Abstract
Different collections and accessions of Artemisia argyi (Chinese mugwort) harbour considerable diversity in morphology and bioactive compounds, but no mechanisms have been reported that explain these variations. We studied genome size in A. argyi accessions from different regions of China by flow cytometry. Genome size was significantly distinct among origins of these 42 Chinese mugwort accessions, ranging from 8.428 to 11.717 pg. There were no significant intraspecific differences among the 42 accessions from the five regions of China. The clustering analysis showed that these 42 A. argyi accessions could be divided into three groups, which had no significant relationship with geographical location. In a genome survey, the total genome size of A. argyi (A15) was estimated to be 7.852 Gb (or 8.029 pg) by K-mer analysis. This indicated that the results from the two independent methods are consistent, and that the genome survey can be used as an adjunct to flow cytometry to compensate for its deficiencies. In addition, genome survey can provide the information about heterozygosity, repeat sequences, GC content and ploidy of A. argyi genome. The nuclear DNA contents determined here provide a new reference for intraspecific variation in genome size in A. argyi, and may also be a potential resource for the study of genetic diversity and for breeding new cultivar.

Abstract
Fish are the largest vertebrate group, consisting of more than 30 000 species with important ecological and economical value, while less than 3% of fish genomes have been published. Herein, a fish, Chirolophisjaponicus, was sequenced using the next-generation sequencing. Approximately 595.7 megabase pair of the C.japonicus genome was assembled (49 901 contigs with 42.61% GC contents), leading to a prediction of 46 729 protein-coding gene models. A total of 554 136 simple sequence repeats was identified in the whole genome of C.japonicus, and dinucleotide microsatellite motifs were the most abundant, accounting for 59.49%. Phylogenomic analysis of 16 genomes based on the 694 single-copy genes suggests that C.japonicus is closely related with Anarrhichthysocellatus, Cebidichthysviolaceus, and Pholisgunnellus. The results provide more thorough genetic information of C.japonicus and a theoretical basis and reference for further genome-wide analysis.

Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12151914. [PMID: 35953903 PMCID: PMC9367431 DOI: 10.3390/ani12151914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The shimofuri goby (Tridentiger bifasciatus) is a small and highly adaptable goby, distributed along the coasts of China, the Sea of Japan, and the west coastal and estuarine areas of the Northwest Pacific. Next-generation sequencing was used to generate genome-wide survey data to provide essential characterization of the shimofuri goby genome and for the further mining of genomic information. The genome size of the shimofuri goby was estimated to be approximately 887.60 Mb through K-mer analysis, with a heterozygosity ratio and repeat sequence ratio of 0.47% and 32.60%, respectively. The assembled genome was used to identify microsatellite motifs (Simple Sequence Repeats, SSRs), extract single-copy homologous genes and assemble the mitochondrial genome. A total of 288,730 SSRs were identified. The most frequent SSRs were dinucleotide repeats (with a frequency of 61.15%), followed by trinucleotide (29.87%), tetranucleotide (6.19%), pentanucleotide (1.13%), and hexanucleotide repeats (1.66%). The results of the phylogenetic analysis based on single-copy homologous genes showed that the shimofuri goby and Rhinogobius similis can be clustered into one branch. The shimofuri goby was originally thought to be the same as the chameleon goby (Tridentiger trigonocephalus) due to their close morphological resemblance. However, a complete mitochondrial genome was assembled and the results of the phylogenetic analysis support the inclusion of the shimofuri goby as a separate species. PSMC analysis indicated that the shimofuri goby experienced a bottleneck event during the Pleistocene Glacial Epoch, in which its population size decreased massively, and then it began to recover gradually after the Last Glacial Maximum. This study provides a reference for the further assembly of the complete genome map of the shimofuri goby, and is a valuable genomic resource for the study of its evolutionary biology.

Genomic Survey and Microsatellite Marker Investigation of Patagonian Moray Cod (Muraenolepis orangiensis). Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12131608. [PMID: 35804506 PMCID: PMC9265078 DOI: 10.3390/ani12131608] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Patagonian moray cod is known to inhabit the cold waters near Antarctica, and it belongs to the Muraenolepis genus. This genus has seven species, and five of them are recently reported. The Muraenolepis genus has similar morphological characters, and this is a limitation of taxonomical classification. In this study, a genome survey and microsatellite marker analysis were conducted to characterize the genome profile for classification. As a result, genomic data such as genome size and microsatellite motifs were obtained. Abstract The Muraenolepididae family of fishes, known as eel cods, inhabits continental slopes and shelves in the Southern Hemisphere. This family belongs to the Gadiformes order, which constitutes one of the most important commercial fish resources worldwide, but the classification of the fish species in this order is ambiguous because it is only based on the morphological and habitat characteristics of the fishes. Here, the genome of Patagonian moray cod was sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq platform, and screened for microsatellite motifs. The genome was predicted to be 748.97 Mb, with a heterozygosity rate of 0.768%, via K-mer analysis (K = 25). The genome assembly showed that the total size of scaffolds was 711.92 Mb and the N50 scaffold length was 1522 bp. Additionally, 4,447,517 microsatellite motifs were identified from the genome survey assembly, and the most abundant motif type was found to be AC/GT. In summary, these data may facilitate the identification of molecular markers in Patagonian moray cod, which would be a good basis for further whole-genome sequencing with long read sequencing technology and chromosome conformation capture technology, as well as population genetics.

Abstract
Ophichthidae fishes limit to continental shelf of all tropical and subtropical oceans and contain more than 350 species, representing the greatest specialization diversity in the order Anguiliformes. In the present study, we conducted a genome survey sequencing (GSS) analysis of Ophichthus evermanni by Illumina sequencing platform to briefly reveal its genomic characteristics and phylogenetic relationship. The first de novo assembled 1.97 Gb draft genome of O. evermanni was predicted based on K-mer analysis without obvious nucleotide bias. The heterozygosity ratio was 0.70%, and the sequence repeat ratio was calculated to be 43.30%. A total of 9016 putative coding genes were successfully predicted, in which 3587 unigenes were identified by gene ontology (GO) analysis and 4375 unigenes were classified into cluster of orthologous groups for enkaryotic complete genomes (KOG) functional categories. About 2,812,813 microsatellite motifs including mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta- and hexanucleotide motifs were identified, with an occurrence frequency of 23.32%. The most abundant type was dinucleotide repeat motifs, accounting for 49.19% of the total repeat types. The mitochondrial genome, as a byproduct of GSS, was assembled to investigate the evolutionary relationships between O. evermanni and its relatives. Bayesian inference (BI) phylogenetic tree inferring from concatenated 12 protein-coding genes (PCGs) showed complicated relationships among Ophichthidae species, indicating a polyphyletic origin of the family. The results would achieve more thorough genetic information of snake eels and provide a theoretical basis and reference for further genome-wide analysis of O. evermanni.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The dojo loach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is an important economic species in Asia because of its nutritional value and broad environmental adaptability. Despite its economic importance, genomic data for M. anguillicaudatus is currently unavailable. METHODS AND RESULTS In the present study, we conducted a genome survey of M. anguillicaudatus using next-generation sequencing technology. Its genome size was estimated to be 1105.97 Mb by using K-mer analysis, and its heterozygosity ratio, repeat sequence content, GC content were 1.45%, 58.98%, and 38.03%, respectively. A total of 376,357 microsatellite motifs were identified, and mononucleotides, with a frequency of 42.57%, were the most frequently repeated motifs, followed by 40.83% dinucleotide, 7.49% trinucleotide, 8.09% tetranucleotide, and 0.91% pentanucleotide motifs. The AC/GT, AAT/ATT, and ACAG/CTGT repeats were the most abundant motifs among dinucleotide, trinucleotide, and tetranucleotide motifs, respectively. Besides, the complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced. Based on the Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses, M. anguillicaudatus yingde in this study was the "introgressed" mitochondrial type. Seventy microsatellite loci were randomly selected from detected SSR loci to test polymorphic, of which, 20 microsatellite loci were assessed in 30 individuals from a wild population. The number of alleles (Na), observed heterozygosity (Ho), and expected heterozygosity (He) per locus ranged from 7 to 19, 0.400 to 0.933, and 0.752 to 0.938, respectively. All 20 loci were highly informative (PIC > 0.700). Eight loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium after Bonferroni correction (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This is the first report of genome survey sequencing in M. anguillicaudatus, genome information, mitochondrial genome, and microsatellite markers will be valuable for further studies on population genetic analysis, natural resource conservation, and molecular marker-assisted selective breeding.

Abstract
Sebastiscus species, marine rockfishes, are of essential economic value. However, the genomic data of this genus is lacking and incomplete. Here, whole genome sequencing of all species of Sebastiscus was conducted to provide fundamental genomic information. The genome sizes were estimated to be 802.49 Mb (S. albofasciatus), 786.79 Mb (S. tertius), and 776.00 Mb (S. marmoratus) by using k-mer analyses. The draft genome sequences were initially assembled, and genome-wide microsatellite motifs were identified. The heterozygosity, repeat ratios, and numbers of microsatellite motifs all suggested possibly that S. tertius is more closely related to S. albofasciatus than S. marmoratus at the genetic level. Moreover, the complete mitochondrial genome sequences were assembled from the whole genome data and the phylogenetic analyses genetically supported the validation of Sebastiscus species. This study provides an important genome resource for further studies of Sebastiscus species.

Abstract
Harpadon nehereus forms one of the most important commercial fisheries along the Bay of Bengal and the southeast coast of China. In this study, the genome-wide survey dataset first produced using next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to provide general information on the genome size, heterozygosity and repeat sequence ratio of H. nehereus. About 68.74 GB of high-quality sequence data were obtained in total and the genome size was estimated to be 1315 Mb with the 17-mer frequency distribution. The sequence repeat ratio and heterozygosity were calculated to be 52.49% and 0.67%, respectively. A total of 1,027,651 microsatellite motifs were identified and dinucleotide repeat was the most dominant simple sequence repeat (SSR) motif with a frequency of 54.35%. As a by-product of whole genome sequencing, the mitochondrial genome is a powerful tool to investigate the evolutionary relationships between H. nehereus and its relatives. The maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree was constructed according to the concatenated matrix of amino acids translated from the 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs). Monophyly of two species of the genus Harpadon was revealed in the present study and they formed a monophyletic clade with Saurida with a high bootstrap value of 100%. The results would help to push back the frontiers of genomics and open the doors of molecular diversity as well as conservation genetics studies on this species.

Abstract
The genus Pogonophryne is a speciose group that includes 28 species inhabiting the coastal or deep waters of the Antarctic Southern Ocean. The genus has been divided into five species groups, among which the P. albipinna group is the most deep-living group and is characterized by a lack of spots on the top of the head. Here, we carried out genome survey sequencing of P. albipinna using the Illumina HiSeq platform to estimate the genomic characteristics and identify genome-wide microsatellite motifs. The genome size was predicted to be ∼883.8 Mb by K-mer analysis (K = 25), and the heterozygosity and repeat ratio were 0.289 and 39.03%, respectively. The genome sequences were assembled into 571624 contigs, covering a total length of ∼819.3 Mb with an N50 of 2867 bp. A total of 2217422 simple sequence repeat (SSR) motifs were identified from the assembly data, and the number of repeats decreased as the length and number of repeats increased. These data will provide a useful foundation for the development of new molecular markers for the P. albipinna group as well as for further whole-genome sequencing of P. albipinna.
