Paternity exclusion and probability of paternity.
The principles of paternity exclusion and current systems of paternity testing are reviewed. Recent advances, especially the utilization of human leukocyte antigens (HLA), have greatly improved the likelihood of exclusion of the innocent accused male. Failure to exclude an alleged father through multiple test systems increases the suspicion that he is the biological father. This can be expresse...
متن کاملEvolution of hypervariable microsatellites in apomictic polyploid lineages of Ranunculus carpaticola: directional bias at dinucleotide loci.
Microsatellites are widely used in genetic and evolutionary analyses, but their own evolution is far from simple. The mechanisms maintaining the mutational patterns of simple repeats and the typical stable allele-frequency distributions are still poorly understood. Asexual lineages may provide particularly informative models for the indirect study of microsatellite evolution, because their geno...
متن کاملMultiple Paternity in White-tailed Deer (odocoileus Virginianus) Revealed by Dna Microsatellites
Multiple paternity in single litters (siring of offspring by .1 male) has been documented in several taxa with different mating systems. However, information on occurrence of multiple paternity in ungulates is lacking. We used 19 DNA microsatellite markers to assign parentage in 41 litters of captive white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) born in 6 pens with multiple males during 1997–1999....
متن کاملMicrosatellites indicate a high frequency of multiple paternity in Apodemus (Rodentia).
Microsatellites were employed to estimate frequency of multiple paternity litters of two species of mice (genus Apodemus): striped field mouse (A. agrarius), and wood mouse (A. sylvaticus). Ten pregnant females of A. agrarius and six of A. sylvaticus were collected from natural populations in the northern Ukraine and analysed with 11 and nine microsatellite loci, respectively. Multiple paternit...
متن کاملHypervariable microsatellites provide a general source of polymorphic DNA markers for the chloroplast genome
BACKGROUND The study of plant populations is greatly facilitated by the deployment of chloroplast DNA markers. Asymmetric inheritance, lower effective population sizes and perceived lower mutation rates indicate that the chloroplast genome may have different patterns of genetic diversity compared to nuclear genomes. Convenient assays that would allow intraspecific chloroplast variability to be ...
