High-Throughput Sequencing Strategy for Microsatellite Genotyping Using Neotropical Fish as a Model.

ABSTRACT: Genetic diversity and population studies are essential for conservation and wildlife management programs. However, monitoring requires the analysis of multiple loci from many samples. These processes can be laborious and expensive. The choice of microsatellites and PCR calibration for genotyping are particularly daunting. Here we optimized a low-cost genotyping method using multiple microsatellite loci for simultaneous genotyping of up to 384 samples using next-generation sequencing (NGS). We designed primers with adapters to the combinatorial barcoding amplicon library and sequenced samples by MiSeq. Next, we adapted a bioinformatics pipeline for genotyping microsatellites based on read-length and sequence content. Using primer pairs for eight microsatellite loci from the fish Prochilodus costatus, we amplified, sequenced, and analyzed the DNA of 96, 288, or 384 individuals for allele detection. The most cost-effective methodology was a pseudo-multiplex reaction using a low-throughput kit of 1 M reads (Nano) for 384 DNA samples. We observed an average of 325 reads per individual per locus when genotyping eight loci. Assuming a minimum requirement of 10 reads per loci, two to four times more loci could be tested in each run, depending on the quality of the PCR reaction of each locus. In conclusion, we present a novel method for microsatellite genotyping using Illumina combinatorial barcoding that dispenses exhaustive PCR calibrations, since non-specific amplicons can be eliminated by bioinformatics analyses. This methodology rapidly provides genotyping data and is therefore a promising development for large-scale conservation-genetics studies.

Project description:Soybean (Glycine max) breeding involves improving commercially grown varieties by introgressing important agronomic traits from poor yielding accessions and/or wild relatives of soybean while minimizing the associated yield drag. Molecular markers associated with these traits are instrumental in increasing the efficiency of producing such crosses and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are particularly well suited for this task, owing to high density in the non-genic regions and thus increased likelihood of finding a tightly linked marker to a given trait. A rapid method to develop SNP markers that can differentiate specific loci between any two parents in soybean is thus highly desirable. In this study we investigate such a protocol for developing SNP markers between multiple soybean accessions and the reference Williams 82 genome. To restrict sampling frequency reduced representation libraries (RRLs) of genomic DNA were generated by restriction digestion followed by library construction. We chose to sequence four accessions Dowling (PI 548663), Dwight (PI 597386), Komata (PI200492) and PI 594538A for their agronomic importance as well as Williams 82 as a control.MseI was chosen to digest genomic DNA based on predictions that it will cut sparingly in the mathematically defined high-copy-number regions of the genome. All RRLs were sequenced on the Illumina genome analyzer. Reads were aligned to the Glyma1 reference assembly and SNP calls made from the alignments. We identified from 4294 to 14550 SNPs between the four accessions and the Williams 82 reference. In addition a small number of SNPs (1142) were found by aligning Williams 82 reads to the reference assembly (Glyma1) suggesting limited genetic variation within the Williams 82 line. The SNP data allowed us to estimate genetic diversity between the four lines and Williams 82. Restriction digestion of soybean genomic DNA with MseI followed by high throughput sequencing provides a rapid and reproducible method for generating SNP markers.
