1. 1 Genotypic Analysis: Methods, Considerations, and Examples Biology, Ecology, & Genetics of Forest Diseases March 19, 2009

2. 2 Study the genetic structure of a population in an area Number of different genotypes Determine gene flow between two population Determine if there is an ongoing invasion Duration of infestation

3. 3 Some Considerations in Choosing a Genotyping Method Level of taxonomic resolution desired (Populations? Species? Phyla?) Level of genotypic resolution desired –Dominant vs. codominant markers –Fine (e.g., nucleotide-level) data vs. coarse (e.g., fragment size) genomic scale Previous sequence knowledge Cost and labor constraints

4. 4 Genetic Markers SNPsSingle Nucleotide Polymorphisms substitution of a nucleotide 4 alleles: Adenine, Guanine, Cysteine, Thymine Insertion/deletion of a nucleotide 2 alleles: presence or absence of the nucleotide Approximately every 200 – 300 bp Different degrees of variability Microsatellites variation in number of short tandem repeats Unknown number of alleles High variability

5. 5 Choice of genetic marker (a) Comparison of individuals of the same species but isolated requires markers with low level of variability No microsatellites SNPs in genes necessary for the survival of the cell ATPase (cellular energy) Cyt b (cytochrome b) Cox1 (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1)

6. 6 Choice of genetic marker (b) Comparison of individuals closely related requires markers with high level of variability Microsatellites SNPs in non-coding regions of genes Anonymous SNPs in the genome

7. 7 PCR amplification (a) PCR amplification requires:  DNA template  2 oligonucleotides - Primers  Nucleotides dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP  Taq polymerase

8. 8 PCR reaction (b) 1.Double strand denaturation 2.Annealing of the primers 3.Elongation 5’ 3’

9. 9 Restriction Enzymes Found in bacteria Cut DNA within the molecule (endonuclease) Cut at sequences that are specific for each enzyme (restriction sites) Leave either blunt or sticky ends, depending upon the specific enzyme http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/R/RestrictionEnzymes.html Tobin & Dusheck, Asking About Life, 2nd ed.

12. 12  Size of the amplification product is variable and corresponds to the length of the flanking sequences plus a multiple of the size of the repeat  Co-dominant: homozygote for allele 1 homozygote for allele 2 heterozygote

13. 13 Tetra repeat: allele 1 486 bp

14. 14 Tetra repeat: allele 2 490 bp

15. 15 Sequencing reaction (a) Sequencing reaction requires:  PCR amplification product as template  1 oligonucleotide - Primer  Nucleotides dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP  Taq polymerase  Modified nucleotides ddATP, ddCTP, ddGTP, ddTTP –ddNTPs are incorporated into the polynucleotide chain and block further elongation –ddNTPs are fluorescently labeled, each with a different fluorocrome

25. 25 PCR amplification of a selected gene, with one primer labeled with a fluorophore. Digestion of DNA with a restriction enzyme; number and length of the resulting fragments is determined by the presence/absence of appropriate restriction sites (i.e., depends upon the underlying DNA sequence Because the fluorophore is bound to the 5’ end of the PCR product, only the fragment that occurs 5’ to the restriction site will appear when run on an automated DNA sequencer Size of the fragment may be specific to a certain genotype (though resolution is limited!) 436 281 160303 468485 T-RFLP Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms

26. 26 T-RFLP Analysis I: Hierarchical Clustering Grouping by overall similarity (distance) calculated between plots or communities -- e.g., Jaccard’s index: J=M/(M+N), where M = #matches and N= #mismatches; followed by clustering (e.g., UPGMA) Figure: Plots clustered by bacterial community composition. Groupings do not correspond to carbon dioxide enrichment treatment (Osmundson, Naeem et al., in prep.)

27. 27 T-RFLP Analysis II: MRPP & Indicator Species Analysis Multiresponse permutation procedure (MRPP): Do a priori groups (in this example, based on carbon dioxide treatment) differ significantly in their biotic (in this example, microbial) communities? Indicator Species Analysis: Are there species that discriminate between groups? (Osmundson, Naeem et al., in prep)

29. 29 Random Genomic Markers DNA sequence of suitable SNPs is not available Relatively inexpensive Scan the entire genome producing information on several variations in the same reaction  RAPD Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA  AFLP Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism

30. 30 RAPD Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA Amplification of genomic DNA included between 2 identical short sequences (random) Genomic DNA is amplified with 1 pair of identical (complementary) primers (generally 10 bp and GC rich) example: 5’ AATCGGTACA 3’ and 5’ TGTACCGATT 3’ Amplification using a low annealing temperature (increased amplification for sequences not exactly complementary to the primer sequence) The primers amplify or not depending on the presence or absence of the short sequence used to design the primers 3’ 5’

31. 31 Scoring RAPD Presence (1) or absence (0) of amplification product = Dominant marker  Mismatches between primer and template might also result in decreased amount of PCR product Nucleotide substitution at 3’ end of the primer  no annealing = no amplification Nucleotide substitution at 5’ end of the primer  < annealing = < amplification

32. 32 AFLP Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (Vos et al., 1995)  Genomic DNA digested with 2 restriction enzymes: –EcoRI (6 bp restriction site) cuts infrequently –MseI(4 bp restriction site) cuts frequently GAATTC CTTAAG TTAA AATT

33. 33  Fragments of DNA resulting from restriction digestion are ligated with end-specific adaptors (a different one for each enzyme) to create a new PCR priming site  Pre selective PCR amplification is done using primers complementary to the adaptor + 1 bp (chosen by the user) NNN N

34. 34  Selective amplification using primers complementary to the adaptor (+1 bp) + 2 bp NNN

35. 35 AFLP genotyping PCR amplification using primers corresponding to the new sequence If there are 2 new priming sites within 400 – 1600 bp there is amplification The result is: Presence or absence of amplification 1 or 0 Dominant marker: does not distinguish between heterozygote and homozygote Due mostly to SNPs but also to deletions/insertions
