Genome-wide microsatellites and species specific markers in genus Phytophthora revealed through whole genome analysis.

ABSTRACT: Genome wide microsatellite maps shall support Phytophthora systematics through the development of reliable markers, enabling species discrimination and variability analyses. Whole genome sequences of 17 Phytophthora accessions belonging to 14 species were retrieved from GenBank and the genome-wide microsatellites in each species were mined. A total of 51,200 microsatellites, including dinucleotide to decanucleotide motifs, have been identified across all the species and each one was characterized for uniqueness and repeat number. The P. infestans T30-4 genome had the highest (6873) and P. multivora 3378 had the lowest number of microsatellites (1802). Dinucleotide motifs (63.6%) followed by trinucleotide motifs (30.1%) were most abundant in all the genome. From 14 species, 250 microsatellites which are unique for the respective genomes are detailed along with their primer combinations and product sizes. P. sojae had the highest number of unique microsatellite motifs. Genome wide microsatellite maps for all the 14 Phytophthora species including the chromosome, position, motif, repeat number, forward and reverse primer sequences and expected PCR product size, for every microsatellite are presented. Markers based on the unique microsatellites could be used to identify each species, whereas the ones common to all species could be used to identify the genetic variability. Furthermore, to confirm the results, pure cultures of P. capsici, P. nicotianae and P. palmivora were procured from the Phytophthora Repository, DNA was isolated and the unique markers were screened across the species. The characteristic markers developed have confirmed the genome analysis results.

Project description:Amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) belonging to Amaranthaceae, is known as "the crop of the future" because of its incredible nutritional quality. Amaranthus spp. (> 70) have a huge diversity in terms of their plant morphology, production and nutritional quality; however, these species are not well characterized at molecular level due to unavailability of robust and reproducible molecular markers, which is essential for crop improvement programs. In the present study, 13,051 genome-wide microsatellite motifs were identified and subsequently utilized for marker development using A. hypochondriacus (L.) genome (JPXE01.1). Out of those, 1538 motifs were found with flanking sequences suitable for primer designing. Among designed primers, 225 were utilized for validation of which 119 (52.89%) primers were amplified. Cross-species transferability and evolutionary relatedness among ten species of Amaranthus (A. hypochondriacus, A. caudatus, A. retroflexus, A. cruentus, A. tricolor, A. lividus, A. hybridus, A. viridis, A. edulis, and A. dubius) were also studied using 45 microsatellite motifs. The maximum (86.67%) and minimum (28.89%) cross-species transferability were observed in A. caudatus and A. dubius, respectively, that indicated high variability present across the Amaranthus spp. Total 97 alleles were detected among 10 species of Amaranthus. The averages of major allele frequency, gene diversity, heterozygosity and PIC were 0.733, 0.347, 0.06, and 0.291, respectively. Nei's genetic dissimilarity coefficients ranged from 0.0625 (between A. tricolor and A. hybridus) to 0.7918 (between A. viridis and A. lividus). The phylogenetic tree grouped ten species into three major clusters. Genome-wide development of microsatellite markers and their transferability revealed relationships among amaranth species which ultimately can be useful for species identification, DNA fingerprinting, and QTLs/gene(s) identification.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13205-021-02930-5.

Project description:Transposable elements (TEs) along with simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are prevalent in eukaryotic genome, especially in mammals. Repetitive sequences form approximately one-third of the camelid genomes, so study on this part of genome can be helpful in providing deeper information from the genome and its evolutionary path. Here, in order to improve our understanding regarding the camel genome architecture, the whole genome of the two dromedaries (Yazdi and Trodi camels) was sequenced. Totally, 92- and 84.3-Gb sequence data were obtained and assembled to 137,772 and 149,997 contigs with a N50 length of 54,626 and 54,031 bp in Yazdi and Trodi camels, respectively. Results showed that 30.58% of Yazdi camel genome and 30.50% of Trodi camel genome were covered by TEs. Contrary to the observed results in the genomes of cattle, sheep, horse, and pig, no endogenous retrovirus-K (ERVK) elements were found in the camel genome. Distribution pattern of DNA transposons in the genomes of dromedary, Bactrian, and cattle was similar in contrast with LINE, SINE, and long terminal repeat (LTR) families. Elements like RTE-BovB belonging to LINEs family in cattle and sheep genomes are dramatically higher than genome of dromedary. However, LINE1 (L1) and LINE2 (L2) elements cover higher percentage of LINE family in dromedary genome compared to genome of cattle. Also, 540,133 and 539,409 microsatellites were identified from the assembled contigs of Yazdi and Trodi dromedary camels, respectively. In both samples, di-(393,196) and tri-(65,313) nucleotide repeats contributed to about 42.5% of the microsatellites. The findings of the present study revealed that non-repetitive content of mammalian genomes is approximately similar. Results showed that 9.1 Mb (0.47% of whole assembled genome) of Iranian dromedary's genome length is made up of SSRs. Annotation of repetitive content of Iranian dromedary camel genome revealed that 9,068 and 11,544 genes contain different types of TEs and SSRs, respectively. SSR markers identified in the present study can be used as a valuable resource for genetic diversity investigations and marker-assisted selection (MAS) in camel-breeding programs.
