We demonstrate a reliable method for mapping conventional loci and obtaining meiotic linkage data for the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila. By coupling nullisomic deletion mapping with meiotic linkage mapping, loci known to be located on a particular chromosome or chromosome arm can be tested for recombination. This approach has been used to map three isozyme loci, EstA (Esterase A), EstB (Esterase B), and AcpA (Acid Phosphatase A), with respect to the ChxA locus (cycloheximide resistance) and 11 RAPDs (randomly amplified polymorphic DNAs). To assign isozyme loci to chromosomes, clones of inbred strains C3 or C2 were crossed to inbred strain B nullisomics. EstA, EstB and AcpA were mapped to chromosomes 1R, 3L and 3R, respectively. To test EstA and AcpA for linkage to known RAPD loci on their respective chromosomes, a panel of Round II (genomic exclusion) segregants from a B/C3 heterozygote was used. Using the MAPMAKER program, EstA was assigned to the ChxA linkage group on chromosome 1R, and a detailed map was constructed that includes 10 RAPDs. AcpA (on 3R), while unlinked to all the RAPDs assigned to chromosome 3 by nullisomic mapping, does show linkage to a RAPD not yet assignable to chromosomes by nullisomic mapping. 相似文献

Genetic Map of Randomly Amplified DNA Polymorphisms Closely Linked to the Mating Type Locus of Tetrahymena Thermophila 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
We have used the PCR-based randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method to efficiently identify and map DNA polymorphisms in the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila. The polymorphisms segregate as Mendelian genetic markers. A targeted screen, using DNA from pooled meiotic segregants, yielded the polymorphisms most closely linked to the mat locus. A total of 10 polymorphisms linked to the mat-Pmr segment of the left arm of micronuclear chromosome 2 have been identified. This constitutes the largest linkage group described in T. thermophila. We also provide here the first crude estimate of the frequency of meiotic recombination in the mat region, 20 kb/cM. This frequency is much higher than that observed in most other eukaryotes. Special features of Tetrahymena genetics enhanced the power of the RAPD method: the ability to obtain in a single step meiotic segregants that are whole-genome homozygotes and the availability of nullisomic strains permitting quick deletion mapping of polymorphisms to micronuclear chromosomes or chromosome segments. The RAPD method appears to provide a practical and relatively inexpensive approach to the construction of a high-resolution map of the Tetrahymena genome. 相似文献

Random sequence oligonucleotide primers detect polymorphic DNA products which segregate in inbred strains of mice 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) using primers of arbitrary nucleotide sequence has been extremely valuable in identifying heritable markers in a variety of systems. The present studies examined whether the RAPD technique can identify large numbers of polymorphisms that can be used to construct genetic maps in inbred strains of mice. By screening the inbred mouse strains C57BL/6J and DBA/2J with 481 random 10-mer oligonucleotide primers, we identified 95 polymorphisms and mapped 76 of these by use of the BXD series of recombinant inbred (RI) strains. The results clearly demonstrate that the RAPD technique allows for the identification of large numbers of DNA-based polymorphisms that distinguish these two inbred strains of mice,and that such markers can readily be used to construct molecular genetic linkage maps. 相似文献

A genetic linkage map of the basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus was constructed on the basis of the segregation of 219 RAPD markers, 28 RFLP markers and the A and B mating-type loci among 40 random basidiospore progeny from a single cross between a wild-type homokaryon, KF(3)#2, and an AmutBmut strain, #326. Thirteen linkage groups covering a total of 1346cM were identified and correlated to the 13 chromosomes of this fungus by hybridization of RFLP and RAPD marker probes to CHEF blots. These probes also revealed chromosome length polymorphisms (CLP), which could be associated with haplotype plots of the progeny. The average kb/cM ratio in this cross was approximately 27.9kb/cM. The AmutBmut strain undergoes sexual development without mating, because of mutations in both A and B mating-type loci, and has been used to identify mutations affecting developmental processes such as dikaryosis, fruit body morphogenesis, and meiosis. The markers in the map, especially the RAPD ones, would facilitate mapping of genes responsible for such mutations induced in the AmutBmut strain. 相似文献

Thirty endogenous proviruses belonging to the modified polytropic (Mpmv) class of murine leukemia virus (MLV) were identified by proviral-cellular DNA junction fragment segregation in several sets of recombinant inbred mice. Twenty-six Mpmv loci were mapped to chromosomal regions by matching proviral strain distribution patterns to those of previously assigned genes. Like other endogenous nonecotropic MLVs, Mpmv loci were present on several chromosomes in all strains examined. We pooled recombinant inbred strain linkage data from 110 MLV loci and selected marker genes in order to construct a chromosomal linkage map. Every mouse chromosome was found to harbor at least one proviral insertion, and several regions contained multiple integrations. However, the overall distribution of the 110 mapped proviruses did not deviate significantly from a random distribution. Because of their polymorphism in inbred strains of mice, and the ability to score as many as 57 proviruses per strain using only three hybridization probes, the nonecotropic MLVs mapped in common strains of mice offer a significant advantage over older methods (e.g., biochemical or individual restriction fragment polymorphisms) as genetic markers. These endogenous insertion elements should also be useful for assessing strain purity, and for studying the relatedness of common and not-so-common inbred strains. 相似文献

We present a genetic map for Xenopus tropicalis, consisting of 2886 Simple Sequence Length Polymorphism (SSLP) markers. Using a bioinformatics-based strategy, we identified unique SSLPs within the X. tropicalis genome. Scaffolds from X. tropicalis genome assembly 2.0 (JGI) were scanned for Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs); unique SSRs were then tested for amplification and polymorphisms using DNA from inbred Nigerian and Ivory Coast individuals. Thus identified, the SSLPs were genotyped against a mapping cross panel of DNA samples from 190 F2 individuals. Nearly 4000 SSLPs were genotyped, yielding a 2886-marker genetic map consisting of 10 major linkage groups between 73 and 132 cM in length, and 4 smaller linkage groups between 7 and 40 cM. The total effective size of the map is 1658 cM, and the average intermarker distance for each linkage group ranged from 0.27 to 0.75 cM. Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) was carried out using probes for genes located on mapped scaffolds to assign linkage groups to chromosomes. Comparisons of this map with the X. tropicalis genome Assembly 4.1 (JGI) indicate that the map provides representation of a minimum of 66% of the X. tropicalis genome, incorporating 758 of the approximately 1300 scaffolds over 100,000 bp. The genetic map and SSLP marker database constitute an essential resource for genetic and genomic analyses in X. tropicalis. 相似文献

RAPD-based genetic linkage maps of Tribolium castaneum. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
A genetic map of the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) integrating molecular with morphological markers was constructed using a backcross population of 147 siblings. The map defines 10 linkage groups (LGs), presumably corresponding to the 10 chromosomes, and consists of 122 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, six molecular markers representing identified genes, and five morphological markers. The total map length is 570 cM, giving an average marker resolution of 4.3 cM. The average physical distance per genetic distance was estimated at 350 kb/cM. A cluster of loci showing distorted segregation was detected on LG9. The process of converting RAPD markers to sequence-tagged site markers was initiated: 18 RAPD markers were cloned and sequenced, and single-strand conformational polymorphisms were identified for 4 of the 18. The map positions of all 4 coincided with those of the parent RAPD markers. 相似文献

Identification and genetic mapping of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers to the sheep genome 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay utilizes the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and short primers of arbitrary
nucleotide sequence to amplify DNA. In this study, the RAPD assay was used to identify and map polymorphic markers in the
AgResearch International Mapping Flock (IMF) sheep pedigrees. Sires and dams of eight of the full-sib IMF pedigrees were screened
with 131 different 10-mer oligonucleotide primers. An average of 85 RAPD polymorphisms was identified between each parental
pair, and 53 markers were contributed to the AgResearch IMF collaboration. Forty-five of the RAPD markers were mapped in the
AgResearch IMF genetic linkage map, and at least one marker was located on 17 of the 26 autosomes and both sex chromosomes.
Three lines of evidence were used to check for the homology of scored polymorphisms in different pedigrees, pedigree evaluation,
segregation analysis, and Southern blot analysis. These results demonstrate that the RAPD assay is a powerful approach for
identifying polymorphisms that can be used as markers for constructing a sheep genetic linkage map.

A 356-marker linkage map of Glycine max (L.) Merr. (2n = 20) was established by anchoring 106 RAPD markers to an existing RFLP map built with a large recombinant inbred line population (330 RILs). This map comprises 24 major and 11 minor linkage groups for this genome which is estimated to be approximately 3,275 cM. The RAPD markers show similar distribution throughout the genome and identified similar levels of polymorphism as the RFLP markers used in the framework. By using a subset population to anchor the RAPD markers, it was possible to enhance the throughput of selecting and adding reliable marker loci to the existing map. The procedures to generate a dependable genetic linkage map are also described in this report. 相似文献

We have used a complementary DNA (cDNA) for mouse alpha A-crystallin to probe genomic DNA for restriction fragment length polymorphisms which could be used to map the alpha A-crystallin gene locus (Acry-1) in the mouse genome. Ten of 12 restriction endonucleases produced fragment polymorphism among various inbred strains of mice. A comprehensive strain survey conducted with six endonucleases resulted in the discovery of six allelic forms of Acry-1. Linkage analysis was conducted on DNA from three sets of recombinant inbred strains of mice and demonstrated close linkage of Acry-1 with the major histocompatibility complex (H-2) on chromosome 17. Analysis of congenic and recombinant congenic strains of mice confirmed the linkage of Acry-1 and H-2 and located the alpha A gene to the region between glyoxylase (Glo-1) and H-2K. 相似文献

A genetic linkage map covering a large region of the genome with informative markers is essential for plant genome analysis, including identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs), map-based cloning, and construction of a physical map. We constructed a soybean genetic linkage map using 190 F2 plants derived from a single cross between the soybean varieties Misuzudaizu and Moshidou Gong 503, based on restriction-fragment-length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and simple-sequence-repeat polymorphisms (SSRPs). This linkage map has 503 markers, including 189 RFLP markers derived from expressed sequence tag (EST) clones, and consists of 20 major linkage groups that may correspond to the 20 pairs of soybean chromosomes, covering 2908.7 cM of the soybean genome in the Kosambi function. Using this linkage map, we identified 4 QTLs--FT1, FT2, FT3, and FT4--for flowering time, the QTLs for the 5 largest principal components determining leaflet shape, 6 QTLs for single leaflet area, and 18 regions of segregation distortion. All 503 analyzed markers identified were located on the map, and almost all phenotypic variations in flowering time were explained by the detected QTLs. These results indicate that this map covers a large region of the soybean genome. 相似文献

A segregating population of single basidiospore isolates from a sexual cross was used to generate the first moderately dense genetic linkage map of Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans (Serotype D). Polymorphic DNA markers were developed using amplified fragment length polymorphisms, random amplified polymorphic DNA, and gene-encoding sequences. These markers were used to analyze 100 meiotic progeny. All markers were tested for distorted segregation with a goodness of fit test. Of the total of 181 markers, 148 showed balanced (1:1) segregation ratios. Segregation distortion was observed for 33 markers. Based on all the markers, a linkage map was generated that consists of 14 major linkage groups with 127 markers, several small linkage groups, and 2 linkage groups that consist only of highly skewed markers. The genetic distance of the linkage map is 1356.3 cM. The estimated total haploid genome size for C. neoformans var. neoformans was calculated using Hulberts method and yielded a map size of 1917 cM. The number of major linkage groups correlates well with the proposed number of 13 chromosomes for C. neoformans var. neoformans. Several genes, including CAP64, CnLAC, and the mating-type locus, were mapped, and their associations were consistent with published data. To date, 6 linkage groups have been assigned to their corresponding chromosomes. This linkage map should provide a framework for the ongoing genome sequencing project and will be a useful tool for studying the genetics and pathogenicity of this important medical yeast. 相似文献

A genetic linkage map of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) developed from a cross between two inbred, domesticated lines 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We have constructed a genetic linkage map within the cultivated gene pool of cowpea (2n=2x=22) from an F8 recombinant inbred population (94 individuals) derived from a cross between the inbreds IT84S-2049 and 524B. These breeding
lines, developed in Nigeria and California, show contrasting reactions against several pests and diseases and differ in several
morphological traits. Parental lines were screened with 332 random RAPD decamers, 74 RFLP probes (bean, cowpea and mung bean
genomic DNA clones), and 17 AFLP primer combinations. RAPD primers were twice as efficient as AFLP primers and RFLP probes
in detecting polymorphisms in this cross. The map consists of 181 loci, comprising 133 RAPDs, 19 RFLPs, 25 AFLPs, three morphological/classical
markers, and a biochemical marker (dehydrin). These markers identified 12 linkage groups spanning 972 cM with an average distance
of 6.4 cM between markers. Linkage groups ranged from 3 to 257 cM in length and included from 2 to 41 markers, respectively.
A gene for earliness was mapped on linkage group 2. Seed weight showed a significant association with a RAPD marker on linkage
group 5. This map should facilitate the identification of markers that “tag” genes for pest and disease resistance and other
traits in the cultivated gene pool of cowpea.

A gene controlling sex in grapevines placed on a molecular marker-based genetic map. 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Genetic maps of Vitis (2n = 38) have been constructed from an interspecific hybrid population of 58 seedlings of the cross 'Horizon' ('Seyval' x 'Schuyler') x Illinois 547-1 (V. cinerea B9 x V. rupestris B38). The maps were initially constructed based on 277 RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) markers using a double-pseudotestcross strategy. Subsequently, 25 microsatellites, 4 CAPS (cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence), and 12 AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) markers were added to the maps. Another 120 markers, mostly those segregating 3:1, were also assigned but not positioned on the linkage groups in the two maps. The 'Horizon' map consisted of 153 markers covering 1199 cM, with an average map distance of 7.6 cM between markers. The Illinois 547-1 map had 179 markers covering 1470 cM, with an average map distance of 8.1 cM. There were 20 linkage groups in each map, one more than the basic number of chromosomes in grapes. Ten linkage groups in each map were identified as homologous using 16 microsatellite and 2 CAPS markers polymorphic in both parents. A single locus controlling sex in grapes mapped close to a microsatellite marker. These maps provide enough coverage of the genome for QTL (quantitative trait loci) analysis and as a starting point for positional gene cloning in grapes. 相似文献

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were developed as genetic markers for Bremia lactucae, the biotrophic Oomycete fungus which causes lettuce downy mildew. By using 55 genomic and cDNA probes, a total of 61 RFLP loci were identified among three heterothallic isolates of B. lactucae. Of these 61 RFLP loci, 53 were heterozygous in at least one of the three strains and thus were informative for linkage analysis in at least one of two F1 crosses that were performed. Analysis of the cosegregation of these 53 RFLPs, eight avirulence loci and the mating type locus allowed the construction of a preliminary genetic linkage map consisting of 13 small linkage groups. Based on the extent of linkage detected among probes, the genome of B. lactucae can be estimated to be approximately 2000 cM. Linkage was detected between a RFLP locus and an avirulence gene, providing a potential starting point for chromosome walking to clone an avirulence gene. The high frequency of DNA polymorphism in naturally occurring isolates and the proper Mendelian segregation of loci detected by low copy number probes indicates that it will be possible to construct a detailed genetic map of B. lactucae using RFLPs as markers. The method of analysis employed here should be applicable to many other outbreeding, heterozygous species for which defined inbred lines are not available. 相似文献

A first linkage map of olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars using RAPD,AFLP, RFLP and SSR markers 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The first linkage map of the olive (Olea europaea L.) genome has been constructed using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) as dominant markers and a few restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) and simple-sequence repeats (SSR) as codominant markers. Ninety-five individuals of a cross progeny derived from two highly heterozygous olive cultivars, Leccino and Dolce Agogia, were used by applying the pseudo test-cross strategy. From 61 RAPD primers 279 markers were obtained - 158 were scored for Leccino and 121 for Dolce Agogia. Twenty-one AFLP primer combinations gave 304 useful markers - 160 heterozygous in Leccino and 144 heterozygous in Dolce Agogia. In the Leccino map 249 markers (110 RAPD, 127 AFLP, 8 RFLP and 3 SSR) were linked. This resulted in 22 major linkage groups and 17 minor groups with fewer than four markers. In the Dolce Agogia map, 236 markers (93 RAPD, 133 AFLP, 6 RFLP and 4 SSR) were linked; 27 major linkage groups and three minor groups were obtained. Codominant RFLPs and SSRs, as well as few RAPDs in heteroduplex configuration, were used to establish homologies between linkage groups of both parents. The total distance covered was 2,765 cM and 2,445 cM in the Leccino and Dolce Agogia maps, respectively. The mean map distance between adjacent markers was 13.2 cM in Leccino and 11.9 cM in Dolce Agogia, respectively. Both AFLP and RAPD markers were homogeneously distributed in all of the linkage groups reported. The stearoyl-ACP desaturase gene was mapped on linkage group 4 of cv. Leccino. 相似文献

The chromosomes of the macronuclear (expressed) genome of Tetrahymena thermophila are generated by developmental fragmentation of the five micronuclear (germline) chromosomes. This fragmentation is site specific, directed by a conserved chromosome breakage sequence (Cbs element). An accompanying article in this issue reports the development of a successful scheme for the genome-wide cloning and identification of functional chromosome breakage sites. This article reports the physical and genetic characterization of 30 functional chromosome breakage junctions. Unique sequence tags and physical sizes were obtained for the pair of macronuclear chromosomes generated by fragmentation at each Cbs. Cbs-associated polymorphisms were used to genetically map 11 junctions to micronuclear linkage groups and macronuclear coassortment groups. Two pairs of junctions showed statistically significant similarity of the sequences flanking the Cbs, suggestive of relatively recent duplications of entire Cbs junctions during Tetrahymena genome evolution. Two macronuclear chromosomes that lose at least one end in an age-related manner were also identified. The whole-genome shotgun sequencing of the Tetrahymena macronucleus has recently been completed at The Institute for Genome Research (TIGR). By providing unique sequence from natural ends of macronuclear chromosomes, Cbs junctions will provide useful sequence tags for relating macro- and micronuclear genetic, physical, and whole-genome sequence maps. 相似文献

Assignment of the structural gene for argininosuccinate synthetase to proximal mouse chromosome 2 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In order to develop linkage markers for the murine argininosuccinate synthetase locus (Ass-1), we have searched for restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the mouse genome using cloned sequences from the mouse arginosuccinate synthetase structural gene. Five restriction fragment length polymorphisms were found among the recombinant inbred progenitor strains AKR/J, BALB/cByJ, C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6J, C57L/J, DBA/2J, and SWR/J. Of these, four polymorphisms were found to distinguish the SWR/J strain from the other six strains, which all had the same fragment. The fifth polymorphism revealed differences among the progenitor strains for recombinant inbred strain sets AKXL, BXD, and SWXL. The strain distribution pattern for this polymorphism indicated close linkage of Ass-1 to Hc (the fifth component of complement) on proximal mouse chromosome 2 with a recombination fraction of 0.016 and a 95% confidence interval of 0.003 to 0.054. These data place Ass-1 in a syntenic group with the genes Hc, Abl, Fpgs, and Ak-1 whose linkage has been conserved between human chromosome 9q and mouse chromosome 2. 相似文献

Oligonucleotide primers of random sequence that were 12 bases in length, 58% in GC content, and lacking internal palindromes were designed. By random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) PCR, these primers were used to survey for DNA variations between the progenitors of the mouse AXB and BXA recombinant inbred sets (A/J and C57BL/6J). We identified 17 DNA variants detected by 10 primers. Map positions for these variants were determined by comparing their strain distribution patterns in the AXB, BXA recombinant inbred sets with strain distribution patterns of previously published loci. When necessary, BXD and NXSM recombinant inbred sets were also used. These 17 new loci mapped to 12 chromosomes. The 10 primers were also used to survey 20 inbred mouse strains including the progenitors of other recombinant inbred sets and four mouse strains recently inbred from the wild (CAST/Ei, MOLF/Ei, PERA/Ei, and SPRET/Ei). 相似文献
