites and mitochondrial results indicate that the hatchery-produced juveniles were less genetically diverse and significantly divergent from the wild populations, most likely because of a bottleneck effect due to the insufficient number of parental breeders used. As concerns the wild populations, despite the high harvesting pressure, they still have a good quantity of genetic variation. A weak overall differentiation was found, suggesting extensive gene flow among the sites. However, the differentiation in the pairwise comparisons between the wild Sardinian samples was found to be significant with regard to the mitochondrial sequences, to be further investigated with additional studies. These data provide the scientific knowledge necessary to inform future management actions and to improve future aquaculture protocols.
