Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers in Bagarius yarrelli using RNA-Seq
Authors: M. Du, Y.H. Liu and B.Z. Niu
The yellow sisorid catfish (Bagarius yarrelli) is a vulnerable fish species. In this study, seven polymorphic microsatellite DNA markers for yellow sisorid catfish were described, using RNA-Seq methodology. In B. yarrelli (N = 44) from a Hekou wild population, allelic frequency, and observed and expected heterozygosities per locus varied from two to six, .. Read More»

Unraveling the variability and genetic structure of barker frog Physalaemus cuvieri (Leiuperinae) populations from different regions of Brazil
Authors: M. Conte, C.P. Targueta, M.I. Zucchi, A.P. Souza and S.M. Recco-Pimentel
The barker frog Physalaemus cuvieri is widely distributed in South America and is found in all regions of Brazil. Significant intraspecific morphological variation in this species has been reported. To determine the genetic structure of the natural Brazilian populations of P. cuvieri, 10 different populations geographically se.. Read More»

Genetic differentiation between natural and hatchery populations of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) based on microsatellite markers
Authors: K. Xing, M.L. Gao and H.J. Li
Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) is one of the major aquaculture species around the world and supports an important segment of the aquaculture industry in China. In this study, we used ten microsatellite markers to detect genetic diversity within six R. philippinarum populations and genetic differentiation between them. A.. Read More»

Development of polymorphic microsatellite markers and the population genetic structure of the half-fin anchovy, Setipinna taty
Authors: Y.N. Sun, Y. Qin, Z.H. Zhu and D.Q. Sun
Microsatellite markers for the half-fin anchovy Setipinna taty were developed from the enriched (CA)15 genomic library, and they were used for the population genetic studies of the half-fin anchovy from Chinese coastal areas. Samples were collected from five localities of the East China Sea and the Yellow S.. Read More»

Novel and highly informative Capsicum SSR markers and their cross-species transferability
Authors: G.S.C. Buso, A.M.M. Reis, Z.P.S. Amaral and M.E. Ferreira
This study was undertaken primarily to develop new simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for Capsicum. As part of this project aimed at broadening the use of molecular tools in Capsicum breeding, two genomic libraries enriched for AG/TC repeat sequences were constructed for Capsicum annuum. A total of 475 DNA clones were sequenced from both libraries and 1.. Read More»

Loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 5 in Iranian esophageal cancer patients
Authors: F. Attaran-Bandarabadi, A.A. Ziaee, M. Yazdanbod, M. Shahpanah, A. Setayeshgar and M. Nassiri
There is a high incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Iran. Non-functionality of some tumor suppressor genes has been reported in esophageal cancer. Loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 5 has also been reported in esophageal carcinomas. We assessed loss of heterozygosity along a region of the long arm of ch.. Read More»

Molecular traceability of beef from synthetic Mexican bovine breeds
Authors: R. RodrÃ?Âguez-RamÃ?Ârez, A. Arana, L. Alfonso, A.F. GonzÃ?¡lez-CÃ?³rdova, G. Torrescano, I. Guerrero Legarreta, and B. Vallejo-Cordoba
Traceability ensures a link between carcass, quarters or cuts of beef and the individual animal or the group of animals from which they are derived. Meat traceability is an essential tool for successful identification and recall of contaminated products from the market during a food crisis. Meat traceability is also extremely .. Read More»

Genetic characterization of an elite coffee germplasm assessed by gSSR and EST-SSR markers
Authors: R.F. Missio, E.T. Caixeta, E.M. Zambolim, G.F. Pena, L. Zambolim, L.A.S. Dias and N.S. Sakiyama
Coffee is one of the main agrifood commodities traded worldwide. In 2009, coffee accounted for 6.1% of the value of Brazilian agricultural production, generating a revenue of US$6 billion. Despite the importance of coffee production in Brazil, it is supported by a narrow genetic base, with few accessions. Molecular differentiation and diversity of a coffee b.. Read More»

Genetic analysis of the Venezuelan Criollo horse
Authors: E.G. Cothran, J.L. Canelon, C. Luis, E. Conant and R. Juras
Various horse populations in the Americas have an origin in Spain; they are remnants of the first livestock introduced to the continent early in the colonial period (16th and 17th centuries). We evaluated genetic variability within the Venezuelan Criollo horse and its relationship with other horse breeds. We observed high leve.. Read More»

Authors: H.S. An, E.-M. Kim, J.-H. Lee, J.K. Noh, C.M. An, S.J. Yoon, K.D. Park and J.-I. Myeong
The population structure of the black rockfish, Sebastes inermis (Sebastidae), was estimated using 10 microsatellite loci developed for S. schlegeli on samples of 174 individuals collected from three wild and three hatchery populations in Korea. Reduced genetic variation was detected in hatchery strains [overall number of alle.. Read More»
