Six microsatellite loci in forest musk deer,Moschus berezovskii

Through an improved enrichment protocol, 20 microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized in an endangered animal, forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii). In which, six loci showed high polymorphism with five to 13 alleles in 48 sampled individuals. The observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.362–0.955 and 0.784–0.906, respectively. The average polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.8108 in these six microsatellites and they could be the valuable genetic markers for further investigation of forest musk deer species.     

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii)

This study reported the isolation and characterization of eight polymorphic microsatellite loci in endangered forest musk deer Moschus berezovskii. An improved enrichment protocol was used to isolate microsatellites, and polymorphism was explored with samples from wild musk deer population collected in Miyalo of Sichuan Province in China. Approximately 70% of clones from the genomic library constructed in current study contained dinucleotide (AC) repeats. Eight microsatellite loci amplified were highly polymorphic within forest musk deer population. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 6 to 14, and the observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.41 approximately 1.0 and from 0.8 approximately 0.9, respectively. The average polymorphic information content (PIC) value for these markers was 0.82. This demonstrated that the eight microsatellite loci developed here are highly polymorphic, and can be used as genetic markers for further investigation of musk deer. Also, the results showed that the musk deer distributed in Miyalo had a relatively higher level of genetic variation.     

Genetic quality of the Miyaluo captive forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) population as assessed by microsatellite loci

The Miyaluo captive forest musk deer population (Sichuan Province, China) is one of the largest captive breeding populations in the world. In order to evaluate the genetic quality and provide available genetic management strategy, seven polymorphism microsatellite loci were applied to assess the genetic variation of the Miyaluo forest musk deer. The results indicated that a total of 168 alleles were detected from these seven microsatellite loci in 361 individuals, and the number of the alleles per locus ranged from 12 to 41 with a mean of 24. The average observed heterozygosity, expected heterozygosity, and PIC were 0.782, 0.854, and 0.837, respectively. Considering the results of the loci Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium test, the comparison of the common allele frequency as well as the private allele between the adults and juveniles, we concluded that the heterozygosity and the genetic diversity of the Miyaluo captive breeding population are increasing due to the input of new individuals from other populations. However, the frequency of some alleles declined sharply, and some were even lost indicating that there is a risk for diversity loss. Thus, we proposed an improved management and breeding strategy for the captive breeding population of the forest musk deer.     

Development and characterization of 15 novel microsatellite markers from forest musk deer (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Moschus berezovskii</Emphasis>)

A total of 15 polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii). These loci showed high levels of allelic diversity, presenting 6–14 alleles per locus in a group with 31 individuals. The mean observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.82 and 0.68, respectively. The average polymorphic information content value, cumulative discrimination power, overall probability of exclusion with both unknown parents or with only unknown sire for these markers were 0.78, 1.0, 0.9999 and 1.0, respectively, indicating that this suit of microsatellite loci would be a powerful tool for the genetic determination of the forest musk deer.     

Microsatellite analysis of the genetic structure of captive forest musk deer populations and its implication for conservation

Forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) are rare as a result of poaching for musk and habitat loss. Some captive populations of forest musk deer have been established for decades in China. However, little genetic information is available for conservation management. In this paper, genetic variations, population structures, and the genetic bottleneck hypothesis were examined using 11 microsatellite loci from captive populations in Miyalo, Jinfeng and Maerkang in Sichuan Province, China. Estimates of genetic variability revealed substantial genetic variation in the three populations. A total of 142 different alleles were observed in 121 forest musk deer and the effective number of alleles per locus varied from 6.76 to 12.95. The average values of observed heterozygosity, expected heterozygosity, and Nei's expected heterozygosity were 0.552, 0.899 and 0.894 respectively. The overall significant (P < 0.001) deficit of heterozygotes because of inbreeding within breeds amounted to 34.5%. The mean F_ST (P < 0.001) showed that approximately 90.2% of the genetic variation was within populations and 9.8% was across populations. The UPGMA diagram, based on Nei's unbiased genetic distance, indicated that the three populations were differentiated into two different groups and it agreed with their origin and history. Bottleneck tests indicated that all three populations have undergone a population bottleneck, suggesting a small effective population size. Acknowledging that the genetic structure of populations has crucial conservation implications, the present genetic information should be taken into account in management plans for the conservation of captive forest musk deer.     

New insights into the karyotypic relationships of Chinese muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi), forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) and gayal (Bos frontalis)

To investigate the karyotypic relationships between Chinese muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi), forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) and gayal (Bos frontalis), a complete set of Chinese muntjac chromosome-specific painting probes has been assigned to G-banded chromosomes of these three species. Sixteen autosomal probes (i.e. 6-10, 12-22) of the Chinese muntjac each delineated one pair of conserved segments in the forest musk deer and gayal, respectively. The remaining six autosomal probes (1-5, and 11) each delineated two to five pairs of conserved segments. In total, the 22 autosomal painting probes of Chinese muntjac delineated 33 and 34 conserved chromosomal segments in the genomes of forest musk deer and gayal, respectively. The combined analysis of comparative chromosome painting and G-band comparison reveals that most interspecific homologous segments show a high degree of conservation in G-banding patterns. Eleven chromosome fissions and five chromosome fusions differentiate the karyotypes of Chinese muntjac and forest musk deer; twelve chromosome fissions and six fusions are required to convert the Chinese muntjac karyotype to that of gayal; one chromosome fission and one fusion separate the forest musk deer and gayal. The musk deer has retained a highly conserved karyotype that closely resembles the proposed ancestral pecoran karyotype but shares none of the rearrangements characteristic for the Cervidae and Bovidae. Our results substantiate that chromosomes 1-5 and 11 of Chinese muntjac originated through exclusive centromere-to-telomere fusions of ancestral acrocentric chromosomes.     

四川盆地西北缘林麝种群密度及保护与利用

1986年10月-1987年5月在四川盆地西北缘,利用粪堆计数法,对保护区和非保护区的4种不同生境及不同海拔区间林麝种群密度进行了调查研究。得到保护地区原生林、次生乔木林、次生灌木林、人工林4种生境中林麝种群密度(M±SE)分别为3.94±1.57、1.55±0.23、0.61±0.22、0.00头/平方公里,其中最佳生境林麝密度为9.88头/平方公里;非保护地区次生乔木林中林麝种群密度(M±SE)为0.15±0.09头/平方公里,非常显著地低于保护地区次生乔木林(P<0.005),此区已丧失了利用价值。按年平均增长率49.80%计算,在无任何人为猎取的情况下,要恢复到1.5-2.5头/平方公里(正常栖息密度),约需6-7年。而后,可按每年自然繁殖总量的60%或总数量的20%猎取。同时得到决定林麝水平分布的关键因子是植被类型、乔灌木密度及基底硬度;决定林麝垂直分布的主要因子是植被垂直分布和人为干扰程度。     

A novel set of microsatellite marker loci linkage-mapped in the house musk shrew, Suncus murinus.

Ten microsatellite DNA loci developed for the white-toothed shrew (Crocidura russula) were tested for PCR amplification and for utility in linkage studies in the house musk shrew, Suncus murinus. Four primer pairs successfully yielded PCR amplicons and showed polymorphism between two mutant strains, BAN-kc,oeb and WZ. Cloning and sequencing of the PCR amplicons of all the four loci confirmed the presence of microsatellite sequences. Alleles segregating in an F2 resource population constructed from the two strains ranged between two and five. Linkage analysis of the four loci together with 18 other polymorphic markers and three mutant loci resulted in five linkage groups containing three newly mapped microsatellite loci. This study reports the first microsatellite markers being registered in this species.

The olfactory subgenome and specific odor recognition in forest musk deer

Olfactory receptors (ORs) are encoded by OR genes. The OR genes in forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii), which rely on olfaction for reproductive and social communication, are poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed the genome sequence of the forest musk deer to obtain its olfactory subgenome and compared it to other species. A total of 1378 OR‐related sequences were detected in the forest musk deer genome including 864 functional genes, 366 pseudogenes and 148 partial genes. These OR genes were classified into Class I and Class II and were further classified into 18 families and 244 subfamilies through sequence identity. Comparative analyses of the OR genes’ protein sequences in species from different orders (forest musk deer, human, mouse and dog) showed that 12 clusters were specific to forest musk deer. However, when compared to other Artiodactyl species (i.e. cattle, yak and pig) only two clusters were specific to forest musk deer. The odor identification potential of the OR genes in the forest musk deer was focused mainly on floral, woody, lemon, sweet and fatty odors. We also found that OR genes specific to forest musk deer were involved in the identification of spearmint and caraway. Our work is the first genome‐wide analysis of OR genes in forest musk deer. These findings will assist with better understanding the relationship between behavior and olfaction in the forest musk deer and the characteristics of the olfactory subgenome in Artiodactyl mammals.
