The complete mitochondrial genome of Setaria digitata (Nematoda: Filarioidea): Mitochondrial gene content, arrangement and composition compared with other nematodes

Complete mitochondrial genomes of Baylisascaris schroederi, Baylisascaris ailuri and Baylisascaris transfuga from giant panda, red panda and polar bear

“…With the exception of the relative positions of the AT-rich region and the number of NCRs, the mt gene arrangements of B. schroederi, B. ailuri and B. transfuga are consistent with that of GA7 (Yatawara et al, 2010). This gene arrangement has been described previously for members of the orders Ascaridida and Strongylida as well as the freeliving nematode C. elegans, but not for S. stercoralis (Okimoto et al, 1992;Hu et al, 2002Hu et al, , 2003aKim et al, 2006;Li et al, 2008;Jex et al, 2008aJex et al, , 2008bJex et al, , 2009Wickramasinghe et al, 2009).…”

Morphological and Mitochondrial Genomic Characterization of Eyeworms (Thelazia callipaeda) from Clinical Cases in Central China

“…In accordance with the two known mt genomes of T. callipaeda (NC_018363 and AP017700), all T. callipaeda isolates from central China contained 12 PCGs, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and a non-coding region but lacked an atp 8 gene (Liu et al, 2013a). The gene content and arrangement are the same as those of Acanthocheilonema viteae , Brugia species, Chandlerella quiscali , Dirofilaria species, Loa loa , Onchocerca species, Wuchereria bancrofti , Gongylonema pulchrum , Setaria digitata (Ghedin et al, 2007; Yatawara et al, 2010; McNulty et al, 2012; Yilmaz et al, 2016), but distinct from those of Dracunculus medinensis , Philometroides sanguineus , Gnathostoma doloresi , and Heliconema longissimum (Su et al, 2016; Sun et al, 2016). The mt genome sequence of T. callipaeda has high a A+T content (above 70%), which is consistent with the mt genomes of nematodes from the order Spirurida (Yatawara et al, 2010; McNulty et al, 2012).…”

The mt genome sequence of T. callipaeda has high a A+T content (above 70%), which is consistent with the mt genomes of nematodes from the order Spirurida (Yatawara et al, 2010; McNulty et al, 2012). All PCGs had ATG, TTT, ATA, or TTG as their initiation codons, and TAA or TAG as their termination codons, which was consistent with a previous study (Liu et al, 2013a).…”

“…In recent years, the mitochondrial genomes of spirurid nematodes have been extensively studied (Ghedin et al, 2007; Yatawara et al, 2010; Park et al, 2011; McNulty et al, 2012; Liu et al, 2015; Yilmaz et al, 2016). These whole mt genomes will serve as a useful dataset for studying the genetics, systematics and phylogenetic relationships of spirurid nematodes.…”

“…However, in comparison with a single gene, the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome can provide more markers for molecular identification, and provide the potential to discover population variants or cryptic species (Ramesh et al, 2012; Zhang et al, 2016). In recent years, several remarkable advances have been made in the different taxonomic levels of spirurid nematodes using complete mt genomes (Yatawara et al, 2010; Park et al, 2011; McNulty et al, 2012). The first complete mtDNA sequence of T. callipaeda has been sequenced and characterized (Liu et al, 2013a).…”
