RESUMO

Mitochondrial DNA sequences are frequently transferred into the nuclear genome, generating nuclear mitochondrial DNA sequences (NUMTs). Here, we analysed, for the first time, NUMTs in the domestic yak genome. We obtained 499 alignment matches covering 340.2 kbp of the yak nuclear genome. After a merging step, we identified 167 NUMT regions with a total length of ~ 503 kbp, representing 0.02% of the nuclear genome. We discovered copies of all mitochondrial regions and found that most NUMT regions are intergenic or intronic and mostly untranscribed. 98 different NUMT regions from domestic yak showed high homology with cow and/or wild yak genomes, suggesting selection or hybridization between domestic/wild yak and cow. To rule out the possibility that the identified NUMTs could be artifacts of the domestic yak genome assembly, we validated experimentally five NUMT regions by PCR amplification. As NUMT regions show high similarity to the mitochondrial genome can potentially pose a risk to domestic yak DNA mitochondrial studies, special care is therefore needed to select primers for PCR amplification of mitochondrial DNA sequences.

RESUMO

Gene atlases for livestock are steadily improving thanks to new genome assemblies and new expression data improving the gene annotation. However, gene content varies across databases due to differences in RNA sequencing data and bioinformatics pipelines, especially for long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) which have higher tissue and developmental specificity and are harder to consistently identify compared to protein coding genes (PCGs). As done previously in 2020 for chicken assemblies galgal5 and GRCg6a, we provide a new gene atlas, lncRNA-enriched, for the latest GRCg7b chicken assembly, integrating "NCBI RefSeq", "EMBL-EBI Ensembl/GENCODE" reference annotations and other resources such as FAANG and NONCODE. As a result, the number of PCGs increases from 18,022 (RefSeq) and 17,007 (Ensembl) to 24,102, and that of lncRNAs from 5789 (RefSeq) and 11,944 (Ensembl) to 44,428. Using 1400 public RNA-seq transcriptome representing 47 tissues, we provided expression evidence for 35,257 (79%) lncRNAs and 22,468 (93%) PCGs, supporting the relevance of this atlas. Further characterization including tissue-specificity, sex-differential expression and gene configurations are provided. We also identified conserved miRNA-hosting genes with human counterparts, suggesting common function. The annotated atlas is available at gega.sigenae.org.
