The use of AFLP to find an informative SNP: genetic differences across a migratory divide in willow warblers.
We used the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) method to obtain genetic markers distinguishing two subspecies of willow warblers Phylloscopus trochilus that have different migratory behaviours but are not differentiated in mitochondrial DNA or at several microsatellite loci. With the inverse-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approach we converted a dominant AFLP-marker to a codominant ...

متن کاملPopulation-genetic basis of haplotype blocks in the 5q31 region.
We investigated patterns of nucleotide variation in the 5q31 region identified by Daly et al. as containing haplotype blocks, to determine whether the blocklike pattern requires the assumption of hotspots in recombination. Using extensive simulations that generate data matched to the Daly et al. data set in (a) the method of ascertainment of single-nucleotide polymorphisms, (b) the heterozygosi...
متن کاملGene expression in the brain of a migratory songbird during breeding and migration.
BACKGROUND We still have limited knowledge about the underlying genetic mechanisms that enable migrating species of birds to navigate the globe. Here we make an attempt to get insight into the genetic architecture controlling this complex innate behaviour. We contrast the gene expression profiles of two closely related songbird subspecies with divergent migratory phenotypes. In addition to comp...
متن کاملDifferences in corneal phenotypes between destrin mutants are due to allelic difference and modified by genetic background
PURPOSE Mutations in destrin (Dstn) cause corneal abnormalities in mice. A null mutation, Dstn(corn1), results in corneal epithelial hyperproliferation, inflammation, and neovascularization in the A.BY background (A.BY Dstn(corn1)). Homozygosity for a point mutation, Dstn(corn1-2J), results in mild thickening of the corneal epithelium but no corneal neovascularization in a C57BL/6 (B6) backgrou...
