Project description:Adaptation to vertebrate blood feeding includes development of a salivary "magic potion" that can disarm host hemostasis and inflammatory reactions. Within the lower Diptera, a vertebrate blood-sucking mode evolved in the Psychodidae (sand flies), Culicidae (mosquitoes), Ceratopogonidae (biting midges), Simuliidae (black flies), and the frog-feeding Corethrellidae. Sialotranscriptome analyses from several species of mosquitoes and sand flies and from one biting midge indicate divergence in the evolution of the blood-sucking salivary potion, manifested in the finding of many unique proteins within each insect family, and even genus. Gene duplication and divergence events are highly prevalent, possibly driven by vertebrate host immune pressure. Within this framework, we describe the sialome (from Greek sialo, saliva) of the black fly Simulium vittatum and discuss the findings within the context of the protein families found in other blood-sucking Diptera. Sequences and results of Blast searches against several protein family databases are given in Supplemental Tables S1 and S2, which can be obtained from http://exon.niaid.nih.gov/transcriptome/S_vittatum/T1/SV-tb1.zip and http://exon.niaid.nih.gov/transcriptome/S_vittatum/T2/SV-tb2.zip .

Project description:Hippeastrum vittatum (L'Hér.) Herb. is a perennial herb in the Amaryllidaceae, which has been used as a medicinal and ornamental plant. Here, we assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of H. vittatum by high throughput sequencing. As a result, the length of the complete cp genome is 158,082 bp with a canonical quadripartite structure, consists of a large single-copy region (LSC) of 86,165 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,283 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,817 bp, each. A total of 137 genes were identified, including 87 protein-coding genes, 42 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenomic analysis was performed based on the complete cp genomes of 30 species, which revealed the closest relationship between H. vittatum and H. rutilum in the genus Hippeastrum.
