Fifty-Four New Gene-Based Canine Microsatellite Markers

Fifty-four new gene-based canine microsatellite markers.

Fifty-four new markers were developed to fill in gaps in the current map of canine microsatellites and to complement existing markers that may not be sufficiently informative in highly inbred canine pedigrees. Canine genes contained on the radiation hybrid map were used to obtain the sequence of the human homolog. A BLAST search versus the canine whole genome shotgun (wgs) sequence resource was...

DEVELOPMENT OF GENE-BASED MICROSATELLITE MARKERS IN Acer saccharum MARSH

Genetic epidemiology of osteoporosis across four microsatellite markers near the VDR gene.

The large amount of positive genetic association data in a number of bone diseases suggests functional consequences of Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism. In the present study, four microsatellite markers viz., D12S1633, D12S1635, D12S347, and D12S96, that lie in the vicinity of the VDR gene on chromosome 12 were selected to assess the allele distribution pattern and diversity among thr...

Genetic Diversity of Four Cattle Breeds Using Microsatellite Markers

Four cattle breeds (Gyr, Nellore, Guzerat and Holstein) were analyzed by amplification of genomic DNA using microsatellite loci to evaluate the genetic diversity within and among them. DNA samples of 18 animals from each breed were collected to access the genetic content of them. Allele frequencies were calculated and used to generate a Nei’s genetic distance matrix what was used to build a den...

Trauma Fifty-Four.

963 October 2015 Anesthesiology, V 123 • No 4 963 October 2015 TThank you, Trauma Fifty-Four. Although our encounter was extremely brief, you had such an impact on all of us. You never said a word. There was never any eye contact. I didn’t even know your name until the next day when it was broadcast on the local news. You left this world, only 34 minutes after we met. At that moment, I noticed ...
