Allozyme variation of littleneck clam Ruditapes philippinarum and genetic mixture analysis of foreign clams in Ariake Sea and Shiranui Sea off Kyushu Island, Japan

ABSTRACT:   Allozyme variation of the littleneck clam Ruditapes philippinarum was evaluated in four samples from Nameishi and Matsuo in the Ariake Sea, Ryugatake and Ushibuka in the Shiranui Sea off Kyushu Island, Japan, and in one sample from Jinzhou, China, in the Bohai Sea. A Ruditapes bruguieri sample imported from the Korean Bay off Nampo, North Korea was also studied. Among the R. philippinarum samples, heterozygosity varied from 0.265 to 0.301 and F _IS estimates indicated significant homozygosity excess in 15 of 40 loci analyzed. Deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were significant in all samples ( P  < 0.05). Pairwise F _ST estimates indicate that genetic differences between the Chinese and Japanese samples were very low, but significantly different from zero. Mixture proportions with 95% confidence intervals of Chinese R. philippinarum in Nameishi and Matsuo were estimated at 0.4098 [0.2512, 0.5705] and 0.4899 [0.3262, 0.6540], respectively. However, genetic invasion of stocked Chinese R. philippinarum into wild populations in the Ariake Sea remains uncertain due to the low precision of the estimates caused by the high similarity of allele frequencies between Jinzhou and the Ariake Sea.     

基于COI和16S rRNA的库页岛马珂蛤遗传多样性和分子系统进化研究

本研究以库页岛马珂蛤(Pseudocardium sachalinense)为研究对象,讨论COI和16S rRNA两种DNA条形码在贝类的遗传多样性、分子进化和种类鉴定的适用性,并利用两种条形码评估库页岛马珂蛤的遗传多样性。本文在获得库页岛马珂蛤线粒体全基因组的基础上,测序获得库页岛马珂蛤群体的COI和16S rRNA序列,发现COI基因核苷酸多样性为0.00195,高于16S rRNA核苷酸多样性(0.00073)。基于COI基因的单倍型多样性为0.76,大于16S rRNA的单倍型多样性(0.318)。其次,用全线粒体基因组构建8种贝类的系统进化树为参考,发现基于COI和16S rRNA的系统进化树与参考一致,提示这两种条形码片段可用于推断贝类的分子进化关系。最后,分别对马珂蛤科和帘蛤科15属17种贝类的COI基因和16Sr DNA进行序列比较,发现COI基因和16S rRNA的种间遗传距离均是种内距离的62倍。以上结果说明,16S rRNA与COI基因一样,能有效地构建马珂蛤科和帘蛤科的系统发育关系和物种鉴定,但在分析库页岛马珂蛤的遗传多样性时利用COI基因比16S rRNA能发现更多的遗传变异。
