Project description:BackgroundNasonia vitripennis is an emerging insect model system with haplodiploid genetics. It holds a key position within the insect phylogeny for comparative, evolutionary and behavioral genetic studies. The draft genomes for N. vitripennis and two sibling species were published in 2010, yet a considerable amount of transcriptiome data have since been produced thereby enabling improvements to the original (OGS1.2) annotated gene set. We describe and apply the EvidentialGene method used to produce an updated gene set (OGS2). We also carry out comparative analyses showcasing the usefulness of the revised annotated gene set.ResultsThe revised annotation (OGS2) now consists of 24,388 genes with supporting evidence, compared to 18,850 for OGS1.2. Improvements include the nearly complete annotation of untranslated regions (UTR) for 97 % of the genes compared to 28 % of genes for OGS1.2. The fraction of RNA-Seq validated introns also grow from 85 to 98 % in this latest gene set. The EST and RNA-Seq expression data provide support for several non-protein coding loci and 7712 alternative transcripts for 4146 genes. Notably, we report 180 alternative transcripts for the gene lola. Nasonia now has among the most complete insect gene set; only 27 conserved single copy orthologs in arthropods are missing from OGS2. Its genome also contains 2.1-fold more duplicated genes and 1.4-fold more single copy genes than the Drosophila melanogaster genome. The Nasonia gene count is larger than those of other sequenced hymenopteran species, owing both to improvements in the genome annotation and to unique genes in the wasp lineage. We identify 1008 genes and 171 gene families that deviate significantly from other hymenopterans in their rates of protein evolution and duplication history, respectively. We also provide an analysis of alternative splicing that reveals that genes with no annotated isoforms are characterized by shorter transcripts, fewer introns, faster protein evolution and higher probabilities of duplication than genes having alternative transcripts.ConclusionsGenome-wide expression data greatly improves the annotation of the N. vitripennis genome, by increasing the gene count, reducing the number of missing genes and providing more comprehensive data on splicing and gene structure. The improved gene set identifies lineage-specific genomic features tied to Nasonia's biology, as well as numerous novel genes.

Project description:The epigenetic mark of DNA methylation, the addition of a methyl (CH3) group to a cytosine residue, has been extensively studied in many mammalian genomes and, although it is commonly found at the promoter regions of genes, it is also involved in a number of different biological functions. In other complex animals, such as social insects, DNA methylation has been determined to be involved in caste differentiation and to occur primarily in gene bodies. The role of methylation in nonsocial insects, however, has not yet been explored thoroughly. Here, we present the whole-genome DNA methylation profile of the nonsocial hymenopteran, the jewel wasp (Nasonia vitripennis). From high-throughput sequencing of bisulfite-converted gDNA extracted from male Nasonia thoraces, we were able to determine which cytosine residues are methylated in the entire genome. We found that an overwhelming majority of methylated sites (99.7%) occur at cytosines followed by a guanine in the 3' direction (CpG sites). Additionally, we found that a majority of methylation in Nasonia occurs within exonic regions of the genome (more than 62%). Overall, methylation is sparse in Nasonia, occurring only at 0.18% of all sites and at 0.63% of CpGs. Our analysis of the Nasonia methylome revealed that in contrast to the methylation profile typically seen in mammals, methylation is sparse and is constrained primarily to exons. This methylation profile is more similar to that of the social hymenopteran species, the honey bee (Apis mellifera). In presenting the Nasonia methylome, we hope to promote future investigation of the regulatory function of DNA methylation in both social and nonsocial hymenoptera.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the clinical infection characteristics and analyze the resistance gene carrying status of carbapenem-resistant Providencia rettgeri via whole genome sequencing (WGS).MethodsCarbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri were collected from clinical patients between January 2020 and December 2021, and their susceptibility to 19 antimicrobial drugs was determined using the VITEK 2 Compact system and Kirby-Bauer (KB) disk diffusion method. The Illumina platform was used to perform WGS of the P. rettgeri isolates, and the resistance genes carried by the Carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains were detected via ABRicate software. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by thirty-four strains including twenty-eight strains downloaded from NCBI database and the carbapenem-resistant six P. rettgeri strains in this study. Which based on genomic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) to understand the affinities of the carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains.ResultsSix carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains were isolated from five different clinical departments using the blood, urine, sputum, and secretion specimens. These infected patients are middle-aged and elderly people with a history of severe trauma, tumors, hypertension, and various other underlying diseases, and invasive procedures. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing showed that all strains presented resistance to ampicillin-sulbactam, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and ertapenem, whereas they exhibited full susceptibility to cefepime and amikacin. Most strains demonstrated high resistance to β-lactams, aminoglycosides, and sulfonamides. Thirty-five resistance genes were identified by ABRicate. All carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains carried aminoglycoside, fluoroquinolone, chloramphenicol, rifampicin, sulfonamide, and β-lactam resistance genes, and most importantly, all strains possessed the carbapenem resistance gene blaNDM-1. The six P. rettgeri strains in this study and the 28 carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains from the NCBI database were divided into four evolutionary groups. The WF3643, WF3849, WF3822, and WF3821 strains in this study were in the same evolutionary group (clade A), while the closely related WF3099 and WF3279 strains were in different evolutionary groups (clade B and clade D), respectively. The WF3099 strain was distantly related to the other five strains.ConclusionCarbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains were mostly isolated from middle-aged and older patients with a history of surgery or serious underlying diseases, and they were found to cause multisystem infections. All Carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains in this study carried blaNDM-1 and multiple antimicrobial drug resistance genes. Furthermore, the P. rettgeri strains in this study were closely related, suggesting the possibility of nosocomial infections. Therefore, our study highlights the need for research on P. rettgeri to control the spread of these nosocomial infections.

Project description:Many physiological processes of living organisms show circadian rhythms, governed by an endogenous clock. This clock has a genetic basis and is entrained by external cues, such as light and temperature. Other physiological processes exhibit seasonal rhythms, that are also responsive to light and temperature. We previously reported a natural latitudinal cline of photoperiodic diapause induction in the parasitic wasp Nasonia vitripennis in Europe and a correlated haplotype frequency for the circadian clock gene period (per). To evaluate if this correlation is reflected in circadian behaviour, we investigated the circadian locomotor activity of seven populations from the cline. We found that the proportion of rhythmic males was higher than females in constant darkness, and that mating decreased rhythmicity of both sexes. Only for virgin females, the free running period (τ) increased weakly with latitude. Wasps from the most southern locality had an overall shorter free running rhythm and earlier onset, peak, and offset of activity during the 24 h period, than wasps from the northernmost locality. We evaluated this variation in rhythmicity as a function of period haplotype frequencies in the populations and discussed its functional significance in the context of local adaptation.
