摘要:

微单倍型(microhaplotype, MH)是在一定DNA片段范围之内,由至少两个单核苷酸多态性位点组成的遗传标记。MH兼具无stutter伪峰、多态性丰富以及扩增子较小等特点,有望成为法医学上的一种新型遗传标记。为了从全基因组维度上分析MH的特征,进一步发掘其应用潜能,本研究基于千人基因组计划中105个中国南方汉族个体的全基因组测序数据,构建了迄今为止最全面的MH数据集。结果表明,人类基因组中350 bp范围之内的MH位点数量共计9,490,075个,且微单倍型分布密度对染色体变异水平具有提示作用。从多种碱基跨度范围对MH的多态性分析表明,其多态性潜能可达到或者超过常用短串联重复序列位点的水平。此外,本文归纳总结了MH组装灵活等特点,并提出了构建微单倍型数据库的方案。

Abstract:

Microhaplotype loci (microhaplotype, MHs), defined by two or more closely linked single nucleotide polymorphisms, are a type of molecular marker within a short segment of DNA. As emerging forensic genetic markers, MHs have no stutter artefacts and higher polymorphism, and permit the design of smaller amplicons. In order to identify the markers from a genome wide perspective and explore their potential application further, we constructed the most comprehensive MH dataset to date, based on the whole genome sequencing data of 105 Han individuals in Southern China from 1000 Genomes Project. The results showed that there were 9,490,075 MH loci in the range of 350 bp in the human genome, and the distribution density of microhaplotypes suggests gene variation. Polymorphism analysis of MHs from various base spans showed that the polymorphism of MHs could reach or exceed common short tandem repeat sites. In addition, based on their flexible assembly, a scheme to build the public database of microhaplotypes was proposed.
