Population genetics of the yellow fever mosquito in Trinidad: comparisons of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers

Abstract: Recent development of DNA markers provides powerful tools for population genetic analyses. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers result from a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based DNA fingerprinting technique that can detect multiple restriction fragments in a single polyacrylamide gel, and thus are potentially useful for population genetic studies. Because AFLP markers have to be analysed as dominant loci in order to estimate population genetic diversity and genetic structure parameters, one … Show more

“…The LD correlation coefficient (r LD ) between alleles at different loci was used to express the magnitude of LD, and was computed based on the procedure of Weir and Cockerham (1984), using the program LINKDOS (http://wbiomed.curtin.edu.au/genepop/ linkdos.html; Garnier-Gere and Dillman 1992; cf. Yan et al 1999;Sinervo and Clobert 2003). A 2 -statistic can be used to test the significance of r LD , but it can be seriously inflated by the presence of rare alleles (Yan et al 1999).…”

“…However, in these previous studies potential local effects related to LD were not considered, perhaps because a common view has been that LD normally extends over only a few kilobases (kb) (Kruglyak 1999;Dunning et al 2000). It is therefore important to note that recent empirical studies challenge the view that low levels of LD should be the norm in natural populations (Hästbacka et al 1992;Ledig et al 1999;Yan et al 1999;Sharbel et al 2000;Reich et al 2001;Stephens et al 2001;Dawson et al 2002;McRae et al 2002;Sinervo and Clobert 2003). Substantial LD has been found in recently bottlenecked and expanded human populations (Hästbacka et al 1992;Reich et al 2001;Stephens et al 2001).…”

“…Since we have not been able to find these molecular markers through isozyme electrophoresis, and bearing in mind that the mutation rate of isozyme markers is usually lower than that of DNA markers (Li, 1997;Yan et al, 1999), DNA markers will be the best candidates for differentiating among individuals belonging to both species.…”

“…When Yan et al (1999) compared the F ST values for Aedes aegypti obtained with different dominant markers, they attributed the differences to the mutation rate in these loci. If the rate of mutation is relatively high, then the F ST values can be seriously underestimated, especially with RAPD markers.…”

“…Heterozygosity was calculated according to Black IV and Munstermann (1996) and Apostol et al (1996), which consider the absent bands (q) and estimates q j (i), the frequency of the null allele at locus i (I = 1,...,L) in population j(j = 1,...,r) as: q j (I) = √x j (i), where x j (i) is the frequency of null recessive homozygotes in population j at locus i, given the difficulties of obtaining the observed heterozygosity from dominant markers ,1995, Black IV & Munstermann 1996, Tabachnick & Black IV 1996, Yan et al 1999.…”
