Phylogenetic analysis of 18 species in the family Gobiidae showed that P. polynema was clustered into the subfamily Gobiinae. This information will contribute to future phylogenetic studies of P. polynema and Gobiidae.
RESUMEN
In this paper, we determined the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of Gobio coriparoides and analyzed its phylogenetic position. The complete mitogenome is 16,604 bp in length. It consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 1 control region. Among the 37 genes, 28 were encoded on the heavy strand, while 9 were encoded on the light strand. The overall base composition was 28.97% for A, 18.06% for G, 26.54% for T, and 26.43% for C, with a higher A + T content (55.51%). There are some overlaps existing in G. coriparoides mitochondrial genome. The neighbor-joining (NJ) phylogenetic tree based on whole mitogenome sequences supported that G. coriparoides is the closest to G. cynocephalus. This result will provide a basic reference for understanding the genetic structure, molecular evolution, and phylogeny of G. coriparoides and related species.
RESUMEN
Rhynchocypris oxycephalus (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) is a typical small cold water fish, which is distributed widely and mainly inhabits in East Asia. Here, we sequenced and determined the complete mitochondrial genome of R. oxycephalus and studied its phylogenetic implication. R. oxycephalus mitogenome is 16,609 bp in length (GenBank accession no.: MH885043), and it contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two noncoding regions (the control region and the putative origin of light-strand replication). 12 PCGs started with ATG, while COI used GTG as the start codon. The secondary structure of tRNA-Ser (AGN) lacks the dihydrouracil (DHU) arm. The control region is 943bp in length, with a termination-associated sequence, six conserved sequence blocks (CSB-1, CSB-2, CSB-3, CSB-D, CSB-E, CSB-F), and a repetitive sequence. Phylogenetic analysis was performed with maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods based on the concatenated nucleotide sequence of 13 PCGs and the complete sequence without control region, and the result revealed that the relationship between R. oxycephalus and R. percnurus is closest, while the relationship with R. kumgangensis is farthest. The genus Rhynchocypris is revealed as a polyphyletic group, and R. kumgangensis had distant relationship with other Rhynchocypris species. In addition, COI and ND2 genes are considered as the fittest DNA barcoding gene in genus Rhynchocypris. This work provides additional molecular information for studying R. oxycephalus conservation genetics and evolutionary relationships.
RESUMEN
Half-fin anchovy (Setipinna tenuifilis) is one of the most important economic fishes around the world. In the present study, we determined the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence and organization of S. tenuifilis. The entire mitochondrial genome is a circular-molecule of 16,215 bp in length, which encodes 37 genes in all. These genes comprise 13 protein-coding genes (ATP6 and 8, COI-III, Cytb, ND1-6, and 4L), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA genes (12S and 16S rRNAs), with gene arrangement and content basically identical to those of other species of Engraulidae. The result of phylogenetic analysis strongly supported that S. tenuifilis was first clustered together with Setipinna melanochir and formed a monophyly in the genus Coilia, and then they constituted a sister-group relationship with two genus Engraulis, and Stolephorus. It concluded that the S. tenuifilis should be classified into the genus Setipinna. The present study also revealed the phylogenetic relationship of this genus at molecular levels. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of S. tenuifilis can provide basic information for the studies on molecular taxonomy and phylogeny of teleost fishes.
RESUMEN
Oyster reefs have important ecological functions and environmental service values, such as filtering water, providing fish habitats, maintaining biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. Oyster reef recovery has become one of the most important means for fishery resource conservation and ecosystems restoration of coastal regions. C. sikamea and C. ariakensis are two important reef oysters along the coast of China. However, it is very difficult to identify the larvae of these two oysters. To solve this problem, we developed two pairs of novel species-specific PCR primers for identifying these two oysters. The forward C. sikamea-specific primer is Cs-F: 5'-CGAAGAGGGGCATGATAAATGAGG-3', and the reverse primer is Cs-R: 5'-ATATGAACTTCTCCAACCTCCCC-3', both of them within the scope of mitochondrial ND5 gene. The forward C. ariakensis-specific primer is Ca-F: 5'-GGGCAAATAAAAGGCAAAACCC-3', located between tRNAser and tRNApro, and the reverse primer is Ca-R: 5'-CATAAACTTCTGCAAGACTCCC-3', lies between tRNApro and small subunit ribosomal RNA (ssrRNA). These two primers can identify the larvae of C. ariakensis and C. sikamea from other oysters rapidly and effectively, with extremely high accurate rate (=100%). This molecular identification method does not require prior sorting of larvae. These two specific primers are good contribution to molecular identification of C. sikamea, C. ariakensis and other oysters, and could be a useful tool for oyster larvae identification and ecological restoration.
RESUMEN
The phylogeography history and contemporary agents of selection for many marine fisheries, characterized by widespread species distributions in the face of significant harvest, remains poorly understood. Chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) are a widespread species in the Indo-Pacific and represent one of the top five commercially fished species in the world, yet their phylogeographic history remains unknown. We characterized the genetic diversity, structure and demographic history of S. japonicus throughout adjacent Chinese seas (from the Yellow Sea to the South China Sea). Using 220 individuals from 11 sites, we inferred 55 distinct haplotypes from complete mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences. Haplotype diversity ranged from 0.505 to 0.967 and nucleotide diversity ranged from 0.00056 to 0.01042. Genetic differentiation (Fst) statistics suggested that the highest level of differentiation existed between the SanYa and SanSha localities (Fst = 0.86977), while the lowest levels of differentiation occurred between the DongGang and ShiDao localities (Fst â¼ 0). Kimura's genetic distances ranged from 0.001 to 0.011 within and from 0.001 to 0.018 between populations. Hierarchical analysis of molecular variance, Neighbor-joining and median-joining network analyses identified significant phylogeographic structure with two localities (SanYa, Hainan of the South China Sea and LianYunGang, Jiangsu of the East China Sea) explaining most of the genetic variation observed, while the remaining populations were poorly differentiated.

The age distribution of gene duplication events within the human genome exhibits two waves of duplications along with an ancient component. However, because of functional constraint differences, genes in different functional categories might show dissimilar retention patterns after duplication. It is known that genes in some functional categories are highly duplicated in the early stage of vertebrate evolution. However, the correlations of the age distribution pattern of gene duplication between the different functional categories are still unknown. To investigate this issue, we developed a robust pipeline to date the gene duplication events in the human genome. We successfully estimated about three-quarters of the duplication events within the human genome, along with the age distribution pattern in each Gene Ontology (GO) slim category. We found that some GO slim categories show different distribution patterns when compared to the whole genome. Further hierarchical clustering of the GO slim functional categories enabled grouping into two main clusters. We found that human genes located in the duplicated copy number variant regions, whose duplicate genes have not been fixed in the human population, were mainly enriched in the groups with a high proportion of recently duplicated genes. Moreover, we used a phylogenetic tree-based method to date the age of duplications in three signaling-related gene superfamilies: transcription factors, protein kinases and G-protein coupled receptors. These superfamilies were expressed in different subcellular localizations. They showed a similar age distribution as the signaling-related GO slim categories. We also compared the differences between the age distributions of gene duplications in multiple subcellular localizations. We found that the distribution patterns of the major subcellular localizations were similar to that of the whole genome. This study revealed the whole picture of the evolution patterns of gene functional categories in the human genome.
