Genetic Relationship
Phylogenetic relationships of twenty Gymnothorax species based on cytochrome b sequence data
Authors: M. Du, S.W. Yin and B.Z. Niu
To study the phylogenetic relationships of the genus Gymnothorax (moray eels) distributed in South China Sea, polymerase chain reactions were performed, and the amplification products were sequenced by cloning into the PMD18T-vector (TaKaRa). The entire gene sequences encoding cytochrome b (1140 bp) for 16 Gymnothorax (G. flav.. Read More»

Genetic divergence between Mexican Opuntia accessions inferred by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis
Authors: S. Samah, E. Valadez-Moctezuma, K.S. Pel�¡ez-Luna, S. Morales-Manzano, P. Meza-Carrera and R.C. Cid-Contreras
Molecular methods are powerful tools in characterizing and determining relationships between plants. The aim of this study was to study genetic divergence between 103 accessions of Mexican Opuntia. To accomplish this, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of three chloroplast interge.. Read More»

Genetic relatedness of artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) hybrids using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting
Authors: M.A. Sharaf-Eldin, A. Al-Tamimi, P. Alam, S.F. Elkholy and J.R. Jordan
The artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) is an important food and medicinal crop that is cultivated in Mediterranean countries. Morphological characteristics, such as head shape and diameter, leaf shape, and bract shape, are mainly affected by environmental conditions. A molecular marker approach was used to analyze the degree of polymorphism between artichoke .. Read More»

DNA barcoding and phylogenetic relationships of genera Picoides and Dendrocopos (Aves: Picidae)
Authors: Z.H. Huang, F.Y. Tu and X.J. Liao
Picoides and Dendrocopos are two closely related genera of woodpeckers (family Picidae), and members of these genera have long been the subjects of phylogenetic debate. Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) is a powerful marker for the identification and phylogenetic study of animal species. In the present study, we analyzed the COI barcodes ..

High polymorphism at microsatellite loci in the Chinese donkey
Authors: R.F. Zhang, W.M. Xie, T. Zhang and C.Z. Lei
To reveal the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships between Chinese donkey breeds, 415 individuals representing ten breeds were investigated using ten microsatellite markers. The observed number of alleles, mean effective number of alleles (NE), mean expected heterozygosity (HE), and polymorphic information content .. Read More»

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence and gene organization of Chinese indigenous chickens with phylogenetic considerations
Authors: F.P. Zhao, H.Y. Fan, G.H. Li and B.K. Zhang
In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial DNA of Chinese indigenous Jinhu Black-bone and Rugao chickens. The two chicken mitochondrial genomes were deposited in GenBank under accession Nos. KP742951 and KR347464, respectively. The complete mitochondrial genomes of Jinhu Black-bone and Rugao chickens were sequenced.. Read More»

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Liuyang black goat and its phylogenetic relationship with other Caprinae
Authors: S. Chen, H.M. Ma, G.S. Chen and L.Y. Wang
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Liuyang black goat was investigated, and phylogenetic relationships between the Liuyang black goat and other species of Caprinae were analyzed. The total length of the mitochondrial genome was 16,715 bp, which consisted of 33.50% A, 27.27% T, 25.98% C, and 13.25%.. Read More»
