High throughput SNP genotyping with two mini-sequencing assays

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are veryimportant markers that can be used in many areas such asevolutionary genetics [1], disease-susceptibility genes[2,3], personalized medicine and forensics. Only about20% of human polymorphisms are length polymorphisms,whereas about 80% of human polymorphisms areSNPs. Kruglyak et al. [4] reported that there were about11,000,000 SNPs in the world population. There are many kinds of SNP genotyping technology[5,6]: some are only suitable to low …

鹟科五种鸟线粒体DNA序列变化与亲缘关系的研究

首次对鹟科（Muscicapidae）画眉亚科三种鸟----画眉（Garrulax canorus）、红嘴相思鸟（Leiothrix lutea）、棕头雅雀(Paradoxornis webbiana);鸫亚科的乌鸫（Turdinae merula）线粒体DNA的12S rRNA基因片段的DNA序列进行了测定,并与北美画眉亚科弯嘴鹛属（Pomatostomus）的灰冠弯嘴鹛（P.temporalis）同源序列进行分析比较并构建分子进化树。实验结果与传统形态学论述存在一定的差异,与同工酶研究结果相同：画眉与红嘴相思鸟的亲缘关系最近,棕头鸦雀较乌鸫与画眉亚科的关系更近,为将其置于画眉亚科提供了分子证据。 Abstract：The classfication on Muscicapinae disturbed us for a long time.The important thing is to find an appropriate character to resolve it.It is the first time that we testified the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene fragment sequence of four birds (G.canorus,L.lutea,P.webbianus and T.merula-owing to Muscicapinae) and aligned with the same sequence of P.temporalis.Using the mitochondrial 12S rRNA sequences date,we built phylogenetic trees.The results indicated that that the relationship between Garrulax canorus and Leiothrix lutea in the four birds was closer which is congruent with morphology.According to the results of isoenzyme and DNA sequencing data,we can draw a conclusion that Paradoxornis webbianus has closer relationship to Timaliinae than that of Turdus merula,and that putting Paradoxonithinae to Timaliinae was reasonable.     

广州汉族人群DYS19、DYS389Ⅰ/Ⅱ、DYS390多态性及其单体型

用PCR结合PAGE技术观察111例广州汉族男性DYS19、DYS389Ⅰ/Ⅱ、DYS390等位基因及单体型分布状况。结果显示：广州地区汉族男性DYS19基因座观察到5种等位基因,DYS389Ⅰ观察到4种等位基因,DYS389Ⅱ观察到5种等位基因,DYS390观察到5种等位基因;χ2检验表明上述各等位基因频率分布与其他地区人群存在明显的差异。此外,还观察到72种由上述基因座共同构成的单体型,单体型多样性达0.953。 Abstract: In order to apply a set of useful and high polymorphic Y?STRs in forensic practice and genetic analysis,we performed a population genetic study from Chinese.The allele distributions of the systems DYS19、DYS389Ⅰ/Ⅱ、and DYS390 were investigated in sample of 111 unrelated males from the area of Guangzhou, China.PCR products were detected using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining.5、4、5、5 alleles were observed in locus DYS19、DYS389Ⅰ、DYS389Ⅱ、DYS390 respectively.Different allele frequency distributions were observed when compared to other population.Haplotype frequency date of 72 different types were obtained.     

暴发脑膜脑炎流行的新型毒株的全基因序列

吉林省延边地区１９９６年６月发生无菌性脑膜脑炎流行,从病人脑脊液和粪便标本中分离到多株病毒,血清学实验证明所分离的病毒为此次无菌性脑膜脑炎流行的病因。对其中的２株病毒（Ｙａｎｂｉａｎ９６－８３ｃｓｆ和Ｙａｎｂｉａｎ９６－８５ｃｓｆ）测定了全基因核酸序列并帮了比较分析。结果所测２株病毒核酸长度均为７４５６ｂｐ〔包括３端ｐｏｌｙ（Ａ）尾〕,两者间仅有１３个位点不同,同源性达９９．８％,在进化树上位于同     

一株猴泡沫病毒野毒Pol基因的cDNA的直接测序

A 377 Kunming cell line of Rhesus Monkey Kidney (RMK) from Centre for Medical Pr imates was amplified the cDNA fragments of the pol gene by Nested-PCR,which of a natured infected SFV showed typical CPE after cultured for three weeks,sequence s of products position(nt 5989-6343)were determined directly.The result indicate d that the nucleotid sequences in the region had 48 nucleotids difference(10.78% ) between SFV infected cell and SFV-1 in GENE BANK,and there was 45 nucleotides difference(10.11%) compared with SFVmac in the region, the test with VspⅠ showe d aligment.

坚强芽孢杆菌β-淀粉酶基因的核苷酸序列分析

淀粉水解酶广泛用于淀粉加工业中,何秉旺等在选育产耐热β-淀粉酶菌株中得到一株坚强芽孢杆菌（Bacillusfirmus）725,该菌株产生的淀粉酶有较好的热稳定性,水解淀粉的主要产物为麦芽糖。自然菌株产生的淀粉酶往往是多种淀粉酶的混合,为进一步研究该菌株产生的淀粉酶的性质和在工业上应用的可能性,分离了三个淀粉酶基因,在大肠杆菌中克隆和表达[1]。其中重组质粒pBA150产生的淀粉酶的淀粉水解产物主要是麦芽糖［1］。β-淀粉酶（EC.3．2.1．2）水解淀粉的主要产物是麦芽糖,工业上可用于生产高麦芽糖浆,近年来又有β-淀粉酶用于啤酒工业的报道[2]。本文报道重组质粒pBA150的β-淀粉酶基因的序列分析及推导出的氨基酸序列同己知β-淀粉酶的氨基酸序列比较。
