Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Polythlipta liquidalis Leech, 1889 was sequenced and annotated in this study, which was the first reported complete mitogenome of the genus Polythlipta. The mitogenome of P. liquidalis is 15,305 bp in length and was predicted to encode 37 typical mitochondrial genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and one major non-coding A-T rich region. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis based on the 13 PCGs was constructed, including P. liquidalis and 15 related Spilomelinae species, using Ostrinia furnacalis as the outgroup. The result showed that P. liquidalis is grouped with Sinomphisa plagialis. These data will serve as a molecular resource for species identification of P. liquidalis and become a valuable resource for a range of genetic, functional, evolutionary and comparative genomic studies on members of Spilomelinae.

Abstract
Tuerkayana is of particular interest because it has been separated, in recent years, from Cardisoma and Discoplax but studies of its taxonomic status, especially from a whole mitochondrial genome perspective, have been lacking. In this study, the mitogenomes of four species (Tuerkayana magnum, Tuerkayana rotundum, Tuerkayana hirtipes, and Tuerkayana celeste) of Tuerkayana are sequenced and contrasted with other species in Brachyura for the first time. The phylogenetic tree of Brachyura, which includes 206 crab species (189 species of Brachyuran and 17 Anomura species) with a complete mitogenome, was constructed to evaluate the phylogenetic position of Tuerkayana and Gecarcinidae within Brachyuran, and explore the monophyly of Gecarcinidae. Furthermore, two single gene trees based on cox1 and 16SrRNA separately within interspecies of Gecarcinidae were reconstructed, providing molecular evidence for Tuerkayana and further clarifying the division of genera in Gecarcinidae. Based on the mitogenome dataset of 206 crabs, the branch-site model was utilized to explore selective pressure in individual codons with CodeML. The strong selective pressure shown in nad6 indicates that it may have played a significant role in the evolution of Gecarcinidae.

Abstract
Genome skimming is defined as low-pass sequencing below 0.05× coverage and is typically used for mitochondrial genome recovery and species identification. Long-read nanopore sequencers enable simultaneous reading of both DNA sequence and methylation and can multiplex samples for low-cost genome skimming. Here I present nanopore sequencing as a highly precise platform for global DNA methylation and transposon assessment. At coverage of just 0.001×, or 30 Mb of reads, accuracy is sub-1%. Biological and technical replicates validate high precision. Skimming 40 vertebrate species reveals conserved patterns of global methylation consistent with whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and an average mapping rate >97%. Genome size directly correlates to global DNA methylation, explaining 39% of its variance. Accurate SINE and LINE transposon methylation in both the mouse and primates can be obtained with just 0.0001× coverage, or 3 Mb of reads. Sample multiplexing, field portability, and the low price of this instrument combine to make genome skimming for DNA methylation an accessible method for epigenetic assessment from ecology to epidemiology and for low-resource groups.

Abstract
Polypodium hydriforme is an enigmatic parasite that belongs to the phylum Cnidaria. Its taxonomic position has been debated: whereas it was previously suggested to be part of Medusozoa, recent phylogenomic analyses based on nuclear genes support the view that P. hydriforme and Myxozoa form a clade called Endocnidozoa. Medusozoans have linear mitochondrial (mt) chromosomes, whereas myxozoans, as most metazoan species, have circular chromosomes. In this work, we determined the structure of the mt genome of P. hydriforme, using Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Technologies reads, and showed that it is circular. This suggests that P. hydriforme is not nested within Medusozoa, as this would entail linearization followed by recirculation. Instead, our results support the view that P. hydriforme is a sister clade to Myxozoa, and mt linearization in the lineage leading to medusozoans occurred after the divergence of Myxozoa + P. hydriforme. Detailed analyses of the assembled P. hydriforme mt genome show that: (1) it is encoded on a single circular chromosome with an estimated size of ∼93,000 base pairs, making it one of the largest metazoan mt genomes; (2) around 78% of the genome encompasses a noncoding region composed of several repeat types; (3) similar to Myxozoa, no mt tRNAs were identified; (4) the codon TGA is a stop codon and does not encode for tryptophan as in other cnidarians; (5) similar to myxozoan mt genomes, it is extremely fast evolving.

Benchmarking low-coverage nanopore long-read sequencing for the assembling of mitochondrial genomes using the vulnerable silky shark Carcharhinus falciformis. BMC Genomics 2022; 23:320. [PMID: 35459089 PMCID: PMC9027416 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-022-08482-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 03/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Whole mitochondrial genomes are quickly becoming markers of choice for the exploration of within-species genealogical and among-species phylogenetic relationships. Most often, ‘primer walking’ or ‘long PCR’ strategies plus Sanger sequencing or low-pass whole genome sequencing using Illumina short reads are used for the assembling of mitochondrial chromosomes. In this study, we first confirmed that mitochondrial genomes can be sequenced from long reads using nanopore sequencing data exclusively. Next, we examined the accuracy of the long-reads assembled mitochondrial chromosomes when comparing them to a ‘gold’ standard reference mitochondrial chromosome assembled using Illumina short-reads sequencing. Results Using a specialized bioinformatics tool, we first produced a short-reads mitochondrial genome assembly for the silky shark C. falciformis with an average base coverage of 9.8x. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. falciformis was 16,705 bp in length and 934 bp shorter than a previously assembled genome (17,639 bp in length) that used bioinformatics tools not specialized for the assembly of mitochondrial chromosomes. Next, low-pass whole genome sequencing using a MinION ONT pocket-sized platform plus customized de-novo and reference-based workflows assembled and circularized a highly accurate mitochondrial genome in the silky shark Carcharhinus falciformis. Indels at the flanks of homopolymer regions explained most of the dissimilarities observed between the ‘gold’ standard reference mitochondrial genome (assembled using Illumina short reads) and each of the long-reads mitochondrial genome assemblies. Although not completely accurate, mitophylogenomics and barcoding analyses (using entire mitogenomes and the D-Loop/Control Region, respectively) suggest that long-reads assembled mitochondrial genomes are reliable for identifying a sequenced individual, such as C. falciformis, and separating the same individual from others belonging to closely related congeneric species. Conclusions This study confirms that mitochondrial genomes can be sequenced from long-reads nanopore sequencing data exclusively. With further development, nanopore technology can be used to quickly test in situ mislabeling in the shark fin fishing industry and thus, improve surveillance protocols, law enforcement, and the regulation of this fishery. This study will also assist with the transferring of high-throughput sequencing technology to middle- and low-income countries so that international scientists can explore population genomics in sharks using inclusive research strategies. Lastly, we recommend assembling mitochondrial genomes using specialized assemblers instead of other assemblers developed for bacterial and/or nuclear genomes.

Abstract
Background Whole mitogenomes or short fragments (i.e., 300–700 bp of the cox1 gene) are the markers of choice for revealing within- and among-species genealogies. Protocols for sequencing and assembling mitogenomes include ‘primer walking’ or ‘long PCR’ followed by Sanger sequencing or Illumina short-read low-coverage whole genome (LC-WGS) sequencing with or without prior enrichment of mitochondrial DNA. The aforementioned strategies assemble complete and accurate mitochondrial genomes but are time consuming and/or expensive. In this study, I first tested whether mitogenomes can be sequenced from long-read nanopore sequencing data exclusively. Second, I explored the accuracy of the long-read assembled genomes by comparing them to a ‘gold’ standard reference mitogenome retrieved from the same individual using Illumina sequencing. Third and lastly, I tested if the long-read assemblies are useful for mitophylogenomics and barcoding research. To accomplish these goals, I used the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus, an ecologically relevant species in shallow water coral reefs and target of the most lucrative fishery in the greater Caribbean region. Results LC-WGS using a MinION ONT device and various de-novo and reference-based assembly pipelines retrieved a complete and highly accurate mitogenome for the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus. Discordance between each of the long-read assemblies and the reference mitogenome was mostly due to indels at the flanks of homopolymer regions. Although not ‘perfect’, phylogenetic analyses using entire mitogenomes or a fragment of the cox1 gene demonstrated that mitogenomes assembled using long reads reliably identify the sequenced specimen as belonging to P. argus and distinguish it from other related species in the same genus, family, and superorder. Conclusions This study serves as a proof-of-concept for the future implementation of in-situ surveillance protocols using the MinION to detect mislabeling in P. argus across its supply chain. Mislabeling detection will improve fishery management in this overexploited lobster. This study will additionally aid in decreasing costs for exploring meta-population connectivity in the Caribbean spiny lobster and will aid with the transfer of genomics technology to low-income countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondrial DNA is remarkably polymorphic. This is why animal geneticists survey mitochondrial genomes variations for fundamental and applied purposes. We present here an approach to sequence whole mitochondrial genomes using nanopore long-read sequencing. Our method relies on the selective elimination of nuclear DNA using an exonuclease treatment and on the amplification of circular mitochondrial DNA using a multiple displacement amplification step. RESULTS We optimized each preparative step to obtain a 100 million-fold enrichment of horse mitochondrial DNA relative to nuclear DNA. We sequenced these amplified mitochondrial DNA using nanopore sequencing technology and obtained mitochondrial DNA reads that represented up to half of the sequencing output. The sequence reads were 2.3 kb of mean length and provided an even coverage of the mitochondrial genome. Long-reads spanning half or more of the whole mtDNA provided a coverage that varied between 118X and 488X. We evaluated SNPs identified using these long-reads by Sanger sequencing as ground truth and found a precision of 100.0%; a recall of 93.1% and a F1-score of 0.964 using the Twilight horse mtDNA reference. The choice of the mtDNA reference impacted variant calling efficiency with F1-scores varying between 0.947 and 0.964. CONCLUSIONS Our method to amplify mtDNA and to sequence it using the nanopore technology is usable for mitochondrial DNA variant analysis. With minor modifications, this approach could easily be applied to other large circular DNA molecules.

Abstract
World production of farmed crustaceans was 7.8 million tons in 2016. While only making up approximately 10% of world aquaculture production, crustaceans are generally high-value species and can earn significant export income for producing countries. Viet Nam is a major seafood producing country earning USD 7.3 billion in 2016 in export income with shrimp as a major commodity. However, there is a general lack of genomic resources available for shrimp species, which is challenging to obtain due to the need to deal with large repetitive genomes, which characterize many decapod crustaceans. The first tiger prawn (P. monodon) genome assembly was assembled in 2016 using the standard Illumina PCR-based pair-end reads and a computationally-efficient but relatively suboptimal assembler, SOAPdenovo v2. As a result, the current P. monodon draft genome is highly fragmented (> 2 million scaffolds with N50 length of <1000 bp), exhibiting only moderate genome completeness (< 35% BUSCO complete single-copy genes). We sought to improve upon the recently published P. monodon genome assembly and completeness by generating Illumina PCR-free pair-end sequencing reads to eliminate genomic gaps associated with PCR-bias and performing de novo assembly using the updated MaSurCA de novo assembler. Furthermore, we scaffolded the assembly with low coverage Nanopore long reads and several recently published deep Illumina transcriptome paired-end sequencing data, producing a final genome assembly of 1.6 Gbp (1,211,364 scaffolds; N50 length of 1982 bp) with an Arthropod BUSCO completeness of 96.8%. Compared to the previously published P. monodon genome assembly from China (NCBI Accession Code: NIUS01), this represents an almost 20% increase in the overall BUSCO genome completeness that now consists of more than 90% of Arthropod BUSCO single-copy genes. The revised P. monodon genome assembly (NCBI Accession Code: VIGR01) will be a valuable resource to support ongoing functional genomics and molecular-based breeding studies in Vietnam.

Gan HM, Austin CM. Nanopore long reads enable the first complete genome assembly of a Malaysian Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolate bearing the pVa plasmid associated with acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease. F1000Res 2019.

Abstract
Background: The genome of Vibrio parahaemolyticus MVP1, isolated from a Malaysian aquaculture farm with shrimp acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND), was previously sequenced using Illumina MiSeq and assembled de novo, producing a relatively fragmented assembly. Despite identifying the binary toxin genes in the MVP1 draft genome that were linked to AHPND, the toxin genes were localized on a very small contig precluding proper analysis of gene neighbourhood. Methods: The genome of MVP1 was sequenced on Nanopore MinION to obtain long reads to improve genome contiguity. De novo genome assembly was performed using long-read only assembler followed by genome polishing and hybrid assembler. Results: Long-read assembly produced three complete circular MVP1 contigs: chromosome 1, chromosome 2 and the pVa plasmid encoding pirABvp binary toxin genes. Polishing of the long-read assembly with Illumina short reads was necessary to remove indel errors. Complete assembly of the pVa plasmid could not be achieved using Illumina reads due to identical repetitive elements flanking the binary toxin genes leading to multiple contigs. These regions were fully spanned by the Nanopore long-reads resulting in a single contig. Alignment of Illumina reads to the complete genome assembly indicated there is sequencing bias as read depth was lowest in low-GC genomic regions. Comparative genomic analysis revealed a gene cluster coding for additional insecticidal toxins in chromosome 2 of MVP1 that may further contribute to host pathogenesis pending functional validation. Scanning of publicly available V. parahaemolyticus genomes revealed the presence of a single AinS-family quorum-sensing system that can be targeted for future microbial management. Conclusions: We generated the first chromosome-scale genome assembly of a Malaysian pirABVp-bearing V. parahaemolyticus isolate. Structural variations identified from comparative genomic analysis provide new insights into the genomic features of V. parahaemolyticus MVP1 that may be associated with host colonization and pathogenicity.
