The Japanese and English White quails are widespread strains and belongs to the Galliformes order, Phasianidae family, Coturnix genus  and Japonica species. These birds are likely to be well-adapted to the hard conditions and resistance to diseases as it has attained economic importance as an agricultural species. In the current study, the genetic variation of Japanese and English White  quail ...

A study was aimed to evaluate a set of polymorphic microsatellite markers for their efficiency in testing parentage Jersey crossbred cattle available Tamil Nadu. The objective validation based on the criteria such as polymorphism information content, various genetic diversity parameters and ability exclude wrong parent. total 21 were included verify 24 trios (comprising dams, progenies 2 sires)...

Somatic mutations are transmitted during mitosis in developing somatic tissue. Somatic cells bearing the mutations can develop into reproductive (germ) cells and the somatic mutations are then passed on to the next generation of plants. Somatic mutations are a source of variation essential to evolve new defense strategies and adapt to the environment. Stem rust disease in Scots pine has a negat...

this study investigated genetic variation within indigenous chicken of khorasan using four microsatellite markers (mcw5, mcw16, mcw18 and mcw34). 90 blood samples were collected from this population and phenol-chloroform extraction method was used to isolate the dna. the highest and the lowest allele number and effective alleles are shown in mcw5 (6 and 5.293) and mcw34 (4 and 3.138), respectiv...

Aim: To study the genome profile of Chital deer (A.axis) by microsatellite markers using faecal DNA & to assess its usefulness as non invasive method of genotyping. Materials and Methods: DNA was isolated from 44 animals from faeces and blood, out of which 26 (3 from blood and 23 from faeces) were subjected for genotyping. The PCR products of all the ten microsatellite loci were subjected to 6 ...

The lethal congenital contracture syndrome (LCCS) is an autosomal recessive syndrome (McKusick 253310) leading to perinatal death owing to early onset degeneration of the anterior horn motor neurones of the spinal cord. The neuropathological findings in the LCCS closely resemble those of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Since all the three types of SMA have been localised to the same gene locus o...

The oval squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana is one of the most economically important squid species in Japan; however, its population structure is poorly understood due to the lack of hypervariable markers. Such information is critical for managing sustainable fisheries, as well as for ensuring the existence of wild S. lessoniana stocks. Eleven candidate microsatellite loci were isolated from a smal...

Three variants of the confidence set inference (CSI) procedure were proposed and applied to both the simulated and the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA) data. For each of the two applications, we first performed a preliminary genome scan study based on the microsatellite markers using the GENEHUNTER+ software to identify regions that potentially harbor disease loci. For e...
