Comparative genome mapping with mobile physical map landmarks.   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3       下载免费PDF全文
We describe a method for comparative macrorestriction mapping of the chromosomes of Escherichia coli strains. In this method, a series of physically tagged E. coli K-12 alleles serve as mobile landmarks for mapping DNAs from other strains. This technique revealed evidence of strain-specific chromosomal additions or deletions in a pathogenic isolate and can be applied to most strains, yielding information on genealogy as well as virulence. In theory, the same strategy can be used to map and compare genomic DNAs from a wide variety of species.  相似文献

A sunflower BAC library consisting of 147,456 clones with an average size of 118 kb has been constructed and characterized. It represents approximately 5× sunflower haploid genome equivalents. The BAC library has been arranged in pools and superpools of DNA allowing screening with various PCR-based markers. Each of the 32 superpools contains 4,608 clones and corresponds to a 36 matrix pools. Thus, the screening of the entire library could be accomplished in less than 80 PCR reactions including positive and negative controls. As a demonstration of the feasibility of the concept, a set of 24 SSR markers covering about 36 cM in the sunflower SSR map (Tang et al. in Theor Appl Genet 105:1124–1136, 2002) have been used to screen the BAC library. About 125 BAC clones have been identified and then organized in 23 contigs by HindIII digestion. The contigs are anchored on the SSR map and thus constitutes a first-generation physical map of this region. The utility of this BAC library as a genomic resource for physical mapping and map-based cloning in sunflower is discussed.  相似文献

New techniques for physical mapping of the human genome.   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
We describe improvements in techniques and strategies used for making maps of the human genome. The methods currently used are changing and evolving rapidly. Today's techniques can produce ordered arrays of DNA fragments and overlapping sets of DNA clones covering extensive genomic regions, but they are relatively slow and tedious. Methods under development will speed the process considerably. New developments include a range of applications of the polymerase chain reaction, enhanced procedures for high resolution in situ hybridization, and improved methods for generating, manipulating, and cloning large DNA fragments. More detailed genetic and physical maps will be useful for finding genes, including those associated with human diseases, long before the complete DNA sequence of the human genome is available.  相似文献

A comparative physical map of the AA genome (Oryza sativa) and the BB genome (O. punctata) was constructed by aligning a physical map of O. punctata, deduced from 63,942 BAC end sequences (BESs) and 34,224 fingerprints, onto the O. sativa genome sequence. The level of conservation of each chromosome between the two species was determined by calculating a ratio of BES alignments. The alignment result suggests more divergence of intergenic and repeat regions in comparison to gene-rich regions. Further, this characteristic enabled localization of heterochromatic and euchromatic regions for each chromosome of both species. The alignment identified 16 locations containing expansions, contractions, inversions, and transpositions. By aligning 40% of the punctata BES on the map, 87% of the punctata FPC map covered 98% of the O. sativa genome sequence. The genome size of O. punctata was estimated to be 8% larger than that of O. sativa with individual chromosome differences of 1.5-16.5%. The sum of expansions and contractions observed in regions >500 kb were similar, suggesting that most of the contractions/expansions contributing to the genome size difference between the two species are small, thus preserving the macro-collinearity between these species, which diverged approximately 2 million years ago.  相似文献

Two segments of the variable terminal regions of the variola virus (VARV) genome were sequenced in 22 strains from the Russian collection, including about 13.5 kb of the left segment and about 10.5 kb of the right segment. The total length of the sequences was over 540 kb. Phylogenetic analysis of the new and published data determined the relationships among 70 VARV strains, the character of their clustering, and the intergroup and intragroup variation of the strain clusters. Loci with the highest polymorphism rate were identified and proved to map to noncoding regions or to regions of damaged open reading frames, characteristic of the ancestral virus. These loci offer attractive possibilities for developing a strategy of VARV strain genotyping. Recombination analysis by different methods did not detect, except for a single case, significant recombination events in the VARV strains examined.  相似文献

Purified virion DNA of about 200 kilobase pairs of tupaia herpesvirus strain 2 was cleaved with EcoRI or HindIII restriction endonuclease. Restriction fragments representing the complete viral genome including both termini were inserted into the EcoRI, HindIII, and EcoRI-HindIII sites of the bacterial plasmid pAT153. Restriction maps for the restriction endonucleases EcoRI and HindIII were constructed with data derived from Southern blot hybridizations of individual viral DNA fragments or cloned DNA fragments which were hybridized to either viral genome fragments or recombinant plasmids. The analysis revealed that the tupaia herpesvirus genome consists of a long unique sequence of 200 kilobase pairs and that inverted repeat DNA sequences of greater than 40 base pairs do not occur, in agreement with previous electron microscopic data. No DNA sequence homology was detectable between the tupaia herpesvirus DNA and the genome of murine cytomegalovirus, which was reported to have a similar structure. In addition, seven individual isolates of tupaia herpesvirus were characterized. The isolates can be grouped into five strains by their DNA cleavage patterns.  相似文献

Due to their relatedness to Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), the cultivated Brassica species represent the first group of crops with which to evaluate comparative genomics approaches to understanding biological processes and manipulating traits. We have constructed a high-quality binary BAC library (JBo) from genomic DNA of Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra, in order to underpin such investigations. Using the Arabidopsis genome sequence and clones from the JBo library, we have analysed aspects of gene conservation and microsynteny between a 222 kb region of the genome of Arabidopsis and homoeologous segments of the genome of B. oleracea. All 19 predicted genes tested were found to hybridize to clones in the JBo library, indicating a high level of gene conservation. Further analyses and physical mapping with the BAC clones identified allowed us to construct clone contig maps and analyse in detail the gene content and organization in the set of paralogous segments identified in the genome of B. oleracea. Extensive divergence of gene content was observed, both between the B. oleracea paralogous segments and between them and their homoeologous segment within the genome of Arabidopsis. However, the genes present show highly conserved collinearity with their orthologues in the genome of Arabidopsis. We have identified one example of a Brassica gene in a non-collinear position and one rearrangement. Some of the genes not present in the discernible homoeologous regions appear to be located elsewhere in the B. oleracea genome. The implications of our findings for comparative map-based cloning of genes from crop species are discussed.  相似文献

Bacteriophage MB78 is a virulent phage ofSalmonella typhimurium. The viral DNA is 42 kb in size and seems to be circularly permuted. We show that viral DNA replication is through concatemeric DNA formation which is subsequently converted into full length DNA through headful packaging. A restriction map of MB78 DNA for six restriction endonucleases e.g.BgIII,PvuII, ECORI, ClaI, SalI and SmaI has been constructed. The yield of certain fragments in less than molar amount is explained in terms of permutation and the headful mechanism of packaging. The packaging site (pac site) has been suggested.  相似文献

Two molecular cytogenetics methods, PRINS (primed in situ DNA labeling) and C-PRINS (cycling PRINS), were optimized for the physical mapping of several types of DNA sequences on the mitotic chromosomes of the narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.). The fragment of the FokI element from Vicia faba was localised by indirect PRINS reaction. Two other sequences, fragments of the coding sequences of L. luteus and of L. angustifolius, were localised by indirect C-PRINS. These techniques are faster and more sensitive than FISH, and they allowed the mapping of short DNA fragments. The data obtained shows that both types of PRINS are valuable tools for chromosome identification in lupin.  相似文献

Comparative genome and QTL mapping between maritime and loblolly pines   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
Genetic markers developed from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were used as orthologous loci for comparative genome studies in the genus Pinus. A total of 309 ESTs derived from conifer gene sequences were tested for amplification and polymorphism in maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.). Electrophoresis-based techniques made it possible to map 50 expressed sequence tag polymorphisms (ESTPs). The map positions of 32 markers were compared to putative orthologous loci on the loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) linkage map, which is the reference map of the conifer genetic mapping community. Overall, synteny was maintained between the two species. This report agrees with other pairwise genome comparisons in pine and supports the cytogenetic evidence that chromosome evolution in the genus is conservative. The alignment of homologous linkage groups allowed, for the first time in conifers, the comparison of QTL location. The position of two QTLs controlling wood density and cell wall components were found to be conserved between the two species.  相似文献

The assembly of a reference genome sequence of bread wheat is challenging due to its specific features such as the genome size of 17 Gbp, polyploid nature and prevalence of repetitive sequences. BAC‐by‐BAC sequencing based on chromosomal physical maps, adopted by the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium as the key strategy, reduces problems caused by the genome complexity and polyploidy, but the repeat content still hampers the sequence assembly. Availability of a high‐resolution genomic map to guide sequence scaffolding and validate physical map and sequence assemblies would be highly beneficial to obtaining an accurate and complete genome sequence. Here, we chose the short arm of chromosome 7D (7DS) as a model to demonstrate for the first time that it is possible to couple chromosome flow sorting with genome mapping in nanochannel arrays and create a de novo genome map of a wheat chromosome. We constructed a high‐resolution chromosome map composed of 371 contigs with an N50 of 1.3 Mb. Long DNA molecules achieved by our approach facilitated chromosome‐scale analysis of repetitive sequences and revealed a ~800‐kb array of tandem repeats intractable to current DNA sequencing technologies. Anchoring 7DS sequence assemblies obtained by clone‐by‐clone sequencing to the 7DS genome map provided a valuable tool to improve the BAC‐contig physical map and validate sequence assembly on a chromosome‐arm scale. Our results indicate that creating genome maps for the whole wheat genome in a chromosome‐by‐chromosome manner is feasible and that they will be an affordable tool to support the production of improved pseudomolecules.  相似文献

Fragments of guinea pig cytomegalovirus (GPCMV) DNA produced by HindIII or EcoRI restriction endonuclease digestion were cloned into vectors pBR322 and pACYC184, and recombinant fragments representing ca. 97% of the genome were constructed. Hybridization of 32P-labeled cloned and gel-purified HindIII, EcoRI, and XbaI fragments to Southern blots of HindIII-, EcoRI-, and XbaI-cleaved GPCMV DNA verified the viral origin of cloned fragments and allowed construction of HindIII, EcoRI, and XbaI restriction maps. On the basis of the cloning and mapping experiments, the size of GPCMV DNA was calculated to include 239 kilobase pairs, corresponding to a molecular weight of 158 X 10(6). No cross-hybridization between any internal fragments was seen. We conclude that the GPCMV genome consists of a long unique sequence with terminal repeat sequences but without internal repeat regions. In addition, GPCMV DNA molecules exist in two forms. In the predominant form, the molecules demonstrate sequence homology between the terminal fragments; in the minor population, one terminal fragment is smaller by 0.7 X 10(6) daltons and is not homologous with the fragment at the other end of the physical map. The structural organization of GPCMV DNA is unique for a herpesvirus DNA, similar in its simplicity to the structure reported for murine cytomegalovirus DNA and quite dissimilar from that of human cytomegalovirus DNA.  相似文献

The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the principal vector of dengue and yellow fever flaviviruses. Permethrin is an insecticide used to suppress Ae. aegypti adult populations but metabolic and target site resistance to pyrethroids has evolved in many locations worldwide. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling permethrin survival in Ae. aegypti were mapped in an F3 advanced intercross line. Parents came from a collection of mosquitoes from Isla Mujeres, México, that had been selected for permethrin resistance for two generations and a reference permethrin-susceptible strain originally from New Orleans. Following a 1-hr permethrin exposure, 439 F3 adult mosquitoes were phenotyped as knockdown resistant, knocked down/recovered, or dead. For QTL mapping, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified at 22 loci with potential antixenobiotic activity including genes encoding cytochrome P450s (CYP), esterases (EST), or glutathione transferases (GST) and at 12 previously mapped loci. Seven antixenobiotic genes mapped to chromosome I, six to chromosome II, and nine to chromosome III. Two QTL of major effect were detected on chromosome III. One corresponds with a SNP previously associated with permethrin resistance in the para sodium channel gene and the second with the CCEunk7o esterase marker. Additional QTL but of relatively minor effect were also found. These included two sex-linked QTL on chromosome I affecting knockdown and recovery and a QTL affecting survival and recovery. On chromosome II, one QTL affecting survival and a second affecting recovery were detected. The patterns confirm that mutations in the para gene cause target-site insensitivity and are the major source of permethrin resistance but that other genes dispersed throughout the genome contribute to recovery and survival of mosquitoes following permethrin exposure.  相似文献

Statistical methods established for the genetic analysis of quantitative traits can be applied to gene expression data. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis can associate the expression of genes or groups of genes with particular genomic regions, and thereby identify regions regulating gene expression. A segregating population of 41 doubled haploid (DH) lines from the hard red spring wheat cross RL4452 x 'AC Domain' was used to map expression level polymorphisms. This population had previously been mapped with microsatellites, and includes a full QTL analysis for agronomic and seed quality traits. Expression analysis on mRNA from developing seed grown in two field locations was conducted on 39 of the 41 DH lines using the Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome Array. Analysis of the hybridization intensity identified 1484 Affymetrix probe sets in the first location and 10,280 probe sets in the second location, where the hybridization intensity varied significantly between genotypes of the population. A common set of 1455 probe sets differing in intensity between genotypes in both locations was used for mapping, and 542 QTLs were identified that each mapped to a single chromosome interval, illustrating that major gene expression QTLs could be found in wheat. Genomic regions corresponding to multiple gene expression QTLs were identified. Comparison of expression mapping data with physical mapping of wheat expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences using rice synteny, as well as logarithm of odds (LOD) score analysis, showed that both cis- and trans-acting expression QTLs were present. Chromosomes 1D and 4B may contain significant trans-regulatory regions in this population.  相似文献
