Complete mitochondrial genome of Prionailurus bengalensis (Carnivora: Felidae), a protected species in China.

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the leopard cat Prionailurus bengalensis in China was sequenced using the shotgun genome-skimming method. The mitogenome of P. bengalensis is totally 17,006 bp in length with a higher A + T content of 60.4% than that of G + C and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and one non-coding control region. All the PCGs initiate with a typical ATN codon and terminate with a TAA codon except for the four PCGs (COX1, ND2, ND3, and ND4) terminating with a single T-and one gene CYT B with AGA as stop codon. Most of the tRNA genes have a clover-leaf secondary structure except for tRNAS (AGN), which loses a dihydrouridine (DHU) arm. The ML phylogenetic tree showed that P. viverrinus nested in the group of P. bengalensis individuals, which is close to the clade clustered by the two genera Otocolobus and Felis.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Mustela sibirica (Carnivora: Mustelidae), a protected and endangered species in China.

Project description:We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Mustela sibirica in China by the shotgun genome skimming methods. The mitogenome of M. sibirica is 16,558bp in length with the base composition of 32.9% A, 27.3% T, 26.0% C, and 13.9% G, and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and one non-coding control region. The 13 PCGs use ATG as initiation codons except ND3, ND5 and ND2 which initiate with codons ATA and ATT, respectively. Four (COX3, ND1, ND2 and ND4) of the 13 PCGs terminate with a single T- -, and the remainder with a TAA termination codon except ND3 and CYT B using TA- and AGA as termination codon. The phylogenetic tree based on 13 protein-coding genes indicated that M. sibirica is sister to the clade grouped with three species M. nigripes, M. eversmannii, and M. putorius, and Mustelinae species formed a monophyletic group, which is close to the Lutrinae clade within Mustelidae.

Forensically informative nucleotide sequencing (FINS) for species and subspecies of genus Prionailurus (Mammalia: Carnivora: Felidae) through mitochondrial genes (12SrRNA and cytochrome b) by using old taxidermy samples.

Project description:Genus Prionailurus comprises four species, i.e. Leopard cat, Rusty spotted cat, Fishing cat, Flat-headed cat, listed under IUCN as threatened species except P. bengalensis. In U.S.A., P. bengalensis is listed as Endangered. Subspecies of P. bengalensis, i.e. iriomotensis is listed as Critically Endangered under IUCN since 2008. The present study describes the use of two markers 12SrRNA and cytochrome b genes to differentiate the three species and three subspecies of Prionailurus. Old taxidermy samples (three skin samples) of P. viverrinus and P.b. horsfieldi were used from India for the study. The study done by using DNAsp v5, MEGA 6.0, and Network 5.0.0.1, proved that both gene markers are useful for differentiating the species and subspecies of Prionailurus. This study is also the first study to present forensically informative nucleotide sequence (FINS) for three species and three subspecies of Prionailurus.

Earliest "Domestic" Cats in China Identified as Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis).

Project description:The ancestor of all modern domestic cats is the wildcat, Felis silvestris lybica, with archaeological evidence indicating it was domesticated as early as 10,000 years ago in South-West Asia. A recent study, however, claims that cat domestication also occurred in China some 5,000 years ago and involved the same wildcat ancestor (F. silvestris). The application of geometric morphometric analyses to ancient small felid bones from China dating between 5,500 to 4,900 BP, instead reveal these and other remains to be that of the leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis). These data clearly indicate that the origins of a human-cat 'domestic' relationship in Neolithic China began independently from South-West Asia and involved a different wild felid species altogether. The leopard cat's 'domestic' status, however, appears to have been short-lived--its apparent subsequent replacement shown by the fact that today all domestic cats in China are genetically related to F. silvestris.

Lynx canadensis (Carnivora: Felidae)

Project description:Abstract Lynx canadensis Kerr, 1792, commonly called the Canada lynx, is a medium size felid and is the second largest of the four species in the genus Lynx. It is distributed throughout the boreal forest of most of Canada and Alaska and across portions of the northern United States. It prefers dense, regenerating coniferous forests with moderate canopy and understory cover. L. canadensis is a snowshoe hare specialist, and its ecology, morphology, and behavior closely reflect that of its main prey. It is listed as “Least Concern” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, is on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and its population size trend is considered stable. However, the status of United States subpopulations, being largely peripheral to the Canadian population, is more tenuous and the species is protected.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Capreolus pygargus (Cervidae: Capreolinae), a protected and threatened species in China.

Project description:We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Siberian Roe Deer, Capreolus pygargus, in China by the shotgun genome-skimming methods. The mitogenome of C. pygargus is totally 16,353 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region. The sequence has a higher A + T content of 63.4% than G + C 36.6% and with a base composition of 33.4% A, 23.2% C, 13.4% G, and 30.0% T. All of the 13 PCGs initiate a typical ATN codon except Nd4L with GTG. Six PCGs terminate with a TAA codon, while Cyt b, Atp8, and Nd1 terminate with AGA, TAG, and TA-, respectively. Whereas, Cox3, Nd2, Nd3, and Nd4 terminate with a single T-. The phylogenetic trees of the subfamily Capreolinae with 13 PCGs indicated that Capreolus species were well-supported as a monophyletic group, which is sister to the clade of Hydropotes with well-support.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Abudefduf Bengalensis (Perciformes; Pomacentridae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of marine fish Abudefduf bengalensis was sequenced by the high throughput sequencing method. The genome of this species is 16,776 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and one large non-coding region. The gene arrangement of A. bengalensis is identical to that of other common fishes. Phylogenetic tree based on 13 protein-coding genes shows that the clade of genus Abudefduf has a closer phylogenetic relationship to the lineage of genus Amphiprion and Premnas biaculeatus than to Labracinus cyclophthalmus.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Centropus bengalensis (Lesser Coucal).

Project description:We first reported the mitochondrial genome of Centropus bengalensis. The mitogenome of C. bengalensis contains 17,117 base pairs. The overall base composition of complete mitogenome is 28.15% A, 27.95% T, 21.86% C, and 22.04% G, with 43.90% of the GC content. All genes exhibit the typical mitochondrial gene arrangement and transcribing directions. Phylogenetic analysis of 4 Centropus species was performed based on the sequence of cytochrome b gene using the neighbor-joining method and the Kimura 2-parameter model in MEGA 7.0.
