昆明小鼠4个可能近交系的基因分型验证

在我国,昆明小鼠作为一种实验动物广泛应用于药理和遗传学相关的研究领域。但由于昆明小鼠属于远交群,而且不同地区的种群间已经出现了严重分化,缺乏具有显著特征的近交系,这使得它在生物学上的应用受到了很大的限制。研究人员已经以昆明小鼠为背景培育出了几个可能的近交系,但由于缺乏可靠的遗传检测,至今未得到广泛的认可和应用。文章收集昆明小鼠的4个已经60代以上兄妹交配繁殖的可能近交系,并以两个标准近交系BALB/c和C57BL/6为参照,利用30个微卫星标记对每个品系的5只小鼠进行了微卫星基因分型,进而分析其遗传纯度。结果发现,品系A1和品系N4在本研究所用的30个位点均呈纯合状态;而T2和N2均在D15Mit16位点呈杂合状态。本研究第一次为我国昆明小鼠近交系的遗传学纯度提供了可靠的分子水平证据。今后应当加强昆明小鼠近交系的标准化,以扩大其在遗传学方面的应用。

果蝇研究技术与资源的开发

黑腹果蝇(Drosophila melanogaster)是进行生物医学研究的理想模型,但研究过程往往受到遗传工具和品系资源的限制,无法有效地调控目的基因表达,阻碍实验的深入开展。为了方便果蝇领域的实验室开展研究,我们首先开发并优化了基于CRISPR/Cas9的基因组编辑技术,随后研发了转录激活系统和新一代转基因干扰技术,最终可以简单高效、准确特异地调控目的基因表达。同时,利用这些遗传学新技术,我们构建了相应的基因敲除、转基因转录激活、转基因干扰的果蝇品系资源库,使清华大学果蝇中心成为世界上最重要的果蝇技术和资源中心之一。这些新技术以及相应的果蝇资源,正在被国内外果蝇研究领域的实验室所应用,对发育和疾病等相关研究发挥着广泛的促进作用。

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
