The invention discloses a geographic
bighead carp population tracing method based on a minimum feature
allele combination, and belongs to the technical field of aquatic food tracing and
population genetics. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, constructing a
microsatellite initial
database of a
bighead carp group with a known geographic source; then, through a multi-stage screening process combining
allele frequency filtering, Fst value screening and step-by-step
discriminant analysis performed by using a specific F value threshold (entering 3.84, deleting 2.71), screening out a minimum feature
allele combination with extremely small quantity and extremely strong
discriminant force from a large number of allele; based on the combination, establishing a linear
discriminant function by adopting
linear discriminant analysis; for to-be-detected
bighead carp individuals, rapid and low-cost geographical
traceability can be completed only by detecting the
genotype of the combination and calculating the distinguishing
score of each group to which the bighead
carp individuals belong. According to the method, the number of
microsatellite sites which need to be detected is reduced from 15 to 5, the cost is saved by more than 60%, and the judgment accuracy rate reaches 100%.
