The goal of this study was to identify and map genes expressed during the elongation phase of embryogenesis in swine. Expressed sequence tags were analysed from a previously described porcine cDNA library prepared from elongating swine embryos. Average insert length of randomly selected clones was approximately 600 bp, with a range from < 100 to > 2500 bp. Single-pass, coding strand sequences from 1132 independent clones were compared with the GenBank non-redundant (nr) database via BLASTN analysis to identify potential porcine homologous of known genes. Among these sequences, 781 (69%) showed significant (score > 300) homology to non- mitochondrial sequences previously deposited in GenBank. Sequences matching interleucin 1 beta and thymosin beta 10 were most frequently observed (24 and 18 clones, respectively), in addition to matches with 310 other distinct genes. No significant match in the GenBank nr database was obtained for 303 sequences. Analysis demonstrated that 151 (50%) had open reading frames (ORF) extending at least 50 codons from the first base of the clone insert. Genetic markers were developed and used to map a subset of 17 genes, selected on the basis of function or of the ability to design primers that successfully amplified porcine genomic DNA, to 10 different porcine chromosomes, providing a set of mapped markers corresponding to genes expressed during conceptus elongation. 相似文献

A bovine/hamster hybrid cell panel consisting of 30 independent hybrids was developed to locate genes. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of 279 microsatellites on the cattle linkage map in this panel revealed the presence of all chromosomes in either entire or fragmented form. Among primer pairs prepared from bovine 3'-expressed sequence tags (ESTs), 1400 ESTs were assigned to specific chromosomes, of which 1303 were newly assigned in this study, and mapped 854 (61%) to 1 of 192 chromosomal segments using this panel. The regional mapping of new genes to cattle chromosomes can be rapidly achieved using this panel. 相似文献

This is the first report of a systematic study of genes expressed by means of expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis in oil palm, a species of the Arecales order, a phylogenetically key clade of monocotyledons that is not widely represented in the sequence databases. Five different cDNA libraries were generated from male and female inflorescences, shoot apices and zygotic embryos and unidirectional systematic sequencing was performed. A total of 2411 valid EST sequences were thus obtained. Cluster analysis enabled the identification of 209 groups of related sequences and 1874 singletons. Putative functions were assigned to 1252 of the set of 2083 non-redundant ESTs obtained. The EST database described here is a first step towards gene discovery and cDNA array-based expression analysis in oil palm. 相似文献

Expressed sequence tags for Persea americana Mill. were investigated to expand upon the number of informative microsatellite markers available for avocado. Seventy informative loci were discovered using 24 P. americana var. americana Mill. accessions. The number of alleles detected ranged from two to 17 and averaged 7.1 alleles per locus. These primers successfully amplified products in different varieties of P. americana, hybrids and a related species, Persea schiedeana. These primers will be useful for characterizing germplasm, determining genetic relationships of cultivated accessions, and for marker‐assisted development of root rot‐tolerant P. americana var. americana rootstock material. 相似文献

The cotton mealybug, Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley, is a serious and invasive pest. At present, genetic resources for studying P. solenopsis are limited, and this negatively affects genetic research on the organism and, consequently, translational work to improve management of this pest. In the present study, expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were analyzed from a normalized complementary DNA library of P. solenopsis. In addition, EST‐derived microsatellite loci (also known as simple sequence repeats or SSRs) were isolated and characterized. A total of 1107 high‐quality ESTs were acquired from the library. Clustering and assembly analysis resulted in 785 unigenes, which were classified functionally into 23 categories according to the Gene Ontology database. Seven EST‐based SSR markers were developed in this study and are expected to be useful in characterizing how this invasive species was introduced, as well as providing insights into its genetic microevolution. 相似文献

The construction of high-density linkage maps for use in identifying loci underlying important traits requires the development of large numbers of polymorphic genetic markers spanning the entire genome at regularly spaced intervals. As part of our efforts to develop markers for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), we performed a comparison of allelic variation between microsatellite markers developed from expressed sequence tag (EST) data and anonymous markers identified from repeat-enriched libraries constructed from genomic DNA. A subset of 70 markers (37 from EST databases and 33 from repeat enriched libraries) was characterized with respect to polymorphism information content (PIC), number of alleles, repeat number, locus duplication within the genome and ability to amplify in other salmonid species. Higher PIC was detected in dinucleotide microsatellites derived from ESTs than anonymous markers (72.7% vs. 54.0%). In contrast, dinucleotide repeat numbers were higher for anonymous microsatellites than for EST derived microsatellites (27.4 vs.18.1). A higher rate of cross-species amplification was observed for EST microsatellites. Approximately half of each marker type was duplicated within the genome. Unlike single-copy markers, amplification of duplicated microsatellites in other salmonids was not correlated to phylogenetic distance. Genomic microsatellites proved more useful than EST derived microsatellites in discriminating among the salmonids. In total, 428 microsatellite markers were developed in this study for mapping and population genetic studies in rainbow trout. 相似文献

Determined sequences of 285 randomly selected clones in a 3-directed cDNA library of Aspergillus niger could identify expressed seqeunce tags (ESTs) of genes highly expressed. One EST appeared seven times, one six times, one five times, four three times and 12 twice. Out of these 19 ESTs, ten were identified in GenBank, but none was of A. niger, suggesting that there are a lot of unidentified genes highly expressed in A. niger. 相似文献

Aims: To elucidate the molecular mechanisms associated with mycoparasitism from Chaetomium cupreum , an effective biocontrol agent with ability against plant pathogenic fungi.
Methods and Results: One cDNA library was constructed from conditions predicted to resemble mycoparasitic process. A total of 1876 ESTs were generated and assembled into 1035 unigenes. B last X search revealed that 585 unigenes had similarities with sequences available from public databases. Based on the ESTs abundance, MFS monosaccharide transporter was found as the gene expressed at the highest level. A KEGG analysis allowed mapping of 60 metabolic pathways well represented by the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, d -arginine and ornithine metabolism, and tryptophan metabolism. The genes related to mycoparasitism were detected.
Conclusions: The results revealed that the cell walls of the fungal pathogen can simulate some aspects of the mycoparasitic interaction between C. cupreum and its targets.
Significance and Impact of the Study: This is the first report to study genes expression under conditions associated with the mycoparasitic process. The findings contribute to elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in mycoparasitism and will help to advance our efforts in developing novel strategies for biocontrol of plant fungal diseases. 相似文献

Humulus lupulus is commonly known as hops, a member of the family moraceae. Currently many projects are underway leading to the accumulation of voluminous genomic and expressed sequence tag sequences in public databases. The genetically characterized domains in these databases are limited due to non-availability of reliable molecular markers. The large data of EST sequences are available in hops. The simple sequence repeat markers extracted from EST data are used as molecular markers for genetic characterization, in the present study. 25,495 EST sequences were examined and assembled to get full-length sequences. Maximum frequency distribution was shown by mononucleotide SSR motifs i.e. 60.44% in contig and 62.16% in singleton where as minimum frequency are observed for hexanucleotide SSR in contig (0.09%) and pentanucleotide SSR in singletons (0.12%). Maximum trinucleotide motifs code for Glutamic acid (GAA) while AT/TA were the most frequent repeat of dinucleotide SSRs. Flanking primer pairs were designed in-silico for the SSR containing sequences. Functional categorization of SSRs containing sequences was done through gene ontology terms like biological process, cellular component and molecular function. 相似文献

In this work, we tested 100 potential new microsatellites (SSRs) equally derived from expressed sequence tag (EST) and enriched genomic-DNA libraries from Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis, Kaup), a valuable cultured flatfish species. A final set of 69 new polymorphic microsatellites were validated after a population analysis, 37 of which corresponded to the first EST library constructed for Senegalese sole (EST-SSR). Although differences were not significant, EST sequences provided a higher proportion of quality markers (74%) than anonymous ones (64%). Most of the rejected anonymous SSRs (17 loci) were discarded because they did not generate PCR products; only one was monomorphic. On the contrary, all EST-SSRs gave PCR products, although monomorphism was more frequent (26%). Altogether, the number of alleles per locus was fairly similar in both SSR types, ranging from 2 to 19. The observed and expected heterozygosities varied from 0.105 to 1 and from 0.108 to 0.937, respectively. The main difference between the two sets was the percentage of annotated loci, being higher in EST-SSRs, as expected. Within the EST-SSRs, 46% of them showed flanking regions that significantly matched with EST sequences from other three flatfish species; however, the microsatellite itself was present only on half of these cases. These two new SSR sets constitute a suitable tool for fingerprinting, gene flow, genetic diversity, genome mapping studies and molecular-assisted breeding in this species. 相似文献

Theobroma cacao L. expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were converted into useful genetic markers for fingerprinting individuals and genetic linkage mapping. Primers were designed to microsatellite‐containing ESTs. Twenty‐two T. cacao accessions, parents of various mapping populations segregating for disease resistance and crop yield characteristics, were tested. Twenty‐seven informative loci were discovered with 26 primer pairs. The number of detected alleles ranged from two to 11 and averaged 4.4 per locus. All 27 markers could be mapped into at least one of the existing F1 or F2 populations segregating for agronomically important traits. 相似文献

A cDNA library was constructed from the chrysophycean alga, Ochromonas danica E. G. Pringsheim. 5′‐end sequencing of about 600 cDNA clones yielded 476 authentic expressed sequence tags (EST) of which 275 showed significant matches (E‐value <10?4) to sequences in a public database. The annotation of these ESTs was carried out to assess subcellular localization of the putative proteins using several internet‐accessible prediction programs for subcellular localization. These analyses revealed that putative plastid proteins in Ochromonas possess N‐terminal bipartite presequences with a conserved phenylalanine at the N‐terminus of the predicted transit peptide‐like domains, similar to other ‘red‐lineage’ secondary symbiotic organisms. The examination of sequences of 3′‐UTR revealed that, similarly to chlorophyte algae, UGUAA may represent a putative polyadenylation signal in O. danica. 相似文献

In this study we successfully constructed a full-length cDNA library from Siberian tiger, Panthera tigris altaica, the most well-known wild Animal. Total RNA was extracted from cultured Siberian tiger fibroblasts in vitro. The titers of primary and amplified libraries were 1.30×10(6) pfu/ml and 1.62×10(9) pfu/ml respectively. The proportion of recombinants from unamplified library was 90.5% and average length of exogenous inserts was 1.13 kb. A total of 282 individual ESTs with sizes ranging from 328 to 1,142 bps were then analyzed the BLASTX score revealed that 53.9% of the sequences were classified as strong match, 38.6% as nominal and 7.4% as weak match. 28.0% of them were found to be related to enzyme/catalytic protein, 20.9% ESTs to metabolism, 13.1% ESTs to transport, 12.1% ESTs to signal transducer/cell communication, 9.9% ESTs to structure protein, 3.9% ESTs to immunity protein/defense metabolism, 3.2% ESTs to cell cycle, and 8.9 ESTs classified as novel genes. These results demonstrated that the reliability and representativeness of the cDNA library attained to the requirements of a standard cDNA library. This library provided a useful platform for the functional genomic research of Siberian tigers. 相似文献

Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are partial sequences of cDNAs, and can be used to characterize gene expression in organisms
or tissues. We have constructed a 200-sequence EST database from vegetative thalli of Gracilaria gracilis, the first ESTs
reported from any alga. This database contains recognizable ESTs corresponding to genes of carbohydrate metabolism (seven),
amino acid metabolism (three), photosynthesis (five), nucleic acid synthesis, repair and processing (three), protein synthesis
(14), protein degradation (six), cellular maintenance and stress response (three), other identifiable protein-coding genes
(13) and 146 sequences for which significant matches were not found in existing sequence databases. We have already used this
EST database to recover genes of carbohydrate biosynthesis from G. gracilis.
