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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

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.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the water vole, Microtus richardsoni (Cricetidae, Rodentia).

Project description:Water voles (Microtus richardsoni) are sensitive species distributed in the mountains of Canada (Alberta, British Columbia), and the United States of America (Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming). We assembled the complete circular M. richardsoni mitogenome, which is 16,285 bp in length and encodes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. We estimated the phylogenetic tree of M. richardsoni and 24 related arvicoline species with two outgroup species: Phodopus roborovskii and Cricetus cricetus.

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.

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

Project description: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 the Eurasian collared lemming Dicrostonyx torquatus Pallas, 1779 (Rodentia: Arvicolinae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome the Eurasian collared lemming was obtained by using PCR amplification and capillary sequencing (GenBank accession no. KX066190). The collared lemming mitochondrial genome is 16,340 base pairs long and shows the gene order, contents and gene strand asymmetry typical for mammals. The mitogenome sequence provides an important new genomic resource for the collared lemming, which is a model study species in Arctic phylogeography and biotic history.

Impact of behavior on central and peripheral circadian clocks in the common vole Microtus arvalis, a mammal with ultradian rhythms.

Project description:In most mammals, daily rhythms in physiology are driven by a circadian timing system composed of a master pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and peripheral oscillators in most body cells. The SCN clock, which is phase-entrained by light-dark cycles, is thought to synchronize subsidiary oscillators in peripheral tissues, mainly by driving cyclic feeding behavior. Here, we examined the expression of circadian clock genes in the SCN and the liver of the common vole Microtus arvalis, a rodent with ultradian activity and feeding rhythms. In these animals, clock-gene mRNAs accumulate with high circadian amplitudes in the SCN but are present at nearly constant levels in the liver. Interestingly, high-amplitude circadian liver gene expression can be elicited by subjecting voles to a circadian feeding regimen. Moreover, voles with access to a running wheel display a composite pattern of circadian and ultradian behavior, which correlates with low-amplitude circadian gene expression in the liver. Our data indicate that, in M. arvalis, the amplitude of circadian liver gene expression depends on the contribution of circadian and ultradian components in activity and feeding rhythms.
