Thirteen polymorphic tri- and tetranucleotide microsatellite markers are reported for the exploited marine dhufish (Glaucosoma hebracium) from southwestern Australia. Variation was assessed among 48 individuals collected from a single locality. Most loci had 2-5 alleles, although one had more than 20 alleles, with corresponding observed heterozygosities of 0.02-0.81. These loci were also polymo...

We characterized 10 microsatellite loci for the plant Heliconia acuminata from the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (Manaus, Brazil). Markers were screened in 61 individuals from one population and were found to be polymorphic with an average of eight alleles per locus. We found moderate to high levels of polymorphic information content, and observed and expected heterozygosities...

Here, we analyzed the distribution of H-FABP/(HinfI, MspI, and HaeIII) and ACSL4/RsaI polymorphisms, and the associations of these 4 polymorphic loci with intramuscular fat (IMF) content and backfat thickness (BFT) in Yanan, Jinhua, Duroc, Landrace, Yorkshire, and Duroc x (Landrace x Yorkshire) (DLY) pigs. H-FABP/HinfI polymorphisms were present in all the 6 populations. At the ACSL4/RsaI locus...

objective(s): short tandem repeat (str) loci are the most informative dna genetic markers for attempting to individualize biological material for application in paternity and forensic cases. materials and methods: blood samples were collected and the total genomic dna was extracted. the dna samples were used for genotyping vwa and tpox str loci using pcr and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. ...

Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to authenticate ramets of 11 Persian walnut ( Juglans regia L.) varieties. All varieties and 28 their (n = 39) genotyped with 17 SSR markers. The genetic profiles revealed two off-types: the Serr 4 (S4) Vina 1 (V1). fingerprints individuating possible using 13 polymorphic SSRs that could be in future identify clones these Except for ‘Chandler’, eac...

In the present study, thirty autosomal insertion and deletion polymorphic loci were simultaneously amplified and genotyped in a multiplex system, and their allelic frequencies as well as several forensic parameters were obtained in a sample of 236 unrelated healthy Tujia individuals. All the loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium after applying a Bonferroni correction and all pair-wise loci sh...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite loci were developed in Sebaea aurea (Gentianaceae) to investigate the functional role of diplostigmaty (i.e., the presence of additional stigmas along the style). • METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred seventy-four and 180 microsatellite loci were isolated through 454 shotgun sequencing of genomic and microsatellite-enriched DNA libraries, respecti...

BACKGROUND Sturnira is one of the most species-rich genera in the Neotropics, and it is found from Mexico and the Lesser Antilles to Argentina. This genus forms a well-supported monophyletic clade with at least twenty-one recognized species, as well as several others under taxonomic review. Sturnira parvidens is a widespread frugivorous bat of the deciduous forests of the Neotropics, is highly ...

Anopheles melas is a brackish water mosquito found in coastal West Africa where it is a dominant malaria vector locally. In order to facilitate genetic studies of this species, 45 microsatellite loci originally developed for Anopheles gambiae were sequenced in An. melas. Those that were suitable based on repeat number and flanking regions were examined in 2 natural populations from Equatorial G...
