中国湛江市和哈尔滨市褐家鼠种群遗传结构及其年度变化特征

为探索褐家鼠Rattus norvegicus地理种群的遗传结构及其年度变化特点,本研究以广东省湛江市的褐家鼠指名亚种和黑龙江省哈尔滨市的褐家鼠东北亚种为主要研究对象,结合我国及世界其他褐家鼠种群的D-loop序列分析这2个褐家鼠地理种群间D-loop序列的遗传分化情况及系统进化关系,重点分析2008—2015年褐家鼠湛江种群和哈尔滨种群D-loop单倍型的年度频率变化特点。结果表明,褐家鼠湛江种群和哈尔滨种群共有32种不同的单倍型,其中有11种单倍型是2个种群共有的,有4种单倍型仅在湛江种群中出现,有17种单倍型仅在哈尔滨种群中出现。褐家鼠湛江种群D-loop区的核苷酸多态性为0.005,有27个变异位点,单倍型多态性为0.695,褐家鼠哈尔滨种群D-loop区的核苷酸多态性比湛江种群略高,为0.008,有35个变异位点,单倍型多态性为 0.793。褐家鼠湛江种群和哈尔滨种群没有经历过暴发性的扩增。褐家鼠湛江、哈尔滨和湖北3个地理种群的D-loop序列之间发生了明显的遗传分化,其中湛江种群和哈尔滨种群之间的分化程度最高,遗传分化系数F_st为0.245。褐家鼠湛江种群和哈尔滨种群的单倍型数目和主单倍型频率都发生明显波动,推测主要原因可能是由于灭鼠剂的大量使用或其他灭鼠活动导致种群出现瓶颈或更替的现象。     

Low mtDNA Cytb diversity and shallow population structure of Eleutheronema tetradactylum in the East China Sea and the South China Sea

Eleutheronema tetradactylum is an economically important fish species in China water. To investigate the genetic diversity and describe population structure of it, an 1151 base pair (bp) fragment of the mitochondrial DNA Cytb sequence was analyzed in 120 individuals from four populations in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. A total of 16 haplotypes were defined by 24 variable nucleotide sites. High level of haplotype diversity and low nucleotide diversity were observed in all populations. The results of AMOVA detected that 89.44% of the genetic variation occurred within populations. Significant genetic differentiations were detected among populations (0.05097, P < 0.05), but no large-scale regional differences were detected. Analysis of neutral evolution and mismatch distribution suggested no recent population expansion happened. The present results provided new information for genetic assessment, fishery management and conservation of this species.     

基于线粒体Cyt b基因的龙头鱼群体遗传结构分析

在我国黄海、东海和南海海岸带上, 选取青岛、南通、舟山、三门、宁德、泉州和湛江共7个群体164尾龙头鱼(Harpadon nehereus)为研究对象, 通过PCR扩增共获得长度为1112 bp的线粒体DNA细胞色素b (Cyt b)基因序列, 共检测到32个变异位点, 其中单变异位点27个, 简约信息位点1个。164条序列定义了29个单倍型, 平均单倍型多样性(H_d)和核苷酸多样性(π)分别为0.3026±0.0479和0.000371±0.000379, 其中泉州群体的单倍型多样性和核苷酸多样性均最低。分析比较了不同龙头鱼群体间遗传变异情况, 发现群体间平均遗传距离为0.00035, 遗传分化指数F_ST值均小于0.05, 群体间没有发生明显的遗传分化。AMOVA分析结果显示龙头鱼群体遗传差异主要来源于群体内个体间的变异。中性检验的Tajima’s D和Fu’s F_s统计值均为负值且显著偏离中性, 核苷酸不配对分布图呈现明显的单峰分布, 表明龙头鱼历史上经历了群体扩张事件, 参考已知海洋鱼类Cyt b基因2%每百万年的进化速率, 估算群体扩张发生的时间大约在0.08—0.32百万年前的第四纪更新世中晚期。     

基于mtDNA Cyt b序列分析齐口裂腹鱼群体遗传多样性

研究测定了长江上游4个齐口裂腹鱼(Schizothorax prenanti)野生群体(重庆巫溪、重庆城口、四川雅安、四川阿坝)共104个个体的线粒体Cyt b基因部分序列, 以探讨齐口裂腹鱼野生群体的遗传多样性和遗传结构。结果表明: 在104个个体Cyt b序列中共检测到43个多态性位点, 25个单倍型。4个齐口裂腹鱼群体的单倍型多样性介于0.704—0.884, 核苷酸多样性介于0.007—0.012。群体间Kimura双参数遗传距离介于0.008—0.017, 其中四川雅安群体与四川阿坝群体间遗传距离最近, 基因交流频繁。重庆城口群体与四川雅安群体间遗传距离最远, 基因交流受阻。AMOVA分析表明, 齐口裂腹鱼的遗传分化主要来自群体内部, 且组群间、组群内群体间和群体内存在显著的遗传分化。中性检验得到Tajima’s D和 Fu’s F_s的值不显著, 且歧点分布图呈多峰, 表明长江上游4个齐口裂腹鱼野生群体未经历过种群扩张。研究旨为齐口裂腹鱼野生资源保护提供必要参考意见, 同时为齐口裂腹鱼种质资源合理开发和利用提供理论依据。     

Genetic diversity and maternal origin of Bangladeshi chicken

Local domestic chicken populations are of paramount importance as a source of protein in developing countries. Bangladesh possesses a large number of native chicken populations which display a broad range of phenotypes well adapted to the extreme wet and hot environments of this region. This and the fact that wild jungle fowls (JFs) are still available in some regions of the country, it urges to study the present genetic diversity and relationships between Bangladeshi autochthonous chicken populations. Here, we report the results of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence polymorphisms analyses to assess the genetic diversity and possible maternal origin of Bangladeshi indigenous chickens. A 648-bp fragment of mtDNA control region (D-loop) was analyzed in 96 samples from four different chicken populations and one red JF population. Sequence analysis revealed 39 variable sites that defined 25 haplotypes. Estimates of haplotype and nucleotide diversities ranged from 0.745 to 0.901 and from 0.011 to 0.016, respectively. The pairwise differences between populations ranged from 0.091 to 1.459 while most of the Phi_ST (Φ_ST) values were significant. Furthermore, AMOVA analysis revealed 89.16 % of the total genetic diversity was accounted for within population variation, indicating little genetic differentiation among the studied populations. The median network analysis from haplotypes of Bangladeshi chickens illustrated five distinct mitochondrial haplogroups (A, D, E, F and I). Individuals from all Bangladeshi chicken populations were represented in the major clades D and E; those maternal origins are presumed to be from Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asian countries, more particularly from South China, Vietnam, Myanmar and Thailand. Further, phylogenetic analysis between indigenous chicken populations and sub-species of red JFs showed G. g. gallus and G. g. spadiceus shared with almost all haplogroups and had major influence than G. g. murghi in the origin of indigenous chicken of Bangladesh. These results suggest that Bangladeshi indigenous chickens still have abundant genetic diversity and have originated from multiple maternal lineages, and further conservation efforts are warranted to maintain the diversity.     

A combined approach using ISSR and ITS analysis for the characterization of Artemisia halodendron from Horqin sandy land,northern China

Artemisia halodendron is the most dominant and constructive species among the Horqin sandy land. We evaluated its genetic variation and phylogenetic analysis within and among its populations sampled from six different habitats gradient from the Horqin sandy land in the northeast of China by using inter-simple sequence repeat polymorphism (ISSR) and the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) molecular markers. The results showed that eight ISSR primers generated 84 bands, of which 48 (57.14%) were polymorphic. The highest genetic diversity was observed in the inter-dune lowland population, whereas the lowest diversity was found in the mobile dune population. The AMOVA analysis revealed a relatively high level of genetic variation within its populations. The alignment of 124 ITS sequences showed 401 variable sites and the GC content ranged from 54.02% to 57.32%. The ITS tree revealed the existence of three major clades, and that the semi-mobile dune population was more closely related to the inter-dune lowland population.     

Genetic Variations of 13 Indigenous Chinese Goat Breeds Based on Cytochrome b Gene Sequences

Phylogenetic relationships among and genetic variability within 13 Chinese indigenous goat breeds and Boer goat were analyzed using cytochrome b gene sequences. There were 44 variable sites found in a 642 bp sequence, and 46 Cyt b haplotypes were subsequently defined. The phylogeny analysis of haplotypes in combination with goat Cyt b sequences from GenBank shows that Chinese goats are obviously separated from wild goats and might come from Capra aegagrus. Further analysis indicated that indigenous Chinese goats might descend from at least two lineages; most of the individuals analyzed could be classified into lineage A as defined by Luikart, but five other goats were of uncertain lineage. The Tibet plateau is a possible place of origin for Chinese goats. The neighbor-joining tree based on pairwise differences among populations shows that most Tibetan goats, except the Middle Tibet type, cluster closely with North China goats, and then with South China goats. This result confirms that differences in genetic structure exist among goats in different geographic locations. Nucleotide diversity varied among populations. Tibet and North China goats had higher genetic diversity than South China goats. The fixation index (F _st=87.72%) suggested that most of the total genetic variation was due to variation within populations. In addition, the results indicate that Cyt b gene sequence information alone might not be enough for phylogeny analysis among breeds within species, as shown by fewer polymorphic sites and lower bootstrap values on the neighbor-joining tree.     

POPULATION GENETIC STRUCTURE OF FINLESS PORPOISES, NEOPHOCAENA PHOCAENOIDES, IN CHINESE WATERS, INFERRED FROM MITOCHONDRIAL CONTROL REGION SEQUENCES

Seven hundred and twenty base pairs (bp) of the mitochondrial control region from 73 finless porpoises, Neophocaena phocaenoides , in Chinese waters were sequenced. Thirteen variable sites were determined and 17 haplotypes were defined. Of these, 5 and 7 were found only in the Yellow Sea population and the South China Sea population, respectively, whereas no specific haplo-type was found in the Yangtze River population. Phylogenetic analyses using NJ and ML algorithm did not divide the haplotypes into monophyletic clades representing recognized geographic populations of finless porpoises in Chinese waters, suggesting the existence of migration and gene flow among populations. Analysis of molecular variance showed the obvious population genetic structure (φ_st= 0.41, P < 0.05); however, the structure was mainly between either the Yangtze River population or the Yellow Sea population and the South China Sea population. The genetic diversity (nucleotide diversity and haplotypic diversity) of the Yellow Sea population was significantly higher than those of the Yangtze River population and the South China Sea population, suggesting the relatively later divergence of the latter two populations and supporting the Yellow Sea population as the original center of Neophocaena .

Population genetic structure of the tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) in the coastal waters of South China, based on mitochondrial DNA control region sequences

Genetic variation and population structure of Penaeus monodon in the coastal waters of South China were detected using mitochondrial DNA control region sequences. Eighty individuals were collected at Sanya, Shenzhen, Zhanjiang and Beihai; 69 haplotypes with 157 polymorphic sites were detected. Nucleotide diversity (π) of the combined samples (6.16 ± 3.01%) was much higher than many other species in Chinese seas, such as Penaeus japonicus , Portunus trituberculatus , and Acanthopagrus schlegeli . Genetic differentiation was significant between Beihai and Sanya (pairwise F _ST = 0.09836, P < 0.05), and between Beihai and Shenzhen (pairwise F _ST = 0.12153, P < 0.05). Significant genetic differentiation among all populations was found by analysis of molecular variance ( amova ) ( F _ST = 0.053, P = 0.037 < 0.05). The upgma dendrogram of the four populations showed Sanya and Shenzhen as the closest to each other, with Beihai having the greatest genetic distance from Sanya and Shenzhen. The tiger prawn of the coastal waters of South China should therefore be bred as two separated stocks, avoiding inbreeding or outbreeding selection of P. monodon in the captive breeding program. According to our results one source population is Beihai, and the others are from Sanya and Shenzhen.     

Mitochondrial DNA D‐loop sequences suggest a Southeast Asian and Indian origin of Zimbabwean village chickens

This study sought to assess mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diversity and phylogeographic structure of chickens from five agro‐ecological zones of Zimbabwe. Furthermore, chickens from Zimbabwe were compared with populations from other geographical regions (Malawi, Sudan and Germany) and other management systems (broiler and layer purebred lines). Finally, haplotypes of these animals were aligned to chicken sequences, taken from GenBank, that reflected populations of presumed centres of domestication. A 455‐bp fragment of the mtDNA D‐loop region was sequenced in 283 chickens of 14 populations. Thirty‐two variable sites that defined 34 haplotypes were observed. In Zimbabwean chickens, diversity within ecotypes accounted for 96.8% of the variation, indicating little differentiation between ecotypes. The 34 haplotypes clustered into three clades that corresponded to (i) Zimbabwean and Malawian chickens, (ii) broiler and layer purebred lines and Northwest European chickens, and (iii) a mixture of chickens from Zimbabwe, Sudan, Northwest Europe and the purebred lines. Diversity among clades explained more than 80% of the total variation. Results indicated the existence of two distinct maternal lineages evenly distributed among the five Zimbabwean chicken ecotypes. For one of these lineages, chickens from Zimbabwe and Malawi shared major haplotypes with chicken populations that have a Southeast Asian background. The second maternal lineage, probably from the Indian subcontinent, was common to the five Zimbabwean chicken ecotypes, Sudanese and Northwest European chickens as well as purebred broiler and layer chicken lines. A third maternal lineage excluded Zimbabwean and other African chickens and clustered with haplotypes presumably originating from South China.     

Hierarchical analyses of genetic variation of samples from breeding and feeding grounds confirm the genetic partitioning of northwest Atlantic and South Atlantic populations of swordfish (Xiphias gladius L.)

In species with high migratory potential, the genetic signal revealing population differentiation is often obscured by population admixture. To our knowledge, the explicit comparison of genetic samples from known spawning and feeding areas has not been conducted for any highly migratory pelagic fish species. This study examines the geographic heterogeneity of swordfish mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineages within the Atlantic Ocean using 330 base pairs of sequence of the control region from 480 individuals. Hierarchical analyses of sequence variation were conducted to test whether samples from areas identified as the corresponding spawning and feeding grounds for the northwest (NW) Atlantic (Caribbean and Georges Banks-US northeast) and the South Atlantic (Brazil-Uruguay and Gulf of Guinea), were more closely related to each other than to samples from any other region, including the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean. Phylogeographic analyses reveal that swordfish mtDNA phylogeny is characterized by incomplete lineage sorting and secondary contact of two highly divergent clades. However, despite this complex phylogenetic signature, results from an analysis of nucleotide diversity and from an analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) were for the most part concordant and indicate that NW Atlantic and South Atlantic swordfish belong to separate populations. The mtDNA distinctiveness of NW Atlantic and South Atlantic swordfish populations is indicative of philopatric behavior in swordfish towards breeding and feeding areas.     

Speciation and population structure in the morphospecies Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva) as derived from the mitochondrial ND4 gene

Recent studies have suggested that the phlebotomine sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae), the principal vector of visceral leishmaniasis in the Neotropics, may consist of several allopatric sibling species. Phylogenetic and population genetic analyses of nucleotide variation in a 618-bp fragment of the mitochondrial ND4 gene were carried out on specimens of Lu. longipalpis from several locations in Central and South America. The analyses were concordant with previous findings, indicating that certain allopatric populations of Lu. longipalpis have become sufficiently differentiated as to represent sibling species. Phylogenetic analyses revealed deep genetic divisions between four clades represented by specimens from northern South America, Brazil, Central America, and an isolated Colombian population. Strong differentiation also was observed between certain populations within the first two clades. Partitioning of genetic diversity within and between Central American populations did not show the presence of more than one species in the region. However, distance, even within the 70-km range of the Honduran collection sites, was found to have a remarkably strong effect on gene flow. The highly subdivided population structure may be due to the patchiness of their distribution. F(ST) values comparing a Guatemalan population with several Honduran populations revealed a level of differentiation associated with a negligible rate of gene flow.     

Genetic structure of the endangered plant Neolitsea sericea (Lauraceae) from the Zhoushan archipelago using RAPD markers

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The Zhoushan archipelago is the largest archipelago in China. It separated from the mainland about 9000 years ago due to rising sea levels and climate change. Because of the long-term influences of human activities, the original forest vegetation on the large islands has been badly damaged and its plant diversity reduced. METHODS: Levels and patterns of genetic diversity in 114 individuals from six natural populations and four cultivated populations of the insular endangered plant Neolitsea sericea (Lauraceae) on the Zhoushan archipelago were assessed using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. KEY RESULTS: A total of 99 discernible loci were obtained for all populations using ten primers, 50.5 % of which were polymorphic [percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB)=50.5 %]. Despite being a woody, long-lived, perennial, outcrossing and insect-pollinated plant, N. sericea exhibited low levels of genetic variation. The cultivated populations (PPB=18.9 %, HE=0.060, S=0.092) were genetically less diverse than the natural populations (PPB=23.1 %, HE=0.082, S=0.123). Based on analysis of molecular variance, a high degree of among-population differentiation was revealed for both natural (0.387) and cultivated populations (0.598). CONCLUSIONS: Removal of plants from the wild for horticulture purposes has eroded the level of genetic variation of N. sericea. Low levels of genetic diversity and a high degree of population differentiation indicate that management strategies should include conservation of natural habitats occupied by all six wild populations, and sampling of germplasm resources from multiple seed sources.

Lack of genetic structure in endangered large yellow croaker Larimichthys crocea from China inferred from mitochondrial control region sequence data

The large yellow croaker Larimichthys crocea is an important commercial marine fish species in China. However, information about the population structure of this species is limited. In the present study, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region was sequenced from four populations of the yellow croaker in the southern Yellow Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea to investigate the genetic structure of this species. A total of 54 haplotypes were detected among 62 individuals of large yellow croaker. High levels of population genetic diversity were observed. Among the four populations, the haplotype diversity was between 0.9895 ± 0.0193 (Xiamen) and 1.0000 ± 0.0524 (Lvsi, Zhoushan). The nucleotide diversity ranged from 0.0208 ± 0.0108 (Xuwen) to 0.0246 ± 0.0138 (Lvsi). The results of AMOVA detected no significant differences among populations. The conventional F_ST statistics were negative and insignificant values. These indicated lack of population genetic structure throughout the Yellow Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea, and random mixing of individuals among the samples. Biological characters of large yellow croaker and lack of physical barrier in the studied area could be the reasons for lack of genetic structure in this species.     

Population and genomic lessons from genetic analysis of two Indian populations

Indian demographic history includes special features such as founder effects, interpopulation segregation, complex social structure with a caste system and elevated frequency of consanguineous marriages. It also presents a higher frequency for some rare mendelian disorders and in the last two decades increased prevalence of some complex disorders. Despite the fact that India represents about one-sixth of the human population, deep genetic studies from this terrain have been scarce. In this study, we analyzed high-density genotyping and whole-exome sequencing data of a North and a South Indian population. Indian populations show higher differentiation levels than those reported between populations of other continents. In this work, we have analyzed its consequences, by specifically assessing the transferability of genetic markers from or to Indian populations. We show that there is limited genetic marker portability from available genetic resources such as HapMap or the 1,000 Genomes Project to Indian populations, which also present an excess of private rare variants. Conversely, tagSNPs show a high level of portability between the two Indian populations, in contrast to the common belief that North and South Indian populations are genetically very different. By estimating kinship from mates and consanguinity in our data from trios, we also describe different patterns of assortative mating and inbreeding in the two populations, in agreement with distinct mating preferences and social structures. In addition, this analysis has allowed us to describe genomic regions under recent adaptive selection, indicating differential adaptive histories for North and South Indian populations. Our findings highlight the importance of considering demography for design and analysis of genetic studies, as well as the need for extending human genetic variation catalogs to new populations and particularly to those with particular demographic histories.     

Phylogenetic,Demographic and Dating Analyses of Bufo gargarizans Populations from the Zhoushan Archipelago and Mainland China

Relatively little is known about the relationship between Bufo gargarizans populations from Zhoushan Archipelago and nearby continental regions on the Pacific coast of eastern China.In this paper,155 new specimens of B.gargarizans from Zhoushan Archipelago and adjacent continents and 71 published specimens of B.gargarizans from mainland China were studied.Phylogeographical and dating analyses of B.gargarizans were performed using mitochondrial DNA sequencing with a length of 1436 bp.A mt DNA tree that indicated seven major clades was obtained.The earliest split in the mt DNA tree corresponding to the divergence of populations from the western highland region occurred approximately 4.0 million years ago(mya).A subsequent clade occurred about 3.4 mya,with cladogenesis continuing toward the end of the Pleistocene.The continental clades were distributed in the western,central and northeastern regions of China.Zhoushan Archipelago clades consisted of two largely geographically overlapping subclades with the mt DNA divergence time of 0.73 mya.These results indicated there was extensive dispersal after vicariance.The B.gargarizans populations on Zhoushan Archipelago most probably originated from populations in nearby eastern continental regions of China.It was concluded that geological uplifting during the Pliocene and several sea-level changes in Pleistocene might have influenced the divergence and population demographical history of this species.     

秦岭地区赤胸梳爪步甲种群的遗传多样性和扩张历史分析（英文）

赤胸梳爪步Dolichus halensis (Schaller)（鞘翅目：步甲科）是重要的捕食性天敌昆虫,在我国分布广泛。为揭示其种群遗传多样性和扩张机制, 本研究以秦岭地区为中心,以线粒体Cox1 tRNALeu Cox2基因片段为分子标记,对来自于24个采集点共191个个体进行了检测分析。在长度为1 601 bp的碱基中共检测到45个变异位点,定义了53个单倍型,单倍型多样性高（H_d=0.796）,而核苷酸多样性较低（P_i=0.0033）。系统发育分析结果表明该地区该物种存在两大进化枝。分子变异分析（AMOVA）表明86.61%的变异来源于种群内。SAMOVA和PERMUT分析结果一致,表明秦岭地区分布的赤胸梳爪步甲种群不存在明显的谱系地理结构。中性检验和错配分布分析的结果一致,表明该物种在秦岭地区曾经发生过种群扩张。综上,认为赤胸疏爪步甲种群经历过冰期后的扩散。     

中国桔小实蝇种群的微卫星多态性分析

为了研究桔小实蝇种群的遗传结构,本文采用微卫星分子标记技术,对中国南方9省区、越南和泰国的11个桔小实蝇地理种群共224个个体的遗传多样性水平及种群遗传结构进行了研究。用9对微卫星引物共检测到48个等位基因, 平均每个微卫星位点的等位基因数为5.33个。GENEPOP分析结果表明：11个桔小实蝇种群在9个微卫星位点上的多态位点百分率平均为94.45%。种群的Nei's基因多样性指数平均为0.4371,Shannon信息指数平均为0.7870,表明桔小实蝇种群具有非常丰富的遗传多样性。Nei's遗传多样性分析发现,各地理种群间产生了一定程度的遗传分化,种群间平均遗传分化系数F_st=0.2370。种群间一定程度的遗传分化可能是由地理隔离和基因流障碍（N_em = 0.8049）所引起。UPGMA聚类分析可知, 中国的桔小实蝇地理种群可分为华南支和西南支两大分支,华南分支包括福建、台湾、广东和海南4个种群,西南分支包括四川、云南、广西、贵州和湖南5个种群。由此推测, 中国桔小实蝇种群结构的形成与演变是在地理演化与经贸交流加强这两种因素的影响下不断进行的动态过程。
