It is rated as a vulnerable species in the Red List of China's Vertebrates, owing to overexploitation and biological invasion. S. waltoni plays an important role in ecology and local fishery economy, but little information is known about genetic diversity, local adaptation, immune system and so on. Functional gene identification and molecular marker development are the first and essential step for the following biological function and genetics studies. For this purpose, the transcriptome from pooled tissues of three adult S. waltoni was sequenced and Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. analyzed. Using paired-end reads from the Illumina Hiseq4000 platform, 83 103 transcripts with an N50 length of 2337 bp were assembled, which could be further clustered into 66 975 unigenes with an N50 length of 2087 bp. The majority of the unigenes (58 934, 87.99%) were successfully annotated by 7 public databases, and 15 KEGG pathways of immune-related genes were identified for the following functional research. Furthermore, 19 497 putative simple sequence repeats (SSRs) of 1–6 bp unit length were detected from 14 690 unigenes (21.93%) with an average distribution density of 1 : 3.28 kb.

Abstract Background: Paedocypris, a highly developmentally truncated fish from peat swamp forests in Southeast Asia, comprises the world's smallest vertebrate. Although clearly a cyprinid fish, a hypothesis about its phylogenetic position among the subfamilies of this largest teleost family, with over 2400 species, does not exist.

    viruses Article Discovery and Characterization of Actively Replicating DNA and Retro-Transcribing Viruses in Lower Vertebrate Hosts Based on RNA Sequencing Xin-Xin Chen, Wei-Chen Wu and Mang Shi * School of Medicine, Sun Yat-sen University, Shenzhen 518107, China; [email protected] (X.-X.C.); [email protected] (W.-C.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In a previous study, a metatranscriptomics survey of RNA viruses in several important lower vertebrate host groups revealed huge viral diversity, transforming the understanding of the evolution of vertebrate-associated RNA virus groups. However, the diversity of the DNA and retro-transcribing viruses in these host groups was left uncharacterized. Given that RNA sequencing is capable of revealing viruses undergoing active transcription and replication, we collected previously generated datasets associated with lower vertebrate hosts, and searched them for DNA and retro-transcribing viruses. Our results revealed the complete genome, or “core gene sets”, of 18 vertebrate-associated DNA and retro-transcribing viruses in cartilaginous fishes, ray- finned fishes, and amphibians, many of which had high abundance levels, and some of which showed systemic infections in multiple organs, suggesting active transcription or acute infection within the host. Furthermore, these new findings recharacterized the evolutionary history in the families Hepadnaviridae, Papillomaviridae, and Alloherpesviridae, confirming long-term virus–host codivergence relationships for these virus groups.

    Genes Genet. Syst. (2014) 89, p. 187–191 Polyphyletic origins of schizothoracine fish (Cyprinidae, Osteichthyes) and adaptive evolution in their mitochondrial genomes Takahiro Yonezawa1,2, Masami Hasegawa1,2 and Yang Zhong1,3* 1School of Life Sciences, Fudan University, SongHu Rd. 2005, Shanghai 200438, China 2The Institute of Statistical Mathematics, Midori-cho 10-3, Tachikawa, Tokyo 190-8562, Japan 3Institute of Biodiversity Science and Geobiology, Tibet University, JiangSu Rd. 36, Lhasa, 850000, China (Received 25 July 2014, accepted 9 October 2014) The schizothoracine fish, also called snow trout, are members of the Cyprinidae, and are the most diversified teleost fish in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Clarifying the evolutionary history of the schizothoracine fish is therefore important for better understanding the biodiversity of the QTP. Although mor- phological and molecular phylogenetic studies have supported the monophyly of the Schizothoracinae, a recent molecular phylogenetic study based on the mito- chondrial genome questioned the monophyly of this taxon. However, the phylo- genetic analysis of that study was on the basis of only three schizothoracine species, and the support values were low. In this report, we inferred the phylo- genetic tree on the basis of mitochondrial genome data including 21 schizothora- cine species and five closely related species, and the polyphyletic origins of the Schizothoracinae were strongly supported. The tree further suggests that the Schizothoracinae consists of two clades, namely the “morphologically specialized clade” and the “morphologically primitive clade”, and that these two clades migrated independently of each other to the QTP and adapted to high altitude. We also detected in their mitochondrial genomes strong signals of posi- tive selection, which probably represent evidence of high-altitude adaptation.

Here, we generate three chromosome-level reference genomes of C. carpio and compare to related diploid Cyprinid genomes. We identify a Barbinae lineage as potential diploid pro- genitor of C. carpio and then divide the allotetraploid genome into two subgenomes marked by a distinct genome similarity to the diploid progenitor. We estimate that the two diploid progenitors diverged around 23 Mya and merged around 12.4 Mya based on the divergence rates of homoeologous genes and transposable elements in two subgenomes. No extensive gene losses are observed in either subgenome. Instead, we find gene expression bias across surveyed tissues such that subgenome B is more dominant in homoeologous expression. CG methylation in promoter regions may play an important role in altering gene expression in allotetraploid C. carpio. 1 Key Laboratory of Aquatic Genomics, Ministry of Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, Fengtai, Beijing 100141, China. 2 State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science, College of Ocean and Earth Sciences, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361102, China.

Abstract: The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) plays an important role in the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure. Melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein 2 (MRAP2) modulates trafficking, ligand binding, and signaling of MC4R. The Northern snakehead (Channa argus) is an economically important freshwater fish native to East Asia. To explore potential interaction between snakehead MC4R and MRAP2, herein we cloned snakehead mc4r and mrap2. The snakehead mc4r consisted of a 984 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 327 amino acids, while snakehead Citation: Wen, Z.-Y.; Liu, T.; Qin, mrap2 contained a 693 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 230 amino acids.

Abstract Sympatric speciation remains a central focus of evolutionary biology. Although some evidence shows speciation occurring in this way, little is known about the gene expression evolution and the characteristics of population genetics as species diverge. Two closely related Gymnocypris fish (Gymnocypris chui and Gymnocypris scleracanthus), which come from a small glacier lake in the Tibetan Plateau, Lake Langcuo, exist a possible incipient sympatric adaptive ecological speciation.
