Characterization of Trypanozoon isolates using a repeated coding sequence and microsatellite markers.

چکیده
Genetic variation of microsatellite loci is a widely used method for linkage analysis, individual identification or inter-population studies. Here we analyse a repeated DNA coding sequence and eleven new microsatellites identified within the Trypanosoma (Trypanozoon) brucei genome. Ninety-seven isolates belonging to the five species and subspecies Trypanosoma evansi, T. equiperdum, T. brucei brucei, T. b. rhodesiense and T. b. gambiense were compared regarding the genetic patterns of these markers. The results reveal a great heterogeneity of the genotypes related to the repeated coding sequence and five microsatellites, some of which show a high degree of polymorphism. This allows us to define group-specific genotypes or alleles; in particular, we show that one specific pattern clearly segregates the human pathogen T. b. gambiense group I.

Random amplified microsatellite polymorphism (RAMP) is a PCR-based marker which uses a combination of two classes of markers: Simple sequence repeat (SSR) and Random amplified DNA polymorphism (RAPD) markers. RAMP has been demonstrated to be a potentially valuable molecular marker for the study of genetic relationships in cultivated plant species. The objective of this study was to optimize the...

Population genetic structure of Vimba vimba persa was investigated using microsatellite markers from 40 regions along the Iranian coastline of the Southern Caspian Sea (Anzali lagoon and Havigh River in Gilan province, BabolRoud River in Mazandaran province and GorganRoud River in Golestan province). Genomic DNA from 121 specimens was extracted from fin tissue by the Phenol-Chlorophorm method ...

In this study, Simple Sequence Repeat markers (SSR) were used to investigate the genetic variation between 49 cumin ecotypes collected from 9 different provinces of Iran. SSR primers Elap1479, Elap040 and Elap1493 showed the highest (89%), while Elap1340 and Elap017 showed the lowest (56%) number of polymorphic bands. Polymorphism information content (PIC) values varied between 0.18 - 0.37. The...
