Mitochondrial Genome of the Freshwater Jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbyi and Phylogenetics of Medusozoa
@article{Zou2012MitochondrialGO, title={Mitochondrial Genome of the Freshwater Jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbyi and Phylogenetics of Medusozoa}, author={Hong Zou and Jin Zhang and Wenxiang Li and Shan Gong Wu and Guitang Wang}, journal={PLoS ONE}, year={2012}, volume={7} }
The 17,922 base pairs (bp) nucleotide sequence of the linear mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecule of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbyi (Hydrozoa,Trachylina, Limnomedusae) has been determined. This sequence exhibits surprisingly low A+T content (57.1%), containing genes for 13 energy pathway proteins, a small and a large subunit rRNAs, and methionine and tryptophan tRNAs. Mitochondrial ancestral medusozoan gene order (AMGO) was found in the C. sowerbyi, as those found in Cubaia…

Conserved novel ORFs in the mitochondrial genome of the ctenophore Beroe forskalii
- BiologyPeerJ
- 2020
This work sequenced and annotated the mitochondrial genomes of three individuals of the beroid ctenophore Beroe forskalii and found that in addition to sharing the same canonical mitochondrial genes as other cTenophores, the B. forSkalii mitochondrial genome contains two URFs, suggesting that ctenphores may have uncharacterized transmembrane proteins present in their mitochondria.

The results revealed highly divergent mt genomes in the booklouse, L. bostrychophila, and indicate that the species is a cryptic species, which is more closely related to two other species of booklice than to the sexual strains of L.
Occurrence of two distinct lineages of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii (Hydrozoa: Limnomedusae) in Italy
- Environmental Science, Biology
- 2020
The presence of both medusae and polyps of this alien taxon in the Large Lake of Monticolo / Montiggl and molecular analyses of mitochondrial 16S sequences showed that this population belongs to a different lineage than that recently described for Sicily (Southern Italy), suggesting there are two different genetic lineages of C. sowerbii in Italy.

The near complete mitochondrial sequence of twenty-six hydroidolinan hydrozoan species is obtained from a range of sources and a mechanism for the expression of mitochondrial mRNA in Hydroidolina is proposed that can be extrapolated to the other medusozoan taxa.

The findings suggest that the evolution of the typical metazoan mtDNA has been a multistep process in which the compact genome organization and the reduced gene content were established prior to the reduction of tRNA and rRNA structures and the introduction of multiple changes of the translation code.
First Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequence from a Box Jellyfish Reveals a Highly Fragmented Linear Architecture and Insights into Telomere Evolution

The complete mtDNA sequence from the winged box jellyfish Alatina moseri is presented, providing evidence for a gene conversion–based model of telomere evolution and the silent-site nucleotide variation within the A. moseri mtDNA is among the highest observed from a eukaryotic genome and may be associated with elevated rates of recombination.

This work determined the sequences of nearly complete linear mtDNA from 24 species representing all four medusozoan classes and posit that these two open reading frames (ORFs) are remnants of a linear plasmid that invaded the mitochondrial genomes of the last common ancestor of Medusozoa and are responsible for its linearity.

Comparisons of relative gene arrangements and of the nucleotide and inferred amino acid sequences among these and other published taxa provide strong support for an annelid-mollusk clade that excludes arthropods, and for the inclusion of pogonophorans within Annelida, rather than giving them separate phylum status.
