Complete mitochondrial genome of the taxonomically notorious sea star, Henricia leviuscula (Asteroidea, Spinulosida, Echinasteridae), from South Korea.

ABSTRACT: In this study, next-generation sequencing was used to obtain the complete mitogenome of Henricia leviuscula (Stimpson, 1857). The mitogenome form was found to be a circular molecule 16,119-bp long with a 60.4% AT bias. The gene arrangement of H. leviuscula was exactly the same as that of previously reported mitogenome for another species of Echinasteridae, such as Echinaster (Othilia) brasiliensis, containing 37 genes (13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs). A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the 13 PCGs and 2 rRNA sequences. Henricia leviuscula formed a monophyletic clade with E. (O.) brasiliensis and this clade formed a larger clade with species of the Paxillosida and Valvatida.

Complete mitochondrial genome analysis of Distolasterias nipon (Echinodermata, Asteroidea, Forcipulatida).

Project description:In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of Distolasterias nipon belonging to the class Asteroidea in the phylum Echinodermata. The complete mitogenome of D. nipon was 16,193?bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs.

Complete mitochondrial genome of sea peach Halocynthia aurantium (stolidobranchia: Pyuridae) from Korea.

Project description:Halocynthia aurantium (Stolidobranchia: Pyuridae) is a species of tunicate of commercial value that is commonly found in the northern Pacific Ocean and in the Bering Sea. Here, we determined the complete mitogenome of sea peach H. aurantium using 150 PE high-throughput sequencing. The assembled mitogenome is 14,979 bp in length (overall A + T contents 56.2%), and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 21 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs. Phylogenetic analysis of the mitogenome sequence of H. aurantium fully resolved it in a clade with H. roretzi. These data and results will be useful for future studies on the evolution of the Halocynthia and the Pyuridae.

Virome Variation during Sea Star Wasting Disease Progression in Pisaster ochraceus (Asteroidea, Echinodermata).

Project description:Sea star wasting disease (SSWD) is a condition that has affected asteroids for over 120 years, yet mechanistic understanding of this wasting etiology remains elusive. We investigated temporal virome variation in two Pisaster ochraceus specimens that wasted in the absence of external stimuli and two specimens that did not experience SSWD for the duration of our study, and compared viromes of wasting lesion margin tissues to both artificial scar margins and grossly normal tissues over time. Global assembly of all SSWD-affected tissue libraries resulted in 24 viral genome fragments represented in >1 library. Genome fragments mostly matched densoviruses and picornaviruses with fewer matching nodaviruses, and a sobemovirus. Picornavirus-like and densovirus-like genome fragments were most similar to viral genomes recovered in metagenomic study of other marine invertebrates. Read recruitment revealed only two picornavirus-like genome fragments that recruited from only SSWD-affected specimens, but neither was unique to wasting lesions. Wasting lesion margin reads recruited to a greater number of viral genotypes (i.e., richness) than did either scar tissue and grossly normal tissue reads. Taken together, these data suggest that no single viral genome fragment was associated with SSWD. Rather, wasting lesion margins may generally support viral proliferation.

The complete mitochondrial genome of ?yingfish (Cheilopogon spilonotopterus) from South China Sea.

Project description:Flyingfishes are epipelagic specialists that are easily distinguished by their enlarged fins, which are used for gliding leaps over the surface of the water. In this study, we described the complete mitochondrial genome of Cheilopogon spilonotopterus. The genome is 16,527?bp in length, encoding the standard set of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and two rRNA genes, with circular organization. The overall base composition of the whole mitochondrial genome was A (28.86%), T (26.96%), G (16.66%) and C (27.52%) with an AT bias of 55.82%. The ATG initiation codon is used in all protein-coding genes except COX1, and the stop codons of all the 13 protein-coding genes were complete.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Plumarella spinosa (Octocorallia: Calcaxonia: Primnoidae) from South Korea.

Project description:Plumarella spinosa (Anthozoa: Octocorallia: Primnoidae) is an endangered marine soft coral species discovered on a 50-100 m deep reefs in South Korea. We analyzed the mitochondrial genome sequence of this species. The genome size was 19,037 bp in length consisting of 14 protein coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes and a tRNA gene. Our phylogenetic analysis for this species with 33 Octocorallia species reconstructed based on the nucleotide sequences of 14 PCGs showed that P. spinosa was placed as a sister to Narella hawainensis and Primnoidae formed a monophyletic group.

The first complete mitochondrial genome from the family Solasteridae, Crossaster papposus (Echinodermata, Asteroidea).

Project description:The common sunstar, Crossaster papposus, belongs to the family Solasteridae whose ordinal classification has been unstable. Here, for the first time, we assembled and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of the common sunstar, C. papposus Linnaeus, 1767. The circular genome of C. papposus is 16,335 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, a control region, and large and small ribosomal subunits. The overall genomic structure and gene arrangement were identical to the reported mitochondrial genomes of sea star species, and a phylogenetic analysis of 13 PCGs recovers a closest relationship with the derived cluster of the paraphyletic order Valvatida.

The first complete mitochondrial genome of the Mariana Trench Freyastera benthophila (Asteroidea: Brisingida: Brisingidae) allows insights into the deep-sea adaptive evolution of Brisingida.

Project description:Starfish (phylum Echinodermata) are ecologically important and diverse members of marine ecosystems in all of the world's oceans, from the shallow water to the hadal zone. The deep sea is recognized as an extremely harsh environment on earth. In this study, we present the mitochondrial genome sequence of Mariana Trench starfish Freyastera benthophila, and this study is the first to explore in detail the mitochondrial genome of a deep-sea member of the order Brisingida. Similar to other starfish, it contained 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes (duplication of two tRNAs: trnL and trnS). Twenty-two of these genes are encoded on the positive strand, while the other 15 are encoded on the negative strand. The gene arrangement was identical to those of sequenced starfish. Phylogenetic analysis showed the deep-sea Brisingida as a sister taxon to the traditional members of the Asteriidae. Positive selection analysis indicated that five residues (8 N and 16 I in atp8, 47 D and 196 V in nad2, 599 N in nad5) were positively selected sites with high posterior probabilities. Compared these features with shallow sea starfish, we predict that variation specifically in atp8, nad2, and nad5 may play an important role in F. benthophila's adaptation to deep-sea environment.
