Isolation and characterization of microsatellite DNA loci from the peanut worm, Sipunculus nudus
Authors: Q.H. Wang, Y.S. Guo, Z.D. Wang, X.D. Du and Y.W. Deng
Sipunculus nudus, the peanut worm, is the best known species in its genus. This unsegmented subtidal marine worm is consumed in some parts of Asia and is also used as fish bait. We found 20 microsatellite DNA markers for S. nudus. The number of alleles per polymorphic locus ranged from two to seven in a sample of 39 individual.. Read More»

Isolation of new polymorphic microsatellite markers from the marbled rockfish Sebastiscus marmoratus
Authors: H.W. Deng, Z.B. Li, G. Dai, Y. Yuan, Y.F. Ning, J.B. Shangguan and Y.S. Huang
The marbled rockfish, Sebastiscus marmoratus, is an important commercially near-shore fish that inhabits the beach rocky bottom from Japan to the South China Sea. Eleven polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from S. marmoratus and were used to identify polymorphisms in 30 samples from a wild population. The allele locus number ranged from 2 to 7. Po..

Effect of selective logging on genetic diversity and gene flow in Cariniana legalis sampled from a cacao agroforestry system.
Authors: J.B. Leal, R.P. Santos and F.A. Gaiotto
The fragments of the Atlantic Forest of southern Bahia have a long history of intense logging and selective cutting. Some tree species, such as jequitibá rosa (Cariniana legalis), have experienced a reduction in their populations with respect to both area and density. To evaluate the possible effects of selective loggin.. Read More»

Geographic shifts in climatically suitable areas and loss of genetic variability in Dipteryx alata (â??Baruâ? Tree; Fabaceae)
Authors: J.A.F. Diniz-Filho, R.G. Collevatti, L.J. Chaves, T.N. Soares, J.C. Nabout, T.F. Rangel, D.B. Melo, J.S. Lima and M.P.C. Telles
Many species are expected to suffer strong shifts in their geographic ranges due to climate changes in the next 50 years, with severe consequences for biodiversity patterns and population structure. We used here an ensemble forecast approach for obtaining species’ range in which multiple species distribution models and c.. Read More»

Brazilian Nelore cattle: a melting pot unfolded by molecular genetics
Authors: M.A.C. Dani1, M.B. Heinneman2 and S.U. Dani1
The aim of the present article was to study the population structure and genetic diversity of Nelore cattle and genetic relationships between Nelore and different taurine and zebu breeds raised in Brazil. DNA polymorphism analysis was carried out with 1976 animals of 16 zebu, taurine and synthetic breeds raised in Brazil. A higher genetic differentiation .. Read More»

Diversity and genetic structure of mangaba remnants in states of northeastern Brazil
Authors: J.A.E. Amorim, L.R. Mata, A.S. L?©do, V.C.R. Azevedo andA.V.C. Silva
In this study, we analyzed the genetic diversity and structure of remnants of mangaba populations in states of northeastern Brazil by applying 9 microsatellite markers previously developed to establish conservation strategies for germplasm and species preservation. Six to 20 individuals per population were analyzed, with a total of 94 individuals and 6 po.. Read More»

Genomic breeding value prediction for simple maize hybrid yield using total effects of associated markers, under different imbalance levels and environments
Authors: N.F. Cantelmo1, R.G. Von Pinho2 and M. Balestre3
The main objective of a maize breeding program is to generate hybrid combinations that are more productive than those pre-existing in the market. However, the number of parents, and consequently the number of crosses, increases so rapidly that the phenotypic evaluation of all the possible combinations becomes economically and technically infeasible. In th.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of novel polymorphic microsatellite markers for Lutjanus erythropterus
Authors: L.Lin, C.H. Li, S.N. Xu, Y. Liu and Y.Y. Xiao
We isolated and characterized 22 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the crimson snapper (Lutjanus erythropterus) using a (GT)13-enriched genomic library. We found three to 15 alleles per locus, with a mean of 6.68. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.087 to 0.978 and from 0.125 to 0.904, respectively, with averages of 0.576 and 0.650,.. Read More»

Development of a novel set of microsatellite markers for Lippia alba (Verbenaceae)
Authors: D.S. Rocha, C.P. Santos, M.M. Bajay, J.B. Campos, A.F. Blank,J.B. Pinheiro and M.I. Zucchi
Microsatellite primers were developed and optimized for Lippia alba to characterize the L. alba germplasm bank of Universidade de S?£o Paulo. A genomic library enabled the design of 9 microsatellite primers. Six of the 9 primers yielded polymorphic products, which defined 2 groups in the bank. The data provide support to characterize germplasm banks, genet.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite DNA in the piracema fish Prochilodus lineatus (Characiformes)
Authors: Yazbeck GM and Kalapothakis E
We described five novel microsatellite loci for the piracema fish species Prochilodus lineatus (Characiformes), endemic to South America and of extreme importance to both commercial and artisanal fisheries across its occurrence area. A primary, unenriched genomic library was constructed and radioactively screened for repetitiv.. Read More»
