Segregation and genetic linkage analyses of river catfish, Mystus nemurus, based on microsatellite markers

Comparative Analyses of the Genetic Diversity Among Bread Wheat Genotypes Based on RAPD and SSR Markers

Development of a genetic linkage map of rubber tree (Hevea braziliensis) based on microsatellite markers

Background Rubber tree (Hevea spp.) is the main natural rubber producing crop, and it is cultivated in numerous equatorial, tropical and subtropical areas. Hevea spp. is an outcrossing perennial species and belongs to the botanical family Euphorbiaceae. Breeding of rubber tree, like for many other tree crops, is a long term process. Large scale cultivation of a new cultivar can only be reached ...

Genetic architecture and bottleneck analyses of Salem Black goat breed based on microsatellite markers

Aim: The present study was undertaken in Salem Black goat population for genetic analysis at molecular level to exploit the breed for planning sustainable improvement, conservation and utilization, which subsequently can improve the livelihood of its stakeholders. Materials and Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from blood samples of 50 unrelated Salem Black goats with typical phenotypic feature...

Microsatellite markers for linkage and association studies.

During the 1990s and the first several years of this century, microsatellites or short tandem repeats were the workhorse genetic markers for hypothesis-independent studies in human genetics, facilitating genome-wide linkage studies and allelic imbalance studies. However, the rise of higher throughput and cost-effective single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) platforms led to the era of the SNP for...

Genetic variability of watermelon accessions based on microsatellite markers.

We analyzed the genetic variability of 40 watermelon accessions collected from 8 regions of Northeastern Brazil using microsatellite markers, in order to suggest strategies of conservation and utilization of genetic variability in this species. These accessions are not commercial cultivars. They were sampled in areas of traditional farmers that usually keep their own seeds for future plantings ...
