中国部分地方黄牛品种线粒体D-loop区的遗传变异与进化分析

测定了13个黄牛品种125个个体的线粒体D-loop区段的全序列,包括12个中国地方黄牛品种的123个个体和德国黄牛2个个体,并进行了分析。结果显示,共检测到93个变异位点,57个单倍型,平均核苷酸差异(average number ofnucleotide differences,k)为22.708,核苷酸多样度(nucleotide diversity,π)为0.0251±0.00479,单倍型多样度(haplotypediversity,Hd)为0.888±0.026,表明我国黄牛品种遗传多样性非常丰富。构建的Neighbor-Joining进化树显示这13个品种主要分成两大类型:普通牛和瘤牛;新发现的特殊类型Ⅲ只有一个西藏阿沛甲咂牛的个体,它与牦牛D-loop序列最相近,证明西藏地区的黄牛与牦牛之间存在基因渗入现象。普通牛和瘤牛在日喀则驼峰牛中占的比例分别是64.3%和35.7%,在阿沛甲咂牛中占的比例分别是50.0%和50.0%,证明了西藏的黄牛也有瘤牛类型。云南牛品种的单倍型非常丰富证明了云南在中国黄牛起源上的重要地位;在27个中国黄牛品种中(本研究11个品种以及GenBank上的16个品种)找到了中国瘤牛的核心单倍型i1,并且对它进行了讨论。同时证明了西藏瘤牛独立于中国瘤牛核心类群的特殊性。

采用FA0—ISAG联合推荐的27个微卫星DNA标记对56个中国地方猪品种和3个引进猪种(杜洛克猪、长白猪、大白猪)进行遗传多样性分析,通过计算等位基因频率、有效等位基因数、平均遗传杂合度、基因分化系数、多态信息含量和遗传距离并进行系统聚类分析,评估其种内遗传变异和种间遗传关系。以聚类结果为基础,将56个中国地方猪种分为12类：Ⅰ、Ⅱ和Ⅲ类都是《中国猪品种志》中的华北型猪种;Ⅳ类相当于其中的江海型猪种;Ⅴ、Ⅵ、Ⅶ、Ⅷ和Ⅸ类的品种大部分属于华中型;Ⅹ和Ⅺ类相当于华南型品种;Ⅻ类相当于西南型品种。提出保种场结合保护区是一种比较符合我国地方猪种实际状况的保种模式。研究结果可为我国地方猪种种质特性研究提供基础数据,为我国地方猪品种资源的合理保护和利用提供科学依据。     

中国部分黄牛品种mtDNA遗传多态性研究

对我国8个黄牛品种22个个体的mtDNA D-loop区910bp全序列进行了分析。结果表明：8个黄牛品种D-loop区序列中,A T平均含量为61．65％;经比对,共检测到66个核苷酸多态位点,约占核苷酸总数的7．25％;D-loop全序列突变类型有5种,即转换、颠换、插入、缺失及转换与颠换共存,它们分别占核苷酸多态位点的81．82％、6．06％、7．57％、3．03％及1．52％。以欧洲牛mtDNA D-loop全序列为标准,8个黄牛群体D-loop的平均核苷酸变异率分3个层次：西镇牛、蒙古牛、黑白花牛及秦川牛的核苷酸变异率最低,分别为0．37％、0．44％、0．52％和0．66％;南阳牛与郏县红牛的核苷酸变异率居中,分别为1．91％和2．02％;晋南牛与岳阳牛的核苷酸变异率最高,分别为4．47％和4．73％。中国黄牛品种内D-loop区序列歧异度为0．55％～5．39％,品种间序列歧异度为1．21％～6．59％。在所测黄牛个体中,mtDNA D-loop序列由19种单倍型组成,单倍型比例为86．36%,说明中国黄牛mtDNA遗传多态性很丰富。由此构建了中国8个黄牛品种的NJ分子系统树,聚类分析表明：所测黄牛的mtDNA D-loop序列表现为3个单倍型组,从而揭示中国黄牛可能有3个母系起源,以普通牛起源和瘤牛起源为主。     

Genetic Diversity and Structure of Two Prominent Zebu Cattle Breeds Adapted to the Arid Region of India Inferred from Microsatellite Polymorphism

This study aims to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of two major zebu dairy breeds (Tharparkar and Rathi) adapted to the arid region of Rajasthan state of India. Various variability estimates indicate the existence of sufficient within-breed genetic diversity. Mean estimates of F-statistics are significantly different from zero: F _IS = 0.112 ± 0.029, F _IT = 0.169 ± 0.033, F _ST = 0.065 ± 0.017. The overall positive value of F _IS (0.112) and an F _IT value (0.169) that is more than the F _ST (0.065) indicate departure from random mating. The drift-based estimates reflect a moderate yet significant level of breed differentiation between the Tharparkar and Rathi breeds. The evaluation of an exact test, showing that allele frequencies across all the loci differed significantly, supports the population differentiation. This is paralleled by the outcome of neighbor-joining clustering based on allele-sharing distance measures. The allocation of a high percentage of individuals (95.7%) to their population of origin and correspondence analysis further substantiates the existence of a cohesive genetic structure in both the breeds.     

Evaluation of Bovine High-Density SNP Genotyping Array in Indigenous Dairy Cattle Breeds

In total 52 samples of Sahiwal (19 Excoffier L, Laval G, Schneider S. Arlequin 3.01: An integrated software package for population genetics data analysis.

Identification of genomic differences between Hanwoo and Holstein breeds using the Illumina Bovine SNP50 BeadChip. Genomics Inform 2011; 9:69–73.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) were genotyped by using BovineHD SNP chip to analyze minor allele frequency (MAF), genetic diversity, and linkage disequilibrium among these cattle. The common SNPs of BovineHD and 54K SNP Chips were also extracted and evaluated for their performance. Only 40%?50% SNPs of these arrays was found informative for genetic analysis in these cattle breeds. The overall mean of MAF for SNPs of BovineHD SNPChip was 0.248?±?0.006, 0.241?±?0.007, and 0.242?±?0.009 in Sahiwal, Tharparkar and Gir, respectively, while that for 54K SNPs was on lower side. The average Reynold’s genetic distance between breeds ranged from 0.042 to 0.055 based on BovineHD Beadchip, and from 0.052 to 0.084 based on 54K SNP Chip. The estimates of genetic diversity based on HD and 54K chips were almost same and, hence, low density chip seems to be good enough to decipher genetic diversity of these cattle breeds. The linkage disequilibrium started decaying (r²?相似文献   

中国17个黄牛品种mtDNA变异特征与多态性分析

中国黄牛品种资源丰富,尚有28个地方固有品种.为了进一步深入了解这些宝贵遗传资源,本研究通过mtDNA变异特征与多态性分析揭示这些来自中国不同地域地方黄牛的母系起源与分子系统学特征.在17个品种84个体的mtDNA D-loop全序列中,一共检测到了102个核苷酸替代突变位.由此定义的53个单倍型被类聚为2个明显的单倍群：普通牛和瘤牛.mtDNA D-loop全序列变异的第一个特征是转换发生的频率远高于颠换;第二个特征是缺失与替代突变共存;第三个特征是缺失突变率比较高.所有D-loop全序列的核苷酸多样性和单倍型多样性分别为0.026 78±0.000 50和0.919±0.027.普通牛D-loop单倍型在北方牛种群中占有优势(80%～100%),而瘤牛单倍型在南方牛种群中占有优势(42.9%～100%),2种不同单倍型在中原牛种群中的分布也存在差异.2种不同单倍型在中国不同地域17个黄牛品种中的差异性分布揭示出了瘤牛mtDNA基因在中国黄牛中自南而北、由高到低的流动模式,这种基因流动模式的形成可能是由历史事件、地理隔离以及气候环境差异等造成的.     

用6个微卫星座位研究BMY牛和婆罗门牛的遗传多样性和群体遗传结构

 对6个牛微卫星座位的遗传变异及多态性分析,以期了解BMY牛和婆罗门牛的群体遗传结构与育成情况。6个微卫星座位的多态信息含量为在0.524～0.752间,BMY牛、婆罗门牛两个群体的平均期望杂合度和观察杂合度值接近,分别为0.737 6和0.739 6,0.641 2和0.653 7,进入横交固定第二世代的BMY牛期望杂合度值较高,这与我们的育种进展相符。红安格斯的期望杂合度较低(0.460 9)接近日本和牛0.471,暗示红安格斯牛的同质性较高。                       

中国黄牛mtDNA D-loop遗传多样性及起源

黄牛自古以来就是我国一个重要的畜种,其经济、文化价值很高。我国是世界上黄牛品种资源最丰富的国家之一。据《中国牛品种志》介绍,把一些地区同种异名的黄牛品种合并以后,尚有28个地方黄牛品种,按照其地理分布区域分为北方黄牛、中原黄牛和南方黄牛三大类型(邱怀,1986)。如果把中国地方黄牛品种分得更细,则有49个固有品种(常洪,1995)。关于中国黄牛的起源,历来有不同的观点。一般认为,中国黄牛是多元起源的,但究竟起源于哪几个牛种,观点不一(陈宏等,1993;于汝梁等,1993;Yu et al.,1999;陈幼春,1990)。主要的观点有:(1)中国黄牛主要起源于…     

Evaluation of Genetic Differentiation in Bos indicus Cattle Breeds from Marathwada Region of India Using Microsatellite Polymorphism

Elucidation of genetic variability and genetic relationship among breeds has direct relevance with the issues of sustainable use of domestic animal genetic resources. In the present study, genetic polymorphism was evaluated using 22 microsatellite loci in unrelated samples of Red Kandhari and Deoni cattle breeds inhabiting the same geographical area of Marathwada region in Maharashtra state (western India). This work was mainly aimed at assessing the current genetic diversity to understand whether the two zebu populations in question are genetically differentiated. A total of 164 alleles were detected with an average of 5.82 and 5.86 alleles per locus (MNA) in Red Kandhari and Deoni breeds, respectively. The estimated mean observed (Ho) and expected (He) heterozygosity were 0.47 and 0.64 in Red Kandhari vs. 0.57 and 0.69 in Deoni cattle, respectively, demonstrating considerable level of genetic variation in both the populations. Mean estimates of F statistics were: F (FIT) = 0.315±0.035, f(FIS) = 0.231±0.031, θ(FST) = 0.110±0.022, with both the breeds exhibiting significant deficit of heterozygotes (FIS = 0.179 in Deoni; 0.278 in Red Kandhari). The multilocus FST values implied that 11.0% of the total genetic variation corresponds to breed and were statistically greater than zero for the two populations, suggesting population division. The evaluation of exact test also indicated that allele frequencies across all the loci differed significantly (P < 0.001) between two zebu breeds, further supporting population differentiation. Different genetic distance measures showed considerable levels of distances between the two cattle breeds (0.318 = Nei's standard DS; 0.250 = Nei's DA; 0.416 = Cavalli-Sforza and Edwards's DC; 0.164 = Reynold's, and 2.64 = Delta mu square (dμ)2. Bayesian statistical approach to assign each individual to the population also supported considerable differentiation between the two cattle breeds, possibly reflecting the limited gene flow between the two Marthwada cattle populations. The existence of cohesive breeding structure of both the breeds was further substantiated by allele-sharing distance measures (DAS) among individual animals. The results of this study thus revealed that the two Bos indicus breeds sharing the common breeding tracts are genetically differentiated enough as separate breeds.     

平凉地方牛群体母系遗传背景

牛(Bos)的驯养作为农耕文化重要内容之一,在我国历史悠久,长久以来形成的役用型逐步被肉用型所替代.为了揭示平凉地方牛群体的遗传背景,分析其是否具有生产优质牛肉的遗传基础,本研究测定了88头平凉地方牛群体mtDNA D-loop HVS序列,对包括平凉地方牛群体在内的我国23个地方牛群体单倍型分布及系统发生关系进行了分析.结果表明,mtDNA D-loop高变区,在平凉地方牛群体共有52个单倍型,23个地方牛群体共有95个单倍型,这些单倍型在系统发生树和中介网络关系中分布于两个分枝,即瘤牛型和普通牛进化枝.因此,我们认为平凉地方牛群体和我国其他牛种一样,存在普通牛和瘤牛两个母系起源的遗传背景.     

Genetic Variants in SDC3 Gene are Significantly Associated with Growth Traits in Two Chinese Beef Cattle Breeds

Identification of the genes and polymorphisms underlying quantitative traits, and understanding these genes and polymorphisms affect economic growth traits, are important for successful marker-assisted selection and more efficient management strategies in commercial cattle (Bos taurus) population. Syndecan-3 (SDC3), a member of the syndecan family of type I transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycans is a novel regulator of feeding behavior and body weight. The aim of this study is to examine the association of the SDC3 polymorphism with growth traits in Chinese Jiaxian and Qinchuan cattle breeds (). Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs: 1–4) were detected in 555 cows from three Chinese native cattle breeds by means of sequencing pooled DNA samples and polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) methods. We found one SNP (g.28362A > G) in intron and three SNPs (g.30742T > G, g.30821C > T and 33418 A > G) in exons. The statistical analyses indicated that these SNPs of SDC3 gene were associated with bovine body height, body length, chest circumference, and circumference of cannon bone (P < 0.05). The mutant-type variant was superior for growth traits; the heterozygote was associated with higher growth traits compared to wild-type homozygote. Our result confirms the polymorphisms in the SDC3 gene are associated with growth traits that may be used for marker-assisted selection in beef cattle breeding programs.     

Comparative Study on the Genetic Diversity of GHR Gene in Tibetan Cattle and Holstein Cows

Due to the phenotype-based artificial selection in domestic cattle, the underlying functional genes may be indirectly selected and show decreasing diversity in theory. The growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene has been widely proposed to significantly associate with critical economic traits in cattle. In the present study, we comparatively studied the genetic diversity of GHR in Tibetan cattle (a traditional unselected breed, n = 93) and Chinese Holstein cow (the intensively selected breed, n = 94). The Tibetan yak (n = 38) was also included as an outgroup breed. A total of 21 variants were detected by sequencing 1279 bp genomic fragments encompassing the largest exon 9. Twelve haplotypes (H1～H12) constructed by 15 coding SNPs were presented as a star-like network profile, in which haplotype H2 was located at the central position and almost occupied by Tibetan yaks. Furthermore, H2 was also identical to the formerly reported sequence specific to African cattle. Only haplotype H5 was simultaneously shared by all three breeds. Tibetan cattle showed higher nucleotide diversity (0.00215 ± 0.00015) and haplotype diversity (0.678 ± 0.026) than Holstein cow. Conclusively, we found Tibetan cattle have retained relatively high genetic variation of GHR. The predominant presence of African cattle specific H2 in the outgroup yak breed would highlight its ancestral relationship, which may be used as one informative molecular marker in the phylogenetic studies.     

中国地方黄牛的遗传多样性*

中国黄牛起源复杂,我国地方黄牛群体不同品种在毛色、形态外貌、细胞遗传学、血液蛋白座位分析均表现出多样性。计算我国黄牛群体6个毛色座位平均杂合度和6个血液蛋白座位平均杂合度分别为0.3144和0.4873,表明我国地方黄牛群体的遗传多样性非常丰富。计算我国黄牛群体的6个毛色座位和6个血液蛋白座位的基因分化系数分别为0.3404和0.095,表明我国黄牛群体毛色差异中有34.04％是由品种间的差异造成的。血液蛋白的多态性有9.5％是由品种间的差异造成的。我国黄牛群体的遗传多样性主要来自品种内的遗传多样性。保存我国黄牛品种资源多样性不仅要从整个中国黄牛群体上考虑,而且要针对每个品种（或类群）进行保种。     

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.

中国地方黄牛的Y染色体遗传多样性及其进化起源

中国黄牛的进化起源与遗传多样性一直是国内外动物遗传学家感兴趣的课题之一.本文主要从Y染色体的形态多样性和Y染色体特异性微卫星标记遗传多态性两个方面对中国地方黄牛的遗传多样性和进化起源进行了综述.中国地方黄牛Y染色体具有中着丝粒、亚中着丝粒和近端着丝粒3种类型,这说明中国地方黄牛起源于普通牛和瘤牛.利用Y染色体特异性微卫星标记对中国地方黄牛Y染色体单倍型分布特征及Y染色体基因流模式的分析表明,北方种群中普通牛单倍型频率最高,瘤牛单倍型在南方种群中占优势;在中国不同地域,瘤牛Y染色体单倍型频率呈现自南而北、自东而西逐渐降低的趋势,这再次证实了中国黄牛主要来源于普通牛和瘤牛,这可能是这两类牛群在长期的历史进化过程中,分别从东南方向和西北方向进入我国,并在中原地区汇合的结果.本文为中国地方黄牛品种资源保护和杂交育种工作提供了参考依据.     

Evaluation of Genetic Diversity,Population Structure,and Relationship Between Legendary Vechur Cattle and Crossbred Cattle of Kerala State,India

The legendary Vechur cattle of Kerala, described as a very short breed, and the crossbred (CB) Sunandini cattle population exhibited great phenotypic variation; hence, the present study attempted to analyze the genetic diversity existing between them. A set of 14 polymorphic microsatellites were chosen from FAO-ISAG panel and amplified from genomic DNA isolated from blood samples of 30 Vechur and 64 unrelated crossbred cattle, using fluorescent labeled primers. Both populations revealed high genetic diversity as evidenced from high observed number of alleles, Polymorphic Information Content and expected heterozygosity. Observed heterozygosity was lesser (0.699) than expected (0.752) in Vechur population which was further supported by positive F_IS value of 0.1149, indicating slight level of inbreeding in Vechur population. Overall, F_ST value was 0.065, which means genetic differentiation between crossbred and Vechur population was 6.5%, indicating that the crossbred cattle must have differentiated into a definite population that is different from the indigenous Vechur cows. Structure analysis indicated that the two populations showed distinct differences, with two underlying clusters. The present study supports the separation between Taurine and Zebu cattle and throws light onto the genetic diversity and relationship between native Vechur and crossbred cattle populations in Kerala state.     

Genetic Structure and Differentiation of Three Chinese Indigenous Cattle Populations

Levels of genetic differentiation, gene flow, and genetic structure of three indigenous cattle populations (Luxi, Bohai, and Minnan) and two reference cattle populations (Chinese Holstein and Qinhai yak) in China were estimated using the information from 12 microsatellites, and 141 microsatellite alleles were identified. The mean number of alleles per locus ranged from 2.9005 in yak to 4.9722 in Holstein. The observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.5325 (yak) to 0.7719 (Holstein); 29 private alleles were detected. The global heterozygote deficit across all populations amounted to 58.5% (p < 0.001). The overall significant (p < 0.001) deficit of heterozygotes because of inbreeding within breeds amounted to 43.2%. The five cattle populations were highly differentiated (F _st = 26.9%, p < 0.001) at all loci. The heterozygote deficit within the population was highest in Luxi cattle and lowest in yak. The average number of effective migrants exchanged per generation was highest (1.149) between Luxi and Holstein, and lowest (0.509) between Luxi and yak. With the application of prior population information, cluster analysis achieved posterior probabilities from 91% to 98% of correctly assigning individuals to populations. Combining the information of cluster analysis, gene flow, and Structure analysis, the five cattle populations belong to three genetic clusters, a taurine (Luxi and Chinese Holstein), a zebu (Bohai and Minnan), and a yak cluster. This indicates that Bohai black is closer to Bos indicus than Luxi cattle. The evolution and development of three indigenous cattle populations are discussed.     

贵州黄牛mtDNA D-loop 遗传多样性研究

对贵州4个地方黄牛品种共计82个个体的线粒体DNA D-loop区全序列910 bp进行分析,检测到31种单倍型,其核苷酸多态位点65个,约占所测核苷酸总长的7.14%,其中有62个转换,2个颠换,1个转换/颠换共存。贵州4个黄牛品种mtDNA D-loop区核苷酸多样度（π值）为2.16%～2.61%,单倍型多样度（H）为0.695～0.909,表明贵州黄牛mtDNA遗传多样性比较丰富。根据单倍型构建了贵州4个黄牛品种的NJ分子系统树。聚类表明,贵州黄牛有普通牛和瘤牛2大母系起源,其影响较为均一。并探讨了用核苷酸多样度π值的大小来衡量黄牛群体遗传分化程度的可行性。
