We performed a thorough analysis of mitochondrial (mt) genomes of amphipods with the focus on endemic Baikalian species. Possible causes and mechanisms explaining an unusually high variability in mt genomes of Baikalian amphipods in comparison to that of non-Baikalian species are discussed.

Problems of macro- and microevolution remain key problems of biology. Phylostratigraphic analysis became one of the most popular methods for studying macroevolutionary characteristic of genes. It is based on estimation of the divergence time among orthologous genes. Along with methods of microevolutionary analysis (for example, dN/dS ratio estimation), phylostratigraphic methods are increasingly included into the methodological arsenal of evolutionary bioinformatics. There are some software packages used for computational analysis of the evolution by using different phylostratigraphic and microevolutionary indices, but they require users to know some additional software or programming languages. Here we present OrthoWeb software to calculate such indices using web browser only.

The bacteriophage AP300 infecting Sinorhizobium meliloti was isolated from soil sample В from В mountainous region of Dagestan, which belongs to the Caucasus Center for Legume Variety in the frame of the grant RSFВ 17-16-01095. The AP300 genome was annotated and its similarity to bacteriophage vB MloP_Lo5R7ANS (NC_025431; Podoviridae family) infecting Mesorhizobium loti strains was revealed. In the chromosomes of 4 strains of Sinorhizobium meliloti isolated in geographically different regions from soils and nodules of alfalfa plants, intact vB MloP_Lo5R7ANS-like prophages were detected.В The 46.39-57.14% ORFsВ of AP300 and 4 prophages were homologous to ORFsВ of vB MloP_Lo5R7ANS. The 18 ORFs from mentioned above ORFs were identified in all studied sequences and they wereВ similar to those in vB MloP_Lo5R7ANS. The other 7.22-15.79% ORFsВ were homologous to other phages. ORFs encodingВ virion components: head, capsid, tail, virion, integrase were detected in soil bacteriophage AP300 and in all studied В prophages determined in rhizobia symbionts of alfalfa.

The craniofacial morphology is determined by a combination of complex polygenic traits, and trait variability may also be influenced by changes in the final expression of key genes due to polymorphisms in regulatory regions. We found that craniofacial enhancers show greater values ​​of the genetic diversity compared to other tissues.

The rapid emergence and spread of Internet addiction in adolescent populations, combined with a rapid change in consumed content due to mobile access availability and the new access devices, are new challenges for classical psychology and fundamental medicine that require urgent solutions. The presence of the genetic component of Internet addiction was convincingly shown in different populations, but to date the specific genes involved in the mechanisms of such heritability have not been well identified. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of candidate neurotransmitters and to perform a population analysis of candidate genes polymorphisms for the Internet addiction formation. As a result of the analysis, 7 Internet-dependent adolescents and 39 adolescents with a tendency to Internet-dependent behavior were identified. The frequencies of genotype distribution in the population sampling of Caucasians (n = 302) В were obtained: * CC 59.6%, * CT 40.4%, * TT 0% (rs1800497 DRD2); * AA 23.8%, AG 52.4%, * GG 23.8% (rs4680 COMT); * CC 37.4%, * CG 46.0%, * GG 16.6% (rs2229910 NTRK3). The results will help to open new perspectives in assessing the fundamental neurobiological causes for the Internet addiction and the personalization of therapeutic approaches in Internet dependent adolescents.

We performed a comparative analysis of phylogeny, conservative sites, protein domains, and the presence in taxa of FMOs and BVMOs proteins. Earlier in the FMOs, the following protein groups were distinguished: type I FMO, type II FMO, YUCCAs. According to the results of our analysis, we propose that the type II FMO group is, in turn, divided into two groups: FMO IIA type and type IIB FMO. Type IIB FMO proteins represent a new special group in a number of parameters (site consensus, composition of protein domains, presence in taxa and, apparently, functions) significantly different from all other FMOs proteins and type IIA FMO proteins, in particular. While type IIA FMO proteins exhibit properties typical of the FMO subclass. The type IIB FMO protein group is likely to represent a new family of proteins. These proteins are of interest for biocatalysis.

Representatives of Infraorder Gekkota demonstrate relatively low chromosomal evolution and rapidly evolved sex chromosome systems. Using low-coverage chromosome sequencing, we sequenced chromosome-specific libraries of Gekko japonicus and putative sex chromosome of Hemidactylus platyurus to compare with annotated genomes of squamate reptiles. We found evolutionary long conservation of macro-chromosome and high dynamic of micro-chromosomes. Also, we discovered homologues synteny blocks between sex chromosomes of species from different infraorder.

Eisenia nordenskioldi is a polymorphic earthworm species with two subspecies and high cryptic genetic diversity. We performed transcriptome sequencing for eleven genetic lineages of this species and built phylogenies based on different extracted datasets. We demonstrated that, contrary to previous studies, E. nordenskioldi is monophyletic, but both of its subspecies are polyphyletic. E. nordenskioldi was split into two groups of lineages, representing the northwestern and southeastern parts of its range.

Abstract There is a growing interest towards alignment-free approaches that use k-mers as genomic features. Large sizes of poxvirus genomes, their complex organization with repetitive regions and recombination sites, makes it difficult to produce accurate whole genome alignments especially for distantly related species. K-mer based trees built for 663 whole genome sequences were found to be in good agreement with alignment-based ones and correspond well to currently accepted taxonomy and evolution of poxviruses.

The order Acipenseridae is a very interesting group for evolutionary genetics: all species have unique morphology, inter-specific hybrids are widely occurring and there are variations between species in ploidy levels. Most acipenserids are endangered due to poaching and special efforts are required for the maintenance of natural populations. The genetic studies of acipenserids are still limited, although these are needed for successful farming. ITS – is the DNA spacer located between the small subunit and large subunit rRNA genes. The genes encoding ribosomal RNAs are located one after another in tandem and are repeated several hundred times, so we use new generation sequencing to estimate the frequency of occurrence of SNPs in the genome of one organism. ITS1 and ITS2 are used as phylogenetic markers to study the relationships between highly diverged taxonomic groups [1]. Despite high interest to different sturgeon species, acipenserid ITS1 and ITS2 sequences are missing in the GenBank depository, and most sturgeon population studies are performed using mitochondrial markers. Here we study the structure of ITS1 and ITS2 in several sturgeon species and demonstrate efficiency of these nuclear markers for species identification and interspecific hybrids confirmation.
