摘要
Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) has been used to measure the degree of genetic variability of the marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. Genetic polymorphisms were detected in 33 of a total of 86 polypeptides scored among the most abundant proteins from foot samples in 38 individuals. Estimates of average heterozygosity were 0.101±0.018 and 0.114±0.021 in a natural and a cultured population, respectively, from the NW of the Iberian Peninsula. These are the highest estimates of average heterozygosity reported by 2-DE in an animal species to date. We consider that these data throw open the question of the level of genetic variability detectable by two-dimensional electrophoresis. Multilocus genotype data were used to infer haplotypic frequencies by means of the EM algorithm in order to detect linkage disequilibrium between loci coding abundant proteins. Significant associations were found in 22.7% of the 406 two-locus pairs analysed. Also, clusters of loci in which all pairwise combinations exhibit statistically significant associations were detected and physical linkage between some of these loci is postulated from the linkage disequilibrium data.
