The first complete mitochondrial genomes of sawtail surgeonfishes (Acanthuridae: Prionurus).

ABSTRACT: Surgeonfishes of the family Acanthuridae are primarily large-bodied herbivores that provide critical ecosystem services to coral reefs. Five out of the six genera that comprise the family have had mitochondrial genomes sequenced, with the exception of the genus Prionurus. Here, for the first time, we assemble and annotate the mitochondrial genomes of two sawtail surgeonfishes. The circular genomes of P. biafraensis and P. laticlavius are 16,552 bp and 16,531 bp in length, respectively, and contain 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. Gene arrangement and codon usage were similar to reported mitochondrial genomes of other surgeonfish genera, and a phylogenetic analysis of protein-coding genes recovers a topology for Acanthuridae that is consistent with nuclear analyses.

Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of New Zealand's First Dogs.

Project description:Dogs accompanied people in their migrations across the Pacific Ocean and ultimately reached New Zealand, which is the southern-most point of their oceanic distribution, around the beginning of the fourteenth century AD. Previous ancient DNA analyses of mitochondrial control region sequences indicated the New Zealand dog population included two lineages. We sequenced complete mitochondrial genomes of fourteen dogs from the colonisation era archaeological site of Wairau Bar and found five closely-related haplotypes. The limited number of mitochondrial lineages present at Wairau Bar suggests that the founding population may have comprised only a few dogs; or that the arriving dogs were closely related. For populations such as that at Wairau Bar, which stemmed from relatively recent migration events, control region sequences have insufficient power to address questions about population structure and founding events. Sequencing mitogenomes provided the opportunity to observe sufficient diversity to discriminate between individuals that would otherwise be assigned the same haplotype and to clarify their relationships with each other. Our results also support the proposition that at least one dispersal of dogs into the Pacific was via a south-western route through Indonesia.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Acanthurus achilles (Acanthuriformes, Acanthuridae).

Project description:Acanthurus achilles is one of most important genera of Acanthuridae. However, the systemically classification and taxonomic studies have so far been limited. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of A. achilles. The mitogenome has 16,537 base pairs (55.7% A + T content) and made up of total of 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs), and a putative control region. This study will provide useful genetic information for future phylogenetic and taxonomic classification of Acanthuridae.

First complete mitochondrial genomes of molossid bats (Chiroptera: Molossidae).

Project description:Bats represent around one-fourth of the world's mammals and their taxonomy is still controversial. Molossids are one of the most diverse bat families with a wide knowledge gap. In this study, we report the first complete mitochondrial genomes of three molossid bats: the European free-tailed bat Tadarida teniotis, the La Touche's free-tailed bat Tadarida latouchei, and the Wrinkle-lipped free-tailed bat Chaerephon plicatus. The mitogenomes are 16,869 and 16,784 bp long for T. teniotis and T. latouchei, respectively, while in C. plicatus it is at least 16,216 bp although the control region was not fully recovered due to its higher divergence from T. teniotis. The genomes show conserved synteny with other mammalian mitogenomes, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 control region (d-loop). All protein-coding genes start with the ATG start codon, except for ND2, ND3, and ND5 which begin with ATA or ATT. Eleven protein-coding genes terminated in a canonical stop codon, TAA or TAG, two contain incomplete stop codons, T or TA. Cytochrome b terminates in the mitochondria-specific stop codon AGA. These mitogenomes provide a valuable resource for future studies of Molossidae and other bat and mammal species.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Ctenochaetus tominiensis (Actinopteri, Acanthuridae).

Project description:We sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of Ctenochaetus tominiensis (Randall 1955) from Indonesia. The genome was assembled into a circular molecule of 16,429 bp with 44.45% GC content. This genome consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and 1D-loop. Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 PCGs showed that Ctenochaetus and Acanthurus were recovered in a single clade. The mitochondrial genome of C. tominiensis is helpful for species identification and phylogenetic position of fish.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the surgeon fish Acanthurus lineatus Linnaeus 1758 (Perciformes: Acanthuridae).

Project description:Acanthurid fishes are highly ornamental coral reef fishes, commonly called as surgeon fishes. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Acanthurus lineatus was determined (GenBank accession no EU273284). The genome was circular, double-stranded molecules of 16,532 bp length encoded with 37 mitochondrial genes. It contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 852 bp long control region. The entire nucleotide composition was 29.84% A, 28.07% C, 26.60% T and 15.49% G with an A + T content of 56.44%. Phylogenetic relationship of A. lineatus among the closely related species of Perciformes was studied based on H-strand protein-coding genes using the maximum parsimony method.

The First Two Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Neoephemeridae (Ephemeroptera): Comparative Analysis and Phylogenetic Implication for Furcatergalia.

Project description:Mayflies of the family Neoephemeridae are widespread in the Holarctic and Oriental regions, and its phylogenetic position is still unstable in the group Furcatergalia (mayflies with fringed gills). In the present study, we determined the complete mitogenomes of two species, namely Potamanthellus edmundsi and Pulchephemera projecta, of this family. The lengths of two mitogenomes were 15,274 bp and 16,031 bp with an A + T content of 73.38% and 73.07%, respectively. Two neoephemerid mitogenomes had a similar gene size, base composition, and codon usage of protein-coding genes (PCGs), and the sequenced gene arrangements were consistent with the putative ancestral insect mitogenomes as understood today. The most variable gene of Furcatergalia mitogenomes was ND2, while the most conserved gene was COI. Meanwhile, the analysis of selection pressures showed that ND6 and ATP8 exhibited a relaxed purifying selection, and COI was under the strongest purifying selection. Phylogenetic trees reconstructed based on two concatenated nucleotide datasets using both maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) estimations yielded robust identical topologies. These results corroborated the monophyly of seven studied families and supported the family Leptophlebiidae as being of the basal lineage of Furcatergalia. Additionally, the sister-group relationship of Caenidae and Neoephemeridae was well supported. Methodologically, our present study provides a general reference for future phylogenetic studies of Ephemeroptera at the mitogenome level.

Complete mitochondrial genomes of two scaphopod molluscs.

Project description:Complete mitochondrial genomes were determined for two scaphopod molluscs: the dentaliid Antalis entalis and an unidentified Antarctic gadilid. Both genomes are complete except, in Gadilida sp. indet., a short stretch of nad5 was undetermined and trnR could not be annotated. Organization of the Gadilida sp. genome is nearly identical to that previously reported for the gadilid Siphonodentalium whereas trnK, nad5, trnD, nad4, and nad4l are transposed to the opposite strand in the previously published Graptacme genome relative to that of Antalis. Phylogenetic analysis of the 13 protein-coding and 2 rRNA genes recovered Scaphopoda, Gadilida, and Dentaliida monophyletic with maximal support.
