微卫星标记对牙鲆有丝分裂雌核发育家系的亲子鉴定

利用18个微卫星标记,对6个家系的26尾有丝分裂雌核发育牙鲆进行亲子鉴定,PCR扩增产物经8％非变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳检测,结果表明：1个座位在母本中表现为相同的基因型,视为单态座位,其他17个座位为多态;多态座位在亲子鉴定中的累计排除概率和累计个体识别概率分别为0.9985、0.9999;根据被测个体在17个微卫星座位的基因型,最后确认26尾子代的母本,其中7尾子代在某些座位表现出与其母本不完全匹配的基因型。利用微卫星标记可确定雌核发育后代的亲子关系,从而构建牙鲆雌核发育家系系谱,对牙鲆雌核发育的深入研究具有重要意义。

基于微卫星多重PCR技术的黄喉拟水龟亲子鉴定

利用黄喉拟水龟(Mauremys mutica)微卫星标记,筛选出16对微卫星引物,通过优化各引物比例、荧光接头浓度、退火温度和循环次数,建立了基于2组各含8个微卫星位点多重PCR体系的黄喉拟水龟亲子鉴定技术。应用2组微卫星多重PCR体系,通过ABI3130遗传分析仪以及cervus3.0软件对428只黄喉拟水龟进行了个体基因型检测和遗传多样性分析,结果显示,群体的平均等位基因数为14.190,平均多态信息含量为0.748,平均观测杂合度和期望杂合度分别为0.687、0.771。对89只候选母本及296只子代进行亲子鉴定分析,结果显示:在父本信息未知时,母本鉴定率为87%;母本获得的子代个数范围为1-12,个体间表现出巨大的差异,这为选择育种提供了物质基础。黄喉拟水龟多重PCR亲子鉴定技术的建立为群体遗传多样性分析、家系鉴定管理和选择育种提供了有效的技术手段。       

微卫星评价牙鲆雌核发育二倍体纯合性

采用8个微卫星座位分别对牙鲆减数雌核发育二倍体家系和卵裂雌核发育二倍体家系的纯合性进行检验。卵裂雌核发育二倍体在所有检测座位全部纯合。减数雌核发育二倍体在部分座位发生纯合,但未发现在所有座位全部纯合的个体,在Poli9TUF、Poli9-8TUF、Poli11TUF、Poli13TUF、Poli23TUF、Poli30TUF、Poli123TUF和Poli130TUF座位,杂合子比例分别为1·0000、1·0000、0·1944、0·9459、0·8611、1·0000、0·7778和0·8000,平均杂合子比例为0·8224。由此表明,牙鲆除了Poli11TUF外,在其余7个座位均具有很高的重组率。研究结果显示,牙鲆卵裂雌核发育二倍体一代即可形成纯合子;而减数雌核发育二倍体由于具有较高的重组率,使其与母本的遗传同质性较高。     

应用微卫星标记分析野生中国明对虾的亲权关系

利用5个高度多态性的微卫星座位(Fc04、Fc06、Fc18、Fc24、Fc27),分析了不同年份中建立的10个野生中国明对虾家系中的雌性亲虾及其后代基因型分离的情况,表明每个家系中只有一个雄性野生中国明对虾对子代的遗传有贡献.从其中3个家系的雌性亲虾纳精囊中提取了雄虾精子DNA,微卫星标记显示各家系的子代个体均有一个等位基因与雄性亲虾的基因型相符,且符合孟德尔遗传规律,这为野生中国明对虾雌虾在繁殖季节一对一的繁殖行为提供了遗传学的证据.用UPMGA的方法随机对3个家系的40尾子代个体进行聚类分析,每个家系都能被单独聚成一类.上述工作表明微卫星标记在对虾育种中作为一种有效的亲子关系分析工具,在种群的遗传结构、亲缘关系、繁殖行为等方面具有广阔的应用前景.     

锦鲤4个人工雌核发育家系的微卫星标记研究

利用Crooijmans et al.(1997)分离的包含CA重复单元的普通鲤鱼（Cyprinus carpio L.)的8个微卫星DNA标记,对从锦鲤（Cyprinus carpio L.)的红白,大正和昭和3个不同品系中所获得的4个不同人工雌核发育家系的20尾个体进行PCR扩增。电泳结果表明,8对引物在20尾个体中均能重复稳定地扩增出相应的同源序列。随引物不同,各等位基因数为1－11个,大小在68－264bp。在MFW4,MFW7,MFW19,MFW20,MFW23和MFW24 6个微卫星的扩增结果中,20尾个体的扩增图谱呈现了高度的遗传多态性,不同雌核发育家系内个体的遗传异质性也较大。其中大正（TaS)和红白1（RW1）的个体不仅花色分化显著,而且个体间的平均遗传距离分别高达0．28。通过对微卫星等位基因和基因型分析发现,由于锦鲤品系中的每一个体是通过不断地杂交选育而获得,基因组来源复杂,基因高度杂合。因此,只进行1代的人工雌核发育,其家系内仅部分个体的部分座位出现纯合。所获得的人工雌核发育锦鲤为后续的色素遗传调控机制研究提供了必要的实验材料;同时,所鉴定的微卫星分子标记为进行锦鲤的分子标记育种的基因组作图提供了理想的工具。     

牙鲆CA/GT微卫星标记的筛选

采用生物素选择杂交法与放射性同位素杂交法相结合的技术,成功地从牙鲆(Paralichthys olivaceus)基因组中分离出含有CA/GT重复类型的微卫星序列。通过两轮淘选,共获得526个阳性菌落。测序其中的119个菌落,结果获得133个含有微卫星座位的序列。除了两个复合型微卫星外(1.5%),完美型63个(47.37%),非完美型68个(51.13%)。设计并合成22对微卫星引物,对8个人工雌核发育家系的亲本进行遗传背景分析。PCR结果表明,4对引物无扩增带或者扩增带不是目的条带,1对引物表现为单态,其余17对引物均呈多态性,平均每个座位产生5.2个复等位基因,杂合度为0.375～0.846,多态信息含量为0.305～0.823。结果表明,所筛选的大部分微卫星标记能够用于牙鲆群体遗传学研究。     

凡纳滨对虾微卫星位点在两个选育家系中遗传的初步研究

利用两个选育凡纳滨对虾全同胞家系研究了10个微卫星位点的遗传特征。通过ABI310或3100测序仪检测, 在所观察到的20个基因型比例（genotypic ratios）(10个微卫星位点 X 2个家系)中,有17个基因型比例符合孟德尔遗传。微卫星位点TUMXLv8.220在两个家系中均存在无效等位基因,从而3个不符合孟德尔遗传基因型中2个可由无效等位基因来解释。TUMXLv 3.1在06家系偏离了1：1：1：1的孟德尔预期比。3个微卫星位点（TUMXLv5.66,TUMXLv7.74,TUMXLv8.224）在两个家系中均表现单态。3个微卫星位点（TUMXLv5.45,TUMXLv7.56,TUMXLv8.256）在两个家系均既表现多态又遵循孟德尔共显性遗传, 是亲子鉴定和种群遗传分析的较好选择。结果显示在应用微卫星标记进行遗传分析之前利用全同胞家系进行遗传模式研究是非常必要的。     

建鲤(Cyprinus carpio var. Jian)微卫星DNA亲权鉴定

利用16个微卫星座位对建鲤10个全同胞家系647个子代进行亲权鉴定。Cervus3.0分析表明,16个微卫星位点的平均多态信息含量为0.7025,平均等位基因数为6.63,期望杂合度平均为0.7405。当双亲未知时,累积排除概率为0.999225,已知单亲时的累积排除概率为0.999996,置信度为95%。进一步模拟分析表明,要达到亲权鉴定的要求在双亲未知时通常需要8～12个微卫星位点,已知单亲时需要5～8个微卫星位点。在双亲均未知的情况下进行亲权鉴定,94.6%的后裔找到了其父母本,真实鉴定率低于模拟分析预测值,分析可能是与候选亲本间存在亲缘关系、无效等位基因的存在以及分型错误等因素有关。9个建鲤全同胞家系的鉴定,为今后的遗传图谱构建、QTL定位及分子标记辅助育种研究奠定了基础。     

Isolation and characterization of new microsatellite markers from the Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus)

The isolation and characterization of eight polymorphic microsatellite loci from a Japanese flounder partial genomic library are reported. The eight markers isolated in this study were highly polymorphic and their positions on the linkage genome map of the Japanese flounder were determined. Therefore, they are useful for ecological studies of wild populations. These markers are more effective than other markers with no information of chromosomal locations.     

微卫星标记应用于凡那滨对虾家系鉴别的研究

以人工选育建立的凡那滨对虾（Litopenaeus vannamei）全同胞家系为实验材料,探讨了微卫星标记对混养家系进行亲权鉴定的可能性。Cervus模拟分析表明从10个微卫星基因座组合中选取的多态性信息含量最高的6个进行组合与原组合的累积排除概率均在0.99,多态性信息含量最高的6个基因座的组合判定正确率为0.97,置信度为95%。在家系混养的模拟实验中使用这6个高多态性的微卫星基因座从20个候选雌虾中找到真正母亲的概率为88%,从30个候选雄虾中找到真正父亲的概率为78%,低于理论预测值,分析可能与微卫星基因座中的无效等位基因,等位基因的突变以及PCR过程中Taq酶发生链滑移等因素有关。      

东北虎微卫星DNA遗传标记的筛选及在亲子鉴定中的应用

利用18个家猫微卫星基因座，在东北虎(Panthera tigris sibilia)DNA中扩增结果有4个基因座没有产物，8个基因座为单态，6个基因座为多态性。同时利用苏门答腊虎的微卫星序列设计了8对引物，在东北虎DNA中有4对具有多态性。微卫星基因座的多态性百分率为38．5％。在供试的27只东北虎中，发现等位基因间的变异均为偶数碱基长度变化，对有准确谱系记录的个体研究表明，这10个微卫星DNA遗传标记符合孟德尔遗传规律，所以这些微卫星DNA可以有效的应用于东北虎的亲子鉴定。利用这10对多态性引物，我们成功地鉴定了7个父子关系不清的后代。收集的样品包括23只毛发样品和4只血液样品，实验结果表明，毛发和血液样品均可以得到清晰的微卫星条带[动物学报49(1)：118—123．2003]。     

Variation in multiple paternity and sperm utilization patterns in natural populations of a simultaneous hermaphrodite land snail

Mating frequency has important implications for patterns of sexual selection and sexual conflict, and hence for issues such as the maintenance of genetic diversity and speciation. We assessed the level of multiple paternity and sperm utilization patterns in four natural populations of the simultaneous hermaphrodite land snail Arianta arbustorum using four polymorphic microsatellite loci. A total of 1088 offspring from 26 wild‐caught snails were genotyped to determine the number of fathers siring each brood and paternity skew in succeeding clutches. Multiple paternity was detected in the offspring of all 26 mother snails examined with the contribution of two to six fathers. The four populations examined differed in the level of multiple paternity. Snails in the population with the highest density of adults showed the highest level of multiple paternity, whereas snails in the population with the lowest density exhibited the lowest value of multiple paternity. Highly skewed paternity patterns were found in the progeny of 15 (57.7%) of the 26 mother snails. The number and identity of fathers siring the offspring of single mothers also varied among successive clutches. Furthermore, genetic analyses indicate a low level of self‐fertilization in one of the four populations. © 2010 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 99 , 350–361.     

Choice of microsatellite markers for identifying homozygosity of mitotic gynogenetic diploids in Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus

A set of 72 microsatellite markers distributed evenly among 24 linkage groups were selected from the published genetic linkage maps of Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. In two normal diploid full‐sib families, the test for Mendelian inheritance showed that genotypic segregation deviations were not significant at all analysed loci. To estimate microsatellite‐centromere map distances, four meiotic gynogenetic diploid lines were produced by the activation of eggs using UV irradiated sperm of red seabream Pagrus major and cold‐shock treatment to block the extrusion of the second polar body. Under the assumption of complete interference, 21 markers were located in the centromeric region, 39 in the telomeric region and the rest in the intermediate region of linkage groups. A total of 192 mitotic gynogenetic diploids from one spawn were identified by these markers. Genotype analysis showed that the number of homozygous individuals decreased as microsatellite‐centromere map distance increased on each linkage group.     

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci from a dinucleotide-enriched genomic library of starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus) and cross-species amplification

Starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus) is a rare fish species in China. Here, we reported 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci isolated from a dinucleotide-enriched genomic library of starry flounder (P. stellatus). The number of alleles, observed and expected heterozygosity per locus in 30 individuals ranged from two to six, from 0.2500 to 1.0000 and from 0.4512 to 0.7667, respectively. One locus significantly deviated from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium after Bonferroni correction and no significant linkage disequilibrium between pairs of loci was found. Cross-species amplification of these microsatellite loci in additional three fish species was performed. These polymorphic microsatellite loci would be useful for investigating genetic population structure and construction of genetic linkage map in P. stellatus. Guidong Miao and Changwei Shao have contributed equally.     

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in Acer opalus (Aceraceae), a sexually-polymorphic tree, through an enriched genomic library

An enrichment protocol was used to isolate and characterize microsatellite loci in Acer opalus, a Mediterranean tree species. Highly polymorphic microsatellite loci were required for paternity analyses in a population of this species. Eight microsatellite loci were amplified and a total of 87 alleles were detected in a sample of 142 individuals from one population, allowing the identification of each individual with a unique multilocus genotype. The paternity exclusion probabilities varied from 0.261 for locus Aop820 to 0.806 for locus Aop450, and the parent-pair exclusion probabilities varied from 0.433 for Aop820 to 0.940 for Aop450. The cumulative probabilities of exclusion for paternity and parentage of the eight loci were both higher than 0.999, supporting the usefulness of these microsatellite loci for future paternity and parentage analyses in A. opalus. Cross-species transferability was also assayed, supporting their potential use in other eight Acer species.     

Eighteen novel polymorphic microsatellite loci developed from the Père David’s deer (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Elaphurus davidianus</Emphasis>)

Père David’s deer is a severely bottlenecked species but without showing inbreeding depression, making it essential to develop molecular markers to explore her genetic mechanism of population recovery. In this study, we isolated 18 novel polymorphic microsatellite loci from a dinucleotide-enriched library. This suit of markers presented 2–3 alleles for each locus and their observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.057–0.610 and 0.056–0.598, respectively. These new microsatellite loci had an average of 2.12 alleles and thus contributed to relatively low exclusion probabilities of parentage and paternity testing (0.768 and 0.921). However, when these loci were examined in combination with previous microsatellite markers, overall probabilities of parentage and paternity exclusion went up to 0.905 and 0.990, respectively, showing that these 26 microsatellite loci should be adopted together in future genetic analyses for this highly inbred species.     

Gene-centromere mapping in Xenopus laevis

Gynogenesis was used to map eight loci to their centromeres in Xenopus laevis. Several loci remote from their centromeres were identified. This information may be useful in distinguishing gynogenetic diploid progeny produced by suppression of second polar bodies from gynogenetic diploid progeny homozygous at all loci produced by suppression of first cleavage of gynogenetic haploids.     

Microsatellite markers for the drought-resistant earthworm Hormogaster elisae

We developed and characterized 10 highly polymorphic microsatellite loci from a simple sequence repeat-enriched genomic DNA library of the earthworm Hormogaster elisae. Characterization of these loci using 26 individuals revealed eight to 25 alleles per locus and high levels of heterozygosity. These loci will be used for paternity analysis and population genetic studies.
