Mitochondrial genome of the Peruvian scallop Argopecten purpuratus (Bivalvia: Pectinidae).
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mitochondrial genome of the Peruvian scallop Argopecten purpuratus was determined. The length of the mitochondrial coding region is 15,608 bp. A typical bivalve mitochondrial composition was detected with 12 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 21 transfer RNA genes, with the absence of the atp8 gene. Fifty percent of the protein-coding genes use typical ATG start codon, whereas five genes utilize ATA as their start codon. Only one gene was found to utilize TTG as its start codon. The A. purpuratus mitogenome shows a significant similarity to that of A. irradians irradians, in length as well as in gene composition.

Genomic Characterization of Interspecific Hybrids between the Scallops Argopecten purpuratus and A. irradians irradians
The Peruvian scallop (Argopecten purpuratus) has been introduced to China and has successfully been hybridized with the bay scallop (A. irradians irradians). The F1 hybrids of these two scallops exhibited a large increase in production traits and some other interesting new characteristics. To understand the genetic basis of this heterosis, nuclear gene and partial mtDNA sequences, and genomic i...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Vibrio sp. Strain V1B Isolated from the Gut Microflora of the Scallop Argopecten purpuratus
A new Vibrio strain, V1B, was isolated from the intestinal tract of the scallop Argopecten purpuratus Strain V1B is closely related to the species Vibrio inhibens BFLP-10, which has been characterized as showing antagonistic activity against pathogenic Vibrio sp. We report here the draft genome of the isolated Vibrio sp. strain V1B.

We report here the 5.167-Mbp draft genome sequence of Vibrio VPAP30, isolated from an Argopecten purpuratus larval culture. Vibrio VPAP30 is the etiological agent of a vibriosis outbreak causing a complete collapse of a larval culture of the scallop A. purpuratus, which occurred in a commercial hatchery in Chile.
متن کاملDraft genome and SNPs associated with carotenoid accumulation in adductor muscles of bay scallop (Argopecten irradians)
Carotenoids are commonly deposited in the gonads of marine bivalves but rarely in their adductor muscles. An orange-adductor variant was identified in our breeding program for the bay scallop Argopecten irradians. In the present study, bay scallop genome survey sequencing was conducted, followed by genotyping by sequencing (GBS)-based case-control association analysis in a selfing family that e...

BACKGROUND The eye has evolved across 13 separate lineages of molluscs. Yet, there have been very few studies examining the molecular machinary underlying eye function of this group, which is due, in part, to a lack of genomic resources. The scallop (Bivalvia: Pectinidae) represents a compeling molluscan model to study photoreception due to its morphologically novel and separately evolved mirro...
