The majority of C. orthopsilosis and all C. metapsilosis isolates sequenced thus far are hybrids, and most of the parental lineages remain unidentified. This led to the hypothesis that hybrids with pathogenic potential were formed by the hybridization of non-pathogenic lineages that thrive in the environment. In a search for the missing hybrid parentals, and aiming to get a better understanding of the evolution of the species complex, we sequenced, assembled and analysed the genome of five close relatives isolated from the environment: Candida jiufengensis, Candida pseudojiufengensis, Candida oxycetoniae, Candida margitis and Candida theae. We found that the linear conformation of mitochondrial genomes in Candida species emerged multiple times independently. Furthermore, our analyses discarded the possible involvement of these species in the mentioned hybridizations, but identified C. theae as an additional hybrid in the species complex. Importantly, C. theae was recently associated with a case of infection, and we also uncovered the hybrid nature of this clinical isolate. Altogether, our results reinforce the hypothesis that hybridization is widespread among Candida species, and potentially contributes to the emergence of lineages with opportunistic pathogenic behaviour.","PeriodicalId":51014,"journal":{"name":"DNA Research","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61096972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The assembled genome is 326.4 Mb with the scaffold N50 of 22.1 Mb and contains 37,996 protein-coding genes. The Ks distribution between gene pairs in the syntenic regions indicates two whole-genome duplications (WGDs): one is B. variegata-specific, and the other is shared among core eudicots. Although Ks between gene pairs generated by the recent WGD in Bauhinia is greater than that between Bauhinia and Cercis, the WGD was not detected in Cercis, which can be explained by an accelerated evolutionary rate in Bauhinia after divergence from Cercis. Ks distribution and phylogenetic analysis for gene pairs generated by the recent WGD in Bauhinia and their corresponding orthologs in Cercis support the allopolyploidy origin hypothesis of Bauhinia. The genome of B. variegata also provides a genomic resource for dissecting genetic basis of its ornamental traits.","PeriodicalId":51014,"journal":{"name":"DNA Research","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61097063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An ample amount of low-GC genes was closely related to functions that may contribute to the desert adaptation of H. ammodendron. Gene family clustering together with gene expression analysis identified differentially expressed genes that may play important roles in the direct response of H. ammodendron to water-deficit stress. We also identified several genes possibly related to the degraded scaly leaves and well-developed root system of H. ammodendron.

Here, we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of V. mangachapoi that we created by combining data from PacBio long read sequencing with Hi-C proximity ligation and Illumina short-read sequencing. The assembled genome was 456.21 Mb, containing 11 chromosome and a BUSCO score of 93.4%. From the newly assembled genome, 46,811 protein-coding genes were predicted. Repetitive DNA accounted for 53% of the genome. Phylogenomic and gene family analyses showed that V. mangachapoi diverged from a common ancestor of Gossypium raimondii 70 million years ago. Transcriptome analyses found 227 genes that were differentially expressed in the leaves of plants grown in normal soil relative to plants grown in dry, coastal, sandy soil. For these genes, we identified three significantly enriched with GO terms: responses to organonitrogen compounds, chitin-triggered immunity, and wound response.

Here, we show long-read metagenomics of amplified DNA of low-biomass phageomes with multiple displacement amplification (MDA), involving the development of a novel bioinformatics tool, split amplified chimeric read algorithm (SACRA), that efficiently pre-processed numerous chimeric reads generated through MDA. Using five samples, SACRA markedly reduced the average chimera ratio from 72% to 1.5% in PacBio reads with an average length of 1.8 kb. De novo assembly of chimera-less PacBio long reads reconstructed contigs of ≥5 kb with an average proportion of 27%, which was 1% in contigs from MiSeq short reads, thereby dramatically improving contig length and genome completeness. Comparison of PacBio and MiSeq contigs found MiSeq contig fragmentations frequently near local repeats and hypervariable regions in the phage genomes, and those caused by multiple homologous phage genomes coexisting in the community. We also developed a reference-independent method to assess the completeness of the linear phage genomes.

A total of 1,734,619 SSRs were identified across the four genomes with an average of 433,655 SSRs per genome and 2.31kb per SSR. The most abundant repeat units for mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-nucleotide SSRs were (A/T)n, (AT/AT)n, (AAT/ATT)n, and (ATAT/ATAT)n, respectively. The SSRs were most abundant (78.79%) in intergenic regions and least abundant (3.68%) in untranslated regions. On average, 168,069 SSRs with unique flanking sequences were identified in the four genomes. Further, we identified 16,245 polymorphic SSR markers among the four genomes. Experimental validation confirmed 99.69% of tested markers could generate target bands.

Genome sequence reads obtained from each variety by single-molecule real-time sequencing (SMRT) were split into two subsets, based on the genome sequence information of the two probable ancestors, and assembled to obtain haplotype-phased genome sequences. The resultant genome assembly of 'Kawazu-zakura' spanned 519.8 Mb with 1,544 contigs and an N50 value of 1,220.5 kb, while that of 'Atami-zakura' totalled 509.6 Mb with 2,180 contigs and an N50 value of 709.1 kb.
