Sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of the masked shrew (Sorex caecutiens) from China.

ABSTRACT: The complete mitogenome sequence of the masked shrew (Sorex caecutiens) was determined using long PCR. The genome was 17,096?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 (32.9%), C (24.5%), T (29.3%), and G (13.3%). 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 masked 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.

Sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of large-toothed Siberian shrew (Sorex daphaenodon).

Project description:The mitochondrial genome of Sorex daphaenodon was sequenced and analyzed for the first time using muscle tissue. This genome was 17351 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes, 1 control region and 1 rep_origin. The phylogenetic analysis basis of 12 protein-coding genes except for ND6 gene of 13 species shows that Sorex daphaenodon close with Sorex tundrensis, and was farthest related to Sorex cylindricauda in the genus of Sorex.

Phylogenetically distinct hantaviruses in the masked shrew (Sorex cinereus) and dusky shrew (Sorex monticolus) in the United States.

Project description:A limited search for hantaviruses in lung and liver tissues of Sorex shrews (family Soricidae, subfamily Soricinae) revealed phylogenetically distinct hantaviruses in the masked shrew (Sorex cinereus) from Minnesota and in the dusky shrew (Sorex monticolus) from New Mexico and Colorado. The discovery of these shrew-borne hantaviruses, named Ash River virus and Jemez Springs virus, respectively, challenges the long-held dogma that rodents are the sole reservoir hosts and forces a re-examination of their co-evolutionary history. Also, studies now underway are aimed at clarifying the epizootiology and pathogenicity of these new members of the genus Hantavirus.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Sorex minutissimus (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae).

Project description:In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Sorex minutissimus was sequenced and deposited to GeneBank for the first time using muscle tissue. This mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 16,700 bp in length and sequence analysis showed it contains 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, rep_origin, and D_loop. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 12 protein-coding genes except ND6 of 13 Soricidae species' mitochondrial genomes using ML and BI demonstrated that S. minutissimus and other Sorex species were clustered into same clade.

Novel hantavirus in the flat-skulled shrew (Sorex roboratus).

Project description:Genetically distinct hantaviruses have been identified recently in multiple species of shrews (Order Soricomorpha, Family Soricidae) in Eurasia and North America. To corroborate decades-old reports of hantaviral antigens in shrews from Russia, archival liver and lung tissues from 4 Siberian large-toothed shrews (Sorex daphaenodon), 5 Eurasian least shrews (Sorex minutissimus), 12 flat-skulled shrews (Sorex roboratus), and 18 tundra shrews (Sorex tundrensis), captured in the Sakha Republic in northeastern Siberia during July and August 2006, were analyzed for hantavirus RNA by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. A novel hantavirus, named Kenkeme virus, was detected in a flat-skulled shrew. Sequence analysis of the full-length S and partial M and L segments indicated that Kenkeme virus was genetically and phylogenetically distinct from Seewis virus harbored by the Eurasian common shrew (Sorex araneus), as well as all other rodent-, soricid-, and talpid-borne hantaviruses.

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

Project description: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.
