Mitochondrial DNA control region variation in a population sample from Thailand.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region sequences from hair samples of 213 individuals from Thailand were analyzed using Sanger sequencing. A total of 170 different haplotypes were identified, of which 146 occurred only once (unique haplotypes). The dataset showed a random match probability of 0.87% and a haplotype diversity of 0.9960. The samples were assigned to 85 different haplogroups with B5a, F1a1a, and M being the most frequent ones. Pairwise FST-values between this and other Southeast and East Asian populations revealed significant but relatively low differences, indicating a close relation. Heteroplasmic positions were observed in 12.2% of hair samples confirming the frequent appearance of heteroplasmic positions in hairs. This dataset will complement existing data as an mtDNA reference for forensic investigations.

Project description:Once numbering in the tens of millions, bison (Bison bison) have faced a broad range of challenges over the past century, including genetic impacts from the population bottleneck in the 1800s, and significant loss and fragmentation of habitat resulting in little opportunity for population growth on remaining small, geographically isolated reserves. To identify best practices for bison stewardship against this backdrop, managers must understand the genetic composition of existing conservation herds. This study characterized 14 plains bison (Bison bison bison) herds managed by the U.S. Department of Interior and Parks Canada Agency based on complete mtDNA control region sequences. Among 209 bison, we detected 11 major mtDNA control region haplotypes based on nucleotide substitutions and 23 sub-haplotypes where indels are considered. We determined matrilineal relationships between the herds and compared our genetic findings to historic records. The recent common ancestry of modern bison deriving from small, scattered groups combined with gene flow through foundation and translocation events between herds during the last 100 years, is reflected in Fst value (0.21), haplotype (0.48 ± 0.04) and nucleotide (0.004 ± 0.002) diversities, and mean number of pairwise differences (3.38 ± 1.74). Genetic diversity was distributed unevenly among herds, with 21.41% of genetic variation observed between herds. Median joining network, together with trends in the Tajima's D and Fs tests, revealed two patterns in the recent evolution of mtDNA sequences in bison: mutational process has generated diversity with a Hap 1 haplotype epicenter, and missed mtDNA haplotypes exist in the network due to bottleneck, loss through management practices, or incomplete sampling of specimens across conservation herds. This work significantly expands characterization of the genetic diversity among bison conservation herds, providing additional decision support for managers considering restoring gene flow to achieve long-term species viability.

Project description:Donkeys (Equus asinus) have been used extensively in agriculture and transportations since their domestication, ca. 5000-7000 years ago, but the increased mechanization of the last century has largely spoiled their role as burden animals, particularly in developed countries. Consequently, donkey breeds and population sizes have been declining for decades, and the diversity contributed by autochthonous gene pools has been eroded. Here, we examined coding-region data extracted from 164 complete mitogenomes and 1392 donkey mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control-region sequences to (i) assess worldwide diversity, (ii) evaluate geographical patterns of variation, and (iii) provide a new nomenclature of mtDNA haplogroups. The topology of the Maximum Parsimony tree confirmed the two previously identified major clades, i.e. Clades 1 and 2, but also highlighted the occurrence of a deep-diverging lineage within Clade 2 that left a marginal trace in modern donkeys. Thanks to the identification of stable and highly diagnostic coding-region mutational motifs, the two lineages were renamed as haplogroup A and haplogroup B, respectively, to harmonize clade nomenclature with the standard currently adopted for other livestock species. Control-region diversity and population expansion metrics varied considerably between geographical areas but confirmed North-eastern Africa as the likely domestication center. The patterns of geographical distribution of variation analyzed through phylogenetic networks and AMOVA confirmed the co-occurrence of both haplogroups in all sampled populations, while differences at the regional level point to the joint effects of demography, past human migrations and trade following the spread of donkeys out of the domestication center. Despite the strong decline that donkey populations have undergone for decades in many areas of the world, the sizeable mtDNA variability we scored, and the possible identification of a new early radiating lineage further stress the need for an extensive and large-scale characterization of donkey nuclear genome diversity to identify hotspots of variation and aid the conservation of local breeds worldwide.
