The complete mitochondrial genome of pygmy red-toothed shrew (Chodsigoa parva).

ABSTRACT: The study of pygmy red-toothed shrew (Chodsigoa parva), which is the smallest species of geuns Chodsigoa, is extremely lacking. Also, it is classified as data deficient (DD) on The IUCN Red List. Here, we obtained a complete mitochondrial genome of Chodsigoa parva. The mitochondrial genome of C. parva is totally 17,216?bp in length and it is composed of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and 2 non-coding regions. We restructured Bayesian phylogenetic tree by using 19 species those belong to family Soricidae. The mitochondrial genome can provide basic data for further study about the phylogenetic relationship of family Soricidae.

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Arboreal Brown-toothed Shrew, Episoriculus macrurus.

Project description:The Arboreal Brown-toothed Shrew (Episoriculus macrurus) belongs to the family Soricidae, and distributes in China, Nepal, India, Myanma, and Vietnam. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of E. macrurus was determined. The mitogenome is 16,943 bp in length. Phylogenetic trees were constructed by the methods of Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood. The results showed that in the family of Soricidae, Crocidurinae differentiated earlier than Soricinae. Episoriculus was more close to Nectogale or Neomys rather than Sorex, and Blarinella was close to Sorex. This study contributes to illuminating the taxonomic status of E. macrurus.

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.

Colonization of Ireland: revisiting 'the pygmy shrew syndrome' using mitochondrial, Y chromosomal and microsatellite markers.

Project description:There is great uncertainty about how Ireland attained its current fauna and flora. Long-distance human-mediated colonization from southwestern Europe has been seen as a possible way that Ireland obtained many of its species; however, Britain has (surprisingly) been neglected as a source area for Ireland. The pygmy shrew has long been considered an illustrative model species, such that the uncertainty of the Irish colonization process has been dubbed 'the pygmy shrew syndrome'. Here, we used new genetic data consisting of 218 cytochrome (cyt) b sequences, 153 control region sequences, 17 Y-intron sequences and 335 microsatellite multilocus genotypes to distinguish between four possible hypotheses for the colonization of the British Isles, formulated in the context of previously published data. Cyt b sequences from western Europe were basal to those found in Ireland, but also to those found in the periphery of Britain and several offshore islands. Although the central cyt b haplotype in Ireland was found in northern Spain, we argue that it most likely occurred in Britain also, from where the pygmy shrew colonized Ireland as a human introduction during the Holocene. Y-intron and microsatellite data are consistent with this hypothesis, and the biological traits and distributional data of pygmy shrews argue against long-distance colonization from Spain. The compact starburst of the Irish cyt b expansion and the low genetic diversity across all markers strongly suggests a recent colonization. This detailed molecular study of the pygmy shrew provides a new perspective on an old colonization question.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of cape elephant shrew, Elephantulus edwardii.

Project description:In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of cape elephant shrew, Elephantulus edwardii, was determined through sequencing of PCR fragments. The complete mitochondrial genome of E. edwardii was 16,552?bp in length and and encoded 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The overall nucleotide composition is: 32.7% A, 29.5% T, 25.0% C, and 12.9% G, with a total G+C content of 37.9%. By phylogenetic analysis using Bayesian method, E. edwardii showed the closest relationship with another Elephantulus speceis (Genbank accession: AB096867.1).

The nearly complete mitochondrial genome of Chinese pygmy dormouse Typhlomys cinereus (Rodentia: Platacanthomyidae).

Project description:In this study, we report the nearly complete mitochondrial genome of a Chinese pygmy dormouse Typhlomys cinereus (Rodentia: Platacanthomyidae). The 15,011 bp genome is consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 16S rRNA, 21 tRNAs, partial 12S rRNA and control region. A phylogenetic tree was built using 12 protein-coding genes of 19 species from Dipodoidea and Muroidea. Our result shows that T. cinereus represents the earliest split within Muroidea. The genome would contribute to further study of phylogeny in Muroidea and Rodentia.

First near complete mitochondrial genome of large toothed toad, Oreolalax major (Anura: Megophryidae) from southwest China.

Project description:In this study, the near complete mitogenome sequence (15,469?bp) of Oreolalax major was determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It includes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and 19 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes (GenBank accession number KU310894). The features of O. major have one more tRNA gene (tRNAMet ) behind the original one before ND2 which is similar to Leptobrachium boringii. Phylogenetic analyses were based on the concatenated sequences of the 13 protein-encoding genes of O. major and other related species.

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.
