Quantitative genetic variance associated with chromosomal markers in segregating populations

Summary Use of chromosomal markers can accelerate genetic progress for quantitative traits in pedigree selection programs by providing early information on Mendelian segregation effects for individual progeny. Potential effectiveness of selection using markers is determined by the amount of additive genetic variance traced from parents to progeny by the markers. Theoretical equations for the amount of additive genetic variance associated with a marker were derived at the individual level and for a segregating population in joint linkage equilibrium. Factors considered were the number of quantitative trait loci linked to the marker, their individual effects, and recombination rates with the marker. Subsequently, the expected amount of genetic variance associated with a marker in a segregating population was derived. In pedigree selection programs in segregating populations, a considerable fraction of the genetic variance on a chromosome is expected to be associated with a marker located on that chromosome. For an average chromosome in the bovine, this fraction is approximately 40% of the Mendelian segregation variance contributed by the chromosome. The effects of interference and position of the marker on this expectation are relative small. Length of the chromosome has a large effect on the expected variance. Effectiveness of MAS is, however, greatly reduced by lack of polymorphism at the marker and inaccuracy of estimation of chromosome substitution effects. The size of the expected amount of genetic variance associated with a chromosomal marker indicates that, even when the marker is not the active locus, large chromosome substitution effects are not uncommon in segregating populations.

Utility and efficiency of linked marker genes for genetic counseling. II. Identification of linkage phase by offspring phenotypes

For a linked marker locus to be useful for genetic counseling, the counselee must be heterozygous for both disease and marker loci and his or her linkage phase must be known. It is shown that when the phenotypes of the counselee's previous children for the disease and marker loci are known, the linkage phase can often be inferred with a high probability, and thus it is possible to conduct genetic counseling. To evaluate the utility of linked marker genes for genetic counseling, the accuracy of prediction of the risk for a prospective child with a given marker gene to develop the genetic disease and the proportion of families in which a particular marker locus can be used for genetic counseling are studied for X-linked recessive, autosomal dominant, and autosomal recessive diseases. In the case of X-linked genetic diseases, information from children is very useful for determining the linkage phase of the counselee and predicting the genetic disease. In the case of autosomal dominant diseases, not all children are informative, but if the number of children is large, the phenotypes of children are often more informative than the information from grandparents. In the case of autosomal recessive diseases, information from grandparents is usually useless, since they show a normal phenotype for the disease locus. If we use information on the phenotypes of children, however, the linkage phase of the counselee and the risk of a prospective child can be inferred with a high probability. The proportion of informative families depends on the dominance relationship and frequencies of marker alleles, and the number of children. In general, codominant markers are more useful than are dominant markers, and a locus with high heterozygosity is more useful than is a locus with low heterozygosity.

Comparative analyses of genetic diversities within tomato and pepper collections detected by retrotransposon-based SSAP, AFLP and SSR

The retrotransposon-based sequence-specific amplification polymorphism (SSAP) marker system was used to assess the genetic diversities of collections of tomato and pepper industrial lines. The utility of SSAP markers was compared to that of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. On the basis of our results, SSAP is most informative of the three systems for studying genetic diversity in tomato and pepper, with a significant correlation of genetic relationships between different SSAP datasets and between SSAP, AFLP and SSR markers. SSAP showed about four- to ninefold more diversity than AFLP and had the highest number of polymorphic bands per assay ratio and the highest marker index. For tomato, SSAP is more suitable for inferring overall genetic variation and relationships, while SSR has the ability to detect specific genetic relationships. All three marker results for pepper showed general agreement with pepper types. Additionally, retrotransposon sequences isolated from one species can be used in related Solanaceae genera. These results suggest that different marker systems are suited for studying genetic diversity in different contexts depending on the group studied, where discordance between different marker systems can be very informative for understanding genetic relationships within the study group.     

A Bayesian approach for constructing genetic maps when markers are miscoded

The advent of molecular markers has created opportunities for a better understanding of quantitative inheritance and for developing novel strategies for genetic improvement of agricultural species, using information on quantitative trait loci (QTL). A QTL analysis relies on accurate genetic marker maps. At present, most statistical methods used for map construction ignore the fact that molecular data may be read with error. Often, however, there is ambiguity about some marker genotypes. A Bayesian MCMC approach for inferences about a genetic marker map when random miscoding of genotypes occurs is presented, and simulated and real data sets are analyzed. The results suggest that unless there is strong reason to believe that genotypes are ascertained without error, the proposed approach provides more reliable inference on the genetic map.     

Novel alleles of the D16S752 polymorphic genetic marker linked to E-cadherin gene--a potential population marker

Seven DNA variants that polymorphic genetic marker D16S752 reveals in Croatian population are reported in this paper. The marker is a GATA tetranucleotide repeat linked to human E-cadherin gene (CDH1). Prior studies involving this marker revealed only four DNA allele variants. The reported DNA variants contribute to the collection of hypervariable DNA polymorphisms data useful in the field of anthropological and population genetic and forensic medicine.     

Estimating genetic diversity across the neutral genome with the use of dense marker maps

Background

With the advent of high throughput DNA typing, dense marker maps have become available to investigate genetic diversity on specific regions of the genome. The aim of this paper was to compare two marker based estimates of the genetic diversity in specific genomic regions lying in between markers: IBD-based genetic diversity and heterozygosity.

Methods

A computer simulated population was set up with individuals containing a single 1-Morgan chromosome and 1665 SNP markers and from this one, an additional population was produced with a lower marker density i.e. 166 SNP markers. For each marker interval based on adjacent markers, the genetic diversity was estimated either by IBD probabilities or heterozygosity. Estimates were compared to each other and to the true genetic diversity. The latter was calculated for a marker in the middle of each marker interval that was not used to estimate genetic diversity.

Results

The simulated population had an average minor allele frequency of 0.28 and an LD (r²) of 0.26, comparable to those of real livestock populations. Genetic diversities estimated by IBD probabilities and by heterozygosity were positively correlated, and correlations with the true genetic diversity were quite similar for the simulated population with a high marker density, both for specific regions (r = 0.19-0.20) and large regions (r = 0.61-0.64) over the genome. For the population with a lower marker density, the correlation with the true genetic diversity turned out to be higher for the IBD-based genetic diversity.

Conclusions

Genetic diversities of ungenotyped regions of the genome (i.e. between markers) estimated by IBD-based methods and heterozygosity give similar results for the simulated population with a high marker density. However, for a population with a lower marker density, the IBD-based method gives a better prediction, since variation and recombination between markers are missed with heterozygosity.
