利用微卫星标记分析四川8个地方鸡品种遗传多样性

通过选用30个多态性较好的微卫星标记,检测了四川省8个地方鸡品种：峨嵋黑鸡、泸宁鸡、旧院黑鸡、米易鸡、石棉草科鸡、凉山崖鹰鸡、兴文乌骨鸡、沐川乌骨鸡的遗传多样性。利用等位基因频率计算出各群体的平均遗传杂合度（H）、多态信息含量（PIC）和群体间的DA遗传距离。结果表明：30个微卫星位点中有24个微卫星位点在8个鸡群体中的多态信息含量均为高度多态,可作为有效的遗传标记用于各鸡品种的遗传多样性和系统发生关系的分析。各鸡种的杂合度都较高,平均杂合度范围是0.629~0.681,最高的是泸宁鸡（0.681）,最低的是旧院黑鸡（0.629）。据分析可能是由于交通闭塞,形成了家禽品种的多种多型,而且杂合度的高低与PIC值的大小体现了较高的一致性。对DA遗传距离的计算表明：用UPGMA法进行聚类分析,结果8个鸡品种被聚为3类：Ⅰ类：峨嵋黑鸡、米易鸡、泸宁鸡、旧院黑鸡聚为一类。米易鸡、泸宁鸡先聚在一起,然后又与峨嵋黑鸡在较近的距离聚在一起,然后再与旧院黑鸡聚在一起;Ⅱ类：石棉草科鸡、兴文乌骨鸡、沐川乌骨鸡聚为一类。兴文乌骨鸡、沐川乌骨鸡在较近的距离聚在一起,然后又与石棉草科鸡在较近的距离聚在一起;Ⅲ类：凉山崖鹰鸡独自聚为一类。这与几个鸡品种的来源、分化、选育历史及地理分布是一致的。

利用微卫星标记分析中国地方鸡种的遗传多样性

中国幅员辽阔, 拥有丰富的鸡种遗传资源. 由于中国地方鸡种生产性能相对较低, 很难与国内外家禽公司育成的商业品种竞争, 现存数目较少, 有些已经濒临灭绝. 为了进一步了解中国地方鸡品种的遗传多样性状况, 本研究采集了分布于中国各地的78个地方鸡品种血样, 并利用分布于13条染色体上27个微卫星标记进行分析. 通过对2740个样本的检测分析发现, 在所有27个微卫星座位中, 等位基因数从6~51个不等, 平均值为18.74. 所检测的78个品种的杂合度(H)均在0.5以上, 所有品种的平均杂合度值为0.622, 多态信息含量(PIC)平均值为0.573. 与国外的同类研究相比, 这一结果表明中国的地方鸡品种具有更加广泛的遗传多样性. 在27个微卫星座位中, 总群内亚群的固定系数(F_ST)从0.065(LEI0166)到0.209(MCW0078)不等, 平均值为0.106. 在检测的位点中, 只有LEI0194位点在所有的群体中均偏离了Hardy-Weinberg平衡(HWE), 而其他位点基本上都处于Hardy-Weinberg平衡状态. 由于小群体中的基因漂移及非随机交配, 一些保种场保存的地方品种(如狼山鸡)的杂合度相对较低, 而保种区的品种由于保种群群体较大, 杂合度也就相对较高. 中国地方鸡品种的高杂合度与其表型多样性是一致的. 通过Nei氏遗传距离和邻接法将中国地方鸡种进行聚类, 结果表明, 中国地方鸡品种可以分为六大类, 分类结果与品种的地理分布基本一致. 通过分子生物学手段进行中国地方鸡品种的遗传多样性分析, 将对中国地方鸡品种的利用和保护提供重要的理论依据.

利用微卫星技术分析中国部分地方鸡种的遗传结构

利用7个微卫星标记对鹿苑鸡、固始鸡、藏鸡、白耳鸡、仙居鸡、茶花鸡、大骨鸡、北京油鸡、狼山鸡、河南斗鸡、泰和乌骨鸡和萧山鸡等12个中国地方鸡种的等位基因频率、基因杂合度、平均基因杂合度、多态信息含量以及群体间的亲缘关系进行分析。研究结果表明,12个地方鸡种在7个微卫星座位上的基因频率存在一定的差异;鹿苑鸡的平均基因杂合度最高,为0．5929;茶花鸡的平均遗传杂合度最低,为0．3514。平均多态信息含量也出现了类似的结果,说明鹿苑鸡的遗传多样性最丰富。模糊聚类分析结果表明,12个地方鸡种间,泰和乌骨鸡与河南斗鸡的亲缘关系相对较近,而固始鸡与其他11个地方鸡种的亲缘关系相对较远。12个地方鸡种可以聚为3类：泰和乌骨鸡、河南斗鸡、狼山鸡、大骨鸡、萧山鸡、北京油鸡、鹿苑鸡聚为第1个类群;茶花鸡、藏鸡、仙居鸡、白耳鸡聚为第2类群;固始鸡为第3类群。     

中国7个地方绵羊品遗传多样性的微卫星分析

利用26个微卫星标记分析了中国7个地方绵羊（Ovis aries）品种的遗传多样性。通过计算基因频率,平均杂合度（H）、多态信息含量（PIC）及有效等位基因数（Ne）,并根据Nei氏标准遗传距离,利用UPGMA法进行了聚类分析,评估其种内遗传变异和品种间遗传关系。结果表明：26个微卫星位点共检测到278个等位基因,Ne在2.1288-13.3924之间;26个位点均为高度多态位点,PIC在0.6628-0.8712之间,聚类分析表明哈萨克羊、阿勒泰羊和巴音布鲁克羊遗传关系最近;然后与白藏羊,黑藏羊聚为一类,湖羊和晋中羊聚为一类,各绵羊各种的聚类关系与其来源,育成史及地理分布基本一致。     

利用微卫星标记分析山东地方鸡品种的遗传多样性

微卫星是近几年来应用较多的一种分子标记,可有效地进行基因鉴定与系谱分析,并可估算群体间的遗传距离。通过选用5个微卫星标记,检测了山东省5个地方鸡种：日照麻鸡、寿光鸡、莱芜黑鸡、济宁百日鸡、鲁西斗鸡以及一个外来鸡种——安卡黄鸡和一个外省地方鸡种——广西黄鸡共7个鸡种的遗传多样性。根据测试结果计算了每个等位基因的频率,以基因频率为基础分析了品种内的遗传变异和品种间的DA遗传距离,并讨论了微卫星多态性在应用于群体遗传变异及亲缘关系等方面的意义。结果表明：共检测到40个等位基因,其中等位基因数最多的位点为。ADL0136(10个);等位基因数最低的位点为ADL0146(5个);而且每个位点的等位基因分布并不均匀,都有一种或几种优势基因存在。在7个品种中,杂合度最低的为寿光鸡,杂合度值为0．3327,因为此鸡种多年来一直由寿光市慈伦种鸡场进行纯繁保种,未与其他鸡种杂交,因此杂合度最小;其他鸡种杂合度也都低于0．4,据分析可能是由于日照麻鸡、济宁百日鸡群体较小;莱芜黑鸡是正在选育的一个品种,个体间遗传关系也不远;安卡黄鸡和广西黄鸡自从引人嘉明公司后,群体近交现象普遍,因此各鸡种杂合度都偏低。由此可见,通过对杂合度的计算,微卫星可以较好地反应群体内的变异。各品种PIC值的变动范围从0．6196(寿光鸡)到0．7027(莱芜黑鸡),PIC值的大小与杂合度的高低体现了较高的一致性。对DA遗传距离的计算表明：日照麻鸡与济宁百日鸡的距离最近,而鲁西斗鸡与其他鸡种距离均较远。用UPGMA法进行聚类分析,结果7个鸡种被聚为3类：山东的4个地方鸡种寿光鸡、日照麻鸡、莱芜黑鸡与济宁百日鸡聚为一类;安卡黄鸡和广西黄鸡聚在一起;鲁西斗鸡独自为一类。这与几个鸡种的分化与选育历史是一致的,因此聚类图能够比较正确地反映7个品种之间的亲缘关系。     

利用17个微卫星标记分析鳙鱼的遗传多样性

Genetic diversity of Guangxi chicken breeds assessed with microsatellites and the mitochondrial DNA D-loop region

The domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is an excellent model for genetic studies of phenotypic diversity. The Guangxi Region of China possesses several native chicken breeds displaying a broad range of phenotypes well adapted to the extreme hot-and-wet environments in the region. We thus evaluated the genetic diversity and relationships among six native chicken populations of the Guangxi region and also evaluated two commercial breeds (Arbor Acres and Roman chickens). We analyzed the sequences of the D-loop region of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and 18 microsatellite loci of 280 blood samples from six Guangxi native chicken breeds and from Arbor Acres and Roman chickens, and used the neighbor-joining method to construct the phylogenetic tree of these eight breeds. Our results showed that the genetic diversity of Guangxi native breeds was relatively rich. The phylogenetic tree using the unweighed pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGAM) on microsatellite marks revealed two main clusters. Arbor Acres chicken and Roman chicken were in one cluster, while the Guangxi breeds were in the other cluster. Moreover, the UPGAM tree of Guangxi native breeds based on microsatellite loci was more consistent with the genesis, breeding history, differentiation and location than the mtDNA D-loop region. STRUCTURE analysis further confirmed the genetic structure of Guangxi native breeds in the Neighbor-Net dendrogram. The nomenclature of mtDNA sequence polymorphisms suggests that the Guangxi native chickens are distributed across four clades, but most of them are clustered in two main clades (B and E), with the other haplotypes within the clades A and C. The Guangxi native breeds revealed abundant genetic diversity not only on microsatellite loci but also on mtDNA D-loop region, and contained multiple maternal lineages, including one from China and another from Europe or the Middle East.     

8个亚洲水牛群体的遗传结构分析

Genetic Diversity Among Turkish Native Chickens, Denizli and Gerze, Estimated by Microsatellite Markers

The genetic diversity of the Turkish native chicken breeds Denizli and Gerze was evaluated with 10 microsatellite markers. We genotyped a total of 125 individuals from five subpopulations. Among loci, the mean number of alleles was 7.5, expected heterozygosity (H (e)) was 0.665, PIC value was 0.610, and Wright's fixation index was 0.301. H (e) was higher in the Denizli breed (0.656) than in the Gerze breed (0.475). The PIC values were 0.599 and 0.426 for Denizli and Gerze, respectively. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using genetic distance and the neighbor-joining method. Its topology reflects the general pattern of genetic differentiation among the Denizli and Gerze breeds. The present study suggests that Denizli and Gerze subpopulations have a rich genetic diversity. The information about Denizli and Gerze breeds estimated by microsatellite analysis may also be useful as an initial guide in defining objectives for designing future investigations of genetic variation and developing conservation strategies.     

Evaluation of genetic diversity in Chinese indigenous chicken breeds using microsatellite markers

China is rich in chicken genetic resources, and many indigenous breeds can be found throughout the country. Due to poor productive ability, some of them are threatened by the commercial varieties from domestic and foreign breeding companies. In a large-scale investigation into the current status of Chinese poultry genetic resources, 78 indigenous chicken breeds were surveyed and their blood samples collected. The genomes of these chickens were screened using microsatellite analysis. A total of 2740 individuals were genotyped for 27 microsatellite markers on 13 chromosomes. The number of alleles of the 27 markers ranged from 6 to 51 per locus with a mean of 18.74. Heterozygosity (H) values of the 78 chicken breeds were all more than 0.5. The average H value (0.622) and polymorphism information content (PIC, 0.573) of these breeds suggested that the Chinese indigenous chickens possessed more genetic diversity than that reported in many other countries. The fixation coefficients of subpopulations within the total population (F _ST) for the 27 loci varied from 0.065 (LEI0166) to 0.209 (MCW0078), with a mean of 0.106. For all detected microsatellite loci, only one (LEI0194) deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) across all the populations. As genetic drift or non-random mating can occur in small populations, breeds kept on conservation farms such as Langshan chicken generally had lower H values, while those kept on large populations within conservation regions possessed higher polymorphisms. The high genetic diversity in Chinese indigenous breeds is in agreement with great phenotypic variation of these breeds. Using Nei’s genetic distance and the Neighbor-Joining method, the indigenous Chinese chickens were classified into six categories that were generally consistent with their geographic distributions. The molecular information of genetic diversity will play an important role in conservation, supervision, and utilization of the chicken resources.     

Evaluation of genetic diversity in Chinese indigenous chicken breeds using microsatellite markers

Genetic characterization of Bhutanese native chickens based on an analysis of Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus gallus and Gallus gallus spadecieus), domestic Southeast Asian and commercial chicken lines (Gallus gallus domesticus)

The genetic diversity of Bhutanese chickens needs to be understood in order to develop a suitable conservation strategy for these birds in Bhutan. In this, work, we used microsatellite markers to examine the genetic diversity of Bhutanese chickens. Four Bhutanese chicken varieties (Black plumage, Frizzle, Naked neck and Red Junglefowl-like, corresponding to Yuebjha Narp, Phulom, Khuilay and Seim, respectively), two subspecies of Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus gallus and Gallus gallus spadecieus), two varieties of Thai native chickens (Pradhu Hang Dam and Chee; Gallus gallus domesticus) representing the Southeast Asian domestic chicken, and two commercial lines (Broiler and Single Comb White Leghorn) were genotyped with 18 microsatellites that included 16 loci recommended by the FAO/ISAG for investigations of genetic variability in chickens. All loci were polymorphic, with the number of alleles ranging from six (MCW0111) to 23 (MCW0183). Substantial genetic variation was observed in all populations, with the Bhutanese native chicken Yuebjha Narp (Black plumage chicken) showing the lowest genetic variability. Despite extensive intrapopulation variation, the genetic differentiation among 10 populations was moderate. A neighbor-joining tree revealed the genetic relationships involved while principal component analysis showed that Bhutanese native chickens should be given priority in conservation efforts because of their genetic distinctiveness. Chee chickens are especially valuable as a reservoir of predomestic diversity, as indicated by their greater genetic variation and their position in the phylogenetic tree.     

Genetic diversity and population structure of indigenous yellow cattle breeds of China using 30 microsatellite markers

Twenty-seven domesticated yellow cattle breeds of China and three introduced cattle breeds were analysed by means of 30 microsatellite markers to determine the level of genetic variation within and among populations as well as the population structure. In all, 480 microsatellite alleles were observed across the 30 breeds with the mean number of alleles per locus of 9.093 for native breeds and 6.885 for the three introduced breeds. Mean F -statistics (0.08) for Chinese native cattle breeds implied that 92% of the total genetic variation was from genetic differentiation within each breed and 8% of the genetic variation existed among breeds. A phylogenetic tree was constructed based on Nei's genetic distances, and three clusters were obtained. According to the tree, the three introduced breeds were distinct from the 27 native breeds. The indigenous cattle breeds were divided into two clusters, one cluster including five humpless breeds and the other cluster containing 22 humped breeds. This study identifies multiple origins of yellow cattle of China from Bos taurus and Bos indicus . Furthermore, population structure analysis implies that there are possibly five independent original domestications for yellow cattle in China. Four of five origins were four different Bos indicus types, mainly in areas of the Chang Jiang, the Zhu Jiang River basin, the Yellow River and the Huai River basin. The other origin was for Bos taurus type of Mongolian descent, mainly located in Northwestern China, the Mongolian plateau and Northeastern China or north of the Great Wall.     

Genetic variation and relationships among eight Indian riverine buffalo breeds

Twenty-seven microsatellite loci were used to define genetic variation and relationships among eight Indian riverine buffalo breeds. The total number of alleles ranged from 166 in the Toda breed to 194 each in the Mehsana and the Murrah. Significant departures from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed for 26 locus-breed combinations due to heterozygote deficiency. Breed differentiation was analysed by estimation of F(ST) index (values ranging from 0.75% to 6.00%) for various breed combinations. The neighbour-joining tree constructed from chord distances, multidimensional scaling (MDS) display of F(ST) values and Bayesian clustering approach consistently identified the Toda, Jaffarabadi, and Pandharpuri breeds as one lineage each, and the Bhadawari, Nagpuri, Surati, Mehsana and Murrah breeds as admixture. Analysis of molecular variance refuted the earlier classification of these breeds proposed on the basis of morphological and geographical parameters. The Toda buffaloes, reared by a tribe of the same name, represent an endangered breed from the Nilgiri hills in South India. Divergence time of the Toda buffaloes from the other main breeds, calculated from Nei's standard genetic distances based on genotyping data on seven breeds and 20 microsatellite loci, suggested separation of this breed approximately 1800-2700 years ago. The results of the present study will be useful for development of rational breeding and conservation strategies for Indian buffaloes.
