Phylogenetic structure of Zacco platypus (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) populations on the upper and middle Chang Jiang (=Yangtze) drainage inferred from cytochrome b sequences

We examined the genetic structure and phylogenetic relationships of some Chinese populations from the Chang Jiang (=Yangtze) drainage of the cyprinid Zacco platypus. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial cytochrome b gene of 64 individuals from 6 upper and middle tributaries of the Sichuan and Hunan Provinces to assess their population structure and systematics. The combined analyses of the phylogenetic information and the population structure suggested that Chinese Z. platypus consist of four distinct mtDNA lineages which exhibit high genetic variation and haplotypic diversity (Zacco A-D). The high molecular divergence observed among Zacco A-D mtDNA lineages (TrN+I (0.76) distance, mean 8.9%+/-1.7%) and their phylogeographic structure indicate that all four lineages have evolved independently. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) indicates that most of the genetic variation observed is found among the four Zacco mtDNA lineages (thetaCT = 0.94) suggesting restricted gene flow among the Chang Jiang populations. Long-term interruption of gene flow was also evidenced by thetaST values higher than 0.9 that could be favoured by the discontinuous distributions of the lineages inhabiting upper (Sichuan Province) and middle (Hunan Province) Chang Jiang tributaries. The significant correlation between the geographic and genetic distances provide support for the importance of geographic discontinuity in shaping the Zacco genetic structure. Nested clade analysis (NCA) results were congruent with phylogenetic relationships recovered and confirm the genetic distinctiveness of four independent Zacco groups. These four groups correspond to the four Zacco A-D mtDNA lineages recovered in the phylogeny and were defined by nucleotide synapomorphies permitting bootstrapped and Bayesian confidence of 95% or greater. The high level of mitochondrial sequence divergence separating all Zacco mtDNA lineages suggested that the Z. platypus populations from the Chang Jiang drainage probably correspond to four different species.     

昆明城郊中国树鼩群体线粒体DNA遗传多样性

由于树鼩是灵长类动物的近亲,且具有体型小、繁殖周期短、饲养管理成本低等优点,长期以来被认为有望替代灵长类动物用于人类疾病的动物模型研究.然而,目前对树鼩的群体遗传结构还知之甚少,这极大地限制了其在疾病动物模型研究的应用,也是其品系资源创制的瓶颈.本研究通过分析80只采自于云南省昆明周边地区的野生树鼩(Tupaia belangeri chinensis)线粒体DNA(mtDNA)多态性,结合国外报道的2个树鼩(Tupaia belangeri)序列比较后发现,在604 bp的mtDNA控制区片段中兵检测到29个核苷酸替代变异,这些变异共界定了13种单倍型,表现较高的群体遗传多样度.另外,昆明地区的树鼩与国外报道的2个树鼩间存在较大的遗传分化,mtDNA控制区单倍型之间的核苷酸替换数大于18个,远高于昆明地区树鼢群体内部不同单倍型之间的差异.选择含有代表性的mtDNA控制区单倍型的17个昆明地区树鼩个体进一步测定了细胞色素b基因片段(1134 bp),结合前人报道的数据分析,结果进一步支持mtDNA控制区数据反映的遗传格局及揭示的昆明地区树询与国外报道树鼩之间的明显差异.本研究结果提示,昆明地区树鼩与国外树鼩之间存在较大遗传差异,在将树鼩用于人类疾病动物模型研究中要注意这些遗传差别.昆明城郊的树鼩群体具有较高的遗传多样度,在开展近交系建立等工作时须考虑选取群体内部具有代表性的mtDNA世系.

Abstract：

Due to their special phylogenetic position in the Euarchontoglires and close affinity to primates, tree shrews have been proposed as an alternative experimental animal to primates in biomedical research. However, the population genetic structure of tree shrews has largely remained unknown and this has hindered the development of tree shrew breeding and selection. Here we sampled 80 Chinese tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) in Kunming, China, and analyzed partial mtDNA control region sequence variation. Based on our samples and two published sequences from northern tree shrews (T. belangeri), we identified 29 substitutions in the mtDNA control region fragment (～ 604 bp)across 82 individuals and defined 13 hapiotypes. Seventeen samples were selected for sequencing of the cytochrome b (Cyt b; 1134 bp) gene based on control region sequence variation and were analyzed in combination with 34 published sequences to solidify the phylogenetic pattern obtained from control region data. Overall, tree shrews from Kunming have high genetic diversity and present a remarkable long genetic distance to the two reported northern tree shrews outside China. Our results provide some caution when using tree shrews to establish animal models because of this apparent genetic difference. In addition, the high genetic diversity of Chinese tree shrews inhabiting Kunming suggests that systematic genetic investigations should be conducted before establishing an inbred strain for medical and biological research.     

Mitochondrial DNA Diversity of Monopterus albus from the Sichuan Basin of China

Genetic diversity of Monopterus albus in a wild population in the Sichuan Basin was investigated by employing mtDNA polymorphisms. The mitochondrial control region was sequenced for a total of 59 individuals collected from four localities. These sequences (553 bp) belonged to 13 haplotypes defined by eight polymorphic sites. The haplotypes were clustered into one lineage, suggesting that Monopterus albus from the Sichuan Basin might originate from a single ancestor in maternal lineages. The genetic differentiation between the population from Zhongxian in Chongqing city and the other three populations, from Mianyang, Longchang, and Ya'an in Sichuan province (F (ST): 0.29167-0.55126), was higher than that among the latter three (F (ST): -0.04196 to 0.05984). Little genetic differentiation was found in the three populations from Sichuan province (Nm: -6.21 to 3.93), and the Zhongxian population also showed lower genetic heterogeneity (P (i): 0.00077 +/- 0.00027; H (d): 0.404 +/- 0.130). The combination of limited variation and weak phylogenetic structure revealed that the Monopterus albus from the Sichuan Basin exhibited lower mtDNA diversity and should probably be treated as a monogroup genetically.     

Genetic structure of Hmong-Mien speaking populations in East Asia as revealed by mtDNA lineages

Hmong-Mien (H-M) is a major language family in East Asia, and its speakers distribute primarily in southern China and Southeast Asia. To date, genetic studies on H-M speaking populations are virtually absent in the literature. In this report, we present the results of an analysis of genetic variations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) hypervariable segment 1 (HVS1) region and diagnostic variants in the coding regions in 537 individuals sampled from 17 H-M populations across East Asia. The analysis showed that the haplogroups that are predominant in southern East Asia, including B, R9, N9a, and M7, account for 63% (ranging from 45% to 90%) of mtDNAs in H-M populations. Furthermore, analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), phylogenetic tree analysis, and principal component (PC) analysis demonstrate closer relatedness between H-M and other southern East Asians, suggesting a general southern origin of maternal lineages in the H-M populations. The estimated ages of the mtDNA lineages that are specific to H-M coincide with those based on archeological cultures that have been associated with H-M. Analysis of genetic distance and phylogenetic tree indicated some extent of difference between the Hmong and the Mien populations. Together with the higher frequency of north-dominating lineages observed in the Hmong people, our results indicate that the Hmong populations had experienced more contact with the northern East Asians, a finding consistent with historical evidence. Moreover, our data defined some new (sub-)haplogroups (A6, B4e, B4f, C5, F1a1, F1a1a, and R9c), which will direct further efforts to improve the phylogeny of East Asian mtDNAs.

Genetic structure of masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou) populations in Hokkaido, northernmost Japan, inferred from mitochondrial DNA variation

Genetic structure of masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou populations in Hokkaido was examined by analysing mtDNA NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 gene (561 bp) of 382 individuals collected from 12 rivers, in which there were no records of artificial release. Analysis of molecular variance showed that between groups level and between populations within-group level explained each c. 10% of genetic variance. In neighbour-joining tree, four populations located in southern Hokkaido were clustered into a single group; however, other populations did not form any clear clusters. Fu's F _S, Tajima's D and a mismatch distribution test indicated a sudden expansion of population in the entire population of Hokkaido and the northernmost population of Chiraibetsu, which was genetically close to the southern Hokkaido group. The Sea of Japan and southern rivers, including those of southern Hokkaido, seem to have served as refugia for masu salmon during glacial periods, and their dispersal and straying in interglacial periods affected the genetic structure of masu salmon populations in Hokkaido.     

Molecular phylogenetic relationships among Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellanae) inferred from mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene sequences

The Sichuan snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellanae) is a species endemic to China, and its distribution is the widest among all snub-nosed monkeys in China. To clarify whether there is subspecific differentiation within this species, we determined partial sequences of the cytochrome-b gene from four populations ofR. roxellanae. First, 402bps of the partial sequences fromR. roxellanae were compared with those fromR. bieti andR. avunculus, and the phylogenetic tree was constructed by the neighbor-joining method. The genetic distance was only 0–0.002 among the four populations, and their sequences constituted a monophyletic group. Further, comparison of longer sequences (735bp) among the four populations revealed that there were only four substitutions and the genetic distance was only 0.001–0.005 among them. Thus, we suggest that, at least on mtDNA phylogeny, the difference among the four populations does not reach the subspecies level, and that this species should be recognized as a monotypic species.     

The utility of AFLPs for supporting mitochondrial DNA phylogeographical analyses in the Taiwanese bamboo viper, Trimeresurus stejnegeri

An amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) assay was performed on individuals representing discrete haplotypes from two genetically distinct mtDNA lineages of the bamboo viper, Trimeresurus stejnegeri (Schmidt), within Taiwan. AFLP (525 polymorphic markers from five primer pairs) and mtDNA genetic distances were highly correlated and an analysis of molecular variance, and a Bayesian approach similarly partitioned estimates of genetic similarity according to the mtDNA phylogeographical pattern. These results are discussed in relation to biogeographical hypotheses, comparative rates of mtDNA molecular evolution, and in the identification of evolutionary significant units of Taiwanese T. stejnegeri. In spite of the high degree of congruence between the genetic datasets, the AFLP phylogenetic analysis did not support the mtDNA tree, suggesting that no contemporary barriers to gene flow exist between individuals from the two mtDNA lineages.
