Apart from sharing common ancestry with chordates, sea cucumbers exhibit a unique morphology and exceptional regenerative capacity. Here we present the complete genome sequence of an economically important cucumber, A. japonicus, generated using Illumina PacBio platforms, to achieve assembly approximately 805 Mb (contig N50 190 Kb scaffold 486 Kb), 30,350 protein-coding genes high continuity. We used this resource explore key genetic mechanisms behind biological characters cucumbers....
Abstract Sea cucumber is a morphologically diverse and ecologically important clade of echinoderms. The sea Apostichopus japonicus the most economically valuable species cucumber. initial assembly A. genome was released in 2017. However, this fragmented lacks relative position information genes on chromosomes. In study, we produced high-quality chromosome-level using Pacbio HiFi long-reads Hi-C sequencing data. assembled spanned 671.60 Mb with contig N50 size 17.20 scaffold 29.65 Mb. A total...
Sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea; Echinodermata) have the capacity to regenerate lost tissues and organs. Although histological cytological aspects of intestine regeneration been extensively studied, little is known genetic mechanisms involved. There has, however, a renewed effort develop database Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) in Apostichopus japonicus, an economically-important species that occurs China. This important for studies on breeding, molecular markers special physiological phenomena....
Eelgrass beds in coastal waters of China have declined substantially over the past 30 years. In this study, a simple new transplanting technique was developed for eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) restoration. To assist anchoring single shoots, several rhizomes rooted shoots were bound to small elongate stone (50–150 g) with biodegradable thread (cotton or hemp), and then packet buried at an angle sediments depth 2–4 cm. This method used transplant early November 2009 late May 2010 Huiquan Bay,...
Host-intestine microbiota interactions have been widely studied in aquatic animals, but these the intestine regeneration process of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus rarely investigated. To understand how impacts developing intestinal microbiome composition and function, we performed a case study to characterize microbial functional genes A. during stages. High-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed significantly different compositions The phylogenetic diversity changed early stage...
The sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus is an economic species mainly distributed along the coast of northern China, south-eastern Russia, Japan, Republic Korea and Democratic People's Korea. Aquaculture industry A. has been facing severe challenge high temperature. In this study, we studied mRNA expression profiles eight key metabolic enzymes involved in carbohydrate amino acids metabolism under heat stress. hexokinase, pyruvate kinase malate dehydrogenase showed downregulated response to...
Abstract Low dissolved oxygen (LO) conditions represent a major environmental challenge to marine life, especially benthic animals. For these organisms, drastic declines in availability (hypoxic events) can trigger mass mortality events and thus, act as agents of selection influencing the evolution adaptations. In sea cucumbers, one most successful groups invertebrates, exposure hypoxic triggers adaptive adjustments metabolic rates behaviour. It is unclear, however, how responses are...
