High-Quality Genome Assembly of Eriocheir japonica sinensis Reveals Its Unique Genome Evolution.

ABSTRACT: As an important freshwater aquaculture species in China, the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir japonica sinensis) has high economic and nutritional value. However, limited genomic information is currently available for studying its basic development and genetic diversity. Here, we performed whole-genome sequencing on Oxford Nanopore Technologies Limited's platform using promethION. The assembled size of E. j.sinensis genome was approximately 1.27 Gb, which is close to the estimated size (1.19 Gb). Furthermore, based on assessment using Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) (Simao et al., 2015), 94.00% of the expected eukaryotic genes were completely present in the genome assembly. In addition, repetitive sequences accounted for ~61.42% of the assembled genome, and 22,619 protein-coding genes were annotated. Comparative genomics analysis demonstrated that the Chinese mitten crab diverged from Penaeus vannamei ~373.6 million years ago, with a faster evolution rate than shrimp. We anticipate that the annotated high-quality genome of E. j. sinensis will promote research on its basic development and evolution and make substantial contributions to comparative genomic analyses of crustaceans.

Project description:BackgroundGenome-scale metabolic network models (GEMs) provide an efficient platform for the comprehensive analysis the physical and biochemical functions of organisms due to their systematic perspective on the study of metabolic processes. Eriocheir sinensis is an important economic species cultivated on a large scale because it is delicious and nutritious and has a high economic value. Feed improvement is one of the important methods to improve the yield of E. sinensis and control water pollution caused by the inadequate absorption of feed.ResultsIn this study, a GEM of E. sinensis, icrab4665, was reconstructed based on the transcriptome sequencing, combined with KEGG database, literature and experimental data. The icrab4665 comprised 4665 unigenes, 2060 reactions and 1891 metabolites, which were distributed in 12 metabolic subsystems and 113 metabolic pathways. The model was used to predict the optimal nutrient requirements of E. sinensis in feed, and suggestions for feed improvement were put forward based on the simulation results. The simulation results showed that arginine, methionine, isoleucine and phenylalanine had more active metabolism in E. sinensis. It was suggested that the amount of these essential amino acids should be proportionally higher than that of other amino acids in the feed to ensure the amino acid metabolism of E. sinensis. On the basis of the simulation results, we further suggested increasing the amount of linoleic acid, EPA and DHA in the feed to ensure the intake of essential fatty acids for the growth of E. sinensis and promote the accumulation of cell substances. In addition, the amounts of zinc and selenium in the feed were also suggested to be properly increased to ensure the basic metabolism and growth demand of E. sinensis.ConclusionThe largest GEM of E. sinensis was reconstructed and suggestions were provide for the improvement of feed contents based on the model simulation. This study promoted the exploration of feed optimization for aquatic crustaceans from in vivo and in silico. The results provided guidance for improving the feed proportion for E. sinensis, which is of great significance to improve its yield and economic value.
