Method for extracting DNA from feces of cuora flavomarginata
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for extracting DNA from cistoclemmys flavomarginata excrement, and belongs to the technical field of DNA separation and purification.
Background
The Yellow-margined Box Turtle (Cistoclemys flavomarginata, Yellow-margined Box Turtle) belongs to the order Testudiniales (Testudinata), the family Rhynchosiales (Geoemydia), the genus Tortoise (Cistoclemys). The dorsum concha margin is yellow in the abdomen and has a golden yellow stripe on the eye socket, so the name is obtained. The yellow box turtles are mainly distributed in Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangsu, Henan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Taiwan and other places in China, and are also distributed in Japan of neighboring countries. Our provinces are mainly distributed in Lin' an, Jian De, an Ji, Long tour, Tiantai, Xinchang, etc. The cuora flavomarginata is a precious material in turtles, is a high-grade tonic, and has high medicinal value and great ornamental value. In recent years, due to artificial transition capture, wild cuora flavomarginata resources and habitats thereof are seriously damaged, and the wild number is sharply reduced. In 1998 the population was listed as a rare or endangered animal in the country and in 2006 as an endangered animal population in the united nations (IUCN, 2006). In addition to human factors, the wild cuora flavomarginata grows slowly, and in addition, the mating environment, the hatching condition and the like of the wild cuora flavomarginata are slightly different from the optimal condition due to frequent occurrence of global warming and severe abnormal weather, so the egg laying amount after sexual maturity is extremely small, the fertility rate, the hatching rate and the survival rate are extremely low, and the sex differentiation and the like of the wild cuora flavomarginata also have great influence, so that the wild population is endangered to be extinct.
At present, germplasm resource investigation of wild box turtles in our province and genetic relationship analysis and identification with wild species in adjacent provinces are not effectively carried out, and the development of pseudoecological domestication and breeding of the box turtles is still in an exploration stage. However, the growth period of the cuora flavomarginata is long, the difference between pure lines and hybrid cuora flavomarginata in the juvenile cuora flavomarginata period is small, and the characters of the rare cuora flavomarginata can be displayed after 6-8 years of culture, so that a large culture risk is generated. The traditional sample for DNA extraction is mainly derived from blood or tissue blocks, but for wild endangered animals, the blood taking and the tissue block obtaining both have damage to the animals and possibly bring about disease infection, and have certain hidden danger for the survival of the animals.
The present application was made based on this.
