Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a serious disease of oil crop. The P5CR gene the first reported to be associated with resistance infection in soybeans, and its closest homologs are located on chromosomes A10 C09 Brassica napus. We named these BnP5CR1 BnP5CR2, respectively. purpose this study was examine single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) haplotype diversity (Hd) BnP5CR2 among canola cultivars dif...

malaysian mahseer, tor douronensis, locally known as “kelah” in peninsular malaysia or semah in sarawak is one of the important mahseers used for food as well as the aquarium industry and game fishing. this species is endemic to malaysian borneo river basins. the wild stocks of t. douronensis have declined substantially in recent years, due to over exploitation, pollution and illegal fishing pr...

The presence of genotyping errors can invalidate statistical tests for linkage and disease association, particularly for methods based on haplotype analysis. Becker et al. have recently proposed a simple likelihood ratio approach for detecting errors in trio genotype data. Under this approach, a SNP genotype is flagged as a potential error if the likelihood associated with the original trio gen...

AIM To investigate the population genetics of 17 short tandem repeat (STR) loci on the Y chromosome in the population of eastern Croatia. METHODS We carried out a statistical analysis of the data from previously performed genetic analysis collected during routine forensic work by the Forensic Science Centre "Ivan Vucetić". A total of 220 unrelated healthy men from eastern Croatia were selecte...

The immune responses of natural killer cells are regulated, in part, by killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR). The 16 closely-related genes in the KIR gene system have been diversified by gene duplication and unequal crossing over, thereby generating haplotypes with variation in gene copy number. Allelic variation also contributes to diversity within the complex. In this study, we est...

Grapevine chloroplast (cp) DNA diversity was analysed for the first time through amplification and digestion of fragments of the large single copy (LSC) region by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methodology and also by amplification of three microsatellite loci, previously described as polymorphic in grapevine. Thirty-eight grapevine cultivars collected mainly...

introduction: β-globin gene cluster haplotypes are useful in diagnosis of particular molecular defects in β-thalassemia, prenatal diagnosis of β-thalassemia, and elucidating population affinities. methods: β-globin gene cluster haplotypes were studied in 150 β-thalassemia minor and 52 healthy in-dividuals from the fars province of iran. dna was extracted from leukocytes of whole blood by phe-no...

Mauritian cynomolgus macaques (MCM) are widely used in human immunodeficiency virus research because of their restricted major histocompatibility complex (MHC) diversity which provides the opportunity to address the influence of host factors on vaccine studies. We herein report the impact of MHC haplotype on the outcome of 21 MCM infections with the CCR5-tropic simian/human immunodeficiency vir...

The genetic diversity of five natural populations milkfish (Chanos chanos) collected in Nghe An, Quang Binh, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa provinces Vietnam was examined using COI gene sequence analysis. Twelve haplotypes were noted from a total 50 sequences along with 12 variable sites and 6 parsimony informative sites. population had the highest haplotype (0.889 ± 0.060) nucleotide diversitie...

Advanced intercross populations, in which multiple inbred strains are mated at random for many generations, have the advantage of greater precision of genetic mapping because of the accumulation of recombination events across the multiple generations. Related designs include heterogeneous stock and the diversity outcross population. In this article, I derive the two-locus haplotype probabilitie...
