采用FA0—ISAG联合推荐的27个微卫星DNA标记对56个中国地方猪品种和3个引进猪种(杜洛克猪、长白猪、大白猪)进行遗传多样性分析,通过计算等位基因频率、有效等位基因数、平均遗传杂合度、基因分化系数、多态信息含量和遗传距离并进行系统聚类分析,评估其种内遗传变异和种间遗传关系。以聚类结果为基础,将56个中国地方猪种分为12类：Ⅰ、Ⅱ和Ⅲ类都是《中国猪品种志》中的华北型猪种;Ⅳ类相当于其中的江海型猪种;Ⅴ、Ⅵ、Ⅶ、Ⅷ和Ⅸ类的品种大部分属于华中型;Ⅹ和Ⅺ类相当于华南型品种;Ⅻ类相当于西南型品种。提出保种场结合保护区是一种比较符合我国地方猪种实际状况的保种模式。研究结果可为我国地方猪种种质特性研究提供基础数据,为我国地方猪品种资源的合理保护和利用提供科学依据。     

利用微卫星标记分析七品种（类群）小型猪的遗传多样性

采用世界粮农组织（FAO）和国际动物遗传学会（ISAG）推荐的27个微卫星,对久仰香猪、剑白香猪、从江香猪、环江香猪、黑香猪（贵州省种猪场）、五指山猪和滇南小耳猪等我国7小型猪种（类群）及杜洛克、长白和大白等3个外来猪种的群内遗传变异性和群间遗传差异进行了分析。结果表明,7个小型猪品种（类群）均有较高的群内遗传变异,但久仰、剑白、从江和环江4个香猪类群的群内遗传变异（平均多态信息含量（PIC）为0.61～0.64）显著低于其他3个小型猪种（平均PIC为0.80～0.84）。久仰、剑白、从江和环江4个香猪类群彼此间的遗传差异较小（奈氏标准遗传距离为0.12~0.22）,但它们与其他3个小型猪种有较大的遗传差异（奈氏标准遗传距离为1.61～1.96）,与3个外来猪种的遗传差异更大（奈氏标准遗传距离为1.99～3.30）。通过聚类分析,可将这些猪种清晰地分为3大类,久仰、剑白、从江和环江4个香猪类群紧密地聚为一类,其他3个小型猪种聚为一类,3个外来猪种聚为另一类。这一结果基本符合这些猪种的地理分布和品种来源。
     

利用微卫星标记分析山东地方鸡品种的遗传多样性

微卫星是近几年来应用较多的一种分子标记,可有效地进行基因鉴定与系谱分析,并可估算群体间的遗传距离。通过选用5个微卫星标记,检测了山东省5个地方鸡种：日照麻鸡、寿光鸡、莱芜黑鸡、济宁百日鸡、鲁西斗鸡以及一个外来鸡种——安卡黄鸡和一个外省地方鸡种——广西黄鸡共7个鸡种的遗传多样性。根据测试结果计算了每个等位基因的频率,以基因频率为基础分析了品种内的遗传变异和品种间的DA遗传距离,并讨论了微卫星多态性在应用于群体遗传变异及亲缘关系等方面的意义。结果表明：共检测到40个等位基因,其中等位基因数最多的位点为。ADL0136(10个);等位基因数最低的位点为ADL0146(5个);而且每个位点的等位基因分布并不均匀,都有一种或几种优势基因存在。在7个品种中,杂合度最低的为寿光鸡,杂合度值为0．3327,因为此鸡种多年来一直由寿光市慈伦种鸡场进行纯繁保种,未与其他鸡种杂交,因此杂合度最小;其他鸡种杂合度也都低于0．4,据分析可能是由于日照麻鸡、济宁百日鸡群体较小;莱芜黑鸡是正在选育的一个品种,个体间遗传关系也不远;安卡黄鸡和广西黄鸡自从引人嘉明公司后,群体近交现象普遍,因此各鸡种杂合度都偏低。由此可见,通过对杂合度的计算,微卫星可以较好地反应群体内的变异。各品种PIC值的变动范围从0．6196(寿光鸡)到0．7027(莱芜黑鸡),PIC值的大小与杂合度的高低体现了较高的一致性。对DA遗传距离的计算表明：日照麻鸡与济宁百日鸡的距离最近,而鲁西斗鸡与其他鸡种距离均较远。用UPGMA法进行聚类分析,结果7个鸡种被聚为3类：山东的4个地方鸡种寿光鸡、日照麻鸡、莱芜黑鸡与济宁百日鸡聚为一类;安卡黄鸡和广西黄鸡聚在一起;鲁西斗鸡独自为一类。这与几个鸡种的分化与选育历史是一致的,因此聚类图能够比较正确地反映7个品种之间的亲缘关系。     

利用微卫星标记分析中国地方鸡种的遗传多样性

中国幅员辽阔, 拥有丰富的鸡种遗传资源. 由于中国地方鸡种生产性能相对较低, 很难与国内外家禽公司育成的商业品种竞争, 现存数目较少, 有些已经濒临灭绝. 为了进一步了解中国地方鸡品种的遗传多样性状况, 本研究采集了分布于中国各地的78个地方鸡品种血样, 并利用分布于13条染色体上27个微卫星标记进行分析. 通过对2740个样本的检测分析发现, 在所有27个微卫星座位中, 等位基因数从6~51个不等, 平均值为18.74. 所检测的78个品种的杂合度(H)均在0.5以上, 所有品种的平均杂合度值为0.622, 多态信息含量(PIC)平均值为0.573. 与国外的同类研究相比, 这一结果表明中国的地方鸡品种具有更加广泛的遗传多样性. 在27个微卫星座位中, 总群内亚群的固定系数(F_ST)从0.065(LEI0166)到0.209(MCW0078)不等, 平均值为0.106. 在检测的位点中, 只有LEI0194位点在所有的群体中均偏离了Hardy-Weinberg平衡(HWE), 而其他位点基本上都处于Hardy-Weinberg平衡状态. 由于小群体中的基因漂移及非随机交配, 一些保种场保存的地方品种(如狼山鸡)的杂合度相对较低, 而保种区的品种由于保种群群体较大, 杂合度也就相对较高. 中国地方鸡品种的高杂合度与其表型多样性是一致的. 通过Nei氏遗传距离和邻接法将中国地方鸡种进行聚类, 结果表明, 中国地方鸡品种可以分为六大类, 分类结果与品种的地理分布基本一致. 通过分子生物学手段进行中国地方鸡品种的遗传多样性分析, 将对中国地方鸡品种的利用和保护提供重要的理论依据.     

我国西南地区玉米地方品种遗传多样性的SSR分子标记分析

利用微卫星(SSR)标记技术和DNA混合取样方法,选取均匀覆盖玉米染色体组的42对SSR引物,检测了来自我国西南地区54个玉米地方品种的遗传多样性。在54个玉米地方品种中检测到256个等位基因,每个SSR标记的等位基因数为2～9个,平均6.1个,说明我国西南地区玉米地方品种遗传多样性丰富。根据遗传相似系数矩阵做出的树状图,将54个玉米地方品种大致划分成4类,来源于同一地区的多数玉米地方品种划分在同一类中,表明西南地区玉米地方品种的地理分布与其遗传背景存在内在联系。从54个玉米地方品种中选出11个,每个品种选取15个单株,共165个DNA单株样品,分析玉米地方品种的遗传结构及其品种内的遗传多样性。对于检测玉米地方品种的遗传多样性,DNA单株样品分析优于DNA混合样品分析,42对相同的SSR引物在11个玉米地方品种中检测到330个等位基因,平均等位基因数A=7.86,有效等位基因数Ae=3.90,平均期望杂合度He=0.69,实际观察杂合度H0=0.37。据遗传结构分析结果,固定指数(F)为0.25～0.79,表明玉米地方品种是典型的混合繁育系统;由于杂合体不足,玉米地方品种群体间及群体内的遗传结构均偏离了Hardy-Weinberg平衡;杂合性基因多样度比率(Fst)平均为0.07,表明品种间和品种内的遗传变异分别占总遗传变异的7%和93%。玉米地方品种内遗传多样性及品种间遗传距离分析结果表明,在我国西南地区,分布在四川的玉米地方品种具有最丰富的遗传变异。经综合分析推测,我国西南地区玉米地方品种最早引进到四川种植,由此向毗邻地区传播扩散。

利用微卫星标记分析我国13个地方灰羽鹅品种的遗传多样性

我国地方鹅品种具有很多优良性状,但长期以来由于没有形成科学的选育制度和培育方法,品种的遗传多样性没有得到完整保存。为了深入了解我国地方鹅品种的遗传结构,使之得到更好的保护和利用,作者选用31个多态性较高的微卫星标记(其中19个是首次用磁珠富集法从AFLP片段中分离),检测了我国13个地方灰羽鹅(An-sercygnnoides)品种的遗传多样性。利用等位基因频率计算出各群体的平均遗传杂合度(H)、多态信息含量(PIC)和群体间的遗传距离(DA)。结果表明:13个地方灰羽鹅品种中,平均多态信息含量为0.323–0.398,平均杂合度为0.4985–0.6727,各品种的杂合度都较高,最高的是狮头鹅(0.6727),最低的是雁鹅(0.4985)。用UPGMA法进行聚类分析的结果显示,13个品种被聚为4类:丰城灰鹅、武冈铜鹅、兴国灰鹅、狮头鹅、乌棕鹅、阳江鹅、马冈鹅、钢鹅、雁鹅聚为第1类;伊犁鹅自聚为第2类;长乐鹅、右江鹅聚为第3类;永康灰鹅自聚为第4类。本研究为鹅遗传育种提供了参考资料。

European pig genetic diversity: a minireview

An evaluation of the European pig diversity has been carried on by several countries, with the support of the European Union over the period of 1994 to 2000. This article presents an overview of the results of this investigation, focussing on two genetic marker techniques, namely microsatellites (MS) and amplification of fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). Nearly 200 loci were characterised on about 50 individuals from each of 59 to 71 breeds, according to the marker considered. The analysis of diversity, based on genetic distances, led to similar conclusions for the two marker types (MS and AFLP), in spite of a markedly lower total diversity of AFLP compared to MS. The analysis of the MS loci showed that the allelic diversity pattern among breeds was quasi-independent from the diversity pattern based on allele frequencies. Genetic distances showed no particular clustering of local with international breeds, confirming the genetic uniqueness of the European local breeds compared to mainstream international breeds. The taxonomy of the local breeds revealed a cluster of the Iberian type breeds, in contrast with a wider dispersal of the breeds from other countries. Phylogeny often disagreed with documented breeds' history, showing the complex migration/admixture patterns which underlie the breeds' relationships. Methodologies developed in this investigation as well as the database and the DNA depository created should provide support for further innovative research in the field of domestic animal diversity management.     

An empirical assessment of individual-based population genetic statistical techniques: application to British pig breeds

Recently developed Bayesian genotypic clustering methods for analysing genetic data offer a powerful tool to evaluate the genetic structure of domestic farm animal breeds. The unit of study with these approaches is the individual instead of the population. We aimed to empirically evaluate various individual-based population genetic statistical methods for characterization of genetic diversity and structure of livestock breeds. Eighteen British pig populations, comprising 819 individuals, were genotyped at 46 microsatellite markers. Three Bayesian genotypic clustering approaches, principle component analysis (PCA) and phylogenetic reconstruction were applied to individual multilocus genotypes to infer the genetic structure and diversity of the British pig breeds. Comparisons of the three Bayesian genotypic clustering methods (, and ) revealed some broad similarities but also some notable differences. Overall, the methods agreed that majority of the British pig breeds are independent genetic units with little evidence of admixture. The three Bayesian genotypic clustering methods provided complementary, biologically credible clustering solutions but at different levels of resolution. detected finer genetic differentiation and in some cases, populations within breeds. Consequently, it estimated a greater number of underlying genetic populations (K, in the notation of Bayesian clustering methods). Two of the Bayesian methods ( and ) and phylogenetic reconstruction provided similar success in assignment of individuals, supporting the use of these methods for breed assignment.     

Analysis of diversity and genetic relationships between four Chinese indigenous pig breeds and one Australian commercial pig breed

The genetic diversities and relationships of four Chinese indigenous pig breeds and one Australian commercial pig breed have been evaluated using 27 microsatellites recommended by the International Society of Animal Genetics (ISAG) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The allele frequencies, effective numbers of alleles and the polymorphic information content have been calculated. Nei's standard genetic distances have been used to construct a UPGMA dendrogram, which has been evaluated by the Bootstrap test. The utility of microsatellites for evaluating genetic diversity of pigs is discussed.

Genetic variation in two conserved local Romanian pig breeds using type 1 DNA markers

Analysis of the genetic variation of an endangered population is an important component for the success of conservation. Animals from two local Romanian pig breeds, the Mangalitsa and Bazna, were analysed for variation at a number of genetic loci using PCR-based DNA tests. Polymorphism was assessed at loci which 1) are known to cause phenotypic variation, 2) are potentially involved in trait differences or 3) are putative candidate genes. The traits considered are disease resistance, growth, coat colour, meat quality and prolificacy. Even though the populations are small and the markers are limited to specific genes, we found significant differences in five of the ten characterised loci. In some cases the observed allele frequencies were interesting in relation to gene function and the phenotype of the breed. These breeds are part of a conservation programme in Romania and marker information may be useful in preserving a representative gene pool in the populations. The use of polymorphisms in type 1 (gene) markers may be a useful complement to analysis based on anonymous markers.     

Microsatellite analysis reveals high genetic diversity but low genetic structure in Ethiopian indigenous cattle populations

Ethiopian cattle are under threat from uncontrolled mating practices and are at high risk of becoming genetically homogeneous. Therefore, to evaluate genetic diversity, population structure and degree of admixture, 30 microsatellite markers were genotyped using 351 DNA samples from 10 Ethiopian cattle populations and the Holstein breed. The mean number of alleles per cattle population ranged from 6.93 ± 2.12 in Sheko to 7.50 ± 2.35 in Adwa. The mean observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.674 ± 0.015 and 0.726 ± 0.019 respectively. Ethiopian cattle populations have maintained a high level of within-population genetic differentiation (98.7%), the remainder being accounted for by differentiation among populations (1.3%). A highly significant deficiency in heterozygotes was detected within populations ( F _IS = 0.071; P  <   0.001) and total inbreeding ( F _IT = 0.083; P  <   0.001). The study populations were highly admixed but distinct from pure Bos taurus and Bos indicus breeds. The various levels of admixture and high genetic diversity make Ethiopian cattle populations suitable for future genetic improvement and utilization under a wide range of agro-ecologies in Ethiopia.     

Genetic diversity and differentiation of 12 eastern Adriatic and western Dinaric native sheep breeds using microsatellites

Nuclear genetic diversity and differentiation of 341 sheep belonging to 12 sheep breeds from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina were examined. The aim of the study was to provide the understanding of the genetic structure and variability of the analysed pramenka sheep populations, and to give indications for conservation strategies based on the population diversity and structure information. The genetic variation of the sheep populations, examined at the nuclear level using 27 microsatellite loci, revealed considerable levels of genetic diversity, similar to the diversity found in other European indigenous low-production sheep breeds. Population-specific alleles were detected at most loci and in breeds analysed. The observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.643 (in Lika pramenka) to 0.743 (in Vlasic pramenka), and the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.646 (in Lika pramenka) to 0.756 (in Dalmatian pramenka). Significant inbreeding coefficients were found for half of the populations studied and ranged from 0.040 (Pag island sheep) to 0.091 (Kupres pramenka). Moderate genetic differentiation was found between the studied sheep populations. The total genetic variability observed between different populations was 5.29%, whereas 94.71% of the variation was found within populations. Cres island sheep, Lika pramenka and Istrian sheep were identified as the most distinct populations, which was confirmed by the factorial analysis of correspondence and supported through a bootstrapping adjustment to correct for the difference in the sample sizes. The population structure analysis distinguished 12 clusters for the 12 sheep breeds analysed. However, the cluster differentiation was low for Dalmatian, Vlasic, Stolac and Krk pramenka. This systematic study identified Lika pramenka and Rab island sheep as those with the lowest diversity, whereas Istrian sheep and Pag island sheep had the highest. Conservation actions are proposed for Istrian, Rab and Cres island sheep, Lika and Kupres pramenka because of high estimated coefficients of inbreeding.     

An assessment of European pig diversity using molecular markers: Partitioning of diversity among breeds

Genetic diversity within and between breeds (and lines) of pigs was investigated. The sample comprised 68 European domestic breeds (and lines), including 29 local breeds, 18 varieties of major international breeds, namely Duroc, Hampshire, Landrace, Large White and Piétrain, and 21 commercial lines either purebred or synthetic, to which the Chinese Meishan and a sample of European wild pig were added. On average 46 animals per breed were sampled (range 12–68). The genetic markers were microsatellites (50 loci) and AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism, 148 loci). The analysis of diversity showed that the local breeds accounted for 56% of the total European between-breed microsatellite diversity, and slightly less for AFLP, followed by commercial lines and international breeds. Conversely, the group of international breeds contributed most to within-breed diversity, followed by commercial lines and local breeds. Individual breed contributions to the overall European between- and within-breed diversity were estimated. The range in between-breed diversity contributions among the 68 breeds was 0.04–3.94% for microsatellites and 0.24–2.94% for AFLP. The within-breed diversity contributions varied very little for both types of markers, but microsatellite contributions were negatively correlated with the between-breed contributions, so care is needed in balancing the two types of contribution when making conservation decisions. By taking into account the risks of extinction of the 29 local breeds, a cryopreservation potential (priority) was estimated for each of them.     

Genetic diversity of Hungarian indigenous chicken breeds based on microsatellite markers

Six local chicken breeds are registered in Hungary and are regarded as Hungarian national treasures: Hungarian White, Yellow and Speckled, and Transylvanian Naked Neck White, Black and Speckled. Three Hungarian academic institutes have maintained these genetic resources for more than 30 years. The Hungarian Yellow, the Hungarian Speckled and the Transylvanian Naked Neck Speckled breeds were kept as duplicates in two separate subpopulations since time of formation of conservation flocks at different institutes. In this study, we investigated genetic diversity of these nine Hungarian chicken populations using 29 microsatellite markers. We assessed degree of polymorphism and relationships within and between Hungarian breeds on the basis of molecular markers, and compared the Hungarian chicken populations with commercial lines and European local breeds. In total, 168 alleles were observed in the nine Hungarian populations. The F _ST estimate indicated that about 22% of the total variation originated from variation between the Hungarian breeds. Clustering using structure software showed clear separation between the Hungarian populations. The most frequent solutions were found at K  = 5 and K  = 6, respectively, classifying the Transylvanian Naked Neck breeds as a separate group of populations. To identify genetic resources unique to Hungary, marker estimated kinships were estimated and a safe set analysis was performed. We show that the contribution of all Hungarian breeds together to the total diversity of a given set of populations was lower when added to the commercial lines than when added to the European set of breeds.
