Abstract

Lycoris longituba is a species in the Amaryllidaceae with high ornamental and medicinal value. It is also an endangered species in East China due to the narrow distribution. Here, we assembled and characterised the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of this species using high throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. As a result, the whole cp genome size is 158,484 bp, including two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,765 bp, large single-copy region (LSC) of 86,458 bp and small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,496 bp. A total of 137 genes were identified, including 87 protein-coding genes, 42 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenomic analysis was carried out using complete cp genome of 18 species in five families, supporting the closer relationship between L. longituba and L. squamigera than L. radiata and L. sprengeri in Amaryllidaceae.

NOVOPlasty: de novo assembly of organelle genomes from whole genome data

Nicolas Dierckxsens, Patrick Mardulyn, Guillaume Smits (2016)

Abstract The evolution in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has led to the development of many different assembly algorithms, but few of them focus on assembling the organelle genomes. These genomes are used in phylogenetic studies, food identification and are the most deposited eukaryotic genomes in GenBank. Producing organelle genome assembly from whole genome sequencing (WGS) data would be the most accurate and least laborious approach, but a tool specifically designed for this task is lacking. We developed a seed-and-extend algorithm that assembles organelle genomes from whole genome sequencing (WGS) data, starting from a related or distant single seed sequence. The algorithm has been tested on several new (Gonioctena intermedia and Avicennia marina) and public (Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa) whole genome Illumina data sets where it outperforms known assemblers in assembly accuracy and coverage. In our benchmark, NOVOPlasty assembled all tested circular genomes in less than 30 min with a maximum memory requirement of 16 GB and an accuracy over 99.99%. In conclusion, NOVOPlasty is the sole de novo assembler that provides a fast and straightforward extraction of the extranuclear genomes from WGS data in one circular high quality contig. The software is open source and can be downloaded at https://github.com/ndierckx/NOVOPlasty.

CPGAVAS2, an integrated plastome sequence annotator and analyzer

Linchun Shi, Haimei Chen, Mei Jiang … (2019)

Abstract We previously developed a web server CPGAVAS for annotation, visualization and GenBank submission of plastome sequences. Here, we upgrade the server into CPGAVAS2 to address the following challenges: (i) inaccurate annotation in the reference sequence likely causing the propagation of errors; (ii) difficulty in the annotation of small exons of genes petB, petD and rps16 and trans-splicing gene rps12; (iii) lack of annotation for other genome features and their visualization, such as repeat elements; and (iv) lack of modules for diversity analysis of plastomes. In particular, CPGAVAS2 provides two reference datasets for plastome annotation. The first dataset contains 43 plastomes whose annotation have been validated or corrected by RNA-seq data. The second one contains 2544 plastomes curated with sequence alignment. Two new algorithms are also implemented to correctly annotate small exons and trans-splicing genes. Tandem and dispersed repeats are identified, whose results are displayed on a circular map together with the annotated genes. DNA-seq and RNA-seq data can be uploaded for identification of single-nucleotide polymorphism sites and RNA-editing sites. The results of two case studies show that CPGAVAS2 annotates better than several other servers. CPGAVAS2 will likely become an indispensible tool for plastome research and can be accessed from http://www.herbalgenomics.org/cpgavas2.

MAFFT-DASH: integrated protein sequence and structural alignment

John Rozewicki, Songling Li, Karlou Mar Amada … (2019)

Abstract Here, we describe a web server that integrates structural alignments with the MAFFT multiple sequence alignment (MSA) tool. For this purpose, we have prepared a web-based Database of Aligned Structural Homologs (DASH), which provides structural alignments at the domain and chain levels for all proteins in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), and can be queried interactively or by a simple REST-like API. MAFFT-DASH integration can be invoked with a single flag on either the web (https://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/server/) or command-line versions of MAFFT. In our benchmarks using 878 cases from the BAliBase, HomFam, OXFam, Mattbench and SISYPHUS datasets, MAFFT-DASH showed 10–20% improvement over standard MAFFT for MSA problems with weak similarity, in terms of Sum-of-Pairs (SP), a measure of how well a program succeeds at aligning input sequences in comparison to a reference alignment. When MAFFT alignments were supplemented with homologous sequences, further improvement was observed. Potential applications of DASH beyond MSA enrichment include functional annotation through detection of remote homology and assembly of template libraries for homology modeling.
