线粒体DNA作为理想的分子标记已被广泛用于鸟类种群遗传学和进化遗传学的研究,并取得了许多有意义的结果。本文介绍鸟类线粒体DNA的组成、结构特点及多态性的研究,综述近年来有关鸟类分子进化研究的进展情况,对今后的发展进行了初步的探讨。 Abstract:Mitochondrial DNA as a genetic marker has been successfully applied to the study of molecular evolution of birds.The apparently maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA and its fast evolution in primary sequence has made it attractive in population and evolutionary genetics.Mitochondrial DNA of birds displays two characteristics not seen in other vertebrates mtDNA,that is,a novel gene order and the absence of an equivalent to the light-strand replication origin.The research on polymorphism of mtDNA can resolve phylogenies of birds both at lower and higher taxonomic levels.Here we review progress on avian molecular evolution in recent years,and make preliminary studies of the development in this field.  相似文献

In the present study, a strategy was proposed for constructing plant core subsets by clusters based on the combination of continuous data for genotypic values and discrete data for molecular marker InformaUon. A mixed linear model approach was used to predict genotyplc values for eliminating the environment effect. The "mixed genetic distance" was designed to solve the difficult problem of combining continuous and discrete data to construct a core subset by cluster. Four commonly used genetic distances for continuous data (Euclidean distance, standardized Euclidean distance, city block distance, and Mahalanobls distance) were used to assess the validity of the conUnuous data part of the mixed genetic distance; three commonly used genetic distances for discrete data (cosine distance, correlaUon distance, and Jaccard distance) were used to assess the validity of the discrete data part of the mixed genetic distance, A rice germplasm group with eight quantitative traits and information for 60 molecular markers was used to evaluate the validity of the new strategy. The results suggest that the validity of both parts of the mixed geneUc distance are equal to or higher than the common geneUc distance. The core subset constructed on the basis of a combination of data for genotyplc values and molecular marker information was more representative than that constructed on the basis of data from genotypic values or molecular marker informaUon alone. Moreover, the strategy of using combined data was able to treat dominant marker informaUon and could combine any other continuous data and discrete data together to perform cluster to construct a plant core subset.  相似文献

1953年Watson & Crick 对于DNA双螺旋结构模型的提出及对其遗传机理的解释,标志着现代分子生物学的诞生。其后短短50年的时间里,分子生物学在各个学科之间广泛渗透,相互促进,不断深入和发展。在以研究人类的起源和进化为首要任务的人类学领域,由于现代分子生物学理论和方法的应用,诞生了分子人类学这一全新的结合型分支学科,为人类学的发展提供了科学可信的研究方法和具发展前景的研究方向。系统地介绍了分子人类学的发展历史、研究方法及原理;另外,结合分子人类学在古人类学研究中的应用,讨论了关于现代人起源的“非洲起源说”和“多地区连续演化说”。Abstract: Since Watson & Crick put forward the double-helix model of DNA structure and hereditary mechanism in 1953, it is generally accepted that this event marks the birth of modern molecular biology. This new field of biology has experienced a flourishing development in the past 50 years. On one hand, the development of molecular biology has been deeply influencing many relative fields; on the other hand, its own proceeding pace has been accelerated by the reaction from the other fields. Anthropology is one of the fields most deeply impacted by the theory and method of molecular biology. Most importantly, molecular anthropology was born as a result of combination of molecular biology, anthropology as well as paleoanthropology. This new branch provides reliable method and vital direction for paleoanthropology. This paper systematically reviews the history, principle and method of molecular anthropology. Two hypotheses on the origin of modern human, which include “out-of-African theory” and “theory of multiregional evolution” are also discussed for the purpose of showing how molecular anthropology is applied in paleoanthropology.  相似文献

Number matters: control of mammalian mitochondrial DNA copy number   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis is essential for proper cellular functioning. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion and the resulting mitochondrial malfunction have been implicated in cancer, neurodegeneration, diabetes, aging, and many other human diseases. Although it is known that the dynamics of the mammalian mitochondrial genome are not linked with that of the nuclear genome, very little is known about the mechanism of mtDNA propagation. Nevertheless, our understanding of the mode of mtDNA replication has ad- vanced in recent years, though not without some controversies. This review summarizes our current knowledge of mtDNA copy number control in mammalian cells, while focusing on both mtDNA replication and turnover. Although mtDNA copy number is seemingly in excess, we reason that mtDNA copy number control is an important aspect of mitochondrial genetics and biogenesis and is essential for normal cellular function.  相似文献

Amphibians are declining worldwide.At the same time,each year many species of amphibians are described,indicating that biological diversity on Earth remains poorly understood.This is especially true for mountainous regions,such as the Himalayas,which are also regarded as a biodiversity hotspot.However,it is most likely that the current diversity of amphibians in Nepal is highly underestimated.Amphibian inventories by the past researchers primarily used phenotypic characters as the basis for species identification.However,the application of molecular systematics methods to taxonomic studies has successfully uncovered the taxonomic status of several cryptic taxa.This study used both molecular(16 S rDNA sequences)and morphological comparisons and estimated the diversity of amphibians from Nepal.This study reports the occurrence of 38 species of amphibians based on both molecular and morphological comparisons.Among them,three species were recorded for the first time in Nepal.This study also invalids the taxonomic status of Sphaerotheca paschima.This study highlights the importa nce of integrative taxonomic approaches that help to resolve the current taxonomic ambiguities of Nepalese amphibians.  相似文献

线粒体DNA(mtDNA)编码线粒体电子传递系统的亚单位以及构建翻译机器所需的各种rRAN和tRNA。mtDNA编码的每一个亚单位都是线粒体完成正常的氧化磷酸化过程所必需的,因此,线粒体DNA的完整性对于生物体的生存十分重要。长期以来,人们一直认为线粒体中不存在DNA的修复。近年来在线粒体提取物中却检测到了一定数量的修复因子,提示线粒体中存在DNA的修复。主要对线粒体修复系统中相关酶的研究进展进行综述。Abstract: Mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) encodes subunits of the mitochondrial electron transport system and the rRNAs and tRNAs required for constructing the mitochondrial tranlational machinery.Each subunit encoded by mtDNA is essential for normal oxidative phosphorylation.Thus,integrity of the mtDNA is crucial for the survival of organisms.It has long been held that there is no DNA repair in mitochondria.But in recent years,a number of repair factors have been found in mitochondrial extracts,suggesting the presence of DNA repair in mitochondria.This review summarized recent progress of enzyme in mitochondrial DNA repair processes.  相似文献

单核苷酸多态性(single nucleotide polymorphism,SNP)是等位基因间序列差异最为普遍的类型,可作为一种高通量的遗传标记。已建立了PCR扩增目标序列及其产物测序和电子SNP(eSNP)等多种发现和检测SNP的方法。玉米和大豆等作物也已开展了SNP分析。一些栽培作物种质的多样性不断减少,其结果使连锁不平衡(linkage disequilibrium,LD)增加,这有利于目的基因座上SNP单元型(haplotype)与表型的相关性分析。SNP已在作物基因作图及其整合、分子标记辅助育种和功能基因组学等领域展示了广泛的应用价值。 Abstract:Single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) is the most common type of sequence difference between alleles,which can be used as a kind of high-throughput genetic marker.Several different routes have been developed to discover and identify SNP.These include the direct sequencing of PCR amplicons,electronic SNP(eSNP) and so on.SNP assays have been made in many crop species such as maize and soybean.The elite germplasm of some crops have been narrowed in genetic diversity,increasing the amount of linkage disequilibrium(LD) present and facilitating the association of SNP haplotypes at candidate gene loci with phenotypes.SNP analysis has been broadly used in the field of plant gene mapping,integration of genetic and physical maps,DNA marker-assisted breeding and functional genomics.  相似文献

A phylogeny of the genus Oenanthe, constructed using an integrated approach (with regard to characters of external morphology, behavioral ecology, and signal behavior), is compared with three phylogenetic hypotheses based on molecular data. Consideration is given to the problems arising in studies on molecular phylogeny where mtDNA is used as the only marker. Special emphasis is made on the negative consequences for zoological nomenclature that may result from its untimely modification based on the results that need further verification by more adequate research procedures.  相似文献

The review considers the current problems of molecular phylogenetics based on mitochondrial and chromosomal DNA sequences. The emphasis is placed on mtDNA markers, which are widely employed in reconstructing molecular evolution, but often without a critical analysis of the physiological and biochemical features of mitochondria that affect the adequacy and reliability of the results. In addition to the factors that make mtDNA-based phylogenies difficult to interpret (unrecognized hybridization and introgression events, ancestral polymorphism, and nuclear paralogs of mtDNA sequences), attention is paid to the nonneutrality and unequal mutation rates of mtDNA genes and their fragments, violations of uniparental inheritance of mitochondria, recombination events, natural heteroplasmy, and mtDNA haplotypic diversity. These factors may influence the congruence of phylogenetic inferences and trees constructed for the same organisms with different mtDNA markers or with mitochondrial and nuclear markers. The review supports the viewpoint that mitochondrial genes and their fragments fail to provide reliable evolutionary markers when considered without a thorough study of the environmental conditions and life of the taxa. The influence of external conditions on the metabolism and physiology of mitochondria cannot be taken into account in full nor modeled well enough for phylogenetic applications. It is assumed that mtDNA is valuable as a phylogenetic marker primarily because its complete sequence may be analyzed to identify the apomorphic and synmorphic properties of a taxon and to search for informative nuclear paralogs of mtDNA for phylogeographical studies and estimations of relative evolution times.  相似文献

There is substantial debate over the criteria that should be used to group populations of a species into distinct units for conservation (e.g. evolutionarily significant units, management units, distinct population segments). However, in practice molecular genetic differentiation is often the only or main criterion used to identify such units. Most genetic studies attempting to define conservation units in animals use a single molecular marker, most often mitochondrial, and use samples from a limited number of populations throughout the species' range. Although there are many benefits to using mtDNA, certain features can cause it to show patterns of differentiation among populations that do not reflect the history of differentiation at the nuclear genome where loci controlling traits of adaptive significance presumably occur. Here we illustrate an example of such mitochondrial-nuclear discordance in a ranid frog, and show how using mtDNA or nuclear loci alone could have led to very different conservation recommendations. We also found very high genetic differentiation among populations on a local scale, and discuss the conservation implications of our results.  相似文献

Previous studies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in Europe and the Near East have suggested that, in contrast with classical markers and the Y chromosome, mtDNA does not exhibit significant geographical structuring. Here, we show that, with a sufficiently large sample size and a better resolved mtDNA tree, clades of mtDNA do indeed exhibit gradients similar to those of other marker systems. However, the more detailed analyses afforded by molecular sequence data suggest that the explanations for these gradients are likely to be much more complex than those proposed for classical markers.  相似文献

DNA在鸟类分子系统发育研究中的应用   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
马玉堃  牛黎明  国会艳 《遗传》2006,28(1):97-104
鸟类分子系统发育研究中常用的DNA技术有DNA杂交、RFLP和DNA序列分析等。DNA杂交技术曾在鸟类中有过大规模的应用,并由此诞生了一套新的鸟类分类系统。在鸟类的RFLP分析中,用的最多的靶序列是线粒体DNA。DNA序列分析技术被认为是进行分子系统发育研究最有效、最可靠的方法。在DNA序列分析中,线粒体基因应用最广泛,但由于其自身的一些不足,近年来,不少学者把目光投向了核基因,将线粒体基因和核基因结合起来进行系统发育研究。目前在鸟类分子系统发育中,应用较多的核基因是scnDNA,其内含子可以用于中等阶元水平的系统研究,而外显子主要用于高等阶元的系统研究。除了分子标记自身的问题之外,鸟类分子系统发育研究中还存在着方法上的问题,包括分子标记的选择,样本数量以及数据处理等。今后鸟类分子系统发育研究应该更加注重方法的标准化。  相似文献

The D4oop of mtDNA is a noncoding locus actively used as an individualizing marker in molecular genetic research. Uneven distribution of SNPs in the D-loop suggests that the functional load within this region is irregular. The nucleotide sequence analysis was used to evaluate the structural and functional role of various D-loop sites of a single individual’s mtDNA an d their importance in terms of phylogenetic conservatism. The role of duplication of various D-loop elements (TAS, ETAS, CSB elements) in increasing the reliability of the mtDNA replication initiation and termination is discussed.  相似文献

Potato cyst nematodes cost the potato industry substantial financial losses annually. Through the use of molecular markers, the distribution and infestation routes of these nematodes can be better elucidated, permitting the development of more effective preventative methods. Here we assess the ability of three molecular markers to resolve multiple representatives of five Globodera pallida populations as monophyletic groups. Molecular markers included a region of the rbp-1 gene (an effector), a non-coding nuclear DNA region (the ITS region), and a novel marker for G. pallida, a ∼3.4 kb non-coding mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) region. Multiple phylogenetic analysis methods were performed on the three DNA regions separately, and on a data set of these three regions combined. The analyses of the combined data set were similar to that of the sole mtDNA marker; resolving more populations as monophyletic groups, relative to that of the ITS region and rbp-1 gene region. This suggests that individual markers may be inadequate for distinguishing populations of G. pallida. The use of this new non-coding mtDNA marker may provide further insights into the historical distribution of G. pallida, as well as enable the development of more sensitive diagnostic methods.  相似文献

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations, especially deletions, have been suggested to play an important role in aging and degenerative diseases. In particular, the common deletion in humans and rats (4977bp and 4834bp deletion, respectively) has been shown to accumulate with age in post-mitotic tissues with high energetic demands. Among numerous deletions, the common deletion has been proposed to serve as a molecular marker for aging and play a critical role in presbyacusis. However, so far no previous publication has quantified the contribution of common deletion to the total burden of mtDNA deletions in tissues during aging process. In the present study, we established a rat model with various degrees of aging in inner ear induced by three different doses of d-galactose (d-gal) administration. Firstly, multiple mtDNA deletions in inner ear were detected by nested PCR and long range PCR. In addition to the common deletion, three novel mtDNA deletions were identified. All four deletions, located in the major arc of mtDNA, are flanked by direct repeats and involve the cytochrome c oxidase (COX) subunit III gene, encoded by mtDNA. Additionally, absolute quantitative real-time PCR assay was used to detect the level of common deletion and total deletion burden of mtDNA. The quantitative data show that the common deletion is the most frequent type of mtDNA deletions, exceeding 67.86% of the total deletion burden. Finally, increased mtDNA copy number, reduced COX activity and mosaic ultrastructural impairments in inner ear were identified in d-gal-induced aging rats. The increase of mtDNA replication may contribute to the accelerated accumulation of mtDNA deletions, which may result in impairment of mitochondrial function in inner ear. Taken together, these findings suggest that the common deletion may serve as an ideal molecular marker to assess the mtDNA damage in inner ear during aging.  相似文献
