Sequence analysis of mitochondrial genome of the false and phantom crane-fly Ptychoptera qinggouensis Kang, Yao and Yang, 2013 (Diptera, Ptychopteridae).

ABSTRACT: The genus Ptychoptera Meigen, 1803 is the largest genus of the family Ptychopteridae with 78 known species. In this study, we report a nearly complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of this genus, which is a circular molecule of more than 15,028 bp. The mt genome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and a non-coding region. The overall base composition is A (38.1%), T (36.7%), C (14.9%), and G (10.4%), with an AT content of 74.8%. The AT content of N-strand genes (75.7%) is higher than that of the J-strand genes (71.7%). Phylogenetic analysis reveals that the monophyly of Ptychopteridae, Bibiomorpha, Tipulomorpha and Brachycera are strongly supported, and the sister group relationship between Tanyderidae and Ptychopteridae is not supported.

New data on the mitochondrial genome of the winter crane fly (Diptera: Trichoceridae) with phylogenetic analysis.

Project description:The family Trichoceridae is a small group in Nematocera (Diptera) with 157 known species in the world. In this study, we report a complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a Trichoceridae species, which is a circular molecule of 16,094 bp with 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and a 1063 bp long non-coding region (control region). Eight gene overlaps ranging from 1 to 8 bp in length and 16 small non-coding intergenic spacers ranging from 1 to 77 bp in length are found in the mitochondrial genome. The canonical start codons (ATN) for invertebrate mitochondrial genomes are found in 11 PCGs, except for COI which uses TTG and ND5 uses GTG. Stop codons of 12 PCGs are invariably complete TAA and TAG, while COII ends with a single thymine stop codon. Twenty-two tRNAs ranges from 64 bp to 72 bp, and the rRNAs are determined to be 1326 bp in length for lrRNA and 788 bp in length for srRNA. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that the family Trichoceridae is a sister-group to the remaining Tipulomorpha, and the relationship between the other families is Pediciidae + (Limoniidae + (Cylindrotomidae + Tipulidae)).

Tipula (Vestiplex) butvilai sp. nov., a new crane fly (Diptera, Tipulidae) from Yunnan, China.

Project description:A new crane fly, Tipula (Vestiplex) butvilaisp. nov., is described and illustrated based on new material collected in the Nu Jiang Valley of Yunnan Province, China. The hypopygium for the most closely related species, Tipula (Vestiplex) testata Alexander, 1935, is also illustrated. A key is provided to distinguish males of the new species from those of other species in the T. (V.) bicornigera Alexander, 1938 species group.

Mitochondrial genome sequences of Nematocera (lower Diptera): evidence of rearrangement following a complete genome duplication in a winter crane fly.

Project description:The complete mitochondrial DNA sequences of eight representatives of lower Diptera, suborder Nematocera, along with nearly complete sequences from two other species, are presented. These taxa represent eight families not previously represented by complete mitochondrial DNA sequences. Most of the sequences retain the ancestral dipteran mitochondrial gene arrangement, while one sequence, that of the midge Arachnocampa flava (family Keroplatidae), has an inversion of the trnE gene. The most unusual result is the extensive rearrangement of the mitochondrial genome of a winter crane fly, Paracladura trichoptera (family Trichocera). The pattern of rearrangement indicates that the mechanism of rearrangement involved a tandem duplication of the entire mitochondrial genome, followed by random and nonrandom loss of one copy of each gene. Another winter crane fly retains the ancestral diperan gene arrangement. A preliminary mitochondrial phylogeny of the Diptera is also presented.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the snow crane-fly Chionea crassipes gracilistyla (Diptera, Tipuloidea, Limoniidae) with phylogenetic analysis.

Project description:The genus Chionea Dalman, 1816 is a peculiar group of crane flies with extremely short wings. In this study, we report the first complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence of the genus Chionea, which is a circular molecule of 15,775 bp with an AT content of 76.9% and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a long non-coding region. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the Pediciidae was sister-group to the remaining Tipuloidea and strongly supported the sister-group relationship between Cylindrotomidae and Tipulidae.

A new species of Elephantomyia crane fly (Diptera, Limoniidae) from Jeju Island, South Korea.

Project description:A new species of crane fly (Diptera, Limoniidae), Elephantomyia (Elephantomyia) hallasana Podenas & Podeniene, sp. nov., from Jeju Island, South Korea is described. Adult and larval characters are illustrated. Elephantomyia (E.) hallasanasp. nov. is the only species of the genus Elephantomyia Osten Sacken, 1860 recorded from Jeju Island, South Korea. Habitat, elevation range, and seasonality data are presented. Distributional notes on E. subterminalis Alexander, 1954 in the Far East of Russia (Khabarovskiy and Primorskiy regions) are discussed. An identification key for all Eastern Palaearctic species of subgenus E. (Elephantomyia) is presented.

A crane fly of the genus Gynoplistia Macquart (Diptera, Limoniidae) from the early Miocene of New Zealand.

Project description:The first fossil limoniid fly from the Miocene Fossil-Lagerstätte of Foulden Maar in New Zealand is described on the basis of an isolated well-preserved wing. The specimen is tentatively attributed to a new species Gynoplistiafouldensensissp. nov. in the large extant genus Gynoplistia, which is well diversified in the country. It is the second fossil record of this genus, the first one being an isolated wing from the Cretaceous Weald Clay Formation in the United Kingdom.

Tipula (Vestiplex) crane flies (Diptera, Tipulidae) of Korea.

Project description:The Korean species of Tipula (Vestiplex) Bezzi, 1924 crane flies are taxonomically revised. Five species are recognized. Tipula (V.) coquillettiana Alexander, 1924, T. (V.) kuwayamai Alexander, 1921, T. (V.) tchukchi Alexander, 1934, and T. (V.) verecunda Alexander, 1924 are newly recorded from the Korean Peninsula, and T. (V.) serricauda Alexander, 1914 was previously recorded. The larva of T. (V.) serricauda is described and illustrated, and the larvae of the subgenus T. (Vestiplex) are divided into four groups based on spiracular lobe morphology. An identification key, redescriptions, and illustrations of Korean T. (Vestiplex) adults and grouping of known larvae are presented.

Active Promoters give rise to false positive 'Phantom Peaks' in ChIP-Seq experiments

Project description:We applied ChIP-seq to map the chromosomal binding sites for two nucleosome remodeling complexes containing the ATPase ISWI, ACF and RSF, in Drosophila embryos. Employing a panel of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies directed against their signature subunits, ACF1 and RSF1, robust profiles were obtained indicating that both remodelers co-occupied a large set of active promoters. For further validation we repeated the mapping using chromatin of mutant embryos that do not express ACF1 or RSF1. Surprisingly, the ChIP-seq profiles were unchanged, suggesting that they were not due to specific immunoprecipitation. Conservative analysis lists about 3000 chromosomal loci, mostly active promoters that are prone to non-specific enrichment in ChIP and give rise to ‘Phantom Peaks’. These peaks are not obtained with pre-immune serum and are not prominent in input chromatin.

Redescriptions of the poorly known crane fly species Tipula (Vestiplex) scandens and Tipula (Vestiplex) subscripta from Tibet and Yunnan, China (Diptera, Tipulidae).

Project description:Tipula (Vestiplex) scandens Edwards, 1928 and Tipula (Vestiplex) subscripta Edwards, 1928 were both briefly described based on single specimens and lacked illustration in the original literature. In the present paper, these two species are redescribed with new illustrations of additional morphological features based on type and non-type specimens.
