[PMID: 36627090 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2023.147186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
The family Channidae, members of which are commonly known as snakehead fish, includes 53 Channa species and three Parachanna species. In this study, we characterized mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of five Channa species (C. andrao, C. bleheri, C. ornatipinnis, C. pulchra, and C. stewartii) for the first time. We compared the mitogenomes with the mitogenomes of 11 other Channidae fish. The newly sequenced mitogenomes were 16,714 - 16,895 bp in length and contained 37 typical genes [13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs) and 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs)]. Positive AT-skews and negative GC-skews were found in the mitogenomes of Channidae. Most PCGs started with the conventional start codon, ATN; however, the sequence of the stop codon was variable. There was no essential difference in relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) among the Channidae mitogenomes. The fastest-evolving gene atp8 and slowest-evolving gene cox1 were identified using Ka/Ks and pairwise relative genetic distance (p-distance). The displacement loop (D-loop) regions showed great variability, which affected the size of Channa mitogenomes. One origin of replication on the light strand (OL) region was found between trnN and trnC in the mitogenomes of Channidae. Phylogenetic analysis revealed three new sister pairs (C. andrao + C. bleheri, C. ornatipinnis + C. pulchra, and C. stewartii + C. gachua). Phylogenetic relationships established between the five Channa species based on mitogenomes were also supported by their morphological characteristics and geographical distribution. The novel information we obtained about these mitogenomes will contribute to elucidating the complex relationships among Channa species.

Abstract
The snakehead fish, Channa siamensis, belongs to the genus of Channa (perciformes: Channidae) and was first reported by Günther in 1861. Despite it has been described approximately for 15 decades, the genetic information is limited and the taxon status of this kind of fish is still unclear. The primary objective of this study is to get more genomic data and calculate the taxon location of this kind of fish. The next generation sequencing method was used to obtain the whole mitochondrial DNA information, and bioinformatic analysis was performed to investigate the evolutionary status and taxon location of C. siamensis. The circular mitochondrial DNA was 16,570 bp in length, and which showed typical piscine structure and arrangement. The overall nucleotide composition was 29.28% A, 24.72% T, 30.71% C, 15.29% G, with 54.1% AT, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses using concatenated amino acid and nucleotide sequences of the 13 protein-coding genes with two different methods (Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analysis) both highly supported C. siamensis belongs to the genus Channa and shows a close relationship with C. micropeltes. These data will provide more useful information for a better understanding of the mitochondrial genomic diversities and evolution in fish as well as novel genetic markers for studying population genetics and species identification.

Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Macropodus opercularis was sequenced using Illumina-based de novo transcriptome technology and annotated using bioinformatic tools. The circular mitochondrial genome was 16,496bp in length and contained two ribosomal RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and the control region. The gene composition and order were similar to suborder Anabantoidei. Phylogenetic analyses using concatenated amino acid and nucleotide sequences of the 13 protein-coding genes with two different methods (Neighbor-joining and Bayesian analysis) both highly supported the close relationship of M. opercularis to M. ocellatus, consistent with previous classifications based on morphological and molecular studies. Furthermore, family Channidae and Parachanna insignis were clustered in the same clade. Our results supported the inclusion of family Channidae in suborder Channoidei. The complete mitochondrial genome of M. opercularis will provide genetic markers for better understanding species identification, population genetics and phylogeographics of freshwater fishes.
