The complete mitochondrial genome of Sorex minutissimus (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae).

ABSTRACT: In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Sorex minutissimus was sequenced and deposited to GeneBank for the first time using muscle tissue. This mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 16,700 bp in length and sequence analysis showed it contains 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, rep_origin, and D_loop. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 12 protein-coding genes except ND6 of 13 Soricidae species' mitochondrial genomes using ML and BI demonstrated that S. minutissimus and other Sorex species were clustered into same clade.

Complete mitochondrial genome of critically endangered Crocidura nicobarica (Soricidae: Eulipotyphla) from the Great Nicobar Island, India.

Project description:The mitogenome (17,388 bp) of the Nicobar shrew, Crocidura nicobarica was determined in the present study. The mitogenome comprises 13 PCGs (11,427 bp), 22 tRNAs (1507 bp), two rRNAs (2538 bp), and a major non-coding control region (1932 bp). The Maximum Likelihood phylogeny clearly discriminates all the studied Crocidura species with high bootstrap support by concatenated PCGs. The studied species, C. nicobarica shows a close relationship with Crocidura orientalis, distributed in Java, Indonesia. The lineage diversification and zoogeographic patterns are congruent in the present analyses and encouraged further sampling and more molecular data to elucidate their in-depth evolutionary relationship.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Dongyangjiang White-toothed Shrew, Crocidura dongyangjiangensis (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae) and its phylogenetic analysis.

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of the Dongyangjiang White-toothed Shrew (Crocidura dongyangjiangensis), a newly discovered Crocidura species, is sequenced and characterized. The total length of the genome is 16,883 bp, and has similar base composition and gene arrangement to other vertebrates. It contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), a replication origin (OL) and a control region. The phylogenetic tree shows that C. dongyangjiangensis was fully resolved in a clade with three other species of Crocidura and it has a sibling relationship with Crocidura tanakae. This analysis reveals the evolutionary relationship of 16 Crocidura species.

Chromosome Synapsis and Recombination in Male Hybrids between Two Chromosome Races of the Common Shrew (Sorex araneus L., Soricidae, Eulipotyphla).

Project description:Hybrid zones between chromosome races of the common shrew (Sorex araneus) provide exceptional models to study the potential role of chromosome rearrangements in the initial steps of speciation. The Novosibirsk and Tomsk races differ by a series of Robertsonian fusions with monobrachial homology. They form a narrow hybrid zone and generate hybrids with both simple (chain of three chromosomes) and complex (chain of eight or nine) synaptic configurations. Using immunolocalisation of the meiotic proteins, we examined chromosome pairing and recombination in males from the hybrid zone. Homozygotes and simple heterozygotes for Robertsonian fusions showed a low frequency of synaptic aberrations (<10%). The carriers of complex synaptic configurations showed multiple pairing abnormalities, which might lead to reduced fertility. The recombination frequency in the proximal regions of most chromosomes of all karyotypes was much lower than in the other regions. The strong suppression of recombination in the pericentromeric regions and co-segregation of race specific chromosomes involved in the long chains would be expected to lead to linkage disequilibrium between genes located there. Genic differentiation, together with the high frequency of pairing aberrations in male carriers of the long chains, might contribute to maintenance of the narrow hybrid zone.

Acoustic emissions of Sorex unguiculatus (Mammalia: Soricidae): Assessing the echo-based orientation hypothesis.

Project description:Shrew species have been proposed to utilize an echo-based orientation system to obtain additional acoustic information while surveying their environments. This system has been supported by changes in vocal emission rates when shrews encounter different habitats of varying complexity, although detailed acoustic features in this system have not been reported. In this study, behavioral experiments were conducted using the long-clawed shrew (Sorex unguiculatus) to assess this orientation system. Three experimental conditions were set, two of which contained obstacles. Short-click, noisy, and different types of tonal calls in the audible-to-ultrasonic frequency range were recorded under all experimental conditions. The results indicated that shrews emit calls more frequently when they are facing obstacles or exploring the experimental environment. Shrews emitted clicks and several different types of tonal calls while exploring, and modified the use of different types of calls for varying behavior. Furthermore, shrews modified the dominant frequency and duration of squeak calls for different types of obstacles, that is, plants and acrylic barriers. The vocalizations emitted at short inter-pulse intervals could not be observed when shrews approached these obstacles. These results are consistent with the echo-based orientation hypothesis according to which shrews use a simple echo-orientation system to obtain information from their surrounding environments, although further studies are needed to confirm this hypothesis.

Sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of large-toothed Siberian shrew (Sorex daphaenodon).

Project description:The mitochondrial genome of Sorex daphaenodon was sequenced and analyzed for the first time using muscle tissue. This genome was 17351?bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes, 1 control region and 1 rep_origin. The phylogenetic analysis basis of 12 protein-coding genes except for ND6 gene of 13 species shows that Sorex daphaenodon close with Sorex tundrensis, and was farthest related to Sorex cylindricauda in the genus of Sorex.

Sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of the Ussuri shrew (Sorex mirabilis) from China.

Project description:The complete mitogenome sequence of the Ussuri shrew (Sorex mirabilis) was determined using long PCR. The genome was 17,315?bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, one origin of L strand replication, and one control region. The overall base composition of the heavy strand is A (32.6%), C (25.2%), T (28.8%), and G (13.4%). The base compositions present clearly the A-T skew, which is most obviously in the control region and protein-coding genes. The extended termination-associated sequence domain, the central conserved domain and the conserved sequence block domain are defined in the mitochondrial genome control region of the Ussuri shrew. Mitochondrial genome analyses based on MP, ML, NJ, and Bayesian analyses yielded identical phylogenetic trees. The five Sorex species formed a monophyletic group with the high bootstrap value (100%) in all examinations.
