安徽麝线粒体DNA细胞色素b基因全长序列分析

对安徽麝模式皮张标本进行了线粒体DNA细胞色素b基因全长序列分析。研究结果表明,安徽麝同麝属中其他种的遗传分化已经相当明显。分子系统学的分析表明,安徽麝是一个单系群,它同麝属其他种的DNA序列差异已达到种间分化的程度。因此,线粒体DNA序列的证据支持将安徽麝列为麝属中一有效种(Moschus anhuiensis),而不是前人认为的原麝或林麝的亚种。

Monoculture of climbing perch, Thai koi, Anabas testudineus (Bloch) under different stocking densities at on-farm

An on-farm trial was undertaken in nine earthen ponds (400 to 640m2) to evaluate the growth and production potentials of climbing perch, Thai koi (Anabas testudineus) for the period of four months from March through June 2006. Three stocking densities such as 75,000 (T1), 100,500 (T2) and 125,000/ha (T3) were tested with three replications. Fish were fed with commercial (SABINCO) pelleted feed (35% crude protein). Fish productions obtained in three treatments such as T1, T2 and T3 were 6,480±217, 6,384±154, 6,617±187 kg· 1ha, respectively. The results demonstrated higher mean growth in T1 than in T2 and T3. However, the net benefit was achieved Tk. 7,26,975 from T1, where the stocking density was 75,000/ha.

Seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton in relation to environmental factors in the Maheshkhali channel, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh

In total 68 phytoplankton species were identified at the mouth of the Maheshkhali channel with the Bay of Bengal, among them 41 belong to Bacillariophyceae, 17 Dinophyceae, 7 Cyanophyceae and 3 to Chlorophyceae. The highest phytoplankton production was observed in November (578.0 x 105 cells/L) and the lowest in June (37.5 x 105 cells/L). Some hydrographic parameters e.g., surface water temperature, salinity and nutrients (N03-N and P04-P) were recorded and their relationship with the occurrence and abundance of phytoplankton population were also studied. Nutrient concentration was higher during the autumn months, when rain water provided the maximum outflow of rivers discharging into the channel. During the nutrient peak period, the total phytoplankton production was maximum. Bacillariophyceae was the dominant group of phytoplankton throughout the study period except in June and September, when Dinophyceae was dominant. Cyanophyceae was abundant in spring months when temperature began to rise.

Gene admixture in the Silk Road region of China: Evidence from mtDNA and melanocortin 1 receptor polymorphism

Mitochondrial DNA control region segment I sequences and melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene polymorphism were examined in ethnic populations in the silk road region of China. Both the frequencies of the MC1R variants and the results of mtDNA data in this region presented intermediate values between those of Europe and East and Southeast Asia, which suggested extensive gene admixture in this area and was in general agreement with previous studies. Phylogenetic analysis of the ethnic populations in the Silk Road region that based on mtDNA data didn't show expected cluster pattern according to their ethnogenesis. We suspect that a high migration rate in female among these closely related populations and other three demographic events might account for it.

中国部分猪种SLA2DQB 外显子2 遗传多样性

运用PCR2SSCP 和克隆测序对中国部分猪种的SLA2DQB 基因外显子2 的多态性分析表明:有功能的 DQB 基因有68 个新等位基因,假基因(SLA2DXB) 等位基因有5 个。各等位基因的数量分布极其不平衡,而且许多 品种都表现出共享等位基因。9 个主要等位基因中, C08 广泛分布在中国猪种的6 大地方类型11 个品种及云南 和四川野猪中,它为中国猪种特有的共享等位基因,占总数的55. 10 %。在单一的个体中拥有5 条以上序列,说明 SLA2DQB 基因座在某些品种中拷贝数为3 个。SLA2DQB 外显子2 的等位基因核苷酸和氨基酸多态变异位点分别 高达81 个和49 个,等位基因多样度( H= 0. 889) 以及核苷酸多样度( Pi = 0. 047) 都很高,总体表现为β折叠区的Pi 值均高于α螺旋区。综合分析表明华南型、西南型猪H和Pi 均较高,高原型的藏猪最低。类群内遗传距离排序与 Pi 值高低排序一样,可见各地方类型中核苷酸替换的差异正比于核苷酸多样度。类群间遗传距离比较,江海型与 华北型间的距离最大,而华中型和高原型间的遗传距离最小。

Genetic diversity of Chinese native pigs inferred from protein electrophoresis

We examined protein polymorphism of 20 native pig breeds in China and 3 introduced pig breeds. Thirty loci have been investigated, among which six loci were found to be polymorphic. Especially, the polymorphism of malate dehydrogenase (MDH), adenylate kinase (AK), and two new alleles of adenosine deaminase (ADA) had not been reported in domestic pigs and wild pigs. The percentage of polymorphic loci (P), the mean heterozygosity (H), and the mean number of alleles (A) are 0.200, 0.065, and 1.300, respectively. The degree of genetic variability of Chinese pigs as a whole was higher than that of goats, lower than that of cattle and horses, and similar to that of sheep. Using the gene frequencies of the 30 loci, Nei's genetic distance among the 20 native breeds in China and 3 introduced pig breeds was calculated by the formula of Nei. The program NEIGHBOR in PHYLIP 3.5c was chosen to construct an UPGMA tree and a NJ tree. Our results show that, of the total genetic variation found in the native pig breeds in China, 31% (0.31) is ascribable to genetic differences among breeds. About 69% of the total genetic variation is found within breeds. Most breeds are in linkage disequilibrium. The patterns of genetic similarities between the Chinese native pig breeds were not in agreement with the proposed pig type classification.

苯丙氨酰tRNA合成酶的进化与结构域丢失

基因的复制、融合以及基因的水平转移是许多蛋白质包括氨酚t RNA合成酶(aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase , AARS)进化过程中的常见事件。然而作者研究的结果显示，苯丙氨酚 t RNA合成酶( phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase , PheRS)的进化主要表现为 一些结构域的丢失;并且这种结构域的丢失不影响Phe RS的功能或活性。通常在生物从细菌到真核生物的进化过程中，其基因组的大小和基因的数目都有所增加，然而有趣的是，真核生物中Phe RS的结构域类型和数目都明显少于细菌的Phe RS oPhe RS通过结构域的丢失而进化的现象，似乎与某些AARS功能由多重专一性向单一专一性的演化有着“异曲同工”之妙。

Evolution of phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase by domain losing

The gene duplication, fusion and horizontal transfer are the frequent events during evolution of many proteins, including the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARSs). However, in this work, it was shown that the main event during evolution of phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (PheRS) is a domain loss, and the function/activity of PheRS is not affected by domain losing. Generally, the size of genome and number of genes are increased during evolution from bacteria to eukaryote, but the interesting thing is that the type and number of PheRS domains in eukaryotae are obviously less than those in bacteria. The evolution of PheRS by domain losing seems to be related to the functional evolution of some AARSs from the multiple specificities to the single specificity.
