梅花鹿3个种群遗传多样性的微卫星标记分析

利用16个微卫星标记对黑龙江省部分地区(兴凯湖农场、大庆市银浪牧场、五大连池大庆农场鹿苑)的3个梅花鹿(Cervus nippon)群体进行了遗传多样性检测.统计了3个鹿群的等位基因组成、平均有效等位基因数(Ne)、平均遗传杂合度(h)和多态信息含量(PIC).结果表明,除5个位点外,其余11个微卫星位点均表现出不同的多态信息含量,其中高度多态位点5个,中度多态位点4个.这说明本研究所选用的微卫星位点可较准确地评估3个梅花鹿群体的遗传多样性,并为今后相关研究筛选出了有价值的引物.3个梅花鹿群体的平均h在0.454～0.636之间变动,其中兴凯湖梅花鹿群体最高,为0.636,具有较大的遗传潜力.     

三个虹鳟养殖群体遗传结构的微卫星分析

利用20个微卫星标记对3个虹鳟(Oncorhynchus mykiss)养殖群体进行遗传结构分析。结果表明,(1)3个群体检测的平均等位基因数为3·6～4·1,平均观测杂合度为0·5224～0·6328,平均期望杂合度为0·4736～0·5522,平均多态信息含量为0·4354～0·5084,说明这几个群体多态性属于偏高水平,遗传多样性高。通过d值,确定了Hard-Weinberg平衡的偏离情况,发现AY039638、AY039646在3个群体中都表现为不平衡。对3个群体的遗传距离进行了估算,并进行聚类分析,本溪的两个群体先聚为一支,再与渤海群体相聚,显示出明显的地理特征。(2)本溪虹鳟群体在位点AF352770出现部分等位基因消失的现象;AF352754在本溪群体中表现为位点消失,可作为区分本溪群体和渤海群体的分子标记。(3)综合评价3个群体,渤海站虹鳟群体的遗传多样性最高,与前人研究结果一致。     

Moroccan Leishmania infantum: Genetic Diversity and Population Structure as Revealed by Multi-Locus Microsatellite Typing

Leishmania infantum causes Visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis in northern Morocco. It predominantly affects children under 5 years with incidence of 150 cases/year. Genetic variability and population structure have been investigated for 33 strains isolated from infected dogs and humans in Morocco. A multilocus microsatellite typing (MLMT) approach was used in which a MLMtype based on size variation in 14 independent microsatellite markers was compiled for each strain. MLMT profiles of 10 Tunisian, 10 Algerian and 21 European strains which belonged to zymodeme MON-1 and non-MON-1 according to multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) were included for comparison. A Bayesian model-based approach and phylogenetic analysis inferred two L.infantum sub-populations; Sub-population A consists of 13 Moroccan strains grouped with all European strains of MON-1 type; and sub-population B consists of 15 Moroccan strains grouped with the Tunisian and Algerian MON-1 strains. Theses sub-populations were significantly different from each other and from the Tunisian, Algerian and European non MON-1 strains which constructed one separate population. The presence of these two sub-populations co-existing in Moroccan endemics suggests multiple introduction of L. infantum from/to Morocco; (1) Introduction from/to the neighboring North African countries, (2) Introduction from/to the Europe. These scenarios are supported by the presence of sub-population B and sub-population A respectively. Gene flow was noticed between sub-populations A and B. Five strains showed mixed A/B genotypes indicating possible recombination between the two populations. MLMT has proven to be a powerful tool for eco-epidemiological and population genetic investigations of Leishmania.     

利用微卫星遗传标记探讨达氏鳇的多倍体倍性

鲟形目(Acipenseriformes)鱼类是一类多倍体起源的鱼类,种问易于杂交,且由于存在大量微型染色体,其染色体数目和倍性也难于确定.到目前为止包括达氏鳇(Huso dauricus)在内的一些鲟鱼物种基因组大小和染色体倍性仍旧存在争议.本实验采用微卫星遗传标记技术,通过观察9个微卫星位点的等位基因数目,发现达氏鳇在大部分位点中显示的倍性大于二倍性,同时利用多倍体分析软件POLYSAT推断了26尾达氏鳇的个体倍性.结果表明,26尾达氏鳇中有20尾显示为六倍体,占总数的76.92％;4尾显示为八倍体,占总数的15.38％;2尾显示为四倍体,占总数的7.79％.因此,我们认为达氏鳇应该为八倍体物种,结果中出现的四倍体和六倍体个体,是由于这些个体在我们选取的微卫星位点中存在部分纯合等位基因,导致了多数个体显示为六倍体.这一结论与近年来支持达氏鳇为进化性八倍体物种的研究结果一致.     

Chemotaxis by Naegleria fowleri for bacteria

Naegleria fowleri amebae demonstrated a chemotactic and chemokinetic response toward live cells and extracts of Escherichia coli and other bacterial species when experiments were performed using a blind-well chemotaxis chamber. The peptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine acted as a chemokinetic rather than a chemotactic factor for N. fowleri amebae. Competition experiments in which nerve cell extracts or bacteria were placed on either side of the filter in chemotaxis chambers resulted in increased movement towards bacteria. A scanning electron microscopy study of the interaction of N. fowleri with different bacterial species confirmed that when the amebae were near ingestible bacteria they moved toward the bacteria by pseudopod formation. Naegleria fowleri appeared to respond to bacteria by three interrelated but distinct processes: chemokinesis, chemotaxis, and formation of food cups.     

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Ethiopian Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Germplasm Accessions from Different Geographical Origins as Revealed by Microsatellite Markers

Genetic diversity and population structure were studied in 155 chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) entries using 33 polymorphic microsatellite (SSR) markers. Molecular analysis of variance showed variations of 73% within and 27% among populations. Introduced genotypes exhibited highest polymorphism (70.27%) than the landraces (36?C57%). Collections from Shewa, Harerge, W. Gojam and S. Gonder regions also showed higher polymorphism (50?C57%) than the rest of the local accessions (36?C45%). Analyses of pairwise population Nei genetic distance and PhiPT coefficients, expected heterozygosity (He) and unbiased expected heterozygosity (UHe), Shannon??s information index (I) and percent polymorphism (% P) showed existence of high genetic variation between geographical regions. Accessions from adjoining geographical regions mostly showed more genetic similarities than those from origins far isolated apart. This could be associated with the ease and likelihood of inter-regional gene flow and seed movement particularly during times of drought. The 155 entries were grouped into five clusters following analysis of population structure. The first cluster (C₁) constituted accessions from Arsi; the second (C₂) from Gojam and Gonder; the third (C₃) from Harerge and E. and N. Shewa; and the fourth (C₄) from W. Shewa, Tigray, and Wello regions. The fifth cluster (C₅) was entirely consisted of improved genotypes. Improved genotypes of both Kabuli and Desi types distinctly fell into cluster five (C₅) regardless of their difference in seed types. The result has firmly established that introduction of genetic materials from exotic sources has broadened the genetic base of the national chickpea breeding program. Further implications of the findings as regards to chickpea germplasm management and its utilization in breeding program are also discussed.     

采用微卫星DNA标记分析部分地方鸡种保种场的保种效果

采用28对微卫星引物分析了我国两个地方鸡种大骨鸡和北京油鸡不同保种场的保种效果。检测了大骨鸡和北京油鸡共计125个个体的基因型,通过计算等位基因数、等位基因频率、遗传杂合度(H)、多态信息含量(P,G)、F统计量、Nei氏遗传距离,并采用UPGMA聚类法分析了大骨鸡和北京油鸡群体内与群体间的遗传变异,比较了两个鸡种不同保种场的保种效果。在所检测的4个群体中,各群体均有较高的多态性,其杂合度都超过了0．55,各位点等位基因的数目为2～22。除LE110194和MCW0032外,其余26个微卫星位点都处于基因平衡状态。结果表明,4个保种场均较好的保存了这些品种的遗传多样性,但同一品种保种场间保种群体已经产生了差异。

德宏水牛是云南省地方水牛的优良品种之一,为了进一步阐明其群体遗传变异和遗传结构,筛选了分别位于水牛14条染色体上的15对微卫星引物,对德宏水牛81个个体进行了检测分析.共检测到62个等位基因,每个座位等位基因数目从2到6个不等,平均等位基因数为4.13,该水牛群体期望杂合度和多态信息含量分别为0.6520±0.1526和0.5863±0.1789,各座位的遗传分化系数在0～0.0919之间,平均值为0.0202.每个座位的基因流较大,平均12.1502.研究结果表明德宏水牛群体遗传多样性较丰富,亚群间的遗传分化程度低,基因流较大,且很少发生近交.     

Study on Population Genetic Structure in Castanopsis fargesii with Microsatellite Markers

Genetic structure of four populations in Castanopsis fargesii Franch. in Fujian Province was studied with microsatellite (SSR) markers. A high level of genetic variation was detected in the populations of C. fargesii by using SSR with A=9.0, Ne=4.8, He=0.65 and the population differentiation coefficient ( Fst ) was only 0.031. The distributions of alleles of all loci were significantly different among the populations of C. fargesii , and the population differentiation could be found according to the distributions of SSR alleles. Some rare alleles in the populations of C. fargesii were revealed by SSR: Fifteen of 54 alleles appeared in one or two populations with lower frequencies; conservation of these rare alleles is of great importance.     

基于SSR标记的新疆野杏群体遗传多样性及遗传结构

利用27对SSR分子标记对新疆4个野杏群体遗传多样性和遗传结构进行分析,评价新疆野杏遗传多样性水平和分化程度,为新疆野杏合理保护与利用提供科学依据。结果显示：（1）27对SSR引物共检测到431个等位基因（N_a）,各位点平均等位基因数（N_a）和多态性信息含量（PIC）分别为15.96和0.84;物种水平上Shannons信息指数（I）和期望杂合度（H_e）分别为2.21和0.78。（2）群体水平上等位基因数（N_a）、有效等位基因（N_e）、Shannons信息指数（I）、期望杂合度（H_e）和观察杂合度（H_o）分别为10.98、5.85、1.92、0.79和0.55;其中新源县野杏群体遗传多样性最丰富,巩留县群体遗传多样性最低。（3）基于F统计量分析的遗传分化系数（F_st）为0.05,基因流（N_m）为5.26;分子方差分析显示新疆野杏群体大部分遗传变异来自群体内（95.4%）,群体间的遗传变异仅占4.6%。（4）新疆野杏群体遗传距离为0.06~0.49,平均为0.24;遗传相似度为0.61~0.94,平均为0.80;遗传相似度的聚类分析和遗传距离的主坐标分析结果一致,均将供试4个群体划分为两组;Mantel检测显示,新疆野杏群体遗传距离与地理距离无显著相关（r=0.332,P＝0.16）。研究表明,新疆野杏资源具有丰富的遗传多样性,群体遗传分化程度较低,群体间遗传距离较小,这与新疆野杏群体的大小和悠久的演化历史以及群体间频繁的基因交流相关。     

用SSR研究栲树群体遗传结构

利用微卫星（SSR）分子标记对福建省内4个栲树（Castanopsis fargesii Franch.）群体遗传结构进行了研究。SSR标记揭示了栲树群体丰富的遗传变异：平均等位基因数A＝9.0,平均有效等位基因数Ne=4.8,平均期望杂合度He=0.65,而群 具有较低的Fst值（Fst=0.031）。SSR每个位点的等位基因频率分布在栲树群体间都存在显或极显差异,表明根据SSR等位基因频率分布亦能了解各体的分化。SSR标记使栲树群体中一些稀有等位基因得以表现,54个SSR等位基因中有15个等位基因仅出现在1个或2个群体中,且频率较低,在遗传多样性保护中更应注重保护这些稀有的等位变异。     

Microfilaments in Naegleria fowleri amoebae.

Examination by electron microscopy has revealed 2 types of microfilament in the cytoplasm of 3 strains of axenically grown Naegleria fowleri amoebae. Thin, actin-like microfilaments 5-7 nm in diameter are randomly oriented in the nonmotile amoebae, and are concentrated near the plasma membrane. In the actively motile amoebae these microfilaments aggregate to form colateral bundles in close proximity to the plasma membrane. Thick, myosin-like microfilaments 17-19 nm in diameter also occur in the amoebae cytoplasm. The significance of these 2 kinds of microfilament in amoeboid motion is discussed.     

Genetic Diversity and Conservation Implications of Four Cupressus Species in China as Revealed by Microsatellite Markers

Understanding the extent and distribution of genetic diversity is crucial for the conservation and management of endangered species. Cupressus chengiana, C. duclouxiana, C. gigantea, and C. funebris are four ecologically and economically important species in China. We investigated their genetic diversity, population structure, and extant effective population size (35 populations, 484 individuals) employing six pairs of nuclear microsatellite markers (selected from 53). Their genetic diversity is moderate among conifers, and genetic differentiation among populations is much lower in C. gigantea than in the other three species; the estimated effective population size was largest for C. chengiana, at 1.70, 2.91, and 3.91 times the estimates for C. duclouxiana, C. funebris, and C. gigantea, respectively. According to Bayesian clustering analysis, the most plausible population subdivision scheme within species is two groups in C. chengiana, three groups in C. duclouxiana, and a single group for both C. funebris and C. gigantea. We propose a conservation strategy for these cypress species.     

Genetic Relationships of Ethnic Minorities in Southwest China Revealed by Microsatellite Markers

Population migrations in Southwest and South China have played an important role in the formation of East Asian populations and led to a high degree of cultural diversity among ethnic minorities living in these areas. To explore the genetic relationships of these ethnic minorities, we systematically surveyed the variation of 10 autosomal STR markers of 1,538 individuals from 30 populations of 25 ethnic minorities, of which the majority were chosen from Southwest China, especially Yunnan Province. With genotyped data of the markers, we constructed phylogenies of these populations with both D_A and D_C measures and performed a principal component analysis, as well as a clustering analysis by structure. Results showed that we successfully recovered the genetic structure of analyzed populations formed by historical migrations. Aggregation patterns of these populations accord well with their linguistic affiliations, suggesting that deciphering of genetic relationships does in fact offer clues for study of ethnic differentiation.     

用6个微卫星座位研究BMY牛和婆罗门牛的遗传多样性和群体遗传结构

 对6个牛微卫星座位的遗传变异及多态性分析,以期了解BMY牛和婆罗门牛的群体遗传结构与育成情况。6个微卫星座位的多态信息含量为在0.524～0.752间,BMY牛、婆罗门牛两个群体的平均期望杂合度和观察杂合度值接近,分别为0.737 6和0.739 6,0.641 2和0.653 7,进入横交固定第二世代的BMY牛期望杂合度值较高,这与我们的育种进展相符。红安格斯的期望杂合度较低(0.460 9)接近日本和牛0.471,暗示红安格斯牛的同质性较高。                       

凡纳滨对虾7个不同家系遗传差异的微卫星标记分析

应用7对微卫星引物对凡纳滨对虾3个世代共7个家系进行了遗传多样性分析,共检测到20个等位基因,每个位点的等位基因数为2-3个,平均为2.86个,观测杂合度(H0)、期望杂合度(H0)、多态信息含量(PIC)分别为0.47-0.90、0.50-0.66、0.37-0.58,平均为0.61、0.60、0.51,说明凡纳滨对虾具有较高的遗传杂合水平.F2代的多样性水平略高于F1代,而F3代则明显低于F1代和F2代.两两家系间的遗传分化指数FST介于0.01-0.34之间,其中C-F1和L-F1家系之间FST最小(0.01),C-F1和O-F3家系之间FST最大(0.34),表明世代间的家系遗传分化程度大于同一世代的家系.各家系间的Nei's遗传距离和FST分析结果相一致,表明凡纳滨对虾世代间具有明显的遗传分化.本试验将为开展凡纳滨对虾家系选育工作提供理论依据和技术指导,并对甲壳动物的遗传选育具有参考价值.

Molecular Diversity and Population Structure of a Worldwide Collection of Cultivated Tetraploid Alfalfa (Medicago sativa subsp. sativa L.) Germplasm as Revealed by Microsatellite Markers

Information on genetic diversity and population structure of a tetraploid alfalfa collection might be valuable in effective use of the genetic resources. A set of 336 worldwide genotypes of tetraploid alfalfa (Medicago sativa subsp. sativa L.) was genotyped using 85 genome-wide distributed SSR markers to reveal the genetic diversity and population structure in the alfalfa. Genetic diversity analysis identified a total of 1056 alleles across 85 marker loci. The average expected heterozygosity and polymorphism information content values were 0.677 and 0.638, respectively, showing high levels of genetic diversity in the cultivated tetraploid alfalfa germplasm. Comparison of genetic characteristics across chromosomes indicated regions of chromosomes 2 and 3 had the highest genetic diversity. A higher genetic diversity was detected in alfalfa landraces than that of wild materials and cultivars. Two populations were identified by the model-based population structure, principal coordinate and neighbor-joining analyses, corresponding to China and other parts of the world. However, lack of strictly correlation between clustering and geographic origins suggested extensive germplasm exchanges of alfalfa germplasm across diverse geographic regions. The quantitative analysis of the genetic diversity and population structure in this study could be useful for genetic and genomic analysis and utilization of the genetic variation in alfalfa breeding.
