Genome assemblies for two Neotropical trees: Jacaranda copaia and Handroanthus guayacan.

ABSTRACT: The lack of genomic resources for tropical canopy trees is impeding several research avenues in tropical forest biology. We present genome assemblies for two Neotropical hardwood species, Jacaranda copaia and Handroanthus (formerly Tabebuia) guayacan, that are model systems for research on tropical tree demography and flowering phenology. For each species, we combined Illumina short-read data with in vitro proximity-ligation (Chicago) libraries to generate an assembly. For Jacaranda copaia, we obtained 104X physical coverage and produced an assembly with N50/N90 scaffold lengths of 1.020/0.277 Mbp. For H. guayacan, we obtained 129X coverage and produced an assembly with N50/N90 scaffold lengths of 0.795/0.165 Mbp. J. copaia and H. guayacan assemblies contained 95.8% and 87.9% of benchmarking orthologs, although they constituted only 77.1% and 66.7% of the estimated genome sizes of 799 and 512 Mbp, respectively. These differences were potentially due to high repetitive sequence content (>59.31% and 45.59%) and high heterozygosity (0.5% and 0.8%) in each species. Finally, we compared each new assembly to a previously sequenced genome for Handroanthus impetiginosus using whole-genome alignment. This analysis indicated extensive gene duplication in H. impetiginosus since its divergence from H. guayacan.

Chromosomal-Level Reference Genome of the Neotropical Tree Jacaranda mimosifolia D. Don.

Project description:Jacaranda mimosifolia D. Don is a deciduous tree widely cultivated in the tropics and subtropics of the world. It is famous for its beautiful blue flowers and pinnate compound leaves. In addition, this tree has great potential in environmental monitoring, soil quality improvement, and medicinal applications. However, a genome resource for J. mimosifolia has not been reported to date. In this study, we constructed a chromosome-level genome assembly of J. mimosifolia using PacBio sequencing, Illumina sequencing, and Hi-C technology. The final genome assembly was ∼707.32 Mb in size, 688.76 Mb (97.36%) of which could be grouped into 18 pseudochromosomes, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 16.77 and 39.98 Mb, respectively. A total of 30,507 protein-coding genes were predicted, 95.17% of which could be functionally annotated. Phylogenetic analysis among 12 plant species confirmed the close genetic relationship between J. mimosifolia and Handroanthus impetiginosus. Gene family clustering revealed 481 unique, 103 significantly expanded, and 16 significantly contracted gene families in the J. mimosifolia genome. This chromosome-level genome assembly of J. mimosifolia will provide a valuable genomic resource for elucidating the genetic bases of the morphological characteristics, adaption evolution, and active compounds biosynthesis of J. mimosifolia.

Phased Diploid Genome Assemblies for Three Strains of <i>Candida albicans</i> from Oak Trees.

Project description:Although normally a harmless commensal, Candida albicans, it is also one of the most common causes of bloodstream infections in the U.S. Candida albicans has long been considered an obligate commensal, however, recent studies suggest it can live outside animal hosts. Here, we have generated PacBio sequences and phased genome assemblies for three C. albicans strains from oak trees (NCYC 4144, NCYC 4145, and NCYC 4146). PacBio datasets are high depth (over 400 fold coverage) and more than half of the sequencing data are contained in reads longer than 15 kb. Primary assemblies showed high contiguity with several chromosomes for each strain recovered as single contigs, and greater than half of the alternative haplotype sequence was assembled in haplotigs at least 174 kb long. Using these assemblies we were able to identify structural polymorphisms, including a polymorphic inversion over 100 kb in length. These results show that phased de novo diploid assemblies for C. albicans can enable the study of genomic variation within and among strains of an important fungal pathogen.

Biogeographic distributions of neotropical trees reflect their directly measured drought tolerances.

Project description:High levels of species diversity hamper current understanding of how tropical forests may respond to environmental change. In the tropics, water availability is a leading driver of the diversity and distribution of tree species, suggesting that many tropical taxa may be physiologically incapable of tolerating dry conditions, and that their distributions along moisture gradients can be used to predict their drought tolerance. While this hypothesis has been explored at local and regional scales, large continental-scale tests are lacking. We investigate whether the relationship between drought-induced mortality and distributions holds continentally by relating experimental and observational data of drought-induced mortality across the Neotropics to the large-scale bioclimatic distributions of 115 tree genera. Across the different experiments, genera affiliated to wetter climatic regimes show higher drought-induced mortality than dry-affiliated ones, even after controlling for phylogenetic relationships. This pattern is stronger for adult trees than for saplings or seedlings, suggesting that the environmental filters exerted by drought impact adult tree survival most strongly. Overall, our analysis of experimental, observational, and bioclimatic data across neotropical forests suggests that increasing moisture-stress is indeed likely to drive significant changes in floristic composition.

-Complete plastid genome sequences of two species of the Neotropical genus Brunellia (Brunelliaceae).

Project description:Here we present the first two complete plastid genomes for Brunelliaceae, a Neotropical family with a single genus, Brunellia. We surveyed the entire plastid genome in order to find variable cpDNA regions for further phylogenetic analyses across the family. We sampled morphologically different species, B. antioquensis and B. trianae, and found that the plastid genomes are 157,685 and 157,775 bp in length and display the typical quadripartite structure found in angiosperms. Despite the clear morphological distinction between both species, the molecular data show a very low level of divergence. The amount of nucleotide substitutions per site is one of the lowest reported to date among published congeneric studies (? = 0.00025). The plastid genomes have gene order and content coincident with other COM (Celastrales, Oxalidales, Malpighiales) relatives. Phylogenetic analyses of selected superrosid representatives show high bootstrap support for the ((C,M)O) topology. The N-fixing clade appears as the sister group of the COM clade and Zygophyllales as the sister to the rest of the fabids group.

Parameters affecting the early seedling development of four neotropical trees under oxygen deprivation stress.

Project description:Some of the parameters that determine flooding resistance-and consequently habitat zonation-were investigated in four neotropical trees (Schizolobium parahyba, Sebastiania commersoniana, Erythrina speciosa and Sesbania virgata). The constitutive parameters of seeds (size, nature and amount of reserves) only partly influenced resistance to flooding, mainly through a high carbohydrate : size ratio. Parameters describing metabolic efficiency under stress conditions were more important. Among them, fermentation capacity and levels of ATP and of total adenylates played a key role. The highest resistance to anoxia was associated with increased availability of free sugars, elevated alcohol dehydrogenase activity and corresponding mRNA levels, more efficient removal of ethanol and lactate, and higher adenylate levels. Finally, as a lethal consequence of energy shortage, free fatty acids were released on a massive scale in the flooding-sensitive species Schizolobium parahyba, whereas lipid hydrolysis did not occur in the most resistant species Sesbania virgata.

The chromosome-level genome assemblies of two rattans (Calamus simplicifolius and Daemonorops jenkinsiana).

Project description:Background:Calamus simplicifolius and Daemonorops jenkinsiana are two representative rattans, the most significant material sources for the rattan industry. However, the lack of reference genome sequences is a major obstacle for basic and applied biology on rattan. Findings:We produced two chromosome-level genome assemblies of C. simplicifolius and D. jenkinsiana using Illumina, Pacific Biosciences, and Hi-C sequencing data. A total of ?730 Gb and ?682 Gb of raw data covered the predicted genome lengths (?1.98 Gb of C. simplicifolius and ?1.61 Gb of D. jenkinsiana) to ?372 × and ?426 × read depths, respectively. The two de novo genome assemblies, ?1.94 Gb and ?1.58 Gb, were generated with scaffold N50s of ?160 Mb and ?119 Mb in C. simplicifolius and D. jenkinsiana, respectively. The C. simplicifolius and D. jenkinsiana genomes were predicted to harbor ?51,235 and ?53,342 intact protein-coding gene models, respectively. Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs evaluation demonstrated that genome completeness reached 96.4% and 91.3% in the C. simplicifolius and D. jenkinsiana genomes, respectively. Genome evolution showed that four Arecaceae plants clustered together, and the divergence time between the two rattans was ?19.3 million years ago. Additionally, we identified 193 and 172 genes involved in the lignin biosynthesis pathway in the C. simplicifolius and D. jenkinsiana genomes, respectively. Conclusions:We present the first de novo assemblies of two rattan genomes (C. simplicifolius and D. jenkinsiana). These data will not only provide a fundamental resource for functional genomics, particularly in promoting germplasm utilization for breeding, but also serve as reference genomes for comparative studies between and among different species.
