Project description:In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of Cyprinus carpio (strain Songpu) were reported for the first time. The genome is found to be 16 582?bp in length accurately using the next-generation sequencing technology and bioinformatics tools, and it has a base composition of A (31.9%), G (15.7%), C (27.5%) and T (24.9%), indicating that the percentage of A?+?T (56.8%) was higher than G?+?C (43.2%). The whole genome contains a typically conserved structure, which includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and one control region (D-loop). To obtain the phylogenetic relationship between Songpu mirror carp and other species, 11 mitochondrial genomes were used for phylogenetic analysis. The result shows the Songpu mirror carp is closely related to Cyprinu carpio carpio that is also a member of the genus Cyprinu.

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid of Cyprinus carpio L. mirror (?)×?Cyprinus Carpio var. singuonensis (?) was characterized first in this study. The total length of the genome was identical to the female parent as 16,581?bp, and the overall base composition was 31.80% A, 24.85% T, 27.55% C and 15.80% G, with a slight A?+?T bias. It contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 2 main non-coding regions (the control region and the origin of the light-strand replication). This study discovered the 99.70% sequence identity between the hybrid and its female parent, which confirmed the maternal inheritance pattern followed by the mitochondrial genome of the hybrid. However, the sequence alignment of mitochondrial genomes between the hybrid and its female parent revealed a total of 47 variable sites in 15 genes or regions, especially 25 sense mutations in 6 PCGs. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the hybrid Cyprinus capio Furong may provide an important dataset for further study in mitochondrial inheritance mechanism.

Project description:Colors and their patterns are fascinating phenotypes with great importance for fitness under natural conditions. For this reason and because pigmentation is associated with diseases, much research was devoted to study the genetics of pigmentation in animals. Considerable contribution to our understanding of color phenotypes was made by studies in domesticated animals that exhibit dazzling variation in color traits. Koi strains, the ornamental variants of the common carp, are a striking example for color variability that was selected by man during a very short period on an evolutionary timescale. Among several pigmentation genes, genetic variation in Melanocrtin receptor 1 was repeatedly associated with dark pigmentation phenotypes in numerous animals. In this study, we cloned Melanocrtin receptor 1 from the common carp. We found that alleles of the gene were not associated with the development of black color in Koi. However, the mRNA expression levels of the gene were higher during dark pigmentation development in larvae and in dark pigmented tissues of adult fish, suggesting that variation in the regulation of the gene is associated with black color in Koi. These regulatory differences are reflected in both the timing of the dark-pigmentation development and the different mode of inheritance of the two black patterns associated with them. Identifying the genetic basis of color and color patterns in Koi will promote the production of this valuable ornamental fish. Furthermore, given the rich variety of colors and patterns, Koi serves as a good model to unravel pigmentation genes and their phenotypic effects and by that to improve our understanding of the genetic basis of colors also in natural populations.

Project description:Rice flower carp (Cyprinus carpio rubrofuscus) is a subspecies of Cyprinus carpio distributed in South China. In this study, we sequenced the mitochondrial genome of C. carpio rubrofuscus using Illumina HiSeq. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. carpio rubrofuscus was 16,582 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The contents of the four bases in the mitochondrial DNA were A (31.89%), T (24.82%), C (27.53%), and G (15.76%). Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. carpio rubrofuscus was clustered with Cyprinus carpio and its varieties.

Project description:Hybridization and polyploidization may lead to divergence in adaptation and boost speciation in angiosperms and some lower animals. Epigenetic change plays a significant role in the formation and adaptation of polyploidy. Studies of the effects of methylation on genomic recombination and gene expression in allopolyploid plants have achieved good progress. However, relevant advances in polyploid animals have been relatively slower. In the present study, we used the bisexual, fertile, genetically stable allotetraploid generated by hybridization of Carassius auratus red var. and Cyprinus carpio L. to investigate cytosine methylation level using methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism (MSAP) analysis. We observed 38.31% of the methylation changes in the allotetraploid compared with the parents at 355 randomly selected CCGG sites. In terms of methylation status, these results indicate that the level of methylation modification in the allotetraploid may have increased relative to that in the parents. We also found that the major methylation changes were hypermethylation on some genomic fragments and genes related to metabolism or cell cycle regulation. These results provide circumstantial evidence that DNA methylation might be related to the gene expression and phenotype variation in allotetraploid hybrids. Our study partly fulfils the need for epigenetic research in polyploid animals, and provides evidence for the epigenetic regulation of allopolyploids.

Project description:Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is an allotetraploid species derived from recent whole genome duplication and provides a model to study polyploid genome evolution in vertebrates. Here, we generate three chromosome-level reference genomes of C. carpio and compare to related diploid Cyprinid genomes. We identify a Barbinae lineage as potential diploid progenitor of C. carpio and then divide the allotetraploid genome into two subgenomes marked by a distinct genome similarity to the diploid progenitor. We estimate that the two diploid progenitors diverged around 23 Mya and merged around 12.4 Mya based on the divergence rates of homoeologous genes and transposable elements in two subgenomes. No extensive gene losses are observed in either subgenome. Instead, we find gene expression bias across surveyed tissues such that subgenome B is more dominant in homoeologous expression. CG methylation in promoter regions may play an important role in altering gene expression in allotetraploid C. carpio.

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of the koi carp (Cyprinus carpio, Cyprinidae) was sequenced in the present study by using Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM) platform for the first time. The mitochondrial genome sequence is 16?581?bp in size and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and one control region. The gene order and organization were similar to most of the other teleost. The nucleotide compositions of the light strand are 24.82% of A, 31.92% of T, 27.53% of G and 15.73% of C. With the exception of eight tRNA genes and the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6 (ND6), all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. The phylogenetic tree constructed using a maximum-likelihood model showed sister relationship of koi carp to other Cyprinidae fishes.

Project description:TLR5 is responsible for the recognition of bacterial flagellin in vertebrates. In this study, we cloned the TLR5M gene of common carp using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) method. The TLR5M cDNA was 3182?bp in length and contained a 2658-bp open reading frame, which encoded a protein of 885 amino acids (aa). The entire coding region of the TLR5M gene was successfully amplified from genomic DNA and contained a single exon. The aa sequence of carp TLR5M showed the highest similarity (84.46%) to Cirrhinus mrigala. Tissue-specific expression analysis of the TLR5M gene by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed its broad distribution in various organs and tissues; however, the highest level of TLR5M expression was noted in the liver. TLR5M gene expression was examined after flagellin stimulation and showed highly significant (p<0.01) induction in the spleen, heart, liver and kidney. The induction of TLR5M was analyzed in various organs infected with Aeromonas hydrophila. TLR5M gene expression in the kidney and spleen was significantly (p<0.01) increased. Concurrently, modulation of TLR5M gene expression and the induction of IFN-?, IL-1?, IL-10 and TNF-?4 were analyzed in peripheral blood leucocytes after lipopolysaccharide, concanavalin A, and flagellin stimulation. In the treated group, significant induction of these genes was noted, although the intensity varied between the tissues. These findings may indicate a crucial role for TLR5M in the innate immunity of common carp in response to pathogenic invasion.

Project description:BackgroundAquaporins (Aqps) are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small solutes across cell membranes. Among vertebrate species, Aqps are highly conserved in both gene structure and amino acid sequence. These proteins are vital for maintaining water homeostasis in living organisms, especially for aquatic animals such as teleost fish. Studies on teleost Aqps are mainly limited to several model species with diploid genomes. Common carp, which has a tetraploidized genome, is one of the most common aquaculture species being adapted to a wide range of aquatic environments. The complete common carp genome has recently been released, providing us the possibility for gene evolution of aqp gene family after whole genome duplication.ResultsIn this study, we identified a total of 37 aqp genes from common carp genome. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that most of aqps are highly conserved. Comparative analysis was performed across five typical vertebrate genomes. We found that almost all of the aqp genes in common carp were duplicated in the evolution of the gene family. We postulated that the expansion of the aqp gene family in common carp was the result of an additional whole genome duplication event and that the aqp gene family in other teleosts has been lost in their evolution history with the reason that the functions of genes are redundant and conservation. Expression patterns were assessed in various tissues, including brain, heart, spleen, liver, intestine, gill, muscle, and skin, which demonstrated the comprehensive expression profiles of aqp genes in the tetraploidized genome. Significant gene expression divergences have been observed, revealing substantial expression divergences or functional divergences in those duplicated aqp genes post the latest WGD event.ConclusionsTo some extent, the gene families are also considered as a unique source for evolutionary studies. Moreover, the whole set of common carp aqp gene family provides an essential genomic resource for future biochemical, toxicological, physiological, and evolutionary studies in common carp.
