Diversity Suppression-Subtractive Hybridization Array for Profiling Genomic DNA Polymorphisms

Genomlc DNA polymorphlsms are very useful for tracing genetic traits end studying biological diversity among species. Here, we present a method we call the ＂diversity suppresslon-subtractlve hybridization array＂ for effectively profiling genomlc DNA polymorphisms. The method first obtains the subtracted gDNA fragments between any two species by suppression subtraction hybridization （SSH） to establish e subtracted gDNA library, from which diversity SSH arrays are created with the selected subtracted clones. The diversity SSH array hybridizes with the DIG-labeled genomlc DNA of the organism to be assayed. Six closely related Dendrobium species were studied as model samples. Four Dendrobium species as testers were used to perform SSH. A total of 617 subtracted positive clones were obtained from four Dendrobium species, and the average ratio of positive clones was 80.3%. We demonstrated that the average percentage of polymorphlc fragments of palrwlse comparisons of four Dendrobium species was up to 42.4%. A dendrogram of the relatedness of six Dendrobium species was produced according to their polymorphic profiles. The results revealed that the diversity SSH array Is a highly effective platform for profiling genomlc DNA polymorphlsms and dendrograms.

Satellite DNA from Xenopus laevis: comparative analysis of 745 and 1037 base pair Hind III tandem repeats.

Highly repetitive Hind III restriction fragments of 0.72-0.76 KBP from total Xenopus laevis genomic DNA are organized in a tandem like arrangement. Cloning of these fragments in pBR 322 with subsequent restriction site mapping and nucleotide sequence analysis of some selected clones showed two different types of sequences. 25-30% of material represent the oocyte specific 5 S DNA repeat units, 70-75% are similar to the recently described repeat elements of satellite 1 DNA. Hybridization of a genomic DNA library to such a 745 BP monomeric repeat unit and investigation of some clones with positive autoradiographic signals revealed structural heterogeneities of repeat elements, in that the 745 BP sequence cross-hybridized with 1037 BP Hind III repeat units. Nucleotide sequence analysis demonstrated that the two types of sequences show a homology of 84.3% and that the 1037 BP sequence additionally contains duplicated elements of the 745 BP sequence as well as apparently unrelated DNA sequences.     

一种基于线性DNA片段同源重组的嗜盐古菌高效基因敲除系统

随着功能基因组学研究的深入发展,基因敲除技术日益成为基因功能研究的重要手段。嗜盐古菌Haloferax volcanii易于培养,是研究古菌基因功能的良好模式菌株。虽然现已开发了多种嗜盐古菌的遗传操作系统,但基因敲除成功率不十分理想。这些遗传操作方法基于pyrE筛选标记,利用携带同源片段的环状质粒与基因组同源片段间的两次同源重组,敲除目的基因。由于基于环状质粒和pyrE筛选标记的经典同源重组敲除方法在二次重组时,普遍存在回复到野生型菌株的可能,导致二次重组子中敲除目的基因的阳性菌株比例较低。为了克服传统同源重组技术的上述缺陷,文章建立了基于线性DNA片段的同源重组技术。该方法通过一次重组在目标基因的下游引入一段上游同源片段和pyrE标记,从而限定二次重组的发生部位只能在两段上游同源片段之间,发生二次重组的重组子理论上都敲除了目标基因。利用该方法,文章成功敲除了嗜盐古菌Haloferax volcanii的xpd2基因,阳性克隆率达65%。这种线性DNA片段重组法为嗜盐古菌的基因敲除提供了一种高效策略,便于嗜盐古菌的基因改造。

Sperm cells as vectors for introducing foreign DNA into eggs: genetic transformation of mice

Mature mouse sperm cells incubated in an isotonic buffer with cloned DNA capture DNA molecules over a 15 min period. Spermatozoa incubated with pSV2CAT plasmid in either circular or linear form were used to fertilize mouse eggs in vitro. Sequences complementary to pSV2CAT were identified in approximately 30% of 250 progeny by Southern blotting. A genomic library was constructed from the DNA of a positive mouse. Three positive clones were identified and two adjacent HincII restriction fragments of 240 and 370 bp showed identical sequences to the corresponding fragments of the pSV2CAT plasmid. F1 progeny showed paternal and maternal transmission of the transgenes from founders. CAT gene expression was detected on tissues of adult F1 individuals, preferentially on tails and muscle. We conclude that transgenic mice can be obtained using sperm cells as foreign DNA vectors.     

A Modified Enrichment Method to Construct Microsatellite Library from Plateau Pika Genome （Ochotona curzoniae）

A microsatellite-enriched library of plateau pika(Ochotona curzoniae)was constructed according to the strong affinity between biotin and streptavidin.Firstly,genomic DNA was fragmented by ultrasonication,which is a major improvement over traditional methods.Linker-ligated DNA fragments were hybridized with biotinylated microsatellite probes,and then were subjected to streptavidin-coated magnetic beads.PCR amplification was performed to obtain double-stranded DNA fragments containing microsatellites.Ligation and transformation were carried out by using the pGEM-T Vector System Ⅰ and Escherichia coli DH10B competent cells.Sequencing results showed that 80.2% of clones contained microsatellite repeat motif.Several modifications make this protocol time-efficient and technically easier than the traditional ones; particularly,composition and relative abundance of microsatellite repeats in plateau pika genome were truly represented through the optimized PCR conditions.This method has also been successfully applied to construct microsatellite-enriched genomic libraries of Chinese hamster(Cricetulus griseus)and small abalone[Haliotis diversicolor(Reeve)]with high rates of positive clones,demonstrating its feasibility and stability.
