Animals from the Booroola line of Australian Merino sheep are characterized by a high ovulation rate that can be attributed to the presence of a codominant allele (Fec
B).The specific function of the gene has not been identified. Effective use of the trait within the sheep breeding industry requires one or more genetic markers that can distinguish between alternative alleles at the locus Fec. With a combination of DNA minisatellite markers and polymorphic protein markers, a cluster of seven minisatellite fragments has been identified as being linked to the Fec gene and to the ovine A blood group locus. The minisatellite fragments have been derived from multilocus probes and hence cannot be used to define the chromosomal location of the Fec gene or to serve as diagnostic markers for Fec. The derivation of cloned single locus markers from the minisatellite fragments will enable finer scale mapping of the Fec and the A blood group locus in sheep. 相似文献

Small Tail Han (STH) sheep is a famous Chinese local breed and has perfect prolificacy performance, but it is inferior to
imported mutton sheep breeds on meat production. In this study, six imported male sheep populations (White Suffolk, Black
Suffolk, Texel, Dorper, South African Mutton Merino and East Friesian) were crossbred with STH female sheep respectively.
The heterosis values of litter size, average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of crossbred sheep were analyzed
for seeking the optimal cross. Meanwhile 28 microsatellite markers were used to measure the genetic distance between imported
populations and STH population. Regression between the genetic distance and heterosis was analyzed for evaluating potential
of microsatellite on predicting heterosis. Results showed a significant positive linear correlation (r = 0.892, P < 0.05) between heterosis of litter size and genetic distance D
A of six crosses. This implied that these microsatellite markers had moderate potential to forecast heterosis of litter size
in sheep. Results of this study also indicated that South African Mutton Merino and East Friesian sheep would be the optimal
sire breeds for the litter size and might bring the greatest economic benefit in six imported populations; Suffolk sheep could
be prior consideration as sire breeds when breeding objective focused on ADG. Finally these results provided valuable information
for Chinese sheep industry. 相似文献

The present study was designed for screening polymorphism of known fecundity genes in prolific Indian Bonpala sheep. Employing tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system PCR, 11-point mutations of BMP1B, BMP15, and GDF9 genes of 97 Bonpala ewes were genotyped. The FecB locus of the BMPR1B gene and two loci (G1 and G4) of GDF9 gene were found to be polymorphic. In FecB locus, three genotypes, namely, wild type (Fec++, 0.02), heterozygous (FecB+, 0.23), and mutant (FecBB, 0.75) were detected. At G1 locus of GDF9 gene, three genotypes, namely, wild type (GG, 0.89), heterozygous (GA, 0.10), and mutant (AA, 0.01) were detected. At G4 locus of GDF9 gene, three genotypes, namely, wild type (AA, 0.01), heterozygous (AG, 0.14), and mutant (GG, 0.85) were detected. Statistically no significant correlation of polymorphism of FecB, G1, and G4 loci and litter size was found in this breed. All five loci of BMP15 and three loci of GDF 9 genes were monomorphic. This study reports Bonpala sheep as the first sheep breed where concurrent polymorphism at three important loci (FecB, G1, and G4) of two different fecundity genes (BMPR1B and GDF9) has been found. 相似文献

Polymorphism of some DNA microsatellite sequences of sunflower breeding genotypes (inbred lines, hybrids) was investigated. Allelic composition on 8 SSR loci is unique characteristic of every analysed genotype allowing their identification. Microsatellite markers are proposed to be used for definition of line genetic purity and of F1 seeds hybridity range. 相似文献

Booroola Merino (BoM) ewes have a high ovulation rate and litter size which in 1980 was postulated to be due to the effects of a major gene (FecB). This was confirmed in breeding experiments and FecB was subsequently shown to be due to a mutation (BMPR-1B) on chromosome 6. The BoM originated from an Australian commercial fine wool Merino flock (Booroola) and has been used in crossing experiments and for introgression of FecB into many breeds around the world to improve fecundity. The mutation has recently been found in native sheep breeds in India, China and Indonesia and it is likely that FecB in the Australian BoM was derived from importations of Garole sheep from India in 1792 and 1793.The effects on production traits of the FecB mutation in a range of genetic comparisons, environments and production systems are reviewed. Comparisons involving BoM crosses with various other breeds and contrasts of FecB homozygous (BB), heterozygous (B+) and non-carrier (++) genotypes in comparable background genotypes, including non-BoM, have been summarised from 45 reports. The weighted mean effect for ewes carrying one copy of FecB (B+) was +1.3 (range +0.8 to +2.0) for ovulation rate and +0.7 (range +0.4 to +1.3) for litter size. The effect of a second copy (BB) was generally additive for ovulation rate, with little or no increase in litter size for BB ewes among BoM crosses. However there was generally a further increase in litter size for BB ewes of about half the effect of one copy (B+) in the Indian and Chinese breeds. Poor lamb survival and lamb growth reduced the number of lambs weaned and total weight of lamb weaned by B+ ewes. Most studies still showed a small advantage for B+ ewes, although several reported negative effects. While embryo survival declines at higher ovulation rates, the effects of FecB per se are equivocal. There is some evidence of a higher non-pregnancy rate among homozygous BB ewes. Most studies reported lower birth weight and growth rate from BoM cross lambs and lambs from crossbred ewes introgressed with FecB. However it is difficult to separate the effects of low background genetic merit for growth of the BoM and the lower birth weight and growth rate of lambs from larger litters from the genetic effect of carrying FecB. There was little or no difference in growth rate between BB, B+ and ++ genotype lambs. For other traits including, seasonal oestrous activity, carcass and meat quality and wool production, there was no evidence of major effects of FecB. The opportunities for management and nutritional modification of FecB expression and implications for industry adoption are briefly discussed. 相似文献

The domestic sheep (Ovis aries) has been an economically and culturally important farm animal species since its domestication around the world. A wide array of sheep breeds with abundant phenotypic diversity exists including domestication and selection as well as the indigenous breeds may harbor specific features as a result of adaptation to their environment. The objective of this study was to investigate the population structure of indigenous sheep in a large geographic location of the Chinese mainland. Six microsatellites were genotyped for 611 individuals from 14 populations. The mean number of alleles (±SD) ranged from 7.00 ± 3.69 in Gangba sheep to 10.50 ± 4.23 in Tibetan sheep. The observed heterozygote frequency (±SD) within a population ranged from 0.58 ± 0.03 in Gangba sheep to 0.71 ± 0.03 in Zazakh sheep and Minxian black fur sheep. In addition, there was a low pairwise difference among the Minxian black fur sheep, Mongolian sheep, Gansu alpine merino, and Lanzhou fat‐tailed sheep. Bayesian analysis with the program STRUCTURE showed support for 3 clusters, revealing a vague genetic clustering pattern with geographic location. The results of the current study inferred high genetic diversity within these native sheep in the Chinese mainland. 相似文献

Genetic diversity studies in domestic animals aim at evaluating genetic variation within and across breeds mainly for conservation purposes. In Sicily, dairy sheep production represents an important resource for hilly and mountain areas economy. Their milk is used for the production of traditional raw milk cheeses, sometimes protected designation of origin (PDO) cheeses. In some cases, the quality of these products is linked to a specific breed, i.e. mono-breed labelled cheeses and it is therefore important to be able to distinguish the milk of a breed from that of others, in order to guarantee both the consumer and the breed itself. In order to investigate the genetic structure and to perform an assignment test, a total of 331 individuals (Barbaresca, BAR n = 57, Comisana, COM n = 65, Pinzirita, PIN n = 75, Sarda, SAR n = 64, and Valle del Belice, VDB n = 70) were analysed using a panel of 20 microsatellite markers. A total of 259 alleles were observed with average polymorphic information content equal to 0.76, showing that the microsatellites panel used was highly informative. Estimates of observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.65 in the BAR breed to 0.75 in the COM breed. The low value of genetic differentiation among breeds (Fst = 0.049) may indicate that these breeds are little differentiated probably due to common history and breeding practices. The low Fis and Fit values indicated low level of inbreeding within and among breeds. The unrooted neighbor-joining dendrogram obtained from the Reynold's genetic distances, and factorial correspondence analysis revealed a separation between BAR and the other sheep breeds. Recent migration rates were estimated, showing that four out of the five breeds have not received a significant proportion of migrants. Only for the PIN breed a recent introgression rate from the VDB breed (7.2%) was observed. The Bayesian assignment test showed that BAR and SAR breeds had a more definite genetic structure (proportion of assignment of 92% and 86.6%, respectively), whereas the lowest assignment value was found in the PIN breed (67.1%). Our results indicated high genetic variability, low inbreeding and low genetic differentiation, except for BAR breed, and were in accordance with geographical location, history, and breeding practices. The low robustness of the assignment test makes it unfeasible for traceability purposes, due to the high level of admixture, in particular for COM, PIN and VDB. 相似文献

This study reports the status of the Booroola (FecB) and Galway (FecXG) mutations in Indian sheep breeds. The Kendrapada sheep (n = 46) was genotyped for the presence of FecB and FecXG mutations, while the Garole (n = 34), Malpura (n = 30), and Decanni sheep (n = 15) for the FecXG mutation. The FecB and FecXG genotyping was carried out by forced restriction fragment length polymorphism PCR technique. In the present study, FecB mutation was discovered in the Kendrapada sheep of Orissa, which is now the second prolific sheep of India after the Garole. Out of 46 individuals of Kendrapada sheep, 26 were homozygous (BB), 15 heterozygous (B+) and 5 non-carriers (++) for the FecB mutation. The frequency of the FecB allele in this sample was about 0.73. Results indicated that the frequency of the FecB mutation is high, but the gene is not fixed in the population as reported in Garole sheep. None of sheep breeds carried the FecXG mutation. The discovery of the FecB mutation in Kendrapada sheep will facilitate the use of FecB allele in improving the prolificacy of non-prolific sheep breeds of India. 相似文献

A set of homologous primers were designed to provide the amplification of microsatellite markers in a variety of salmonid species. They can help to solve problems associated with the genetics and conservation biology of salmonids, viz., (1) species identification; (2) determination of interspecific hybrids; (3) genetic estimation of salmonid biodiversity in a watershed; (4) individualization of tissue samples, i.e., testing on their belonging to the same individual; and (5) identification of a fish’s origins. 相似文献

The knowledge of the genetic relationship and admixture among neighbouring populations is crucial for conservation efforts. The aim of this study was to analyse the genetic diversity of five Italian sheep breeds (Appenninica, Garfagnina Bianca, Massese, Pomarancina and Zerasca) using a panel of 24 microsatellite markers. Blood samples from 226 individuals belonging to the aforementioned populations were obtained and genotyped. All the investigated breeds showed a significant heterozygote deficiency caused by the high level of inbreeding indicated also by the high level of FIS (0.146). Genetic differentiation between breeds was moderate (FST = 0.05) but significant and the individuals could be assigned to their breeds with an high success rate even if the inter-individual distances showed that few animals clustered separately from the other individuals of the same breed, especially for Pomarancina breed. The genetic distances reflect the historical knowledge of these breeds and some patterns of ancestral and recent gene flow between neighbour populations arise. The clustering analysis detects the presence of six clusters. Massese and Zerasca breeds were grouped together as well as Appenninica and Pomarancina with the latter forming two distinct clusters equally represented. The formation of this last breed is occurred with the absorption of individuals of the Appenninica breed and the gene flow probably continued in these recent years allowing the presence of a population substructure for Pomarancina breed. Such substructure supports the high level of heterozygote deficiency found for this breed despite the relatively high population size. The five populations analysed presented some genetic similarities but a clear uniqueness of the populations has been showed for almost all of them. Special attention to monitor genetic variability and to organize mating plans should be given especially for the three endangered breeds. 相似文献

The incidence of malignant melanoma is currently increasing faster than any other cancer and in 5-12% of cases occurs in a familial context in which the disease cosegregates as an autosomal dominant trait. To identify the location of genes that predipose individuals to familial melanoma (MLM), we have carried out linkage analysis in three large Australian melanoma pedigrees using 172 microsatellite markers spread across all autosomes. Three additional smaller families were typed for 70 of the same markers. In five of the six families we found lod scores between 1.0 and 2.3, which may provide evidence for the location of melanoma genes in proximity to some of these markers. If this turns out to be the case, these data potentially demonstrate that MLM is genetically heterogeneous since there was no marker for which all families gave significantly high LODs. These data provide the foundation for an exclusion map for melanoma and, more importantly, high-light areas of the genome for others to substantiate the potential positions of some of the genes that may be responsible for susceptibility to MLM. 相似文献

Cytochrome b gene markers have been proved as an efficient and powerful tool for breed characterization and species identification of
buffaloes. This study represents the substantial analysis of mitochondrial DNA variation in Pakistani buffalo breeds and provides
information about their genetic diversity. In this study partial amplification of cytochrome b gene of 1,061 bp was done and sequencing results showed ten haplotypes. Comparing all fifty samples from two buffalo breeds
of Pakistan, fifteen polymorphic sites were observed out of which, twelve codons 42, 71, 118, 120, 199, 235, 269, 297, 318,
327, 350, 355 of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene are monomorphic which translate same amino acids as in the reference protein sequence due to silent mutation while different
in DNA sequence. Similarly three codons 163, 246, 337 of mitochondrial cytochrome b are polymorphic and different from the reference sequence with respect to DNA as well as protein sequence. For the further
confirmation a panel of nine microsatellite markers was used with high polymorphism information content (PIC). The frequency
distribution of these alleles varies from three to eight allele at locus CSSM66 and ILST029 respectively. The results obtained
from this study may contribute to the establishment of routine genotyping service of buffalo breeds for buffalo farmers for
animal forensic application in case of any dispute. Additionally this study may help for breed characterization and phylogeny
of aforementioned breeds of buffalo. 相似文献

Ten Greek sheep breeds were analysed at 28 microsatellite markers in order to estimate their genetic diversity and differentiation. This study aims to provide information on the genetic structure of the breeds analysed and the ancestral populations, and give indications and proposals for the conservation strategies. The breeds included were the local sheep breeds raised in different regions of Greece. In total, 310 animals were sampled. Non-biased average expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.68 ± 0.134 (Skopelos breed) to 0.76 ± 0.103 (Karagouniko breed) with an average of 0.74, while the average observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.626 ± 0.132 (Skopelos) to 0.74 ± 0.135 (Kefallenias). Estimates of inbreeding coefficient (Fis) were significant for all breeds studied, except for Kefallenias and Lesvos breeds (P < 0.05). The results of the phylogenetic relationships are in accordance with the geographical location of the breeds, the history of the origin of the breeds and the breeding practices. The phylogenetic tree showed three groupings according to the bootstrapping values. Correspondence analysis showed the isolation of the Skopelos breed and the grouping of Sfakia and Anogeiano breeds in a separate cluster. 相似文献

Nine sheep breeds or strains, including 615 individuals were screened with forced PCR RFLP method for the FecB gene to study the polymorphism and its effects on litter sizes, body weights and body sizes. Results show that the polymorphism frequencies of FecB gene are significantly imbalanced in these breeds or strains. The Hu sheep were all homozygous carriers (BB). In the Chinese Merino prolific meat strain, the genotype frequencies of BB, B+ and ++ are 51%, 30% and 19%, respectively, whereas all the other flocks had only the wild-type (++) genotype. Results within Chinese Merino prolific meat strain showed that mean litter sizes of ewes with genotype BB and B+ are 2.8 (+/-0.74) and 2.3 (+/-0.63) (P > 0.05), whereas ++ ewes had a litter size of only 1.2 (+/-0.68) (P < 0.01). At 90 days after birth, the body weights of BB/B+ lambs were higher than that of ++ lambs (18.6 +/- 3.70 kg, 18.0 +/- 3.71 kg versus 15.6 +/- 2.22 kg, P < 0.05). In addition, the heart girth and chest width of BB/B+ lambs were significantly longer than ++ lambs (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in either body weight or body size at day 120. Litter size at first lambing from Hu at Natural Source Conservative Region was found to be significantly higher than that from the other two regions sampled (P < 0.05). In addition to the additive effect on litter size, these findings show for the first time that the FecB gene had a positive effect on early postnatal body growth. 相似文献

The isolation and characterization of six polymorphic loci from a Testudo hermanni genomic library is reported. Enrichment was performed for AC but four of the characterized microsatellites present also an additional motif. Variability was tested on populations of the two recognized subspecies, Testudo hermanni hermanni and Testudo hermanni boettgeri. For one locus, a size range specific for the subspecies T. h. hermanni was observed. These are the first primers identified directly in the genome of T. hermanni 相似文献

Twenty-four polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for the double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus). The number of alleles ranged from two to 13 and observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.032 to 0.871. The use of these loci should enable researchers and biologists to learn more about the population structure and ecology of this species. 相似文献

? Premise of the study: Polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for Fosterella rusbyi (Bromeliaceae) to evaluate the population genetic structure and genetic diversity of natural populations of F. rusbyi and other Fosterella species in Bolivia. ? Methods and Results: 454 pyrosequencing technology was used to generate 73027 sequence reads from F. rusbyi DNA, which together contained 2796 perfect simple sequence repeats (SSRs). Primer pairs were designed for 30 loci, of which 15 were used to genotype 30 F. rusbyi plants from two geographical areas in Bolivia. All markers were polymorphic, with two to nine alleles in the overall sample. Cross-species amplification was tested in 10 additional Fosterella species. Seven loci showed consistent amplification in six or more species. ? Conclusions: The 15 SSR markers developed for F. rusbyi are promising candidates for population genetic analyses within F. rusbyi and other species of Fosterella. 相似文献
