Percentage of rRNA reads in mosquito total RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data after depletion using probes antisense to Aedes aegypti sequences.

Pools of five individual mosquitoes from genera Aedes (Ae), Culex (Cx), Mansonia (Ma), and Anopheles (An) were ribodepleted by probe hybridisation followed by RNase H digestion according to the protocol by Morlan et al., 2012. Y-axis depicts percentages of remaining rRNA reads calculated as the number of rRNA reads over total reads per sample pool. Depletion efficiency decreases with taxonomic distance from Ae. aegypti underlining the need for reference sequences for species of interest.

Novel mosquito rRNA sequences were obtained using a unique reads filtering method.

(A) Schematic of sequencing and bioinformatics analyses performed in this study to obtain full-length 18S and 28S rRNA sequences as well as cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) DNA sequences. Nucleic acids were isolated from mosquito specimens for next-generation (for rRNA) or Sanger (for COI) sequencing. Two in-house libraries were created from the SILVA rRNA gene database: Insecta and Non-Insecta, which comprises 8,585 sequences and 558,185 sequences, respectively. Following BLASTn analyses against these two libraries, each RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) read is assigned a ratio of BLASTn scores to describe their relative nucleotide similarity to insect rRNA sequences. Based on these ratios of scores, RNA-seq reads can then be filtered to remove non-mosquito reads prior to assembly with SPAdes to give full-length 18S and 28S rRNA sequences. Image created with https://biorender.com/. (B) Based on their ratio of scores, reads can be segregated into four categories, as shown on this ratio of scores versus number of reads plot for the representative specimen ‘CF S27’: (i) reads with hits only in the Insecta library (shaded in green), (ii) reads with a higher score against the Insecta library (shaded in blue), (iii) reads with a higher score against the Non-Insecta library (shaded in yellow), and (iv) reads with no hits in the Insecta library (shaded in red). We applied a conservative threshold at 0.8, indicated by the black horizontal line, where only reads above this threshold are used in the assembly with SPAdes. For this given specimen, 175,671 reads (96.3% of total reads) passed the ≥0.8 cut-off, 325 reads (0.18% of total reads) had ratios of scores <0.8, while 6,423 reads (3.52%) did not have hits against the Insecta library.

28S sequences generated from this study clustered with conspecifics or congenerics from existing GenBank records.

A rooted phylogenetic tree based on full-length 28S sequences (3,900 bp) from this study and from GenBank was inferred using the maximum-likelihood method and constructed to scale in MEGA X (Kumar et al., 2018) using an unknown Horreolanus species found among our samples as an outgroup. Values at each node indicate bootstrap support (%) from 500 replications. Sequences from GenBank are annotated with filled circles and their accession numbers are shown. For sequences from this study, each specimen label contains information on taxonomy, origin (in two-letter country codes), and specimen ID number. Some specimens produced up to two consensus 28S sequences; this is indicated by the numbers 1 or 2 at the beginning of the specimen label. Specimen genera are indicated by colour: Culex in coral, Anopheles in purple, Aedes in dark blue, Mansonia in dark green, Culiseta in maroon, Limatus in light green, Coquillettidia in light blue, Psorophora in yellow, Mimomyia in teal, Uranotaenia in pink, and Eretmapodites in brown. Scale bar at 0.05 is shown.

Summary of differences between rRNA and cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) phylogenies.
Taxa28S+18S rRNA phylogeny (Figure 4)COI phylogeny (Figure 5)
The Anopheles genusForms a clade that is basal to the all other members of family Culicidae; interspecies branch lengths are notably longForms a sister clade to the Culex genus, and is depicted to have diverged more recently; interspecies branch lengths are comparable to that of other genera
The Ur. geometrica speciesForms a clade within the Culicinae subfamily lineageForms a clade that is basal to the all other members of family Culicidae
The Aedini tribeForms a monophyletic clade comprising the genera Aedes, Eretmapodites, and Psorophora, with the latter being an early divergent lineageDoes not form a monophyletic clade; the Psorophora clade is placed among Aedes taxa and the Eretmapodites clade is sister to a Culex subgenus Melanoconion clade
The Culex genusSplits into two monophyletic clades with the three French Guyanese species forming a closely related minor cladeSplits into two clades with two out of three French Guyanese species (Cx. pedroi and Cx. portesi) forming a distantly related minor clade, while the third (Cx. spissipes) is a part of the greater clade
The Mansonia genusIs a polyphyletic group comprising two clades with the two French Guyanese taxa forming a distantly related minor clade; the major clade is placed among Culex taxaForms a subgenus Mansonoides clade as per the 28S+18S rRNA tree but the French Guyanese taxa do not cluster together; is depicted to have diverged earlier relative to other taxa in the assemblage
The Ma sp.4 speciesForms a sister clade to Ma. titillans as part of a minor French Guyanese Mansonia cladeDoes not form a sister clade to Ma. titillans; instead is shown to have diverged earlier than all other members of family Culicidae after Ur. geometrica

Comparison of 28S or concatenated 28S+18S rRNA and cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) sequences as molecular markers.
28S+18S rRNA
AdvantagesDisadvantages
  • In RNA-seq metagenomics studies, molecular taxonomy of specimens based on rRNA sequences can be done from RNA-seq data without additional sample preparation or sequencing.

  • 28S rRNA and concatenated 28S+18S rRNA sequences can resolve the identity of specimens where COI sequences were ambiguous, particularly between members of species subgroups.

  • 28S rRNA and concatenated 28S+18S rRNA sequences can distinguish conspecifics from different geographies for certain species.

  • Phylogenetic inferences based on 28S rRNA and concatenated 28S+18S rRNA sequences show relationships that are more concordant to contemporary mosquito systematics elucidated by other studies and may be a more suitable marker to study deep evolutionary relationships.

  • Being longer and nuclear-encoded, 28S or concatenated 28S+18S rRNA sequences are immune to homoplasy or to selective sweeps that may affect genomes of inherited symbionts such as mitochondria.

  • RNA-seq costs more than Sanger sequencing.

  • Reference rRNA sequences are currently much more limited in breadth compared to other established molecular markers.

COI
AdvantagesDisadvantages
  • With a larger reference database, the COI is a versatile marker for molecular taxonomy.

  • Being a shorter DNA marker, the COI gene is cost- and time-effective to amplify, sequence, and characterise.

  • Universal primer sets to amplify the COI marker have been developed and tested for many diverse species.

  • All species taxa clustered into distinct clades but with weaker bootstrap support at internal nodes relative to those of the 28S+18S rRNA tree.

  • For An. coustani, and members of Culex species subgroups such as Cx. quinquefasciatus and Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, COI sequences are unable to unequivocally confirm species identity as species can differ by just one nucleotide. Other molecular markers are often used in tandem.
