Polymorphism of Y-chromosomal microsatellites in Russian populations from the northern and southern Russia as exemplified by the populations of Kursk and Arkhangel'sk Oblast

Allelic polymorphisms at five Y-chromosomal microsatellite loci (DYS19, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, and DYS393) were typed in 87 individuals from male population samples from two geographically isolated regions (Arkhangelsk oblast and Kursk oblast) of the European part of Russia. The populations examined demonstrated substantial differences in the distribution of the DYS392 (P = 0.005) and DYS393 (P = 0.003) alleles. Estimates of genetic relationships between these populations and some other European populations (including Eastern-Slavic) showed that irrespectively of the measure of genetic distance chosen, Arkhangelsk population was closer to the populations belonging to the Finno-Ugric linguistic group (Saami and Estonians) and to the Estonian geographical neighbors, Latvians, while Kursk population was the member of a cluster formed by Eastern-Slavic populations (Russians of Novgorod oblast, Ukrainians, and Belarussians). Phylogenetic analysis of the most frequent haplotypes indicated that these differences between Kursk and Arkhangelsk populations were associated with high prevalence in the latter of major haplotypes characteristic primarily of the Finno-Ugric populations.     

Homogeneity and distinctiveness of Polish paternal lineages revealed by Y chromosome microsatellite haplotype analysis

Different regional populations from Poland were studied in order to assess the genetic heterogeneity within Poland, investigate the genetic relationships with other European populations and provide a population-specific reference database for anthropological and forensic studies. Nine Y-chromosomal microsatellites were analysed in a total of 919 unrelated males from six regions of Poland and in 1,273 male individuals from nine other European populations. AMOVA revealed that all of the molecular variation in the Polish dataset is due to variation within populations, and no variation was detected among populations of different regions of Poland. However, in the non-Polish European dataset 9.3% ( P<0.0001) of the total variation was due to differences among populations. Consequently, differences in R(ST)-values between all possible pairs of Polish populations were not statistically significant, whereas significant differences were observed in nearly all comparisons of Polish and non-Polish European populations. Phylogenetic analyses demonstrated tight clustering of Polish populations separated from non-Polish groups. Population clustering based on Y-STR haplotypes generally correlates well with the geography and history of the region. Thus, our data are consistent with the assumption of homogeneity of present-day paternal lineages within Poland and their distinctiveness from other parts of Europe, at least in respect to their Y-STR haplotypes.

Phylogeography and population structure of the Dall's porpoise,Phocoenoides dalli,in Japanese waters revealed by mitochondrial DNA

We investigated genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among three morphologically distinct populations of Dall's porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) in Japanese waters by analyzing mitochondrial DNA variation. These populations, the Sea of Japan-Okhotsk dalli-type population, the truei-type population and the standard dalli-type population in the northwestern North Pacific, are clearly discriminated from each other by differences in the size of their white flank patch. A total of 479 bp of the mitochondrial control region and flanking tRNA genes was sequenced for 103 individuals. Haplotypic diversity was high (h = 0.968), but these haplotypes differed by only a few nucleotides (pi = 0.0106). Although many haplotypes were shared between populations, analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) indicated genetic subdivision among the three populations (overall F (ST) = 0.023, P < 0.001; phi(ST) = 0.026, P = 0.029). Pairwise comparisons indicated a low but significant difference between the Sea of Japan-Okhotsk and the other two populations, whereas there was no significant difference between the latter. These results suggest that there is a close evolutionary relationship among these populations despite their consistent differences in coloration. This may reflect genetic polymorphism in the common ancestral population, which subsequently underwent a rapid divergence. The low genetic variability and haplotypic differentiation of the Sea of Japan-Okhotsk population suggest that it originated from a small population that colonized the Sea of Japan or that experienced population reduction when this Sea was isolated from the North Pacific in the last glacial period.     

大猿叶虫四地理种群的PCR-RFLP方法鉴别及遗传多样性分析

为了明确大猿叶虫Colaphellus bowringi Baly的遗传多样性水平及探索其种群快速鉴定的方法, 利用 7种限制性内切酶对其4个地理种群（江西龙南、江西修水、山东泰安、黑龙江哈尔滨）的线粒体COⅠ基因进行PCR-RFLP分析。结果表明: 利用AseⅠ, MboⅠ, NlaⅢ和RsaⅠ在大猿叶虫4个地理种群中均没检测到多态性; 利用AluⅠ和DraⅠ只检测到种群间的多态性; 利用HaeⅢ既检测到了种群间的多态性, 又在山东种群中检测到种群内多态性。根据酶切图谱, 共发现4种单倍型, 单倍型的特异性可以作为种群鉴别的标志。根据限制性片段共享度, 利用POPGEN 3.2计算4个种群的遗传距离, 并利用MEGA3.1进行聚类分析, 结果显示,大猿叶虫4个地理种群间的遗传距离大小与其相对地理距离的远近不相符, 其遗传变异程度与其滞育的特征也不相符。据此认为线粒体COⅠ基因的PCR-RFLP分析可以用于大猿叶虫不同地理种群的识别。     

基于线粒体DNA控制区的斑翅草螽不同地理种群遗传分化研究

采用PCR扩增结合DNA克隆测序技术,分析了斑翅草螽Conocephalus maculates 9个地理种群mtDNA控制区序列的变异及遗传多样性。切除侧翼RNA基因序列后,最终获得的斑翅草螽mtDNA控制区比对后全长为676 bp,平均碱基组成T(37.8%),C(11.7%),A(41.3%)和G(9.1%)。共检测到98个可变位点,占总位点数的14.5%,其中,9处碱基插入/缺失,74处转换(40个T/C,34个A/G),50处颠换(18个A/T,11个T/G,15个A/C,6个C/G)。共定义46个单倍型,其中,4个为种群间共享单倍型(H02、H05、H08和H10),其余42个为各种群独有单倍型,包括6个种群内共享单倍型(H09、H11、H15、H18、H26和H38)。单倍型总数占实验个体总数的69.7%,除四川峨眉山外,其余种群单倍型百分比均﹥50%。通过两两地理种群间的FST值差异显著性检验,将这些群体分为4组,分别为SC+CQ,GX+FLB+HN+YN,XZ和HB。以长瓣草螽C.gladiatus、峨眉草螽C.emeiensis、悦鸣草螽C.melaenus、竹草螽C.bambusanus为外群,构建的斑翅草螽mtDNA控制区单倍型NJ法系统树形成3个自举支持度较高的分支,其中,分支A由28种单倍体组成,包括本研究中除四川峨眉山(SC)和重庆万州(CQ)以外的7个种群;分支B由12种单倍体组成,包含除菲律宾拉乌尼翁(FLB)和江西南昌(JX)以外的7个种群;分支C由6种单倍型组成,全部来自西藏林芝(XZ)的单倍型。聚类结果表明,斑翅草螽不同地理种群间的遗传分化并不明显,即使是两两群体间FST值差异显著的群体,也未能形成完全独立的分支。     

陕西省林麝mtDNA D-loop区序列结构和种群遗传多样性

林麝(Moschus berezovskii)曾广泛分布于中国,由于盗猎和栖息地缩小,秦岭地区野生种群数量迅速下降,圈养繁殖种群已成立了几十年,但大多数圈养种群的遗传背景不清,种群规模增长非常缓慢。为了给这一物种的保护和管理提供有用的信息,调查了陕西省林麝1个圈养种群3个野生种群线粒体DNA(mt DNA)D-Loop 632 bp片段的遗传多样性和种群结构。在69个个体中其碱基组成为A+T的平均含量63.2%高于G+C含量36.8%,共检测到变异位点171个(约占总位点数的27.05%)。核苷酸多样性(Pi)为0.04424,平均核苷酸差异数(K)为19.908。69个个体分属32个单倍型,单倍型间的平均遗传距离(P)为0.070。32个单倍型构建的NJ系统树聚为3个分支,4个林麝群体中的单倍型是随机分布的。4个群体的平均遗传距离为0.043(标准误SE为0.005),凤县养殖场群体与留坝和陇县群体的亲缘关系较远。单倍型间的平均遗传距离为0.043,可见其遗传分化尚未达到种群分化的水平。结果表明,陕西省林麝群体mt DNA D-loop区序列存在着较丰富的变异和遗传多样性,凤县野生群体和凤县养殖场群体的核苷酸多样性和单倍型多样较高,养殖场种群没有出现近亲繁殖及遗传多样性下降的情况。凤县野生群体和凤县养殖场群体两者遗传分化较小,存在着较高的基因流水平。

陕西省异色瓢虫种群遗传结构及其多样性

异色瓢虫是一种重要的天敌昆虫,广泛应用于农业生物防治中.本研究以线粒体COII基因作为分子标记,对陕西省分布的异色瓢虫不同地理种群的遗传结构及遗传多样性进行分析,并探讨不同种群间的遗传分化程度及基因交流水平.结果表明: 在21个种群529头异色瓢虫供试样本的COII序列中,共检测到15种单倍型(Hap1～Hap15),其中Hap1和Hap2所占比例最高,分别占总群体的34.4%和37.6%.总群体单倍型多样性指数为0.732,各种群内单倍型多样性范围在0.652～0.786.种群间总基因流为10.13,总群体遗传分化指数为0.024,说明种群间整体遗传分化程度较低.陕西异色瓢虫种群在进化上呈现中性模型,群体大小保持相对稳定,种群间的遗传分化主要来自种群内部.基于Nei遗传距离构建的种群系统发育树,陕南区域种群与陕北和关中区域种群分化明显.种群间遗传分化与地理距离之间存在一定的相关性,并且区域种群的遗传结构与遗传多样性也表现出一定的地理分布模式,推测秦岭的阻隔及南北气候的差异,使陕北、关中与陕南种群间的基因交流存在阻力,导致南北种群间遗传结构和遗传多样性存在差异.     

山东省二点委夜蛾不同地理种群遗传结构

二点委夜蛾是近年来在我国黄淮海夏玉米区暴发为害的一种玉米新害虫.为了系统揭示二点委夜蛾种群在山东省的扩散途径与发生规律,本研究利用线粒体细胞色素氧化酶亚基I(mtCOI)基因对山东省12个地市的二点委夜蛾种群以及威海1个二点委夜蛾形态近似种种群进行遗传结构分析.结果表明： 130条二点委夜蛾mtCOI基因(608 bp)共有24个单倍型,7条二点委夜蛾形态近似种的mtCOI基因共有2个单倍型.单倍型网络图与系统发育树显示,威海地区二点委夜蛾形态近似种与其他种群分为2大组,它们之间存在着显著遗传分化,遗传距离为0.044～0.054.AMOVA分析表明,山东省二点委夜蛾种群遗传变异主要来自组间,该地区二点委夜蛾并没有经历过种群扩张.该研究为此害虫的预测预报及防治提供了科学依据.     

Indigenous domestic breeds as reservoirs of genetic diversity: the Argentinean Creole cattle

Contrary to highly selected commercial breeds, indigenous domestic breeds are composed of semi-wild or feral populations subjected to reduced levels of artificial selection. As a consequence, many of these breeds have become locally adapted to a wide range of environments, showing high levels of phenotypic variability and increased fitness under natural conditions. Genetic analyses of three loci associated with milk production (alpha(S1)-casein, kappa-casein and prolactin) and the locus BoLA-DRB3 of the major histocompatibility complex indicated that the Argentinean Creole cattle (ACC), an indigenous breed from South America, maintains high levels of genetic diversity and population structure. In contrast to the commercial Holstein breed, the ACC showed considerable variation in heterozygosity (H(e)) and allelic diversity (A) across populations. As expected, bi-allelic markers showed extensive variation in He whereas the highly polymorphic BoLA-DRB3 showed substantial variation in A, with individual populations having 39-74% of the total number of alleles characterized for the breed. An analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) of nine populations throughout the distribution range of the ACC revealed that 91.9-94.7% of the total observed variance was explained by differences within populations whereas 5.3-8.1% was the result of differences among populations. In addition, the ACC breed consistently showed higher levels of genetic differentiation among populations than Holstein. Results from this study emphasize the importance of population genetic structure within domestic breeds as an essential component of genetic diversity and suggest that indigenous breeds may be considered important reservoirs of genetic diversity for commercial domestic species.     

Mitochondrial DNA Diversity of the Asian Moon Scallop, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Amusium pleuronectes</Emphasis> (Pectinidae), in Thailand

Sequence variation of the mitochondrial DNA 16S rRNA region of the Asian moon scallop, Amusium pleuronectes, was surveyed in seven populations along the coast of Thailand. A total of 16 unique haplotypes were detected among 174 individuals with a total 27 variable sites out of 534 bp sequenced. The mitochondrial haplotypes grouped into two distinct arrays (estimated to differ by about 2.62% to 2.99% nucleotide divergence) that characterized samples collected from the Gulf of Thailand versus the Andaman Sea. Low levels of intrapopulation variation were observed, while in contrast, significant divergence was observed between populations from the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea. Results of AMOVA reveal a high F _ST value (0.765) and showed that the majority of the total genetic variance (76.03%) occurred among groups (i.e., Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand) and little among populations within the group (0.52%) and within populations (23.45%). The genetic differentiation between the populations recorded in the present study is similar to that observed in a variety of marine species in the Indo-Pacific. The implications of the findings for management of A. pleuronectes genetic resources in Thailand are discussed.     

Polymorphism of Y-Chromosomal Microsatellites in Russian Populations from the Northern and Southern Russia as Exemplified by the Populations of Kursk and Arkhangelsk Oblast

Allelic polymorphisms at five Y-chromosomal microsatellite loci (DYS19, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, and DYS393) were typed in 87 individuals from male population samples from two geographically isolated regions (Arkhangelsk oblast and Kursk oblast) of the European part of Russia. The populations examined demonstrated substantial differences in the distribution of the DYS392 (P = 0.005) and DYS393 (P = 0.003) alleles. Estimates of genetic relationships between these populations and some other European populations (including Eastern-Slavic) showed that irrespectively of the measure of genetic distance chosen, Arkhangelsk population was closer to the populations belonging to the Finno-Ugric linguistic group (Saami and Estonians) and to the Estonian geographical neighbors, Latvians, while Kursk population was the member of a cluster formed by Eastern-Slavic populations (Russians of Novgorod oblast, Ukrainians, and Belarussians). Phylogenetic analysis of the most frequent haplotypes indicated that these differences between Kursk and Arkhangelsk populations were associated with high prevalence in the latter of major haplotypes characteristic primarily of the Finno-Ugric populations.__________Translated from Genetika, Vol. 41, No. 8, 2005, pp. 1125–1131.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Khrunin, Bebyakova, Ivanov, Solodilova, Limborska.     

Mitochondrial DNA diversity of Coilia mystus (Clupeiformes: Engraulidae) in three Chinese estuaries

We used sequences of mitochondrial cytb and 16SrRNA gene segments in order to clarify the genetic diversity and population structure in three Chinese estuary populations of Coilia mystus: 21 individuals from ChangJiang River (Yangtze River) estuary, 22 from MinJiang River estuary, and 22 from ZhuJiang River (Pearl River) estuary (65 individuals total). We obtained 607 base pairs of consensus cytb sequence. Thirty four distinct haplotypes were detected among the 65 cytb sequences. The indexes of nucleotide diversity (π) in these three populations were ChangJiang 0.533%, MinJiang 1.135%, and ZhuJiang 0.268%. MinJiang is the largest of the three populations. Genetic distances within the populations were between 0.3 and 1.2%, and 0.8 to 10.8% among populations. The largest genetic distance was 10.8% between the ChangJiang and ZhuJiang populations, and the smallest was 0.8% between MinJiang and ZhuJiang populations. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) analysis revealed that variation among populations accounts for 90.25% of total variation, suggesting that this is the main source of total variance. We obtained 470 base pairs of consensus sequence of 16SrRNA. We detected 19 distinct haplotypes among the 65 sequences. The indexes of nucleotide diversity (π) in these three populations were ChangJiang 0.108%, MinJiang 0.843%, and ZhuJiang 0.097%. MinJiang is also the largest among these three populations. Genetic distances were between 0.1 and 0.9% within populations and 0.5 to 1.9% between populations. The largest genetic distance was the 1.9% between the ChangJiang and MinJiang populations, and the smallest was 0.5% between the MinJiang and the ZhuJiang populations. AMOVA analysis disclosed that variation among populations accounts for 74.61% of total variation, suggesting that this is the main source of total variation. The results of this study suggest that the three Coilia mystus populations, especially the most isolated Changjiang population, have developed significant genetic structure.     

Molecular Phylogeny and Genetic Divergence of the Introduced Populations of Japanese Guppies, Poecilia reticulata

A phylogenetic tree of guppies from seven introduced Japanese populations was constructed using a mitochondrial gene, and the relationship between these Japanese populations and indigenous South American populations was examined. Phylogenetic trees constructed by maximum parsimony and neighbor joining methods indicated four major groups: Group A: Trinidadian populations; Group B: the northernmost Okinawa populations; Group C: the northern Okinawa populations; Group D: Shimoda populations and the remainder of Trinidadian, Venezuelan, and southern Okinawa populations. Considerable genetic differences were observed among the haplotypes within each Okinawa population similar to that found among haplotypes of different native populations, but not within the Shimoda population, because each Okinawa population included haplotypes belonging to different groups. Genetic differences between Groups B, C, and D might reflect those of the introduced lineages; however, these differences might not result from the divergence after introduction events. These results suggested that multiple introductions of different breeding lineages might cause considerable divergence within and between Okinawa populations.     

中国近海银鲳线粒体COⅠ基因序列变异分析

对采自黄海、东海和南海的7个银鲳群体的线粒体COⅠ基因序列变异进行分析,研究银鲳的遗传多样性、遗传结构和群体历史动态。在所分析的111个个体中检测到16个单倍型。7个群体呈现出高的单倍型多样性（h=0.564～0.688） 和低的核苷酸多样性（π=0.001～0.003）。单倍型遗传学关系、两两群体间的F_ST值和分子方差分析均表明中国近海7个银鲳群体间的遗传分化不显著。中性检验和核苷酸不配对分析均表明中国近海银鲳经历了晚更新世的群体扩张事件,扩张时间约为6.0×10⁴～1.04×10⁵ 年前。研究结果表明,银鲳的卵和幼体具有较强的扩散能力、中国近海的海洋环流以及近期的群体扩张可能是造成中国近海银鲳群体在线粒体COⅠ基因序列上存在较高的遗传同质性的原因。     

Comparison of Y-STR polymorphisms in three different Slovak population groups

Eleven Y-chromosomal microsatellite loci included in the Powerplex Y multiplex kit were analyzed in different Slovak population samples: Habans (n = 39), Romanies (n = 100) and Slovak Caucasian (n = 148) individuals, respectively, from different regions of Slovakia. The analysis of molecular variance between populations indicated that 89.27% of the haplotypic variations were found within populations and only 10.72% between populations (Fst = 0.1027; p = 0.0000). The haplotype diversities were ranging from 0.9258 to 0.9978, and indicated a high potential for differentiating between male individuals. The study reports differences in allele frequencies between the Romanies, Habans and Slovak Caucasian men. Selected loci showed that both the Romany and Haban population belonged to endogamous and relatively small founder population groups, which developed in relatively reproductive isolated groups surrounded by the Slovak Caucasian population.
