Mitochondrial DNA Polymorphism in Jindo Dogs.

Study of the Human Mitochondrial DNA Polymorphism

Polymorphism of the Mitochondrial DNA Control Region

Intraspecific and interspecific nucleotide sequence variations of the mtDNA control region (D-loop) were studied with mtDNAs isolated from tissue specimens of more than 1400 sturgeons of nine species: Russian sturgeon Acipenser gueldenstaedtii , Persian sturgeon A. persicus , Siberian sturgeon A. baerii , Amur sturgeon A. schrenkii , Fringebarbel sturgeon A. nudiventris , sterlet A. ruthenus , ...

Behavioral reactivity of Jindo dogs socialized at an early age compared with non-socialized dogs.

The aim of this study was to determine whether socialized Jindo puppies would show different behavioral reactivity from non-socialized puppies. Puppies (n=12), 7 weeks of age, were divided into socialized and non-socialized groups. The socialized group from the 7th until 13th week after birth was provided a socialization program, and the non-socialized group was reared in a semi-isolated enviro...

Heterogeneous tissue distribution of a mitochondrial DNA polymorphism in heteroplasmic subjects without mitochondrial disorders.

CONTEXT Several maternally inherited point mutations of the mitochondrial genome cause mitochondrial disorders, but the correlation between genotype and phenotype remains obscure in many cases. The same mutation may cause various diseases, probably because of a different tissue distribution. OBJECTIVE To assess the role of random somatic segregation in generating interperson differences by an...

Application of mitochondrial DNA polymorphism to meloidogyne molecular population biology.

Recent advances in molecular biology have enabled the genotyping of individual nematodes, facilitating the analysis of genetic variability within and among plant-pathogenic nematode isolates. This review first describes representative examples of how RFLP, RAPD, AFLP, and DNA sequence analysis have been employed to describe populations of several phytonematodes, including the pinewood, burrowin...
