ABSTRACT

In this study, we describe the first set of SNP markers for the South African abalone, Haliotis midae. A cDNA library was constructed from which ESTs were selected for the screening of SNPs. The observed frequency of SNPs in this species was estimated at one every 185 bp. When characterized in wild-caught abalone, the minor allele frequencies and F(ST) estimates for every SNP indicated that these markers may potentially be useful for population analysis, parentage assignment and linkage mapping in Haliotis midae. No linkage disequilibrium was observed between SNPs originating from different EST sequences. These SNPs, together with additional SNPs currently being developed, will provide a useful complementary set of markers to the currently available genetic markers in abalone.

ABSTRACT

Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the protoporphyrinogen oxidase gene (PPOX) were used for inter-population comparisons of six South African populations and two non-South African Caucasian populations. Novel polymorphisms identified in the promoter region and exon 11 of the PPOX gene, as well as three known variants in exon 1 and intron 2, were analysed using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and restriction enzyme analyses. Significant population differences were found for four of the five polymorphisms analysed. A G-to-A transition was found at nucleotide position -1081 and is the first polymorphism to be identified in the 5' promoter region of the gene. A novel A-to-C substitution at nucleotide position 3880 in exon 11 was not detected in subjects of European descent. This study represents the first inter-population comparison of allelic variation at the PPOX locus. The significant differences observed between populations demonstrate the importance of population considerations when marker association studies are performed at this locus.
