Abstract
Study of divergence of freshwater fish populations between island and adjacent mainland areas can shed light on the phylogeographical relationships of these regions. Neodontobutishainanensis is a freshwater fish species restricted to Hainan Island and in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces in the southern mainland China. We examine the phylogenetic relationship and population structure of N.hainanensis based on 3,176 nuclear loci using a gene-capture method. STRUCTURE analysis and principal coordinate analyses (PCA) indicate that populations from Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan are each distinct, except that some individuals of the Guangdong population share minor genetic components with individuals of the Guangxi population. In the concatenated gene tree, the Hainan population is grouped with the Guangdong population, but the coalescent tree groups the Hainan population as the sister to the Guangxi population. Finally, coalescent simulations confirmed the divergence pattern supported by the coalescent tree and revealed a one-way introgression from the Guangxi population to the Guangdong population, which can explain the discordant results supported by the concatenated and coalescent phylogenetic analyses. Due to recent decline of N.hainanensis populations and the genetic patterns in this species, as revealed in this study, the populations in the three areas should be treated as separate conservation units.

Molecular phylogenetics of the Clupeiformes based on exon-capture data and a new classification of the order. Mol Phylogenet Evol 2022; 175:107590. [PMID: 35850406 DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2022.107590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
The Clupeiformes, including among others herrings, anchovies, shads and menhadens are ecologically and commercially important, yet their phylogenetic relationships are still controversial. Previous classification of Clupeiformes were based on morphological characters or lack of synapomorphic characters. More recent studies based on molecular data as well as new morphological evidence are keeping challenging their phylogenetic relations and there is still no consensus on many interrelationships within the Clupeiformes. In this study, we collected nuclear sequence data from 4,434 single-copy protein coding loci using a gene-capture method. We obtained a robust phylogeny based on 1,165 filtered loci with less than 30 % missing data. Our major findings include: 1) reconfirmation of monophyly of the Clupeiformes, that is, Denticipitidae is sister to all other clupeiforms; 2) the polyphyletic nature of dussumieriids and early branching of Spratelloididae from all other clupeoids were confirmed using datasets curated for less missing data and more balanced base composition in the respective taxa. The next branching clade is the monophyletic Engraulidae. Pristigasteridae also is monophyletic, but it was nested in the previously defined "Clupeidae". Within Pristigasteridae there is no support for monophyletic Pelloninae. Chirocentrus is close to Dussumieria and not to engraulids. The miniaturized Sundasalanx is placed close to the ehiravine Clupeonella, however, with a relatively deep split. The genus Clupea, is not part of the diverse "Clupeidae", but part of a clade containing additionally Sprattus and Etrumeus. Within the crown group clades, Alosidae and Dorosomatidae are retrieved as sister clades. Based on new fossil calibration points, we found that major lineages of the clupeiforms diverged in the late Cretaceous and early Paleogene. The extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous may have created ecological niches, which could have fueled the diversification of clupeiform fishes. Based on the strong evidence of the present study, we propose an updated classification of Clupeiformes consisting of ten families: Denticipitidae; Spratelloididae; Engraulidae (Engraulinae + Coiliinae); Clupeidae; Chirocentridae; Dussumieriidae; Pristigasteridae; Ehiravidae; Alosidae, Dorosomatidae.

A modified protocol with less clean-up steps increased efficiency and product yield of sequencing library preparation. 3 Biotech 2022; 12:111. [PMID: 35462954 PMCID: PMC8995211 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-022-03168-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Library preparation is an essential step for the next-generation sequencing, such as whole-genome sequencing, reduced-representation genome sequencing, exome sequencing and transcriptome sequencing. The library preparation often involves many steps, including DNA fragmentation, end repair, ligation and amplification. Each step involves different enzymes and buffer systems, so many washing steps are implemented in between to clean-up the enzymes and solutes from the previous step. Those extra washing steps not only are tedious and costly, but more importantly may introduce cross-contamination and reduce the final library yield. Here, we modified the common protocol of Illumina library prep to reduce the washing steps by deactivating the enzymes with high temperature. The modified protocol has two less washing steps than the original one, which can save more than 40 min of hands-on time and reduce potential risk of cross-contamination. We compared our protocol with the original one by constructing libraries using 200 ng DNA of Tetraodon nigroviridis. The results showed that libraries prepared with the modified protocol had higher yields than that using the original protocol (53.4 ± 16.8 ng/ml vs. 8 ± 0.7 ng/ml), whereas the coverage and PCR duplication rate were similar. Furthermore, we eliminated the very first washing step after DNA shearing to preserve short DNA fragments, which increased proportion of fragments less than 100 bp DNA from 0.82 to 2.99%. In conclusion, using the modified protocols not only can save time and money, but also can generate higher yield and keep more short DNA fragments.
