Individual and sexual identification for the wild black muntjac (Muntiacus crinifrons) based on fecal DNA

The black muntjac (Muntiacus crinifrons), endemic to China, was categorized as a Grade I National Key Protected Animal by the Ministry of Agriculture of China and classified as Vulnerable (VU) by IUCN. Recent years, studies had been conducted on this species mainly focusing on habitat selection, food habit, gene flow etc., only with a few reports on the population dynamics. Individual identification of wild animals is one of the most important subjects in the population dynamic research. Of various molecular markers, microsatellite DNA fingerprinting has been used most frequently and successfully on many kinds of animals. Here, we constructed identification system for the black muntjac using 8 microsatellite loci. 31 black muntjacs were identified from 141 fecal samples, whereas 43 samples could be used for PCR after repeated trials. Further, the sequencing for Cytb gene was also conducted for convincing us the identity of fecal samples. The results, highly consistent between sequencing consequence and sequence data from Genebank, implied that those experienced local people are of the convincing knowledge about wild animals, especially at the respects of identification to black muntjac’ feces pellets. Moreover, we detected the specificity of identification system to black muntjac. BM1225 was the only one locus that unsuccessful PCR for the muscle samples of Muntiacus reevesi was observed, which suggested that our identification system could be used for excluding the non-researched objects in some cases. Analyses using softwares CERVUS 3.0 and POPGENE 1.21 showed that the present identification system had strong discrimination power: 0.938 per loci (DP) or 0.999 in total (CDP). The mean observed number of alleles (Na), mean effective number of alleles (Ne), and mean excepted heterogosity (He) were 8.875, 6.375, and 0.829 respectively. Considering that the change of sex ratio in population could exert significant impact on population growth, density to some extent, we also analyzed the sex ratio of those individuals that had been identified based on fecal samples from filed using SRY (Sex-determining region Y) gene amplification, which identified 19 males and 12 females.     

Highly efficient identification of thousands of microsatellite loci in the pearl oyster (Pinctada martensii) from RNA-Seq

High-throughput RNA-Seq affords a cost and time effective means of obtaining large numbers of genetic markers for aquatic genomics. Here, we present thousands of novel microsatellite loci developed for the pearl oyster, Pinctada martensii from the Illumina HiSeq™ 2000 library of the pearl sac. Free user-friendly bioinformatics tools were employed to screen for microsatellite loci and design appropriate primers in 102,762 unigenes with 7216 microsatellite loci identified in total, 4862 of which had flanking sequences suitable for polymerase chain reaction primer design. The 50 randomly chosen primer pairs were tested in two populations of pearl oyster (base population (POP1) and selected population (POP2), with 30 individuals of each population). All the primer pairs were amplified successfully in two populations. All loci were polymorphic in POP1, while there were 3 loci showing monomorphism in POP2. In POP1 and POP2, observed heterozygosity from 0.033 to 1.000 and 0.000 to 1.000, 19 and 16 microsatellite loci deviated significantly from Hardy–Weinberg expectations including a Bonferroni correction (P < 0.001). Thirteen loci were highly informative content (PIC ≥ 0.5) in both populations. These identified loci will be useful for potential application for evolutionary, population genetic and chromosome linkage mapping research on pearl oyster.

Rapid multiplex PCR based species identification of wild tigers using non-invasive samples

Conservation and management of rare and elusive species requires accurate data on presence or absence. In such cases, molecular genetics based species identification approaches can prove invaluable, especially in conjuncture with non-invasive DNA sampling. However, non-invasive sources yield DNA in low concentration that is degraded, which could result in false negatives for species identification. In this paper, we developed a set of primers for PCR-based species identification of tigers. Our results reveal high rates (upto 90%) of species identification for both fresh (less than 48 h) and old (between 7 days and 3 months) fecal samples from the field. Experiments reveal that multiplex PCR (amplifying more than one genomic region) results in an increase in conclusive species identification (and a consequent decrease in the number of false negatives) from 55% to 89% for old fecal samples. We demonstrate that this increased success is because we experimentally overcome the problems of low DNA template quantity (using the multiplex PCR kit, increases species identification from 55% to 72%) and low template DNA quality (two sets of primers increase the species identification success from 72% to 89%). We recommend that multiplex PCR based methods be used (in conjuncture with species specific primers) for other rare and elusive species since such methods will potentially significantly decrease error in species identification.     

应用微卫星分型进行小熊猫亲子鉴定

小熊猫栖息于喜马拉雅与横断山脉,是亚洲濒危物种。中国的小熊猫谱系已登记圈养小熊猫个体９６８ 只,现有存活个体３５５ 只（２０１３ 年）,然而,现有谱系中存在部分信息不明确的问题。为此,我们选择１９ 对小熊猫特异性引物对４１ 只圈养小熊猫进行微卫星扩增,并分析其亲缘关系。将获取的亲子鉴定结果,结合种群原始记录信息,利用Pedigraph 软件构建福州圈养小熊猫的种群遗传谱系图。结果表明：在母子关系确实的情况下,１９个基因座位的联合父权排除概率为０. ９９９９９９６８;利用６ 个已知双亲的后代检验１９ 个基因座位的可信度,后代与双亲的基因型完全符合孟德尔遗传定律,表明１９个基因座位能有效确认小熊猫的亲权关系。应用１９ 个微卫星标记成功地为１５ 个后代找到了生物学父亲。尽管一些雌性个体在繁殖期有多重交配的行为,亲子鉴定的结果显示同一窝小熊猫均来自单一父权。基因型比对结果表明７ 对双胞胎均属于异卵双生子。福州种群的后代中除＃９２０和＃９２１ 外,其余均源于＃４８７ 或＃８９８ 两只雄性,表明不同个体参与繁殖的机会不均等。因此,利用现代繁殖技术,加强濒危野动物种群管理,科学制定繁殖计划具有积极的现实意义。

东北虎微卫星DNA遗传标记的筛选及在亲子鉴定中的应用

利用18个家猫微卫星基因座，在东北虎(Panthera tigris sibilia)DNA中扩增结果有4个基因座没有产物，8个基因座为单态，6个基因座为多态性。同时利用苏门答腊虎的微卫星序列设计了8对引物，在东北虎DNA中有4对具有多态性。微卫星基因座的多态性百分率为38．5％。在供试的27只东北虎中，发现等位基因间的变异均为偶数碱基长度变化，对有准确谱系记录的个体研究表明，这10个微卫星DNA遗传标记符合孟德尔遗传规律，所以这些微卫星DNA可以有效的应用于东北虎的亲子鉴定。利用这10对多态性引物，我们成功地鉴定了7个父子关系不清的后代。收集的样品包括23只毛发样品和4只血液样品，实验结果表明，毛发和血液样品均可以得到清晰的微卫星条带[动物学报49(1)：118—123．2003]。     

Variation of 15 autosomal microsatellite DNA loci in the Russian population

The allele frequencies of 15 autosomal STR loci (D3S1358, vWA, FGA, TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, D2S1338, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, and D19S433) used in forensic medicine were determined for the Russian population of European Russia (N = 176). The power of discrimination (PD) and power of exclusion (PE) of the system of the 15 STR loci were 0.999 999 999 999 999 986 and 0.999 999 331 310 171 000, respectively. The allele and genotype frequency distributions in the Russian population corresponded to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The D2S1338, D18S51, D21S11, and FGA loci were identified as the most informative markers for the Russian population and proposed as a reference for forensic studies in the Russian Federation.     

The effect of individual genetic heterozygosity on general homeostasis,heterosis and resilience in Siberian larch (Larix sibirica Ledeb.) using dendrochronology and microsatellite loci genotyping

The genetic mechanisms underlying the relationship of individual heterozygosity (IndHet) with heterosis and homeostasis are not fully understood. Such an understanding, however, would have enormous value as it could be used to identify trees better adapted to environmental stress. Dendrochronology data, in particular the individual average radial increment growth of wood measured as the average tree ring width (AvTRW) and the variance of tree ring width (VarTRW) were used as proxies for heterosis (growth rate measured as AvTRW) and homeostasis (stability of the radial growth of individual trees measured as VarTRW), respectively. These traits were then used to test the hypothesis that IndHet can be used to predict heterosis and homeostasis of individual trees. Wood core and needle samples were collected from 100 trees of Siberian larch (Larix sibirica Ledeb.) across two populations located in Eastern Siberia. DNA samples were obtained from the needles of each individual tree and genotyped for eight highly polymorphic microsatellite loci. Then mean IndHet calculated based on the genotypes of eight loci for each tree was correlated with the statistical characteristics of the measured radial growth (AvTRW and VarTRW) and the individual standardized chronologies. The analysis did not reveal significant relationships between the studied parameters. In order to account for the strong dependence of the radial growth on tree age the age curves were examined. An original approach was employed to sort trees into groups based on the distance between these age curves. No relationship was found between these groups and the groups formed based on heterozygosity. However, further work with more genetic markers and increased sample sizes is needed to test this novel approach for estimating heterosis and homeostasis.
