DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW SET OF MICROSATELLITE MARKERS FOR CHICKENS By
نویسنده
چکیده
Analyses of genetic structure and gene flow would provide information on the distance, direction and rate of dispersal of genes in specific populations. Thirty-six microsatellite markers (MS) have been developed within specific regions containing genes controlling chicken body weight and quality. Based on genetic marker positions in the chicken genome, the approximate genetic distances of these MS loci were determined. A total of 30 out of 36 markers (83.33%) were polymorphic with an average of 2.7 alleles per locus. The results suggest that approximately 30 of the new microsatellite markers for chicken called SCM (Suez Canal Microsatellite Marker) will undoubtedly facilitate the application of MS in genetic researches and marker-assisted breeding.

Genetic Diversity of Iranian and Some of European Grapesrevealed by Microsatellite Markers
In order to characterize Iranian grape (Vitis vinifera L.) germplasm, 136 genotypes were collected from five grape growing regions (Azarbaijan, Qazvin, Kordestan, Khorasan and Fars) and genotyped along with 36 European cultivars using 9 sequence tagged microsatellite sites (STMS) markers. The used set of markers could distinguish all 172 genotypes under study. Altogether 84 polymorphic alleles ...

متن کاملDevelopment of disomic single-locus DNA microsatellite markers for Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) from the Caspian Sea
Understanding the scale at which wild stocks of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) are genetically discrete is necessary for effective management of this commercially important species. Disomic DNA microsatellite markers are among the best tools for determining stock structure in fishes. As all sturgeon species have a polyploid ancestry of all sturgeons, most gene loci exhibit more than two ...

متن کاملAssessing genetic diversity of promising wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) lines using microsatellite markers linked with salinity tolerance
Narrow genetic variability may lead to genetic vulnerability of field crops against biotic and abiotic stresses which can cause yield reduction. In this study a set of 37 wheat microsatellite markers linked with identified QTLs for salinity tolerance were used for the assessment of genetic diversity for salinity in 30 promising lines of hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). A total of 4...
