Microsatellite in Aeschynomene falcata (Leguminosae): diversity, cross-amplification, and chromosome localization
Authors: C.A. Polido1,3, C.C. Mantello2, A.P. Moraes1,4, A.P. Souza1,2 and E.R. Forni-Martins1
Aeschynomene falcata is an important forage species; however, because of low seed production, it is underutilized as forage species. Aeschynomene is a polyphyletic genus with a challenging taxonomic position. Two subgenera have been proposed, and it is suggested that Aeschynomene can be split in 2 genera... Read More»

Cross-amplification of nonspecific microsatellites markers: a useful tool to study endangered/vulnerable species of southern Andes deer
Authors: J.C. MarÃ?Ân, P. Orozco-terWengel, K. Romero, J.P. VÃ?¡squez, V. Varas and J.A. Vianna
Thirty-nine microsatellite loci that are highly conserved in red deer, sika deer, reindeer, Soay sheep, and other artiodactyls were tested in two vulnerable and endangered Neotropical deer (pudu: Pudu puda and huemul: Hippocamelus bisulcus) with the aim of producing a standardized set of markers that can be used successfully i..

Isolation and characterization of novel microsatellite loci in Nibea albiflora
Authors: D.D. Xu, B. Lou, S.L. Li, Y.R. Zhang, J. Xin and W. Zhan
Eleven novel microsatellite loci were isolated from a (CA)10-enriched genomic DNA library of Nibea albiflora. The characteristics of these microsatellites were determined in a sample of 48 N. albiflora individuals. The number of alleles at the 11 microsatellite loci ranged from 5 to 25, with an average of 13.5 per locus. The observed and expected heterozy.. Read More»

Development and cross-species amplification of microsatellite loci for Puccinellia maritima, an important engineer saltmarsh species
Authors: R. Rouger, M. Vallejo-Marin and A.S. Jump
The grass Puccinellia maritima is an important saltmarsh ecosystem engineer exhibiting wide morphological variation, which is partially genetically determined. Nevertheless, nothing is known about its population genetics or how neutral genetic variation is distributed throughout its geographical range. Here, we describe 12 pol.. Read More»

Geographical genetics allows the evaluation of evolutionary processes underlying genetic variation within and among local populations and forms the basis for establishing more effective strategies for biodiversity conservation at the population level. In this study, we used explicit spatial analyses to investigate molecular ge.. Read More»

New microsatellite markers for the neotropical malaria vector Anopheles nuneztovari sensu lato A.S.
Authors: A.S. Cunha-Machado and V.M. Scarpassa
Anopheles nuneztovari sensu lato consists of cryptic species and genetic lineages, one of which is an important human malaria vector in the northern part of South America. Population structure and evolutionary genetics studies may help in the definition and delimitation of the species and lineages within this species complex, which is relevant information.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus (Portunidae) L.P.
Authors: L.P. Ren, Y. Qin, X.C. Li, Y.N. Sun, R.X. Wang
The Swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus (Portunidae) is an important economically food species. To provide molecular markers for P. trituberculatus, we isolated and characterized polymorphic microsatellite markers. We developed a 5'-anchored genomic library of P. trituberculatus DNA, and derived 45 positive clones. We desig.. Read More»
