We analyzed n-mers (n=3-8) in the local environment of 8,249,446 human SNPs and compared their distribution with that in the genome reference sequences. The results revealed that the short sequences, which contained at least one CpG dinucleotide, occurred more frequently in the local SNP sequences than in the genome sequences. To exclude the hypermutability effect of the methylated CpG dinucleotides on the sequence context of SNPs, we examined the distribution patterns for each of the six categories of substitution. We observed the similar pattern (i.e., CpG-containing n-mers vs. non-CpG-containing n-mers) in SNP categories A/G, C/T and C/G but the opposite pattern in category A/T. We next identified 34,928 putative CpG islands in the human genome and located 133,591 SNPs within these islands. In the CpG islands, CpG SNPs were 3.92-fold less prevalent relative to the presence of CpG dinucleotides. Conversely, in the human genome, the frequency of CpG dinucleotides at the polymorphic sites was 6.09 times that in the genome reference sequences. These results support the previous views of mutational suppression at the CpG sites in the CpG islands and hypermutability of the methylated CpG dinucleotides that are prevalent in the non-CpG island sequences in the human genome. Our study represents a comprehensive investigation of the sequence context of SNPs in the human genome and in human CpG islands. 相似文献

We examine variation in mutation dynamics across a single genome (Zea mays ssp. mays) in relation to regional and flanking base composition using a data set of 10,472 SNPs generated by resequencing 1776 transcribed regions. We report several relationships between flanking base composition and mutation pattern. The A + T content of the two sites immediately flanking the mutation site is correlated with rate, transition bias, and GC --> AT pressure. We also observe a significant CpG effect, or increase in transition rate at CpG sites. At the regional level we find that the strength of the CpG effect is correlated with regional A + T content, ranging from a 1.7-fold increase in transition rate in relatively G + C-rich regions to a 2.6-fold increase in A + T-rich regions. We also observe a relationship between locus A + T content and GC --> AT pressure. This regional effect is in opposition to the influence of the two immediate neighbors in that GC --> AT pressure increases with increasing locus A + T content but decreases with increasing flanking base A + T content and may represent a relationship between genome location and mutation bias. The data indicate multiple context effects on mutations, resulting in significant variation in mutation dynamics across the genome. 相似文献

A genome-wide view of sequence mutability in mice is still limited, although biologists usually assume the same scenario for mice as for humans. In this study, we examined the sequence context in the local environment of 482,528 mouse single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We found that CpG-containing short sequences, in general, had more representation in the local sequences of SNPs compared to the genome sequences. The extent of this overrepresentation was stronger in mice than in humans, which is inconsistent with previous observations of the weaker neighboring-nucleotide biases on mouse SNPs. To exclude the CpG effect, we compared the distribution patterns of short sequences among the six categories of SNPs. The results revealed an even stronger pattern in the CpG-containing group for C/G substitution compared to for A/G or C/T substitutions. We next performed the first genome-wide sequence context analysis of SNPs in the mouse CpG islands. SNPs occurring at CpG sites were 3.14-fold less prevalent than expected, suggesting the suppression of methylation-dependent deamination in the CpG islands. The extent of this suppression was less in mice than in humans. Finally, compared with humans, the observations of a greater deficit of CpG dinucleotides, a stronger overrepresentation of CpG-containing n-mers surrounding the polymorphic sites, and a higher SNP/genome ratio of CpG dinucleotides in the mouse genome support the "loss of CpG islands" model in the mouse lineage. 相似文献

Thyroid hormones play an important role in regulating metabolism and can affect homeostasis of fat deposition. The gene encoding
thyroglobulin (TG), producing the precursor for thyroid hormones, has been proposed as a positional and functional candidate
gene for a QTL with an effect on fat deposition. In the present study, we identified 6 novel SNPs at the 3′ flanking region
of the TG gene. The SNP marker association analysis indicated that the T354C, G392A, A430G and T433G SNP markers were significantly
associated with marbling score (P < 0.05). Animals with the new homozygote genotype had higher marbling score than those with the other genotypes. Otherwise,
the linkage disequilibrium analysis indicated that these four SNPs were completely linked (r
2 = 1). Results from this study suggest that TG gene-specific SNP may be a useful marker for meat quality traits in future
marker assisted selection programs in beef cattle. 相似文献

122 randomly selected Vrindavani cattle were studied to detect polymorphism in four fragments of the CatSper2 gene that were comprised of exon 2, 4, 5, and 6 with flanking regions. Using PCR-SSCP and sequencing analysis, three SNPs (T157C, C273A, and A274C) in the first fragment, one SNP (C30G) in the second fragment, and two SNPs (T86G and T292C) in the fourth fragment were identified. The third fragment did not reveal any polymorphism. The SNPs were used for construction of haplotypes and three haplotypes were found. The least square analysis of variance revealed a significant (P?0.01) effect of haplotype on all three motility parameters. The haplotype II and III were nonsignificantly different from each other while being significantly (P?0.01) different from haplotype I. The nonsignificant difference of haplotype II with III can lead to a hypothesis that T>G or C>T SNPs may not play a role in sperm motility. However, when the comparison was made between haplotype I and II, it can be inferred that C>T SNP may have a role in sperm motility, as haplotype II has better motility parameters. Expression profiling of Catper2 gene revealed nonsignificant down regulation of CatSper2 gene in poor motility sperm compared to good motility sperm. 相似文献

In the present study, we identified 6 novel SNPs at the 3' flanking region of the TG gene.

Besides, the linkage disequilibrium analysis indicated that these 4 SNPs were completely linked (r2 = 1).

The objectives of this study were to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter I (PI) region of the bovine acetyl‐CoA carboxylase‐α (ACACA) gene and to evaluate the extent to which they were associated with lipid‐related traits. Eight novel SNPs were identified, which were AJ276223:g.2064T>A (SNP1), g.2155C>T (SNP2), g.2203G>T (SNP3), g.2268T>C (SNP4), g.2274G>A (SNP5), g.2340A>G (SNP6), g.2350T>C (SNP7) and g.2370A>G (SNP8). Complete linkage disequilibrium was observed among SNP1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8. Phenotypic data were collected from 573 cross‐bred steers with six sire breeds, including Hereford, Angus, Brangus, Beefmaster, Bonsmara and Romosinuano. The genotypes of SNP1/2/4/5/6/8 were significantly associated with adjusted backfat thickness. The genotypes of SNP3 were significantly associated with triacylglycerol (TAG) content and fatty acid composition of longissimus dorsi muscle (LM) in Brangus‐, Romosinuano‐ and Bonsmara‐sired cattle. Cattle with g.2203GG genotype had greater concentrations of TAG, total lipid, total saturated fatty acid and total monounsaturated fatty acid than did cattle with g.2203GT genotype. The genotypes of SNP7 were significantly associated with fatty acid composition of LM. Cattle with genotype g.2350TC had greater amounts of several fatty acids in LM than did cattle with genotype g.2350CC. Our results suggested that the SNPs in the PI region of ACACA gene are associated with variations in the fatty acid contents in LM. 相似文献

MC4R contributes to the control of food intake and energy expenditure, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MC4R gene have clearly been associated with backfat depth, feed intake and growth rate in pig. Our objectives were to scan the complete coding region by sequencing in samples from eight cattle breeds, to estimate the frequency of the SNPs in the MC4R gene and to determine if individual genotypes were associated with several economic traits. Five polymorphisms were detected at position 19 (C/A), 20 (A/T), 83(T/C), 128 (G/A), and 1069 (G/C), and the last one was significantly associated with backfat thickness value (P < 0.01, n = 245). The linkage disequilibrium analysis indicated that the SNP markers C19A, A20T, T83C and G128A were completely linked (r 2 = 1). 相似文献

It is understood that DNA and amino acid substitution rates are highly sequence context-dependent, e.g., C --> T substitutions in vertebrates may occur much more frequently at CpG sites and that cysteine substitution rates may depend on support of the context for participation in a disulfide bond. Furthermore, many applications rely on quantitative models of nucleotide or amino acid substitution, including phylogenetic inference and identification of amino acid sequence positions involved in functional specificity. We describe quantification of the context dependence of nucleotide substitution rates using baboon, chimpanzee, and human genomic sequence data generated by the NISC Comparative Sequencing Program. Relative mutation rates are reported for the 96 classes of mutations of the form 5' alphabetagamma 3' --> 5' alphadeltagamma 3', where alpha, beta, gamma, and delta are nucleotides and beta not equal delta, based on maximum likelihood calculations. Our results confirm that C --> T substitutions are enhanced at CpG sites compared with other transitions, relatively independent of the identity of the preceding nucleotide. While, as expected, transitions generally occur more frequently than transversions, we find that the most frequent transversions involve the C at CpG sites (CpG transversions) and that their rate is comparable to the rate of transitions at non-CpG sites. A four-class model of the rates of context-dependent evolution of primate DNA sequences, CpG transitions > non-CpG transitions approximately CpG transversions > non-CpG transversions, captures qualitative features of the mutation spectrum. We find that despite qualitative similarity of mutation rates among different genomic regions, there are statistically significant differences. 相似文献

Signaling by the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) is important for mediation the effect of leptin on food intake and energy
homeostasis, and is associated with obesity, energy homeostasis and control of feeding behavior. Presently, the bovine MC4R gene was characterized to detect genetic variation at this locus and to relate it to economic traits in Korean cattle (Hanwoo).
Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in the coding region (G709A, C927T, C1069G, C1343A, and C1786T).
G709A changed amino acid 166 of the MC4R protein from valine to methionine and C1069G changed amino acid 286 of the MC4R protein from leucine to valine. A SNP at C927T significantly influenced the Marbling score, SNP markers C1069G and C1343A
significantly affected the Backfat thickness, and the SNP marker C1786T significantly influenced backfat and Marbling score.
The MC4R gene may thus be a candidate gene for carcass traits with MC4R SNPs being potentially valuable as genetic markers for economic traits in Hanwoo. 相似文献

We analyzed the neighboring-nucleotide composition of 433,192 biallelic substitutions, representing the largest public collection of SNPs across the mouse genome. Large neighboring-nucleotide biases relative to the genome- or chromosome-specific average were observed at the immediate adjacent sites and small biases extended farther from the substitution site. For all substitutions, the biases for A, C, G, and T were 0.21, 2.63, 0.71, and -3.55%, respectively, on the immediate adjacent 5' site and -3.67, 0.75, 2.69, and 0.23%, respectively, on the immediate adjacent 3' side. Further examination of the six categories of substitution revealed that the neighboring-nucleotide patterns for transitions were strongly influenced by the hypermutability of dinucleotide CpG and the neighboring effects on transversions were complex. Probability of a transversion increased with increasing A + T content of the two immediate adjacent sites, which was similarly observed in the human and Arabidopsis genomes. Overall, the bias patterns for the neighboring nucleotides in the mouse and human genomes were essentially the same; however, the extent of the biases was notably less in mice. Our results provide the first comprehensive view of the neighboring-nucleotide effects in the mouse genome and are important for understanding the mutational mechanisms and sequence evolution in the mammalian genomes. 相似文献

The region of intron 2 of the SDF1 gene encoding a chemokine of the CXC subfamily has been resequenced in Galloway, Hereford, and Black Pied cattle. Five of the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were earlier detected by other authors in various breeds of cattle in North America (99C/G, 128T/C, 206C/T, 267C/G and 313C/T) have been found. The 270insC polymorphic marker has proved to be monomorphic in Russian cattle breeds. Hereford cattle significantly differ from Galloway and Black Pied cattle in the frequencies of some SNP variants and their combinations. The number of SNP combinations in Hereford and Galloway cattle exceeds that in Black Pied cattle. 相似文献

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) catalyzes the synthesis of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) from their saturated counterparts in the mammary gland and adipose tissue of ruminant animals. We hypothesize that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SCD gene account for some of the differences in SCD activity, and consequently for some of the variations in CLA and MUFA content of milk fat between Holsteins and Jersey cows and within these two breeds. We analyzed the open reading frame of the SCD gene of 44 Holsteins and 48 Jerseys for SNPs by sequencing. Three SNPs: 702A --> G, 762T --> C and 878C --> T were identified in both breeds and a further SNP, 435G --> A, was unique to Holsteins. The SNPs characterized four different genetic variants in Holsteins: A (G(435)A(702)T(762)C(878)), A1 (A(435)A(702)T(762)C(878)), B (G(435)G(702)C(762)T(878)) and B1 (A(435)G(702)C(762)T(878)), with only variants A and B in Jerseys. SNP 878C --> T resulted in a non-synonymous codon change while the rest resulted in synonymous codon changes giving rise to two protein variants, A having alanine and B having valine. Allele A was the most prevalent in the two breeds. These differences may, therefore, contribute to existing variations in CLA and fat content between and within Canadian Holstein and Jersey cows. 相似文献

Lactoferrin (Lf) is naturally produced by the mammary gland, having biological functions of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
activities. To investigate whether the Lf gene is associated with mastitis in dairy cattle, a DNA sequencing approach was used to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) in the gene. Three previously reported SNPs in the 5′ flanking region and one novel SNP in exon1 of Lf gene were identified. A total of 353 individuals from Holstein cattle populations were genotyped for their SNPs using Created
Restriction Site PCR (CRS-PCR) and PCR-RFLP methods. Twenty-two and nineteen combinations of three SNPs (g.3440T>G, g.3879_3880insG,
and g.4432T>C) and another three SNPs (g.3429G>A, g.3440T>G, g.3879_3880insG) were observed, respectively. The result of haplotype
analysis of four SNPs showed that fourteen different haplotypes were identified. Two major haplotypes (GECB and GECA) occurred with a frequency of 22.5 and 18.5% in the study population, respectively. Statistical analyses revealed no significant
association between one single SNP of Lf gene and SCS, whereas significant associations between their combined genotypes of three SNPs, haplotype and SCS. Combined
genotype EFCDBB and GGEFDD with the lowest SCS were favorable for the mastitis resistance. They may be used as a possible candidate for marker-assisted
selection in dairy cattle breeding program. 相似文献
