Development of Polymorphic EST Markers Suitable for Genetic Linkage Mapping of Catfish

Expressed sequence tag (EST) markers are important for gene mapping and for marker-assisted selection (MAS). To develop EST markers for use in catfish gene mapping, 100 randomly picked complementary DNAs from the channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) pituitary library were sequenced. The EST sequences were used to design primers to amplify channel catfish and blue catfish (I. furcatus) genomic DNAs. Polymerase chain reaction products of the ESTs were analyzed to determine length polymorphism between the channel catfish and blue catfish. Eleven polymorphic EST markers were identified. Five of the 11 EST markers were from known genes and the other six were from unidentified ESTs. Seven ESTs were found to be associated with microsatellite sequences. Analysis of channel catfish gene sequences indicated highly biased codon usage, with 16 codons being preferably used. These codons were more preferably used in highly expressed ribosomal protein genes and in highly expressed pituitary hormone genes. G/C-rich codons are less used in channel catfish than those in other vertebrates suggesting AT-richness of the channel catfish genome. Received June 29, 1998; accepted March 29, 1999.     

黄颡鱼微卫星标记的筛选及三个野生群体的遗传结构分析

为了探明长江中上游流域黄颡鱼野生群体的遗传多样性状况和遗传结构,本研究采用磁珠富集法筛选出10个黄颡鱼微卫星标记,并利用其对长江中上游流域3个黄颡鱼(Pelteobagrus fulvidrac)野生群体(赤水群体、乐山群体、洞庭群体)的遗传结构进行分析。获得65个阳性克隆并测序,得到36个含有微卫星的序列,设计并合成了22对微卫星引物,经筛选得到10对多态性稳定的引物,其中高多态性位点6个,中多态位点3个。每对引物等位基因数2-9个,平均4.8。3个群体(赤水、乐山和洞庭)的平均多态信息含量(PIC)分别为0.5438、0.4568和0.3965,平均有效等位基因(Ne)分别为2.9928、2.5401和2.1713,平均期望杂合度(He)分别为0.6280、0.5277和0.4757,表明这3个群体遗传多样性水平较高,其中赤水群体遗传多样性最高,洞庭群体最低。种群分化指数(Fst)和遗传距离(Ds)分析表明,洞庭群体和乐山群体之间的亲缘关系最近,而与赤水群体的亲缘关系最远。聚类分析显示,乐山群体和洞庭群体聚为一支,赤水群体单独聚为一支。     

Isolation of Y- and X-linked SCAR markers in yellow catfish and application in the production of all-male populations

Sex controls have been performed in some farmed fish species because of significant growth differences between females and males. In yellow catfish ( Pelteobagrus fulvidraco ), adult males are three times larger than female adults. In this study, six Y- and X-linked amplified fragment length polymorphism fragments were screened by sex-genotype pool bulked segregant analysis and individual screening. Interestingly, sequence analysis identified two pairs of allelic genes, Pf33 and Pf62 . Furthermore, the cloned flanking sequences revealed several Y- and X-specific polymorphisms, and four Y-linked or X-linked sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) primer pairs were designed and converted into Y- and X-linked SCAR markers. Consequently, these markers were successfully used to identify genetic sex and YY super-males, and applied to all-male population production. Thus, we developed a novel and simple technique to help commercial production of YY super-males and all-male populations in the yellow catfish.

Development of Microsatellite Markers for Japanese Scallop (Mizuhopecten yessoensis) and Their Application to a Population Genetic Study

Abstract The Japanese scallop (Mizuhopecten yessoensis) is one of the main fishery products in Japan, but with the expansion of culture operations of the Japanese scallop, various problems have been encountered including high mortality, poor growth, poor seed production, and so on. Moreover, there is concern that many years of cultivation may have affected the genetic structure of the scallop population. To approach these problems and concerns, we developed microsatellite markers as a molecular tool for population genetic studies. By using 4 microsatellite markers as well as a mitochondrial marker, we investigated the genetic structure of samples from the islands of Hokkaido (14 populations) and Honshu (Tohoku, 3 populations) in Japan, and south Primorye (4 populations) in Russia. All the populations sampled had high genetic diversity (average expected heterozygosity, 0.7011 to 0.7622; haplotype diversity, 0.6090 to 0.8848), and almost all showed a tendency of homozygote excess, which was significant in 2 populations. Hierarchical analysis of molecular variance tests based on the microsatellite and mitochondrial markers indicated that the 3 geographic regions were genetically divergent from one another, with little evidence of divergence within regions. Homogeneity in allele frequency distributions between natural and cultured scallops and allele frequency stability over a period of 2 decades indicated that the culturing operations have probably not had a substantial effect on the genetic structure of the populations.

Characterization of the Genetic Diversity and Population Structure for the Yellow Cattle in Taiwan Based on Microsatellite Markers

In recent years, the population size of Taiwan yellow cattle has drastically declined, even become endangered. A preservation project, Taiwan Yellow Cattle Genetic Preservation Project (TYCGPP), was carried out at the Livestock Research Institute (LRI) Hengchun branch (1988–present). An analysis of intra- and inter- population variability was performed to be the first step to preserve this precious genetic resource. In this work, a total number of 140 individuals selected from the five Taiwan yellow cattle populations were analyzed using 12 microsatellite markers (loci). These markers determined the level of genetic variation within and among populations as well as the phylogenetic structure. The total number of alleles detected (122, 10.28 per locus) and the expected heterozygosity (0.712) indicated that these five populations had a high level of genetic variability. Bayesian cluster analysis showed that the most likely number of groups was 2 (K = 2). Genetic differentiation among clusters was moderate (F _ST = 0.095). The result of AMOVA showed that yellow cattle in Taiwan had maintained a high level of within-population genetic differentiation (91%), the remainder being accounted for by differentiation among subpopulations (4%), and by differentiation among regions (5%). The results of STRUCTURE and principal component analysis (PCA) revealed two divergent clusters. The individual unrooted phylogenetic tree showed that some Kinmen yellow cattle in the Hengchun facility (KMHC individuals) were overlapped with Taiwan yellow cattle (TW) and Taiwan yellow cattle Hengchun (HC) populations. Also, they were overlapped with Kinmen × Taiwan (KT) and Kinmen yellow cattle (KM) populations. It is possible that KMHC kept similar phenotypic characteristics and analogous genotypes between TW and KM. A significant inbreeding coefficient (F _IS = 0.185; P < 0.01) was detected, suggesting a medium level of inbreeding for yellow cattle in Taiwan. The hypothesis that yellow cattle in Taiwan were derived from two different clusters was also supported by the phylogenetic tree constructed by the UPGMA, indicating that the yellow cattle in Taiwan and in Kinmen should be treated as two different management units. This result will be applied to maintain a good level of genetic variability and rusticity (stress-resistance) and to avoid further inbreeding for yellow cattle population in Taiwan.     

微卫星标记对资源猪群的遗传分析和连锁图谱构建

在猪数量性状位点的定位研究中,标记的使用和图谱的构建是很重要的。本研究从猪的第4、6、7、8和13染色体上选取39个微卫星标记,在来源于约克夏和梅山214头猪组成的资源群中,分析了遗传特征并构建了图谱。研究表明,平均等位基因数、平均观察杂合度(Ho)和平均多态信息含量(PIC)在F1和F2代中分别为:3.2,0.528,0.463和3.2,0.496,0.447。结果表明大多数微卫星标记位点表现为中高度杂合性。在资源群体中,平均有信息减数分裂数是217.4(44-316),而各染色体上两性平均图谱的长度分别是:172.3cM(SSC4),168.7cM(SSC6),191.7cM(SSC7),197.3cM(SSC8),178.3cM(SSC13)。与USDA-MARC的参考图谱相比,标记位点的顺序相同,但长度均较长。雌雄两性图谱相比,第4和第6染色体上雌性图谱长于雄性图谱;而在另外3条染色体上,则雄性图谱长于雌性图谱。结果显示了标记位点在资源猪群的遗传特征和遗传关系,其连锁图谱可用于今后的QTL定位。

Seasonal and Sex-specific mRNA Levels of Key Endocrine Genes in Adult Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens) from Lake Erie

To better understand the endocrine mechanisms that underlie sexually dimorphic growth (females grow faster) in yellow perch (Perca flavescens), real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to measure pituitary, liver, and ovary mRNA levels of genes related to growth and reproduction-sex in this species. Adult perch were collected from Lake Erie and body mass, age, gonadosomatic index (I (G)), hepatosomatic index (I (H)), and gene expression for growth hormone (GH), prolactin, somatolactin, insulin-like growth factor Ib (IGF-Ib), estrogen receptor alpha (esr1), estrogen receptor betaa (esr2a), and aromatase (cyp19a1a) were measured. Females had higher body mass, I (H), and liver esr1 mRNA level than males, while males had higher liver IGF-Ib, liver esr2a, and liver cyp19a1a mRNA levels. In both sexes, season had a significant effect on GH and liver IGF-Ib mRNAs with higher levels occurring in spring, which also corresponded with higher liver cyp19a1a mRNA levels. For females, I (G), liver esr1, and ovary cyp19a1a mRNA levels were higher in autumn than the spring, and ovary cyp19a1a mRNA levels showed a significant negative correlation with pituitary GH and liver IGF-Ib mRNA levels.

Annual Variations of Gonadotropin Content and Ovarian Development of Feral Female Catfish, Silurus asotus, in Central China

The Japanese catfish Silurus asotus is widely distributed throughout the freshwaters reservoirs, lakes and rivers of China, Korea and Japan, and is a commercially valuable aquaculture fish in some regions of China and Japan. We studied seasonal variations of gonadotropin (GtH) content of the plasma and pituitary as well as ovarian development. Plasma GtH titres increase in April in the Pearl River and in May in the Liao River in central China. Annual cycles of plasma GtH levels in both rivers are the same, with a gradual decrease after ovulation with the lowest values observed in September (in the Liao River) or October (in the Pearl River). Plasma GtH levels increase gradually in the early stages of ovarian development, with the highest values observed during the late stages of development, and with the lowest GtH titres observed during ovarian regression in both rivers. GtH content of the pituitary remained very high through the spawning period, with the highest titres observed in March in the Liao River, and in July in the Pearl River. As with plasma GtH, the lowest concentrations of pituitary GtH were observed during stages when the ovary was regressed. We analyzed the relationships between plasma and pituitary GtH and reproductive conditions, such as gonadosomatic index (GSI), hepatosomatic index (HSI), oocyte diameter (OD) and oocyte weight (OW). The results indicate that annual changes of GtH content of the plasma and pituitary paralleled GSI, OD and OW, but were negatively correlated with HSI in feral female catfish.
