Mollusks Mitochondrial Sequencing Services

The mitochondrial genome structure of mollusks shows a high degree of variability involving many genomic features, i.e., length, gene arrangement, strand assignment, gene duplication and loss, nucleotide composition, etc. It shows extensive variation in mollusks, gastropods, and bivalves, even within the same family or genus. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been widely used in studying biological evolution and population structure due to its unique maternal inheritance pattern and high mutation frequency. Second-generation sequencing can obtain mitochondrial DNA sequence information easily and rapidly with high throughput; therefore, molluscan mitochondrial sequencing is critical in the field of evolutionary biology research.

Background

  • First-generation Sanger sequencing

Mitochondria DNA sequencing is usually performed on the products of mitochondrial signature gene amplification, as well as on the smaller fragments of Gap present in the second-generation random sequencing for loop formation.

  • Second-generation Illumina random sequencing

Usually, for most animal-like mitochondria and relatively small mitochondrial genomes.

  • Third-generation PacBio long fragment sequencing

a) Mainly for cases with larger mitochondrial genomes and more repetitive regions and complex structures, resulting in poor sequencing coverage, which cannot be looped using only second-generation random sequencing and cannot be Gap-completed using first-generation sequencing.

b) No high-quality mitochondrial reference genome, for the case where the reference genome of closely related species cannot be looped.
