本研究以柴达木山羊、柴达木绒山羊和辽宁绒山羊三个群体共147只山羊为材料,利用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳（PAGE）技术检测了5种血液蛋白质（酶）基因座的遗传多态性,并进行了结构基因遗传共适应的研究,结果发现：45个基因座组合中有10个基因座组合处于遗传不平衡状态,并且这些遗传不平衡皆单纯由遗传共适应差异造成;除辽宁绒山羊Tf-PA-3组合的遗传不平衡包含非等位基因间的遗传共适应差异外,其他基因座组合的遗传不平衡皆由等位基因间的共适应差异,即单基因座的遗传不平衡造成;LAP-EsD组合的共适应差异在群体间有遗传传递现象。 Abstract:With the technology of PAGE,the genetic polymorphism of blood protein and enzyme was investigated,and genetic co-adaptability among structural genes was studied in three goat populations(147 goats) including Chaidamu goat(CS),Chaidamu Cashmere goat(CRS) and Liaoning Cashmere goat(LRS) in Qinghai Province,China.The results were showed that the genetic disequilibrium of 10 locus combinations was found among 45 locus combinations in the three goat populations,and these genetic disequilibria were caused only by the difference of genetic co-adaptability among genes,because there didn′t exist the linkage disequilibrium among non-allelic genes.The genetic disequilibrium including the difference of genetic co-adaptability between non-allelic genes was only found at Tf-PA-3 locus combinations in LRS population,the other ones were all caused by the genetic disequilibrium at a single locus.The difference of genetic co-adaptability of LAP-EsD locus combinations could be messaged among different populations.

肖四海湖野生和人工放流鳜群体遗传结构分析

采用微卫星标记研究天然封闭型水体肖四海内鳜放流群体与野生群体的遗传差异,试图从分子水平探讨人工增殖放流群体与野生群体遗传结构的差异。结果表明:鳜两个群体在10对微卫星座位共发现有50个等位基因。其中,放流群体发现有22个等位基因,野生群体发现37个等位基因;通过He和PIC统计发现,野生群体遗传多样性明显高于放流增殖鳜,野生鳜群体表现出更丰富的遗传多样性;由杂合度检验可以看出,两个群体都呈现杂合过剩现象,经哈代-温伯格平衡检验,显示两个群体均显著偏离哈代-温伯格平衡(P0.001),属于连锁不平衡群体;群体间的FST检验,可以看出群体间的FST高于0.25,反映遗传变异主要存在于群体间,而不是群体内部,这充分反映近交及瓶颈效应会引起养殖群体遗传结构的改变,从而导致群体间的遗传分化。

Social heterosis and the maintenance of genetic diversity at the genome level

Social heterosis is when individuals in groups or neighbourhoods receive a mutualistic benefit from across‐individual genetic diversity. Although it can be a viable evolutionary mechanism to maintain allelic diversity at a given locus, its efficacy at maintaining genome‐wide diversity is in question when multiple loci are being simultaneously selected. Therefore, we modelled social heterosis in a population of haploid genomes of two‐ or three‐linked loci. With such linkages, social heterosis decreases gametic diversity, but maintains allelic diversity. Genomes tend to survive as complimentary pairs, with alternate alleles at each locus (e.g. the pair AbC and aBc). The outcomes of selection appear similar to fitness epistasis but are novel in the sense that phenotypic interactions occur across rather than within individuals. The model’s results strongly suggest that strong linkage across gene loci actually increases the probability that social heterosis maintains significant genetic diversity at the level of the genome.     

QUANTITATIVE GENETIC VARIANCE MAINTAINED BY FLUCTUATING SELECTION WITH OVERLAPPING GENERATIONS: VARIANCE COMPONENTS AND COVARIANCES

The quantitative genetic variance-covariance that can be maintained in a random environment is studied, assuming overlapping generations and Gaussian stabilizing selection with a fluctuating optimum. The phenotype of an individual is assumed to be determined by additive contributions from each locus on paternal and maternal gametes (i.e., no epistasis and no dominance). Recurrent mutation is ignored, but linkage between loci is arbitrary. The genotype distribution in the evolutionarily stable population is generically discrete: only a finite number of polymorphic alleles with distinctly different effects are maintained, even though we allow a continuum of alleles with arbitrary phenotypic contributions to invade. Fluctuating selection maintains nonzero genetic variance in the evolutionarily stable population if the environmental heterogeneity is larger than a certain threshold. Explicit asymptotic expressions for the standing variance-covariance components are derived for the population near the threshold, or for large generational overlap, as a function of environmental variability and genetic parameters (i.e., number of loci, recombination rate, etc.), using the fact that the genotype distribution is discrete. Above the threshold, the population maintains considerable genetic variance in the form of positive linkage disequilibrium and positive gamete covariance (Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium) as well as allelic variance. The relative proportion of these disequilibrium variances in the total genetic variance increases with the environmental variability.

Empirical evaluation of cytonuclear models incorporating genetic drift and tests for neutrality of mtDNA variants: data from experimental Gambusia hybrid zones

Statistical tests of genetic drift and of the neutrality of mtDNA are presented using empirical time‐series data on multi‐generational changes in cytonuclear disequilibria within replicated experimental hybrid populations of two species of live‐bearing Poeciliid fishes (Gambusia holbrooki and G.affinis) which were monitored over a period of two years (three generations). Cytonuclear disequilibria D and D (which measure departures from random associations of cytoplasmic and nuclear genotypes) over the three generations of the experiment were non‐zero for all replicate populations. For each of five nuclear loci, the observed measures of D and D were highly concordant between replicates during each generation. Significant departures from expectations were observed after one and two generations. A statistical measure of goodness of fit of observed changes in cytonuclear disequilibria (and implicitly of the neutrality of the mtDNA markers) was calculated for each nuclear locus. When the results for the replicates were combined into an overall test of neutrality, the fit to the random union of zygotes (RUZ) model was rejected for four of the five nuclear loci (P < 0.05). A simple genetic drift model does not explain the temporal changes in composite cytonuclear genotypic frequencies. Frequencies of parental G. holbrooki mitochondrial alleles and nuclear genotypes exceeded expected values during most time periods, implying some selective advantage of offspring produced by G. holbrooki females. Expansion of cytonuclear models to explicitly address questions of genetic drift and neutrality have general relevance to studies of natural populations. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

COMPARISON OF NON‐GAUSSIAN QUANTITATIVE GENETIC MODELS FOR MIGRATION AND STABILIZING SELECTION

The balance between stabilizing selection and migration of maladapted individuals has formerly been modeled using a variety of quantitative genetic models of increasing complexity, including models based on a constant expressed genetic variance and models based on normality. The infinitesimal model can accommodate nonnormality and a nonconstant genetic variance as a result of linkage disequilibrium. It can be seen as a parsimonious one‐parameter model that approximates the underlying genetic details well when a large number of loci are involved. Here, the performance of this model is compared to several more realistic explicit multilocus models, with either two, several or a large number of alleles per locus with unequal effect sizes. Predictions for the deviation of the population mean from the optimum are highly similar across the different models, so that the non‐Gaussian infinitesimal model forms a good approximation. It does, however, generally estimate a higher genetic variance than the multilocus models, with the difference decreasing with an increasing number of loci. The difference between multilocus models depends more strongly on the effective number of loci, accounting for relative contributions of loci to the variance, than on the number of alleles per locus.     

关于最大信息熵原理与群体遗传平衡一致性的探讨

汪小龙等建立了用最大信息熵原理推导一个基因座上群体遗传平衡的统一数学模型,并给出了模型的最大值解,此解正是Hardy-Weinberg平衡定律所给出的基因型频率。这说明当群体基因型信息熵最大时,群体基因型频率不再变化,达到平衡状态,从而证明了最大信息熵原理与Hardy-Weinberg平衡定律具有一致性,同时指出这一结论可以推广至有迁移、突变、选择、遗传漂变、近亲交配的群体以及多个基因座情形。概括地说就是：最大信息熵原理与群体遗传平衡具有一致性。但是,他们仅仅证明了最大信息熵原理与一个基因座上Hardy-Weinberg平衡定律具有一致性,本文在这个范围内将其推广至多个基因座,且每一个基因座均为复等位基因情形。至于最大信息熵原理是否与其它的群体遗传平衡具有一致性,他们的结论仅仅是猜想,并未严格推导。事实上,要想将这种一致性推广到迁移、突变、随机漂变和近亲交配等群体,则不见得正确。

Genetic trends in a population evolving antibiotic resistance

The evolution of antibiotic resistance provides a well-documented, rapid, and recent example of a selection driven process that has occurred in many bacterial species. An exhaustive collection of Moraxella catarrhalis that spans a transition to chromosomally encoded penicillin resistance was used to analyze genetic changes accompanying the transition. The population was characterized by high haplotypic diversity with 148 distinct haplotypes among 372 isolates tested at three genomic regions. The power of a temporally stratified sample from a single population was highlighted by the finding of high genetic diversity throughout the transition to resistance, population numbers that remained high over time, and no evidence of departures from neutrality in the allele frequency spectra throughout the transition. The direct temporal analysis documented the persistence, antibiotic status, and haplotypic identity of strains undergoing apparent clonal expansions. Several haplotypes that were beta-lactamase nonproducers in early samples converted to producers in later years. Maintenance of genetic diversity and haplotype conversions from sensitive to resistant supported the hypothesis that penicillin resistance determinants spread to a diverse array of strains via horizontal exchange. Genetic differentiation between sample years, estimated by F(ST), was increasing at a rate that could cause complete haplotype turnover in less than 150 years. Widespread linkage disequilibrium among sites within one locus (copB) suggested recent mutation followed by clonal expansion. Nonrandom associations between haplotypes and resistance phenotypes provided further evidence of clonal expansion for some haplotypes. Nevertheless, the population structure was far from clonal as evidenced by a relatively low frequency of disequilibria both within sites at a second locus (M46) as well as between loci. The haplotype-antibiotic resistance association that was accompanied by gradual haplotype turnover is consistent with a hypothesis of genetic drift at marker loci with directional selection at the resistance locus.
