Authors: V.Q. Pretti, E. Fran�§oso, D.A. Sfor�§a, F. Pinheiro, D. Meyer and L.G. Lohmann
Tabebuia cassinoides (Lam.) DC., popularly known as caxeta, is a tree species that belongs to the plant family Bignoniaceae. This species is endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and is widely exploited commercially. To date, little is known about its genetic structure, preventing the establishment of adequate management plans for this taxon. .. Read More»

Polymorphic microsatellite loci for the genetic analysis of Lycoris radiata (Amaryllidaceae) and cross-amplification in other congeneric species
Authors: S.Q. Xuan, J.Y. Zheng, H. Wang, P. Gao, S.B. Zhou, K. Liu and G.-P. Zhu
Lycoris radiata is a perennial herb that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for a long time and has two main medicinal components in its bulb, lycorine and galanthamine. However, the original microsatellite loci have not been developed for any species of Lycoris. Total genomic DNA was extracted from fresh bulbs usin.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of novel microsatellite markers from the sika deer (Cervus nippon) genome
Authors: Y.M. Li, C.Y. Bai, W.P. Niu, H. Yu, R.J. Yang, S.Q. Yan, J.Y. Zhang, M.J. Zhang and Z.H. Zhao
Microsatellite markers are widely and evenly distributed, and are highly polymorphic. Rapid and convenient detection through automated analysis means that microsatellite markers are widely used in the construction of plant and animal genetic maps, in quantitative trait loci localization, marker-assisted selection, identification of genetic relationships, ..

Genetic diversity of Qatari date palm using SSR markers
Authors: K. Elmeer and I. Mattat
The genetic diversity in the date palm germplasm of 59 female accessions representing 12 cultivars from different locations in Qatar was investigated using 14 loci of simple-sequence repeat (SSR) primers. A total of 94 alleles, with a mean of 6.7 alleles per locus, were scored. The number of alleles per locus varied from 3 (primer mPdCIR090) to 11.. Read More»

Cross-amplification tests of ungulate primers in the endangered Neotropical pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus)
Authors: M. Cosse, S. Gonz�¡lez and J.E. Maldonado
In cross-species amplification tests of 15 ungulate primers in pampas deer, five were retained to form a small panel of highly polymorphic loci that could be used to efficiently screen populations of this endangered species. The polymerase chain reactions were performed incorporating the universal fluorescent labeled M13 (-21).. Read More»

Molecular and agronomic analysis of intraspecific variability in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum accessions
Authors: P.S.S. Leite, R. Rodrigues, R.N.O. Silva, S. Pimenta, A.M. Medeiros, C.S. Bento and L.S.A. Gon�§alves
Capsicum baccatum is one of the most important chili peppers in South America, since this region is considered to be the center of origin and diversity of this species. In Brazil, C. baccatum has been widely explored by family farmers and there are different local names for each fruit phenotype, such as cambuci and dedo-de-mo&.. Read More»

Selecting representative microsatellite loci for genetic monitoring and analyzing genetic structure of an outbred population of orange tabby cats in China
Authors: X.Y. Du, S. Yi, X.Y. Huo, C. Wang, D.F. Liu, W.Z. Ren and Z.W. Chen
We optimized a panel of microsatellite markers from cat and tiger genetic data for efficient genetic monitoring and used it to analyze the genetic structure of an outbred cat stock in China. We selected a set of rich polymorphic microsatellite loci from 131 cat microsatellite loci and 3 Sumatran tiger microsatellite loci using agarose gel electrophoresis... Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in the purpleback flying squid (Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis)
Authors: L. Lin, P. Li, Z.Z. Chen, Y.Y. Xiao, S.N. Xu, Y. Liu and C.H. Li
The purpleback flying squid (Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis) is a pelagic squid with tremendous potential for commercial exploitation. We isolated and characterized 21 polymorphic microsatellite loci for S. oualaniensis using a (GT)13-enriched genomic library. The number of alleles per locus varied from 6 to 32. The observed and expected heterozygosities rang.. Read More»

Genetic variability in maned wolf based on heterologous short-tandem repeat markers from domestic dog
Authors: Salim DC, Akimoto AA, Carvalho CB, Oliveira SF, Grisolia CK, Moreira JR and Klautau-Guimaraes MN
The maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) is the largest South American canid. Habitat loss and fragmentation, due to agricultural expansion and predatory hunting, are the main threats to this species. It is included in the official list of threatened wildlife species in Brazil, and is also protected by IUCN and CITES. Highly var.. Read More»

Genetic structure in Brazilian breeding colonies of the Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja, Aves: Threskiornithidae)
Authors: Mino CI and Del Lama SN
Roseate Spoonbills (Platalea ajaja, Linnaeus) are wading birds present in two of the most important Brazilian wetlands: the Pantanal wetlands and Rio Grande do Sul marshes. Natural populations of these species have not been previously studied with variable nuclear molecular markers. In order to support decision making regardin.. Read More»
