中国野生鹌鹑群体遗传共适应特性研究

随机抽取迁飞滞留季节捕获的野生日本鸣鹑40只、野生普通鹌鹑62只和家鹑40只, 采用蒙特卡罗模拟法检验群体遗传不平衡, 运用微卫星DNA标记对两种野生鹌鹑和家鹑群体的遗传共适应特性进行分析, 在3个鹌鹑群体中证实存在遗传共适应特性; 同时构建中性位点遗传共适应的统计模型, 分析遗传共适应特性在分子水平上的效应, 结果表明: 遗传共适应主导了野生日本鸣鹑、野生普通鹌鹑和家鹑群体的遗传不平衡状态, 分别有16.67%, 9.66%和10.05%的非等位基因组合因遗传共适应的影响处于遗传不平衡或极不平衡状态, 几乎所有检测的位点都存在遗传共适应特性, 其在分子水平上的作用更加显著, 维持着群体中大量的稳定多态现象. 这一结果丰富了群体遗传不平衡的概念和内涵, 为了解除连锁之外, 另一重要因素——遗传共适应对群体遗传不平衡的作用提供了科学的依据; 同时也为阐明我国野生鹌鹑的系统地位以及为评价、保护和利用我国野生鹌鹑这一宝贵遗传资源打下基础.

Absence of evidence for linkage between Booroola gene and genetic markers at 11 sheep blood polymorphic loci

Summary. Genetic linkage between the Booroola locus ( Fec ) and 11 sheep blood polymorphic loci (i.e. Tf, Hb, CA, OLA, and A, B, C, D, M, R, F41 red cell blood groups) was investigated in six large sire families (163 informative female offspring). The six sires tested were heterozygous for the Booroola allele ( Fec^B ) and for several genetic markers. No evidence in favour of linkage was found. Moreover, depending on the marker locus considered, linkage closer than or as close as the recombination frequency of 10–30% was excluded.     

Genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci for resistance to Haemonchus contortus in sheep

This paper presents results from a mapping experiment to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to Haemonchus contortus infestation in merino sheep. The primary trait analysed was faecal worm egg count in response to artificial challenge at 6 months of age. In the first stage of the experiment, whole genome linkage analysis was used for broad-scale mapping. The animal resource used was a designed flock comprising 571 individuals from four half-sib families. The average marker spacing was about 20 cM. For the primary trait, 11 QTL (as chromosomal/family combinations) were significant at the 5% chromosome-wide level, with allelic substitution effects of between 0.19 and 0.38 phenotypic standard deviation units. In general, these QTL did not have a significant effect on faecal worm egg count recorded at 13 months of age. In the second stage of the experiment, three promising regions (located on chromosomes 1, 3 and 4) were fine-mapped. This involved typing more closely spaced markers on individuals from the designed flock as well as an additional 495 individuals selected from a related population with a deeper pedigree. Analysis was performed using a linkage disequilibrium–linkage approach, under additive, dominant and multiple QTL models. Of these, the multiple QTL model resulted in the most refined QTL positions, with resolutions of <10 cM achieved for two regions. Because of the moderate size of effect of the QTL, and the apparent age and/or immune status specificity of the QTL, it is suggested that a panel of QTL will be required for significant genetic gains to be achieved within industry via marker-assisted selection.     

Quantitative trait loci for resistance to infection in sheep using a live Salmonella Abortusovis vaccine

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping for susceptibility to a Salmonella Abortusovis vaccinal strain was performed using an experimental design involving 30 Romane sheep sire families (1216 progenies). Nine QTL corresponding to bacterial load, weight variations and antibody response criteria were mapped on eight chromosomes, including the major histocompatibility complex area on chromosome 20. Surprisingly, none was found to be significant in the SLC11A1 region (formerly NRAMP1) that has been shown to influence Salmonella susceptibility in other species.     

湖羊、同羊12个同工酶座位的检测

Gene frequencies of Hu sheep and Tong sheep were obtained with “Random sampling in typical colonies of a central area“.of the 12 loci tested in Hu shpee.11 loci were polymorphic.Reliability of the estimated frequencies of 27 alleles reached 0.95 except for Po^F,Tf^A,Tfd,Hb-β^A and CAF which had reliabilities of 0.5222,0.7478,0.5222,0.6212 and 0.899,respectively,Of the 12 loci tested in Tong sheep,11 loci were polymorphic.Reliability of the estimated frequency of 25 alleles reached 0.95 except for Tf^A,Tf^E and CAF which had reliabilities of 0.931,0.6922 and 0.7924,respectively.The average heterozygosity(H) and average homozygosity(J) was computed and the J of the two sheep colonies was 0.6619 and 0.6448,respectively.Consistent with our conclusions based on genetic data,previous research divided the native sheep populations of East and South Central Asia into three group:the “mongolian group“ “south-Asian group“and “European group“ .Consequently,the degree of genetic similarity between populations and known groups would seem to provide a reliable means of determining the genetic relationships between populations and may reflect the true genetic origin of Hu sheep and Tong sheep in China.     

Genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci for aseasonal reproduction in sheep

The productivity and economic prosperity of sheep farming could benefit greatly from more effective methods of selection for year-round lambing. Identification of QTL for aseasonal reproduction in sheep could lead to more accurate selection and faster genetic improvement. One hundred and twenty microsatellite markers were genotyped on 159 backcross ewes from a Dorset × East Friesian crossbred pedigree. Interval mapping was undertaken to map the QTL underlying several traits describing aseasonal reproduction including the number of oestrous cycles, maximum level of progesterone prior to breeding, pregnancy status determined by progesterone level, pregnancy status determined by ultrasound, lambing status and number of lambs born. Seven chromosomes (1, 3, 12, 17, 19, 20 and 24) were identified to harbour putative QTL for one or more component traits used to describe aseasonal reproduction. Ovine chromosomes 12, 17, 19 and 24 harbour QTL significant at the 5% chromosome-wide level, chromosomes 3 and 20 harbour QTL that exceeded the threshold at the 1% chromosome-wide level, while the QTL identified on chromosome 1 exceeded the 1% experiment-wide significance level. These results are a first step towards understanding the genetic mechanism of this complex trait and show that variation in aseasonal reproduction is associated with multiple chromosomal regions.     

关联分析及其在植物遗传学研究中的应用

A standardized genetic differentiation measure

Interpretation of genetic differentiation values is often problematic because of their dependence on the level of genetic variation. For example, the maximum level of GST is less than the average within population homozygosity so that for highly variable loci, even when no alleles are shared between subpopulations, GST may be low. To remedy this difficulty, a standardized measure of genetic differentiation is introduced here, one which has the same range, 0-1, for all levels of genetic variation. With this measure, the magnitude is the proportion of the maximum differentiation possible for the level of subpopulation homozygosity observed. This is particularly important for situations in which the mutation rate is of the same magnitude or higher than the rate of gene flow. The standardized measure allows comparison between loci with different levels of genetic variation, such as allozymes and microsatellite loci, or mtDNA and Y-chromosome genes, and for genetic differentiation for organisms with different effective population sizes.
