Article Title : Classification of non-animals and invertebrates based on
amino acid composition of complete mitochondrial genomes
Abstract :
Amino acid compositions were predicted from data sets of 47 non-animal and
58 invertebrate animal complete mitochondrial genomes, which were chosen
alphabetically based on scientific names without considering biological
characteristics. Using Ward’s clustering method with amino acid composition
or nucleotide content as traits,non-animals were classified into Plantae,
Chromalveolata, and Fungi, and invertebrates were classified into Animalia
and primitive groups, Amoebozoa, Excavata, Protista, and Choanozoa. A
combined sample set of primitive eukaryotes was also examined by cluster
analysis using amino acid composition and nucleotide content. Some Amoebozoa
comprised a single cluster, whereas other Amoebozoa were grouped with other
organisms (Excavata, Prosista, Chromaleolata, Fungi and Plantae),
indicating their close relationships. Choanozoa (choanoflagellates; Monosiga
brevicollis), considered the closest living relatives of animals, were
found to be instead closely related to Fungi (Smittium culisetae, Pleurotus
ostreatus, and Epidermophyton floccosum) and Excavata Malawimonas
jakobiformis). Our results demonstrate that amino acid composition and
nucleotide content are useful indices for characterizing non-animal and
invertebrate complete mitochondrial genomes.
