Complete mitochondrial genome of Hynobius dunni (Amphibia, Caudata, Hynobiidae) and its phylogenetic position.

ABSTRACT: Hynobius dunni is a salamander species of the genus Hynobius endemically distributed in eastern Kyushu in southwestern Japan. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence and clarified the phylogenetic position of this species. The mitochondrial genome was 16,47 bp in length and encoded 13 protein, 2 ribosomal RNA, and 22 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic tree based on 13 protein-coding genes revealed that H. nebulosus were the most closely related species within the Hynobius species. The data identified in this study will be useful for population and conservation genetic studies of Hynobius species.

The complete mitochondrial genome information of Hynobius unisacculus (Amphibia, Caudata, Hynobiidae) and the phylogenetic implication.

Project description:Hynobius unisacculus is a hynobiid salamander species found only in a limited area at the southernmost part of the Korean Peninsula. Here, we characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of this species that was used to identify the phylogenetic relationship with other Hynobius species. The whole sequence was 16,411?bp and included 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. The gene arrangement was completely identical to those observed in other Hynobius species. Upon robust phylogenetic tree reconstructed based on 13 protein-coding genes, Hynobius species living on the Korean Peninsula showed close phylogenetic affinity; H. unisacculus and H. quelpaertensis formed a cluster that was the sister to the cluster of H. leechii and H. yangi.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Batrachuperus sp. 2 (Caudata: Hynobiidae).

Project description:We describe the mitochondrial genome sequence of a mountain salamander, Batrachuperus sp.2 (Hynobiidae). The mitogenome was extracted and assembled from a large genome by next-generation sequencing. The mitochondrial genome sequences were 16,394 bp in size with 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a non-coding control region (D-loop). The overall base composition of Batrachuperus sp.2 is 34.1% for A, 19.3% for C, 13.5% for G, 33.1% for T, and 32.8% for GC content. The phylogenetic tree was constructed based on 13 protein-coding genes of Batrachuperus sp.2 and 6 closely related species by RAxML.

Mitochondrial DNA data unveil highly divergent populations within the genus Hynobius (Caudata: Hynobiidae) in South Korea.

Project description:Korean salamanders of the genus Hynobius are currently classified into 3 species, H. leechii, H. quelpaertensis, and H. yangi. To investigate the phylogenetic relationship of these species, we analyzed the partial sequence of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (907 bp) of 197 specimens from 43 regions in South Korea. Of these specimens, 93 were additionally examined with 12S rRNA (799 bp). Based on the partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and 12S rRNA, 89 and 36 haplotypes were defined, respectively, consisting of six subclades (H. leechii, H. quelpaertensis, H. yangi, HC1, HC2, and HC3). Among these subclades, the three subclades (HC1, HC2, and HC3) were clearly separated from the 3 previously reported species in the genus Hynobius. Pairwise sequence divergence between the six subclades ranged from 6.3 to 11.2% in cytochrome b gene and 2.0 to 4.3% in 12S rRNA. These results indicate there may be more divergent populations than the three currently described. Moreover, the estimation of divergence time revealed that the Hynobius species in South Korea diverged during the Miocene epoch, approximately 9 - 5 MYA. In addition, we confirmed the distribution of the three known species (H. leechii, H. quelpaertensis, and H. yangi) and determined the distributions of new, distinct groups (or subclades; HC1, HC1, and HC3). To more accurately establish the taxonomic status and population structure, further genetic, morphological, and ecological studies will be needed.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Small Salamander in Korea, Hynobius unisacculus (Anura: Hynobiidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Hynobius unisacculus was sequenced and characterized. The circular mt genome constituted of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs) and a non-coding region (NCR). Phylogenetic analysis based on the full mt genome sequences confirmed that H. unisacculus was closely related to Hynobius leechii rather than other Hynobius species. This is the first completed mt genome from H. unisacculus, which provides data for further study of phylogeny in Hynobiidaes.

A new species of lotic breeding salamander (Amphibia, Caudata, Hynobiidae) from Shikoku, Japan.

Project description:BackgroundHynobius hirosei is a lotic-breeding salamander endemic to Shikoku Island in western Japan. Significant allozymic and morphological differences have been found among the populations of this species; however, the degree and pattern of intraspecific variation have not been surveyed using a sufficient number of samples.MethodsFor the taxonomic revision of H. hirosei, we conducted genetic and morphological surveys using samples collected throughout the distribution. Phylogenetic analysis using the cytochrome b region of mitochondrial DNA and population structure analysis using single nucleotide polymorphisms were conducted to evaluate the population structure within the species and the degree of genetic differentiation. Subsequently, a morphological survey based on multivariate and univariate analyses was performed to assess the morphological variation.ResultsGenetic analyses revealed three genetic groups (Tsurugi, Central, and Nanyo) within H. hirosei, with the Nanyo group distributed allopatrically from the others, and the Tsurugi and Central groups distributed parapatrically with the formation of a hybrid zone between them. The Nanyo group was morphologically distinguishable from the remaining samples, including the topotype of H. hirosei, based on a smaller body size and several ratio values of characters to snout-vent length, longer axilla-groin distance, shorter tail length, shorter internarial distance, longer upper eyelid length, and larger medial tail width. These results support the notion that the Nanyo group is an undescribed species. However, the remaining genetically differentiated groups could not be divided in the present study. Herein, we described the Nanyo group as a new species.

Mitochondrial evidence on the phylogenetic position of caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnophiona).

Project description:The complete nucleotide sequence (17,005 bp) of the mitochondrial genome of the caecilian Typhlonectes natans (Gymnophiona, Amphibia) was determined. This molecule is characterized by two distinctive genomic features: there are seven large 109-bp tandem repeats in the control region, and the sequence for the putative origin of replication of the L strand can potentially fold into two alternative secondary structures (one including part of the tRNA(Cys)). The new sequence data were used to assess the phylogenetic position of caecilians and to gain insights into the origin of living amphibians (frogs, salamanders, and caecilians). Phylogenetic analyses of two data sets-one combining protein-coding genes and the other combining tRNA genes-strongly supported a caecilian + frog clade and, hence, monophyly of modern amphibians. These two data sets could not further resolve relationships among the coelacanth, lungfishes, and tetrapods, but strongly supported diapsid affinities of turtles. Phylogenetic relationships among a larger set of species of frogs, salamanders, and caecilians were estimated with a mitochondrial rRNA data set. Maximum parsimony analysis of this latter data set also recovered monophyly of living amphibians and favored a frog + salamander (Batrachia) relationship. However, bootstrap support was only moderate at these nodes. This is likely due to an extensive among-site rate heterogeneity in the rRNA data set and the narrow window of time in which the three main groups of living amphibians were originated.

Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic position of Chaenodraco wilsoni.

Project description:Chaenodraco wilsoni, a species of Channichthyidae, inhabits in southern ocean. The total length of complete mitochondrial genome of C. wilsoni is 17,432?bp, which encoded 37 genes. Similar to most Antarctic fishes, the ND6/tRNA (glu) translocation and an additional non-coding region linked with ND6 have also occurred in C. wilsoni. The ML tree supports that C. wilsoni has closer relationship with Chionodraco species. Our research will provide more molecular biology information about C. wilsoni and deepen the understanding of Antarctic fishes.

The complete mitochondrial genome information of Rana uenoi (Amphibia, Anura, Ranidae) and the phylogenetic implication.

Project description:We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Rana uenoi (Anura: Ranidae) for the first time. The whole sequences were 17,370 bp and included 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. The gene arrangement was completely identical to those observed from other Ranidae species. We used 11 protein-coding genes to examine the phylogenetic placement of this species in the genus Rana. Rana dybowskii was the closest sister species to R. uenoi. The clade of R. uenoi and R. dybowskii formed a cluster with Rana huarensis, which had a sister relationship with the group of Rana amurensis, Rana coreana, and Rana kunyuensis.
