Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to universal primers for the complete sequence of mitochondrial genomes of Euryptidae insects and an amplification method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Silphidae belongs to the superfamily Staphylinoidea of ​​the suborder Polyphaga of the order Coleoptera. The body length is 7 to 45 mm (usually 12 to 20 mm), including the largest species in the superfamily Staphylinoidea; the body color is mostly dark, black or dark brown, but the subfamily Nicrophorinae often has bright orange-red markings or bands on the elytra, which is extremely beautiful; most of the insects in the Silphidae family are scavengers, feeding on animal carcasses or other decaying matter; some are obligate or facultative predators, and their prey includes snails, earthworms and small insects. As a major type of necrophilous insect, Silphidae plays an important role in forensic research and application. my country has an extremely rich species of Silphidae insects, and is the origin and distribution center of Nicrophorinae. In recent years, most of the new genera and species published in the world are from southwest my country and neighboring countries and regions. There are currently 75 species of Euphorbiidae recorded in my country, accounting for 40% of the total number of known species in the world.

[0003] Mitochondrial genomes have the characteristics of relatively small molecular weight, maternal inheritance and high mutation rate, and are widely used in population genetics, molecular evolution, comparative and evolutionary genomics, etc. At present, there are only more than 10 complete mitochondrial sequences of the family of necrophilous insects published in Genbank. As a key group of necrophilous insects, more complete mitochondrial genome sequences of the family of necrophilous insects still need to be amplified and sequenced.

[0004] The study found that the mitochondrial genomes of the family of beetles that have been sequenced are all closed circular double-stranded DNA. The main sequencing strategies currently include shotgun high-throughput sequencing methods, methods based on direct sequencing of traditional PCR amplification products, and methods for obtaining mitochondrial genome sequences from transcriptome data. However, the sequencing cost required for shotgun high-throughput sequencing methods is high, the bioinformatics splicing process is relatively complex, and mitochondrial pseudogenes from genomic DNA are easily mixed in, and control regions containing repetitive fragments due to short read lengths are difficult to splice completely. The primer walking method based on traditional PCR to obtain mitochondrial genome sequences uses a large number of primers and has low amplification efficiency. The method of obtaining mitochondrial genome sequences from transcriptome data using second-generation high-throughput sequencing is difficult to guarantee the success rate and accuracy of amplification for control regions with more simple repetitive sequences in the genome due to the limitation of the amplified fragment library (150-400bp), and the analysis process requires corresponding bioinformatics expertise; although the third-generation single-molecule sequencing can obtain the entire mitochondrial genome read length through a single sequencing, it has strict requirements on the DNA quality of insect samples, and the sequencing cost is high, and it also needs to be combined with traditional PCR methods to obtain a complete mitochondrial genome. In addition, the prior art does not disclose universal primers for the complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the family Betygrinidae. Summary of the invention

[0005] Based on the above technical problems, the present invention compares the mitochondrial genome of the family of beetles, screens out the conservative region with the smallest sequence variation, and designs 6 pairs of universal primers for the mitochondrial genome of the family of beetles in the conservative region. The amplified fragment is 3Kb to 4.6Kb long, and there is an overlapping region of 100 to 1200bp between the amplified products, covering the entire mitochondrial genome. It is not necessary to design specific primers for the family of beetles, and the rapid amplification of the mitochondrial genome of a single individual can be achieved, so that the mitochondrial genome information of the family of beetles can be obtained efficiently and at low cost. The purpose is to provide universal primers for the full sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the family of beetles, and a method and application thereof for amplifying the same.

[0043] The present invention also protects a method for amplifying the full sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the family of beetles using universal primers, the specific steps of which include the following:

[0044] Step 1, collection, identification and DNA extraction of the family of beetles: the collected specimens of the family of beetles are soaked in anhydrous ethanol and stored in a refrigerator at -20°C for standby use, a single beetle is selected for dissection, 30 mg of chest muscle is taken, 1 mol / L NaCl, pH=8, 1 mol / L Tris-HCl, pH=8, 1 mol / L EDTA are used to prepare a lysis solution, and then added to the insect muscle, proteinase K is added to extract the whole genome DNA, and the extracted whole genome DNA is stored at -20°C for standby use;

[0045] Step 2, design of universal primers for mitochondrial genome amplification of the family of Eurypteridae: download all the currently published complete sequences of the mitochondrial genome of the family of Eurypteridae from the Genbank database; first, use Geneious software to compare 13 PCGs and 2 rRNA genes with uniform distribution and long length in the mitochondrial genome, and select 8 highly conserved genes with high gene identity and appropriate gene interval, namely Cox1, Cox2, Cox3, rrnS, rrnL, Nad4, Nad5 and Cytb genes, to find out the The conservative sequence region with the smallest base variation; then, according to the comparison results, Geneious software was used to design universal primers in the conservative sequence region. In order to ensure the high efficiency and amplification efficiency of the universal primers, the length of the amplified band was limited to 3-4.6Kb. At the same time, degenerate sites were introduced according to the frequency of base occurrence at each site to increase the universality of the primers; finally, the primers were brought into each full sequence through Oligo7 for screening and adjustment to ensure that the primers met the basic design principles and there was an overlap of more than 100-1200bp between the amplified bands, so that the subsequent experiments could be used for sequence splicing;

[0046] Step 3, using the designed and synthesized primers to amplify, sequence and splice the mitochondrial genome of the family of beetles, and compare and detect its universality and amplification efficiency in the family of beetles;

[0047] Step 3.1, PCR amplification: PCR amplification was performed using the designed 6 pairs of primers and the extracted genome of a single Eurycoma beetle as a template. The PCR reaction system was: 25 μl 2×KOD One TM PCR Master Mix, 3 μl upstream primer, 3 μl downstream primer, 2 μl DNA template, 17 μl double distilled water; PCR amplification conditions: 98°C pre-denaturation for 3 min, 96°C denaturation for 15 s, 50°C annealing for 30 s, 68°C extension for 3 min, amplification for 35-40 cycles, and finally 68°C extension for 10 min; PCR products were electrophoresed on 1% agarose gel;

[0048] Step 3.2, PCR amplified fragment sequencing: sequencing the base sequences of the 6 amplified fragments;

[0049] Step 3.3, splicing the PCR amplified fragments after sequencing: the sequencing results of the 6 fragments after verification are segmented and spliced ​​using Geneious software. Since there is an overlapping region of 100 to 1200 bp between the amplified products when designing universal primers, the amplified fragments can be compared to find the repeated sequence; after removing the repeated sequence, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence is finally obtained;

[0050] Step 3.4, compare the complete mitochondrial genome sequence after splicing: compare the splicing result with the complete sequence of the family Betaeidae in the Genbank database.

[0051] Furthermore, the conserved sequence region amplified when the first pair of universal primers are designed is Nad2-Cox2, and the length of the amplified band is limited to 3000-3300 bp.

[0052] Furthermore, the conserved sequence region amplified by the second pair of universal primers is designed to be Cox1-Nad3, and the length of the amplified band is limited to 3500-3700 bp.

[0053] Furthermore, the conserved sequence region amplified when the third pair of universal primers is designed is Cox3-Nad4, and the length of the amplified band is limited to 3100-3400 bp.

[0054] Furthermore, the amplified conserved sequence region when the fourth pair of universal primers is designed is Nad4-Cytb, and the amplified band length is limited to 3200-3500 bp.

[0055] Furthermore, the conserved sequence region amplified when the fifth pair of universal primers is designed is Cytb-rrnS, and the length of the amplified band is limited to 3800-4000bp.

[0056] Furthermore, the amplified conserved sequence region when the sixth universal primer is designed is rrnL-Nad2, and the length of the amplified band is limited to 3600-4600bp.

[0057] The present invention also protects the application of universal primers for the complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the family Betygrinidae insects. The universal primers are applied in amplifying and sequencing the complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the family Betygrinidae insects.

[0058] Compared with the existing technology, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0059] The present invention can quickly obtain the full sequence information of the mitochondrial genome of the family Pocillopidae by dividing the mitochondrial genome into 6 overlapping fragments, performing ordinary PCR amplification, Sanger sequencing and sequence splicing. The invention has low requirements on operating instruments and analysis equipment, is easy to implement, requires a small number of primer pairs, and the total DNA of a single individual can obtain the full sequence of the entire mitochondrial genome, avoiding interference from genomic DNA of multiple individuals. The invention has been verified in the amplification of the mitochondrial genomes of 5 species of Pocillopidae, and is of great significance for obtaining more full mitochondrial sequences of the family Pocillopidae, further inferring the relationship between the genera of the family Pocillopidae and the phylogenetic relationship between the families of the superfamily Paederoidea, and also provides a reference for studying the evolution and phylogenetic relationship of the suborder Polyphaga.

[0064] Example 1

[0065] The method for amplifying the complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the family of beetles comprises the following specific steps:

[0066] 1. Collection, identification and DNA extraction of the family of burial insects

[0067] All samples of the family of burials were collected in Xining, Qinghai Province. The collected specimens of the family of burials were soaked in anhydrous ethanol and stored in a refrigerator at -20°C for later use. The identification of the family of burials was referred to the Chinese burial beetle. A single burial beetle was selected for dissection. 30 mg of the chest muscle was prepared with 1 mol / L NaCl, pH=8, 1 mol / L Tris-HCl, pH=8, and 1 mol / L EDTA to prepare a lysis solution, which was then added to the insect muscle.

[0068] 2. Design of universal primers for amplification of mitochondrial genomes of Morcellidae insects

[0069] All the published complete mitochondrial genome sequences of the family of Pseudocercidae were downloaded from the Genbank database, as shown in Table 1. First, 13 PCGs and 2 rRNA genes with even distribution and long length in the mitochondrial genome were compared using Geneious software, and 8 highly conserved genes with high gene identity and appropriate gene intervals, namely Cox1, Cox2, Cox3, rrnS, rrnL, Nad4, Nad5 and Cytb genes, were selected to find the conserved sequence regions with the smallest base variation in the above genes.

[0072] Then, according to the comparison results, Geneious software was used to design universal primers in the conserved sequence region. To ensure the high efficiency and amplification efficiency of the universal primers, the length of the amplified band was limited to 3-4.6 Kb (among which, the amplified conserved sequence region when the first pair of universal primers was designed was Nad2-Cox2, and the amplified band length was limited to 3000-3300 bp; the amplified conserved sequence region when the second pair of universal primers was designed was Cox1-Nad3, and the amplified band length was limited to 3500-3700 bp; the amplified conserved sequence region when the third pair of universal primers was designed was Cox3-Nad4, and the amplified band length was limited to 3100-3400 bp; the amplified conserved sequence region when the fourth pair of universal primers was designed was Nad4-Cytb, and the amplified band length was limited to The conserved sequence region when the fifth pair of universal primers is designed is Cytb-rrnS, and the length of the amplified band is limited to 3800-4000bp; the conserved sequence region when the sixth pair of universal primers is designed is rrnL-Nad2, and the length of the amplified band is limited to 3600-4600bp), and degenerate sites are introduced according to the frequency of base occurrence at each site to increase the universality of the primers; finally, the primers are brought into each full sequence through Oligo7 for screening and adjustment to ensure that the primers meet the basic design principles and there is an overlap of more than 100 to 1200bp between the amplified bands, so as to facilitate sequence splicing in subsequent experiments; the synthesized primers are used to amplify the mitochondrial genome of the Funerary Betaeidae to detect its universality and amplification efficiency in the Funerary Betaeidae. During the process, multiple pairs of primers were designed. The experimental results showed that the 6 pairs of universal primers in this application were the best, as shown in Table 2; they corresponded to the Nad2-Cox2, Cox1-Nad3, Cox3-Nad4, Nad4-Cytb, Cytb-rrnS and rrnL-Nad2 regions, respectively.

The gel electrophoresis patterns of Thanatophilus sinuatus (Fabricius, 1775), Thanatophilus roborowskyi (Jakovlev, 1887), Necrodes littoralis (Linnaeus, 1758), Necrophila (Calosilpha) brunnicollis (Kraatz, 1877), and Ptomascopus splagiatus (Ménétriés, 1854) are shown in the attached figure. Figure 2-3 As shown, the product size is close to the target band; in the figure: the primers for amplifying fragment 1 are TM-J211 and C2-N3390; the primers for amplifying fragment 2 are C1-J2196 and N3-N5729; the primers for amplifying fragment 3 are C3-J5526 and N4-N8728; the primers for amplifying fragment 4 are N4-J8109 and CB-N11337; the primers for amplifying fragment 5 are CB-J10942 and SR-N14748; the primers for amplifying fragment 6 are LR-J14612 and N2-N303.
