摘要: 本文以亚洲象肌肉样品提出的DNA 为模板,从非洲象31 个微卫星位点和5 个已知亚洲象微卫星位点中筛选勐养亚洲象的微卫星位点,进而对在西双版纳勐养保护区3 年采集到的191 份亚洲象粪便样品中提出的DNA 进行特异性PCR 扩增、基因分型、检测位点信息和遗传多样性分析。结果表明:36 个位点中有14 个位点能在亚洲象肌肉样品提出的DNA 中成功扩增,且经测序证实为微卫星位点。其中9 个多态位点能在185 份粪便样品DNA 中稳定扩增。勐养种群中,3 个位点可能偏离ardy-Weubberg 平衡,至少8 个位点间无明显连锁存在,平均等位基因数3.78 ± 1.72,平均期望杂和度0.32 ±0.06,平均观察杂和度0.36 ±0.02,平均多态信息含量0.28 , 说明这9 个位点适用于勐养亚洲象的遗传学研究。根据微卫星位点的杂合度和等位基因频率,相比于其他亚洲象种群,勐养亚洲象种群遗传多样性较低且等位基因频率具有特异性。

Abstract: To get the appropriate microsatellite markers,we first screened 31 loci originally developed in the African elephant and five in the Asian elephant (Elephas maximua) using one muscle sample and then test the locus polymorphism and analyze genetic variation by the total 191 faecal elephant samples collected in Mengyang Nature Reserve through 4 - 8 repeat PCR and genotyping. The results showed 14 loci from the 36 can amplify in the target muscle DNA sample and verified to be microsatellite after sequencing. Nine microsatellite loci were optimized for faecal DNA amplification in the targeted Asian elephant population. For Mengyang population,we obtained amplified product from 185 of the total 191 samples (96.9%) and 55 unique genotypes. 3 loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and at least 8 loci lacked linkage. The average number of alleles is 3.78 ±1. 72, the average expected and observed heterozygosity and PIC were 0.32 ± 0. 06, 0. 36 ±0.02 and 0.28, respectively,which indicated that these loci were suitable to genetic researches for Asian elephant. The relatively low heterozygosity (0.32 ±0.06) and allele frequencies compared with other populations showed that the genetic variation was low and genetic structure was potentially skewed in the Mengyang population.
