Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aquatic animal breeding, and particularly relates to a reagent kit and method for parentage identification of Pelteobagrus vishnui based on four-base microsatellite markers. BACKGROUND
[0002] Pelteobagrus vishnui (Richardson), commonly known as Jianghuangpufu, belongs to Siluriformes Bagridae Pelteobagrus, and is the largest and fastest-growing species in the genus, which can reach more than 3000 grams. Due to its strong adaptability, delicious meat, and rich nutrition, it is favored by people. At present, Pelteobagrus vishnui has become an important freshwater aquaculture species in China, and it is also the father of hybrid Pelteobagrus (Pelteobagrus ♀ x Pelteobagrus vishnui ♂). Pelteobagrus vachelli Pelteobagrus vishnui inbreeding is common, which not only affects the growth performance and disease resistance of Pelteobagrus vishnui, but also may lead to a decrease in genetic diversity. When carrying out family selection or comprehensive selection, maintaining the integrity and accuracy of pedigree information is crucial for guiding the selection and pairing of breeding parents. The implementation of mixed breeding of different families can more accurately evaluate the growth performance, hybrid advantage and genetic parameters of the families, but the differentiation of families after mixed breeding is still indispensable.
[0003] Traditional physical marking methods have many shortcomings in differentiating families, such as high cost, time-consuming and laborious, easy to fall off, difficult to supplement, and short duration. Microsatellite markers have been widely used in population structure research, pedigree tracing, parentage identification, etc. Among them, microsatellite parentage identification is widely used in germplasm resource protection, new variety breeding and population genetic management, etc., especially in variety breeding work, which can avoid inbreeding and guide production. At present, the microsatellite markers of Pelteobagrus vishnui are mainly dinucleotide repeats, which may produce non-specific bands with 2 base pairs less than the target fragment due to strand slippage during chain polymerase reaction (PCR) amplification, resulting in "diffusion bands" during electrophoresis, making it difficult to accurately read alleles, leading to unstable experimental results, increasing the uncertainty of genotype determination and misjudgment rate.
[0004] SUMMARY In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a Pelteobagrus vishnui parentage identification reagent kit based on four-base microsatellite markers, which can reduce non-specific "diffusion bands" in PCR amplification, make the genotyping results more accurate, and the parentage identification accuracy higher.

[0017] Based on cost and operability considerations, one of skill in the art can multiplex PCR amplification for each four-base microsatellite marker, and thus different fluorescent labels can be used for the forward primers of each primer pair.
[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, the fluorescent labeling and grouping are as shown in the following table:
[0019]
[0020] For each group, the forward and reverse primers for each four-base microsatellite marker can be mixed together, or all primers in the same group can be mixed together.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the forward primers of each primer pair in the primer pair combination are labeled with fluorescence at the 5' end, as described in the second aspect of the present application.
[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, the PCR amplification in step S2 is multiplex amplification, and the fluorescence labels of the forward primers of different four-base microsatellite markers are different in the same reaction system.
[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, the multiplex PCR amplification can be performed in groups, and a specific grouping case is shown in the table of the second aspect of the present application.

[0036] Each microsatellite marker in the microsatellite marker combination in the present application is a four-base repeat unit, which can reduce the non-specific "diffusion band" in PCR amplification, so that the genotyping result is more accurate and the accuracy of parentage identification is higher.

[0051] Example 1 Screening and verification of SSR markers
[0052] 1. Sample collection
[0053] The invention collected 120 tail fin samples of 3 different breeding populations of Pseudobagrus vachelli in Anhui Province, which were preserved in liquid nitrogen. Among them, 90 tail fin samples were used for whole genome resequencing and microsatellite marker screening. The remaining 30 tail fin samples (including parents and backup parents from different breeding populations in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River) were used for microsatellite marker verification.
[0054] 2. Whole genome resequencing
[0055] DNA was extracted from samples using blood / cell / tissue genomic DNA extraction kit (Tiangen). The DNA concentration was quantified by Qubit dsDNA HS assay kit (Shenguo), and the DNA integrity was verified by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. The DNA of different Pseudobagrus vachelli individuals was mixed in equal amounts to construct a library for next-generation sequencing (NGS).
[0056] The library preparation and sequencing process is as follows:
[0057] DNA fragmentation: 500 ng of genomic DNA was randomly fragmented using Covaris disruptor (Woburn);
[0058] End repair and A tail addition: Hieff NGS MaxUp II DNA library preparation kit (Yixing) was used for end repair, and A tail was added at the 3' end; ®
[0059] Adapter addition: Fast T4 DNA ligase was used to connect sequencing adapters to fragmented DNA, and enhancers were added to improve ligation efficiency;
[0060] PCR amplification and purification: Index primers were introduced during PCR, and the amplification product (about 400 bp) was purified by magnetic beads;
[0061] Library quality control: Qubit 4.0 (Thermo) was used to quantify the library concentration, and 2% agarose gel electrophoresis was used to verify the library fragment size;
[0062] High-throughput sequencing: After mixing the library, Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing platform was used for double-end sequencing (2x150 bp).
[0063] 3. Sequence assembly, SSR motif detection and primer design
[0064] 3.1 Data preprocessing
[0065] Raw sequencing reads were quality controlled using Fastp (default parameters) to remove reads containing adapter sequences and low-quality / ambiguous bases at 5' or 3' ends, and to obtain clean reads.
[0066] 3.2 Sequence assembly
[0067] Filtered clean reads were assembled into contigs using SOAP denovo software.
[0068] 3.3 Simple sequence repeat (SSR) detection
[0069] MISA tool was used to scan SSR motifs in contigs, with the following detection thresholds:
[0070] Repeat unit length and minimum repeat number:
[0071] (1) Single-base (1-mer) repeat ≥ 10 times;
[0072] (2) Two-base (2-mer) repeat ≥ 6 times;
[0073] (3) Three to six-base (3-6-mer) repeat ≥ 5 times.
[0074] SSR spacing requirement: minimum distance between adjacent SSRs is 200 bp.
[0075] A total of 588,080 sequences were obtained from the whole-genome resequencing of W. wui, and 1,317,233 SSRs with repeat number ≥ 5 were identified (see Table 1). The distribution of SSR types was as follows:
[0076] (1) Two-base repeat: highest proportion, up to 67.10%;
[0077] (2) Single-base repeat: second, accounting for 17.45%;
[0078] (3) Four-base repeat: accounting for 8.40%;
[0079] (4) Three-base repeat: accounting for 6.17%;
[0080] (5) Five-base and six-base repeat: relatively rare, accounting for only 0.78% and 0.09%, respectively.
[0081] Table 1. SSR distribution statistics of W. wui whole genome
[0082]
[0083] Therefore, the SSR in the genome of P. walsinghami is mainly composed of short repeat units (two bases, one base), and the proportion of long repeat units (five, six bases) is very low.
[0084] 3.4 Primer design
[0085] Based on the upstream and downstream sequences of the SSR motif, the forward and reverse primers were designed using Primer3 (v4.1.0), with the following parameter settings:
[0086] (1) Product size range: 100-280 bp;
[0087] (2) Maximum terminal stability: 250;
[0088] (3) The remaining parameters use the default values.
[0089] 4. Characterization of tetrameric SSR markers
[0090] For the four-base microsatellite site, primer pairs were designed and PCR amplification was performed in 10 samples. The PCR reaction system was 25 μL, including 1 μL of P. walsinghami genomic template DNA with a concentration of 50 ng / μL; 12.5 μL of 2×RapidTaq premix (Novozyme; Catalog No. P222-03); 0.5 μL of forward and reverse primer mixture (each primer concentration was 10 μM); and ddH2O to 25 μL. The PCR program was 94 ℃ pre-denaturation for 5 min; 94 ℃ denaturation for 30 s, annealing for 40 s, 72 ℃ extension for 50 s, for a total of 32 cycles; and finally 72 ℃ extension for 10 min. Among them, the annealing temperature was determined by gradient PCR. The PCR products were detected by 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis to judge the amplification stability.
[0091] The results showed that the primer pairs of 23 four-base microsatellite sites were stable, located on 20 chromosomes, and one four-base microsatellite site was retained on the same chromosome. A total of 20 four-base microsatellite sites were obtained, and the corresponding primer information is shown in Table 2.
[0092] Table 2 Primer information of four-base microsatellite sites
[0093]
[0094] The PCR amplification products were wrapped with tin foil paper to avoid light and stored at low temperature, mixed with internal standard LIZ500, and subjected to SSR typing using ABI 3730XL gene analyzer. The SSR typing results were read by Genemarker software, and the number of alleles (Na), observed heterozygosity (Ho), expected heterozygosity (He), polymorphism information content (PIC), null allele frequency (FN), exclusion probability (E-P), and combined exclusion probability (CE-P) of the microsatellite loci were calculated using software Cervus 3.0.
[0095] The 20 screened four-base microsatellite loci were successfully amplified and had high specificity. Genetic data analysis of 30 samples showed (see Table 3 for details):
[0096] The Na of the four-base microsatellite loci ranged from 2 to 12 (average 5.60), and only the allele number of JHS-18 locus was 2; the Ho ranged from 0.233 to 1.000 (average 0.650); and the He ranged from 0.216 to 0.894 (average 0.602).
[0097] Among the 20 four-base microsatellite loci, 14 showed high polymorphism (PIC>0.5), 4 showed moderate polymorphism (PIC: 0.25-0.5), and only two loci, JHS-4 and JHS-18, showed low polymorphism (PIC<0.25).
[0098] In addition, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) test showed that after Bonferroni correction, 6 loci significantly deviated from HWE (P<0.01), and the FN ranged from -0.193 to 0.131.
[0099] Table 3 Genetic analysis results of four-base microsatellite loci in 30 samples
[0100]
[0101] The parent exclusion probability analysis results are shown in Table 4.
[0102] Table 4 Parental exclusion probability and cumulative of four-base microsatellite loci
[0103]
[0104] From Table 4, we can know that:
[0105] (1) Single-site exclusion probability range
[0106] Single parent exclusion probability (E-1P) when both parents are unknown: 0.023-0.606;
[0107] Single parent exclusion probability (E-2P) when one of the parents is known: 0.109-0.756;
[0108] Parent pair exclusion probability (E-PP) when both parents are unknown: 0.186-0.909.
[0109] (2) Cumulative exclusion probability
[0110] The 20 SSR loci were ranked in descending order according to the polymorphism information content (PIC) value, and the cumulative exclusion probability was calculated by accumulating high PIC loci.
[0111] The results showed that the PIC value of the locus was significantly positively correlated with the single parent exclusion probability (E-1P) when both parents were unknown (R²=0.9125, see Figure 1 ).
[0112] (3) Cumulative exclusion probability threshold
[0113] When using 13 high PIC loci, the cumulative single parent exclusion probability (CE-1P) when both parents are unknown reached 99.48%, and the cumulative single parent exclusion probability (CE-2P) when one of the parents is known and the cumulative parent pair exclusion probability (CE-PP) when both parents are unknown both reached 99.99%. Further increasing the number of loci (14-20) did not significantly improve the exclusion probability (see Figure 2 ).
[0114] Based on the balance between genotyping cost and identification efficiency, the inventors selected 13 high polymorphic four-base microsatellite loci (JHS-1, JHS-2, JHS-3, JHS-5, JHS-7, JHS-8, JHS-9, JHS-10, JHS-14, JHS-15, JHS-16, JHS-17, and JHS-19) for subsequent kinship identification.
[0115] Example 2 Multiplex PCR amplification kit and use method
[0116] The forward primers of the primer pairs for the 13 microsatellite loci screened in Example 1 were modified at the 5' end with fluorescence modification, and the fluorescence modification was labeled with hexachlorofluorescein (HEX, green), 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM, blue), n-ethylmaleimide derivative (NED, black), and carboxy-x-rhodamine (ROX, red).
[0117] The primer sequence, annealing temperature, product size and fluorescence label information were introduced into Multiplex Manager 1.0 software to generate a multiplex PCR combination scheme. Based on the simulation analysis results, the primer final concentration and annealing temperature were optimized, and finally four groups of optimal multiplex PCR combinations were determined, as shown in Table 5.
[0118] Table 5 Multiplex PCR primer combination information
[0119]
[0120] For each site, the concentration of the forward primer and the reverse primer was 10 μM, and the added amount was 0.3 μL, 0.5 μL or 0.8 μL, as shown in Table 5.
[0121] The forward primer and the reverse primer for the same site can be mixed to obtain a primer mixture (the added amount after mixing is 1 μL), and further, for each group, the primer mixtures for different sites can be further mixed for convenient addition, and of course, mixing can also be performed before use. The kit also includes 2×Rapid Taq premix (Novozyme; Catalog No. P222-03) and ddH2O.
[0122] When the kit is used, the multiplex PCR reaction system (25 μL) contains: 1 μL DNA template (50 ng / μL); 12.5 μL 2×Rapid Taq premix; the primer or primer mixture is added according to the primer addition volume in Table 5, and ddH2O is added to a final volume of 25 μL.
[0123] The PCR program is: 94 ℃ pre-denaturation for 5 min; 94 ℃ denaturation for 30 s, 58 ℃ annealing for 40 s, 72 ℃ extension for 50 s, a total of 32 cycles; finally 72 ℃ extension for 10 min.
[0124] It is worth noting that for group D, when the primer addition amount is also 0.5 μL, the ROX signal (red) value is low, as shown in Figure 3 Therefore, the addition amount of the primer pair for JHS-14 site is increased (0.8 μL for each of the forward primer and the reverse primer), and the addition amount of the primer pair for JHS-15 and JHS-19 is reduced (0.3 μL for each of the forward primer and the reverse primer).
[0125] The kit realizes high-throughput and high-precision kinship identification analysis by balancing detection efficiency and cost.
[0126] Example 3 Application of the kit in Wasi yellow catfish parentage identification
[0127] (1) Establishment of full-sibling family of Wasi yellow catfish
[0128] In the breeding season, the individuals of Pseudobagrus vachelli with strong constitution and mature gonad were selected as the breeding parents for artificial propagation, and the ratio of female to male was 1:1. The fertilized eggs of each pair of Pseudobagrus vachelli were hatched and cultured in a separate plastic bucket. A total of 7 full-sibling families were established, and the tail fins of each parent were cut off and preserved in anhydrous ethanol for DNA extraction. From each family, 20-30 tail fins of the offspring were randomly collected, a total of 190, and preserved in anhydrous ethanol as samples for parentage identification, and the female parent was marked as X and the male parent was marked as Y.
[0129] (2) DNA extraction
[0130] The genomic DNA of the parents and offspring of Pseudobagrus vachelli was extracted, as in Example 1.
[0131] (3) Multiplex PCR amplification
[0132] Using the extracted DNA as a template, the kit and method of Example 2 were used for multiplex PCR amplification, and the multiplex PCR typing map of the four groups of microsatellite loci is shown in Figure 4 .
[0133] (4) Genotyping
[0134] The PCR amplification products were separated on an ABI 3730XL genetic analyzer, and the genotypes of each individual at each microsatellite locus were read using GeneMarker software.
[0135] (5) Parentage identification
[0136] The software Cervus 3.0 was used for allele frequency analysis, simulation analysis and parentage identification analysis. The simulation analysis was set to 10,000 simulated offspring, and the number of candidate parents was set according to the actual situation. The simulation analysis was performed on 100% of the candidate parents, with a 1% typing error allowed and a confidence level of 95%. The correlation between the genotypes of the tested individuals and the parents was tested by likelihood ratio (LOD), to determine the parentage relationship between the tested individuals and the candidate parents. When the LOD value is greater than 0, the candidate parent may be the true parent, and the individual with the highest LOD value is the most likely parent; when the LOD value is less than 0, the candidate parent is unlikely to be the true parent.
[0137] As shown in Figure 5 , when the size of the candidate parent pool is ≤60, the identification accuracy of the individual female parent, the individual male parent and the parent pair is 100%; when the size of the candidate parent pool increases to 100, the identification accuracy of the individual female parent or the individual male parent decreases to about 90%, while the accuracy of the parent pair remains 100%; when the size of the candidate parent pool expands to 110: the identification accuracy of the individual female parent or the individual male parent further decreases to 88%, but the accuracy of the parent pair remains stable at 100%.
[0138] Based on Cervus software, 190 offspring and 7 full-sib families were analyzed by parentage identification. The detection rate of candidate parents was 100%, the success rate of site typing was set to 0.99, the error rate of analysis was 0.01, and the critical value of confidence level was set to 80% and 95%. The LOD of 190 offspring individuals was all greater than 0 (Table 6), and the simulation identification rate was 100%. Compared with the actual recorded information, two offspring failed to match the correct parents, and the actual identification accuracy was 98.94%.
