Comparing Mitochondrial, Chloroplast, and Prokaryotic Genomes02:16

Comparing Mitochondrial, Chloroplast, and Prokaryotic Genomes

16.1K
The present-day mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes have retained some of the characteristics of their ancestral prokaryotes and also have acquired new attributes during their evolution within eukaryotic cells. Like prokaryotic genomes, mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes neither bind with histone-like proteins nor show complex packaging into chromosome-like structures, as observed in eukaryotes. Unlike mitotic cell divisions observed in eukaryotic cells, mitochondria and chloroplasts...

Phylogenetic Trees03:21

Phylogenetic Trees

49.7K
Phylogenetic trees come in many forms. It matters in which sequence the organisms are arranged from the bottom to the top of the tree, but the branches can rotate at their nodes without altering the information. The lines connecting individual nodes can be straight, angled, or even curved.

Genomics02:02

Genomics

40.7K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Export of Mitochondrial and Chloroplast Genes02:19

Export of Mitochondrial and Chloroplast Genes

4.2K
A eukaryotic cell can have up to three different types of genetic systems: nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast. During evolution, organelles have exported many genes to the nucleus; this transfer is still ongoing in some plant species. Approximately 18% of the Arabidopsis thaliana nuclear genome is thought to be derived from the chloroplast’s cyanobacterial ancestor, and around 75% of the yeast genome derived from the mitochondria’s bacterial ancestor. This export has occurred...

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics02:59

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics

9.2K
Among all the organelles in an animal cell, only mitochondria have their own independent genomes. Animal mitochondrial DNA is a double-stranded, closed-circular molecule with around 20,000 base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is unique in that one of its two strands, the heavy, or H, -strand is guanine rich, whereas the complementary strand is cytosine rich and called the light, or L, -strand. Compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA has a very low percentage of non-coding regions and is marked by...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance02:30

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

37.2K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Area of Science:

  • Zoology
  • Genomics
  • Evolutionary Biology

Background:

  • Mitochondrial genomes are crucial for understanding insect evolutionary history.
  • Phylogenetic relationships within Mantodea (praying mantises) require comprehensive genomic data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide five distinct datasets of mantis mitochondrial genomes for research.
  • To facilitate phylogenetic analyses within the Mantodea order.
  • To offer insights into genetic diversity and evolutionary patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Generation and curation of five datasets: nucleotide and amino acid sequences of mitochondrial genes (PCG123, PCG123R, PCG12, PCG12R, PCGAA).
  • Phylogenetic tree construction using Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood analyses with different data subsets.
  • Analysis of genetic parameters including codon usage, gene length, and nucleotide diversity (Pi).

Main Results:

  • Five comprehensive mantis mitochondrial genome datasets were created and made publicly available.
  • Phylogenetic trees were inferred using multiple datasets and analytical methods, clarifying evolutionary relationships.
  • Initiation/termination codons, amino acid lengths, and nucleotide diversity were characterized for 27 praying mantis species.

Conclusions:

  • The provided mitochondrial genome datasets are valuable resources for Mantodea research.
  • Phylogenetic analyses confirm evolutionary relationships within the praying mantis infraorder.
  • This data contributes to a deeper understanding of praying mantis evolution and genetic variation.
