基因育种法培育草食猪

英国陆尔泰生物遗传资源研究所进行了一项重大的研究工作，就是将传统的“约克”混食猪培育为以草食为主的猪种。比较分析表明，马牛羊等食草家畜以植物饲料为主，它们是借助于生活在胃里的有益菌群把草料中的植物纤维分解为养料而消化吸收的，但混食猪恰恰缺少这些菌群中的个别有益微生物，因此研究人员从这些菌群中分离出了20多种纤维素酶，将其中五种纤维素酶的基因植入猪的受精卵中，     

亚洲璃眼蜱唾液腺-新基因（GP29）的原核表达及产物鉴定

将吸血诱导的亚洲璃眼蜱唾液腺差异表达基因GP29的开放性阅读框插入pGEX-4T-1，转化BL21，表达出一相对质量为53ku的蛋白，其大小与预计结果一致。蛋白质的肽质量图谱和“1381．7511”肽段序列两方面的结果证明，SDS-PAGE胶板上相对质量为53ku的蛋白就是由目的基因表达的GST融合蛋白。该蛋白与Swiss PROT库中的任何蛋白均有较大差别，可能是一个新功能分子。     

添加萘乙酸(NAA)对雨生红球藻中虾青素积累的影响

近年来,对雨生红球藻合成虾青素几个关键酶基因的转录调控机制也进行了研究,结果表明,β-胡萝卜素酮化酶(bkt)和β-胡萝卜素羟化酶(crtR-B)基因的5′上游侧翼序列中可能存在生长     

南江黄羊LHβ基因部分序列SphⅠ酶切分析

利用牛、绵羊等动物LHβ亚基基因序列设计引物,首次扩增并采用Sph Ⅰ酶切分析南江黄羊247个个体该基因部分序列的多态性.结果表明,采用Sph Ⅰ酶切LHβ亚基基因出现三种基因型,其中BB基因型占绝对优势(57.49%),其次为AB型(38.87%),AA型出现的比例非常小(3.64%),即南江黄羊群体中B等位基因频率76.925%远远高于A(23.075%).     

欧洲养猪业因欧盟法院对基因编辑技术的裁决而受到影响

去年7月欧洲法院决定将规律间隔成簇短回文重复序列(Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats,CRISPR)基因编辑技术视为基因改造技术。这一决定将严重影响CRISPR在动物遗传方案中的进一步发展和成就。     

宁乡猪肉质相关Myo6基因多态性研究

为探讨宁乡猪肉质相关Myo6基因的遗传变异情况,本研究以宁乡猪为研究对象,并与外来品种大白猪进行比较,用PCR-RFLP方法检测了该基因的一个A→G类型的SNP。结果表明,PCR-RFLP-XbaI多态性在宁乡猪和大白猪中G基因均为优势等位基因,其基因频率分别为0.576 5和0.691 6。本研究为宁乡猪的保种选育积累了有益的资料。     

Construction of Full-length cDNA of Recombinant Rabies Virus SRV9 Strain Expressing EgM123 Gene of Echinococcus granulosus

The aim of the experiment was to construct the recombinant rabies virus SRV₉ vaccine strain with EgM123 gene by reverse genetics technology and provide the technical means for effective prevention and control of rabies and hydatidosis in China's agricultural and pastoral areas.In this study,the structural protein N,P and L genes of rabies virus SRV₉ were synthesized using gene synthesis technology,which was based on the complete genome sequence of rabies virus SRV₉ and the fusion fragment of the N-P-M fusion fragment and the rabies G gene,through the carrier of enzyme insertion connection methods,the recombinant rabies virus L gene,N-P-M gene fusion fragment and G+EgM123+eGFP gene fusion fragment were successively recombined on the expression vector pcDNA3.1(-) to construct the full-length cDNA of recombinant rabies virus SRV₉ with EgM123 gene.The synthesized genes were constructed on pcDNA3.1(-) expression vector,and the results of transformation,plasmid digestion and gene sequencing showed that the length of N,P,L,N+P+M and G+EgM123+eGFP gene fragments were 1 365,1 107,6 471,3 160 and 3 256 bp,respectively.The full-length cDNA fragment of EgM123 gene recombinant rabies virus full-length cDNA was 12 465 bp,and the sequencing results of each gene fragment were 100%.In this experiment,the full-length cDNA fragment of recombinant EgM123 rabies and eukaryotic expression vectors of the N,P and L genes of rabies virus were successfully constructed,which could save EgM123 gene recombinant rabies by reverse genetics,it also provided the reference for the development of rabies and hydatid disease combined gene recombinant oral live vaccine.     

Genome-wide Association Study on Alive Litter Size Trait in Bama Xiang Pigs

In order to identify the molecular markers related to alive litter size of Bama Xiang pigs,the genome-wide association study (GWAS) was used to map and screen the candidate genes affecting the alive litter size trait.Ear tissue samples of 297 Bama Xiang pigs with multiple parity records were collected,and DNA was extracted and genotyped by porcine 50K SNP beadchip.After quality control and genotype imputation,the alive litter size of Bama Xiang pigs were GWAS by Tassel.The results showed that the average number born alive per litter of Bama Xiang pigs increased gradually with the increasing of parity in the range of 1-9 parities.A total of 32 816 SNPs were obtained after quality control and filtration.8 SNPs related to alive litter size of Bama Xiang pigs were screened by genome-wide association analysis,which were significant at genome or chromosome level.Based on the enrichment analysis of the coding genes in the region between 500 kb upstream and downstream of the associated significant SNP loci,and the QTL regions and gene functions related to porcine reproductive traits,4 genes (CAPZB,MSH3,CITED2 and HSD17B7) were finally identified to be candidate genes related to alive litter size of Bama Xiang pigs.
