Authors: R.X. Wang, T.J. Xu, Y.N. Sun and G.Y. He
Twelve polymorphic microsatellites from the (AG)13 and (CA)13 enriched genomic libraries of Miichthys miiuy were isolated and characterized in a test population; the number of alleles ranged from two to nine. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.1923 to 1.0000 and from 0.2633 to 0.8337, respectively. Three .. Read More»

Insights about the genetic diversity and population structure of an offshore group of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Mid-Atlantic
Authors: C.S. Castilho, F. Pedone-Valdez, F. Bertuol, P. Fruet, R.C. Genoves, J.C. Di Tullio, G. Caon, L.S. Hoffmann and T.R.O. Freitas
Although the genus Tursiops has a worldwide distribution and is globally well-studied, some dolphin populations continue to face high risks of decline. Hence, it is necessary to assess the genetic diversity and structure of this genus to properly assess its conservation status and to implement appropriate management actions. In Brazil, genetic studies on .. Read More»

Detection of genetic polymorphism among and within Echinococcus granulosus strains by heteroduplex analysis of a microsatellite from the U1 snRNA genes
Authors: P.A. Roratto, M.L. Bartholomei-Santos, A.M. Gutierrez, L. Kamenetzky, M.C. Rosenzvit and A. Zaha
Polymerase chain reaction of a pentanucleotide microsatellite in the U1 snRNA gene complex generated a multiple band pattern due to the priming of paralogous sequences. Denaturation and slow renaturation of polymerase chain reaction products allow the formation of heteroduplex DNA that can be detected by its differential mobil.. Read More»

Screening and characterization of novel microsatellite loci in Lateolabrax japonicus
Authors: B.B. Li, Z.B. Li, J.B. Shangguan, Y.F. Ning, Y. Yuan, Y.S. Huang and X.Q. Mao
Lateolabrax japonicus, an economically important species, is widely consumed in the offshore coasts of China, Korea, and Japan. We identified 10 new L. japonicus microsatellite markers, using a modified protocol of fast isolation by AFLP of sequences containing repeats. Thirty L. japonicus individuals were collected from Xiame.. Read More»

A combination of five short tandem repeats of chromosome 15 significantly improves the identification of Prader-Willi syndrome etiology in the Argentinean population
Authors: H.V. Ar�¡oz, M. Torrado, C. Barreiro and L. Chertkoff
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a multisystemic disorder caused by the loss of expression of paternally transcribed genes in the PWS critical region of chromosome 15. Various molecular mechanisms are known to lead to PWS: deletion 15q11-q13 (75% of cases), maternal uniparental disomy (matUPD15) (23%) and imprinting defects (2%).. Read More»

Relationship of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T polymorphism with microsatellite instability and promoter hypermethylation in sporadic colorectal cancer
Authors: Alessandra D. Clarizia, Luciana Bastos-Rodrigues, HeloÃ?Âsa B. Pena, Charles Anacleto, Benedito Rossi, Fernando A. Soares, Ademar Lopes, JosÃ?© ClÃ?¡udio C. Rocha, OtÃ?¡via Caballero, Anamaria Camargo, Andrew J.G. Simpson and SÃ?©rgio D.J. Pena
The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism is associated with the expression of a thermolabile enzyme with decreased activity that influences the pool of methyl-donor molecules. Several studies have reported an association between C677T polymorphism and susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC). Conside.. Read More»

Development and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers for Castanopsis hystrix (Fagaceae)
Authors: Y. Jiang, Z.H. Li, J.Y. Zhu and H.L. Liu
Castanopsis hystrix is one of the most important and dominant species in evergreen broad-leaved forests in subtropical China. However, the population of this species undergone severe decline because of deforestation over the past 2 decades. For both conservation and forestry management, it is essential to develop molecular markers for C. hystrix. We ident.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci from aerial yam (Dioscorea bulbifera L.)
Authors: Q.Q. Yan, Y. Li, X.Q. Sun, J.L. Guo, Y.Y. Hang and M.M. Li
Dioscorea bulbifera L. is widely distributed in pantropical regions along the equator. The taxonomic treatment of this species is ambiguous due to its extreme polymorphic morphological characters. In order to provide tools to facilitate the study of genetic diversity, population structure, patterns of gene flow, and the mating.. Read More»

Fine-scale genetic structure patterns in two freshwater fish species, Geophagus brasiliensis (Osteichthyes, Cichlidae) and Astyanax altiparanae (Osteichthyes, Characidae) throughout a Neotropical stream
Authors: D.G. Ferreira1, S.C. Lima3, W. Frantine-Silva3, J.F. Silva1, C. Apolin�¡rio-Silva3, S.H. Sofia3, S. Carvalho2 and B.A. Galindo1
Streams are very important environments for Neotropical freshwater fish fauna, and possess a high number of species. These small drainages are also highlighted by their intrinsic biological and physicochemical features; however, knowledge on the genetic distribution of fish in these drainages is limited. Therefore, in the pres.. Read More»
