          Abstract

          The first complete mitochondrial genome of a Kaloula verrucosa frog was characterized in this work. The mitogenome was 17,061 base pairs (bp) in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region (D-loop). The overall base composition was 29.65% A, 30.77% T, 25.41% C and 14.17% G. Besides, the gene arrangement was identical to that observed in vertebrates. Five of 13 PCGs ( COII, ATP6, COIII, ND3 and ND4) were ended with incomplete stop codon T. Except for ND6 gene encoded on L-strand, all other PCGs were encoded on H-strand. The non-coding region was 1665 bp in size, which was heavily biased to A + T (65.77%). Additionally, we found mitogenome size of all sequenced Kaloula species were bigger than that of Microhyla species, which was ascribe to the difference of D-loop size. Phylogenetic analysis showed that K. verrucosa was the sister species of Kaloula regifera. This work will provide basic molecular data for further molecular evolution and phylogenetic research of K. verrucosa and other microhylids.

          tRNAscan-SE On-line: integrating search and context for analysis of transfer RNA genes

          Todd Lowe, Patricia P. Chan (2016)
          High-throughput genome sequencing continues to grow the need for rapid, accurate genome annotation and tRNA genes constitute the largest family of essential, ever-present non-coding RNA genes. Newly developed tRNAscan-SE 2.0 has advanced the state-of-the-art methodology in tRNA gene detection and functional prediction, captured by rich new content of the companion Genomic tRNA Database. Previously, web-server tRNA detection was isolated from knowledge of existing tRNAs and their annotation. In this update of the tRNAscan-SE On-line resource, we tie together improvements in tRNA classification with greatly enhanced biological context via dynamically generated links between web server search results, the most relevant genes in the GtRNAdb and interactive, rich genome context provided by UCSC genome browsers. The tRNAscan-SE On-line web server can be accessed at http://trna.ucsc.edu/tRNAscan-SE/.

            Efficient sequencing of Anuran mtDNAs and a mitogenomic exploration of the phylogeny and evolution of frogs.

            Peng Zhang, David Wake, David C. Cannatella … (2013)
            Anura (frogs and toads) constitute over 88% of living amphibian diversity but many important questions about their phylogeny and evolution remain unresolved. For this study, we developed an efficient method for sequencing anuran mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) by amplifying the mitochondrial genome in 12 overlapping fragments using frog-specific universal primer sets. Based on this method, we generated 47 nearly complete, new anuran mitochondrial genomes and discovered nine novel gene arrangements. By combining the new data and published anuran mitochondrial genomes, we assembled a large mitogenomic data set (11,007 nt) including 90 frog species, representing 39 of 53 recognized anuran families, to investigate their phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history. The resulting tree strongly supported a paraphyletic arrangement of archaeobatrachian (=nonneobatrachian) frogs, with Leiopelmatoidea branching first, followed by Discoglossoidea, Pipoidea, and Pelobatoidea. Within Neobatrachia, the South African Heleophrynidae is the sister-taxon to all other neobatrachian frogs and the Seychelles-endemic Sooglossidae is recovered as the sister-taxon to Ranoidea. These phylogenetic relationships agree with many nuclear gene studies. The chronogram derived from two Bayesian relaxed clock methods (MultiDivTime and BEAST) suggests that modern frogs (Anura) originated in the early Triassic about 244 Ma and the appearance of Neobatrachia took place in the late Jurassic about 163 Ma. The initial diversifications of two species-rich superfamilies Hyloidea and Ranoidea commenced 110 and 133 Ma, respectively. These times are older than some other estimates by approximately 30-40 My. Compared with nuclear data, mtDNA produces compatible time estimates for deep nodes (>150 Ma), but apparently older estimates for more shallow nodes. Our study shows that, although it evolves relatively rapidly and behaves much as a single locus, mtDNA performs well for both phylogenetic and divergence time inferences and will provide important reference hypotheses for the phylogeny and evolution of frogs.
