abstract

the black-striped pipefish, syngnathus abaster, is a species of the syngnathidae family. this study provides data on the morphometric, meristic and genetic structuring of the caspian sea pipefish, syngnathus abaster. eight morphometric characteristics based on total length and five morphometric characteristics based on standard length were analyzed. a total of 50 specimens were collected in brackish-water biotopes. the average of total length (lt) and standard length (ls) were 102.37 mm and 98.68 mm, respectively.  also in this study, dna barcodes were expanded for caspian sea black-striped pipefish, hence 652 base-pair of the cytochrome oxidase i (coi) gene was sequenced in accordance with standard dna barcoding protocols. since pipefish (s. abaster) is one of the most endangered fishes in the caspian sea, information about its phylogenetic relationships are very rare; therefore, dna barcoding will give a more accurate picture of the future persistence of black-striped pipefish populations.

Study of genetic diversity of Dussumieria acuta (Valenciennes, 1847) in Persian Gulf and Oman sea (Coast of the Hormozgan Province) using Cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI)

In this study 12 specimens were collected from Bandar Jask, Qeshm Island and Bandare Lengeh in Hormozgan Province. DNA extraction was performed using Phenol-Chloroform method. A partial DNA sequence of Cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI) was used to evaluate genetic diversity. The sequence of Cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene was done using specific primers designed based on sequences regis...

Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence and amino acid analysis of the cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) from Aedes aegypti.

The complete sequence of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene has been identified. The nucleotide sequence codes for a 512 amino acid peptide. The AeCOI sequence is A + T rich (68.6%) and the codon usage is highly biased toward a preference for A- or T-ending triplets. The A. aegypti COI peptide shows high homology, up to 93% identity, with...

Molecular characterization of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus from Iran by sequences of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2)

Background: Traditionally, morphological features of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus from closely-related ticks have been considered for their identification and differentiation. However, it is difficult and requires expertise in order to accurately identify and differentiate engorged female ticks and some developmental stages such as larva and nymph from other similar ticks. Hence, molecul...

Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) sequence conservation and variation patterns in the yellowfin and longtail tunas

Tunas are commercially important fishery worldwide. There are at least 13 species of tuna belonging to three genera, out of which genus Thunnus has maximum eight species. On the basis of their availability, they can be characterised as oceanic such as Thunnus albacares (yellowfin tuna) or coastal such as Thunnus tonggol (longtail tuna). Although these two are different species, morphological di...

Identification of the forensically important flies (Diptera: Muscidae) based on cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene in China

Accurate species identification is a crucial step in forensic entomology, as the insect collected on a corpse can provide useful information for estimation of postmortem interval (PMI). However, morphological distinction may on occasion be impossible to the adult flies and nymphs of the same genus. DNA-based method can be used as a supplemental means of morphological method. In this study, 31 f...
