Gene model for the ortholog of mts in Drosophila mojavensis

Megan E Lawson et al. MicroPubl Biol. .

Abstract

Gene model for the ortholog of microtubule star ( mts ) in the D. mojavensis May 2011 (Agencourt dmoj_caf1/DmojCAF1) Genome Assembly (GenBank Accession: GCA_000005175.1 ) of Drosophila mojavensis . This ortholog was characterized as part of a developing dataset to study the evolution of the Insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway (IIS) across the genus Drosophila using the Genomics Education Partnership gene annotation protocol for Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences.

Figure 1. mts gene model comparison between Drosophila mojavensis and Drosophila melanogaster orthologs
(A) Synteny of genomic neighborhood of mts in D. melanogaster and D. mojavensis . Gene arrows pointing in the same direction as reference gene in both D. mojavensis and D. melanogaster are on the same strand as the reference gene; gene arrows pointing in the opposite direction are on the opposite strand. The thin underlying arrows pointing to the right indicate that mts is on the + strand; arrows pointing to the left indicate that mts is on the – strands. Arrows in D. mojavensis indicate the locus ID of the genes, white arrows indicate orthology to the corresponding gene in D. melanogaster , gray arrows indicate an orthologous gene pointing in the opposite direction as D. melanogaster relative to mts , and black arrows indicate a non-orthologous gene. The gene names given in the D. mojavensis gene arrows indicate the orthologous gene in D. melanogaster , while the locus identifiers are specific to D. mojavensis . (B) Gene Model in UCSC Track Hub (Raney et al. 2014): the gene model in D. mojavensis (black), Spaln of D. melanogaster Proteins (purple, alignment of RefSeq proteins from D. melanogaster ), BLAT alignments of NCBI RefSeq Genes (blue, alignment of RefSeq genes for D. mojavensis ), RNA-Seq from adult females (red) and adult males (blue) (alignment of Illumina RNA-Seq reads from D. mojavensis ), and Transcripts (green) including coding regions predicted by TransDecoder and Splice Junctions Predicted by regtools using D. mojavensis RNA-Seq (Chen et al. , 2014; SRP006203 ). Splice junctions shown have a minimum read-depth of 1362 with >1000 supporting reads shown in red. The custom gene model (User Supplied Track) is indicated in black with CDSs depicted with boxes and introns with narrow lines (arrows indicate direction of transcription). (C) Dot Plot of mts_PA in D. melanogaster ( x -axis) vs. the orthologous peptide in D. mojavensis ( y -axis). Amino acid number is indicated along the left and bottom; CDS number is indicated along the top and right, and CDSs are also highlighted with alternating colors.
