Population genetic structure of stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) in 197 adult specimens from four fishery regions along the Iranian coastline of the southern Caspian Sea was investigated using microsatellite markers. Out of 15 microsatellite primers, 11 loci were produced, in which 10 of them were polymorphic and 1 was monomorph. Totally, 184 alleles were identified and on average 13.1 a...

Four temporal populations of Echinostoma revolutum (ER1, ER2, ER3, ER4) were collected from domestic ducks in Khon Kaen Province, Thailand during February-October 2008. The ER1, ER2, ER3 and ER4 were collected in February, April, June and October, respectively. The 12 enzymes encoding 15 loci were examined. Two loci were found in each of 3 enzymes, namely glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD...

Aspergillus flavus infects both plants and humans and contaminates diverse agricultural crops with aflatoxins, highly carcinogenic fungal metabolites. We describe 24 microsatellite markers developed to assess genetic diversity and recombination within and between three vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) of Aspergillus flavus. These loci are polymorphic within at least one VCG or between VCG...

We characterized 15 microsatellite loci for the lowland leopard frog (Rana yavapaiensis) and the relict leopard frog (R. onca) for future studies of population genetic structure and relatedness. Analysis of 20 individuals from single populations of each species showed that all markers were polymorphic in at least one species. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0 to 0.94 and from...

in an attempt to characterize theileria parva parasites circulating in south sudan cattle , polymerase chain reaction (pcr)-based assays were carried out using four single copy encoding antigen genes p104, pim, p150 and p67 in addition to one microsatellite ms321. a total of 20 bovine dna samples from two locations in south sudan were included in this study, in addition to two references strain...

There is a lack of information on the molecular characterization of Ocimum species and hence, efforts have been made under the present study to characterize 17 Ocimum genotypes belonging to 5 different species (O. basilicum, O. americanum, O. sanctum, O. gratissimum and O. Polystachyon) through random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers. PCR amplifi...

Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is an economically important species in China. Contrary to its rapidly increasing yield during the last decades, domestic genetic diversity of largemouth has gradually declined. In this study, 37 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were developed based on genotyping-by-sequencing data and characterized by genotyping 32 individuals using PCR–restr...
