Genetic diversity among Turkish apple genotypes in Ardahan province was conducted based on cpDNA trnL-F sequences. Apple genotypes were plotted on a phylogenetic tree where Pyrus x bretschneideri was used as the outgroup. The plant samples were collected from different locations and genomic DNA was isolated from healthy and green leaves. For sequence in trnL-F region trnLe and trnFf primers were used. Later obtained DNA sequences were edited using the BioEdit and FinchTV. Sequencing data were analyzed using MEGA 6.0 software. Neighbor joining and bootstrap trees were constructed in order to verify the relationships among the apple genotypes. Phylogenetic tree consisted of two clades. The divergence values of trnL-F sequences differed between 0.000 and 0.005. Average nucleotide composition was 38.3 T, 14.9 C, 31.9 A and 14.9% G. The phylogenetic tree constructed based on trnL-F region sequences was nearly parallel to prior phylogenetic studies on apple genotypes.

In this study, phylogenetic analysis of Turkish Conringia (Brassicaceae) species was conducted based on nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrITS) and chloroplast DNA (trnL-F) sequences. In addition, the relationships between the sequences of some Brassicaceae family species retrieved from NCBI, and Conringia species were documented. All of the plant specimens were collected at their flowering and vegetation periods from different regions of Turkey, and brought to the laboratory. Total genomic DNA was extracted using the GeneMark kit. In PCR analyses, ITS4 and ITS5A primers were used for the amplification of the nrITS region, while the trnLe and trnLf primers were used for the cpDNA trnL-F region. The DNA sequences obtained were then edited using BioEdit and FinchTV, and analyzed using MEGA 6.0 software. Neighbor joining (NJ) and bootstrap trees were constructed in order to identify the relationships among Conringia taxa. The nrITS sequences ranged between 573 and 672 nucleotides, while the trnL-F sequences ranged between 346 and 764 nucleotides. The divergence values of nrITS sequences differed between 0.177 and 0.00 and divergence values of trnL-F sequences differed between 0.902 and 0.00. NJ tree generated using nrITS and trnL-F sequences consisted of two clades. In trees generated with both the nrITS and trnL-F sequences, C. orientalis, C. grandiflora and C. austriaca appeared within the same group. In addition, according to the phylogenetic analysis results obtained with other Brassicaceae species, it is revealed that the Conringia genus is polyphyletic.

Lactuca Species

In the current study, sequence analysis of some Turkish Lactuca L. species using nrITS DNA and trnL-F cpDNA sequences were performed to elucidate phylogenetic relationships among the taxa under study. Hieracium umbellatum was used as an outgroup. Different plant materials of Lactuca were collected from different parts of Turkey during excursions of summer 2013. Plant materials were either kept in silica gel or kept fresh for immediate DNA isolation. Both phenol chloroform-isoamyl alcohol method and commercial kits were used to extract genomic DNA for PCR reactions. ITS4 and ITS5A primers were utilized for ITS region, while trnLe and trnLf primers were used to amplify the trnL-F region. Obtained DNA sequences were edited both manually and by using BioEdit 7.0.4.1. Sequencing data were aligned via ClustalW program and analyzed using PAUP 4.01b10 software. nrITS sequences varied from 639 nucleotides to 735 nucleotides. Average nucleotide composition for nrITS was 22.1% (T), 27.9% (C), 23.2% (A) and 26.8% (G). It was also found that divergence values differed between 0.0000 and 0.10290. The trnL-F sequences varied from 296 nucleotides to 385 nucleotides. Average nucleotide composition of trnL-F sequences was 34.1% (T), 18.4% (C), 31.6% (A) and 16.0% (G). It was also found that divergence values differed between 0.0000 and 0.09674. Neighbour Joining (NJ) trees were constructed in order to identify the relationships among Lactuca species. Phylogenetic trees based on ITS region were found to be more useful than phylogenetic trees based on trnL-F region. After analysis of the results obtained, the data suggest that Lactuca contains 2 clades, with clade 1 having 2 subclades. These results support the prior phylogenetic studies on Lactuca and hence provide an up to date review of Turkish Lactuca species.

Sequences Analysis

In this study, sequences analysis of some Citrus species distributed in Turkey's Aegean region was based on the cpDNA psbA-trnH  region. The sequences for psbA-trnH regions of the outgroups were retrieved from NCBI GenBank. Genomic DNA was isolated from healthy and green leaves. Total genomic DNA was extracted using GeneMark DNA isolation Plant Kit. The psbA-trnH region was amplified using primers psbA and trnH. DNA sequences were edited using the Sequencher 5.4.6. Sequencing data were analyzed using MEGA 6.0 software. Maximum likelihood (ML) tree was created to determine the relationships between Citrus taxa.  cpDNA psbA-trnH  sequences ranged between 426 and 470 nucleotides. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree is composed of two clades. The divergence values differed between 0.000 and 0.012. According to the results of the study, the separation of Citrus species in phylogenetic tree obtained with psbA-trnH sequence data was realized. However, it has been found that cpDNA psbA-trnH sequence populations of species belong together. In addition, the phylogenetic relationship between the sequence data of some species belonging to the Rutaceae family taken from NCBI and Citrus species was revealed.

Fungal Chitinases

Degenerate PCR primers corresponding to conserved domains of fungal chitinases were designed, and PCR was performed on genomic DNA of the entomogenous fungus Verticillium lecanii (Zimmermann) Viegas. Two distinct PCR fragments, chf1 and chf2, were isolated and used to identify two DNA contigs. Analyses of these two contigs revealed that we had obtained the full-length DNA sequence including the promoter, 5′ untranslated region, open reading frame (ORF), and 3′ untranslated regions for two distinct chitinase-like genes. These two genomic DNA sequences exhibited 51% identity at the amino acid (aa) level and were designed as acidic (chi1) and basic (chi2) chitinase-like genes. The isolated cDNA for chi1 gene is 1110 bp with a predicted protein of 370 aa and molecular mass of 40.93 kDa, and its ORF was uninterrupted in its corresponding genomic DNA sequence. The cDNA for the chi2 gene is 1269 bp, a predicted ORF of 423 aa and molecular mass of 45.95 kDa. In contrast, the ORF was interrupted by three introns in its corresponding genomic DNA. The basic chitinase gene (chi2) was successfully expressed in the Pichia pastoris system; optimum enzymatic activity was observed at 22 °C and at pH 7.5. CHI1 and CHI2 were clustered into two different phylogenetic groups according to their sequence alignments with 28 other fungal chitinases. A chitin-binding domain, comprising two sub-domains that exhibit similarities at the aa level to chitin binding domains in bacteria, was identified in 30 fungal chitinase sequences examined.Key words: fungus, chitin, cloning, sequencing, transformation, Pichia sp. expression.

Abstract Phyllidiella pustulosa are brightly coloured gastropod molluscs frequently found in coral reefs of the tropical Indo-Pacific. Phyllidiella pustulosa is widely distributed in Indonesia, such as Seribu Island, North Sulawesi, West Papua, and Halmahera. Based on the genetic characteristics of an individual’s DNA sequence, differences between species can be identified. In this paper, we would like to provide the molecular analysis and phylogenetic relationship among nudibranchs from Indonesian waters. Identification was made by measuring the genetic distance between species. The phylogenetic tree reconstruction was made using the Kimura 2-parameter model with 1000 times bootstrap with neighbor-joining and maximum likelihood method. There is 46 DNA Sequence obtained from 4 different regions (Seribu Island, Halmahera, North Sulawesi, and West Papua). The genetic distance of West Papua and Halmahera has the smallest value among other populations, which is between 0.0051-1.4629, compared to the population in Halmahera. The phylogenetic tree also shows populations from West Papua and Halmahera are on the same lineage, indicating that the population in West Papua and Halmahera had the closest relation. The study suggested that North Sulawesi, Halmahera and West Papua have genetic mixing of the same region, which is distinctive from Seribu Island.

Kalang (KBuf), Krayan (KrBuf), and Thale Noi buffaloes (TBuf) are swamp buffalo genetic resources in Indonesia and Thailand. The maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), particularly D-loop region is an important material for phylogenetic inference and analyzing genetic diversity. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were to evaluate genetic diversity and to reconstruct the phylogenetic tree within buffalo breeds in Kalimantan, Indonesia, and Phatthalung, Thailand using mtDNA D-loop sequences. A total of one hundred forty buffaloes (70 males and 70 females) were observed including 40 buffaloes from North (NK), 40 from East (EK), and 40 from South Kalimantan (SK) provinces Indonesia and 20 from Phatthalung (PT) province, Thailand. DNA samples were isolated from buffalo tail hairs. DNA sequences were manually assembled using BioEdit program with consideration of gaps and ambiguous sequences. The phylogenetic tree of buffalo was generated by PHYLIP software. The observed variables included haplotype diversity, genetic distance, and genetic tree. The 956 bp of amplified mtDNA D-loop fragment presented a total of 24 haplotypes with several mutations that included transitions (293), transversions (60), deletions (15), and insertions (20). The neighbor-joining tree using the Kimura 2 parameter model demonstrated two local buffalo clusters among buffalo from Kalimantan and Thailand with four buffalo relationship patterns observed from buffaloes in Kalimantan Island (KBuf and KrBuf), Indonesia. The Results of the present study demonstrated that the buffaloes sequence analysis revealed relatively high diversity and is a good basis to perform selection and modern buffalo breeding development.

ABSTRACTChirality is a geometric property describing any object that is inequivalent to a mirror image of itself. Due to its 5’-3’ directionality, a DNA sequence is distinct from a mirrored sequence arranged in reverse nucleotide order, and is therefore chiral. A given sequence and its opposing chiral partner sequence share many properties, such as nucleotide composition and sequence entropy. Here we demonstrate that chiral DNA sequence pairs also perform equivalently during molecular and bioinformatic techniques that underpin modern genetic analysis, including PCR amplification, hybridization, whole-genome, target-enriched and nanopore sequencing, sequence alignment and variant detection. Given these shared properties, synthetic DNA sequences that directly mirror clinically relevant and/or analytically challenging regions of the human genome are ideal reference standards for clinical genomics. We show how the addition of chiral DNA standards to patient tumor samples can prevent false-positive and false-negative mutation detection and, thereby, improve diagnosis. Accordingly, we propose that chiral DNA standards can fulfill the unmet need for commutable internal reference standards in precision medicine.

<p>Phytoplankton has high level of biodiversity. In previous years phytoplankton was identified by their morphological characters. However, their morphology might change in different environments. These difficulties can be overcome by comparing their 18S rDNA sequences. This research is aimed to verify the identity of Melosira sp., Dunaliella sp., Isochrysis sp. and Porphyridium sp. Here, PCR method was used to amplify 18s DNA sequences. Three primer pairs were used, i.e. 18S-F and 18S-R; 501F and 1700R; 18S-2F and 18S-2R. PCR products were sequenced. MEGA5 was used to make phylogenetic tree. Genus verification for Isochrysis sp., Dunaliella sp. and Melosira sp. were conducted successfully using Blast and phylogenetic tree. 18s DNA sequence of Porphyridium sp. shows an interesting result and needs further verification.</p><p><br /><strong>Keywords</strong>: Phytoplankton, Melosira sp., Dunaliella sp., Isochrysis sp., Porphyridium sp.</p>

Storing and processing of large DNA sequences has always been a major problem due to increasing volume of DNA sequence data. However, a number of solutions have been proposed but they require significant computation and memory. Therefore, an efficient storage and pattern matching solution is required for DNA sequencing data. Bloom filters (BFs) represent an efficient data structure, which is mostly used in the domain of bioinformatics for classification of DNA sequences. In this paper, we explore more dimensions where BFs can be used other than classification. A proposed solution is based on Multiple Bloom Filters (MBFs) that finds all the locations and number of repetitions of the specified pattern inside a DNA sequence. Both of these factors are extremely important in determining the type and intensity of any disease. This paper serves as a first effort towards optimizing the search for location and frequency of substrings in DNA sequences using MBFs. We expect that further optimizations in the proposed solution can bring remarkable results as this paper presents a proof of concept implementation for a given set of data using proposed MBFs technique. Performance evaluation shows improved accuracy and time efficiency of the proposed approach.

SUMMARYGenetic proximity between two karyotypic groups of Trypanosoma congolense was investigated using as hybridization probes: (i) total genomic DNA, (ii) a 35 nucleotide long synthetic oligonucleotide, and (iii) non-variant antigen type (non-VAT) specific complementary DNAs. The phylogenetic relationship between Trypanosoma brucei and T. evansi, both of which are accepted species in the subgenus Trypanozoon, was used as a reference to assess the phylogenetic proximity of the two groups of T. congolense. Results indicate that some morphologically indistinguishable T. congolense populations differ in a variety of molecular and genetic properties: molecular karyotypes, majority of the DNA sequences, and the restriction enzyme sites in the genomic environments of various conserved genes. The implications of these findings for trypanosome evolution and T. congolense epidemiology are discussed.
