A method is described for the isolation of chromosome region specific cosmids. The 5q35 region of the long arm of human chromosome 5 was microdissected, digested with MboI, ligated to oligonucleotide adaptors, amplified by the polymerase chain reaction and cloned into a plasmid vector. Inserts which did not contain highly repetitive sequences were used to screen a chromosome 5 cosmid library by direct hybridization. There were 33 positive cosmid clones identified with 4 microclones. Individual cosmid clones were biotinylated and used as probes for fluorescence in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes. Of the 33 cosmids that were mapped, 29 localized to q35 and 4 to q34, demonstrating the specificity of the microdissection library and the cosmids. 相似文献

In our previous study, PRE-1 (a swine short interspersed nuclear element, SINE) was found to be present in the genomes of animal species related to swine ( Sus scrofa ) i.e. warthog ( Phacochoerus aethiopicus ) and collared peccary ( Tayassu tajacu ) at almost the same frequency as in Sus scrofa . In the present study, we investigated whether PRE-1 was present in hippopotamus ( Hippopotamus amphibius ), which is in the same order but in a different family to Sus scrofa . Hippopotamus amphibius was found to contain no PRE-1. Then, in order to study the localization of PRE-1 sequences at locus level and the sequence divergence of the PRE-1 of individual loci among Sus scrofa , Phacochoerus aethiopicus and Tayassu tajacu , primer sets, which can amplify PRE-1 sequences at 13 loci of swine genome with the polymerase chain reaction, were prepared to identify any corresponding sequences in Phacochoerus aethiopicus and Tayassu tajacu . Twelve and nine of the 13 primer sets identified fragments in Phacochoerus aethiopicus and Tayassu tajacu respectively. Ten of the 12 Phacochoerus aethiopicus fragments and two of the nine Tayassu tajacu fragments contained PRE-1 sequences. Based on the divergence between the corresponding PRE-1 sequences at individual loci and on the mutation rate of the pseudogenes (r=4·6×10–9 ), Phacochoerus aethiopicus and Tayassu tajacu are currently calculated to have been separated from Sus scrofa later than 1·4million years before present (MYBP) and 16·8 MYBP, respectively. 相似文献

RAPD markers are frequently used for positional cloning. However, RAPD markers often contain repeated sequences which prevent genomic library screening by hybridisation. We have developed a simple RAPD analysis of genomic libraries based on the identification of cosmid pools and clones amplifying the RAPD marker of interest. Our method does not require the cloning or characterisation of the RAPD marker as it relies on the analysis of cosmid pools or clones using a simple RAPD protocol. We applied this strategy using four RAPD markers composed of single copy or repeated sequences linked to avirulence genes of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea . Cosmids containing these RAPD markers were easily and rapidly identified allowing the construction of physical contigs at these loci. 相似文献

Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) was employed in mapping the alpha-satellite DNA that was revealed in the cosmid libraries specific for human chromosomes 13, 21, and 22. In total, 131 clones were revealed. They contained various elements of centromeric alphoid DNA sequences of acrocentric chromosomes, including those located close to SINEs, LINEs, and classical satellite sequences. The heterochromatin of acrocentric chromosomes was shown to contain two different groups of alphoid sequences: (1) those immediately adjacent to the centromeric regions (alpha 13-1, alpha 21-1, and alpha 22-1 loci) and (2) those located in the short arm of acrocentric chromosomes (alpha 13-2, alpha 21-2, and alpha 22-2 loci). Alphoid DNA sequences from the alpha 13-2, alpha 21-2, and alpha 22-2 loci are apparently not involved in the formation of centromeres and are absent from mitotically stable marker chromosomes with a deleted short arm. Robertsonian translocations t(13q; 21q) and t(14q; 22q), and chromosome 21p-. The heterochromatic regions of chromosomes 13, 21, and 22 were also shown to contain relatively chromosome-specific repetitive sequences of various alphoid DNA families, whose numerous copies occur in other chromosomes. Pools of centromeric alphoid cosmids can be of use in further studies of the structural and functional properties of heterochromatic DNA and the identification of centromeric sequences. Moreover, these clones can be employed in high-resolution mapping and in sequencing the heterochromatic regions of the human genome. The detailed FISH analysis of numerous alphoid cosmid clones allowed the identification of several new, highly specific DNA probes of molecular cytogenetic studies--in particular, the interphase and metaphase analyses of chromosomes 2, 9, 11, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21-13, 22-14, and X. 相似文献

Mutations that block the synthesis of xanthan gum by Xanthomonas campestris B1459S-4L-II were isolated as nonmucoid colonies after treatment with ethyl methanesulfonate. Complete libraries of DNA fragments from wild-type X. campestris were cloned into Escherichia coli by using a broad-host-range cosmid vector and then transferred into each mutant strain by conjugal mating. Cloned fragments that restored xanthan gum synthesis (Xgs+; mucoidy) were compared according to restriction pattern, DNA sequence homology, and complementation of a subset of Xgs- mutations. Groups of clones that contained overlapping homologous DNA were found to complement specific Xgs- mutations. The results suggest clustering of the genetic loci involved in xanthan synthesis. The clustering occurred within three unlinked regions. Two forms of complementation were observed. In most instances, independently isolated cosmid clones that complemented a single mutation were found to be partially homologous. Less frequent was the second form of complementation, in which two cosmid clones that lacked any homologous sequences restored the mucoid phenotype to a single mutant. Finally, xanthan production was measured for wild-type X. campestris carrying multiple plasmid copies of the cloned xanthan genes. 相似文献

PCR primers for the detection of materials derived from ruminants, pigs, and chickens were newly designed on the basis of sequences of the Art2 short interspersed repetitive element (SINE), PRE-1 SINE, and CR1 long interspersed repetitive element (LINE), respectively. These primers amplified the SINE or LINE from total DNA extracted from the target animals and from test feed containing commercial meat and bone meal (MBM). With the primers, detection of Art2, PRE-1, or CR1 in test feed at concentrations of 0.01% MBM or less was possible. This method was suitable for the detection of microcontamination of feed by animal materials. 相似文献

The use of synthetic tandem repeats to isolate new VNTR loci: cloning of a human hypermutable sequence. 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Synthetic tandem repeats (STRs) of oligonucleotides have previously been shown to detect polymorphic loci in the human genome. Here, we report results from the use of three such probes to screen a human cosmid library. Nine of the 45 positive clones that were analyzed appear to contain highly polymorphic minisatellite or VNTR loci. The degree of enrichment for minisatellite sequences varied with the choice of STR: one provided a 15- to 20-fold enrichment (4 polymorphic loci among 10 clones), whereas 2 others gave a 3- to 5-fold enrichment (5 polymorphic probes in a total of 35 clones) compared to random screening. The 9 VNTR markers have been localized by linkage analysis in the CEPH panel and/or by in situ hybridization. Eight probes identify new loci, one of which maps to an interstitial region. One of the VNTR loci (identified by probe CEB1) was found to be hypermutable, with 52 mutation events identified among 310 children characterized in 40 CEPH families. The parental origin of the mutation could be identified in all instances, and only one mutation was found to be of maternal origin. The mutation rate in males was estimated to be approximately 15%. Segregation analysis of flanking markers suggests that mutations are not associated with crossing over. As the only previously described hypermutable minisatellite loci in humans have equal rates of male and female mutations, these observations establish that a second type of hypermutable minisatellite exists in the human genome. In neither case does the generation of new alleles appear to be associated with unequal crossing over. 相似文献

Summary Sixty eight individual clones of a human Y chromosome cosmid library were screened for the presence of GATA. repeats, the major component of Bkm-related DNA sequences. Nine cosmid clones were found to cross-hybridize. The sequence organization of the repetitive base quadruplet GATA was analyzed using synthetic oligonucleotide probes. Subclones of GATA-positive cosmid clones were used for chromosomal localization of the Y-derived DNA sequences thus revealing male-specificity or male-female homology. 相似文献

Certain genomic sequences cannot be recovered efficiently in cosmid or lambda bacteriophage clones, presenting a barrier to efforts to construct a contiguous cloned library of a genome. We have encountered such sequences during our efforts to isolate cosmid and bacteriophage lambda clones carrying members of the human type 2 cystatin gene family. Several cosmid clones constructed in the pWE 15 vector did not survive purification, and using standard techniques, we were unable to obtain significant amounts of cosmid DNA from those clones we could purify. Similarly, several lambda bacteriophage clones constructed in the lambda DASH II vector could not be purified, and those lambda clones we were able to isolate gave low titers in liquid lysates. In this paper, we describe generally applicable methods for preparing high yields of recombinant DNA from such recalcitrant cosmid and lambda clones constructed in these vectors. 相似文献

The distribution of PRE-1 sequence (a swine SINE) among the animal species related to Sus scrofa, i.e. Phacochoerus aethiopicus and Tayassu tajacu, was examined by dot-blot analysis using PRE-1 sequences as a probe. This revealed that Phacochoerus aethiopicus and Tayassu tajacu contained PRE-1 sequences, amounts of which in their genomes are almost the same as that in the swine genome, indicating that these species separated after PRE-1 sequences proliferated to diversify in the genome. In order to estimate the time when the PRE-1 started to diversify in the swine genome, PRE-1 sequences were extracted from GenBank DNA database by homology analysis using the PRE-1 consensus sequence as a probe. The 22 PRE-1 sequences obtained were aligned and their phylogenetic relation was calculated by the neighbour-joining method. The result of the calculation combined with the mutation rate of the pseudogenes (r = 4.6 times 10-9 indicated that the PRE-1 sequence diversified at least 43.2 million years ago. Taken together, the period of time since the separation of the three species, Sus scrofa, Phacochoerus aethiopicus and Tayassu tajacu, is currently estimated to be less than 43.2 million years. 相似文献

The Friedreich's ataxia locus (FRDA) has recently been mapped to 9q13-q21 by tight linkage to D9S15 and D9S5 loci. The present lack of recombination between these loci precludes further genetic mapping and suggests that the distances involved are in the megabase range. We have established a 1-Mb map around loci D9S15 (defined by probe MCT112) and D9S5 (defined by probe DR47) and found that they are at most 260 apart. Six rare cutting site clusters were found in a 450-kb segment containing both loci. Three clusters were completely unmethylated in two cell lines tested and might correspond to CpG islands flanking transcribed sequences. Cosmid mapping of a 52-kb region around D9S5 and pulse-field gel electrophoresis analysis showed the presence of three other CpG clusters that were partially or completely methylated. Two of them were present in the cosmid clones available and were associated with sequences conserved in other vertebrate species. The CpG islands and conserved sequences presented here can be used to search for genes defective in Friedreich's ataxia. 相似文献

Structural relationship of human interferon alpha genes and pseudogenes 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

We have isolated and characterized DNA segments containing IFN-alpha-related sequences from human lambda and cosmid clone banks. We describe six linkage groups comprising 18 distinct IFN-alpha-related loci, and report the nucleotide sequences of nine chromosomal IFN-alpha-genes with intact reading frames, as well as of five pseudogenes. Taking into account as yet unsequenced genes as well as clones described by others, there are now seven linkage groups and 23 loci, of which 15 correspond to potentially functional genes and six to non-functional genes; two loci remain unsequenced. Eighteen additional sequences are likely to be allelic to the above. The finding that at least two IFN-alpha genes appear to be natural hybrids of other IFN-alpha genes, and that two distinct IFN-alpha loci have completely identical coding sequences, although their flanking regions are different, is evidence for information exchange between the individual genes. 相似文献

cDNA surveying is a straightforward approach for identifying sequences in genomic clones expressed in specific tissues. It has been applied to a subchromosomal region of human chromosome 19 (19q13.2-q13.4), a region that contains several known expressed sequences including the locus for myotonic dystrophy (DM). Genomic clones were selected from this region by probing a human placental cosmid library with a chromosome 19q-specific minisatellite sequence, or human genomic clones were isolated from a cosmid library constructed from a human chromosome 19q13.2-q13.3 hamster hybrid cell line using human repetitive DNA as probe. Pooled cDNAs synthesized from RNA of specific tissues characteristically affected in DM were depleted in repetitive sequences and used as hybridization probes against gridded cosmid arrays. DNA from the cDNA-positive cosmid clones was transferred to nylon filters and reprobed with cDNAs to identify restriction fragments that were expressed in these tissues. Hybridizing restriction fragments were subcloned, sequenced, and demonstrated to be nonrepetitive. Primer pairs complementary to subcloned sequences were constructed and used for PCR amplification of cDNA synthesized from RNA of tissues affected in myotonic dystrophy. PCR products were sequenced to verify the identity of expressed genomic DNA and its corresponding cDNA. 相似文献

We report the isolation of a set of hypervariable minisatellite DNA sequences from a blue tit Parus caeruleus genomic DNA library. In our strategy, we cloned a minisatellite-rich DNA fraction into a charomid vector. The resulting cosmid library was screened with the two minisatellite DNA probes 33.6 and 33.15 for recombinants containing a minisatellite DNA insert. A total of 233 positive clones were isolated. Of 37 clones that have been analysed, nine gave polymorphic signals and can be used as single locus probes (SLPs). Four of the SLPs were investigated in more detail. The number of alleles, the heterozygosity and the mutation rate were estimated. Linkage analysis revealed that two of these loci were linked. The SLPs are of value to studies of the mating system and reproductive success in the blue tit, and may also be useful in population genetic studies. 相似文献

Three sets of linkage maps (index, comprehensive microsatellite, and unified) have been constructed for human chromosome 14 based on genotypes from the CEPH reference pedigrees. The index maps consist of 18 microsatellite markers, with heterozygosities of at least 68% and intermarker spacing no greater than 11 cM. The sex-average comprehensive microsatellite map is 125 cM in length and includes 115 markers with 54 loci uniquely placed with odds for marker order of at least 1000:1. The sex-average index map length is 121 cM, and the female- and male-specific maps are 143 and 101 cM, respectively. A unified map was also constructed from 147 loci (162 marker systems), which includes 32 RFLP markers in addition to the 115 microsatellites. The sex-average length of the unified map is 128 cM with 69 loci uniquely placed. Our maps are anchored by a microsatellite telomere marker sCAW1 (D14S826), developed from a telomere YAC clone TYAC196, which extends the linkage map to the physical terminus of the long arm of chromosome 14. Furthermore, we have also physically mapped seven of the loci by fluorescencein situhybridization of cosmid clones orAlu-PCR products amplified from YACs containing the marker sequences. Together with previously established cytogenetic map designations for other loci, our maps display links between genetic markers for 10 of 13 cytogenetic bands of chromosome 14 at the 550 genome band resolution. 相似文献

Swine genomic DNA segments containing repetitive sequences were isolated from a porcine genomic library using genomic DNA as a probe. Three fragments containing the repetitive sequences from two of the primary phage clones were subcloned for sequence analysis, which revealed six new PRE-1 repetitive families other than those reported earlier by Singer et al. (Nucleic Acids Research 15, 2780, 1987). The frequency of the repetitive sequences in the swine genome was estimated at 2 x 10(6) per diploid genome. Sequence analysis revealed similarities between these repetitive sequences and that of arginine-tRNA gene. 相似文献
