Development and characterization of novel expressed sequence tag-derived simple sequence repeat markers in Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree)
Authors: Z.W. An, Y.C. Li, Q.L. Zhai, L.L. Xie, Y.H. Zhao, H.S. Huang
Cultivated clones of Hevea brasiliensis have a narrow genetic base. In order to broaden the genetic base, it is first necessary to investigate the genetic diversity of wild populations. Expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers were developed to investigate the genetic diversity of Hevea populations. Four.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and differentiation of exotic and American commercial cattle breeds raised in Brazil
Authors: B.S.A.F. Brasil1,2,3*, E.G.A. Coelho1*, M.G. Drummond1,2 and D.A.A. Oliveira1
The Brazilian cattle population is mainly composed of breeds of zebuine origin and their American derivatives. Comprehensive knowledge about the genetic diversity of these populations is fundamental for animal breeding programs and the conservation of genetic resources. This study aimed to assess the phylogenetic relationships, levels of genetic diversity.. Read More»

A multi-farm assessment of Greek black pig genetic diversity using microsatellite molecular markers
Authors: S. Michailidou, A. Kalivas, I. Ganopoulos, E. Stea, G. Michailidis, A. Tsaftaris and A. Argiriou
Local breeds are important for the maintenance of genetic diversity and future food security. Nowadays, the worldwide distribution of pigs is dominated by a few breeds, tending towards a severe loss of pig biodiversity. Thus, it is critical to maintain distinct populations of pig breeds. The Greek black pig, a breed raised loc.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers from Coilia ectenes
Authors: X.J. Rong, Y.J. Xu, Q.Y. Wang, M.J. Liao, X.Z. Liu, C.Y. Pan,Z. Zhang, Y.G. Wang
Coilia ectenes (Jordan and Seale 1905) is an important anadromous species that is an important resource at risk of extinction because of over-fishing, pollution, and coastal construction. To evaluate the genetic diversity of C. ectenes for use in breeding programs, elite microsatellite-enriched libraries were constructed and n.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of Mytilus coruscus and M. galloprovincialis using microsatellite markers
Authors: J.H. Kang1, J.M. Lee2, E.S. Noh1, J.Y. Park1 and C.M. An1
Korean (hard-shelled) mussels (Mytilus coruscus) are an economically important endemic marine bivalve mollusk of Korea; yet, the population has rapidly declined because of overharvesting and habitat competition from the invasive Mytilus galloprovincialis species. The population structures of M. coruscus and M. galloprovincialis were analyzed by next-gener.. Read More»

Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium at nine microsatellite loci of Cariniana legalis (Mart.) O. Kuntze
Authors: E.V. Tambarussi1, R. Vencovsky1, M.L.M. Freitas2 and A.M. Sebbenn3
Cariniana legalis is one of the largest tropical trees with a wide distribution in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest. We investigated the Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium at seven microsatellite loci specifically isolated for C. legalis, and at two previously developed heterologous microsatellite loci. Forty to 100 open.. Read More»

Characterization and cross-species amplification of microsatellite markers in African Silverbill (Lonchura cantans)
Authors: N.R. Parine1, D. Kumar2, A.A.K. Pathan1, M.S. Elrobh1, W. Khan1,3 and M. Alanazi1
We tested the cross-amplification of eight microsatellites developed for Bengalese finch in African Silverbill (Lonchura cantans). In order to develop resources for conservation genetic studies in the species L. cantans, we tested the amplification success and polymorphism in eight previously developed microsatellite loci, in L. cantans. All eight microsa.. Read More»

Polymorphic microsatellite loci isolated from Cervus unicolor (Cervidae) show inbreeding in a domesticated population of Taiwan Sambar deer
Authors: D.Y. Lin, T.Y. Chiang, C.C. Huang, H.D. Lin, S.J. Tzeng, S.R. Kang, H.M. Sung and M.C. Wu
Primers for eight microsatellites were developed; they successfully amplified DNA from 20 domesticated Formosan Sambar deer (Cervus unicolor swinhoei). All loci were polymorphic, with 10-19 alleles per locus. The average observed heterozygosity across loci and samples was 0.310, ranging from 0 to 0.750 at each locus. All loci .. Read More»

Genetic differences between the wild and hatchery-produced populations of Korean short barbeled grunter (Hapalogenys nitens) determined with microsatellite markers
Authors: H.S. An, H.W. Kang, H.S. Han, J.Y. Park, C.G. Hong, J. Park, J.I. Myeong and C.M. An
Short barbeled grunter, Hapalogenys nitens, is an economically important fishery resource. In Korea, this fish is in the early stage of domestication, and it has been regarded as the candidate marine fish species for prospective aquaculture diversification. This study presents a preliminary investigation of the future viability of sustainable fry producti.. Read More»
