Genome-wide detection and characterization of positive selection in human populations

With the advent of dense maps of human genetic variation, it is now possible to detect positive natural selection across the human genome. Here we report an analysis of over 3 million polymorphisms from the International HapMap Project Phase 2 (HapMap2). We used 'long-range haplotype' methods, which were developed to identify alleles segregating in a population that have undergone recent selection, and we also developed new methods that are based on cross-population comparisons to discover alleles that have swept to near-fixation within a population. The analysis reveals more than 300 strong candidate regions. Focusing on the strongest 22 regions, we develop a heuristic for scrutinizing these regions to identify candidate targets of selection. In a complementary analysis, we identify 26 non-synonymous, coding, single nucleotide polymorphisms showing regional evidence of positive selection. Examination of these candidates highlights three cases in which two genes in a common biological process have apparently undergone positive selection in the same population:LARGE and DMD, both related to infection by the Lassa virus, in West Africa;SLC24A5 and SLC45A2, both involved in skin pigmentation, in Europe; and EDAR and EDA2R, both involved in development of hair follicles, in Asia.

Mitochondrial DNA variation analysis suggests extreme low genetic diversity in Guizhou snub-nosed monkeys （Rhinopithecus brelichi）

Guizhou snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus brelichi) is a unique, endangered primate in China, mainly distributed in Fanjing Mountain National Natural Reserve, Guizhou Province, in an area of 275 km2. Recently, habitat loss and fragmentation have caused population isolation. To assess genetic diversity within this species and its population structure, we sequenced 400 bp of the hypervariable I segment from the mitochondrial DNA control region for 128 individuals. Only one haplotype was identified from these individuals. Compared with other primate species, R. brelichi can be regarded as a species with very low genetic diversity, which further adds to the conservation concern.     

PMSM矢量控制下逆变器母线电流频谱分析

逆变器直流母线电流频谱的准确解析是对电磁干扰进行分析及母线电容选取的重要理论基础。针对永磁同步(PMSM)作为负载时逆变器直流母线电流频谱的数学表达和理论求解方法分析了相电压基波和高次谐波对应的等效阻抗。分析得出:非凸极PMSM各次谐波对应的视在电感相等并且恒定;凸极式PMSM的基波电流可以在直轴和交轴上进行相量分解,其对应电感为直轴和交轴电感,高次谐波对应的电感随着转子的位置变化。理论计算时可以通过忽略高次谐波或取平均电感的方法来进行近似。给出了母线电流频谱计算的方法与过程。仿真和实验都证明了本文给出的计算方法及公式的正确性和有效性。     

Genome sequence and analysis of the tuber crop potato

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world's most important non-grain food crop and is central to global food security. It is clonally propagated, highly heterozygous, autotetraploid, and suffers acute inbreeding depression. Here we use a homozygous doubled-monoploid potato clone to sequence and assemble 86% of the 844-megabase genome. We predict 39,031 protein-coding genes and present evidence for at least two genome duplication events indicative of a palaeopolyploid origin. As the first genome sequence of an asterid, the potato genome reveals 2,642 genes specific to this large angiosperm clade. We also sequenced a heterozygous diploid clone and show that gene presence/absence variants and other potentially deleterious mutations occur frequently and are a likely cause of inbreeding depression. Gene family expansion, tissue-specific expression and recruitment of genes to new pathways contributed to the evolution of tuber development. The potato genome sequence provides a platform for genetic improvement of this vital crop.     

海口市优势水产品重点养殖区病害调查及分析

2007-2009年,对演丰、三江、灵山、大致坡、红旗、长流、西秀、府城等重点养殖区的罗非鱼(Tilapia sp.)、对虾(Penaeus sp.)养殖水体进行现场调查和分析研究,初步摸清了近3年病害的种类、流行、发病特点及造成的损失情况.细菌性、病毒性疾病是罗非鱼、对虾的主要病害,特别是白斑病、红体病、链球菌病、底死症、高温综合症等发病非常普遍.7-9月份为罗非鱼发病高峰期;3-5月份和9-11月份为对虾发病高峰期.多数病害在调查区域均有分布,发病后死亡率较高.2007-2009年海口市水产病害死亡造成的直接经济损失近281万元.     

一种基于标记点的近景摄影测量系统

给出了一种基于标记点的鲁棒三维重建摄影测量系统;采用编码点和非编码点等标记点方式.为了减少不同图像间误匹配的概率,采用一种新的基于编码点的匹配方法,不同图像间非编码点的匹配从编码点开始,并通过相似性准则、模糊度准则和距离误差准则来剔除误匹配,可获得非常高的正确匹配率.采用一种新的基于标记点的加权迭代特征算法,用编码点恢复相机的投影矩阵,从而可以确定相机的外部姿态参数;用非编码点恢复3D坐标.与已有的加权迭代特征算法比较,该算法避免了所有点参与计算相机的投影矩阵,运算速度更快.由于采用标记点的亚像素定位方法,提高了3D重建精度.实验结果表明,在3D重建方面,该系统是强壮和精确的.
