an f2 japanese quail population was developed by crossing two strains (wild and white) to map quantitative trait loci (qtl) for performance and carcass traits. a total of 472 f2 birds were reared and slaughtered at 42 days of age. performance and carcass traits were measured on all of the f2 individuals. parental (p0), f1 and f2 individuals were genotyped with 3 microsatellites from quail chrom...

background: retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular tumor in childhood and mutation in the rb1 gene will trigger the tumorigenesis. so far, a wide range of the mutations along the length of rb1 gene have been reported. however, some could not be detected by common detection methods. in such condition, linkage analysis using microsatellite markers is suggested to trace unknown rb1 mutation...

hybrids were produced by crossing female caspian kutum rutilus frisii kutum with male grass carp ctenopharyngodon idella. the genome of eight larvae and parents were studied using microsatellite markers for genetic evaluation and verification. after dna extraction from parent fish and progeny, hybrid heritability of two loci was assessed using two pairs of microsatellite primers. hybridizie...

the genetic diversity among 56 almond (prunus dulcis) genotypes was analysed using 35 microsatellite markers and 14 morphological traits. analysis of morphological traits revealed a wide range of variation among the studied genotypes. out of 35 simple sequence repeats (ssrs) markers, 25 were polymorphic, producing 215 alleles that varied from 2 to 16 with an average of 8.76 alleles per locus. r...

nuclear markers such as microsatellites have allowed the identification of conservation and management populations of the hawksbill turtles. in present study, eight microsatellite loci were studied. 60 samples of hawksbill turtles. flipper from shidvar and hormuz islands have been surgically removed and preserved in 20% dmso buffer. dna was extracted using dnp kit and amplified by pcr methods. ...

in this study, genetic diversity of 20 wheat genotypes was evaluated using 126 simple sequence repeats (ssr) alleles, covering all three wheat genomes. a total of 1557 allelic variants were detected for 126 ssr loci. the number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 19 and the allelic polymorphism information content (pic) varied from 0.66 (xgwm429) to 0.94 (xgwm212 and xgwm515). the high­est po...

linseed is an important oilseed and fibre crop predominantly grown in india. the aim of the present research was to evaluate genetic diversity and patterns of relationships among the 58 genotypes through 10 morphological traits and 12 polymorphic microsatellite (ssr) markers. euclidean analysis of agro-morphological traits grouped the 58 genotypes into four clusters of which cluster i was the l...

potato virus y (pvy) is one of the most important pathogenic agents that reduce the yield and quality of tobacco (nicotiana tabacum l.). dna-based molecular markers are valuable tools for identifying germplasm in gene banks, assessing kinship ties, and doing marker-assisted selection (mas) for resistance to pests, diseases, and some crop traits of interest. this work presents the results of ass...

Camels have been regarded as the desert ship and they play multi-utility role in the world. Estimation of genetic parameters is foremost step towards managing the genetic resources for their conservation and sustainable utilization. Microsatellite markers have been extensively used in cattle, sheep, goat and camels. However, genetic characterization studies on camels has been poorly recorded. T...
