Pancreatic and salivary amylase cDNA probes have been used to search for new DNA fragment length variation among a total of 43 inbred mouse strains. Fragment length differences found with three restriction endonucleases grouped the strains into two major classes. The segregation of these variant fragments has been analyzed among several sets of recombinant inbred strains and is presented here. Previously reported differences for strains YBR and CE have been confirmed. New segregation data for carbonic anhydrase, a locus near the proximal end of mouse chromosome 3, are presented. 相似文献

Molecular mechanisms of salty taste in mammals are not completely understood. We use genetic approaches to study these mechanisms. Previously, we developed a high-throughput procedure to measure NaCl taste thresholds, which involves conditioning mice to avoid LiCl and then examining avoidance of NaCl solutions presented in 48-h 2-bottle preference tests. Using this procedure, we measured NaCl taste thresholds of mice from 13 genealogically divergent inbred stains: 129P3/J, A/J, BALB/cByJ, C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6ByJ, C57BL/6J, CBA/J, CE/J, DBA/2J, FVB/NJ, NZB/BlNJ, PWK/PhJ, and SJL/J. We found substantial strain variation in NaCl taste thresholds: mice from the A/J and 129P3/J strains had high thresholds (were less sensitive), whereas mice from the BALB/cByJ, C57BL/6J, C57BL/6ByJ, CE/J, DBA/2J, NZB/BINJ, and SJL/J had low thresholds (were more sensitive). NaCl taste thresholds measured in this study did not significantly correlate with NaCl preferences or amiloride sensitivity of chorda tympani nerve responses to NaCl determined in the same strains in other studies. To examine whether strain differences in NaCl taste thresholds could have been affected by variation in learning ability or sensitivity to toxic effects of LiCl, we used the same method to measure citric acid taste thresholds in 4 inbred strains with large differences in NaCl taste thresholds but similar acid sensitivity in preference tests (129P3/J, A/J, C57BL/6J, and DBA/2J). Citric acid taste thresholds were similar in these 4 strains. This suggests that our technique measures taste quality-specific thresholds that are likely to represent differences in peripheral taste responsiveness. The strain differences in NaCl taste sensitivity found in this study provide a basis for genetic analysis of this phenotype. 相似文献

Telomere length and telomerase activity directly affect the replicative capacity of primary human cells. Some have suggested that telomere length influences organismal lifespan. We compared telomere length distributions in a number of inbred and outbred established mouse strains with those of strains recently derived from wild mice. Telomere length was considerably shorter in wild-derived strains than in the established strains. We found no correlation of telomere length with lifespan, even among closely related inbred mouse strains. Thus, while telomere length plays a role in cellular lifespan in cultured human cells, it is not a major factor in determining organismal lifespan. 相似文献

Noradrenaline (NA) and dopamine (DA) contents in various brain regions and their dependence on genotype, determining predisposition to domination, were studied during 7 days after the formation of artificial micropopulations consisting of 6 male mice of different genotypes. Significant changes of NA level were found in the olfactory bulbs and in the medulla oblongata and of DA in the hypothalamus and the hippocampus. Genotypic differences in NA levels were found in the hypothalamus and in DA levels--in the hippocampus. Reactions of RT males predisposed to domination differed both in noradrenaline and DA systems of the brain from the reactions of the males genetically predisposed to subordinate type of behaviour. Interconnection between the amines content both inside and between catecholamine systems was revealed. 相似文献

This is the first phenotypic analysis of 75 new recombinant inbred (RI) strains derived from ILS and ISS progenitors. We analyzed
body weight in two independent cohorts of female mice at various ages and in males at 60 days. Body weight is a complex trait
which has been mapped in numerous crosses in rodents. The LXS RI strains displayed a large range of weights, transgressing
those of the inbred progenitors, supporting the utility of this large panel for mapping traits not selected in the progenitors.
Numerous QTLs for body weight mapped in single- and multilocus scans. We assessed replication between these and previously
reported QTLs based on overlapping confidence intervals of published QTLs for body weight at 60 days and used meta-analyses
to determine combined p values for three QTL regions located on Chromosomes 4, 5, and 11. Strain distribution patterns of microsatellite marker genotypes,
weight, and other phenotypes are available on WebQTL () and allow genetic mapping of any heritable quantitative phenotype measured in these strains. We report one such analysis,
correlating brain and body weights. Large reference panels of RI strains, such as the LXS, are invaluable for identifying
genetic correlations, GXE (Gene X Environment) interactions, and replicating previously identified QTLs.

Rauscher virus causes in inbred Balb/c mice a rapidly progressing hyperacute, in C57B1/10Sn mice an incipient, spontaneously healing leukaemia. In DBA/1 and DBA/2 mice the appearance of leukaemia is followed by a partial remissions then by an exacerbation of the disease. The infection in C57B1/10Sn, DBA/1 and DBA/2 mice results in a significant tumour-specific immune response. Inhibition of the immune response is followed by an increased progression of leukaemia in DBA/1 and DBA/2 mice only. It is assumed that in C57B1/10Sn mice the remission of incipient leukaemia is associated with a resistance determined in the target cells, whereas in DBA/1 and DBA/2 mice the remission is due to a tumour-specific immune response. As in animals treated with anti-lymphocyte and anti-thymocyte serum the course of the disease runs proportionally to the degree of the inhibition of the immune response, the tumour-specific antibodies play a decisive role in the elimination of the tumour cells. In Balb/c, DBA/1 and DBA/2 mouse strains failing to exhibit a spontaneous reversion of the tumour cells, the appearance of a significant tumour-specific immune response depends on the resistance against the helper component of the Rauscher virus complex. 相似文献

Microsatellites are 50–200 repetitive DNA sequences composed of 1- to 6-base-pair-long reiterative motifs within the genome. They are vulnerable to DNA modifications, such as recombination and/or integration, and are recognized as “sentinel” DNA. Our previous report indicated that the genotypes of the microsatellite loci could change from mono- to poly-morphisms (CMP) in gene knockout (KO) mice, implying that genetic modification induces microsatellite mutation. However, it is still unclear whether the random insertion of DNA fragments into mice genomes produced via transgene (Tg) or N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) would also result in microsatellite mutations or microsatellite loci genotypes changes. This study was designed to find possible clues to answer this question. In brief, 198 microsatellite loci that were distributed among almost all of the chromosomes (except for the Y) were examined through polymerase chain reaction to screen possible CMPs in six Tg strains. First, for each strain, the microsatellite sequences of all loci were compared between Tg and the corresponding background strain to exclude genetic interference. Simultaneously, to exclude spontaneous mutation-related CMPs that might exist in the examined six strains, mice from five spontaneously mutated inbred strains were used as the negative controls. Additionally, the sequences of all loci in these spontaneous mutated mice were compared to corresponding genetic background controls. The results showed that 40 of the 198 (20.2 %) loci were identified as having CMPs in the examined Tg mice strains. The CMP genotypes were either homozygous or heterozygous compared to the background controls. Next, we applied the 40 CMP positive loci in ENU-mutated mice and their corresponding background controls. After that, a general comparison of CMPs that exist among Tg, ENU-treated and KO mouse strains was performed. The results indicated that four (D11mit258, D13mit3, D14mit102 and DXmit172) of the 40 (10 %) CMP loci were shared by Tg and KO mice, two (D15mit5 and D14mit102) (5 %) by Tg and ENU-treated mice, and one (D14mit102) (2.5 %) by all three genetic modifications. Collectively, our study implies that genetic modifications by KO, Tg or chemical mutant can trigger microsatellite CMPs in inbred mouse strains. These shared microsatellite loci could be regarded as “hot spots” of microsatellite mutation for genetic monitoring in genetic modified mice. 相似文献

The collection of classical inbred mouse strains displays heritable variation in a large number of complex traits. Many generations of historical recombination have contributed to the panel of classical strain genomes, raising the possibility that quantitative trait loci could be located with high resolution by correlating strain genotypes and phenotypes. Although this association mapping framework has been successful in several empirical applications, its expected performance remains unclear. We used computer simulations based on a publicly available, dense single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) map to measure the power and false-positive rate of association mapping on a genomic scale across 30 commonly used classical inbred strains. Expected power is (i) often low for phenotypic effect sizes that are realistic for complex traits, (ii) highly variable across the genome, and (iii) correlated with linkage disequilibrium, aspects of the allele frequency distribution, and haplotype characteristics, as predicted by theory. Simulations also demonstrate clear potential for spurious associations to be generated by unequal relatedness among the strains. These findings suggest that association mapping in the classical strains is best applied in combination with other procedures, such as QTL mapping. 相似文献

In total, 41 different microsatellite variants have been typed in one or more of four different sets of recombinant inbred (RI) mouse strains. Microsatellite variants were selected that were located in chromosomal regions previously lacking markers. These markers extend the regions swept in these RI strains. 相似文献

Genetic affinities of inbred mouse strains of uncertain origin 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:4
Phylogenetic analyses of genetic data arising from 144 gene loci are used
to describe the interrelationships among 24 widely used inbred strains of
mice. An unordered-parsimony analysis gives a cladogram that is virtually
identical to the known genealogy of the mouse strains. A loss-parsimony
analysis is used to evaluate the hypothesis that the observed patterns of
genetic divergence among these 24 strains can be explained by the
segregation of residual heterozygosity arising from a small population of
highly heterozygous mice. The loss-parsimony cladogram is very similar to
both the unordered-parsimony cladogram and the known genealogy of the mice.
The phylogenetic analyses of these 144 loci are integrated with data on the
type and origin of the Y chromosome. Inclusion of the Y-chromosome data
provides additional insights into the genetic composition of several of the
original stocks used to produce the current inbred strains of mice. Ten
strains of uncertain origin are contained in these analyses, including AKR,
BUB, CE, I, NZB, P, RF, SJL, ST, and SWR. SJL is hypothesized to have been
derived from the same Swiss albino stock previously used to produce SWR.
The BUB strain appears to have had a complex origin and shows closest
genetic similarity to SWR and ST. AKR and RF are shown to be closely
related, while the I strain shows greatest genetic similarity to DBA/2 for
the 144 loci. However, I and DBA possess different types of Y chromosome.
The NZB strain shows genetic similarity to several stocks of both U.S. and
European origins. The power of the genetic data used in these analyses
reiterates that inbred strains of mice can be a valuable paradigm for
studies in evolutionary biology.

Meiotic drive is an evolutionary force in which natural selection is uncoupled from organismal fitness. Recently, it has been proposed that meiotic drive and genetic drift represent major forces in the evolution of the mammalian karyotype. Meiotic drive involves two types of genetic elements, Responders and Distorters , the latter being required to induce transmission ratio distortion at the former. We have previously described the Om meiotic drive system in mouse chromosome 11. To investigate the natural history of this drive system we have characterized the alleles present at the distorter in wild-derived inbred strains. Our analysis of transmission of maternal alleles in both classical and wild-derived inbred strains indicated that driving alleles are found at high frequency in natural populations and that the existence of driving alleles predates the split between the Mus spicilegus and M. musculus lineages. © 2005 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2005, 84 , 487–492. 相似文献
