RESUMO
Double digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq) and target capture sequencing methods are used to explore population and phylogenetic questions in non-model organisms. ddRADseq offers a simple and reliable protocol for population genomic studies, however it can result in a large amount of missing data due to allelic dropout. Target capture sequencing offers an opportunity to increase sequencing coverage with little missing data and consistent orthologous loci across samples, although this approach has generally been applied to conserved markers for deeper evolutionary questions. Here, we combine both methods to generate high quality sequencing data for population genomic studies of all marine lobster species from the genus Jasus. We designed probes based on ddRADseq libraries of two lobster species (Jasus edwardsii and Sagmariasus verreauxi) and evaluated the captured sequencing data in five other Jasus species. We validated 4,465 polymorphic loci amongst these species using a cost effective sequencing protocol, of which 1,730 were recovered from all species, and 4,026 were present in at least three species. The method was also successfully applied to DNA samples obtained from museum specimens. This data will be further used to assess spatial-temporal genetic variation in Jasus species found in the Southern Hemisphere.

Elevated heart rate (HR) is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The goal of the study was to map HR trait in mice using quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis followed by genome-wide association (GWA) analysis. The first approach provides mapping power and the second increases genome resolution. QTL analyses were performed in a C3HeB×SJL backcross. HR and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were measured by the tail-cuff plethysmography. HR was â¼80 beats/min higher in SJL compared with C3HeB. There was a wide distribution of the HR (536-763 beats/min) in N2 mice. We discovered a highly significant QTL (logarithm of odds = 6.7, P < 0.001) on chromosome 7 (41 cM) for HR in the C3HeB×SJL backcross. In the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel (58 strains, n = 5-6/strain) we found that HR (beats/min) ranged from 546 ± 12 in C58/J to 717 ± 7 in MA/MyJ mice. SBP (mmHg) ranged from 99 ± 6 in strain I/LnJ to 151 ± 4 in strain BXA4/PgnJ. GWA analyses were done using the HMDP, which revealed a locus (64.2-65.1 Mb) on chromosome 7 that colocalized with the QTL for elevated HR found in the C3HeB×SJL backcross. The peak association was observed for 17 SNPs that are localized within three GABA(A) receptor genes. In summary, we used a combined genetic approach to fine map a novel elevated HR locus on mouse chromosome 7.
