چکیده
Objective. To analyze the genetic variability in two populations of the native canine breed “Uruguayan Cimarron” from different areas of the country. Materials and methods. DNA was isolated from 40 animals of the Cimarron breed. Using PCR, 11 RAPD (random amplified polymorphism of DNA) molecular markers were analyzed. Results. 14.9% of loci were polymorphic. We found an index of shared bands of 0.91, a genetic distance of 0.16 and a Nei’s average diversity index of 0.08. Conclusions. Both populations present a high homogeneity and genetic identity for these markers suggesting that they belong to a common genetic nucleus.

“Defense” injuries in attacks on humans by domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) and jaguar (Panthera onca)
This communication describes two attacks by domestic and wild carnivores in Caceres County, localized in the Pantanal area, an extensive flooded plain in Mato Grosso State, Midwest region of Brazil. The first attack took place in an urban area and was caused by a Rottweiler dog (Canis lupus familiaris) created by the family of the victim. Another attack occurred in a rural area, caused by a jag...

El vertiginoso avance de las técnicas de la biología molecular, con apoyo de la antropología, permite en la actualidad detectar procesos demográficos de las poblaciones humanas. Fenómenos migratorios, expansiones poblacionales y mezclas de grupos, entre otros, quedan reflejados en la composición genética de las poblaciones actuales. Por ello el estudio de diferentes marcadores moleculares en mu...
متن کاملUse of RAPD technique in evolution studies of four species in the family Canidae.
The RAPD-PCR technique was applied to identify genetic markers able to distinguish between four canid species: the arctic fox (Alopex lagopus), red fox (Vulpes vulpes), Chinese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides) and six breeds of the domestic dog (Canis familiaris). A total of 29 ten-nucleotide arbitrary primers were screened for their potential use in the differentiation of th...
متن کاملAnalysis of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) for identifying genetic markers associated with canine hip dysplasia.
Canine hip dysplasia is a heritable developmental disease resulting, in part, from increased laxity in hip joints and is a precursor to degenerative joint disease. Identification of genetic markers linked to joint laxity would foster development of more accurate diagnostic methods, facilitate identification of the disease gene(s), and supplement efforts to establish physical/genetic maps of the...

Based on a joint three factor a¢ ne model, we estimate the term structure of interest rates and default spreads for Uruguay using the reduced form approach developed by Du¢ e and Singleton. We nd that Uruguayan average term structure was negatively sloped between 1997 and 2003, as indicated by previous empirical evidence for low quality debtors. Surprisingly, Uruguayan average yield curve w...
