In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Macropodus opercularis was sequenced using Illumina-based de novo transcriptome technology and annotated using bioinformatic tools. The circular mitochondrial genome was 16,496bp in length and contained two ribosomal RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and the control region. The gene composition and order were similar to suborder Anabantoidei. Phylogenetic analyses using concatenated amino acid and nucleotide sequences of the 13 protein-coding genes with two different methods (Neighbor-joining and Bayesian analysis) both highly supported the close relationship of M. opercularis to M. ocellatus, consistent with previous classifications based on morphological and molecular studies. Furthermore, family Channidae and Parachanna insignis were clustered in the same clade. Our results supported the inclusion of family Channidae in suborder Channoidei. The complete mitochondrial genome of M. opercularis will provide genetic markers for better understanding species identification, population genetics and phylogeographics of freshwater fishes.

A software package that integrates ChIP-seq of transcription factors or chromatin regulators with differential gene expression data to infer direct target genes. BETA has three functions: (1) to predict whether the factor has activating or repressive function; (2) to infer the factor''''s target genes; and (3) to identify the motif of the factor and its collaborators which might modulate the factor''''s activating or repressive function. BETA requires ~2GB RAM and 1h for the whole procedure. BETA may run on the web server at Cistrome or may be downloaded.

View all literature mentionsGraphical user interface for multiple sequence alignment and molecular phylogeny. SeaView also generates phylogenetic trees.
View all literature mentionsSoftware tool used to carry out statistical selection of best-fit models of nucleotide substitution without the aid of PAUP*. It implements five different model selection strategies: hierarchical and dynamical likelihood ratio tests, Akaike and Bayesian information criteria, and a decision theory method. It also provides estimates of model selection uncertainty, parameter importances, and model-averaged parameter estimates.
