Authors: X.F. Gu, Y.H. Dong, H.H. Yao, X.L. Zhou, X.Y. Qi and Z.H. Lin
Meretrix meretrix is one of the important commercial bivalves in China. A total of 198 individual clams were collected from 5 locations characteristic of the clam’s 5 main natural habitats in China, that is, Shandong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi. Ten polymorphic microsatellite markers were selected to examine the genetic diversity and id.. Read More»

Next-generation sequencing identification and characterization of microsatellite markers in Aconitum austrokoreense Koidz., an endemic and endangered medicinal plant of Korea
Authors: Y.-E. Yun, J.-N. Yu, G.H. Nam, S.-A. Ryu, S. Kim, K. Oh and C.E. Lim
We used next-generation sequencing to develop 9 novel microsatellite markers in Aconitum austrokoreense, an endemic and endangered medicinal plant in Korea. Owing to its very limited distribution, over-harvesting for traditional medicinal purposes, and habitat loss, the natural populations are dramatically declining in Korea. All novel microsatellite mark.. Read More»

Development of polymorphic microsatellite markers based on expressed sequence tags in Populus cathayana (Salicaceae)
Authors: Z.Z. Tian F.Q. Zhang, Z.Y. Cai and S.L. Chen
Populus cathayana occupies a large area within the northern, central, and southwestern regions of China, and is considered to be an important reforestation species in western China. In order to investigate the population genetic structure of this species, 10 polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified based on expressed sequence tags from de novo sequ.. Read More»

Development of expressed sequence tag-based microsatellite markers for the critically endangered Iso�«tes sinensis (Isoetaceae) based on transcriptome analysis
Authors: A.W. Gichira, Z.C. Long, Q.F. Wang, J.M. Chen and K. Liao
Isoëtes sinensis is a critically endangered quillwort. To facilitate studies on the conservation genetics of this species, we developed expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers. A total of 50,063 unigenes were predicted by transcriptome sequencing, 5294 (10.6%) of which significantly matched 3011 Gene Ontology annotations and 2.. Read More»

The Anopheles albitasis complex includes 6 species, and 3 are considered as malaria vectors in Brazil. Twenty-five polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci were isolated and characterized in 24-36 individuals from the neighborhood of Puraquequara, Manaus, Amazonas State, Brazil. The number of estimated alleles ranged from 2 to 10, the observed heterozygosity rang.. Read More»

Transferability of microsatellite primers developed for stingless bees to four other species of the genus Melipona
Authors: M.V.C. Viana, E.A. Miranda, A.K. de Francisco, C.A.L. Carvalho and A.M. Waldschmidt
Microsatellite markers are a useful tool for ecological monitoring of natural and managed populations. A technical limitation is the necessity for investment in the development of primers. Heterologous primers can provide an alternative to searching for new loci. In bees, these markers have been used in populational and intrac.. Read More»

Genetic divergence of common bean cultivars
Authors: J.S. Veloso, W. Silva, L.R. Pinheiro, J.B. dos Santos, N.S. Fonseca Jr. and M.P. Euzebio
The aim of this study was to evaluate genetic divergence in the ‘Carioca’ (beige with brown stripes) common bean cultivar used by different institutions and in 16 other common bean cultivars used in the Rede Cooperativa de Pesquisa de Feijão (Cooperative Network of Common Bean Research), by using simple sequence repeats associated with ..

Development of novel microsatellite markers in the Korean rockfish Sebastes schlegeli
Authors: H.-T. Ma, C.-F. Jia, J.-M. Yang, F. Wang, R. Xue, C.-H. Han and H.-B. Jiang
The Korean rockfish Sebastes schlegeli is a valuable recreational and commercial fish in China, and is cultured in land-based tanks and net cages. Fifteen microsatellite markers were developed for this species, and their polymorphisms were examined in a population. The allele number of the 15 markers ranged from 2 to 13, with an average of 5.933 per locus.. Read More»

Microsatellite markers for Amazon pellona Pellona castelnaeana (Clupeiformes: Pristigasteridae)
Authors: A.M. Ximenes, E.J. Hern�¡ndez-Ruz, V.N. Machado, L.R.R. Rodrigues, G.C.S. Ritter and I.P. Farias
The Amazon pellona is one of the few species of Pristigasteridae with recognized commercial value in the Amazon. We isolated 24 and characterized 8 microsatellite loci for this species. The number of alleles ranges from 2-8 per locus. Observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.052-0.823, while expected heterozygosities from 0.052-0.836. These 8 microsatellit.. Read More»

The Chinese perch, or mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi), is a freshwater fish that is endemic to East Asia. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity and structure of nine natural mandarin fish populations (from the Yangtze River and Amur River basins) and six hatchery stocks (from central and south China) using microsatellite markers. The resu.. Read More»
