Definitions

  • NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS IN SOYBEAN FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention is in the field of agricultural technology, particularly marker assisted selection of soybean.
  • a mutation in a base in one DNA strand typically requires a complementary base change in the opposite strand.
  • the polymorphism, or change, between a wildtype and a mutant includes both strands of the DNA molecule. If a change allows the organism to be viable and fecund, any base can substitute for any other base at one or more nucleotide positions in a DNA sequence, or any length of DNA bases can be inserted or deleted. Mutations that are selectively neutral or provide an advantage in a particular environment may then proliferate within a population. Genetic markers represent (mark the location of) specific loci in the genome of a species or closely related species, and sampling of different genotypes at these marker loci reveals genetic variation.
  • the genetic variation at marker loci can then be described and applied to genetic studies, commercial breeding, diagnostics, cladistic analysis of variance, or genotyping of samples.
  • Genetic markers have the greatest utility when they are highly heritable, multi-allelic, and numerous. Most genetic markers are highly heritable because their alleles are determined by the nucleotide sequence of DNA, which is highly conserved from one generation to the next, and the detection of their alleles is unaffected by the natural environment. Markers have multiple alleles because, in the evolutionary process, rare, genetically-stable mutations in DNA sequences defining marker loci arose and were disseminated through the generations along with other existing alleles.

  • QTL include genes that control, to some degree, numerically representable phenotypic traits (disease resistance, crop yield, resistance to environmental extremes, etc.), that are distributed within a family of individuals as well as within a population of families of individuals.
  • An experimental paradigm has been developed to identify and analyze QTL. This paradigm involves crossing two inbred lines and genotyping multiple marker loci and evaluating one to several quantitative phenotypic traits among the progeny of the cross. QTL are then identified and ultimately selected for based on significant statistical associations between the genotypic values determined by genetic marker technology and the phenotypic variability among the segregating progeny. Unfortunately, complete sets of genetic markers are not available for a variety of important crops, making it difficult to quickly assess the genotype of any particular individual.
  • soybeans are a major cash crop which provide most of the world's protein and vegetable oils, complete sets of genetic markers which span the soybean genome are not available. Accordingly, there exists a need to develop genetic markers for genotyping, marker assisted selection, positional cloning of nucleic acids and the like, e.g., in soybean. This invention provides these and many other features.
  • Example technologies which may be used to detect the loci include allele-specific hybridization (ASH), the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), random-amplified polymo ⁇ hic DNA (RAPD), restriction- fragment-length polymo ⁇ hism (RFLP), single strand conformation polymo ⁇ hism (SSCP), allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (ASPCR), genetic-bit analysis (GBA), nick-translation PCR (TaqMan ® ), hybridization to solid phase arrays (e.g., very large scale immobilized polymer arrays (VLSIPS arrays)), and the like.

  • nucleotide polymo ⁇ hisms described here are used, e.g., for DNA-finge ⁇ rinting soybean varieties, genetic-linkage mapping of the soybean genome, marker association with specific genes or quantitative-trait loci (QTL) affecting phenotypic traits, marker-assisted selection for preferred genotypes in soybean breeding, positional cloning of genes from the soybean genome and other pu ⁇ oses that will be apparent upon complete review of this disclosure.
  • QTL quantitative-trait loci
  • DNA fmge ⁇ rinting is the application of multiple genetic markers to DNA extracted from an individual or pooled group of related individuals, such as an inbred line or variety, so that the cumulative marker allele profile provides a description of the variety's overall genotype. Comparisons of these marker allele profiles can be made among samples of different varieties, or among different samples of the same variety, and estimates can be made regarding the genetic relationships among these samples. These estimates can be obtained without knowing the pedigrees of the finge ⁇ rinted varieties.
  • DNA finge ⁇ rints are used to determine whether a soybean variety is described and used within guidelines established, e.g., by Plant Variety Protection and patent laws. Seed of one variety may be sold by two different vendors using different variety names, or a variety may have been genetically bred from another variety by repeated cycles of backcrossing and selection to the extent that the new variety was essentially derived from the original variety. In these situations, questions about ownership may need to be answered. DNA-finge ⁇ rint profiles can be obtained from each variety or seed source and compared. If done properly, the data will show with a high probability whether or not the different samples are genetically alike.
  • the polymo ⁇ hisms at the 63 polymo ⁇ hic loci described herein invention provide a basis for quickly and reliably comparing DNA-finge ⁇ rint profiles in soybean. These 63 loci are well distributed around the soybean genome and provide an adequate number of loci to make reasonable conclusions regarding variety or seed-source identities and relationships.
  • DNA finge ⁇ rinting is used by soybean breeders to identify diverse breeding parents, to create novel recombinant populations, to better understand the structure of the soybean genome, and to better understand the history of pedigree breeding.
  • the 63 example loci herein provide sufficient polymo ⁇ hisms to estimate genetic relationships among soybean varieties.
  • DNA finge ⁇ rinting is used by soybean seed companies to estimate genetic purity of a seedlot for quality control and labeling of their product, and to identify the variety source of any contamination found among finge ⁇ rinted samples. These 63 loci provide sufficient polymo ⁇ hisms to estimate genetic purity within a seedlot. Genetic Mapping of the Soybean Genome
  • Genetic mapping is done by finding polymo ⁇ hic markers that are genetically linked to each other (in linkage groups) or linked to genes or QTL affecting phenotypic traits of interest within a segregating population.
  • the alignment of markers into linkage groups is useful as a reference for future use of the markers and for accurately positioning genes or QTL relative to the markers.
  • the nucleotide polymo ⁇ hisms described here for 63 exemplar loci provide a means to utilize these loci in genetic mapping studies in soybean. Many of these loci have multiple sub-loci and haplotypes across the sub-loci. Each haplotype provides a different allele composition within a locus, thereby expanding the utility of these marker loci to more soybean mapping studies than possible with only two alleles per locus.
  • loci php05219A, php07659A, phpl0355B, and pK069A were found to cluster around a resistance QTL on group G; the loci pT155A, pBLT24A, and pBLT65A were clustered around a resistance QTL on group A; and the locus php02301A was near a resistance QTL on group M.
  • These three QTL provide resistance to soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines lchinohe) (See also, Webb et al.
  • Theor Appl Genet 91:574-581 The loci php02636A on group C, php08584A on group S, and pK079A on group L26 were all linked to additional QTL for resistance to soybean cyst nematode.
  • the locus pB032B on group J was near Rbs 3 for resistance to brown stem rot.
  • the loci pK418A and pA280A on group N were near Rps,
  • the locus pR045A on group F was linked to Rps 3
  • the loci pA378A and pL183A on group G were near Rps 4
  • the locus pT005A on group G was near Rps 5 , all providing resistance to phytophthora rot.
  • MAS marker-assisted selection
  • a nucleic acid corresponding to the marker nucleic acid is detected in a biological sample from a plant to be selected. This detection can take the form of hybridization of a probe nucleic acid to a marker, e.g., using allele-specific hybridization, Southern analysis, northern analysis, in situ hybridization, hybridization of primers followed by PCR amplification of a region of the marker or the like. A variety of procedures for detecting markers are described herein. After the presence (or absence) of a particular marker in the biological sample is verified, the plant is selected, i.e., used to make progeny plants by selective breeding.
  • Nucleotide polymo ⁇ hisms were developed at markers near numerous resistance loci in soybean that are effective against soybean cyst nematode, Phytophthora sojae (phytophthora rot), and Phialophora gregata (brown stem rot). These are among the most damaging pathogens to soybeans in North America.
  • Use of the nucleotide polymo ⁇ hisms described here and genetically-linked nucleotides as genetic markers for disease resistance loci is an effective method of selecting resistant varieties in breeding programs. When a population is segregating for multiple loci affecting multiple diseases, the efficiency of MAS compared to phenotypic screening becomes even greater because all the loci can be processed in the lab together from a single sample of DNA. Another advantage over field evaluations for disease reaction is that MAS can be done at any time of year regardless of the growing season. Moreover, environmental effects are irrelevant to marker-assisted selection.
  • Backcross breeding is the process of crossing a progeny back to one of its parents. Backcrossing is usually done for the pu ⁇ ose of introgressing one or a. few loci from a donor parent into an otherwise desirable genetic background from the recurrent parent. The more cycles of backcrossing that is done, the greater the genetic contribution of the recurrent parent to the resulting variety. This is often necessary, because resistant plants may be otherwise undesirable, i.e., due to low yield, low fecundity, or the like.
  • strains which are the result of intensive breeding programs may have excellent yield, fecundity or the like, merely being deficient in one desired trait such as resistance to a particular pathogen.
  • the 63 marker loci described in the Examples below are distributed around the soybean genome and are used to select for the recurrent-parent genotype.
  • MAS for the recurrent-parent genotype can be combined with MAS for the disease resistance loci using these markers. Accordingly, it is possible to use the markers to introduce disease resistance QTL into plant varieties having an otherwise desirable genetic background using the markers of the invention for selection of the QTL and for selection of the otherwise desirable background.
  • Positional Cloning in Soybean Positional gene cloning uses the proximity of a mapped gene and its linked markers to physically define a cloned chromosomal fragment that contains a desired gene. If two or more markers flanking the gene are physically close to each other, they may hybridize to the same DNA fragment, thereby identifying a clone on which the gene is located. If flanking markers are more distant from each other, a fragment containing the gene may be identified by constructing a contig of overlapping clones.
  • a marker is ideally locus-specific to reliably identify a clone from the targeted chromosomal region.
  • the soybean genome is highly duplicated (Shoemaker et al (1996) (Glycine subgenus soja) Genetics 144:329-338, but each nucleotide polymo ⁇ hism and its PCR primers described here is specific to a single locus in the soybean genome and therefore correctly identifies soybean clones that hybridize to a corresponding probe DNA sequence corresponding to a particular target genomic location.
  • Some of these marker loci are closely linked to agronomically important genes, such as genes for resistance to soybean cyst nematode and fungal pathogens, and are used as locus-specific reference points in positional cloning efforts for these genes.
  • DNA sequences which code for necessary proteins are well conserved across a species, there are regions of DNA which are non-coding or code for portions of proteins which do not have critical functions and therefore, absolute conservation of nucleic acid sequence is not strongly selected for.

  • “Stringent hybridization conditions” in the context of nucleic acid hybridization are sequence dependent and are different under different environmental parameters. An extensive guide to the hybridization of nucleic acids is found in Tijssen (1993), id. Generally, stringent conditions are selected to be about 5° C lower than the thermal melting point (T m ) for the specific sequence at a defined ionic strength and pH. The T m is the temperature
  • T d is used to define the temperature at which at least half of the probe dissociates from a perfectly matched target nucleic acid.
  • G-C base pairs in a duplex are estimated to contribute about 3°C to the T m
  • A-T base pairs are estimated to contribute about 2°C, up to a theoretical maximum of about 80-100°C.
  • An example of stringent hybridization conditions for hybridization of complementary nucleic acids that have more than 100 complementary residues on a filter in a Southern or northern blot is 50% formalin with 1 mg of heparin at 42°C, with the hybridization being carried out overnight.
  • An example of stringent wash conditions for a Southern blot of such nucleic acids is a 0.2x SSC wash at 65 °C for 15 minutes (see, Sambrook, supra for a description of SSC buffer). Often the high stringency wash is preceded by a low stringency wash to remove background probe signal.
  • An example low stringency wash is 2x SSC at 40°C for 15 minutes.
  • a signal to noise ratio of 2x (or higher) than that observed for an unrelated probe in the particular hybridization assay indicates detection of a specific hybridization.

  • a marker nucleic acid e.g., a genomic nucleic acid, an amplicon, or the like
  • hybridization technology for detecting marker nucleic acids is allele-specific hybridization, or "ASH. " This technology is based on the stable annealing of a short, single-stranded oligonucleotide probe to a single-stranded target nucleic acid only when base pairing is completely complementary. The hybridization can then be detected from a radioactive or non-radioactive label on the probe (methods of labeling probes and other nucleic acids are set forth in detail below).
  • ASH markers are polymo ⁇ hic when their base composition at one or a few nucleotide positions in a segment of DNA is different among different genotypes.
  • two or more different ASH probes are designed to have identical DNA sequences except at the polymo ⁇ hic nucleotide(s).
  • Each probe will have exact homology with one allele sequence so that the complement of probes can distinguish all the alternative allele sequences.
  • Each probe is hybridized against the target DNA. With appropriate probe design and stringency conditions, a single-base mismatch between the probe and target DNA will prevent hybridization and the unbound probe will wash away.
  • ASH markers are used as dominant markers where the presence or absence of only one allele is determined from hybridization or lack of hybridization by only one probe. The alternative allele may be inferred from the lack of hybridization.
  • Heterogeneous target nucleic acids i.e., chromosomal DNA from a multiallelic plant
  • ASH probes designed from the possible degenerate DNA sequences coding for a known amino acid sequence, could be used to identify clones containing the rabbit ⁇ -globin DNA that coded for that protein (Wallace et al. (1981) Nuclei Acids Res 9:879-894). They also showed that the only probe that hybridized to the clones had exact homology to the clone, whereas three probes that did not hybridize to the clones had a single base-pair mismatch with the target DNA. ASH markers have been developed to diagnose susceptibility to human diseases caused by point mutations in DNA sequence.
  • Examples are for the /3 s -globin allele that can cause sickle-cell anemia (Conner et al. (1983) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 80:278-282), the /3°-thalassemia allele that can cause /3-thalassemia (Pirastu et al. (1983) New England J Med 309:284-287), the /3,-antitrypsin allele that can cause liver cirrhosis and pulmonary emphysema (Kidd (1983) Nature 304:230-234), the HLA-DR haplotypes associated with immune response (Angelini et al.
  • ASH markers have also been developed to identify strains of fungi resistant to the fungicide benzimidazole because of specific point mutations in the j8-tubulin gene in Venturia inaequalis (Koenraadt and Jones (1992) Phytopathology 82: 1354-1358 and Rhynchosporium secalis (Wheeler et al. (1995) Pestic Sci 43:201-209).
  • An ASH probe is designed to form a stable duplex with a nucleic acid target only when base pairing is completely complementary. One or more base-pair mismatches between the probe and target prevents stable hybridization. This holds true for numerous variations of the process.
  • the probe and target molecules are optionally either RNA or denatured DNA; the target molecule(s) is/are any length of nucleotides beyond the sequence that is complementary to the probe; the probe is designed to hybridize with either strand of a DNA target; the probe ranges in size to conform to variously stringent hybridization conditions, etc.
  • PCR polymerase chain reaction
  • ASH data were obtained by amplifying nucleic acid fragments (amplicons) from genomic DNA using PCR, transferring the amplicon target DNA to a membrane in a dot-blot format, hybridizing a labeled oligonucleotide probe to the amplicon target, and observing the hybridization dots by autoradiography.

  • a target nucleic acid e.g., a genomic nucleic acid, or an amplicon
  • Either the probe, or the target, or both, can be labeled, typically with a fluorophore. Where the target is labeled, hybridization is detected by detecting bound fluorescence. Where the probe is labeled, hybridization is typically detected by quenching of the label. Where both the probe and the target are labeled, detection of hybridization is typically performed by monitoring a color shift resulting from proximity of the two bound labels.

  • Photolysis through a photolithogaphic mask is used selectively to expose functional groups which are then ready to react with incoming 5'-photoprotected nucleoside phosphoramidites.
  • the phosphoramidites react only with those sites which are illuminated (and thus exposed by removal of the photolabile blocking group).
  • the phosphoramidites only add to those areas selectively exposed from the preceding step. These steps are repeated until the desired array of sequences have been synthesized on the solid surface.
  • Combinatorial synthesis of different oligonucleotide analogues at different locations on the array is determined by the pattern of illumination during synthesis and the order of addition of coupling reagents.
  • Monitoring of hybridization of target nucleic acids to the array is typically performed with fluorescence microscopes or laser scanning microscopes.
  • one of skill is also able to order custom-made arrays and array- reading devices from manufacturers specializing in array manufacture. For example, Affymetrix Co ⁇ . in Santa Clara CA manufactures DNA VLSIPTM arrays.
  • probe design is influenced by the intended application. For example, where several allele-specific probe-target interactions are to be detected in a single assay, e.g., on a single DNA chip, it is desirable to have similar melting temperatures for all of the probes. Accordingly, the length of the probes are adjusted so that the melting temperatures for all of the probes on the array are closely similar (it will be appreciated that different lengths for different probes may be needed to achieve a particular T m where different probes have different GC contents). Although melting temperature is a primary consideration in probe design, other factors are optionally used to further adjust probe construction.

To achieve linear amplification of the nucleic acid, a single pair of oligonucleotides which hybridize to adjoining areas of the target sequence are employed: the oligonucleotides are ligated, denatured from the template and the reaction is repeated. To achieve exponential amplification of the target nucleic acid two pairs of oligonucleotides (or more) are used, each pair hybridizing to complementary sequences on e.g. , a double-stranded target polynucleotide.

Description

NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS IN SOYBEAN FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention is in the field of agricultural technology, particularly marker assisted selection of soybean.
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation-in-part of USSN 60/068, 185 "NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS IN SOYBEAN" filed December 19, 1997 by Jessen et al. , which is incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Genetic mutations are antecedent to evolution and genetic diversity. Along with mutations that change the expression of genes, and consequently the function and structure of organisms, comparative sequencing within a species reveals a plethora of neutral mutations in non-coding regions of genomic DNA. Whether or not mutations affect organisms, they constitute diversity in the nucleotide sequence - and if known, can be exploited as genetic markers on chromosomes.
To be genetically stable, a mutation in a base in one DNA strand typically requires a complementary base change in the opposite strand. Thus, the polymorphism, or change, between a wildtype and a mutant includes both strands of the DNA molecule. If a change allows the organism to be viable and fecund, any base can substitute for any other base at one or more nucleotide positions in a DNA sequence, or any length of DNA bases can be inserted or deleted. Mutations that are selectively neutral or provide an advantage in a particular environment may then proliferate within a population. Genetic markers represent (mark the location of) specific loci in the genome of a species or closely related species, and sampling of different genotypes at these marker loci reveals genetic variation. The genetic variation at marker loci can then be described and applied to genetic studies, commercial breeding, diagnostics, cladistic analysis of variance, or genotyping of samples. Genetic markers have the greatest utility when they are highly heritable, multi-allelic, and numerous. Most genetic markers are highly heritable because their alleles are determined by the nucleotide sequence of DNA, which is highly conserved from one generation to the next, and the detection of their alleles is unaffected by the natural environment. Markers have multiple alleles because, in the evolutionary process, rare, genetically-stable mutations in DNA sequences defining marker loci arose and were disseminated through the generations along with other existing alleles. The highly conserved nature of DNA combined with the rare occurrence of stable mutations allows genetic markers to be both predictable and discerning of different genotypes. The repertoire of genetic-marker technologies today allows multiple technologies to be used simultaneously in the same project. The invention of each new genetic-marker technology and each new DNA polymoφhism adds additional utility to genetic markers. Many genetic-marker technologies exist— including restriction-fragment-length polymoφhism (RFLP) Bostein et al (1980) Am J Hum Genet 32:314-331; single strand conformation polymoφhism (SSCP) Fischer et al. (1983) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 80: 1579-1583, Orita et al. (1989) Genomics 5:874-879; amplified fragment-length polymoφhism (AFLP) Vos et al.

(1989) Science 245: 1434-1435; genetic-bit analysis (GBA) Nikiforov et al (1994) Nucleic Acids Res 22:4167-4175; allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (ASPCR) Gibbs et al.

(1993) Nucleic Acids Res 21-3161-3166; and allele-specific hybridization (ASH) Wallace et al. (1979) Nucleic Acids Res 6:3543-3557, (Sheldon et al. (1993) Clinical Chemistry 39(4):718-719) among others- with each technology having its own particular basis for detecting polymoφhisms in DNA sequence. The development of polymoφhic genetic markers has made it possible for quantitative and molecular geneticists to investigate what Edwards, et al., in Genetics 115: 113 (1987) referred to as "quantitative trait loci" (QTL), as well as their numbers, magnitudes and distributions. QTL include genes that control, to some degree, numerically representable phenotypic traits (disease resistance, crop yield, resistance to environmental extremes, etc.), that are distributed within a family of individuals as well as within a population of families of individuals. An experimental paradigm has been developed to identify and analyze QTL. This paradigm involves crossing two inbred lines and genotyping multiple marker loci and evaluating one to several quantitative phenotypic traits among the progeny of the cross. QTL are then identified and ultimately selected for based on significant statistical associations between the genotypic values determined by genetic marker technology and the phenotypic variability among the segregating progeny. Unfortunately, complete sets of genetic markers are not available for a variety of important crops, making it difficult to quickly assess the genotype of any particular individual. For example, although soybeans are a major cash crop which provide most of the world's protein and vegetable oils, complete sets of genetic markers which span the soybean genome are not available. Accordingly, there exists a need to develop genetic markers for genotyping, marker assisted selection, positional cloning of nucleic acids and the like, e.g., in soybean. This invention provides these and many other features.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION New sequence polymoφhisms at 63 different loci are described. Identification of these alleles provides compositions and methods for rapidly determining the complete genotype of a soybean plant. This ability to determine, accurately and quickly, the genotype of a soybean plant provides for improved methods of marker assisted selection in plant breeding and in analysis of transgenic soybean cells and plants. Example technologies which may be used to detect the loci include allele-specific hybridization (ASH), the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), random-amplified polymoφhic DNA (RAPD), restriction- fragment-length polymoφhism (RFLP), single strand conformation polymoφhism (SSCP), allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (ASPCR), genetic-bit analysis (GBA), nick-translation PCR (TaqMan®), hybridization to solid phase arrays (e.g., very large scale immobilized polymer arrays (VLSIPS arrays)), and the like.
In one embodiment, methods of detecting one or more genetic nucleotide polymoφhism in a biological sample from a soybean plant are provided by hybridizing a probe nucleic acid to one of the loci described herein. For example, a biological sample derived from a soybean plant is provided, and a probe nucleic acid is hybridized to a target nucleic acid including a nucleotide polymoφhism from the locus. Preferred loci include pA060A, pA077A, pA086A, pA169A, pA280A, pA378A, pA505A, pA519A, pA588A, pA947B, pB032A, pB032B, pB039A, pBLT24A, pBLT65A, php02265A, php02301A, php02361A, php02370C, php02387A, ρhp02388A, php02393A, php02396A, php02636A, php03522A, php05219A, php05233A, php05278A, php05342A, php07659A, php08584A, phpl2105A, php02340B, php05264A, phpl0355B, pK069A, pK079A, pK401A, pK418A, pK644B, pL058A, pL183A, pR045A, pR153A, pT005A, pT155A, pA059A, pA064A, pBLT15A, pA593A, pA882A, p8320E, SOYBPSP, php02329A, php02371A, pA343A, pA748B, php05290A, pA858A, php02376A, pG17.3, pB132A, phpl0078A. Particularly preferred "php" loci include php02265A, php02301A, php02361A, php02370C, php02387A, php02388A, php02393A, php02396A, php02636A, php03522A, php05219A, php05233A, php05278A, php05342A, php07659A, php08584A, phpl2105A, php02340B, php05264A, phpl0355B php02329A, php02371A, php05290A, php02376A, and phpl0078A. In certain embodiments where more than one loci are detected, at least one of the detected loci will typically be a locus with a "php" designation. One newly discovered advantage for all of the loci noted above is that probes which specifically hybridize to the selected locus do not specifically hybridize to additional loci in the soybean genome because the loci are all unique in the soybean genome. In preferred aspects, the loci and included polymoφhic nucleotides are in linkage disequilibrium with a Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) such as resistance to soybean cyst nematode, brown stem rot, phytopthora rot or the like. Accordingly, the presence or absence of the detected locus corresponds to the presence or absence of a particular QTL. A variety of probe nucleic acids which hybridize to the loci are provided by the invention. The probes include the amplicons, PCR primers, and the like, described herein, which are used to identify and detect the loci.
Hybridization of a probe to a locus is detected to confirm the presence of the locus and typically to determine whether a particular polymoφhic nucleotide is present at the locus. This detection is performed directly or indirectly. Direct detection, methods of detecting hybridization include Southern analysis, northern analysis, array-dependent nucleic acid hybridization on a nucleic acid polymer array, in situ hybridization, or other methods which directly monitor the hybridization. Indirect detection includes, e.g., detection of an amplification product which is dependent on hybridization of the probe to the target nucleic acid. For example, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or the ligase chain reaction (LCR) are used to monitor hybridization, e.g., by detecting formation of an amplicon which is synthesized only if a probe (e.g., a PCR primer) hybridizes to the target. Similarly, the probe or target is optionally amplified prior to detection. Preferred amplification methods include PCR, LCR, and cloning of the target nucleic acid.
In several embodiments, it will be desirable to detect more than one locus. For example, detection of multiple loci from a biological sample provide a way of providing an overall genotype of the biological sample. Thus, in one embodiment, a second probe nucleic acid is hybridized to a second target nucleic acid linked to a second nucleotide polymoφhism in a second locus selected from the second group of loci consisting of the loci noted above. Similarly, a plurality of probes (a third, fourth, fifth... nth probe) are hybridized to a plurality (a third, fourth, fifth... nth) polymoφhic nucleotide in one of the loci noted above. In one embodiment, a majority of the noted loci are detected. In an another preferred embodiment, all of the loci noted above are detected, thereby providing a comprehensive genotype. Similarly, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, or any intermediate percentage thereof of the loci are detected in alternate embodiments. The methods are applicable to detection of loci and genotyping in a variety of biological samples, including a soybean plant, a soybean plant extract, an isolated soybean plant tissue, an isolated plant tissue extract, a soybean plant cell culture, a soybean plant cell culture extract, a recombinant cell comprising a nucleic acid derived from a soybean plant, a soybean plant seed, and an extract of a recombinant cell comprising a nucleic acid derived from a soybean plant.
The target nucleic acid which is detected can include the first polymoφhic nucleotide, or it may be proximal to the polymoφhic nucleotide. In typical embodiments, the target nucleic acid includes polymoφhic nucleotide to be detected. However, depending on how the target nucleic acid is detected, it can also be convenient to detect nucleotides proximal to the polymoφhic nucleotide. For example, when LCR is used, the presence or absence of a polymoφhic nucleotide is detected by amplifying nucleotide regions flanking the polymoφhic nucleotide.
In one aspect, the present invention includes marker-assisted selection of soybean plants, e.g., by detecting any of the loci noted above and selecting a plant based upon the presence or absence of one or more desired polymoφhic nucleotide.
In another aspect, nucleic acids corresponding to nucleotides proximal to or including the marker nucleic acids are cloned. In a particularly preferred aspect, a nucleic acid flanked by two nucleic acid loci is cloned. Typically, this cloned nucleic acid includes a coding sequence. The cloned nucleic acid is optionally transduced into cells or plants, e.g., to make transgenic plants (e.g., soybean) expressing the coding sequence.
In one aspect, nucleotide polymoφhisms proximal to the selected loci are identified and mapped, e.g., by genetic mapping or nucleotide sequencing of nucleic acid regions genetically linked to the selected locus from genetically diverse strains of soybean. The identification of these additional polymoφhisms provides additional marker regions which are used to identify the source of a soybean nucleic acid.
Similar to the detection methods above, nucleotide polymoφhisms are also detected by separating nucleic acids having the polymoφhisms by size and or charge, thereby separating the nucleic acids. For example, single-strand conformation polymoφhism can be performed on two or more nucleic acids on a polyacrylamide gel. Amplification methods and compositions for detecting nucleic acids linked to loci are also provided. Typical amplification methods of the present invention include PCR, asymmetric PCR, and LCR. For example, methods of amplifying a nucleic acid with a first primer nucleic acid to a template nucleic acid and amplifying a portion of the template nucleic acid with a template-dependent polymerase enzyme or a ligase enzyme are provided. The primer hybridizes under stringent conditions to a locus nucleic acid from one of the loci described above. Typical amplification primer lengths are less than 100 nucleotides, although they may be longer or shorter, e.g., between about 10 and 50 nucleotides, typically between about 15 and 25 nucleotides, or as long as or longer than 100-200 nucleotides, or the like. Where the primer is a PCR primer, the primer provides a polymerase extendible substrate and the primer-dependent polymerase extends the primer. In one aspect, the primer is an allele-specific primer. In typical LCR amplification methods, the first primer hybridizes adjacent to a second primer on the template nucleic acid and the first and second primers are ligated with a ligase enzyme, thereby amplifying the portion of the template hybridized to the first and second primers. In PCR methods, the method includes hybridizing a second primer to the template, wherein the first and second primer hybridize to complementary strands of the template nucleic acid.
Amplification mixtures for practicing the amplification methods are also provided. For example, a PCR reaction mixture having, e.g., a polymerase enzyme, deoxy nucleotides, a template nucleic acid comprising a polymoφhic nucleotide which hybridizes under stringent conditions to a locus as above, and primers which specifically hybridize to the template nucleic acid are also provided. Primers include the PCR primers described herein, and additional primers selected to amplify portions of the amplicons described herein. As noted, the primers are optionally allele-specific primers to facilitate quantitative PCR.
PCR amplicons are also provided, including nucleic acids having a polymoφhic nucleotide. The amplicon hybridizes under stringent conditions to a locus selected from a group of loci consisting of those set forth above. Exemplar amplicons are described herein. Particularly preferred amplicons include phpl l l38 and php 11627. A variety of additional compositions are also provided by the present invention. One class of compositions has a first recombinant nucleic acid which differentially hybridizes under allele-specific hybridization conditions to a first allele from a locus in the soybean genome selected from the above loci, where the first recombinant nucleic acid shows decreased hybridization affinity for a second allele from the selected locus. The composition optionally includes one or more additional recombinant nucleic acids (i.e., additional probes) which differentially hybridize under allele-specific hybridization conditions to a second allele from a selected locus, wherein the second nucleic acid shows decreased hybridization affinity for the first allele from the selected locus. For example, multi-color hybridization nucleic acid probe hybridization techniques such as comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) can be used to detect different alleles on different chromosomes.
In another aspect, a composition including a recombinant nucleic acid which specifically hybridizes to a first allele-specific probe and a second allele-specific probe is provided. The recombinant nucleic acid can be a probe, target nucleic acid, chromosomal nucleic acid, recombinant nucleic acid or the like. The first and second allele-specific probes hybridize under allele-specific hybridization conditions to a first haplotype of a locus in the soybean genome noted above. The composition optionally comprises additional materials such as allele-specific probes for the detection of the nucleic acid, or the like. Sets of nucleic acid probes are also provided, including sets of nucleic acid probes having a plurality of probe nucleic acids which specifically hybridize to a plurality of target nucleic acids which hybridize under stringent conditions to a plurality of the loci noted above. The sets may be in any of a variety of physical arrangements, including arrays, containers, or the like. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the set is in kit form, i.e., having the set of nucleic acids, and optionally comprising one or more additional component such as a container, instructional materials, one or more control target nucleic acids, and recombinant cells comprising one or more target nucleic acids. Transgenic plants are provided. In particular, a transgenic plant having a recombinant nucleic acid which hybridizes under stringent conditions to a target nucleic acid is provided. The target nucleic acid is genetically linked to (and preferably comprises) a nucleotide polymoφhism from a locus selected from the group of loci noted above. In a preferred embodiment, the recombinant nucleic acid comprises a coding sequence encoded by a gene in linkage disequilibrium with a Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL). Example QTL include a QTL for resistance to soybean cyst nematode, a QTL for resistance to brown stem rot, and a QTL for resistance to phytopthora rot.
Definitions A "polymoφhism" is a change or difference between two related nucleic acids. A "nucleotide polymoφhism" refers to a nucleotide which is different in one sequence when compared to a related sequence when the two nucleic acids are aligned for maximal correspondence. A "genetic nucleotide polymoφhism" refers to a nucleotide which is different in one sequence when compared to a related sequence when the two nucleic acids are aligned for maximal correspondence, where the two nucleic acids are genetically related, i.e., homologous, e.g., where the nucleic acids are isolated from different strains of a soybean plant, or from different alleles of a single strain, or the like.
A "biological sample" is a portion of material isolated from a biological source such as a plant, isolated plant tissue, or plant cell, or a portion of material made from such a source such as a cell extract or the like.
A "probe nucleic acid" is an RNA or DNA or analogue thereof. The probe may be of any length. Typical probes include PCR primers, PCR amplicons, cloned genomic nucleic acids encoding a genetic locus of interest, and the like. "Marker assisted selection" refers to the process of selecting a desired trait or desired traits in a plant or plants by detecting one or more nucleic acids from the plant, where the nucleic acid is associated with the desired trait. A "locus" is a nucleic acid region where a polymoφhic nucleic acid resides.
A "genetic marker" is a region on a genomic nucleic acid mapped by a marker nucleic acid. A "marker nucleic acid" is a nucleic acid which is an indicator for the presence of a marker locus. The marker can be either a probe nucleic acid which identifies a target nucleic acid genetically linked to the locus, or a sequence hybridized by the probe, i.e., a genomic nucleic acid linked to the locus. Typically, a probe will be used to hybridize to or amplify the locus. Example markers include isolated nucleic acids from the locus, cloned nucleic acids comprising the locus, PCR primers for amplifying the locus, and the like.
Two nucleic acid sequences are "genetically linked" when the sequences are in linkage disequilibrium.
A "vector" is a carrier composition which assists in transducing, transforming or infecting a cell with a nucleic acid, thereby causing the cell to express vector associated nucleic acids and, optionally, proteins other than those native to the cell, or in a manner not native to the cell. The term vector includes nucleic acid (ordinarily RNA or DNA) to be expressed by the cell (a "vector nucleic acid"). A vector optionally includes materials to aid in achieving entry of the nucleic acid into the cell, such as a retroviral particle, liposome, protein coating or the like. A "promoter" is an array of nucleic acid control sequences which directs transcription of a nucleic acid. As used herein, a promoter includes necessary nucleic acid sequences near the start site of transcription, such as, in the case of a polymerase II type promoter, a TATA element. A promoter also optionally includes distal enhancer or repressor elements which can be located as much as several thousand base pairs from the start site of transcription. A "constitutive" promoter is a promoter which is active in a selected organism under most environmental and developmental conditions. An "inducible" promoter is a promoter which is under environmental or developmental regulation in a selected organism.
The terms "isolated" or "biologically pure" refer to material which is substantially or essentially free from components which normally accompany it as found in its native state. DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THE INVENTION The present invention resides in part in the identification of new marker loci for soybean plants. The loci include polymoφhic nucelotides which vary depending . on the particular strain of soybean considered. These loci are used in plant breeding projects, e.g., for marker-assisted selection, for positional cloning of linked nucleic acid regions of soybean chromosomal nucleic acids, and the like. Because the sequences of the loci and surrounding regions are provided, it is possible to easily select appropriate probes for detection of particular polymoφhic nucleotides, e.g., by allele-specific hybridization, PCR amplification, or the like. The polymoφhic nucleotides are detected directly, or by detecting nucleic acids in linkage disequilibrium with the loci.
The described loci which are prefixed by "php" were previously completely unknown, with no information being publicly available regarding the loci. Some of the other loci (those not preface by "php") were previously identified by binding to RFLP probes; however, no sequence information regarding the loci was available and it was, therefore, not possible to design probes which hybridize specifically to polymoφhic nucleotides. The locus SOYBPSP was previously sequenced in an intron of a gene, but no polymoφhism was previously identified at the locus. Clones comprising loci not prefaced by "php" i.e., comprising publicly available RFLP probes are publicly available from Biogenetic Services, Inc. (Brookings SD) and PE AgGen, Inc. (formerly Linkage Genetics) (Salt Lake City, UT). Uses for Nucleotide Polvmoφhisms
The nucleotide polymoφhisms described here are used, e.g., for DNA-fingeφrinting soybean varieties, genetic-linkage mapping of the soybean genome, marker association with specific genes or quantitative-trait loci (QTL) affecting phenotypic traits, marker-assisted selection for preferred genotypes in soybean breeding, positional cloning of genes from the soybean genome and other puφoses that will be apparent upon complete review of this disclosure. DNA Fingerprinting
DNA fmgeφrinting is the application of multiple genetic markers to DNA extracted from an individual or pooled group of related individuals, such as an inbred line or variety, so that the cumulative marker allele profile provides a description of the variety's overall genotype. Comparisons of these marker allele profiles can be made among samples of different varieties, or among different samples of the same variety, and estimates can be made regarding the genetic relationships among these samples. These estimates can be obtained without knowing the pedigrees of the fingeφrinted varieties.
DNA fingeφrints are used to determine whether a soybean variety is described and used within guidelines established, e.g., by Plant Variety Protection and patent laws. Seed of one variety may be sold by two different vendors using different variety names, or a variety may have been genetically bred from another variety by repeated cycles of backcrossing and selection to the extent that the new variety was essentially derived from the original variety. In these situations, questions about ownership may need to be answered. DNA-fingeφrint profiles can be obtained from each variety or seed source and compared. If done properly, the data will show with a high probability whether or not the different samples are genetically alike. The polymoφhisms at the 63 polymoφhic loci described herein invention provide a basis for quickly and reliably comparing DNA-fingeφrint profiles in soybean. These 63 loci are well distributed around the soybean genome and provide an adequate number of loci to make reasonable conclusions regarding variety or seed-source identities and relationships.
DNA fingeφrinting is used by soybean breeders to identify diverse breeding parents, to create novel recombinant populations, to better understand the structure of the soybean genome, and to better understand the history of pedigree breeding. The 63 example loci herein provide sufficient polymoφhisms to estimate genetic relationships among soybean varieties.
DNA fingeφrinting is used by soybean seed companies to estimate genetic purity of a seedlot for quality control and labeling of their product, and to identify the variety source of any contamination found among fingeφrinted samples. These 63 loci provide sufficient polymoφhisms to estimate genetic purity within a seedlot. Genetic Mapping of the Soybean Genome
Genetic mapping is done by finding polymoφhic markers that are genetically linked to each other (in linkage groups) or linked to genes or QTL affecting phenotypic traits of interest within a segregating population. The alignment of markers into linkage groups is useful as a reference for future use of the markers and for accurately positioning genes or QTL relative to the markers. The nucleotide polymoφhisms described here for 63 exemplar loci provide a means to utilize these loci in genetic mapping studies in soybean. Many of these loci have multiple sub-loci and haplotypes across the sub-loci. Each haplotype provides a different allele composition within a locus, thereby expanding the utility of these marker loci to more soybean mapping studies than possible with only two alleles per locus. Many of these 63 loci were intentionally selected for polymoφhism development because they were widely dispersed among soybean genetic linkage groups and would therefore collectively maximize their utility for mapping the soybean genome. Because each of these 63 loci was designed to be a discrete individual locus, these loci cannot be confused with duplicate loci having similar sequence elsewhere in the genome. They therefore are excellent reference loci on any soybean genetic map and can be used to reliably align the same linkage groups from different maps.
Many of these marker loci were selected to develop additional nucleotide polymoφhisms because they were found to be genetically linked to important QTL for disease resistance. The loci php05219A, php07659A, phpl0355B, and pK069A were found to cluster around a resistance QTL on group G; the loci pT155A, pBLT24A, and pBLT65A were clustered around a resistance QTL on group A; and the locus php02301A was near a resistance QTL on group M. These three QTL provide resistance to soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines lchinohe) (See also, Webb et al. (1995) Theor Appl Genet 91:574-581). The loci php02636A on group C, php08584A on group S, and pK079A on group L26 were all linked to additional QTL for resistance to soybean cyst nematode. The locus pB032B on group J was near Rbs3 for resistance to brown stem rot. The loci pK418A and pA280A on group N were near Rps,, the locus pR045A on group F was linked to Rps3, the loci pA378A and pL183A on group G were near Rps4, and the locus pT005A on group G was near Rps5, all providing resistance to phytophthora rot. Marker-Assisted Selection in Soybean Improvement
After genes or a QTL and a marker or markers are mapped together and found to be in linkage disequilibrium, it is possible to use those markers to select for the desired alleles of those genes or QTL - a process called marker-assisted selection (MAS). In brief, a nucleic acid corresponding to the marker nucleic acid is detected in a biological sample from a plant to be selected. This detection can take the form of hybridization of a probe nucleic acid to a marker, e.g., using allele-specific hybridization, Southern analysis, northern analysis, in situ hybridization, hybridization of primers followed by PCR amplification of a region of the marker or the like. A variety of procedures for detecting markers are described herein. After the presence (or absence) of a particular marker in the biological sample is verified, the plant is selected, i.e., used to make progeny plants by selective breeding.
Nucleotide polymoφhisms were developed at markers near numerous resistance loci in soybean that are effective against soybean cyst nematode, Phytophthora sojae (phytophthora rot), and Phialophora gregata (brown stem rot). These are among the most damaging pathogens to soybeans in North America.
Soybean breeders need to combine disease resistance loci with genes for high yield and other desirable traits to develop improved soybean varieties. Disease screening for large numbers of samples can be expensive, time consuming, and unreliable. Use of the nucleotide polymoφhisms described here and genetically-linked nucleotides as genetic markers for disease resistance loci is an effective method of selecting resistant varieties in breeding programs. When a population is segregating for multiple loci affecting multiple diseases, the efficiency of MAS compared to phenotypic screening becomes even greater because all the loci can be processed in the lab together from a single sample of DNA. Another advantage over field evaluations for disease reaction is that MAS can be done at any time of year regardless of the growing season. Moreover, environmental effects are irrelevant to marker-assisted selection.
Another use of MAS in plant and animal breeding is to assist the recovery of the recurrent parent genotype by backcross breeding. Backcross breeding is the process of crossing a progeny back to one of its parents. Backcrossing is usually done for the puφose of introgressing one or a. few loci from a donor parent into an otherwise desirable genetic background from the recurrent parent. The more cycles of backcrossing that is done, the greater the genetic contribution of the recurrent parent to the resulting variety. This is often necessary, because resistant plants may be otherwise undesirable, i.e., due to low yield, low fecundity, or the like. In contrast, strains which are the result of intensive breeding programs may have excellent yield, fecundity or the like, merely being deficient in one desired trait such as resistance to a particular pathogen. The 63 marker loci described in the Examples below are distributed around the soybean genome and are used to select for the recurrent-parent genotype. MAS for the recurrent-parent genotype can be combined with MAS for the disease resistance loci using these markers. Accordingly, it is possible to use the markers to introduce disease resistance QTL into plant varieties having an otherwise desirable genetic background using the markers of the invention for selection of the QTL and for selection of the otherwise desirable background. Positional Cloning in Soybean Positional gene cloning uses the proximity of a mapped gene and its linked markers to physically define a cloned chromosomal fragment that contains a desired gene. If two or more markers flanking the gene are physically close to each other, they may hybridize to the same DNA fragment, thereby identifying a clone on which the gene is located. If flanking markers are more distant from each other, a fragment containing the gene may be identified by constructing a contig of overlapping clones.
Recently, BAC (bacterial artificial chromosome) and YAC (yeast artificial chromosome) libraries containing large fragments of soybean DNA have been constructed Funke RP and Kolchinsky A (1994) CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL, ppl25-308 1994; Marek LF and Shoemaker RC (1996) Soybean Genet Newsl 23: 126-129 1996; Danish et al. (1997) Soybean Genet Newsl 24: 196-198. These libraries and advances in genetic mapping make positional cloning of soybean genes feasible using the markers identified herein.
A marker is ideally locus-specific to reliably identify a clone from the targeted chromosomal region. The soybean genome is highly duplicated (Shoemaker et al (1996) (Glycine subgenus soja) Genetics 144:329-338, but each nucleotide polymoφhism and its PCR primers described here is specific to a single locus in the soybean genome and therefore correctly identifies soybean clones that hybridize to a corresponding probe DNA sequence corresponding to a particular target genomic location. Some of these marker loci are closely linked to agronomically important genes, such as genes for resistance to soybean cyst nematode and fungal pathogens, and are used as locus-specific reference points in positional cloning efforts for these genes. Making and Using Markers for Detection of Polymoφhic Nucleic Acids
The ability to characterize an individual by its genome is due to the inherent variability of genetic information. Although DNA sequences which code for necessary proteins are well conserved across a species, there are regions of DNA which are non-coding or code for portions of proteins which do not have critical functions and therefore, absolute conservation of nucleic acid sequence is not strongly selected for. These variable regions are identified by genetic markers. Typically, genetic markers are bound by probes such as oligonucleotides or amplicons which bind to variable regions of the genome. In some instances, the presence or absence of binding to a genetic marker identifies individuals by their unique nucleic acid sequence. In other instances, a marker binds to nucleic acid sequences of all individuals but the individual is identified by the position in the genome bound by a marker probe.
The major causes of genetic variability are addition, deletion, or point mutations, recombination and transposable elements within the genome of individuals in a plant population.
Point mutations are typically the result of inaccuracy in DNA replication. During meiosis in the creation of germ cells or in mitosis to create clones, DNA polymerase "switches" bases, either transitionally (i.e. , a purine for a purine and a pyrimidine for a pyrimidine) or transversionally (i.e., purine to pyrimidine and vice versa). The base switch is maintained if the exonuclease function of DNA polymerase does not correct the mismatch. At germination, or the next cell division (in clonal cells), the DNA strand with the point mutation becomes the template for a complementary strand and the base switch is incoφorated into the genome. Transposable elements are sequences of DNA which have the ability to move or to jump to new locations within a genome and several examples of transposons are known in the art.
Given the sequences herein, one of skill can generate probe nucleic acids for detecting markers, including probes which are PCR primers, allele-specific probes, PCR amplicons and the like for the detection of polymoφhic nucleotides at the loci disclosed herein, as well as genetically-linked sequences.
Cloning methodologies for replicating nucleic acids and sequencing methods to verify the sequence of nucleic acids are well known in the art.

See, Ausbel, Sambrook and Berger, all supra. Oligonucleotides for use as probes, e.g., in in vitro amplification methods, for use as gene probes, or as inhibitor components (e.g., ribozymes) are typically synthesized chemically according to the solid phase phosphoramidite triester method described by Beaucage and Caruthers (1981), Tetrahedron Letts. , 22(20): 1859-1862, e.g., using an automated synthesizer, as described in Needhaim-VanDevanter et al. (1984) Nucleic Acids Res., 12:6159-6168. Oligonucleotides can also be custom made and ordered from a variety of commercial sources known to persons of skill. Purification of oligonucleotides, where necessary, is typically performed by either native acrylamide gel electrophoresis or by anion-exchange HPLC as described in Pearson and Regnier (1983) J. Chrom. 255: 137-149. The sequence of the synthetic oligonucleotides can be verified using the chemical degradation method of Maxam and Gilbert (1980) in Grossman and Moldave (eds.) Academic Press, New York, Methods in Enzymology 65:499-560.
Providing Large Nucleic Acid Templates
In certain applications it is advantageous to make or clone large nucleic acids which encompass multiple loci, or to detect, clone, or isolate nucleic acids linked to polymoφhic nucleotides. For example, as described supra, in one embodiment, positional cloning is used to isolate nucleic acids proximal to polymoφhic nucleotides, e.g., at more than one locus. These nucleic acids are in linkage disequilibrium with the polymoφhic nucleotides, i.e., they are genetically linked to the polymoφhic nucleotides on a chromosomal nucleic acid. It will be appreciated that a nucleic acid genetically linked to a polymoφhic nucleotide optionally resides up to about 50 centimorgans from the polymoφhic nucleic acid, although the precise physical distance will vary depending on the cross-over frequency of the particular chromosomal region. Typical distances from a polymoφhic nucleotide are in the range of 1-50 centimorgans, for example, less than 1-5, about 1-5, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 or 50 centimorgans, etc.
Many methods of making large recombinant RNA and DNA nucleic acids, including recombinant plasmids, recombinant lambda phage, cosmids, yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs), PI artificial chromosomes, Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BACs), and the like are known. A general introduction to YACs, BACs, PACs and MACs as artificial chromosomes is described in Monaco and Larin (1994) Trends Biotechnol 12(7): 280-286. Examples of appropriate cloning techniques for making large nucleic acids, and instructions sufficient to direct persons of skill through many cloning exercises are found in Berger and Kimmel, Sambrook, and Ausubel, all supra.
In one aspect, nucleic acids hybridizing to the polymoφhic nucleic acids disclosed herein (or linked to such nucleic acids) are cloned into large nucleic acids such as YACs, or are detected in YAC genomic libraries cloned from soybean. The construction of YACs and YAC libraries is known. See, Berger, supra, and Burke et al. (1987) Science 236:806-812. Gridded libraries of YACs are described in Anand et al (1989) Nucleic Acids Res. 17, 3425-3433, and Anand et al. (1990) Nucleic Acids Res. Riley (1990) 18: 1951-1956 Nucleic Acids Res. 18(10):2887-2890 and the references therein describe cloning of YACs and related technologies. YAC libraries containing large fragments of soybean DNA have been constructed. See, Funke and Kolchinsky (1994) CRC Press,. Boca Raton, FL, pp. 125-308 1994; Marek and Shoemaker (1996) Soybean Genet Newsl 23: 126-129 1996; Danish et al. (1997) Soybean Genet Newsl 24: 196-198. See also, Ausubel, chapter 13 for a description of procedures for making YAC libraries.
Similarly, cosmids or other molecular vectors such as BAC and PI constructs are also useful for isolating or cloning nucleic acids linked to polymoφhic nucleic acids. Cosmid cloning is also known. See, e.g., Ausubel, chapter 1.10.11 (supplement 13) and the references therein. See also, Ish-Horowitz and Burke (1981) Nucleic Acids Res. 9:2989-2998; Murray (1983) Phage Lambda and Molecular Cloning in Lambda II (Hendrix et al , eds) 395-432 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, NY; Frischauf et al.

Construction of BAC and PI libraries is known; see, e.g., Ashworth et al. (1995) Anal Biochem 224(2): 564-571; Wang et al. (1994) Genomics 24(3): 527-534; Kim et al.

Improved methods of in vitro amplification to amplify large nucleic acids linked to the polymoφhic nucleic acids herein are summarized in Cheng et al. (1994) Nature 369:684-685 and the references therein.
In addition, any of the cloning or amplification strategies described above are useful for creating contigs of overlapping clones, thereby providing overlapping nucleic acids which show the physical relationship at the molecular level for genetically linked nucleic acids. A common example of this strategy is found in whole organism sequencing projects, in which overlapping clones are sequenced to provide the entire sequence of a chromosome. In this procedure, a library of the organism's cDNA or genomic DNA is made according to standard procedures described, e.g., in the references above. Individual clones are isolated and sequenced, and overlapping sequence information is ordered to provide the sequence of the organism. See also, Tomb et al. (1997) Nature 539-547 describing the whole genome random sequencing and assembly of the complete genomic sequence of Helicobacter pylori; Fleischmann et al. (1995) Science 269:496-512 describing whole genome random sequencing and assembly of the complete Haemophilus influenzae genome; Fraser et al (1995) Science 21Q- 91- 403 describing whole genome random sequencing and assembly of the complete Mycoplasma genitalium genome and Bult et al. (1996) Science 273: 1058-1073 describing whole genome random sequencing and assembly of the complete Methanococcus jannaschii genome. Recently, Hagiwara and Curtis (1996) Nucleic Acids Research 24(12): 2460-2461 developed a "long distance sequencer" PCR protocol for generating overlapping nucleic acids from very large clones to facilitate sequencing, and methods of amplifying and tagging the overlapping nucleic acids into suitable sequencing templates. The methods can be used in conjunction with shotgun sequencing techniques to improve the efficiency of shotgun methods typically used in whole organism sequencing projects. As applied to the present invention, the techniques are useful for identifying and sequencing genomic nucleic acids genetically linked to the loci described. Hybridization Strategies
In a preferred aspect, a labeled probe nucleic acid is specifically hybridized to a marker nucleic acid from a biological sample and the label is detected, thereby determining that the marker nucleic acid is present in the sample. -For example, a marker comprising a polymoφhic nucleic acid can be detected by allele-specific hybridization of a probe to the region of the marker comprising the polymoφhic nucleic acid. Similarly, a marker can be detected by Southern analysis, northern analysis, in situ analysis, or the like.
Two single-stranded nucleic acids "hybridize" when they form a double- stranded duplex. The region of double-strandedness can include the full-length of one or both of the single-stranded nucleic acids, or all of one single stranded nucleic acid and a subsequence of the other single stranded nucleic acid, or the region of double- strandedness can include a subsequence of each nucleic acid. "Stringent hybridization conditions" in the context of nucleic acid hybridization are sequence dependent and are different under different environmental parameters. An extensive guide to the hybridization of nucleic acids is found in Tijssen (1993), id. Generally, stringent conditions are selected to be about 5° C lower than the thermal melting point (Tm) for the specific sequence at a defined ionic strength and pH. The Tm is the temperature
(under defined ionic strength and pH) at which 50% of the target sequence hybridizes to a perfectly matched probe. Highly stringent conditions are selected to be equal to the Tm point for a particular probe. Sometimes the term "Td" is used to define the temperature at which at least half of the probe dissociates from a perfectly matched target nucleic acid. In any case, a variety of estimation techniques for estimating the Tm or Td are available, and generally described in Tijssen, id. Typically, G-C base pairs in a duplex are estimated to contribute about 3°C to the Tm, while A-T base pairs are estimated to contribute about 2°C, up to a theoretical maximum of about 80-100°C. However, more sophisticated models of TM and Td are available and appropriate in which G-C stacking interactions, solvent effects, the desired assay temperature and the like are taken into account. In one example, PCR primers were designed to have a dissociation temperature (Td) of approximately 60°C, using the formula: Td = (((((3 x #GC) + (2 x #AT)) x 37) - 562) / #bp) - 5; where #GC, #AT, and #bp are the number of guanine-cytosine base pairs, the number of adenine-thymine base pairs, and the number of total base pairs, respectively, involved in the annealing of the primer to the template DNA.
An example of stringent hybridization conditions for hybridization of complementary nucleic acids that have more than 100 complementary residues on a filter in a Southern or northern blot is 50% formalin with 1 mg of heparin at 42°C, with the hybridization being carried out overnight. An example of stringent wash conditions for a Southern blot of such nucleic acids is a 0.2x SSC wash at 65 °C for 15 minutes (see, Sambrook, supra for a description of SSC buffer). Often the high stringency wash is preceded by a low stringency wash to remove background probe signal. An example low stringency wash is 2x SSC at 40°C for 15 minutes.
In general, a signal to noise ratio of 2x (or higher) than that observed for an unrelated probe in the particular hybridization assay indicates detection of a specific hybridization. For highly specific hybridization strategies such as allele-specific hybridization, an allele-specific probe is usually hybridized to a marker nucleic acid (e.g., a genomic nucleic acid, an amplicon, or the like) comprising a polymoφhic nucleotide under highly stringent conditions. Allele-Specific Hybridization (ASH)
One especially preferred example of a hybridization technology for detecting marker nucleic acids is allele-specific hybridization, or "ASH. " This technology is based on the stable annealing of a short, single-stranded oligonucleotide probe to a single-stranded target nucleic acid only when base pairing is completely complementary. The hybridization can then be detected from a radioactive or non-radioactive label on the probe (methods of labeling probes and other nucleic acids are set forth in detail below).
ASH markers are polymoφhic when their base composition at one or a few nucleotide positions in a segment of DNA is different among different genotypes. For each polymoφhism, two or more different ASH probes are designed to have identical DNA sequences except at the polymoφhic nucleotide(s). Each probe will have exact homology with one allele sequence so that the complement of probes can distinguish all the alternative allele sequences. Each probe is hybridized against the target DNA. With appropriate probe design and stringency conditions, a single-base mismatch between the probe and target DNA will prevent hybridization and the unbound probe will wash away. In this manner, only one of the alternative probes will hybridize to a target sample that is homozygous or homogeneous for an allele (an allele is defined by the DNA homology between the probe and target). Samples that are heterozygous or heterogeneous for two alleles will hybridize to both of two alternative probes. Having a probe for each allele allows the polymoφhism to be genetically co-dominant which is useful in determining zygosity. In addition, a co-dominant ASH system is useful when hybridization does not occur for either one of two alternative probes, so that control experiments can be directed towards verifying insufficient target DNA or the occurrence of a new allele. ASH markers are used as dominant markers where the presence or absence of only one allele is determined from hybridization or lack of hybridization by only one probe. The alternative allele may be inferred from the lack of hybridization. Heterogeneous target nucleic acids (i.e., chromosomal DNA from a multiallelic plant) are detected by monitoring simultaneous hybridization of two or more probes comprising different polymoφhic nucleotides to a genomic nucleic acid.
Allele-specific hybridization was first described by Wallace et al. (1979) who showed that the hybridization between an oligonucleotide probe and bacteriophage target DNA, dissociated at about 10° C lower temperature when the probe and target sequences had a single base-pair mismatch compared to when the probe and target DNA had perfect homology. This difference in thermal stability allowed ASH probes to discriminate the two alleles determined by a single-nucleotide polymoφhism between the wildtype sequence and a point mutation in the am-3 bacteriophage.
Later it was shown that a mixture of ASH probes, designed from the possible degenerate DNA sequences coding for a known amino acid sequence, could be used to identify clones containing the rabbit β-globin DNA that coded for that protein (Wallace et al. (1981) Nuclei Acids Res 9:879-894). They also showed that the only probe that hybridized to the clones had exact homology to the clone, whereas three probes that did not hybridize to the clones had a single base-pair mismatch with the target DNA. ASH markers have been developed to diagnose susceptibility to human diseases caused by point mutations in DNA sequence. Examples are for the /3s-globin allele that can cause sickle-cell anemia (Conner et al. (1983) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 80:278-282), the /3°-thalassemia allele that can cause /3-thalassemia (Pirastu et al. (1983) New England J Med 309:284-287), the /3,-antitrypsin allele that can cause liver cirrhosis and pulmonary emphysema (Kidd (1983) Nature 304:230-234), the HLA-DR haplotypes associated with immune response (Angelini et al. (1986) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 83:4489-4493), and the A985G allele that can cause medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (Iitia A et al. (1994) BioTechniques 17:566-571).
ASH markers have also been developed to identify strains of fungi resistant to the fungicide benzimidazole because of specific point mutations in the j8-tubulin gene in Venturia inaequalis (Koenraadt and Jones (1992) Phytopathology 82: 1354-1358 and Rhynchosporium secalis (Wheeler et al. (1995) Pestic Sci 43:201-209). An ASH probe is designed to form a stable duplex with a nucleic acid target only when base pairing is completely complementary. One or more base-pair mismatches between the probe and target prevents stable hybridization. This holds true for numerous variations of the process. The probe and target molecules are optionally either RNA or denatured DNA; the target molecule(s) is/are any length of nucleotides beyond the sequence that is complementary to the probe; the probe is designed to hybridize with either strand of a DNA target; the probe ranges in size to conform to variously stringent hybridization conditions, etc.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (see, e.g., Mullis KB and Faloona F (1987) Methods Enzymol 155:335-350 and references supra) allows the target sequence for ASH to be amplified from low concentrations of nucleic acid in relatively small volumes (Koenraadt H and Jones AR (1992) Phytopatholog 82: 1354-1358; Iitia et al. (1994) BioTechniques 17:566-571). Otherwise, the target sequence from genomic DNA is digested with a restriction endonuclease and size separated by gel electrophoresis (Conner et al. 1983). Hybridizations typically occur with the target sequence bound to the surface of a membrane or, as described in U.S. Patent 5,468,613, the ASH probe sequence may be bound to a membrane.
Utilizing nucleotide alleles and polymoφhisms described here, ASH data were obtained by amplifying nucleic acid fragments (amplicons) from genomic DNA using PCR, transferring the amplicon target DNA to a membrane in a dot-blot format, hybridizing a labeled oligonucleotide probe to the amplicon target, and observing the hybridization dots by autoradiography. These genetic markers have utility in the improvement of soybean, an important crop plant that supplies much of the world's oil and protein. Solid-Phase Arrays
In one variant, ASH technologies are adapted to solid phase arrays for the rapid and specific detection of multiple polymoφhic nucleotides. Typically, an ASH probe is linked to a solid support and a target nucleic acid (e.g., a genomic nucleic acid, or an amplicon) is hybridized to the probe. Either the probe, or the target, or both, can be labeled, typically with a fluorophore. Where the target is labeled, hybridization is detected by detecting bound fluorescence. Where the probe is labeled, hybridization is typically detected by quenching of the label. Where both the probe and the target are labeled, detection of hybridization is typically performed by monitoring a color shift resulting from proximity of the two bound labels. A variety of labeling strategies, labels, and the like, particularly for fluorescent based applications are described, supra.
In one embodiment, an array of ash probes are synthesized on a solid support. Using chip masking technologies and photoprotective chemistry it is possible to generate ordered arrays of nucleic acid probes. These arrays, which are known, e.g., as "DNA chips," or as very large scale immobilized polymer arrays ("VLSIPS™" arrays) can include millions of defined probe regions on a substrate having an area of about 1cm2 to several cm2.
The construction and use of solid phase nucleic acid arrays to detect target nucleic acids is well described in the literature. See, Fodor et al. (1991) Science, 251: 767- 777; Sheldon. et al. (1993) Clinical Chemistry 39(4): 718-719; Kozal et al. (1996) Nature Medicine 2(7): 753-759 and Hubbell U.S. Pat. No. 5,571,639. See also, Pinkel et al. PCT/US95/16155 (WO 96/17958). In brief, a combinatorial strategy allows for the synthesis of arrays containing a large number of probes using a minimal number of synthetic steps. For instance, it is possible to synthesize and attach all possible DNA 8mer oligonucleotides (48, or 65,536 possible combinations) using only 32 chemical synthetic steps. In general, VLSIPS™ procedures provide a method of producing 4n different oligonucleotide probes on an array using only 4n synthetic steps.
Light-directed combinatorial synthesis of oligonucleotide arrays on a glass surface is performed with automated phosphoramidite chemistry and chip masking techniques similar to photoresist technologies in the computer chip industry. Typically, a glass surface is derivatized with a silane reagent containing a functional group, e.g., a hydroxy 1 or amine group blocked by a photolabile protecting group. Photolysis through a photolithogaphic mask is used selectively to expose functional groups which are then ready to react with incoming 5'-photoprotected nucleoside phosphoramidites. The phosphoramidites react only with those sites which are illuminated (and thus exposed by removal of the photolabile blocking group). Thus, the phosphoramidites only add to those areas selectively exposed from the preceding step. These steps are repeated until the desired array of sequences have been synthesized on the solid surface. Combinatorial synthesis of different oligonucleotide analogues at different locations on the array is determined by the pattern of illumination during synthesis and the order of addition of coupling reagents. Monitoring of hybridization of target nucleic acids to the array is typically performed with fluorescence microscopes or laser scanning microscopes. In addition to being able to design, build and use probe arrays using available techniques, one of skill is also able to order custom-made arrays and array- reading devices from manufacturers specializing in array manufacture. For example, Affymetrix Coφ. in Santa Clara CA manufactures DNA VLSIP™ arrays.
It will be appreciated that probe design is influenced by the intended application. For example, where several allele-specific probe-target interactions are to be detected in a single assay, e.g., on a single DNA chip, it is desirable to have similar melting temperatures for all of the probes. Accordingly, the length of the probes are adjusted so that the melting temperatures for all of the probes on the array are closely similar (it will be appreciated that different lengths for different probes may be needed to achieve a particular Tm where different probes have different GC contents). Although melting temperature is a primary consideration in probe design, other factors are optionally used to further adjust probe construction.
Chromosome Painting Technologies--In Situ Hybridization
In one aspect, a marker is used as a chromosome probe to cytogenetically detect the presence of a polymoφhic nucleic acid or region linked to the nucleic acid.
This can be especially useful because cytogenetic identification of a chromosomal region provides a way of determining the physical location of the region hybridized by the probe, i.e., in reference to other known markers.
Typically, a probe which hybridizes to a polymoφhic nucleotide or a linked nucleic acid is chemically linked to a colorometric label, or fluorophore. The probe is used to paint the chromosome with the color label, thereby identifying regions which are hybridized by the label. Chromosome painting refers to the staining of specific metaphase or prophase chromosomes or regions of chromosomes with probe mixtures, e.g., probes hybridizing to the polymoφhic nucleic acids of the invention, and optionally, additional probes hybridizing to additional regions. The painting signal is preferably obtained by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of such mixtures with the target genome. A variety of staining technologies for the detection of chromosomal differences (typically abnormalities) are known. See, Jauch et al, Hum. Genet. , 85: 145- 150 (1990); Wier Chromosomal, 100:371-376 (1991); Van-den-Engh et al, Cytometry 6:92-100 (1988) and Kaltoft et al. Arch. Dermatol. Res. , 279:293-298 (1987); Sealey et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 13:1905 (1985); Landegent et al. Hum. Genet., 77:366 (1987); Nisson et al, BRL Focus, 13:42 (1991). Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is also a known approach for identifying the presence and localization of sequences in a genome compared to a reference genome. See, Kallioniemi, et al. (1992) Science 258:818. CGH can provide a quantitative estimate of copy number and also provides information regarding the localization of amplified or deleted sequences in a normal chromosome. Many in situ detection techniques are known and can be adapted to the present invention. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), reverse chromosome painting, FISH on DAPI stained chromosomes, generation of Alphoid DNA probes for FISH using PCR, PRINS labeling of DNA, free chromatin mapping, spectral karyotyping and a variety of other techniques described, e.g., in Tijssen (1993) Laboratory Techniques in biochemistry and molecular biology—hybridization with nucleic acid probes parts I and II. Elsevier, New York, and, Choo (ed) (1994) Methods In Molecular Biology Volume 33- In Situ Hvbridization Protocols Humana Press Inc. , New Jersey (see also, other books in the Methods in Molecular Biology series).
These color-labeling strategies are useful for distinguishing the presence or absence of a chromosomal nucleic acid. They are also useful for the detection of multiple probes with multiple labels. In particular, chromosomes are optionally stained with multiple probes, optionally having multiple color labels. In this way, it is possible to quickly provide a genetic map of a sample at the molecular level. Furthermore, it is possible to determine whether two polymoφhic nucleotides from the same locus are present. For example, if two allele-specific probes with different color labels are hybridized to a chromosomal sample under allele-specific hybridization conditions,- it is possible specifically to detect both polymoφhic nucleotides. For example, where a first probe has a "blue" label, and a second probe has a "yellow" label, a sample which is homozygous for the polymoφhic nucleotide specifically bound by the first probe will look "blue" to an observer, a sample which is homozygous for the polymoφhic nucleotide specifically bound by the second probe will look "yellow" to an observer, while a sample which is heterozygous and binds both probes will appear "green" to an observer. It will be appreciated that many color combinations are possible. For example, where the first fluorophore emits a "blue" light and a second fluorophore emits a "yellow" light, the effect to the observer is that a "green" signal is observed. It will be appreciated that a wide variety of emission characteristics can be monitored; indeed, even when the fluorophores emit a non-visible wavelength of light, a combination color can be assigned to a ratio between any two (or more, e.g., where more than two probes are used in an assay) wavelengths of light. Amplification Detection Strategies
In a preferred embodiment, a polymoφhic nucleotide is detected by amplifying the polymoφhic nucleotide and detecting the resulting amplicon. A variety of variations on this strategy are used to detect polymoφhic nucleic acids, depending on the materials available, and the like. (1) PCR
In one embodiment, nucleic acids primers which hybridize to regions of a genomic nucleic acid that flank a polymoφhic nucleotide to be detected are used in PCR or LCR reactions to generate an amplicon comprising the polymoφhic nucleotide. A variety of PCR and LCR strategies are known in the art and are found in Berger, Sambrook, Ausubel, and Innis, all supra. See also, as Mullis et al. , (1987) U.S. Patent No. 4,683,202. In brief, a nucleic acid having a polymoφhic nucleic acid to be detected (a genomic DNA, a genomic clone, a genomic amplicon or the like) is hybridized to primers which flank the polymoφhic nucleotide to be detected (e.g., nucleotide polymoφhisms at a locus such as pA060A, pA077A, pA086A, pA169A, pA280A, pA378A, pA505A, pA519A, pA588A, pA947B, pB032A, pB032B, pB039A, pBLT24A, pBLT65A, php02265A, php02301A, php02361A, php02370C, php02387A, php02388A, php02393A, php02396A, php02636A, php03522A, php05219A, php05233A, php05278A, php05342A, php07659A, php08584A, phpl2105A, php02340B, php05264A, phpl0355B, pK069A, pK079A, pK401A, pK418A, pK644B, pL058A, pL183A, pR045A, pR153A, pT005A, pT155A, php02329A, php02371A, pA343A, pA748B, php05290A, pA858A, php02376A, pG17.3, pB132A, phpl0078A and/or SOYBPSP, all described supra). Example primers which amplify the polymoφhic nucleic acids are provided in the examples section below. The primers are extended in a PCR reaction (typically including a thermostable polymerase enzyme such as Taq, deoxynucleotides, Mg+ + and the like; See, Ausubel, Innis, Berger or Sambrook for typical PCR conditions). The resulting PCR amplicons comprise the polymoφhic nucleic acid to be detected. Exemplar amplicons include phal2105, phal2390, phal2391, phal2392, phal2393, phal2394, phal2394, phal2395, phal2396, phal0634, phal0623, phal0624, phal0649, phal l l35, phal0792, phal0635, phal0638, phal0648, phal0621, phal l071, phal l073, phal0640, phal l076, phal0653, phal0598, phal0615, phal0646, phal0618, phal0620, phal0782, phalll31, phalll32, phal0650, phal0651, phal ll38, phal0637, phal l078, phal l079, phal l l39, phal0655, phal l701, phal l627, phal0633, phal l074, phal l075, phal0632, phal l628, phall l33, phal0641, phal l l36, phal0658, phal0636, phal0783, phal0647, pha08230, phal3070, phal3071, phal3072, phal3073, phal3074, phal3158, phal3560, phal3561, phal4257 and phal4395. Methods of detecting PCR amplicons are known, and can easily be adapted to detecting the amplicons of the invention. Detection is typically performed by running PCR reaction products out on an acrylamide or agarose gel and detecting the size of the reaction products; alternatively, the products can be detected by allele-specific hybridization, by allele-specific hybridization to a polymer array as described supra, or by sequencing the PCR amplicons (using standard Sanger dideoxy or Maxam-Gilbert methods). The polymoφhic nucleotides in amplicons are optionally detected by cleaving the amplicon with a restriction enzyme that recognizes the polymoφhic nucleic acid, in an adaptation of standard RFLP analysis.
In addition to the example primer nucleic acids in the examples section below, one of skill is easily able to select a variety of other primers which can be used in PCR amplification of nucleic acids comprising or proximal to polymoφhic nucleotides. In particular, methods of amplifying large nucleic acids by PCR are summarized in Cheng et al. (1994) Nature 369: 684-685 and the references therein, in which PCR amplicons of up to 40kb are generated. More typically, standard PCR is used to create amplicons of between about 100 and about 5,000 nucleotides in length, e.g., using the techniques described in Ausubel and Innis, supra. In any case, primers that hybridize to essentially any region of an amplicon made using the primers of the invention are designed by reference to the sequence of the amplicon. The sequence of the primers are selected to hybridize to regions of the amplicon.
Amplicons are sequenced by any of a variety of protocols. Most DNA sequencing today is carried out by chain termination methods of DNA sequencing. The most popular chain termination methods of DNA sequencing are variants of the dideoxynucleotide mediated chain termination method of Sanger. See, Sanger et al. (1977) Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci, USA 74:5463-5467. For a simple introduction to dideoxy sequencing, see, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, F.M. Ausubel et al , eds. , Current Protocols, a joint venture between Greene Publishing Associates, Inc. and John Wiley & Sons, Inc. , (Supplement 37, current through 1997) (Ausubel), Chapter 7. Thousands of laboratories employ dideoxynucleotide chain termination techniques. Commercial kits containing the reagents most typically used for these methods of DNA sequencing are available and widely used.
In addition to the Sanger methods of chain termination, new PCR exonuclease digestion methods are available for DNA sequencing of PCR amplicons. Direct sequencing of PCR generated amplicons by selectively incoφorating boronated nuclease resistant nucleotides into the amplicons during PCR and digestion of the amplicons with a nuclease to produce sized template fragments has been developed (Porter et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Research 25(8): 1611-1617). In the methods, 4 PCR reactions on a template are performed, in which one of the nucleotide triphosphates in the PCR reaction mixture is partially substituted with a 2'deoxynucleoside 5'-α[P- boranoj-triphosphate. The boronated nucleotide is stocastically incoφorated into PCR products at varying positions along the PCR amplicon. An exonuclease which is blocked by incoφorated boronated nucleotides is used to cleave the PCR amplicons. The cleaved amplicons are then separated by size using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, providing the sequence of the amplicon. An advantage of this method is that it requires fewer biochemical manipulations for sequencing an amplicon than performing standard Sanger- style sequencing of PCR amplicons.
Once an amplicon is sequenced, the sequence is optionally used to select primers complementary to the amplicon, i.e., primers which will hybridize to the amplicon. It is expected that one of skill is thoroughly familiar with the theory and practice of nucleic acid hybridization and primer selection. Gait, ed. Oligonucleotide Synthesis: A Practical Approach, IRL Press, Oxford (1984); W.H.A. Kuijpers Nucleic Acids Research 18(17), 5197 (1994); K.L. Dueholm J. Org. Chem. 59, 5767-5773 (1994); S. Agrawal (ed.) Methods in Molecular Biology, volume 20; and Tijssen (1993) Laboratory Techniques in biochemistry and molecular biology-hybridization with nucleic acid probes, e.g., part I chapter 2 "overview of principles of hybridization and the strategy of nucleic acid probe assays", Elsevier, New York provide a basic guide to nucleic acid hybridization. Innis, supra, provides an overview of primer selection.
One of skill will recognize that the 3' end of an amplification primer is more important for PCR than the 5' end. Investigators have reported PCR products where only a few nucleotides at the 3' end of an amplification primer were complementary to a DNA to be amplified. In this regard, nucleotides at the 5' end of a primer can incoφorate structural features unrelated to the target nucleic acid; for instance, in one embodiment, a sequencing primer hybridization site (or a complement to such a primer, depending on the application) is incoφorated into the amplification primer, where the sequencing primer is derived from a primer used in a standard sequencing kit, such as one using a biotinylated or dye-labeled universal M13 or SP6 primer. The primers are typically selected so that there is no complementarity between any known target sequence and any constant primer region. One of skill will appreciate that constant regions in primer sequences are optional.
Typically, all primer sequences are selected to hybridize only to a perfectly complementary DNA, with the nearest mismatch hybridization possibility from known DNA sequence typical having at least about 50 to 70% hybridization mismatches, and preferably 100% mismatches for the terminal 5 nucleotides at the 3' end of the primer.
The primers are selected so that no secondary structure forms within the primer. Self-complementary primers have poor hybridization properties, because the complementary portions of the primers self hybridize (i.e., form haiφin structures). Primers are selected to have minimal cross-hybridization, thereby preventing competition between individual primers and a template nucleic acid and preventing duplex formation of the primers in solution, and possible concatenation of the primers during PCR. If there is more than one constant region in the primer, the constant regions of the primer are selected so that they do not self-hybridize or form haiφin structures.
One of skill will recognize that there are a variety of possible ways of performing the above selection steps, and that variations on the steps are appropriate. Most typically, selection steps are performed using simple computer programs to perform the selection as outlined above; however, all of the steps are optionally performed manually. One available computer program for primer selection is the MacVector™ program from Kodak. In addition to programs for primer selection, one of skill can easily design simple programs for any or all of the preferred selection steps.
One of skill will recognize that a wide variety of amplicons are provided by the present invention. In particular, amplicons are generated with the primers described herein. The amplicons can be generated by exponential amplification as described in the examples herein, or by linear amplification using a single specific primer, or by using one of the example primers below in conjunction with a set of random primers.
It will be appreciated that the amplicons are characterized by a variety of physicochemical properties, including, but not limited to the following. First, the amplicons of the invention are produced in an amplification reaction using the primers as described above, with genomic soybean nucleic acid as a template (or a derivative thereof, such as a cloned or in vitro amplified genomic nucleic acid). Second, single stranded forms of the amplicons (e.g., denatured amplicons) hybridize under stringent conditions to the template nucleic acid. Conditions for specific hybridization of nucleic acids, including amplicon nucleic acids are described above. A third physicochemical property of amplicons of the invention is that they specifically hybridize to one or more of the primers in the examples section below. In particular, the primers used to make the amplicon will hybridize to the amplicon; indeed, in PCR amplification strategies, hybridization of the primers to the amplicon is usually required for amplification. Additional physicochemical properties of the amplicons are described in the examples section, where example amplicons are described with reference, e.g., to size and hybridization to particular primers. (2) LCR
In another embodiment, LCR is used to amplify specifically a polymoφhic nucleic acid. By detecting the amplification product, presence of the polymoφhic nucleotide is confirmed. Detection is typically performed by running LCR reaction products out on an acrylamide or agarose gel and detecting the size of the reaction products; alternatively, the products can be detected by allele-specific hybridization, by allele-specific hybridization to a polymer array as described supra, or by sequencing the LCR amplicons (using standard Sanger dideoxy or Maxam-Gilbert methods). Detection techniques such as PCR amplification or other in vitro amplification methods are also used to detect LCR products.
The ligation chain reaction (LCR; sometimes denoted the "ligation amplification reaction" or "LAR") and related techniques are used as diagnostic methods for detecting single nucleotide variations in target nucleic acids. LCR provides a mechanism for linear or exponential amplification of a target nucleic acid via ligation of complementary oligonucleotides hybridized to a target. This amplification is performed to distinguish target nucleic acids that differ by a single nucleotide, providing a powerful tool for the analysis of genetic variation in the present invention, i.e., for distinguishing polymoφhic nucleotides.
The principle underlying LCR is straightforward: Oligonucleotides which are complementary to adjacent segments of a target nucleic acid are brought into proximity by hybridization to the target, and ligated using a ligase. To achieve linear amplification of the nucleic acid, a single pair of oligonucleotides which hybridize to adjoining areas of the target sequence are employed: the oligonucleotides are ligated, denatured from the template and the reaction is repeated. To achieve exponential amplification of the target nucleic acid two pairs of oligonucleotides (or more) are used, each pair hybridizing to complementary sequences on e.g. , a double-stranded target polynucleotide. After ligation and denaturation, the target and each of the ligated oligonucleotide pairs serves as a template for hybridization of the complementary oligonucleotides to achieve ligation. The ligase enzyme used in performing LCR is typically thermostable, allowing for repeated denaturation of the template and ligated oligonucleotide complex by heating the ligation reaction. LCR is useful as a diagnostic tool in the detection of genetic variation.
Using LCR methods, it is possible to distinguish between target polynucleotides which differ by a single nucleotide at the site of ligation. Ligation occurs only between oligonucleotides hybridized to a target polynucleotide where the complementarity between the oligonucleotides and the target is perfect, enabling differentiation between allelic variants of a gene or other chromosomal sequence. The specificity of ligation during
LCR can be increased by substituting the more specific NAD + -dependant ligases such as E. coli ligase and (thermostable) Taq ligase for the less specific T4 DNA ligase. The use of NAD analogues in the ligation reaction further increases specificity of the ligation reaction. See, U.S. Pat. No. 5,508, 179 to Wallace et al.
Finally, multiple LCR reactions can be run simultaneously in a single reaction, or in parallel reactions for simultaneous detection of any or all of the nucleotide polymoφhisms described herein.
(3). TAS. 3SR and OB amplification
Nucleotide polymoφhisms are also detected using other in vitro detection methods, including TAS, 3SR and Q/3 amplification. (TAS), the self-sustained sequence replication system (3SR) and the Qβ replicase amplification system (QB), are reviewed in The Journal Of NIH Research (1991) 3, 81-94. The present invention may be practiced in conjunction with TAS (Kwoh, et al. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86, 1173 or the related 3SR (Guatelli et al. (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87, 1874) for detecting single-base alterations in target nucleic acids by transcribing the target, annealing oligonucleotide primers to the transcript and ligating the annealed primers. QB replication (Lomell et al. (1989) J. Clin. Chem 35, 1826) may also be used in conjunction with the ligation methods of the present invention to detect mismatches by performing QB amplification on DNA ligated by the methods of the present invention. Labeling and Detecting Probes
A probe for use in an in situ detection procedure, an in vitro amplification procedure (PCR, LCR, NASBA, etc.), hybridization techniques (allele-specific hybridization, in situ analysis, Southern analysis, northern analysis, etc.) or any other detection procedure herein can be labeled with any composition detectable by spectroscopic, photochemical, biochemical, immunochemical, electrical, optical or chemical means. Useful labels in the present invention include spectral labels such as fluorescent dyes (e.g., fluorescent isothiocyanate, Texas red, rhodamine, digoxigenin, biotin, and the like), radiolabels (e.g. , 3H, 125I, 35S, 14C, 32P, 33P, etc.), enzymes (e.g. , horse-radish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase etc.) spectral colorimetric labels such as colloidal gold or colored glass or plastic (e.g. polystyrene, polypropylene, latex, etc.) beads. The label may be coupled directly or indirectly to a component of the detection assay (e.g. , a probe, primer, amplicon, YAC, BAC or the like) according to methods well known in the art. As indicated above, a wide variety of labels may be used, with the choice of label depending on sensitivity required, ease of conjugation with the compound, stability requirements, available instrumentation, and disposal provisions. In general, a detector which monitors a probe- target nucleic acid hybridization is adapted to the particular label which is used. Typical detectors include spectrophotometers, phototubes and photodiodes, microscopes, scintillation counters, cameras, film and the like, as well as combinations thereof. Examples of suitable detectors are widely available from a variety of commercial sources known to persons of skill. Commonly, an optical image of a substrate comprising a nucleic acid array with particular set of probes bound to the array is digitized for subsequent computer analysis.
Because incoφoration of radiolabeled nucleotides into nucleic acids is straightforward, this detection represents a preferred labeling strategy. Exemplar technologies for incoφorating radiolabels include end-labeling with a kinase or phoshpatase enzyme, nick translation, incoφoration of radio-active nucleotides with a polymerase and many other well known strategies.
Fluorescent labels are also preferred labels, having the advantage of requiring fewer precautions in handling. Preferred labels are typically characterized by one or more of the following: high sensitivity, high stability, low background, low environmental sensitivity and high specificity in labeling. Fluorescent moieties, which are incoφorated into the labels of the invention, are generally are known, including Texas red, digoxigenin, biotin, 1- and 2-aminonaphthalene, p,p'- dia inostilbenes, pyrenes, quaternary phenanthridine salts, 9-aminoacridines, p,p'-diaminobenzophenone imines, anthracenes, oxacarbocyanine, merocyanine, 3-aminoequilenin, perylene, bis-benzoxazole, bis-p-oxazolyl benzene, 1,2-benzophenazin, retinol, bis-3-aminopyridinium salts, hellebrigenin, tetracycline, sterophenol, benzimidazolylphenylamine, 2-oxo-3-chromen, indole, xanthen, 7-hydroxycoumarin, phenoxazine, calicylate, strophanthidin, poφhyrins, triarylmethanes and flavin. Individual fluorescent compounds which have functionalities for linking to an element desirably detected in an apparatus or assay of the invention, or which can be modified to incoφorate such functionalities include, e.g. , dansyl chloride; fluoresceins such as 3,6-dihydroxy-9-phenylxanthydrol; rhodamineisothiocyanate; N-phenyl l-amino-8- sulfonatonaphthalene; N-phenyl 2-amino-6-sulfonatonaphthalene; 4-acetamido-4-isothiocyanato-stilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid; pyrene-3-sulfonic acid;
2 toluidinonaphthalene-6-sulfonate; N-phenyl-N-methyl- 2-aminoaphthalene-6-sulfonate; ethidium bromide; stebrine; auromine-0,2-(9'-anthroyl)palmitate; dansyl phosphatidylethanolamine; N,N'-dioctadecyl oxacarbocyanine: N,N'-dihexyl oxacarbocyanine; merocyanine, 4-(3'-pyrenyl)stearate; d-3-aminodesoxy-equilenin; 12-(9'-anthroyl)stearate; 2-methylanthracene; 9-vinylanthracene;
2,2'(vinylene-p-phenylene)bisbenzoxazole; p-bis(2-(4-methyl-5-phenyl-oxazolyl))benzene; 6-dimethylamino-l,2-benzophenazin; retinol; bis(3'-aminopyridinium) 1, 10-decandiyl diiodide; sulfonaphthylhydrazone of hellibrienin; chlorotetracycline; N-(7-dimethylamino-4-methyl-2-oxo-3-chromenyl)maleimide; N-(p-(2- benzimidazolyl)-phenyl)maleimide; N-(4-fluoranthyl)maleimide; bis(homovanillic acid); resazarin; 4-chloro-7-nitro-2, l,3- benzooxadiazole; merocyanine 540; resorufin; rose bengal; and 2,4-diphenyl-3(2H)-furanone. Many fluorescent tags are commercially available from SIGMA chemical company (Saint Louis, MO), Molecular Probes, R&D systems (Minneapolis, MN), Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology (Piscataway, NJ), CLONTECH Laboratories, Inc. (Palo Alto, CA), Chem Genes Coφ. , Aldrich Chemical Company (Milwaukee, WI), Glen Research, Inc. , GIBCO BRL Life Technologies, Inc. (Gaithersberg, MD), Fluka Chemica- Biochemika Analytika (Fluka Chemie AG, Buchs, Switzerland), and Applied Biosystems (Foster City, CA) as well as other commercial sources known to one of skill.
In one embodiment, nucleic acids are labeled by culturing recombinant cells which encode the nucleic acid in a medium which incoφorates fluorescent or radioactive nucleotide analogues in the growth medium, resulting in the production of fluorescently labeled nucleic acids. Similarly, nucleic acids are synthesized in vitro using a primer and a DNA polymerase such as taq. For example, Hawkins et al. U.S. Pat. No. 5,525,711 describes pteridine nucleotide analogs for use in fluorescent DNA probes, including PCR amplicons.
The label is coupled directly or indirectly to a molecule to be detected (a product, substrate, enzyme, or the like) according to methods well known in the art. As indicated above, a wide variety of labels are used, with the choice of label depending on the sensitivity required, ease of conjugation of the compound, stability requirements, available instrumentation, and disposal provisions. Non radioactive labels are often attached by indirect means. Generally, a ligand molecule (e.g. , biotin) is covalently bound to a nucleic acid such as a probe, primer, amplicon, YAC, BAC or the like. The ligand then binds to an anti-ligand (e.g. , streptavidin) molecule which is either inherently detectable or covalently bound to a signal system, such as a detectable enzyme, a fluorescent compound, or a chemiluminescent compound. A number of ligands and anti-ligands can be used. Where a ligand has a natural anti-ligand, for example, biotin, thyroxine, and cortisol, it can be used in conjunction with labeled anti-ligands. Alternatively, any haptenic or antigenic compound can be used in combination with an antibody. Labels can also be conjugated directly to signal generating compounds, e.g. , by conjugation with an enzyme or fluorophore or chromophore. Enzymes of interest as labels will primarily be hydrolases, particularly phosphatases, esterases and glycosidases, or oxidoreductases, particularly peroxidases. Fluorescent compounds include fluorescein and its derivatives, rhodamine and its derivatives, dansyl, umbelliferone, etc. Chemiluminescent compounds include luciferin and 2,3-dihydrophthalazinediones, e.g. , luminol. Means of detecting labels are well known to those of skill in the art. Thus, for example, where the label is a radioactive label, means for detection include a scintillation counter or photographic film as in autoradiography. Making Transgenic Plants With Nucleic Acids Linked to Selected Loci
Nucleic acids which are genetically linked to the loci described herein are optionally cloned and transduced into cells, especially to make transgenic plants. In particular, nucleic acids linked to the loci pA060A, pA077A, pA086A, pA169A, pA280A, pA378A, pA505A, pA519A,'pA588A, pA947B, pB032A, pB032B, pB039A, pBLT24A, pBLT65A, php02265A, php02301A, php02361A, php02370C, php02387A, php02388A, php02393A, php02396A, php02636A, php03522A, php05219A, php05233A, php05278A, php05342A, php07659A, php08584A, phpl2105A, php02340B, php05264A, phpl0355B, pK069A, pK079A, pK401A, pK418A, pK644B, pL058A, pL183A, pR045A, pR153A, pT005A, pT155A php02329A, php02371A, pA343A, pA748B, php05290A, pA858A, php02376A, pG17.3, pB132A, phpl0078A or SOYBPSP are cloned and transduced into plants. The cloned sequences are useful as molecular tags for selected plant strains, and are further useful for encoding polypeptides. Often, these polypeptides are encoded by a QTL and are responsible for the phenotypic effects of the QTL.
The nucleic acids linked to a selected locus or selected loci are introduced into plant cells, either in culture or in organs of a plant, e.g., leaves, stems, fruit, seed, etc. The expression of natural or synthetic nucleic acids encoded by nucleic acids linked to polymoφhic nucleic acids can be achieved by operably linking a nucleic acid of interest to a promoter, incoφorating the construct into an expression vector, and introducing the vector into a suitable host cell. Alternatively, an endogenous promoter linked to the nucleic acids can be used.
Typical vectors contain transcription and translation terminators, transcription and translation initiation sequences, and promoters useful for regulation of the expression of the particular nucleic acid. The vectors optionally comprise generic expression cassettes containing at least one independent terminator sequence^ sequences permitting replication of the cassette in eukaryotes, prokaryotes, or both (e.g. , shuttle vectors) and selection markers for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. Vectors are suitable for replication and integration in prokaryotes, eukaryotes, or preferably both. See, Giliman & Smith, Gene 8:81 (1979); Roberts, et al , Nature, 328:731 (1987);
Schneider, B. , et al, Protein Expr. Purifi 6435: 10 (1995); Berger, Sambrook, Ausubel (all supra).
Cloning of QTL Linked Sequences into Bacterial Hosts
There are several well-known methods of introducing nucleic acids into bacterial cells, any of which may be used in the present invention. These include: fusion of the recipient cells with bacterial protoplasts containing the DNA, electroporation, projectile bombardment, and infection with viral vectors, etc. Bacterial cells are often used to amplify increase the number of plasmids containing DNA constructs of this invention. The bacteria are grown to log phase and the plasmids within the bacteria can be isolated by a variety of methods known in the art (see, for instance, Sambrook). In addition, a plethora of kits are commercially available for the purification of plasmids from bacteria. For their proper use, follow the manufacturer's instructions (see, for example, Easy Prep™, FlexiPrep™, both from Pharmacia Biotech; StrataClean™, from Stratagene; and, QIAexpress Expression System, Qiagen). The isolated and purified plasmids are then further manipulated to produce other plasmids, used to transfect plant cells, or incoφorated into Agrobacterium tumefaciens to infect plants.
The in vitro delivery of nucleic acids into bacterial hosts can be to any cell grown in culture. Contact between the cells and the genetically engineered nucleic acid constructs, when carried out in vitro, takes place in a biologically compatible medium. The concentration of nucleic acid varies widely depending on the particular application, but is generally between about 1 μM and about 10 mM. Treatment of the cells with the nucleic acid is generally carried out at physiological temperatures (about 37 °C) for periods of time of from about 1 to 48 hours. Alternatively, a nucleic acid operably linked to a promoter to form a fusion gene is expressed in bacteria such as E. coli and its gene product isolated and purified.
Transfecting Plant Cells To use isolated sequences in the above techniques, recombinant DNA vectors suitable for transformation of plant cells are prepared. Techniques for transforming a wide variety of higher plant species are well known and described in the technical and scientific literature. See, for example, Weising, et al, Ann. Rev. Genet. 22:421-477 (1988). A DNA sequence coding for the desired mRNA, polypeptide, or non-expressed tagging sequence is transduced into the plant. Where the sequence is expressed, the sequence is optionally combined with transcriptional and translational initiation regulatory sequences which will direct the transcription of the sequence from the gene in the intended tissues of the transformed plant.
Promoters in nucleic acids linked to the above loci are identified, e.g. , by analyzing the 5' sequences upstream of a coding sequence in linkage disequilibrium with the loci. Optionally, such nucleic acids will be associated with a QTL. Sequences characteristic of promoter sequences can be used to identify the promoter. Sequences controlling eukaryotic gene expression have been extensively studied. For instance, promoter sequence elements include the TATA box consensus sequence (TATA AT), which is usually 20 to 30 base pairs upstream of a transcription start site. In most instances the TATA box aids in accurate transcription initiation. In plants, further upstream from the TATA box, at positions -80 to -100, there is typically a promoter element with a series of adenines surrounding the trinucleotide G (or T) N G. See, e.g. , J. Messing, et al, in GENETIC ENGINEERING IN PLANTS, pp. 221-227 (Kosage, Meredith and Hollaender, eds. (1983)).
A number of methods are known to those of skill in the art for identifying and characterizing promoter regions in plant genomic DNA. See, e.g., Jordano, et al, Plant Cell 1:855-866 (1989); Bustos, et al, Plant Cell 1:839-854 (1989); Green, et al, EMBO J. 7:4035-4044 (1988); Meier, et al, Plant Cell 3:309-316 (1991); and Zhang, et al, Plant Physiology 110: 1069-1079 (1996).
In construction of recombinant expression cassettes of the invention, a plant promoter fragment is optionally employed which directs expression of the gene in all tissues of a regenerated plant. Such promoters are referred to herein as "constitutive" promoters and are active under most environmental conditions and states of development or cell differentiation. Examples of constitutive promoters include the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S transcription initiation region, the 1 '- or 2'- promoter derived from T-DNA of Agrobacterium tumafaciens, and other transcription initiation regions from various plant genes known to those of skill.
Alternatively, the plant promoter may direct expression of the polynucleotide of the invention in a specific tissue (tissue-specific promoters) or may be otherwise under more precise environmental control (inducible promoters). Examples of tissue-specific promoters under developmental control include promoters that initiate transcription only in certain tissues, such as fruit, seeds, or flowers.
If polypeptide expression is desired, a polyadenylation region at the 3 '-end of the coding region is typically included. The polyadenylation region can be derived from the natural gene, from a variety of other plant genes, or from T-DNA.
The vector comprising the sequences (e.g. , promoters or coding regions) from genes of the invention will typically comprise a marker gene which confers a selectable phenotype on plant cells. For example, the marker can encode biocide resistance, particularly antibiotic resistance, such as resistance to kanamycin, G418, bleomycin, hygromycin, or herbicide resistance, such as resistance to chlorosluforon or Basta. Introduction of the Nucleic Acids into Plant Cells
The DNA constructs of the invention are introduced into plant cells, either in culture or in the organs of a plant by a variety of conventional techniques. For example, the DNA construct can be introduced directly into the genomic DNA of the plant cell using techniques such as electroporation and microinjection of plant cell protoplasts, or the DNA constructs can be introduced directly to plant cells using ballistic methods, such as DNA particle bombardment. Alternatively, the DNA constructs are combined with suitable T-DNA flanking regions and introduced into a conventional Agrobacterium tumefaciens host vector. The virulence functions of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens host directs the insertion of the construct and adjacent markers into the plant cell DNA when the cell is infected by the bacteria.
Microinjection techniques are known in the art and well described in the scientific and patent literature. The introduction of DNA constructs using polyethylene glycol precipitation is described in Paszkowski, et al, EMBO J. 3:2717 (1984). Electroporation techniques are described in Fromm, et al, Proc. Nat 'I. Acad. Sci. USA 82:5824 (1985). Ballistic transformation techniques are described in Klein, et al, Nature 327:70-73 (1987).
Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation techniques, including disarming and use of binary vectors, are also well described in the scientific literature. See, for example Horsch, et al, Science 233:496-498 (1984), and Fraley, et al, Proc. Nat 'I. Acad. Sci. USA 80:4803 (1983). Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is a preferred method of transformation of dicots. Generation of Transgenic Plants Transformed plant cells which are derived by any of the above transformation techniques can be cultured to regenerate a whole plant which possesses the transformed genotype and thus the desired phenotype. Such regeneration techniques rely on manipulation of certain phytohormones in a tissue culture growth medium, typically relying on a biocide and/or herbicide marker which has been introduced together with the desired nucleotide sequences. Plant regeneration from cultured protoplasts is described in Evans, et al., Protoplasts Isolation and Culture. Handbook of Plant Cell Culture, pp. 124-176, Macmillian Publishing Company, New York, (1983); and Binding, REGENERATION OF PLANTS, PLANT PROTOPLASTS, pp. 21-73, CRC Press, Boca Raton, (1985). Regeneration can also be obtained from plant callus, explants, somatic embryos (Dandekar, et al, J. Tissue Cult. Meth. 12: 145 (1989); McGranahan, et al, Plant Cell Rep. 8:512 (1990)), organs, or parts thereof. Such regeneration techniques are described generally in Klee, et al, Ann. Rev. of Plant Phys. 38:467-486 (1987).
One of skill will recognize that after the expression cassette is stably incoφorated in transgenic plants and confirmed to be operable, it can be introduced into other plants by sexual crossing. Any of a number of standard breeding techniques can be used, depending upon the species to be crossed.
Discussion of the Accompanying Sequence Listing The accompanying sequence listing provides complete or partial sequences for a number of amplicons comprising the marker loci herein and for various primers and probe sequences useful in allele-specific hybridization, PCR and the like. The information is presented in DNA sequences. One of skill will readily understand that the sequence also fully describes the complementary strand of the provided DNA, i.e., by using standard base-pairing rules, the sequence of complementary DNA is provided and can be written out by any competent practitioner in the art. RNAs having the same sequence are provided by substituting "T" residues with "U" residues, and RNAs corresponding to the complementary strand are similarly provided. A variety of conservatively modified variations of the sequences are also fully provided. For example, coding regions denoted by open reading frames, beginning with the start codon "ATG" coding for methionine and optionally ending with a stop codon (TAA, TAG or TGA) can generally be modified by substituting codons which equivalently code for the same amino acid. The genetic code is well known, and is found in essentially all modern textbooks on Molecular Biology. See, e.g., Lewin (1995) Genes V Oxford University Press Inc. , NY (Lewin); and Watson et al. (1992) Recombinant DNA Second Edition Scientific American Books, NY. Accordingly, although the given sequences are preferred because of their hybridization characteristics (i.e., because the given sequences hybridize to genomic soybean DNA at polymoφhic loci) one of skill will recognize that, for coding puφoses, any coding sequence can be equivalently represented by any sequence having equivalent codons, and that recitation of a single sequence provides all of these coding sequences. In the interest of not providing clearly redundant information, all possible coding sequences are not written out separately. However, one of skill can easily do so with the information provided, by simple reference to the genetic code. Simple computer programs can also be used to list any or all such nucleic acids, given the provided sequence. For example, coding regions where the nucleotides TTT (coding for phenylalanine) appear are optionally substituted with TTC, and vice-versa. The codons TTA, TTG, CTT, CTC, CTA, CTG (coding for Leucine) are optionally substituted for one another, in any combination. Coding regions where ATT, ATC or ATA appear (all coding for isoleucine) are optionally substituted for one another. The codons GTT, GTC, GTA and GTG (all coding for valine) are all optionally substituted for one another. The codons TCT, TCC, TCA, AGT, TCG and AGC (all coding for serine) are optionally substituted for one another. The codons CCT, CCC, CCA and CCG (all coding for proline) are optionally substitued for one another. The codons
ACT, ACC, ACA, and ACG (all coding for threonine) are optionally substitued for one another. The codons GCT, GCC, GCA and GCG (all coding for alanine) are optionally substitued for one another. The codons TAT and TAC (all coding for tyrosine) are optionally substitued for one another. The codons TAA, TAG and TGA (all coding for stop codons) are optionally substitued for one another. The codons CAT and CAC (all coding for histadine) are optionally substitued for one another. The codons CAA and CAG (all coding for glutamine) are optionally substitued for one another. The codons AAT and AAC (all coding for asparagine) are optionally substitued for one another. The codons AAA and AAG (coding for lysine) are optionally substitued for one another. The codons GAA and GAG (coding for glutamic acid) are optionally substitued for one another. The codons TGT and TGC (coding for cyteine) are optionally substitued for one another. The codons CGT, CGC, CGA and CGG (coding for arginine) are optionally substitued for one another. The codons GGT, GGC, GGA and CCC (coding for glycine) are optionally substitued for one another.
Additional conservative substitutions are also provided by the given sequences. With respect to particular nucleic acid sequences, conservatively modified variants are those nucleic acids which encode identical or essentially identical amino acid sequences, or where the nucleic acid does not encode an amino acid sequence, to essentially identical sequences.
As to amino acid sequences, one of skill will recognize that individual substitutions, deletions or additions to a nucleic acid, peptide, polypeptide, or protein sequence which alters, adds or deletes a single amino acid or a small percentage of amino acids in the encoded sequence is a "conservatively modified variant" where the alteration results in the substitution of an amino acid with a chemically similar amino acid. Conservative substitution tables providing functionally similar amino acids are well known in the art. The following six groups each contain amino acids that are conservative substitutions for one another: 1) Alanine (A), Serine (S), Threonine (T); 2) Aspartic acid (D), Glutamic acid (E); 3) Asparagine (N), Glutamine (Q); 4) Arginine (R), Lysine (K); 5) Isoleucine (I), Leucine (L), Methionine (M), Valine (V); and 6) Phenylalanine (F), Tyrosine (Y), and Tryptophan (W).
Regarding nucleic acids, the amplicons and probes in the sequence listing are typically used in hybridization experiments, e.g., for marker-assisted selection. Accordingly, amplicons and probes which are substantially similar or identical, which can be used in the methods herein (e.g., intra-specific alleles, genetically engineered nucleic acids made, e.g., by modification of the provided sequences, and the like) are provided by the accompanying sequences. In particular, bases may be added, deleted or changed without substantially altering the hybridization properties of the nucleic acid. For example, bases which do not hybridize to a given probe can be modified without altering the hybridization properties of the probe to the given sequence. Modifications in such non-hybridizing regions (e.g., flanking regions) result in a nucleic acid which is essentially the same (has the same desired phsiochemical properties, i.e., hybridizes to the same probe) as the written sequence. For example, it will be appreciated that the amplicons are optionally larger than probes which hybridize to them. Accordingly, the regions which are not involved in hybridization are not essential for hybridization to a probe. Thus, where the nucleotide to be detected is a polymoφhic nucleotide, the regions of an amplicon flanking the polymoφhic nucleotide which do not hybridize to a probe (e.g., an allele-specific probe, as described, supra) are not critical for hybridization to the probe. One of skill will recognize that these regions are optionally modified.
One of skill will further recognize that the sequences in the sequence listing are optionally part of larger sequences, e.g., the nucleic acids can be cloned into vectors known in the art. See, Sambrook, Ausubel, Berger and Innis, all supra. Furthermore, subsequences of the given sequences are easily constructed, either by synthetically or recombinantly joining nucleotides to yield the subsequence. Typical subsequences are at least about 10 nucleotides, often at least about 20 nucleotides, generally often at least about 30 nucletoides, and optionally any length, e.g., 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900 or the like and can, of course, be full-length. Similarly, a subsequence can include, e.g. 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100% or any percentage between those listed of a particular full-length nucleic acid.
The subsequences are characterized by the ability to specifically hybridize to the complement of the full-length sequence, and by sequence identity with a sequence in the sequence listing over a selected comparison window. A "comparison window", as used herein, includes reference to a segment of any one of the number of contiguous positions selected from the group consisting of from 10 to 1000, usually about 20 to about 200, more usually about 100 to about 150 in which a sequence may be compared to a reference sequence of the same number of contiguous positions after the two sequences are optimally aligned. Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well-known in the art. Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison may be conducted by the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl Math. 2:482 (1981); by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol 48:443 (1970); by the search for similarity method of Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444 (1988); by computerized implementations of these algorithms (including, but not limited to CLUSTAL in the PC/Gene program by Intelligenetics, Mountain View, California, GAP, BESTFIT, BLAST, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group (GCG), 575 Science Dr. , Madison, Wisconsin, USA); the CLUSTAL program is well described by Higgins & Shaφ, Gene, 73:237-244 (1988) and Higgins & Shaφ CABIOS 5: 151-153 (1989); Coφet et al. , Nucleic Acids Research 16: 10881-10890 (1988); Huang et al. Computer Applications in the Biosciences 8: 155-165 (1992); and Pearson et al , Methods in Molecular Biology 24:307-331 (1994). Alignment is also often performed by inspection and manual alignment. One of skill can easily select a variety of nucleic acids which are identical to the given nucleic acids over any selected comparison window size. It will be recognized that where the window includes a nucleotide region to be detected (e.g., a locus), the remainder of the nucleic acid may be deleted or modified.
One of skill will also understand that sequencing technology is imperfect. Typical error rates for DNA sequencing are on the order of 1-5%, depending on the particular technology used for sequencing. Accordingly, one of skill will recognize that the amplicons of the sequence listing are most preferably obtained by amplifying a genomic nucleic acid (e.g., a genomic clone from a library or genomic nucleic acid isolated from a plant) using the primers described for the particular amplicon. However, the amplicons are also obtained by other means, including synthetic creation of a nucleic acid having the indicated sequence, or any other method described herein. Modifying Nucleic Acids in the Sequence Listing
One of skill will appreciate that many conservative variations of the nucleic acids in the sequence listing can be made using common techniques. For example, due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, "silent substitutions" (i.e., substitutions of a nucleic acid sequence which do not result in an alteration in an encoded polypeptide) are an implied feature of every nucleic acid sequence which encodes an amino acid. Similarly, "conservative amino acid substitutions," in one or a few amino acids in an amino acid sequence of a packaging or packageable construct, are substituted with different amino acids with highly similar properties (see, above) are also readily identified as being highly similar to a disclosed construct. Such conservatively substituted variations of each explicitly disclosed sequence are a feature of the present invention. Substantially identical nucleotides such as allelic variants or recombinantly engineered nucleic acids comprising all or a portion of a given sequence are also made using these standard techniques.
One of skill will recognize many ways of generating alterations in a given nucleic acid construct. Such well-known methods include site-directed mutagenesis, PCR amplification using degenerate oligonucleotides, exposure of cells containing the nucleic acid to mutagenic agents or radiation, chemical synthesis of a desired oligonucleotide (e.g., in conjunction with ligation and/or cloning to generate large nucleic acids) and other well-known techniques. See, Giliman and Smith (1979) Gene 8:81-97, Roberts et al. (1987) Nature 328:731-734 and Sambrook, Innis, Ausubel, Berger, Needham VanDevanter and Mullis (all supra). See also, Kilbey et al. (eds) (1984) Handbook of Mutagenicity Test Procedures. Second Edition Elsevier, New York.
One of skill can select a desired nucleic acid of the invention based upon the sequences provided and upon knowledge in the art regarding retroviruses generally. The specific effects of many mutations on hybridization, for instance, can be determined with virtual certainty, even in the absence of experimental information on a hybridization. Moreover, general knowledge regarding the nature of proteins and nucleic acids allows one of skill to select appropriate sequences with activity similar or equivalent to the nucleic acids in the sequence listings herein. Finally, most modifications to nucleic acids are evaluated by routine screening techniques in suitable assays for the desired characteristic. For instance, changes in the immunological character of encoded polypeptides can be detected by an appropriate immunological assay. Modifications of other properties such as nucleic acid hybridization to a complementary nucleic acid, redox or thermal stability of encoded proteins, hydrophobicity, susceptibility to proteolysis, or the tendency to aggregate are all assayed according to standard techniques, all of which are well-suited to high throughput selection. EXAMPLES The following examples are offered by way of illustration, and are not intended to be limiting. One of skill will immediately recognize a variety of alternate procedures, compositions, reagents and the like which can be substituted for those exemplified below.
Example 1 : Identification of Marker Loci
Marker loci must have multiple alleles to be used for genetic studies, genetic selection, and genetic identification within a species. We compared the DNA sequences among different soybean varieties and found new sequence polymoφhisms at 63 loci throughout the soybean genome. The alleles for these polymoφhisms are described in this example using allele-specific hybridization (ASH) as an example marker technology. We designed locus-specific oligonucleotide primers to amplify each locus by PCR, and designed allele-specific oligonucleotide probes to hybridize with and distinguish each allele. These polymoφhisms provide new opportunities to develop genetic-marker technology and to expand genetic-marker applications for the improvement of soybean.
A. Materials and Methods Identification of Sequence Polymorphisms
We selected soybean markers for conversion to ASH based on their genetic map locations. The objective was to have ASH markers well distributed around the soybean genome to maximize their general utility as markers and to have ASH markers near to genes of interest for marker-assisted selection and positional cloning of genetically linked genes, or other nucleic acids of interest. Map locations of RFLP markers were identified on Pioneer Hi-Bred International proprietary soybean marker maps and the USDA/ISU public soybean marker map (Shoemaker RC, Olson TC (1993) (Glycine max L. Merr).
P. 6131-6138. In O'Brien SJ (ed.) Genetic maps: Locus maps of complex genomes. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, New York). The linkage groups on the Pioneer Hi-Bred maps were named according to the USDA/ISU public map by cross referencing markers in common between the maps. Some marker loci selected for ASH development were homologous to cloned genomic soybean DNA. For these loci, fragments of genomic DNA were ligated into the Pstl restriction site of the commonly available pBS+ vector, transformed into E. coli strain DH5α using established protocols Keim P and Shoemaker RC (1988) Soybean Genet Newl 15: 147-148, and mapped as RFLP markers prior to selection for use as ASH probes. For a few other loci, genomic DNA fragments were ligated into the Lambda ZAP II vector, packaged, plated on E. coli strain XLl-Blue MRF', selected based on homology to a DNA probe and excised in pBluescript SK (-) phagemid in E. coli strain SOLR™ using ΕxAssist™ helper phage (Stratagene, La Jolla, California 92037 U.S.A.). Alternatively, selected DNA fragments were ligated into the pCR™ vector and transformed into E. coli according to the TA Cloning® Kit V2.1 (Invitrogen, San Diego, California 92121 U.S.A.) or cloned into LIC vector (PharMingen, San Diego, California 92121 U.S.A.) and transformed into E. coli strain DH5α. Plasmid DNA was isolated using the Magic™ or Wizard™ Miniprep systems (Promega, Madison, Wisconsin 53711 U.S.A.) or Nucleobond Ax kits (Macherey-Nagel, P.O. Box 10 13 52 D523 > 13 Duren, Germany). Minipreps were precipitated in 0.1 vol 7.5 M NH4Ac and 2.0 vols ΕtOH at -20° C for 20 min, spun in a microcentrifuge for 20 min, washed in 70% ΕtOH, dried, and dissolved in 10 mM Tris/HCl pH 8.5. Insert DNA was sequenced using the Taq DyeDeoxy terminator cycle sequencing reaction and a Perkin Elmer ABI 373 or 377 DNA sequencer. Sequencing primers were designed from the vector.
DNA sequence from each locus was then used to design forward and reverse PCR primers to amplify the locus from different soybean varieties. The primers were designed to have a dissociation temperature (Td) of approximately 60° C, using the formula:
Td = (((((3 x #GC) + (2 x #AT)) x 37) - 562) / #bp) - 5, where #GC, #AT, and #bp are the number of guanine-cytosine base pairs, the number of adenine-thymine base pairs, and the number of total base pairs, respectively, involved in the annealing of the primer to the template DNA. They were synthesized with a Perkin Elmer ABI 394 DNA/RNA Synthesizer using cyanoethyl phosphoramidite chemistry with the dimethoxytrityl protecting group removed, and were purified by desalting over a Pharmacia NAP10 column.
The PCR reaction mixture to amplify each desired locus consisted of 1.0 μM of the forward primer and 1.0 μM of the reverse primer, IX of buffer (20 mM Tripotassium citrate, 20 mM MgSO4, 40 mM Tris base, 10 mM Glycine, 5 mM L-Histidine, and 0.01 % Triton X-100), 240 μM of each dNTP, 0.4 U μh-- of Hot Tub DNA polymerase (Amersham Life Science, Arlington Heights, IL 60005 U.S. A), and 1.0 ng μ 1 of template DNA, all diluted in HPLC-grade H2O. The PCR reaction was done in 33 cycles with an initial denaturing for 2 min at 94° C, subsequent denaturing for 30 seconds at 94° C , annealing for 2 min at 58° C, and extension for 2.5 min at 70° C. A final extension was done for 3 min at 70° C. An aliquot of each PCR product was run on a 1-2% agarose gel and stained with EtBr for viewing under ultraviolet light.
Each amplicon was purified for sequencing using a QIAquick-spin PCR Purification Kit using the manufacturer's protocol (Qiagen, Chatsworth, California 91311 U.S.A.). If multiple bands were amplified from one PCR, all were individually extracted from the gel and purified using the QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen, Chatsworth, California 91311 U.S.A.). These products were then sequenced using the Taq DyeDeoxy terminator cycle sequencing reaction on a Perkin Elmer ABI 373 or 377 DNA sequencer. Each oligonucleotide primer used to amplify a DNA fragment by PCR was also used to prime the sequencing of that fragment from one end. When a DNA fragment was too large to sequence in one pass from each side, additional sequencing primers were designed from the initial amplicon sequence and used to obtain more sequence further inside the fragment. When multiple bands were produced from an original set of PCR primers, the sequences among these different fragments were compared and locus-specific primers were designed to amplify only the desired locus.
Eight soybean varieties (Table 1) used to compare DNA sequences and identify single-nucleotide polymoφhisms were progenitors to many modern North
American soybean varieties (Gizlice et al. (1994) Crop Sci 34: 1143-1151) and should, therefore, represent most alleles existing for each locus. Two varieties, BSR101 and PI437.654, were also sequenced for each locus because they were the parents to a population of recombinant- inbred soybean lines used to map many of the markers. These 10 varieties represent a broad range of maturity types and were considered genetically diverse by RFLP fingeφrinting analysis (unpublished data). The sequences of these 10 varieties were aligned and compared for differences at each locus. Table 1. Soybean varieties used to compare DNA sequence, their estimated contributions to modern North American varieties, and their relative maturity groups. BSRIOI and PI437.654 were included to identify marker alleles that could be genetically mapped in a recombinant- inbred population. Variety Percentage Contribution! Maturity Group

Design and Testing of ASH Markers
When single-nucleotide polymoφhisms or other polymoφhisms were found among the DNA sequences at each locus, several ASH oligonucleotide probes were designed, synthesized, and tested for each allele. The ASH probes were designed to have a dissociation temperature of about 37° C. They were synthesized with a Perkin Elmer ABI 394 DNA/RNA Synthesizer using (-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite chemistry with the dimethoxytrityl protecting group removed, and were purified by desalting over a Pharmacia NAP 10 column. The probes were tested against the 10 sequenced soybean varieties, 12 additional North American ancestor varieties, and 72 recombinant-inbred lines of the BSRIOI X PI437.654 mapping population. Probes were also tested for signal (hybridization of the correct probe) to noise (hybridization of the incorrect probe) ratios for each locus using the amplified target DNA from one variety in a dilution series. The dilution series were made using about 100 ng, 10 ng, and 1 ng of PCR-product (target) DNA.
Target DNA was attached to a Hybond N+ nylon membrane (Amersham Life Science, Arlington Heights, IL 60005 U.S. A) in the following manner. The membrane was soaked briefly in water and the excess water was removed from the membrane by blotting. Two microliters of the PCR product or diluted PCR product was pipetted onto the moist membrane. The membrane was placed on a blotter paper samrated with a DNA denaturing solution (0.6 M NaCI, 0.4 M NaOH), DNA side up, for two minutes. The membrane was then transferred to a blotter paper samrated with a neutralizing solution (0.5 M Tris pH7.5, 1.5 M NaCI) for 10 minutes. The membrane was then baked at 85-90° C for 1-2 hours and UV-crosslinked at 20,000 μJ. Prior to hybridization, each membrane was soaked in a hybridization- washing buffer (0.75 M Na, 0.5 M PO4, 1.0 mM disodium EDTA, and 1 % sarkosyl) for 30 min at 65° C, then in fresh buffer for 30 min to overnight at room temperature.
Each ASH probe was end-labeled with 32P transferred from the γ position of ATP by the T4 polynucleotide kinase reaction according to the kinase manufacturer's protocol (New England Biolabs, Beverly, Massachusetts 01915 U.S.A.). Hybridization of the probe and target DNA was done for at least one hour while shaking at 60 rpm at room temperature. Afterwards, the hybridization solution was discarded and the membrane was sequentially washed, each time in fresh solution, once for 2 min, once for 15 min, and twice for 30 min while shaking at 60 φm. The hybridized membrane was placed against X-ray film for 30 minutes to
18 hr at -80 ° C. The X-ray film was developed and the probe was evaluated for its hybridization characteristics. If necessary, the probe was redesigned and tested to increase the signal-to-noise ratio or signal strength.
Genetic Mapping of Soybean ASH Markers
Two segregating soybean populations were used to confirm the map location of each ASH marker relative to other markers in linkage groups. These two populations each consisted of about 300 recombinant-inbred lines from the crosses PI437.654 X BSRIOI and Bell X YB17E, respectively. The mapping procedure used and the population history for PI437.654 X BSRIOI were as already described (Webb et al (1995) Theor Appl Genet 91:574-581; Keim et al (1997) Crop Sci 37:537-543). The population from Bell X YB17E consisted of F5 6 lines. When possible, the linkage groups were identified with and named according to the USDA/Iowa State University public soybean map (Shoemaker and Olson 1993). Results
We identified DNA-sequence polymoφhisms at 63 independent loci in the soybean genome by comparing the DNA sequences among different soybean genotypes. These 63 loci were named (Table 2) according to pre-existing nomenclature. All were named as RFLP marker loci, except the loci php08320E, php08584A, php 10078 A and phpl0355B which were originally mapped as AFLP marker loci, the locus php 12105A which was only mapped as an ASH marker, and the locus SOYBPSP which was a soybean gene sequence in GENBANK (accession Ml 3759) for a 7S seed storage protein (Doyle et al. (1996) J Biol Chem 261:9228-9238). Of these 63 loci, only SOYBPSP was a known gene sequence and its nucleotide polymoφhism (which was previously unknown and identified by our sequencing) was found in an intron.
We designed forward and reverse PCR primers (Table 3) that amplified a region (the amplified product of the PCR reaction is an "amplicon") of each locus containing at least one nucleotide polymoφhism. Most of these loci had multiple polymoφhic nucleotide positions separated by monomoφhic nucleotides. When the distance between two polymoφhic nucleotides was greater than the size of a typical oligonucleotide hybridization probe, we considered each polymoφhic nucleotide position to be an independent sub-locus (Table 2). When the distance between two polymoφhic nucleotide positions was within the size of one oligonucleotide probe, we considered those polymoφhisms to be dependent and part of one sub-locus. We named each amplicon using the prefix 'pha' as an acronym for Pioneer Hi-Bred amplicon, followed by a unique identification number (Tables 2 and 3). Locus or amplicon names can both be used to refer to a DNA region containing specific polymoφhic sub-loci. The particular primer pairs described here produced amplicons ranging in length between 86 and 1880 base pairs. About half the amplicon sizes were estimated from bands viewed on agarose gels and about half were obtained by sequencing the entire amplicon region. Estimates from gels were accurate to within about 10% of the insert in size. The loci php05219A (amplicon phalll38) and phpl0355B (amplicon phall627) each produced two fragment sizes because each locus had an insertion-deletion event that varied among different soybean genotypes (Table 4).
One locus, pK079A, had two non-overlapping amplicons, pha 11074 and pha 11075. Two amplicons were needed for this locus because the DNA sequences flanking its two sub-loci were conserved at a second pK079 locus. A region of DNA between the two sub-loci was found to be different from the second pK079 locus so PCR primers specific to pK079A were designed for two amplicons, one for each sub-locus.
The polymoφhic nucleotides for each allele of each sub-locus were designated by upper-case letters within the probe sequences shown in Table 2. Each oligonucleotide probe distinguishes one allele of a sub-locus and locus. A public soybean variety representative of each allele is listed in Table 2 for the puφose of example.
The primer pairs and probes presented here enable the use of allele-specific hybridization (ASH) and many other techniques for detection of polymoφhisms at these loci. ASH was used here as an example marker technology for each polymoφhism. Other genetic marker technologies are equally effective as a means to exploit these polymoφhisms in soybean improvement programs. In addition, other DNA sequences than specifically shown here are used for primers and probes to detect these polymoφhisms, e.g., as described supra. Any DNA sequences flanking these polymoφhic nucleotides and within the size range amplifiable by PCR (up to 40Kb using long-distance PCR methods, although more typically about 2KB or less using standard PCR methods) are used as PCR primers to amplify the polymoφhic DNA, and the forward and reverse primers are designed from either DNA strand. Any DNA sequence containing the polymoφhic nucleotides and within the discriminatory capability of DNA hybridization conditions are used as hybridization probes to detect the polymoφhism. The probes are designed from either DNA strand.
The genetic map locations by linkage group for 43 of these 63 loci were established by mapping them as ASH markers in segregating populations (Table 2). Mapping showed the alleles of each locus to be heritable and to segregate normally in a recombinant-inbred population. When possible, the linkage-group names used here were the same as those used as a reference map for soybean (Shoemaker and Olson, 1993, supra.). Thirty eight of these 63 loci mapped as ASH markers to 17 linkage groups that correspond to the public reference map and 5 loci mapped to linkage groups on three other genetic maps that have not yet been identified with linkage groups on the public reference map. These later groups were named using a combination of letter (B, L or Z) and number. Twenty markers, pA059A, pA064A, pA077A, pA593A, pBLT15A, pK401A, pR153A, php02340B, php02396A, php05264A pA343A, pA748B, pA858A, pB132A, pG17.3A, php02371A, php05290A, php02329A, php02376A, and php08320E, were not mapped as ASH markers, but sixteen of their loci have been mapped as either RFLP or AFLP markers. Four loci, php02396A, php05264A, php02329A and php02376A have not been mapped as markers of any kind. Regardless of their map status, the 63 loci described here reside on most, and possibly all, of the 20 chromosome pairs in soybean. Table 2. Soybean marker loci: their genetic linkage group, sub-loci, and polymoφhic nucleotides, probe sequences for allele-specific hybridizations, and a representative soybean variety for each allele.

In the above, bases that are ambiguous are represented by an N. All bases noted within brackets are polymoφhic in some manner, i.e. differ between genotypes (but sequences are known and represented). Bracketed sequence notations that do not contain backslashes within them represent insertion/deletion events, i.e. the bracketed sequences occur in some genotypes but are deleted out in others. Bracketed bases before an after slashes are substituted in different genotypes, e.g. , the [AC/TT] notation indicates that some genotypes exhibit an AC sequence at this position and others exhibit a TT. Similarly, [TCTAG/TCTGG/TC/GTTAG] indicates that genotypes exhibited one of these four different sequences at this position, i.e., the nomenclature indicates that the site displays a combination of insertion events and single base polymoφhisms.
The nucleotide polymoφhisms described by this invention can reduce the expense and time required to exploit genetic markers in soybean improvement, seed production, and the protection of proprietary rights. We describe the use of allele-specific hybridization (ASH) as one technology that can be used to detect these polymoφhisms. Using these polymoφhisms with a technology such as ASH is less expensive and time consuming than other genetic marker methods. The polymoφhisms described here have the genetic advantages of being co-dominant and locus specific, and have the operational advantages of being obtained by PCR amplification from small quantities of DNA template and being detected without the use of gel electrophoresis.
Accordingly, the disclosures and descriptions herein are intended to be illustrative, but not limiting, of the scope of the invention which is set forth in the following claims. One of skill will recognize many modifications which fall within the scope of the following claims. For example, all of the methods and compositions herein may be used in different combinations to achieve results selected by one of skill. All publications and patent applications cited herein are incoφorated by reference in their entirety for all puφoses, as if each were specifically indicated to be incoφorated by reference.
