人的Y染色体异染色质与形态生理学变异

对55名Y染色体具有形态上相同的、异染色质几乎全部缺失的男性和55名Y染色体正常的男性进行了80项形态生理学性状的研究。发现在这两个组之间大部分性状的平均值并无显著性差异,但有些血液学指标有显著差异。用模式认辨法确定出20个性状的组合可以区分这两个组,其认辨误差为4.6%。认辨系统包括的有价值的性状为心电图指标(占性状的25%)、某些人类学指标、血液学指标和个体年龄。结果表明,Y染色体异染色质可能在人的个体发育过程中对形态生理学性状间的表型关系起一种修饰作用。     

玉米花粉单倍体植株染色体上异染色质的变异

我们用Giemsa BSG C-带技术检查了玉米花药培养获得的花粉单倍体植株根尖细胞染色体上异染色质的变异,观察结果表明,有的植株所显示的C-带数目是与供体植株的相一致,有的植株所显示的C-带数目则发生了显著变化,其中有的增加,有的减少。并讨论了异染色质发生变异的可能原因。还相应地观察到间期核中染色中心的变化是与中期染色体上C-带数目的变化相一致。

毛冠鹿种内异染色质变化与染色体多态

采用原代和传代培养方法对8头毛冠鹿(Elaphodus cephalophus)的皮肤细胞进行了染色体研究,发现了一种核型与以前所报道的几种核型不一致,确定为一新核型。在该核型中,染色体众数2n=47,2条X染色体异型,一条为端着丝粒,另一条为近端着丝粒。C-带显示该核型中异染色质除了分布在2条X染色体长臂中之外,在第一对大的端着丝粒染色体中的一条近着丝粒区出现一异染色质“柄”。结合C-带及薄层扫描结果对毛冠鹿种内常染色体、性染色体中异染色质的含量和分布与染色体多态的关系进行了探讨。     

COMPARATIVE GENOMIC AND POPULATION GENETIC ANALYSES INDICATE HIGHLY POROUS GENOMES AND HIGH LEVELS OF GENE FLOW BETWEEN DIVERGENT HELIANTHUS SPECIES

While speciation can be found in the presence of gene flow, it is not clear what impact this gene flow has on genome- and range-wide patterns of differentiation. Here we examine gene flow across the entire range of the common sunflower, H. annuus , its historically allopatric sister species H. argophyllus and a more distantly related, sympatric relative H. petiolaris . Analysis of genotypes at 26 microsatellite loci in 1015 individuals from across the range of the three species showed substantial introgression between geographically proximal populations of H. annuus and H. petiolaris , limited introgression between H. annuus and H. argophyllus , and essentially no gene flow between the allopatric pair, H. argophyllus and H. petiolaris. Analysis of sequence divergence levels among the three species in 1420 orthologs identified from EST databases identified a subset of loci showing extremely low divergence between H. annuus and H. petiolaris and extremely high divergence between the sister species H. annuus and H. argophyllus , consistent with introgression between H. annuus and H. petiolaris at these loci. Thus, at many loci, the allopatric sister species are more genetically divergent than the more distantly related sympatric species, which have exchanged genes across much of the genome while remaining morphologically and ecologically distinct.     

Specific cytogenetic labeling of bovine spermatozoa bearing X or Y chromosomes using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH)

X and Y specific probes were identified in order to apply the fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique to bovine spermatozoa. For Y chromosome detection, the BRY4a repetitive probe, covering three quarters of the chromosome, was used. For X chromosome detection, a goat Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) specific to the X chromosome of bovine and goats and giving a strong FISH signal was used. Each probe labeled roughly 45% of sperm cells. The hybridization method will be useful for evaluating the ratio of X- and Y- bearing spermatozoa in a sperm sample and consequently can be used to evaluate the efficiency of sperm sorting by different techniques such as flow cytometry.     

Fluorescence in situ hybridization using an old world monkey Y chromosome specific probe combined with immunofluorescence staining on rhesus monkey tissues.

To date, there is no commercially available Y chromosome probe that can be used for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for the male rhesus monkey. We have recently generated a probe for FISH with high specificity to the short arm of the rhesus monkey Y chromosome. In this study, we further describe a method that keeps the integrity of tissue-specific antigenic structures for immunofluorescence staining subsequent to FISH on paraffin-embedded rhesus monkey tissues. We have examined this technique in combination with an epithelial cell-specific marker, cytokeratin 8/18 (CK8/18), on various tissues, including jejunum, liver, kidney, and pancreas. CK8/18 and Y chromosome signals were distinctly seen simultaneously on epithelial cells from the same tissue section from male but not female monkeys. These studies indicate that our FISH immunofluorescence technique can be reliably used to identify and phenotype male cells in paraffin-embedded rhesus monkey tissues.     

In situ amplification of DNA fragments specific for human Y chromosome in cellular nuclei by PCR

Using single primer pairs Y3 and Y4, in siru polymerase chain reaction (in situ PCR) was successfully performed on the specimen slides of peripheral leukocytes. By both of the direct digpxiginin-11-dUTP incorporation into PCR products with in situ PCR (direct in situ PCR) and in situ PCR followed by detection of in situ hybridization (indirect in siru PCR), DNA fragments specific for human Y chromosome were obviously amplified in cellular nuclei of specimens on the slides. The results were verified by Southern analysis. The methodology of in situ PCR and its application were discussed.

荧光原位杂交(FISH)是在染色体、间期核和DNA纤维上定位特定DNA序列的一种有效而精确的分子细胞遗传学方法。20年来,植物荧光原位杂交技术发展迅速:以增加检测的靶位数为目的,发展了双色FISH、多色FISH和多探针FISH鸡尾酒技术;为增加很小染色体目标的检测灵敏度,发展了BAC-FISH和酪胺信号放大FISH(TSA-FISH)等技术;以提高相邻杂交信号的空间分辨力为主要目的,发展了高分辨的粗线期染色体FISH、间期核FISH、DNA纤维FISH和超伸展的流式分拣植物染色体FISH技术。在植物基因组分析中,FISH技术发挥了不可替代的重要作用,它可用于:物理定位DNA序列,并为染色体的识别提供有效的标记;对相同DNA序列进行比较物理定位,探讨植物基因组的进化;构建植物基因组的物理图谱;揭示特定染色体区域的DNA分子组织;分析间期核中染色质的组织和细胞周期中染色体的动态变化;鉴定植物转基因。
