Background: Mycobacteroides chelonae M77 isolated in a targeted Mycobacterial isolation study from bovine raw milk was whole genome sequenced (CP041150.1), followed by comparative genomics study for better understanding of the organism with special focus on its virulence and antibiotic resistance pattern. This is probably the first whole genome sequence (WGS) of M.cheloane submitted in NCBI database from India. Methods: The WGS has been carried out in Illumina Next Seq 500 platform and then assembled resulting in a genome of 5.12 MB. The assembled genome was annotated in RASTtk and viewed by SEED for its detailed analysis. Pathogen Finder 1.1 and Res Finder 3.1 soft wares were applied for knowing the isolate pathogenecity and antibiotic profiling respectively. Mauve analysis was carried out to know the genomic re-arrangements.Result: Pathogen Finder 1.1 showed that M77 was non-pathogenic and Res Finder 3.1 server reveals it is susceptible to most of the antibiotics. Mauve analysis for alignment of isolate revealed no significant re-arrangement of genomic segment. The whole analysis showed that the genome of M77 is tight genome with not much variation in relation to previous complete genomes reported and is non-pathogenic and sensitive to most of the antibiotics.

AbstractAn organism Tree of Life (organism ToL) is a conceptual and metaphorical tree to capture a simplified narrative of the evolutionary course and kinship among the extant organisms of today. Such tree cannot be experimentally validated but may be reconstructed based on characteristics associated with the extant organisms. Since the whole genome sequence of an organism is, at present, the most comprehensive descriptor of the organism, a genome Tol can be an empirically derivable surrogate for the organism ToL. However, a genome ToL has been impossible to construct because of the practical reasons that experimentally determining the whole genome sequences of a large number of diverse organisms was technically impossible. Thus, for several decades, gene ToLs, based on selected genes, have been commonly used as a surrogate for the organisms ToL. This situation changed dramatically during the last several decades due to rapid advances in DNA sequencing technology. Here we describe the main features of a genome ToL that are different from those of the broadly accepted gene ToLs: (a) the first two organism groups to emerge are the founders of prokarya and eukarya, (b) they diversify into six large groups and all the founders of the groups have emerged in a “Deep Burst” at the very beginning period of the emergence of Life on Earth and (c) other differences are notable in the order of emergence of smaller groups.Significance StatementTree of Life is a conceptual and metaphorical tree that captures a simplified narrative of the evolutionary course and kinship among all living organisms of today. Since the whole genome sequence information of an organism is, at present, the most comprehensive description of the organism, we reconstructed a Genome Tree of Life using the proteome information from the whole genomes of over 4000 different living organisms on Earth. It suggests that (a) the first two primitive organism groups to emerge are the founders of prokarya and eukarya, (b) they diversify into six large groups, and (c) all the founders of the groups have emerged in a “Deep Burst” at the very beginning period of the emergence of Life on Earth.

Abstract Background Trees such as Populus are planted extensively for reforestation and afforestation. However, their successful establishment greatly depends upon ambient environmental conditions and their relative resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is a ubiquitous metalloproteinase in plants, which plays crucial roles in mediating plant resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses. Although the whole genome sequence of Populus trichocarpa has long been published, little is known about the PPO genes in Populus, especially those related to drought stress, mechanical damage, and insect feeding. Additionally, there is a paucity of information regarding hormonal responses at the whole genome level. Results A genome-wide analysis of the poplar PPO family was performed in the present study, and 18 PtrPPO genes were identified. Bioinformatics and qRT-PCR were then used to analyze the gene structure, phylogeny, chromosomal localization, gene replication, cis-elements, and expression patterns of PtrPPOs. Sequence analysis revealed that two-thirds of the PtrPPO genes lacked intronic sequences. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all PPO genes were categorized into 11 groups, and woody plants harbored many PPO genes. Eighteen PtrPPO genes were disproportionally localized on 19 chromosomes, and 3 pairs of segmented replication genes and 4 tandem repeat genomes were detected in poplars. Cis-acting element analysis identified numerous growth and developmental elements, secondary metabolism processes, and stress-related elements in the promoters of different PPO members. Furthermore, PtrPPO genes were expressed preferentially in the tissues and fruits of young plants. In addition, the expression of some PtrPPOs could be significantly induced by polyethylene glycol, abscisic acid, and methyl jasmonate, thereby revealing their potential role in regulating the stress response. Currently, we identified potential upstream TFs of PtrPPOs using bioinformatics. Conclusions Comprehensive analysis is helpful for selecting candidate PPO genes for follow-up studies on biological function, and progress in understanding the molecular genetic basis of stress resistance in forest trees might lead to the development of genetic resources.

Abstract Background: Trees such as Populus are planted extensively for reforestation and afforestation. However, their successful establishment greatly depends upon ambient environmental conditions and their relative resistance to abiotic as well as biotic stress. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is a ubiquitous metalloproteinase in plants, which plays crucial roles in plant resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses. Although the whole genome sequence of populus trichocarpa has long been published, little is known about the PPO genes in Populus, especially those related to drought stress, mechanical damage, insect feeding and hormone response at the whole genome level. Results: In the recent research, a genome-wide analysis of the Poplar PPOs family was finished and 18 PtrPPOs gene were identified. Then, bioinformatics and qRT-PCR were applied to analyze the gene structure, phylogeny, chromosomal localization, gene replication, Cis-elements, expression patterns of PtrPPOs. Sequence analysis revealed that 2/3 of the PtrPPO genes not contained introns. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that all PPOs gene were split into 11 subfamilies, and woody plants differentiated a large number of PPO genes. 18 PtrPPOs gene were disproportionally apportioned on 19 chromosomes, and the number of three pairs of segmented replication genes and four tandem repeat genomes were detected in poplars. Cis-acting element analysis identified a large number elements of growth and development, secondary metabolism process, and stress-related elements on the promoters of different PPO members. Furthermore, PtrPPO genes were expressed preferably in young plant tissues and fruits. In addition, some PtrPPOs could be significantly induced by PEG, ABA and JA, thus revealing their potential role in regulating stress response. Conclusions: Comprehensive analysis is helpful to select candidate PPO genes for the follow-up study of the biological function, and molecular genetic progress of stress resistance in forest trees provides genetic resources.

Whole genome sequence availability in rice has provided several advantages for genomics as well as other omics assisted applications. Genome-wide molecular markers are one of such availability that has exceptional importance in modern plant breeding. In the present study, a resource of intron-spanning primers (ISPs) was developed using whole genome sequence information of two rice subspecies, japonica (cv. Nipponbare) and indica (cv. 93-11). The ISPs were designed in a way that the PCR using a cDNA template will yield 60 to 100 base pair size amplicon ideal for the quantitative PCR analysis. Whereas, PCR using genomic DNA will amplify the introns, which are more prone to sequence variation. The sequence variation in the intron serves as an excellent marker resource. The application of ISPs was demonstrated by characterizing 12 diverse rice cultivars. A total of eight out of ten ISPs were found to be polymorphic. The resource will be helpful for the rice molecular biologist and breeder community.

Abstract Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, SARS-CoV-2 whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has been performed at unprecedented rate worldwide with the use of very diverse Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) methods. Herein, we compare the performance of four NGS-based approaches for SARS-CoV-2 WGS. Twenty-four clinical respiratory samples with a large scale of Ct values (from 10.7 to 33.9) were sequenced with four methods. Three used Illumina sequencing: an in-house metagenomic NGS (mNGS) protocol and two newly commercialised kits including a hybridisation capture method developed by Illumina (DNA Prep with Enrichment kit and Respiratory Virus Oligo Panel, RVOP), and an amplicon sequencing method developed by Paragon Genomics (CleanPlex SARS-CoV-2 kit). We also evaluated the widely used amplicon sequencing protocol developed by ARTIC Network and combined with Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing. All four methods yielded near-complete genomes (>99%) for high viral loads samples (n = 8), with mNGS and RVOP producing the most complete genomes. For mid viral loads (Ct 20–25), amplicon-based enrichment methods led to genome coverage >99 per cent for all samples while 1/8 sample sequenced with RVOP and 2/8 samples sequenced with mNGS had a genome coverage below 99 per cent. For low viral loads (Ct ≥25), amplicon-based enrichment methods were the most sensitive techniques. All methods were highly concordant in terms of identity in complete consensus sequence. Just one mismatch in three samples was observed in CleanPlex vs the other methods, due to the dedicated bioinformatics pipeline setting a high threshold to call SNP compared to reference sequence. Importantly, all methods correctly identified a newly observed 34nt-deletion in ORF6 but required specific bioinformatic validation for RVOP. Finally, as a major warning for targeted techniques, a loss of coverage in any given region of the genome should alert to a potential rearrangement or a SNP in primer-annealing or probe-hybridizing regions and would require further validation using unbiased metagenomic sequencing.

Pepper wilt, caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. capsici, is one of the most common plant diseases worldwide. In this study, we obtained the whole genome sequence of the highly virulent Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. capsici strain 14003 sequenced using the Illumina Hiseq 2000 platform. In total, 3.87 million paired-end reads were obtained and assembled into 796 scaffolds with a genome-wide length of 47.6 Mb. In addition, we filtered genes that may be related to specific virulence factors and performed a comparative analysis between the genome of strain 14003 and the sequenced genomes of 36 isolates. The genome-sequencing results for strain 14003 will enhance the theoretical basis for pepper wilt prevention and control.

AbstractBovine paratuberculosis (PTB), caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), is a chronic granulomatous enteritis that affects cattle worldwide. According to their severity and extension, PTB-associated histological lesions have been classified into the following groups; focal, multifocal, and diffuse. It is unknown whether these lesions represent sequential stages or divergent outcomes. In the current study, the associations between host genetic and pathology were explored by genotyping 813 Spanish Holstein cows with no visible lesions (N = 373) and with focal (N = 371), multifocal (N = 33), and diffuse (N = 33) lesions in gut tissues and regional lymph nodes. DNA from peripheral blood samples of these animals was genotyped with the bovine EuroG MD Bead Chip, and the corresponding genotypes were imputed to whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data using the 1000 Bull genomes reference population. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed using the WGS data and the presence or absence of each type of histological lesion in a case–control approach. A total of 192 and 92 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) defining 13 and 9 distinct quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were highly-associated (P ≤ 5 × 10−7) with the multifocal (heritability = 0.075) and the diffuse (heritability = 0.189) lesions, respectively. No overlap was seen in the SNPs controlling these distinct pathological outcomes. The identified QTLs overlapped with some QTLs previously associated with PTB susceptibility, bovine tuberculosis susceptibility, clinical mastitis, somatic cell score, bovine respiratory disease susceptibility, tick resistance, IgG level, and length of productive life. Pathway analysis with candidate genes overlapping the identified QTLs revealed a significant enrichment of the keratinization pathway and cholesterol metabolism in the animals with multifocal and diffuse lesions, respectively. To test whether the enrichment of SNP variants in candidate genes involved in the cholesterol metabolism was associated with the diffuse lesions; the levels of total cholesterol were measured in plasma samples of cattle with focal, multifocal, or diffuse lesions or with no visible lesions. Our results showed reduced levels of plasma cholesterol in cattle with diffuse lesions. Taken together, our findings suggested that the variation in MAP-associated pathological outcomes might be, in part, genetically determined and indicative of distinct host responses.
