Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic relationship of Neodon sikimensis (Rodentia: Arvicolinae).

ABSTRACT: The Sikkim Mountain vole (Neodon sikimensis) belongs to the subfamily Arvicolinae. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of N. sikimensis. It was determined to be 16,330?bp long and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 1 control region. The nucleotide sequence data of 12 heavy-strand protein-coding genes of N. sikimensis and other 22 rodents were used for phylogenetic analysis. Tree constructed using Bayesian phylogenetic methods demonstrated that N. sikimensis was a sister to N. irene, and Microtus genus species did not cluster together with each other, making the genus a paraphyletic group.

Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Three Species of the Genus Microtus (Arvicolinae, Rodentia).

Project description:The 65 species of the genus Microtus have unusual sex-related genetic features and a high rate of karyotype variation. However, only nine complete mitogenomes for these species are currently available. We describe the complete mitogenome sequences of three Microtus, which vary in length from 16,295 bp to 16,331 bp, contain 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a control region. The length of the 13 PCGs and the coded proteins is the same in all three species, and the start and stop codons are conserved. The non-coding regions include the L-strand origin of replication, with the same sequence of 35 bp, and the control region, which varies between 896 bp and 930 bp in length. The control region includes three domains (Domains I, II and III) with extended termination-associated sequences (ETAS-1 and ETAS-2) in Domain I. Domain II and Domain III include five (CSB-B, C, D, E and F) and three (CSB-1, CSB-2, and CSB-3) conserved sequence blocks, respectively. Phylogenetic reconstructions using the mitochondrial genomes of all the available Microtus species and one representative species from another genus of the Arvicolinae subfamily reproduced the established phylogenetic relationships for all the Arvicolinae genera that were analyzed.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the common vole, Microtus arvalis (Rodentia: Arvicolinae).

Project description:The common vole, Microtus arvalis belongs to the genus Microtus in the subfamily Arvicolinae. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of M. arvalis was recovered using shotgun sequencing and an iterative mapping approach using three related species. Phylogenetic analyses using the sequence of 21 arvicoline species place the common vole as a sister species to the East European vole (Microtus levis), but as opposed to previous results we find no support for the recognition of the genus Neodon within the subfamily Arvicolinae, as this is, as well as the genus Lasiopodomys, found within the Microtus genus.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the common pine vole Terricola subterraneus (Arvicolinae, Rodentia).

Project description:In this paper, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the common pine vole Microtus (Terricola) subterraneus, which was sequenced for the first time using Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. The total length of the mitogenome was 16,398?bp and contained 12S, 16S rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, and a 883?bp D-loop in the characteristic arrangement of subfamily Arvicolinae, Rodentia. Overall base composition of the complete mitochondrial DNA is A (33.0%), C (26.5%), G (13.4%), and T (27.0%), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial genomes showed a classic taxon pattern, identified using individual phylogenetic markers.

The complete mitochondrial genomes of three Ellobius mole vole species (Rodentia: Arvicolinae).

Project description:The subterranean voles of the genus Ellobius are species of subfamily Arvicolinae well adapted to underground life. In this paper, we report the assemblies of complete mitochondrial genomes for three mole voles from genus Ellobius - northern mole vole Ellobius talpinus (16,376 bp), transcaucasian mole vole E. lutescens (16,540 bp), and southern mole vole E. fuscocapillus (16,388 bp). Each of three mitogenomes encode for 12S and 16S rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, and D-loop in the characteristic arrangement of subfamily Arvicolinae (Rodentia: Cricetidae). This study verifies the evolutionary status of subgenera Bramus and Ellobius within the genus Ellobius at the molecular level. The mitochondrial genome would be a significant supplement for the Ellobius genetic background. The three Ellobius species formed a monophyletic group with the high bootstrap value (100%) in all examinations.

A mitochondrial genome phylogeny of voles and lemmings (Rodentia: Arvicolinae): Evolutionary and taxonomic implications.

Project description:Arvicolinae is one of the most impressive placental radiations with over 150 extant and numerous extinct species that emerged since the Miocene in the Northern Hemisphere. The phylogeny of Arvicolinae has been studied intensively for several decades using morphological and genetic methods. Here, we sequenced 30 new mitochondrial genomes to better understand the evolutionary relationships among the major tribes and genera within the subfamily. The phylogenetic and molecular dating analyses based on 11,391 bp concatenated alignment of protein-coding mitochondrial genes confirmed the monophyly of the subfamily. While Bayesian analysis provided a high resolution across the entire tree, Maximum Likelihood tree reconstruction showed weak support for the ordering of divergence and interrelationships of tribal level taxa within the most ancient radiation. Both the interrelationships among tribes Lagurini, Ellobiusini and Arvicolini, comprising the largest radiation and the position of the genus Dinaromys within it also remained unresolved. For the first time complex relationships between genus level taxa within the species-rich tribe Arvicolini received full resolution. Particularly Lemmiscus was robustly placed as sister to the snow voles Chionomys in the tribe Arvicolini in contrast with a long-held belief of its affinity with Lagurini. Molecular dating of the origin of Arvicolinae and early divergences obtained from the mitogenome data were consistent with fossil records. The mtDNA estimates for putative ancestors of the most genera within Arvicolini appeared to be much older than it was previously proposed in paleontological studies.

Signatures of Adaptation in Mitochondrial Genomes of Palearctic Subterranean Voles (Arvicolinae, Rodentia).

Project description:This study evaluates signatures of selection in the evolution of the mitochondrial DNA of voles, subfamily Arvicolinae, during the colonization of subterranean environments. The comparative sequence analysis of mitochondrial protein-coding genes of eight subterranean vole species (Prometheomys schaposchnikowi, three species of the genus Ellobius: Ellobius talpinus, Ellobius fuscocapillus and Ellobius lutescens, two species of the genus Terricola: Terricola subterraneus and Terricola daghestanicus, Lasiopodomys mandarinus, and Hyperacrius fertilis) and their closest aboveground relatives was applied using codon-substitution models. The highest number of selection signatures was detected in genes ATP8 and CYTB. The relaxation of selection was observed in most mitochondrial DNA protein-coding genes for subterranean species. The largest amount of relaxed genes is discovered in mole voles (genus Ellobius). The number of selection signatures was found to be independent of the evolutionary age of the lineage but fits the degree of specialization to the subterranean niche. The common trends of selective pressures were observed among the evolutionary ancient and highly specialized subterranean rodent families and phylogenetically young lineages of voles. It suggests that the signatures of adaptation in individual mitochondrial protein-coding genes associated with the colonization of the subterranean niche may appear within a rather short evolutionary timespan.

Phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic position of genus Hyperacrius (Rodentia: Arvicolinae) from Kashmir based on evidences from analysis of mitochondrial genome and study of skull morphology.

Project description:In this article, we present the nearly complete mitochondrial genome of the Subalpine Kashmir vole Hyperacrius fertilis (Arvicolinae, Cricetidae, Rodentia), assembled using data from Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the DNA from a century-old museum specimen. De novo assembly consisted of 16,341 bp and included all mitogenome protein-coding genes as well as 12S and 16S RNAs, tRNAs and D-loop. Using the alignment of protein-coding genes of 14 previously published Arvicolini tribe mitogenomes, seven Clethrionomyini mitogenomes, and also Ondatra and Dicrostonyx outgroups, we conducted phylogenetic reconstructions based on a dataset of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) under maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference. Phylogenetic analyses robustly supported the phylogenetic position of this species within the tribe Arvicolini. Among the Arvicolini, Hyperacrius represents one of the early-diverged lineages. This result of phylogenetic analysis altered the conventional view on phylogenetic relatedness between Hyperacrius and Alticola and prompted the revision of morphological characters underlying the former assumption. Morphological analysis performed here confirmed molecular data and provided additional evidence for taxonomic replacement of the genus Hyperacrius from the tribe Clethrionomyini to the tribe Arvicolini.

Phylogenetic relationship and characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Milionia basalis (Lepidoptera: Geometridae).

Project description:Larvae of the geometrid moth Milionia basalis feed exclusively on the podocarp tree, Podocarpus macrophyllus. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of M. basalis. This mitogenome was 15,901?bp long and encoded 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA unit genes (rRNAs). The whole mitogenome exhibited heavy AT nucleotide bias (82.2%). Gene order was conserved and identical to most other previously sequenced Geometridae. Most PCGs of M. basalis had the conventional start codons ATN, with the exception of nad1 (TTG) and cox1 (CGA). Except for four genes (cox1, cox2, nad5, and nad4) end with the incomplete stop codon T--, all other PCGs terminated with the stop codon TAA. Phylogenetic analysis showed that M. basalis got together with Apocheima cinerarius, Jankowskia athlete, and four Biston species (B. panterinaria, B. perclara, B. suppressaria, and B. thibetaria).

Phylogenetic relationship and characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Mylabris calida (Coleoptera:Meloidae).

Project description:Beetle genus Mylabris (Meloidae) was described by Fabricius (1775) and had been well known due to its relevance to traditional medicine (e.g., cantharidin production). Here, we sequenced and annotated the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Mylabris calida, one of species within Mylabris. This mitogenome was 15,149 bp long and encoded 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) and two ribosomal RNA unit genes (rRNAs). All 13 PCGs were initiated by the ATN (ATG, ATT and ATA) codon. All PCGs terminated with the stop codon TAA or TAG except for cox1, cox2, nad5 and nad4 which end with the incomplete codon T-. Phylogenetic analysis showed that M. calida got together with the same genus species Mylabris sp., M. aulica and three Hycleus species (H. cichorii, H. phaleratus and H. marcipoli), indicating Mylabris has a closer relationship with Hycleus than other genera within Meloidae.
