The genetic structure of the genus Alburnus is not well known and the phylogenetic relationships among its species are uncertain. In the present study, simple sequence repeats (SSRs or microsatellites) were used to evaluate genetic diversity and genetic differentiation between Alburnus mossulensis Heckel, 1843 from Kashgan River in Lorestan province and Alburnus caeruleus Heckel, 1843 from Gama...

Objective(s): Variation in microsatellite sequences that are dispersed in the genome has been linked to a deficiency in cellular mismatch repair system and defects in several genes of this system are involved in carcinogenesis. Our aim in this study was to illustrate microsatellite DNA alteration in esophageal cancer. Materials and Methods: DNA was extracted from formalin fixed paraffin embedde...

Primers previously designed to amplify microsatellite DNA markers in the Old World bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, larvae were tested in three closely related species: the corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea, tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens, and Heliothis subflexa. Of the fourteen loci surveyed, only four loci (HaB60, HaC14, HaC87, HarSSR1) consistently demonstrated scorable single-copy microsat...

PURPOSE A linkage study on autosomal recessive high myopia (arHM) has not been reported, although several loci for autosomal dominant high myopia (adHM) have been mapped. Data from a consanguineous Chinese family with arHM were collected to map the genetic locus associated with this condition. METHODS Phenotypic information and DNA samples were collected from family members. A genome-wide lin...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY New microsatellites were developed for the seagrass Thalassia hemprichii (Hydrocharitaceae), a long-lived seagrass species that is found throughout the shallow waters of tropical and subtropical Indo-West Pacific. Three multiplex PCR panels were designed utilizing new and previously developed markers, resulting in a toolkit for generating a 16-locus genotype. ...

Although much research has been conducted, the pattern of microsatellite distribution has remained ambiguous, and the development/utilization of microsatellite markers has still been limited/inefficient in Brassica, due to the lack of genome sequences. In view of this, we conducted genome-wide microsatellite characterization and marker development in three recently sequenced Brassica crops: Bra...

Population declines have been documented in many species within the genus Neotoma. Eastern woodrat, Neotoma floridana, recovery efforts Shawnee National Forest (SNF), Illinois USA provided an opportunity to study long-term population-level genetic changes following augmentation and reintroduction. We developed 24 microsatellite markers using QDD genotyped 32 eastern woodrats from a single popul...

Context Coxiella burnetii is suspected as a novel pathogen contributing to decreased pup production in Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus). It has recently been described from single breeding colony Bass Strait, previously associated with two decreasing populations of northern hemisphere pinnipeds and known reproductive pathogen. Data around its disease ecology marine mammal...

Ten novel microsatellite markers were developed and characterized from Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens). Nine of ten markers were polymorphic, exhibiting an allelic number (NA) from 2 to 6 alleles per locus. The effective number of alleles (NE) ranged from 1.60 to 3.08 (average of 2.30). The observed (HO) and expected (HE) heterozygosities ranged from 0.13 to 0.67 (average of 0.39) and 0...

The allelofund of Ayrshire cattle the Komi Republic (n=340) and Kirov region (n=32) was evaluated using microsatellite DNA markers. It found that in studied populations, TGLA227 locus most polymorphic – 9 alleles, BM1824 TGLA126 loci had least alleles (3-4). allele 214 INRA23 (q=0.7387) with highest frequency Republic, 115 (q=0.7083) among animals region. average number per samples slightly hig...
