金华猪遗传结构及其与太湖猪遗传分化的研究

本研究利用65个微卫星标记结合荧光标记检测技术, 对金华猪I系、II系、III系共271个个体以及嘉兴黑猪、中梅山猪、小梅山猪和二花脸猪等4个太湖猪品种和嵊县花猪各30头的基因型进行了检测, 统计分析了金华猪各品系的遗传结构及各猪种群间的遗传分化。结果显示: 金华猪品系间具有丰富的遗传变异, 平均有效等位基因数以金华猪I系最高, 为3.5; 其次是II系和III系, 分别是2.8和2.5, 金华猪3个品系的平均多态信息含量均高于0.5; I、II、III系的平均观察杂合度分别是0.381、0.399和0.442。金华猪3个品系偏离Hardy-Weinberg平衡的程度不一:I系偏离较大, III系次之, II系相对较小。分析认为金华猪各品系存在一定程度的近交, 品系间存在不同的等位基因。遗传分化结果显示: 金华猪II系和III系间遗传分化相对较小(F_ST＝0.1883), 但它们与I系间的遗传分化较大, F_ST值分别是0.3663和0.3619。同时, 金华猪各品系与太湖猪的遗传关系较近, 其中与中梅山猪群体遗传分化相对较小, F_ST值分别为0.3581、0.3560和0.3572。而金华猪各品系与嵊县花猪的遗传分化最大, F_ST值分别为0.4499, 0.4654和0.4801, 由此可见, 金华猪不同于其他浙江省地方品种, 有着独立的起源和驯化进程。     

板栗和锥栗同域居群的空间遗传结构

采用微卫星技术研究了板栗(Castanea mollissima)和锥栗(C. henryi)同域分布居群的空间遗传结构, 探讨了它们的遗传变异空间分布特征及其形成机制。结果表明,采用的7个微卫星在两物种中共扩增出173个等位基因,两物种都具有较高的遗传多样性且种间遗传分化水平较低(F_ST=0.051), 但空间自相关分析揭示板栗和锥栗在同域居群中具有不同的空间遗传结构,锥栗在100 m内有空间遗传结构,而板栗没有;同时,基于亲缘关系系数F_ij的Sp统计值也显示锥栗具有比板栗更强的空间遗传结构(板栗的Sp=0.002;锥栗的Sp=0.018)。居群遗传变异的空间结构是其传粉和种子散播及生境共同作用的结果,其中种子的近距离散播和居群密度可能是主要的因素。板栗和锥栗居群在小尺度上空间遗传结构的差异可能反映了它们种子的大小及扩散过程的差异。

濒危物种巴东木莲的等位酶遗传多样性及其保护策略

为了确定中国特有濒危植物巴东木莲(Manglietia patungensis)的就地保护优先单元和制定迁地保护的取样策略,采用超薄平板聚丙烯酰胺等电聚焦电泳技术对巴东木莲的7个野生居群的等位酶遗传多样性及遗传结构进行了分析。通过对8个酶系统19个酶位点的分析结果来看,巴东木莲具有较高的遗传多样性和一定程度的遗传分化。每位点平均等位基因数（A）为1.57,多态位点百分率（P）为48.1%,平均预期杂合度（H_e）为0.192。巴东木莲居群间的遗传分化系数（G_ST）为0.165,说明其16.5％的遗传变异存在于居群间;基于遗传分化系数计算的基因流（N_m）为1.27,说明居群间存在适度的基因流;固定指数(F)为-0.191,显示巴东木莲居群杂合体轻微过量,纯合体略显不足。本研究表明,目前巴东木莲仍具有较高的遗传多样性并且在其适宜生境中可以完成自然更新,因此应采取以就地保护为主的综合保育策略。     

华南鲤选育群体不同世代遗传多样性与遗传结构的微卫星分析

为了解人工选育对华南鲤(Cyprinus carpio rubrofuscus)选育群体遗传结构的影响, 采用微卫星技术分析了华南鲤4个连续选育世代(F₁、F₂、F₃和F₄)的遗传多样性和遗传结构。结果显示:在4个选育群体中, 16对微卫星引物共扩增得到99个等位基因, 每个微卫星座位检测到的等位基因数为3—10个, 平均为6.1875个。随着人工连续选育的进行, F₁到F₄的平均等位基因数(N_a)从5.6875下降到4.6755, 平均观测杂合度(H_o)从0.7943下降到0.7135, 平均多态信息含量(PIC)从0.6577下降到0.5834。F₁与其后各代的遗传距离逐代增加(从0.1486上升到0.2181), 遗传相似系数逐代减小(从0.8619下降到0.8041), 而相邻世代间的遗传分化指数(F_st)逐代变小(F₁与F₂为0.062, F₂与F₃为0.058, F₃与F₄则为0.051), 遗传相似性逐步升高。世代间F_st值配对比较结果显示4个世代间的遗传分化处于中等水平, 表明人工选育已对华南鲤选育群体的遗传结构产生了影响。实验结果表明, 华南鲤经过4代选育后, 虽然遗传杂合度和遗传多样性存在下降的现象, 但遗传多样性水平依然较高, 还具有进一步选育的潜力。研究结果为下一步制定华南鲤新品种选育计划提供基础遗传数据。     

Transferability and characterization of microsatellite markers in two Neotropical Ficus species

Microsatellite markers were transferred and characterized for two Neotropical fig tree species, Ficus citrifolia and Ficus eximia. Our study demonstrated that microsatellite markers developed from different subgenera of Ficus can be transferred to related species. In the present case, 12 of the 15 primer pairs tested (80%) were successfully transferred to both of the above species. Eleven loci were polymorphic when tested across 60 F. citrifolia and 60 F. eximia individuals. For F. citrifolia, there were 4 to 15 alleles per locus, whereas expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.31 to 0.91. In the case of F. eximia, this was 2 to 12 alleles per locus and expected heterozygosities from 0.42 to 0.87.

利用17对微卫星引物对稀有鮈鲫（Gobiocypris rarus）野生群体和近交系F20和F22进行了遗传分析。结果表明在野生群体中17个微卫星位点均为多态位点,但在F20中仅有6个多态位点,F22中则仅有4个多态位点。在野生群体中共检测到64个等位基因,F20、F22分别为26、21个。近交系的平均基因纯合率均较高,其中F20为86.18%,F22达91.96%,而野生群体平均基因纯合率为46.84%。近交系平均杂合度和平均多态信息含量均较野生群体低。在近交系F20和F22中,群体间遗传相似性指数最大,其遗传距离最小,说明二者之间的亲缘关系最近。HAN系遗传多样性明显降低,已具有较高的遗传纯度。     

Low genotyping error rates in non-invasively collected samples from roe deer of the Bavarian Forest National Park

Genetic wildlife monitoring is increasingly carried out on the basis of non-invasively collected samples, whereby the most commonly used DNA sources are skin appendages (hairs, feathers) and faeces. In order to guide decisions regarding future adequate ways to monitor the roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) population of the Bavarian Forest National Park in Germany, we tested these two different types of DNA source materials to compare their suitability for genetic monitoring. We determined the haplotypes (d-loop) of 19 roe deer and genotyped each individual (tissue, hairs, faeces) across 12 microsatellite loci. The amount of missing and erroneous microsatellite alleles obtained from hair and faeces samples, respectively, was estimated based on comparisons with the corresponding tissue sample control. We observed no missing alleles in hair samples, but in fecal samples PCR failed in 30 out of 228 instances (19 individuals x 12 loci), corresponding to a frequency of missing alleles of 13.2% across all loci and individuals. In genotypes generated from hairs erroneous alleles were detected in 2 out of 228 instances (0.9%), while genotypes retrieved from fecal samples displayed erroneous alleles in 6 out of 198 remaining instances (3%). We conclude that both hair and fecal samples are generally well suited for genetic roe deer monitoring, but that fecal sample based analyses require a larger sample size to account for higher PCR failure rates.     

Characterization of 13 microsatellite loci developed from Meconopsis horridula

Meconopsis horridula is one of the eight most famous flowers in Chinese province of Yunnan. In this study, a modified biotin-streptavidin capture method was used to detect 13 microsatellite markers in the genome of M. horridula. The polymorphism of each locus was assessed in 24 samples collected from four populations. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 7 (mean: 3.2). The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.0833 to 0.9167 and 0.0816 to 0.8050, respectively. Additionally, nine of the 13 microsatellite markers were successfully amplified in three other congeneric species. These polymorphic SSR markers could be useful for studying the population genetics of M. horridula and for assessing genetic variation in this and congenerc species in conservation programs.     

Genetic variation in eight Chinese cattle breeds based on the analysis of microsatellite markers

Genetic variability and genetic relationships were investigated among eight Chinese cattle breeds using 12 microsatellite markers. Three hundred and fifty-two alleles were detected and the average number of alleles per locus ranged from 8.33 ± 1.67 in the Jiaxian breed to 21.33 ± 5.60 in the Qinchuan breed with a mean value of 13.91. The total number of alleles per microsatellite ranged from 21 (INRA005, HEL1) to 40 (HEL13), with a mean of 29.33 per locus. The fixation indices at the 12 loci in the eight breeds were very low with a mean of 0.006. A principal components analysis and the construction of a neighborjoining tree showed that these eight Chinese cattle breeds cluster into three groups i.e. the Yanbian andChineseHolstein, theNanyang and Jiaxian, and the four remaining breeds.This clustering agrees with the origin and geographical distributions of these Chinese breeds.     

The analysis of genetic diversity and differentiation of six Chinese cattle populations using microsatellite markers

A total of 321 individuals from six cattle populations of four species in a bovine subfamily in China were studied using 12 pairs of microsatellite markers. The genetic diversities within and between populations were calculated. The phylogenetic trees were constructed by （δμ）^2 and DA distances, and the divergence times between populations were estimated by （δμ）^2. Altogether, 144 microsatellite alleles were detected including 24 private alleles and nine shared alleles. Chinese Holstein had the largest number of private alleles （10）, whereas Bohai black and Buffalo had the smallest number of private alleles （2）. Chinese Holstein showed the highest genetic variability. Its observed number of alleles （Na）, mean effective number of alleles （MNA）, and mean heterozygosity （He） were 7.7500, 4.9722, and 0.7719, respectively, whereas, the Buffalo and Yak showed low genetic variability. In the phylogenetic trees, Luxi and Holstein grouped first, followed by Bohai and Minnan. Yak branched next and buffalo emerged as the most divergent population from other cattle populations. Luxi and Bohai were estimated to have diverged 0.039-0.105 million years ago （MYA）, however, buffalo and Holstein diverged 0.501-1.337 MYA. The divergence time of Yak versus Minnan, Holstein and buffalo was 0.136-0.363, 0.273-0.729, and 0.326-0.600 MYA, respectively.     

Population genetic structure of the lemon shark (Negaprion brevirostris) in the western Atlantic: DNA microsatellite variation

DNA microsatellite markers were used to characterize the population genetic structure of the lemon shark, Negaprion brevirostris, in the western Atlantic. This study demonstrates for the first time the usefulness of microsatellites to study population genetic structure and mating systems in the Chondricthyes. Lemon sharks (mostly juveniles) were sampled non-destructively from four locations, Gullivan Bay and Marquesas Key in Florida, Bimini, Bahamas, and Atol das Rocas, Brazil. At least 545 individuals were genotyped at each of four dinucleotide loci. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 19 to 43, and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.69 to 0.90. Relatively little genetic structure was found in the western Atlantic, with small but significant values for estimators of F(ST) and R(ST) among populations, theta (0.016) and rho (0.026), respectively. No sharp discontinuities were found between the Caribbean sites and Brazil, and most alleles were found at all four sites, indicating that gene flow occurs throughout the western Atlantic with no evidence for distinct stocks.     

Inbreeding in Japanese quail estimated by pedigree and microsatellite analyses

Accurately estimating inbreeding is important because inbreeding reduces fitness and production traits in populations. We analyzed information from pedigrees and from microsatellite markers to estimate inbreeding in a line of Japanese quail derived from a randombred line (QO) and maintained for 17 generations by pedigreed matings of brothers to groups of sisters. Pedigree data were used to calculate the inbreeding coefficient (F(IT)), which is the level of inbreeding based on a reference ancestor. Data from analysis of 14 microsatellite markers in the inbred and QO lines were used to calculate the population differentiation (F(ST)) of the lines caused by inbreeding. The F(IT) was then calculated as F(IT) = F(IS) + (1 - F(IS)) x F(ST), where F(IS) is the level of inbreeding in the inbred line. Observed heterozygosity from analysis of the microsatellite markers of the QO and inbred lines was 0.43 and 0.21, respectively, and the number of alleles was 3.29 and 1.93, demonstrating a reduction of genetic diversity in the inbred line. The F(IT) of the inbred line calculated from the pedigree and microsatellite marker analyses was 0.69 +/- 0.07 and 0.57 +/- 0.33, respectively. These data suggest that pedigree analysis was more accurate than microsatellite marker analyses for estimating inbreeding in this line of Japanese quail.     

Population structure of lake‐type and river‐type sockeye salmon in transboundary rivers of northern British Columbia

The population structure of 'lake‐type' and 'river‐type' sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka , primarily in transboundary rivers in northern British Columbia, was examined with a survey of microsatellite variation. Variation at 14 microsatellite loci was surveyed from c . 3000 lake‐type and 3200 river‐type sockeye salmon from 47 populations in six river drainages in British Columbia. The mean F _ST for the 14 microsatellite loci and 47 populations was 0·068, and 0·034 over all river‐type populations. River‐type sockeye salmon were more genetically diverse than lake‐type sockeye salmon, with expected heterozygosity of river‐type sockeye salmon 0·72 and with an average 12·7 alleles observed per locus, whereas expected heterozygosity of lake‐type sockeye salmon was 0·65 with and average 10·5 alleles observed per locus. River drainage of origin was a significant unit of population structure. There was clear evidence of genetic differentiation among river‐type populations of sockeye salmon from different drainages over a broad geographic range in British Columbia.
