- Abstract
- The monogonont rotifer Brachionus spp. have been widely used for ecotoxicological studies because of their advantages as one of the most suitable laboratory experimental species. In the present study, we obtained and assembled the whole genome sequence of the rotifer Brachionus rotundiformis, consisting of 13,612 annotated genes with 213 scaffolds and 58 Mb in total length. Focusing on ecotoxicological aspects, we conducted a comparative genome analysis on the gene families involved in detoxification, including four to six sulfo-transferase gene families, seven uridine 5 '-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase gene families, and 58, 61, or 70 ATP-binding cassette genes in the genus Brachionus including Brachionus koreanus and Brachionus plicatilis. Our results suggest that these gene families have undergone a speciesand/or lineage-specific evolution in response to the surrounding environmental pressure. Our genome resource for B. rotundiformis would be highly useful for future ecotoxicological studies and also provides a better understanding on the view of evolutionary mechanism of detoxification in the genus Brachionus spp.
