Construction of DNA Marker Plasmids Based on Taq Tailing Activity and Selective Recovery of Ligation Products

DNA fragments with standard molecular weights (DNA markers, which are usually commercial products) are routinely electrophoresed in conjunction with DNA samples in molecular biology labs to serve as references for DNA molecular weight; this is done by referencing their relative molecular weights. In this study, we present a new technical strategy for constructing super-plasmids for homemade DNA marker production with single restriction enzyme digestion. In this study, two super-plasmids for DNA marker production have been developed, based on tailing activity of Taq polymerase and selective recovery of ligation products following agarose gel electrophoresis.     

Applications of Molecular Markers in Fruit Crops for Breeding Programs—A Review

Selection and use of molecular markers for evaluation of DNA polymorphism in plants are couple of the most important approaches in the field of molecular genetics. The assessment of genetic diversity using morphological markers is not sufficient due to little differentiating traits among the species, genera or their individuals. Morphological markers are not only highly influenced by environmental factors but skilled assessment is also prerequisite to find the variations in plant genetic resources. Therefore, molecular markers are considered as efficient tools for detailed DNA based characterization of fruit crops. Molecular markers provide new directions to the efforts of plant breeders particularly in genetic variability, gene tags, gene localization, taxonomy, genetic diversity, phylogenetic analysis and also play an important role to decrease the time required for development of new and excellent cultivars. The success of molecular markers technology in genetic improvement programs depends on the close relationship among the plant breeders, biotechnologists, skilled manpower and good financial support. The present review describes application and success of molecular markers technology used for genetic improvement in different fruit crops.     

RNA molecular weight determination by agarose gel electrophoresis using formaldehyde as denaturant: comparison of RNA and DNA molecular weight markers

Reliable molecular weight measurements of RNA molecules as large as 4.0 X 10(6) dalton can be made on agarose gels containing 2.2 M formaldehyde as denaturant (Lehrach et al., 1977). Both eucaryotic and procaryotic ribosomal RNAs have generally been used as molecular weight markers. However, Maniatis et al. (1982) have suggested the use of restriction fragments of DNA as convenient molecular weight markers for RNA samples run in formaldehyde/agarose gels. This communication compares RNA and DNA molecular weight markers run under identical conditions.     

Genome‐wide microsatellite characterisation and marker development in Chenopodium quinoa

Microsatellites, as the tracts of repetitive DNA, are an essential constituent of the plant genome that holds important evolutionary significance, and have been extensively used to develop molecular makers for genetic analysis. To understand the microsatellite dynamics of quinoa genome and its relatives, in this study we performed a genome‐wide analysis of microsatellites in five Amaranthaceae species using available genome sequences. The results demonstrated that the microsatellites of the five Amaranthaceae species were characterised by relatively high proportions of mono‐, di‐ and trinucleotide repeats with A/T rich motifs, implying conservative organisation and composition of microsatellites in this family. Furthermore, a significant negative correlation between microsatellite frequencies and GC contents (r = ?.87) were observed. In total, 533,961 (89.57%) and 542,601 (89.86%) microsatellite loci could be used to develop simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers, of which 7,178 were found to be polymorphic between the two sequenced quinoa cultivars, QQ74 and Real Blanca, through in silico PCR analysis. Finally, 15 SSR markers were randomly selected to validate their polymorphism across 12 quinoa accessions by wet‐lab PCR amplification. The newly developed genome‐wide SSR markers provide a useful resource for population genetics, gene mapping and molecular breeding studies in quinoa and beyond.     

Phylogeny of the shore crab family Grapsidae (Decapoda: Brachyura: Thoracotremata) based on a multilocus approach

The Grapsidae are a thoracotreme crab family with 40 species in eight genera (in their strict definition), and possess a number of morphological and molecular synapomorphies. Previous phylogenetic studies based on mitochondrial DNA markers established the monophyly of this family, but suggested possible paraphyly or polyphyly of some of the constituent genera. To test the validity of previous hypotheses, the present study reconstructed a molecular phylogeny of the grapsid crabs based on five molecular markers, including mitochondrial DNA markers and the first use of nuclear protein‐coding markers to address this issue. Monophyly of Grapsidae was confirmed, with the exception of the position of the monotypic genus Leptograpsodes. The polyphyly of the genus Pachygrapsus is consistent with previous molecular phylogenies, as members from this genus are dispersed throughout our gene tree. Grapsus and Planes were shown to be paraphyletic, with species of Pachygrapsus nested within them. Our study found incongruences between the currently adopted classification of the family, and hence taxonomic revisions will be needed. We hereby demonstrate the use of nuclear protein‐coding markers for high confidence reconstruction of decapod phylogenies, resolving most of the early splits that mitochondrial DNA markers alone are unable to tackle. © 2015 The Linnean Society of London

大麦基因组中的微卫星标记及其应用

微卫星是以少数几个核苷酸为单位多次串联重复的DNA序列,是一种简单序列重复(simple sequence repeats,SSR),两侧一般是保守序列。由于它具有多态性高、共显性、容易用PCR检测和结果稳定可靠等特点,因此是一种十分理想的分子标记。大麦的微卫星DNA随机分布于基因组中,平均每一个微卫星基因座有3～18个等位基因,最高可达37个。SSR标记已广泛用于分子遗传图谱的构建、遗传多样性研究、种质鉴定、主要性状基因的定位及分子标记辅助选择育种等。大多数SSR标记集中在着丝粒附近区域,1HL、5HL和6HS明显缺乏SSR标记。大麦的SSR标记还有待进一步的开发。 Microsatellite Markers and Applications in the Barley Genome FENG Zong-yun1,2,3,ZHANG Yi-zheng1,LING Hong-qing3 1.College of Life Sciences,Sichuan University,Chengdu 610065,China; 2.College of Agronomy,Sichuan Agricultural University,Ya'an 625014,China; 3.The State Key Laboratory of Plant Cell & Chromosome Engineering,Institute of Genetics & Developmental Biology,Chinese Academy of Sciences,Beijing 100101,China Abstract:Microsatellites,also called simple sequence repeats (SSR),are simple,tandemly repeated DNA sequences with a repeat length of a few base pairs,and are very ideally used as molecular markers because of their abundance,high level of polymorphism,co-dominance and ease of assay with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by selecting primers as the conserved DNA sequences flanking the SSRs,as well as better stability.The experiments showed that SSRs are randomly distributed throughout the barley genome,and there are 3~18 alleles at a single SSR locus,up to 37 alleles/locus.SSR markers have being widely applied in the construction of molecular genetic map,the study of genetic diversity,the identification of germplasm,gene mapping for important traits and molecular marker-assisted selection.Meanwhile,most of markers are strongly clustered around the centromeric regions of all seven linkage groups.As a result of the clustering,genome coverage with SSRs remains incomplete with an obvious lack of markers on the long arms of chromosomes 1H and 5H and short arm of chromosome 6H.Therefore,it is very potential and necessary to further develop SSR markers in barley.

Utilization of DNA marker-assisted selection in Korean native animals

The recent progress of DNA technologies including DNA fingerprinting (DFP) and random amplified DNA polymorphism (RAPD) analysis make it possible to identify the specific genetic traits of animals and to analyze the genetic diversity and relatedness between or within species or populations. Using those techniques, some efforts to identify and develop the specific DNA markers based on DNA polymorphism, which are related with economic traits for Korean native animals, Hanwoo (Korean native cattle), Korean native pig and Korean native chicken, have been made in Korea for recent a few years. The developed specific DNA markers successfully characterize the Korean native animals as the unique Korean genetic sources, distinctively from other imported breeds. Some of these DNA markers have been related to some important economic traits for domestic animals, for example, growth rate and marbling for Hanwoo, growth rate and back fat thickness for native pig, and growth rate, egg weight and egg productivity for native chicken. This means that those markers can be used in important marker-assisted selection (MAS) of Korean native domestic animals and further contribute to genetically improve and breed them.

General properties and phylogenetic utilities of nuclear ribosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA commonly used in molecular systematics

To choose one or more appropriate molecular markers or gene regions for resolving a particular systematic question among the organisms at a certain categorical level is still a very difficult process. The primary goal of this review, therefore, is to provide a theoretical information in choosing one or more molecular markers or gene regions by illustrating general properties and phylogenetic utilities of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that have been most commonly used for phylogenetic researches. The highly conserved molecular markers and/or gene regions are useful for investigating phylogenetic relationships at higher categorical levels (deep branches of evolutionary history). On the other hand, the hypervariable molecular markers and/or gene regions are useful for elucidating phylogenetic relationships at lower categorical levels (recently diverged branches). In summary, different selective forces have led to the evolution of various molecular markers or gene regions with varying degrees of sequence conservation. Thus, appropriate molecular markers or gene regions should be chosen with even greater caution to deduce true phylogenetic relationships over a broad taxonomic spectrum.

A novel sex-linked microsatellite marker for molecular sexing in rock bream fish Oplegnathus fasciatus

Sex-specific DNA markers can serve as efficient tools for molecular sex identification and thus provide important information for ecological and evolutionary studies, as well as for fishery management. In the present study, microsatellite markers were employed to identify sex-linked markers in the rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus). A microsatellite marker, designated as Oplfa16, displayed a male-specific genotype in rock bream. The male-specific microsatellite marker was further tested in 82 individuals, ensuring reproducible sex identification. Therefore, we developed a rapid and reliable method for sex identification in rock bream by using a novel sex-linked microsatellite marker.
