A complete mitochondrial genome-based phylogeny of gooseneck barnacles confirms the sister group relationship between the eastern Pacific Pollicipes elegans and the eastern Atlantic P. pollicipes
Gooseneck barnacles are a fascinating group of crustaceans, and their taxonomic classification has attracted the attention of several specialists, including Charles Darwin, who was the first to note the close relationship between two species of gooseneck barnacles found on the eastern coasts of the Pacific, Pollicipes elegans, and the Atlantic, P. pollicipes. A third species from the eastern Pacific, P. polymerus, is believed to have diverged earlier from this group. Here, we used short-read sequences from GenBank to assemble the first complete mitochondrial genome of P. elegans. This genome was then used to assess the relationships of cirripede species from the superorder Thoracicalcarea through a complete mitochondrial genome-based phylogenetic analysis. Our findings revealed that both P. elegans and P. pollicipes clustered together in a well-supported discrete clade, reinforcing the close relationship between them. On the other hand, P. polymerus emerged as a basal branch within the Pollicipes lineage, indicating its earlier divergence from the group. Further efforts should aim to sequence the complete mitogenomes of other species within the order Pollicipedomorpha. Such endeavors will enable a more comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of this group, whose classification continues to be a subject of debate.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
