Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, due to the fact that this species lives underwater, its activities are secretive, and its natural population is very small, traditional survey methods are ineffective, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly, and it is urgent to develop new technical means

Embodiment 1

[0025] Example 1: Primer Sensitivity Verification

[0026] 1. Chinese giant salamander tissue sample DNA was extracted using TIANamp Genomic DNA Kit. DNA from tissue samples of 22 Chinese giant salamanders captured from Gutian Mountain, Zhejiang Province (concentration: 1.55 ng / μL, numbers 1-22) were amplified by PCR using the 5 pairs of primers described above. Amplification results showed only clear band after agarose gel electrophoresis, and the sequence length of the band was between 150-250bp.

[0027] According to the brightness of the amplified bands, that is, the amplification efficiency, it was judged that the amplification effects of the primers Ad_Cytb_E1, Ad_Cytb_E3, Ad_Cytb_E5 were better than those of Ad_Cytb_E2, Ad_Cytb_E4.

[0028] 2. Select 6 DNA samples with slightly poor amplification effects, dilute the DNA stock solution 20 times (sample concentration 0.0775ng / μL), and use the above-mentioned 3 pairs of primers with better amplification effects to carry o...

[0031] Example 2: Primer Specificity Verification

[0032] Two methods were used for primer specificity verification:

[0033] (1) On the NCBI website, use the primer BLAST function (https: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / tools / primer-blast / ) to perform simulation verification of the Ad_Cytb_E1 primer specificity against the GenBank database. Ad_Cytb_E1 was proved by primer BLAST: the specificity is high, and the 202 sequences that completely match it are all from the Chinese giant salamander, and the sequences from other species cannot be completely matched, and the number of mismatched bases is 4 to 10, and the giant salamander is closely related The species Japanese giant salamander had a sequence mismatch of 1 base, indicating that it might also be possible to amplify this sample.

[0034] (2) The Chinese giant salamander and 7 other amphibians in the same area: Chinese salamander (Paramesotritonchinesis), Tibetan mountain stream salamander (Batrachuperus tibetanus), light-shoulder...

[0038] Example 3: Verification of Primer Versatility

[0039] 1. To test the amplification of each branch of Chinese giant salamander with Ad_Cytb_E1 primer. The test method is as follows: select 7 representative individuals from the 4 genetic branches of Chinese giant salamander (as shown in Table 2), extract the DNA of these 7 individuals, use Ad_Cytb_E1 primers for PCR amplification, and all can be seen after gel electrophoresis The target band was verified to be the cytochrome b gene sequence of Chinese giant salamander by next-generation sequencing, which showed that the Ad_Cytb_E1 primer had good amplification efficiency for different genetic lines of Chinese giant salamander.

[0041]

[0042] 2. In order to further verify whether the environmental DNA of different clades of giant salamander can be simultaneously amplified, next-generation sequencing is carried out. The DNA of each sample i...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of molecules, and particularly relates to a method for detecting environment DNA of giant salamander distribution. According to the specific technical scheme, according to the method for detecting the environment DNA of giant salamander distribution, at least one pair of primers is used for conducting PCR amplification detection on a to-be-detected sample, if 158-224 bp positive bands appear in an electrophoresis result, it is considered that giant salamanders are distributed in the environment where the to-be-detected sample is sourced, the primer pair is AdCytbE1, and the sequences are SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2. According to the method, environmental DNA of excrement, skin exfoliates, corpses and the like of Chinese giant salamanders in residual water is utilized, a molecular biological technology is combined, a primer with high specificity, high sensitivity and strong universality is developed, and a method capable of carrying out rapid and standardized detection aiming at the distribution of different species of giant salamanders is established.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of molecular technology, and in particular relates to an environmental DNA method for detecting the distribution of giant salamanders. Background technique [0002] The Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus complex) is the flagship species of global amphibian conservation. Due to overuse, habitat quality decline, area reduction, environmental pollution and other reasons, its wild population has declined sharply. The Alliance Red List lists it as a critically endangered species. Habitat protection and artificial population enhancement and release are important protection measures for this species, and detection of original or released individuals and their population distribution is the basis for formulating and evaluating protection measures. [0003] However, due to the fact that this species lives underwater, its activities are secretive, and its natural population is very small, traditional survey methods a...
