Linkage and genetic mapping in Eukaryotes
2
Key questions
  • For genes on the same chromosome, can new
    combinations of alleles be detected?
  • By what cellular mechanism does new combinations
    happen?
  • Can the frequency of new combinations be related
    to the location of genes on chromosome?
  • Can we test if genes are on the same chromosome?

Outline
  • Introduction
  • Discovery of linked genes
  • Recombination
  • Linkage maps

4
INTRODUCTION
  • Each species of organism must contain hundreds to
    thousands of genes
  • Yet there is only a small number of chromosomes
  • Therefore, each chromosome is likely to carry
    many hundred or even thousands of different genes
  • The transmission of such genes will violate
    Mendels law of independent assortment

5
INTRODUCTION
  • In eukaryotic species, each linear chromosome
    contains a long piece of DNA
  • A typical chromosome contains many hundred or
    even a few thousand different genes
  • The term linkage has two related meanings
  • 1. Two or more genes can be located on the same
    chromosome
  • 2. Genes that are close together tend to be
    transmitted as a unit linked genes

6
DISCOVERY OF LINKED GENES
  • In 1905, William Bateson and Reginald Punnett
    conducted a cross in sweet pea involving two
    different traits
  • Flower color and pollen shape
  • This is a dihybrid cross that is expected to
    yield a 9331 phenotypic ratio in the F2
    generation
  • However, Bateson and Punnett obtained surprising
    results

DISCOVERY OF LINKED GENES
  • They suggested that the transmission of the two
    traits from the parents was somehow coupled
  • The two traits are not easily assorted in an
    independent manner
  • However, they did not realize that the coupling
    is due to the linkage of the two genes on the
    same chromosome

9
DISCOVERY OF LINKED GENES
  • The first direct evidence of linkage came from
    studies of Thomas Hunt Morgan
  • Morgan investigated several traits that followed
    an X-linked pattern of inheritance
  • One of his experiment involved three traits
  • Body color
  • Eye color
  • Wing length

10
(No Transcript)
11
  • Morgan observed a much higher proportion of the
    combinations of traits found in the parental
    generation
  • Morgans explanation
  • All three genes are located on the X chromosome
  • Therefore, they tend to be transmitted together
    as a unit they do not assort independently

12
Chi Square Analysis
  • This method is frequently used to determine if
    the outcome of a dihybrid cross is consistent
    with linkage or independent assortment
  • Lets consider the data concerning body color and
    eye color

13
  • Step 1 Propose a hypothesis.
  • The genes for eye color and body color are
    X-linked and, somehow, independently assorting
  • Even though the observed data appear inconsistent
    with this hypothesis, the hypothesis allow us to
    calculate expected values
  • Indeed, we actually anticipate that the chi
    square analysis will allow us to reject this
    hypothesis in favor of a linkage hypothesis
  • Step 2 Based on the hypothesis, calculate the
    expected values of each of the four phenotypes.
  • An independent assortment hypothesis predicts
    that each phenotype has an equal probability of
    occurring

14
  • Total offspring equals 2,205
  • Therefore, the expected number of each phenotype
    is 1/4 X 2,205 551

15
  • Step 3 Apply the chi square formula

16
  • Step 4 Interpret the calculated chi square value
  • This is done with a chi square table
  • There are four experimental categories (n 4)
  • Therefore, the degrees of freedom (df) is n -1
    3
  • The calculated chi square value is enormous
  • Thus, the deviation between observed and expected
    values is very large
  • Such a large deviation is expected to occur by
    chance alone less than 0.5 of time (p0.005,
    df3, c212.838)
  • Therefore, we reject the hypothesis that the two
    genes assort independently
  • In other words, we conclude that the genes are
    linked

17
RECOMBINATION
Morgan provided evidence for the linkage of
several x-linked genes. However, he still had to
interpret two key observations
  • 1. Why did the F2 generation have a significant
    number of nonparental combinations?
  • 2. Why was there a quantitative difference
    between the various nonparental combinations?

18
RECOMBINATION
  • Lets reorganize Morgans data by considering
    the pairs of genes separately

19
RECOMBINATION
  • To explain these data, Morgan considered the
    previous studies of the cytologist F.A Janssens
  • Janssens had observed chiasmata microscopically
  • And proposed that crossing over involves a
    physical exchange between homologous chromosomes
  • Morgan shrewdly realized that crossing over
    between homologous X chromosomes was consistent
    with his data
  • Crossing over did not occur between the X and Y
    chromosome
  • The three genes were not found on the Y
    chromosome Heteromorphic pair

20
RECOMBINATION
  • In diploid eukaryotic species, linkage can be
    altered during meiosis as a result of crossing
    over
  • Crossing over
  • Occurs during prophase I of meiosis at the
    bivalent stage
  • Non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes
    exchange DNA segments
  • The breakage of two DNA molecules at the same
    position and their rejoining in two reciprocal
    nonparental combinations.

21
The haploid cells contain the same combination of
alleles as the original chromosomes
The arrangement of linked alleles has not been
altered
22
These haploid cells contain a combination of
alleles NOT found in the original chromosomes
This new combination of alleles is a result of
genetic recombination
These are termed parental or non-recombinant cells
These are termed nonparental or recombinant cells
23
RECOMBINATION
  • The genetic analysis of organisms whose four
    products of meiosis remain together in groups
    demonstrated that crossing-over occurs at the
    four chromatid stages (bivalent stage)

24
RECOMBINATION
  • The genetic analysis of organisms whose four
    products of meiosis remain together in groups
    demonstrated that crossing-over occurs at the
    four chromatid stages (bivalent stage)

25
RECOMBINATION
  • For any pair of homologous chromosomes, 2, 3 or 4
    chromatids can take part in crossing-over events
    in a single meiocyte

26
LINKAGE MAPS
  • Terminology
  • 1. A slash separates two homologs
  • A/a (omitted if 2 identical alleles A A/A)
  • 2. Alleles on the same homolog are separated by
    a comma
  • A,B/a,b
  • 3. Alleles are written in the same order on each
    homolog
  • 4. Different chromosome locations are indicated
    by a semicolon
  • A/aB/b
  • 5. Alleles on the same homolog cis conformation,
    alleles on different homologs trans conformation
  • A,B/a,b (A and B) and (a and b) are in cis (A
    and b) and (a and B) are in trans
  • A,b/a,B (A and b) and (a and B) are in cis (A
    and B) and (a and b) are in trans
  • Xw/Ycn,bwird1/ird2

27
LINKAGE MAPS
  • Morgan made three important hypotheses to explain
    his results
  • 1. The genes for body color, eye color and wing
    length are all located on the X-chromosome
  • They tend to be inherited together
  • 2. Due to crossing over, the homologous X
    chromosomes (in the female) can exchange pieces
    of chromosomes
  • This created new combination of alleles
  • 3. The likelihood of crossing over depends on
    the distance between the two genes
  • Crossing over is more likely to occur between two
    genes that are far apart from each other

28
These parental phenotypes are the most common
offspring
These recombinant offspring are not uncommon
because the genes are far apart
29
These recombinant offspring are fairly uncommon
because the genes are very close together
These recombinant offspring are very unlikely 1
out of 2,205
30
LINKAGE MAPS
  • Linkage or genetic maps allow us to estimate the
    relative distances between linked genes, based on
    the likelihood that a crossover will occur
    between them
  • Experimentally, the percentage of recombinant
    offspring is correlated with the distance between
    the two genes
  • If the genes are far apart ? many recombinant
    offspring
  • If the genes are close ? very few recombinant
    offspring
  • Map distance
  • The units of distance are called map units (mu)
  • They are also referred to as centiMorgans (cM) or
    Sturts
  • One map unit is equivalent to 1 recombination
    frequency

31
LINKAGE MAPS
  • Genetic mapping experiments are typically
    accomplished by carrying out a testcross
  • A mating between an individual that is
    heterozygous for two or more genes and one that
    is homozygous recessive for the same genes
  • Testcross
  • This cross concerns two linked genes affecting
    bristle length and body color in fruit flies
  • e ebony body color
  • e gray body color
  • s short bristles
  • s normal bristles
  • One parent displays both recessive traits
  • It is homozygous recessive for the two genes (ss
    ee)
  • The other parent is heterozygous for the two
    genes
  • The s and e alleles are linked on one chromosome
  • The s and e alleles are linked on the
    homologous chromosome

32
Chromosomes are the product of a crossover during
meiosis in the heterozygous parent
Recombinant offspring are fewer in number than
nonrecombinant offspring
33
LINKAGE MAPS
  • The data can be used to estimate the distance
    between the two genes
  • Map distance

  • Therefore, the s and e genes are 12.3 map units
    apart from each other along the same chromosome

34
Alfred Sturtevants Experiment
  • The first genetic map was constructed in 1911 by
    Alfred Sturtevant
  • He was an undergraduate who spent time in the
    laboratory of Thomas Hunt Morgan
  • Sturtevant wrote
  • In conversation with Morgan I suddenly
    realized that the variations in the length of
    linkage, already attributed by Morgan to
    differences in the spatial orientation of the
    genes, offered the possibility of determining
    sequences of different genes in the linear
    dimension of the chromosome. I went home and
    spent most of the night (to the neglect of my
    undergraduate homework) in producing the first
    chromosome map, which included the sex-linked
    genes, y, w, v, m, and r, in the order and
    approximately the relative spacing that they
    still appear on the standard maps.

35
  • Sturtevant considered the outcome of crosses
    involving six different mutant alleles
  • All of which are known to be recessive and
    X-linked
  • Therefore, his genetic map contained only 5 genes
  • y, w, v, m and r

36
The Hypothesis
  • The distance between genes on a chromosome can be
    estimated from the proportion of recombinant
    offspring
  • This provides a way to map the order of genes
    along a chromosome

The Data
39
Interpreting the Data
  • In some dihybrid crosses, the percentage of
    nonparental (recombinant) offspring was rather
    low
  • For example, theres only 1 recombinant
    offspring in the crosses involving the y and w or
    w-e alleles
  • This suggests that these two genes are very close
    together
  • Other dihybrid crosses showed a higher percentage
    of nonparental offspring
  • For example, crosses between the v and m alleles
    produced 26.9 recombinant offspring
  • This suggests that these two genes are farther
    apart

40
  • To construct his map, Sturtevant assumed that the
    map distances would be more accurate among genes
    that are closely linked
  • Therefore, his map is based on the following
    distances
  • y w (1.0), w v (29.7), v r (3.0) and v m
    (26.9)
  • Sturtevant also considered other features of the
    data to deduce the order of genes
  • For example,
  • Percentage of crossovers between w and r was 33.7
  • Percentage of crossovers between w and v was 29.7
  • Percentage of crossovers between v and r was 3.0
  • Therefore, the gene order is w v r
  • Where v is closer to r than it is to w

41
  • Sturtevant collectively considered all these data
    and proposed the following genetic map
  • Sturtevant began at the y gene and mapped the
    genes from left to right

42
  • A close look at Sturtevants data reveals two
    points that do not agree very well with his
    genetic map
  • The y and m dihybrid cross yielded 37.5
    recombinants
  • But the map distance is 57.6
  • The w and m dihybrid cross yielded 45.2
    recombinants
  • But the map distance is 56.6
  • So whats up?
  • When the distance between two genes is large
  • The likelihood of multiple crossovers increases
  • This causes the observed number of recombinant
    offspring to underestimate the distance between
    the two genes

43
Trihybrid Crosses
  • Data from trihybrid crosses can also yield
    information about map distance and gene order
  • The following experiment outlines a common
    strategy for using trihybrid crosses to map genes
  • In this example, we will consider fruit flies
    that differ in body color, eye color and wing
    shape
  • b black body color
  • b gray body color
  • pr purple eye color
  • pr red eye color
  • vg vestigial wings
  • vg normal wings

44
  • Step 1 Cross two true-breeding strains that
    differ with regard to three alleles.

Male is homozygous wildtype for all three traits
Female is mutant for all three traits
  • The goal in this step is to obtain aF1
    individuals that are heterozygous for all three
    genes

45
  • Step 2 Perform a testcross by mating F1 female
    heterozygotes to male flies that are homozygous
    recessive for all three alleles
  • During gamete formation in the heterozygous
    female F1 flies, crossovers may produce new
    combinations of the 3 alleles

46
  • Step 3 Collect data for the F2 generation

47
  • Analysis of the F2 generation flies will allow us
    to map the three genes
  • The three genes exist as two alleles each
  • Therefore, there are 23 8 possible combinations
    of offspring
  • If the genes assorted independently, all eight
    combinations would occur in equal proportions
  • It is obvious that they are far from equal
  • Most of the time (therefore it is better to AVOID
    these rules), in the offspring of crosses
    involving linked genes,
  • Parental phenotypes occur most frequently
  • Double crossover phenotypes occur least
    frequently
  • Single crossover phenotypes occur with
    intermediate frequency

48
  • The combination of traits in the double crossover
    tells us which gene is in the middle
  • A double crossover separates the gene in the
    middle from the other two genes at either end
  • In the double crossover categories, the recessive
    purple eye color is separated from the other two
    recessive alleles
  • Thus, the gene for eye color lies between the
    genes for body color and wing shape

49
  • Step 4 Calculate the map distance between pairs
    of genes
  • To do this, one strategy is to regroup the data
    according to pairs of genes
  • From the parental generation, we know that the
    dominant alleles are linked, as are the recessive
    alleles
  • This allows us to group pairs of genes into
    parental and nonparental combinations
  • Parentals have a pair of dominant or a pair of
    recessive alleles
  • Nonparentals have one dominant and one recessive
    allele
  • The regrouped data will allow us to calculate the
    map distance between the two genes

50
  • The map distance between body color and eye color
    is
  • Map distance

52
  • The map distance between eye color and wing shape
    is

12.3 map units
53
  • Step 5 Construct the map
  • Based on the map unit calculation the body color
    and wing shape genes are farthest apart
  • The eye color gene is in the middle

54
  • To calculate map distance, we have gone through a
    method that involved the separation of data into
    pairs of genes (see step 4)
  • An alternative method does not require this
    manipulation
  • Rather, the trihybrid data is used directly
  • This method is described next

Double crossover, between b and pr, and between

0.003
56
  • To determine the map distance between the genes,
    we need to consider both single and double
    crossovers
  • To calculate the distance between b and pr
  • Map distance (0.058 0.003) X 100 6.1 mu
  • To calculate the distance between pr and vg
  • Map distance (0.120 0.003) X 100 12.3 mu
  • To calculate the distance between b and vg
  • The double crossover frequency needs to be
    multiplied by two
  • Because both crossovers are occurring between b
    and vg
  • Map distance (0.058 0.120 20.003) X 100
  • 18.4 mu

57
  • Alternatively, the distance between b and vg can
    be obtained by simply adding the map distances
    between b and pr, and between pr and vg
  • Map distance 6.1 12.3 18.4 mu
  • Note that in the first method (grouping in
    pairs), the distance between b and vg was found
    to be 17.8 mu.
  • This slightly lower value was a small
    underestimate because the first method does not
    consider the double crossovers in the calculation

58
Interference
  • The product rule allows us to predict the
    likelihood of a double crossover from the
    individual probabilities of each single crossover

P (single crossover between pr and vg)

  • The expected number of double crossover offspring
    is

7.5
59
Interference
  • Therefore, we would expect seven or eight
    offspring to be produced as a result of a double
    crossover
  • However, the observed number was only three!
  • Two with gray bodies, purple eyes, and normal
    sings
  • One with black body, red eyes, and vestigial
    wings
  • This lower-than-expected value is due to a common
    genetic phenomenon, termed positive interference
  • The first crossover decreases the probability
    that a second crossover will occur nearby

60
  • Interference (I) is expressed as
  • I 1 C
  • where C is the coefficient of coincidence
  • C
  • C

0.40
  • I 1 C 1 0.4
  • 0.6 or 60
  • This means that 60 of the expected number of
    crossovers did not occur

61
  • Since I is positive, this interference is
    positive interference
  • Rarely, the outcome of a testcross yields a
    negative value for interference
  • This suggests that a first crossover enhances the
    rate of a second crossover
  • The molecular mechanisms that cause interference
    are not completely understood
  • However, most organisms regulate the number of
    crossovers so that very few occur per chromosome

62
  • In mice, the genes associated with two nervous
    disorders, waltzer (w) and jittery (j) are
    located on the same chromosome 10cM apart. An
    unlimited number of wild-type heterozygous mice
    wj/w j are being maintained by a commercial
    firm (w is recessive resulting in the waltzer
    phenotype, j is recessive resulting in the

  • Let consider three different genes. The recessive
    allele b gives flies a black body while the
    dominant b allele gives brown. The recessive
    allele wx gives waxy wings while the dominant wx
    allele gives nonwaxy wings. The recessive allele
    cn gives cinnabar eyes while the dominant cn
    allele gives red eyes. A female heterozygous for
    the three genes is testcrossed. 1000 progeny are
    obtained as follows
  • Brown,nonwaxy,red 5 Black,waxy,cinnabar 6
  • Brown,waxy,cinnabar 69 Black,nonwaxy,red 67
