CHARACTERIZATION OF GENETIC MARKERS LINKED TO SEX DETERMINATION IN THE HAPLOID‐DIPLOID RED ALGA GRACILARIA CHILENSIS1

Bulk segregant analysis, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), and sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) methods were used to identify sex‐linked molecular markers in the haploid‐diploid rhodophyte Gracilaria chilensis C. J. Bird, McLachlan et E. C. Oliveira. One hundred and eighty 10 bp primers were tested on three bulks of DNA: haploid males, haploid females, and diploid tetrasporophytes. Three RAPD primers (OPD15, OPG16, and OPN20) produced male‐specific bands; and one RAPD primer (OPD12), a female‐specific band. The sequences of the cloned putative sex‐specific PCR fragments were used to design specific primers for the female marker SCAR‐D12‐386 and the male marker SCAR‐G16‐486. Both SCAR markers gave unequivocal band patterns that allowed sex and phase to be determined in G. chilensis. Thus, all the females presented only the female band, and all the males only the male band, while all the tetrasporophytes amplified both male and female bands. Despite this sex‐specific association, we were able to amplify SCAR‐D12‐386 and SCAR‐G16‐486 in both sexes at low melting temperature. The differences between male and female sequences were of 8%–9% nucleotide divergence for SCAR‐D12‐386 and SCAR‐G16‐486, respectively. SCAR‐D12‐386 and SCAR‐G16‐486 could represent degenerated or diverged sequences located in the nonrecombining region of incipient sex chromosomes or heteromorphic sex chromosomes with sequence differences at the DNA level such that PCR primers amplify only one allele and not the other in highly specific PCR conditions. Seven gametic progenies composed of 19 males, 19 females, and the seven parental tetrasporophytes were analyzed. In all of them, the two SCAR markers segregated perfectly with sexual phenotypes.     

芦笋雌性特异性片段的克隆和分析(简报)

芦笋(Asparagus officinalis L.)又名石刁柏、龙须菜,系雌雄异株宿根性植物,是重要的经济作物之一。芦笋的性染色体为一对同形的L5染色体,雌性的性染色体为XX,雄性的性染色体为XY。性别决定的多态性是由位于一对L5性染色体上的一个显性基因M决定的[1-3],雌株基因型为隐性纯合子mm,雄株为显性纯合子MM(又称超雄株)或杂合子Mm。在生产上,由于雄株比雌株高产25%以上[4],并具有极强的抗病性和生命力,故雄株特别是超雄株则倍受生产者的青睐,但芦笋雌雄鉴定只有等到种植的第二年待植株开花时才能进行,这就严重影响了芦笋的有目的种植和经济效…

Recombinant bovine interferon alpha causes only a temporary prolongation of the lifespan of the corpus luteum

Abstract

A method is described for developing a sheep‐ vs. goat‐specific DNA marker using sequence characterized amplified regions (SCARs) derived from a random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker from sheep DNA samples. A sheep 645 bp DNA fragment that was absent in goat DNA was identified by analyzing pools of sheep and goat DNA with RAPD primers. This fragment was cloned and partially sequenced to design extended, strand‐specific 24‐mer oligonucleotide primers. Each primer contained the original 10 bases of the RAPD primer and the following 14 internal bases. The pair of primers resulted in the amplification of a single band of 645 bp when used to amplify sheep DNA, and in no amplification when used to amplify goat DNA. These SCAR primers successfully amplified the equivalent of DNA from one nucleated sheep cell in a sample of 5000 nucleated goat cells. This level of sensitivity is especially desirable for research involving the detection of interspecific chimerism.

Evaluation of genetic diversity of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Clinacanthus nutans</Emphasis> (Acanthaceaea) using RAPD,ISSR and RAMP markers

Three polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques were compared to analyse the genetic diversity of Clinacanthus nutans eight populations in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia. The PCR techniques were random amplified polymorphic deoxyribonucleic acids (RAPD), inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) and random amplified microsatellite polymorphisms (RAMP). Leaf genomic DNA was PCR amplified using 17 RAPD, 8 ISSR and 136 RAMP primers . However, only 10 RAPD primers, 5 ISSR primers and 37 RAMP primers produced reproducible bands. The results were evaluated for polymorphic information content (PIC), marker index (MI) and resolving power (RP). The RAMP marker was the most useful marker compared to RAPD and ISSR markers because it showed the highest average value of PIC (0.25), MI (11.36) and RP (2.86). The genetic diversity showed a high percentage of polymorphism at the species level compared to the population level. Furthermore, analysis of molecular variance revealed that the genetic diversity was higher within populations, as compared to among populations of C. nutans. From the results, the RAMP technique was recommended for the analysis of genetic diversity of C. nutans.     

Utilization of DNA marker-assisted selection in Korean native animals

The recent progress of DNA technologies including DNA fingerprinting (DFP) and random amplified DNA polymorphism (RAPD) analysis make it possible to identify the specific genetic traits of animals and to analyze the genetic diversity and relatedness between or within species or populations. Using those techniques, some efforts to identify and develop the specific DNA markers based on DNA polymorphism, which are related with economic traits for Korean native animals, Hanwoo (Korean native cattle), Korean native pig and Korean native chicken, have been made in Korea for recent a few years. The developed specific DNA markers successfully characterize the Korean native animals as the unique Korean genetic sources, distinctively from other imported breeds. Some of these DNA markers have been related to some important economic traits for domestic animals, for example, growth rate and marbling for Hanwoo, growth rate and back fat thickness for native pig, and growth rate, egg weight and egg productivity for native chicken. This means that those markers can be used in important marker-assisted selection (MAS) of Korean native domestic animals and further contribute to genetically improve and breed them.     

DNA marker mining of ILSTS035 microsatellite locus on chromosome 6 of Hanwoo cattle

We describe tests for detecting and locating quantitative trait loci (QTL) for traits in Hanwoo cattle. From results of a permutation test to detect QTL for marbling, we selected the microsatellite locus ILSTS035 on chromosome 6 for further analysis. K-means clustering analysis applied to five traits and nine DNA markers in ILSTS035 resulted in three cluster groups. Finally we employed the bootstrap test method to calculate confidence intervals using the resampling method to find major DNA markers. We conclude that the major markers of ILSTS035 locus on chromosome 6 of Hanwoo cattle are markers 235 bp and 266 bp.     

与棱果沙棘性别相关的RAPD标记

应用RAPD技术筛选与棱果沙棘性别相关的分子标记,对棱果沙棘雌雄株的基因组DNA进行混合分组分析（BSA）,在194条随机引物中有50条引物能够在雌雄DNA反应池间形成多态性条带,应用这50条引物分别对棱果沙棘雌雄个体（雌雄个体各选取5个）进行RAPD分析,其中引物S10扩增得到1个约为1030 bp的与雌性相关的RAPD标记。该标记的获得进一步表明棱果沙棘雌雄株间存在基因水平的差异,为棱果沙棘的性别研究提供分子依据。进一步利用该雌性特异位点设计出更加稳定的SCAR标记,可望用于棱果沙棘的早期性别的准确鉴别。     

Male-specific band in random amplified microsatellite polymorphism fingerprints of Holstein cattle

A total of 65 blood samples collected from Holstein cattle were employed for DNA extraction. Genomic DNA were amplified by means of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). One hundred and one random primers (Operon kits OPAA, OPAO, OPAV, OPC, OPE and OPA-06) were used for polymerase chain reactions (PCR). The PCR products were size fractionated by means of electrophoresis in agarose gel, transferred to a nylon membrane, and then hybridized with a alpha-32P-labeled microsatellite probe for random amplified microsatellite polymorphism (RAMPO) analysis. All the primers produced many amplification patterns in RAMPO fingerprints, but only OPE-01 (5'-CCCAAGGTCC-3') yielded a male-specific strong signal. Among the 65 cases, the specific band could be observed in the RAMPO fingerprints of the 24 male samples but not in the 41 female samples. Therefore, this specific band is peculiar to male cattle.     

异源四倍体鲫鲤及其原始亲本遗传变异的微卫星标记分析

采用从鲤中分离出来的32对微卫星DNA标记,对异源四倍体鲫鲤、红鲫和野鲤的基因组DNA进行了研究。在筛选出的15对微卫星引物中,随引物不同,各等位基因数为1～8个,大小在100～420bp之间。从3个不同群体内部的遗传相似系数来看,异源四倍体鲫鲤个体之间的遗传相似系数最大,说明异源四倍体鲫鲤群体内部的遗传变异程度最低,已经形成了一个遗传性状稳定的群体。从3个不同群体之间的遗传相似系数来看,异源四倍体鲫鲤和红鲫遗传相似系数为0．5625,和野鲤的遗传相似系数为0．5125,说明异源四倍体鲫鲤接受原始母本的遗传物质比原始父本野鲤要多一些。微卫星标记与以前报道的RAPD标记的检测结果是相似的,然而由微卫星标记获得的种群内和种群间的遗传距离均大于RAPD,说明微卫星标记比RAPD标记显示出更高的个体多态性。     

谭清苏铁性别连锁的RAPD和SCAR分子标记

利用RAPD(Random amplified polymorphicDNA)分子标记技术,寻找谭清苏铁(Cycas tanqingii)中与性别相关的分子标记,筛选了160个10bp的随机引物,产生了2500多个RAPD条带。只有引物S0465(CCCCGGTAAC)产生了一条大约500bp的雌性特异RAPD标记,该分子标记出现在所有的供试雌性植株中,而所有的供试雄性植株都不具有该标记。对该特异片段进行了克隆和序列测定,并根据序列分析结果将RAPD标记转化为重复性和特异性更好的特异特征序列扩增区域(SCAR)分子标记,并命名为STQC-S465-483。分子标记的建立可用于谭清苏铁幼苗性别的早期鉴定,为谭清苏铁就地保护和迁地保护提供技术支持。     

Characterization of Zebu cattle breeds in Tanzania using random amplified polymorphic DNA markers

A total of 141 short primers, of arbitrary nucleotide sequence, were used singly in poly-merase chain reactions to amplify DNA fingerprints in pools of DNA representing three Zebu cattle breeds. Two primers, which discriminated between the breed-specific DNA pools were used further to amplify individual pool components in order to establish band frequencies of the amplified fingerprints. One of the primers (ILO 1127) amplified a RAPD fingerprint in 61%of TSZ animals but less than 6% in the other breeds, while another primer (ILO 1065) revealed a DNA sequence common to 89% of the Boran animals and less than 30% in the other two breeds. Bandsharing and mean average percentage difference calculated within and between the three breeds using RAPD fingerprint data showed a higher degree of homogeneity within than across the breeds and indicated measurable divergence between the three breeds. It is concluded that RAPD polymorphisms are useful as genetic markers for cattle breed differentiation.     

A sex-associated sequence identified by RAPD screening in gynogenetic individuals of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)

Understanding the genetic basis of sex determination mechanisms is essential for improving the productivity of farmed aquaculture fish species like turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). In culture conditions turbot males grow slower than females starting from eight months post-hatch, and this differential growth rate is maintained until sexual maturation is reached, being mature females almost twice as big as males of the same age. The goal of this study was to identify sex-specific DNA markers in turbot using comparative random amplified polymorphism DNA (RAPD) profiles in males and females to get new insights of the genetic architecture related to sex determination. In order to do this, we analyzed 540 commercial 10-mer RAPD primers in male and female pools of a gynogenetic family because of its higher inbreeding, which facilitates the detection of associations across the genome. Two sex-linked RAPD markers were identified in the female pool and one in the male pool. After the analysis of the three markers on individual samples of each pool and also in unrelated individuals, only one RAPD showed significant association with females. This marker was isolated, cloned and sequenced, containing two sequences, a microsatellite (SEX01) and a minisatellite (SEX02), which were mapped in the turbot reference map. From this map position, through a comparative mapping approach, we identified Foxl2, a relevant gene related to initial steps of sex differentiation, and Wnt4, a gene related with ovarian development, close to the microsatellite and minisatellite markers, respectively. The position of Foxl2 and Wnt4 was confirmed by linkage mapping in the reference turbot map.     

Linkage analysis of er-1, a recessive Pisum sativum gene for resistance to powdery mildew fungus (Erysiphe pisi D.C.)

Linkage analysis was used to determine the genetic map location of er-1, a recessive gene conditioning resistance to powdery mildew, on the Pisum sativum genome. Genetic linkage was demonstrated between er-1 and linkage group 6 markers after analyzing the progeny of two crosses, an F₂ population and a set of recombinant inbred lines. The classes of genetic markers surrounding er-1 include RFLP, RAPD and allozyme markers as well as the morphological marker Gty. A RAPD marker tightly linked to er-1 was identified by bulked segregant analysis. After DNA sequence characterization, specific PCR primers were designed to convert this RAPD marker into a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR).     

Search for retroviral related DNA polymorphisms using RAPD PCR in schizophrenia

Random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is widely used to detect polymorphisms in many organisms. Individual (or strain) specific amplified bands are generated with single or pairs of primers in PCR reactions and can serve as genetic markers. We have used this method to generate a large number of reproducible bands with single primers, random and retroviral related, on 92 human DNA samples. Theoretically, RAPD PCR presents a logical approach for assessing variability among individuals. We used ten retroviral related primers (12, 20 and 22 bp) and eight random primers (10 bp) to assess individual differences in the context of testing the retroviral hypothesis for schizophrenia. Three pairs of discordant monozygotic twins, four pairs of discordant full sibs and 53 schizophrenic individuals with 25 of their unrelated matched controls were analyzed. Ten of these primers resulted in a total of approx. 850 amplified bands (65-110 bands per primer). Almost all of these bands were identical among each individual analyzed. However, the results are inconclusive with respect to the retroviral hypothesis for schizophrenia. The general lack of RAPD polymorphism in this study may argue for mechanisms other than rearrangements such as inversions, associated with the evolution of the human genome.     

Identification of a conserved microsatellite site in the porcine and bovine insulin-like growth factor-I gene 5'' flank

Examination of published rat and human sequences for the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene indicated the presence of CA dinucleotide repeats in corresponding segments of each. Presence of similar microsatellite sequences in the porcine and bovine IGF-I genes was hypothesized. A 1200-bp segment upstream of the porcine and bovine IGF-I genes was amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primers developed from a consensus of human, rat and bovine sequences. Both porcine and bovine PCR products contained similar microsatellite sequences. Amplified pIGF-I DNA was cloned and sequenced, and an additional primer was developed specifically for microsatellite marker detection. Six allelic variants of 124, 130, 132, 134, 136 or 138 bp were observed in pigs with differing frequencies between breeds (P < 0.01). The same primers were used to amplify the corresponding bovine microsatellite. Three alleles of 126, 128 and 130 bp were observed in a genetically diverse cattle population with estimated frequencies of 0.06, 0.68 and 0.26, respectively. Results of this study indicate sequence information from the human and laboratory species can be used to facilitate genetic marker development in livestock species.

Identification of SCAR marker linking to longer frond length of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Saccharina japonica</Emphasis> (Laminariales,Phaeophyta) using bulked-segregant analysis

To construct a molecular-marker-assisted selection (MAS) system, research was done on identifying molecular markers linking to longer frond length, a crucial selection index in the breeding of the commercially important seaweed Saccharina japonica. An F₂-segregant population of 92 individuals was obtained by crossing two prominent S. japonica strains. Genomic DNA from ten individuals with the longest frond and ten individuals with the shortest frond in the F₂-segregant population were mixed to create two DNA pools for screening polymorphic markers. In bulked-segregant analysis (BSA), out of 100 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers only two produced three polymorphic RAPD markers between the two DNA pools. In conversion of the three RAPD markers into sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers, only one was successfully converted into a SCAR marker FL-569 linking to the trait of longer frond. Test of the marker FL-569 showed that 80% of the individuals with longest fronds in a wild population and 87.5% of individuals with the longest fronds in an inbred line “Zhongke No. 2” could be detected by FL-569. Additionally, genetic linkage analysis showed that the SCAR marker could be integrated into the reported genetic map and QTL mapping showed that FL-569 linking to qL1-1. The obtained marker FL-569 will be beneficial to MAS in S. japonica breeding.
