The complete mitochondrial genome of the lobe coral Porites lobata (Anthozoa: Scleractinia) sequenced using ezRAD.

ABSTRACT: The mitochondrial genome of the coral Porites lobata was sequenced using ezRAD. The assembled genome consists of 18,647?bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and two transfer RNA genes. The gene arrangement was consistent with other scleractinian coral mitochondrial genomes. The sequence was strikingly similar to Porites okinawensis, indicating the necessity for further systematic work to resolve phylogenetic relationships in the genus Porites.

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

Project description: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.

Proteomic Responses of the Lobe Coral Porites lobata transplants to the Nearshore Environment

Project description:Corals in nearshore marine environments are increasingly exposed to reduced water quality, which is the major local threat to coral reefs in Hawaii. Corals surviving in such conditions may have adapted to withstand sedimentation, pollutants, and other environmental stressors. Lobe coral (Porites lobata) populations from Maunalua Bay, Hawaii showed clear genetic differentiation along with distinct cellular protein expressions between the 'polluted, high-stress' nearshore site and the 'low-stress' offshore site. To understand the driving force of the observed genetic partitioning, reciprocal transplant and common-garden experiments were conducted using the nearshore and offshore colonies of P. lobata from Maunalua Bay to assess phenotypic differences between the two coral populations. Stress-related physiological and molecular responses were compared between the two populations. Proteomic responses highlighted the inherent differences in the cellular metabolic state and activities between the two populations under the same environmental conditions; nearshore corals did not significantly alter their proteome between the sites, while offshore corals responded to the nearshore transplantation with increased abundances of proteins associated with detoxification, antioxidant, and various metabolic processes. The response differences across multiple phenotypes suggest that the observed genetic partitioning was likely due to local adaptation.

The complete mitochondrial genome of soft coral Sarcophyton trocheliophorum (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) using next-generation sequencing.

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of Sarcophyton trocheliophorum was completed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. The mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 18,508?bp in length, containing 14 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and one transfer RNA gene (Met-tRNA). The base composition is 30.45% A, 16.03% C, 19.13% G, and 34.40% T, with an A?+?T content of 64.85%. A phylogenetic analysis of Alcyoniidae showed that genus Sarcophyton had the closest relationship with Sinularia.

Mitochondrial genome rearrangements in the scleractinia/corallimorpharia complex: implications for coral phylogeny.

Project description:Corallimorpharia is a small Order of skeleton-less animals that is closely related to the reef-building corals (Scleractinia) and of fundamental interest in the context of understanding the potential impacts of climate change in the future on coral reefs. The relationship between the nominal Orders Corallimorpharia and Scleractinia is controversial-the former is either the closest outgroup to the Scleractinia or alternatively is derived from corals via skeleton loss. This latter scenario, the "naked coral" hypothesis, is strongly supported by analyses based on mitochondrial (mt) protein sequences, whereas the former is equally strongly supported by analyses of mt nucleotide sequences. The "naked coral" hypothesis seeks to link skeleton loss in the putative ancestor of corallimorpharians with a period of elevated oceanic CO2 during the Cretaceous, leading to the idea that these skeleton-less animals may be harbingers for the fate of coral reefs under global climate change. In an attempt to better understand their evolutionary relationships, we examined mt genome organization in a representative range (12 species, representing 3 of the 4 extant families) of corallimorpharians and compared these patterns with other Hexacorallia. The most surprising finding was that mt genome organization in Corallimorphus profundus, a deep-water species that is the most scleractinian-like of all corallimorpharians on the basis of morphology, was much more similar to the common scleractinian pattern than to those of other corallimorpharians. This finding is consistent with the idea that C. profundus represents a key position in the coral <-> corallimorpharian transition.

The assembled mitogenome, consisting of 18770 bp, has 13 unique protein-coding genes (PCGs), three transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The complete mitogenome of G. lobata provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of stony coral phylogeny.

Genetic structure is stronger across human-impacted habitats than among islands in the coral Porites lobata.

Project description:We examined genetic structure in the lobe coral Porites lobata among pairs of highly variable and high-stress nearshore sites and adjacent less variable and less impacted offshore sites on the islands of Oahu and Maui, Hawaii. Using an analysis of molecular variance framework, we tested whether populations were more structured by geographic distance or environmental extremes. The genetic patterns we observed followed isolation by environment, where nearshore and adjacent offshore populations showed significant genetic structure at both locations (AMOVA F ST = 0.04?0.19, P < 0.001), but no significant isolation by distance between islands. Strikingly, corals from the two nearshore sites with higher levels of environmental stressors on different islands over 100 km apart with similar environmentally stressful conditions were genetically closer (FST = 0.0, P = 0.73) than those within a single location less than 2 km apart (FST = 0.04?0.08, P < 0.01). In contrast, a third site with a less impacted nearshore site (i.e., less pronounced environmental gradient) showed no significant structure from the offshore comparison. Our results show much stronger support for environment than distance separating these populations. Our finding suggests that ecological boundaries from human impacts may play a role in forming genetic structure in the coastal environment, and that genetic divergence in the absence of geographical barriers to gene flow might be explained by selective pressure across contrasting habitats.

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.
