Evolutionary relationships among the male and female mitochondrial DNA lineages in the Mytilus edulis species complex 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A novel form of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) inheritance has previously been
documented for the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis). Female mussels inherit
their mtDNA solely from their mother while males inherit mtDNA from both
their mother and their father. In males, the paternal mtDNA is
preferentially amplified so that the male gonad is highly enriched for the
paternal mtDNA that is then transmitted from fathers to sons. We
demonstrate that this mode of mtDNA inheritance also operates in the
closely related species M. galloprovincialis and M. trossulus. The
evolutionary relationship between the male and female mtDNA lineages is
estimated by phylogenetic analysis of 455 nucleotides from the large
subunit ribosomal RNA gene. We have found that the male and female lineages
are highly divergent; the divergence of these lineages began prior to the
speciation of the three species of blue mussels. Further, the separation
between the male and female lineages is estimated to have occurred between
5.3 and 5.7 MYA.

Lake Big Momela, one of the East African soda lakes in Northern Tanzania characterised by highly saline-alkaline conditions, making them inhospitable to a range of organisms, although supporting massive growths of some adapted planktonic microorganisms that serve as food for birds, such as Lesser Flamingo. The temporal dynamics of plankton, with an emphasis on cyanobacteria, were examined in 2007 using morphological traits and ribosomal genetic markers (16S and 18S rRNA). Cyanobacterial genes encoding for hepatotoxins (mcyE and ndaF) were also screened. Rotifers and copepods dominated the zooplankton, whereas cyanobacteria, such as Anabaenopsis elenkinii and Arthrospira fusiformis dominated the phytoplankton community, and these being related to representatives in other East African soda lakes. The cyanobacteria community also showed distinct seasonal patterns influenced by environmental parameters, mainly salinity, pH and nitrate. Significant positive correlations were found between phytoplankton abundance and nitrate concentrations (r = 0.617, p = 0.033). No signals of the hepatotoxin synthetase genes mcyE and ndaF were retrieved from cyanobacteria during the whole year. In general, our data illustrate the presence of rich planktonic communities, including some unique and potentially endemic cyanobacteria. 相似文献

Next-generation sequencing(NGS) technologies have made high-throughput sequencing available to medium- and small-size laboratories, culminating in a tidal wave of genomic information. The quantity of sequenced bacterial genomes has not only brought excitement to the field of genomics but also heightened expectations that NGS would boost antibacterial discovery and vaccine development. Although many possible drug and vaccine targets have been discovered, the success rate of genome-based analysis has remained below expectations. Furthermore, NGS has had consequences for genome quality, resulting in an exponential increase in draft(partial data) genome deposits in public databases. If no further interests are expressed for a particular bacterial genome, it is more likely that the sequencing of its genome will be limited to a draft stage, and the painstaking tasks of completing the sequencing of its genome and annotation will not be undertaken. It is important to know what is lost when we settle for a draft genome and to determine the "scientific value" of a newly sequenced genome. This review addresses the expected impact of newly sequenced genomes on antibacterial discovery and vaccinology. Also, it discusses the factors that could be leading to the increase in the number of draft deposits and the consequent loss of relevant biological information. 相似文献
