Project description:The chloroplasts are a crucial part of photosynthesizing plant cells and are extensively utilized in phylogenetic studies mainly due to their maternal inheritance. Characterization and analysis of complete plastome sequences is necessary to understand their diversity and evolutionary relationships. Here, a panel of thirteen plastomes from various potato taxa are presented. Though they are highly similar with respect to gene order and content, there is also a great extent of SNPs and InDels between them, with one of the Solanum bukasovii plastomes (BUK2) having the highest number of SNPs and InDels. Five different potato plastome types (C, S, A, W, W2) are present in the panel. Interestingly, the S. tuberosum subsp. tuberosum (TBR) accession has a W-type plastome, which is not commonly found in this species. The S-type plastome has a conserved 48 bp deletion not found in other types, which is responsible for the divergence of the S-type from the C-type plastome. Finally, a phylogenetic analysis shows that these plastomes cluster according to their types. Congruence between the nuclear genome and the plastome phylogeny of these accessions was seen, however with considerable differences, supporting the hypothesis of introgression and hybridization between potato species.

Project description:The potato mitogenome is complex and to understand various biological functions and nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions, it is important to characterize its gene content and structure. In this study, the complete mitogenome sequences of nine diploid potato clones along with a diploid Solanum okadae clone were characterized. Each mitogenome was assembled and annotated from Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) long reads and 10X genomics short reads. The results show that each mitogenome consists of multiple circular molecules with similar structure and gene organization, though two groups (clones 07506-01, DW84-1457, 08675-21 and H412-1 in one group, and clones W5281-2, 12625-02, 12120-03 and 11379-03 in another group) could be distinguished, and two mitogenomes (clone 10908-06 and OKA15) were not consistent with those or with each other. Significant differences in the repeat structure of the 10 mitogenomes were found, as was recombination events leading to multiple sub-genomic circles. Comparison between individual molecules revealed a translocation of ∼774 bp region located between a short repeat of 40 bp in molecule 3 of each mitogenome, and an insertion of the same in molecule 2 of the 10908-06 mitogenome. Finally, phylogenetic analyses revealed a close relationship between the mitogenomes of these clones and previously published potato mitogenomes.

Project description:BackgroundCoccidiosis caused by Eimeria is one of the most severe chicken diseases and poses a great economic threat to the poultry industry. Understanding the evolutionary biology of chicken Eimeria parasites underpins development of new interactions toward the improved prevention and control of this poultry disease.MethodsWe presented an evolutionary blueprint of chicken coccidia by genetically characterizing complete mitogenome assemblies of 33 isolates representing all seven known Eimeria species infecting chickens in China. Further genome- and gene-level phylogenies were also achieved to better understand the evolutionary relationships of these chicken Eimeria at the species level.Results33 mitogenomes of chicken eimerian parasites ranged from 6148 bp to 6480 bp in size and encoded typical mitochondrial compositions of apicomplexan parasites including three protein-coding genes (PCGs), seven fragmented small subunit (SSU) and 12/13 fragmented large subunit (LSU) rRNAs. Comparative genomics provided an evolutionary scenario for the genetic diversity of PCGs-cytochrome c oxidase subunits 1 and 3 (cox1 and cox3) and cytochrome b (cytb); all were under purifying selection with cox1 and cox3 being the lowest and highest evolutionary rates, respectively. Genome-wide phylogenies classified the 33 Eimeria isolates into seven subgroups, and furthermore Eimeria tenella and Eimeria necatrix were determined to be more closely related to each other than to the other eight congenic species. Single/concatenated mitochondrial protein gene-based phylogenies supported cox1 as the genetic marker for evolutionary and phylogenetic studies for avain coccidia.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, these are the first population-level mitogenomic data on the genus Eimeria, and its comprehensive molecular characterization provides valuable resources for systematic, population genetic and evolutionary biological studies of apicomplexan parasites in poultry.

Project description:Complete mitochondrial genome of Phytophthora infestans, A2 mating type (MT) with a size of ≅37,767 bp was sequenced. A total of 53 protein-coding genes are predicted on both strands, including 25 tRNA, 2 rRNA, and 18 respiratory proteins. Gene order of A2MT was consistent with that established in A1, despite high level of polymorphism in both coding and non-coding regions. The mtDNA of A2MT was found to have 99.5% and 99.4% homology with Ia and Ib, whereas 94.7% and 94.3% with IIa and IIb, respectively. Study of repeats revealed a dinucleotide (AT)9 specific to A1 and homology of cox1 gene sequence revealed the relationship among 50 Phytophthora species.

Project description:Key messageTwelve potato accessions were selected to represent two principal views on potato taxonomy. The genomes were sequenced and analyzed for structural variation (copy number variation) against three published potato genomes. The common potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important staple crop with a highly heterozygous and complex tetraploid genome. The other taxa of cultivated potato contain varying ploidy levels (2X-5X), and structural variations are common in the genomes of these species, likely contributing to the diversification or agronomic traits during domestication. Increased understanding of the genomes and genomic variation will aid in the exploration of novel agronomic traits. Thus, sequencing data from twelve potato landraces, representing the four ploidy levels, were used to identify structural genomic variation compared to the two currently available reference genomes, a double monoploid potato genome and a diploid inbred clone of S. chacoense. The results of a copy number variation analysis showed that in the majority of the genomes, while the number of deletions is greater than the number of duplications, the number of duplicated genes is greater than the number of deleted ones. Specific regions in the twelve potato genomes have a high density of CNV events. Further, the auxin-induced SAUR genes (involved in abiotic stress), disease resistance genes and the 2-oxoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent oxygenase superfamily proteins, among others, had increased copy numbers in these sequenced genomes relative to the references.

Project description:Whole mitogenome sequences (mtDNA) have been exploited for insect ecology studies, using them as molecular markers to reconstruct phylogenies, or to infer phylogeographic relationships and gene flow. Recent Anopheles phylogenomic studies have provided information regarding the time of deep lineage divergences within the genus. Here we report the complete 15,393 bp mtDNA sequences of Anopheles aquasalis, a Neotropical human malaria vector. When comparing its structure and base composition with other relevant and available anopheline mitogenomes, high similarity and conserved genomic features were observed. Furthermore, 22 mtDNA sequences comprising anopheline and Dipteran sibling species were analyzed to reconstruct phylogenies and estimate dates of divergence between taxa. Phylogenetic analysis using complete mtDNA sequences suggests that A. aquasalis diverged from the Anopheles albitarsis complex ~28 million years ago (MYA), and ~38 MYA from Anopheles darlingi. Bayesian analysis suggests that the most recent ancestor of Nyssorhynchus and Anopheles + Cellia was extant ~83 MYA, corroborating current estimates of ~79-100 MYA. Additional sampling and publication of African, Asian, and North American anopheline mitogenomes would improve the resolution of the Anopheles phylogeny and clarify early continental dispersal routes.

Project description:Structural characterization of chromatin is challenging due to conformational and compositional heterogeneity in vivo and dynamic properties that limit achievable resolution in vitro. Although the maximum resolution for solving structures of large macromolecular assemblies by electron microscopy has recently undergone profound increases, X-ray crystallographic approaches may still offer advantages for certain systems. One such system is compact chromatin, wherein the crystalline state recapitulates the crowded molecular environment within the nucleus. Here we show that nucleosomal constructs with cohesive-ended DNA can be designed that assemble into different types of circular configurations or continuous fibers extending throughout crystals. We demonstrate the utility of the method for characterizing nucleosome compaction and linker histone binding at near-atomic resolution but also advance its application for tackling further problems in chromatin structural biology and for generating novel types of DNA nanostructures. We provide a library of cohesive-ended DNA fragment expression constructs and a strategy for engineering DNA-based nanomaterials with a seemingly vast potential variety of architectures and histone chemistries.

Project description:Hierarchical assemblies of functional nanoparticles can have applications exceeding those of individual constituents. Arranging components in a certain order, even at the atomic scale, can result in emergent effects. We demonstrate that printed atomic ordering is achieved in multiscale hierarchical structures, including nanoparticles, superlattices, and macroarrays. The CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocubes self-assemble into superlattices in ordered arrays controlled across 10 scales. These structures behave as single nanoparticles, with diffraction patterns similar to those of single crystals. The assemblies repeat as two-dimensional planar unit cells, forming crystalline superlattice arrays. The fluorescence intensity of these arrays is 5.2 times higher than those of random aggregate arrays. The multiscale coherent states can be printed on a meter-scale panel as a micropixel light-producing layer of primary-color photon emitters. These hierarchical assemblies can boost the performance of optoelectronic devices and enable the development of high-efficiency, directional quantum light sources.
