The mitochondrial genome of clearhead icefish Protosalanx chinensis (Salmoniformes: Salangidae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of Protosalanx chinensis was determined to be 16,879?bp in length. It consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and a control region. The gene composition and the structural arrangement of the P. chinensis complete mtDNA were identical to most of the other vertebrates. The molecular data here we presented could play a useful role to study the evolutionary relationships and population genetics of Salangidae fish.

Insights into the Evolution of Neoteny from the Genome of the Asian Icefish Protosalanx chinensis.

Project description:Salangids, known as Asian icefishes, represent a peculiar radiation within the bony fish order Protacanthopterygii where adult fish retain larval characteristics such as transparent and miniaturized bodies and a cartilaginous endoskeleton into adulthood. Here, we report a de novo genome of Protosalanx chinensis, the most widely distributed salangid lineage. The P. chinensis genome assembly is more contiguous and complete than a previous assembly. We estimate that P. chinensis, salmons, trouts, and pikes diverged from a common ancestor 185 million years ago. A juxtaposition with other fish genomes revealed loss of the genes encoding ectodysplasin-A receptor (EDAR), SCPP1, and four Hox proteins and likely lack of canonical fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) function. We also report genomic variations of P. chinensis possibly reflecting the immune system repertoire of a species with a larval phenotype in sexually mature individuals. The new Asian icefish reference genome provides a solid foundation for future studies.

Whole genome sequencing of Chinese clearhead icefish, Protosalanx hyalocranius.

Project description:Background:Chinese clearhead icefish, Protosalanx hyalocranius , is a representative icefish species with economic importance and special appearance. Due to its great economic value in China, the fish was introduced into Lake Dianchi and several other lakes from the Lake Taihu half a century ago. Similar to the Sinocyclocheilus cavefish, the clearhead icefish has certain cavefish-like traits, such as transparent body and nearly scaleless skin. Here, we provide the whole genome sequence of this surface-dwelling fish and generated a draft genome assembly, aiming at exploring molecular mechanisms for the biological interests. A total of 252.1 Gb of raw reads were sequenced. Subsequently, a novel draft genome assembly was generated, with the scaffold N50 reaching 1.163 Mb. The genome completeness was estimated to be 98.39 % by using the CEGMA evaluation. Finally, we annotated 19?884 protein-coding genes and observed that repeat sequences account for 24.43 % of the genome assembly. We report the first draft genome of the Chinese clearhead icefish. The genome assembly will provide a solid foundation for further molecular breeding and germplasm resource protection in Chinese clearhead icefish, as well as other icefishes. It is also a valuable genetic resource for revealing the molecular mechanisms for the cavefish-like characters.

Life-history traits and intra-cohort divergence of clearhead icefish (Protosalanx chinensis), indicating cannibalism increased fitness.

Project description:Cannibalism is considered one of the causes of intra-cohort size divergence in fish and is usually believed to result in increased fitness in terms of survival and reproduction, but direct evidence of this is lacking. Population demographics of the clearhead icefish (Protosalanx chinensis) from Lake Xingkai (Khanka) were investigated for one year. Size-frequencies exhibited a bimodal distribution from July through January, where the population diverged into an upper and a lower modal group based on size. Stomach content analysis confirmed the occurrence of cannibalism, where fish belonging to the larger, upper modal group preyed upon those of the smaller, lower modal group. We found P. chinensis does not spawn until all of the oocytes have reached maturity and then a single spawning event occurs although the oocytes may develope asynchronously in the ovary. Upper modal group females matured slightly earlier than those of the lower modal group, and reproductive investment was considerably greater in the upper modal group than the lower modal group. The lower modal males made up the majority of the population after the spawning period, which meant they may have few opportunities to participate in reproduction. Therefore, piscivory and cannibalism of P. chinensis appears to have increased fitness of the fish belonging to the upper modal group and greatly reduced the fitness of those belonging to the lower modal group.

Female-specific genomic regions and molecular sex identification of the clearhead icefish (Protosalanx hyalocranius).

Project description:BackgroundThe clearhead icefish, Protosalanx hyalocranius, is an economically important fishery species in China. Since 1980s, P. hyalocranius was widely introduced into lakes and reservoirs of northern China for aquaculture. However, the lack of a rapid and cost-effective sex identification method based on sex specific genetic markers has hindered study on sex determination mechanisms and breeding applications.ResultsFemale-specific genomic regions were discovered by comparing whole genome re-sequencing data of both males and females. Two female-specific genomic regions larger than 50 bp were identified, and one (598 bp) contained a putative FOXI gene, which was paralogous to another FOXI gene with sex-associated SNPs. The two FOXI sequences displayed significant length difference with nine deletions of total length of 230 bp. This deletion-type structural variation could be easily and efficiently detected by traditional PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis with one 569 bp band for males and two bands (569 and 339 bp) for females, which were validated in 50 females and 40 males with known phenotypic sexes.ConclusionsThe results provided structural genomic evidence for the ZZ/ZW sex determination system in P. hyalocranius discovered in our previous study with association analysis of SNPs. Moreover, the female-specific markers and rapid and cost-effective PCR-based genetic sex identification method should have applications in further studies of sex determination mechanism for this species.
