为验证经处理后的穿山甲(Manis spp.)标本和甲片是否可以用于种间分子鉴定标记的开发及个体识别工作,本文在样品的预处理、消化、提取后纯化等方面对传统提取方法进行了改进,分别从穿山甲剥制标本、干皮标本及甲片中提取总DNA;然后用Cyt b基因扩增通用引物、12S rRNA基因全序列扩增引物、RAPD引物及微卫星引物进行了PCR扩增,并对部分扩增结果进行了序列测定.结果表明,除剥制标本的脚底皮张组织外,其他样品基本都可以提取出DNA.以此为模板的PCR扩增中,2种线粒体基因引物扩增出明显目的条带,RAPD引物扩增出种间特异条带,测序结果可用于种间特异性引物及SCAR引物的开发;微卫星引物在甲片样品中扩增稳定,可用于个体识别工作.     

细胞质雄性不育花椰菜保持系特异分子标记的鉴定及序列分析

以花椰菜细胞质雄性不育系NK-6和相应保持系NK-6B为材料进行RAPD分析,筛选了406条RAPD引物,共获得了2160条清晰可辨的条带,平均每个引物产生5-10条。其中引物S2121在两系的扩增中表现出多态性,在保持系中特异扩增出一条934bp的片段。克隆、测序,根据测序结果设计特异性引物,将RAPD标记转化成特异PCR标记,命名为S2121900。经Southern点杂交分析及对单株和多份候选材料的检测证实该标记为花椰菜保持系所特有,可用于候选保持系的早期筛查。序列分析表明该片段与油菜、拟南芥线粒体上的序列有较高相似性,因此推测该片段亦可能来源于线粒体基因组。本研究为从另一角度解释花椰菜细胞质雄性不育的分子机制提供了新线索。     

中药材蛤蚧的特异性PCR鉴定

以线粒体Cytb、COI、12SrRNA、16SrRNA基因序列为基础,探讨特异性PCR技术鉴定蛤蚧及伪品的可行性。本研究以所扩增的16条COI序列为引物设计依据序列设计了1对位点特异性引物COISF,COISR,同时从Gen-Bank上下载30条序列,设计了CytbSF,CytbSR;16S rRNASF,16S rRNASR;12S rRNASF,12S rRNASR另外3对位点特异性引物,因此共用4对位点特异性引物分别扩增蛤蚧及伪品实验样本。结果表明在复性温度为65℃时,4对引物都出现了理想的结果,即蛤蚧正品出现了扩增条带,而伪品没有扩增条带。同时对市售的蛤蚧商品进行了检测,在所供的7号标本中,有4号为蛤蚧正品,其余3号为蛤蚧伪品。本研究所设计的位点特异性引物可快捷、准确的鉴定蛤蚧及伪品,且在药检工作中具有极大的应用前景。     

中华鲟性别相关的扩增片段长度多态性分子标记筛选

性别鉴定是生产养殖和物种保护中常用的技术。中华鲟Acipenser sinensis是我国特有的一种大型海河洄游性鱼类,已极度濒危。由于中华鲟性成熟时间长,缺乏第二性征,基于外部特征难以进行性别鉴定,因此,筛选中华鲟性别特异性分子标记具有重要意义。利用扩增片段长度多态性(AFLP)分子标记,用10条Eco R I-ANN引物和8条Mse I-CNN引物组成的80对引物,对9尾雄性和15尾雌性中华鲟个体进行PCR扩增和毛细管电泳荧光分型,检测其基因组DNA多态性,寻找与其性别相关的分子标记。在100~500 bp范围,共获得864个位点,其中具有多态性DNA位点411条,多态性位点比例为48.58%,并未发现雌雄特异性位点。但发现33个位点在雌雄个体中的比例存在较大差异,聚类分析显示大部分雄鱼聚为一支,雌鱼聚为一支,从而推断这些位点可能与中华鲟性别具有密切相关性。该研究首次尝试在中华鲟基因组中寻找性别特异性的AFLP分子标记,尽管未找到特异性标记,但这些数据为进一步研究中华鲟性别相关基因和性别决定机制奠定了基础。     

南蛇藤雌性性别相关的RAPD和SCAR标记

南蛇藤(Celastrus orbiculatus Thunb)属卫矛科南蛇藤属落叶藤本植物,是中国传统中药材,雌雄异株,少量雄全同株。由于目前在分子水平上对南蛇藤性别差异的研究较少,极大地限制了对其的开发利用。本研究利用RAPD分子标记对南蛇藤雌株、雄株和雄全同株进行了差异比较。100个引物中有5个引物(S127、S140、S148、S174及S111)在不同性别南蛇藤的基因组DNA中扩增到存在明显差异的条带。根据序列分析的结果将RAPD引物转化成特异性较强的SCAR引物后,仅引物S111扩增出一条雌性特异性条带。序列分析发现,该片段包含两个超过100个氨基酸的开放阅读框,其功能有待进一步的研究。     

半滑舌鳎雌性特异AFLP标记CseF783的克隆及其在遗传性别鉴定中的应用

半滑舌鳎性别控制和全雌育种等研究领域中迫切需要一种能够快速鉴定鱼类个体遗传性别的有效方法。文章采用AFLP技术, 利用选择性引物组合(E-ACT/M-CAA)从半滑舌鳎中筛选到一条雌性特异的AFLP标记。对该标记进行二次PCR扩增、琼脂糖凝胶回收、克隆、测序。分析表明, 序列全长为791 bp, 与GenBank中的序列无同源性。以该雌性特异AFLP标记DNA序列为模板, 设计了一对特异的PCR引物, 成功地将其转化为SCAR(Sequence characterized amplified regions)标记, 并在100尾已知性别的半滑舌鳎个体(雌雄各50尾)中进行验证, 结果表明, 该SCAR标记在所有雌性个体中均扩增得到一条长度为324 bp的DNA条带, 而在49尾雄性个体中均扩增不到该DNA条带(有1尾雄性个体例外), 证明该SCAR标记是雌性特异的, 并可用于半滑舌鳎个体遗传性别鉴定。随后, 利用该SCAR标记检测了3日龄半滑舌鳎幼苗, 结果表明, 雌性个体比例为41.7%。     

细胞质雄性不育辣椒育性恢复基因特异分子标记的筛选

利用集团分离分析法(Bulked segregant analysis BSA),以辣椒细胞质雄性不育系BU-12、恢复系RF-12为材料共筛选了336条RAPD引物,其中引物S418在恢复系中呈现特异性扩增,得到一条约3000bp的特异片段。回扩得到两条片段,测序表明大小为1515bp,1162bp。荧光原位杂交证实1515bp片段为恢复系特有,命名为S4181515。序列分析表明S4181515为一新发现的序列,Blastn序列比对同源性小于40％,tBlastx比对发现该序列与水稻2、4、7、10号染色体的几个BAC克隆上的序列高度同源。推测可能与其具有相似的编码功能,为进一步从分子水平研究辣椒育性恢复打下了坚实的基础。根据测序结果设计特异引物,将S4181515转化成特异PCR标记,证明能用于候选材料的初筛。

毛头鬼伞中一条新28S rRNA的发现及其同源性分析

本研究从担子菌毛头鬼伞(Coprinus comatus)菌丝中分离获得一条新的28S rRNA序列,序列长度为906bp(GenBank accession No.GU568178)。该序列是我们前期在从毛头鬼伞中克隆一种烟草花叶病毒(TMV)的抗性蛋白基因y3时意外获得的一条非目的条带。将此获得的序列通过NCBI的BLAST,以及与其同源序列进行Clustal w和MEGA聚类分析,证实该序列是28S rRNA,同时还发现毛头鬼伞的系统进化关系比较离散。此外,在这一新28S rRNA与TMV的抗性蛋白基因y3之间发现有两个同源区段有可能是PCR扩增y3基因时出现非目的条带的原因。在这两个同源区段中,其一区段与克隆y3基因时所用的PCR引物之一有较高的相似性,另一区段也是一般PCR引物的类似物。本研究中新28S rRNA序列的获得是PCR扩增中出现非目的条带的新例,该序列的发现及聚类分析的结果有助于真菌基因组学研究及真菌生物分子分类系统的建立。     

Male-specific DNA sequences in pigs

One hundred primers (Operon kits OPAA, OPAO, OPAV, OPC, and OPE series) were used for random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting to determine male-specific fragments. Seventy-four percent of the primers yielded Yorkshire polymorphic fragments. One of these primers, OPAV-18, produced a novel 1098-bp DNA fragment found only in tested males. This male-specific fragment was isolated and constructed into plasmids for nucleotide sequencing. Two primers (5'-TTGCTCACGG TAGATAACAA GAGAG-3' and 5'-TTGCTCACGG ACCAGGTAGG GAATG-3') were designed according to the cloned male-specific sequence to amplify the male-specific band using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for pig sexing. Sex-specific bands in the PCR gel products were represented in males but none were found in females when Yorkshire, Duroc, and Landrace genomic DNA samples were amplified with these two primers by PCR. The PCR products in the gel were transferred to nylon membranes and hybridized with a 32P-dCTP labeled probe of the cloned male-specific DNA fragment. There was a clear hybridization signal in samples from all of the male pigs, but not from those of female pigs. Male and female genomic DNA samples from these pigs were spotted onto nylon membranes and hybridized with the male-specific probe. The probe hybridized strongly to males only. A high degree of sequence homology was found among the novel male-specific DNA sequences in Yorkshire, Duroc and Landrace. The sex of these three breeds of pigs could be easily and effectively determined using these two primers.

Isolation and Characterization of Male-Specific DNA Markers in the Rock Bream Oplegnathus fasciatus

Sex-specific DNA markers applicable were very useful for elucidating the sex-determination mechanism and sex control in fishes. In the present study, amplified fragment-length polymorphism (AFLP) approach with 144 primer combinations was employed to identify sex-specific markers in the rock bream. Four male-specific AFLP fragments were identified which were designated as Opl286, Opl237, Opl422, and Opl228. Further sequence analysis of the sex markers’ genomic region revealed subtle differences between the males and females. We identified four male-specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and a deletion of 8 bp in marker Opl286, six male-specific SNPs in marker Opl237, three male-specific SNPs in marker Opl422, and eight male-specific SNPs and 1 bp inversions in marker Opl228. Specific primers were designed based on the nucleotide variation in the sequences to develop a simple polymerase chain reaction method for identifying the genetic sex of rock bream. As a result, three out of the four male-specific markers were converted into SNP markers. The male-specific AFLP markers and AFLP-derived SNP markers were tested in 100 individuals collected from three locations around the coast of Zhoushan, yielding reproducible sex identification. These male-specific DNA markers are a useful tool for the identification of the sex-determining locus in rock bream and for guiding artificial breeding programs.     

Cloning of Taiwan water buffalo male-specific DNA sequence for sexing

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting was carried out to investigate the sex-specific DNA sequence for sexing in Taiwan water buffalos. One hundred and forty random primers were used for RAPD-PCR (polymerase chain reaction). One of these primers, OPC-16, produced a 321 bp fragment found only in tested males. This male-specific fragment was isolated and constructed into plasmids for nucleotide sequencing, a novel male-specific sequence was obtained. Two primers (BuSexOPC16-F and -R) were designed according to the cloned male-specific sequence to amplify the male-specific fragment using PCR for sexing. Sex-specific bands in the gel were represented in the males but none were found in the females when the Taiwan water buffalo genomic DNA samples were amplified with these two primers using PCR. The same results were also obtained from Taiwan yellow, Holstein, Angus, and Hereford cattle samples. This showed that the sex of these five breeds could be easily and effectively determined using the PCR technique.     

Male-specific DNA in the dioecious species Atriplex garrettii (Chenopodiaceae)

The mechanism of sex determination in dioecious species of the genus Atriplex (Chenopodiaceae) has not been determined. This paper reports the discovery of a male-specific DNA fragment in the diploid dioecious species A. garrettii. DNA samples extracted individually from ten male and ten female plants were bulked by sex. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fragments were generated in the two bulks in order to identify markers that were polymorphic between male and female plants. A total of 158 decamer primers were tested. A 2075 base-pair (bp) male-specific DNA fragment generated with the OPAF-14 primer was identified. The fragment was cloned and partially sequenced and 24-mer primers that exclusively amplified this fragment were constructed. When 124 male plants, 126 female plants, and one hermaphroditic plant were tested individually, the male-specific 2075-bp DNA fragment was present in the hermaphrodite and all but one of the male plants, and was absent in all female plants. A smaller DNA fragment (~1800 bp) that was homologous to the 2075-bp fragment was amplified from the single male plant that lacked the 2075-bp fragment. Cytogenetic analysis revealed no apparent heteromorphic sex chromosomes. These observations suggest that sex determination in A. garrettii is genetic, with no evidence of heteromorphic sex chromosomes.     

Estimating the inbreeding level and genetic relatedness in an isolated population of critically endangered Sichuan taimen (Hucho Bleekeri) using genome‐wide SNP markers

Sichuan taimen (Hucho bleekeri) is critically endangered fish listed in The Red List of Threatened Species compiled by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Specific locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF‐seq)‐based genotyping was performed for Sichuan taimen with 43 yearling individuals from three locations in Taibai River (a tributary of Yangtze River) that has been sequestered from its access to the ocean for more than 30 years since late 1980s. Applying the inbreeding level and genetic relatedness estimation using 15,396 genome‐wide SNP markers, we found that the inbreeding level of this whole isolated population was at a low level (2.6 × 10^?3 ± 0.079), and the means of coancestry coefficients within and between the three sampling locations were all very low (close to 0), too. Genomic differentiation was negatively correlated with the geographical distances between the sampling locations (p < .001), and the 43 individuals could be considered as genetically independent two groups. The low levels of genomic inbreeding and relatedness indicated a relatively large number of sexually mature individuals were involved in reproduction in Taibai River. This study suggested a genomic‐relatedness‐guided breeding and conservation strategy for wild fish species without pedigree information records.     

Comparative mtDNA sequence (control region, ATPase 6 and NADH‐1) divergence in Hucho taimen(Pallas) across four Siberian river basins

Hucho taimen from eight populations spanning four drainage basins (Amur, Lena, Enisei and Khatanga) were analysed for nucleotide sequence variation across three mitochondrial genes (ATP6, NADH‐1 and control region). Samples of H. hucho , Brachymystax lenok (sharp‐snouted and blunt‐snouted forms) and Parahucho perryi were also included for comparison. Nucleotide variation across a total of 1826 base pairs in H. taimen revealed shared haplotypes between the Amur and Lena basins, further supporting a previous hypothesis of late to post‐Pleistocene hydrological exchange between these now disjunct basins. In contrast to an earlier study using the control region alone, clear phylogeographic structure was seen at a large geographic scale, reflected by two phylogroups, one corresponding to the Amur and Lena basins, and the other to the Enisei and Khatanga basins. Comparative rates of divergence revealed considerably faster and less heterogeneous substitution rates for the two coding genes, especially at interspecific levels compared to the mtDNA control region.     

Male-specific DNA markers from African catfish (Clarias gariepinus)

We searched for sex-specific DNA sequences in the male and female genomes of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) by comparative random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assays performed on pooled DNA samples. Two sex-linked RAPD markers were identified from the male DNA pool and confirmed on individual samples, showing good agreement with phenotypic sex. Both markers were isolated, cloned and characterized. The first marker (CgaY1) was nearly 2.6 kb long, while the length of second one (CgaY2) was 458 bp. Southern blot analysis with a CgaY1 probe showed strong hybridizing fragments only in males and not in females under stringent conditions, indicating the presence of multiple copies of CgaY1 in the male genome. When tested by zoo blot on the genomes of two closely related species from the Clariidae family, CgaY1 hybridized to the DNA of Heterobranchus longifilis and generated a faint male-specific band at low stringency. CgaY2 produced similar hybridization pattern in both sexes of C. gariepinus, C. macrocephalus and H. longifilis. Specific primers were designed to the sequences and the markers were amplified in multiplex PCR reactions together with a control band common to all individuals. This allowed for rapid, molecular sexing of the species on the basis of a simple three band (male) versus one band (female) pattern. According to our knowledge these are the first sex-specific DNA markers isolated from a siluroid fish species. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

A novel sex-linked microsatellite marker for molecular sexing in rock bream fish Oplegnathus fasciatus

Sex-specific DNA markers can serve as efficient tools for molecular sex identification and thus provide important information for ecological and evolutionary studies, as well as for fishery management. In the present study, microsatellite markers were employed to identify sex-linked markers in the rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus). A microsatellite marker, designated as Oplfa16, displayed a male-specific genotype in rock bream. The male-specific microsatellite marker was further tested in 82 individuals, ensuring reproducible sex identification. Therefore, we developed a rapid and reliable method for sex identification in rock bream by using a novel sex-linked microsatellite marker.     

额尔齐斯河流域不同来源哲罗鲑形态及COⅠ基因比较研究

为对哲罗鲑(Hucho)的引种放流和土著物种的保护提供科学依据, 研究采集了数尾来源于天然水域的哲罗鲑(Hucho BHB和Hucho BEJ), 与引进的哲罗鲑(Hucho HLJ)一起进行了形态特点观察描述, 同时对COⅠ基因扩增测序并从GenBank下载哲罗鲑属COⅠ基因构建系统发育树、计算遗传距离进行分子生物学比较研究。结果显示, Hucho BEJ和Hucho HLJ形态特点相一致, Hucho BHB与其他两种来源的哲罗鲑在体色、斑点大小等均有差异。基于COⅠ基因的系统发育树显示几种不同来源的哲罗鲑均与太门哲罗鲑(H. taimen)聚为一个大的分枝, 但在这个分枝下, Hucho BEJ和Hucho HLJ与俄罗斯阿穆尔河(中国称黑龙江)的哲罗鲑聚为一枝, 而Hucho BHB单独形成一支。基于COⅠ基因的遗传矩阵显示, Hucho BEJ和Hucho HLJ与俄罗斯阿穆尔河的哲罗鲑遗传距离较近(0—0.0044), 而Hucho BHB与Hucho BEJ、Hucho HLJ及俄罗斯阿穆尔河的哲罗鲑遗传距离较远(0.0057—0.0082)。这说明Hucho BHB在形态和基因序列上与Hucho HLJ及俄罗斯阿穆尔河的哲罗鲑具有较大差异, 可能是不同的生态地理类型, Hucho BEJ和Hucho HLJ在形态和基因序列上基本一致, 我们推测Hucho BEJ是放流或养殖场逃逸的哲罗鲑。
