Abstract
Dysomma anguillare is a demersal eel widespread distributing in tropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific and Atlantic. As an important component of the coastal fishery and marine ecosystem, the lack of genomic information for this species severely restricts the progress of relevant researches. In this study, the abecedarian genome-wide characteristics and phylogenetic relationships analyses were carried out based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform. The revised genome size was approximately 1 310 Mb, with the largest scaffold length reaching 23 878 bp through K-mer (K = 17) method. The heterozygosity, repetitive rate and average GC content were about 0.94%, 51.93% and 42.23%, respectively. A total of 1 160 104 microsatellite motifs were identified from the de novo assembled genome of D. anguillare, in which dinucleotide repeats accounted for the largest proportion (592 234, 51.05%), the highest occurrence frequency (14.58%) as well as the largest relative abundance (379.27/Mb). The high-polymorphic and moderate-polymorphic loci composed around 73% of the total single sequence repeats (SSRs), showing a latent capacity for subsequent population genetic structure and genetic diversity appraisal researches. Another byproduct of whole-genome sequencing, the double-stranded and circular mitogenome (16 690 bp) was assembled to investigate the evolutionary relationships of D. anguillare. The phylogenic tree constructed with maximum likelihood (ML) method showed that D. anguillare was closely related to Synaphobranchidae species, and the molecular systematic results further supported classical taxonomy status of D. anguillare.

[PMID: 37208610 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-023-09359-5] [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: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ilex pubescens is an important traditional Chinese medicinal plant with many naturally occurring compounds and multiple pharmacological effects. However, the lack of reference genomic information has led to tardiness in molecular biology research and breeding programs of this plant. RESULTS To obtain knowledge on the genomic information of I. pubescens, a genome survey was performed for the first time by next generation sequencing (NGS) together with genome size estimation using flow cytometry. The whole genome survey of I. pubescens generated 46.472 Gb of sequence data with approximately 82.2 × coverage. K-mer analysis indicated that I. pubescens has a small genome of approximately 553 Mb with 1.93% heterozygosity rate and 39.1% repeat rate. Meanwhile, the genome size was estimated to be 722 Mb using flow cytometry, which was possibly more precise for assessment of genome size than k-mer analysis. A total of 45.842 Gb clean reads were assembled into 808,938 scaffolds with a relatively short N50 of 760 bp. The average guanine and cytosine (GC) content was 37.52%. In total, 197,429 microsatellite motifs were detected with a frequency of 2.8 kb, among which mononucleotide motifs were the most abundant (up to 62.47% of the total microsatellite motifs), followed by dinucleotide and trinucleotide motifs. CONCLUSION In summary, the genome of I. pubescens is small but complex with a high level of heterozygosity. Even though not successfully applied for estimation of genome size due to its complex genome, the survey sequences will help to design whole genome sequencing strategies and provide genetic information support for resource protection, genetic diversity analysis, genetic improvement and artificial breeding of I. pubescens.

Biodivers Data J 2023; 11:e100068. [PMID: 38327339 PMCID: PMC10848815 DOI: 10.3897/bdj.11.e100068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Microsatellite loci were screened from the genomic data of Dysommaanguillare and their composition and distribution were analysed by bioinformatics for the first time. The results showed that 4,060,742 scaffolds with a total length of 1,562 Mb were obtained by high-throughput sequencing and 1,160,104 microsatellite loci were obtained by MISA screening, which were distributed on 770,294 scaffolds. The occurrence frequency and relative abundance were 28.57% and 743/Mb, respectively. Amongst the six complete microsatellite types, dinucleotide repeats accounted for the largest proportion (592,234, 51.05%), the highest occurrence frequency (14.58%) and the largest relative abundance (379.27/Mb). A total of 1488 microsatellite repeats were detected in the genome of D.anguillare, amongst which the hexanucleotide repeat motifs were the most abundant (608), followed by pentanucleotide repeat motifs (574), tetranucleotide repeat motifs (232), trinucleotide repeat motifs (59), dinucleotide repeat motifs (11) and mononucleotide repeat motifs (4). The abundance of microsatellites of the same repeat type decreased with the increase of copy numbers. Amongst the six types of nucleotide repeats, the preponderance of repeated motifs are A (191,390, 43.77%), CA (150,240, 25.37%), AAT (13,168, 14.05%), CACG (2,649, 8.14%), TAATG (119, 19.16%) and CCCTAA (190, 19.16%, 7.65%), respectively. The data of the number, distribution and abundance of different types of microsatellites in the genome of D.anguillare were obtained in this study, which would lay a foundation for the development of high-quality microsatellite markers of D.anguillare in the future.

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.

[PMID: 35502704 PMCID: PMC9142832 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20220460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
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.
