Using ezRAD to reconstruct the complete mitochondrial genome of Porites fontanesii (Cnidaria: Scleractinia).

ABSTRACT: Corals in the genus Porites are among the major framework builders of reef structures worldwide, yet the genus has been challenging to study due to a lack of informative molecular markers. Here, we used ezRAD sequencing to reconstruct the complete mitochondrial genome of Porites fontanesii (GenBank accession number MG754069), a widespread coral species endemic to the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The gene arrangement of P. fontanesii did not differ from other Scleractinia and consisted of 18,658?bp, organized in 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 tRNA genes. This mitochondrial genome contributes essential data to work towards a better understanding of evolutionary relationships within Porites.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Montiporavietnamensis (Scleractinia, Acroporidae).

Project description:Montiporavietnamensis Veron, 2000 (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Scleractinia, Acroporidae) is an uncommon, but distinctive species of stony coral. The complete mitochondrial genome of M.vietnamensis was sequenced in this study for the first time, based on 32 pairs of primers newly designed according to seven species in the family Acroporidae. The mitogenome of M.vietnamensis has a circular form and is 17,885 bp long, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 tRNA (tRNAMet, tRNATrp), 2 rRNA genes and a putative control-region. The base composition of the complete mitogenome was 24.8% A, 14.2% C, 24.2% G and 36.8% T, with a higher AT content (61.6%) than GC content (38.4%). Based on 13 protein-coding genes, a Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed that M.vietnamensis is clustered in the genus Montipora which belongs to the family Acroporidae. More stony coral species should be sequenced for basic molecular information and to help confirm the taxonomic status and evolutionary relationships of Scleractinia in the future.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Montipora aequituberculata (Scleractinia, Acroporidae).

Project description:The complete mitogenome of the hexacorallia, Montipora aequituberculata has been amplified and sequenced. The mitogenome consists of 17,886?bp, with 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 2 transfer RNA genes and a control region. It has been observed that ND5 gene is split into two parts by a large fragment of genes, which commonly presented in scleractinian coral. The overall base composition of the H-strand was A, 24.91%; G, 24.1%; C, 14.2%; and T, 36.8%, with a slight AT bias of 61.7%. The control region was 627?bp in length and located between 12S rRNA and COIII gene. Based on the neighbour-joining (NJ) tree, M. aequituberculata was grouped with M. cactus, Anacropora matthai and Acropora tenuis, and formed a clade of Acroporidae. In conclusion, the complete mitogenome of M. aequituberculata data may provide more informative for phylogenetic approach for corals phylogeny.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Alveopora japonica (Scleractinia: Acroporidae).

Project description:Here, for the first time, we sequenced the complete mitogenome of Alveopora japonica Eguchi, 1968 (Scleractinia: Acroporidae). Genome size was 17,886?bp with 13 protein-coding, two rRNA, and two tRNA genes. This gene composition was identical to the typical scleractinian pattern. Our results strongly support the recent transfer of this coral species to the family Acroporidae.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Echinophylliaaspera (Scleractinia, Lobophylliidae): Mitogenome characterization and phylogenetic positioning.

Project description:Lack of mitochondrial genome data of Scleractinia is hampering progress across genetic, systematic, phylogenetic, and evolutionary studies concerning this taxon. Therefore, in this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of the stony coral Echinophylliaaspera (Ellis & Solander, 1786), has been decoded for the first time by next generation sequencing and genome assembly. The assembled mitogenome is 17,697 bp in length, containing 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), two transfer RNAs and two ribosomal RNAs. It has the same gene content and gene arrangement as in other Scleractinia. All genes are encoded on the same strand. Most of the PCGs use ATG as the start codon except for ND2, which uses ATT as the start codon. The A+T content of the mitochondrial genome is 65.92% (25.35% A, 40.57% T, 20.65% G, and 13.43% for C). Bayesian and maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis have been performed using PCGs, and the result shows that E.aspera clustered closely with Sclerophylliamaxima (Sheppard & Salm, 1988), both of which belong to Lobophylliidae, when compared with species belonging to Merulinidae and other scleractinian taxa used as outgroups. The complete mitogenome of E.aspera provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses of corals.
