Genetic diversity and population genetic structure of the miiuy croaker, Miichthys miiuy, in the East China Sea by microsatellite markers
Authors: Y. Qin, D.Q. Sun, T.J. Xu, X.Z. Liu and Y.N. Sun
Genetic diversity and patterns of population structure of the miiuy croaker were investigated using SSR markers. A set of 10 microsatellite loci revealed 40 alleles; the number of alleles varied from 2 to 10 for each marker. A relatively high level of genetic variability was observed between miiuy croaker individuals. Genetic diversity was relatively high.. Read More»

Variability with altitude of major histocompatibility complex-related microsatellite loci in goats from Southwest China
Authors: G.X. E, Y.F. Huang, Y.J. Zhao and R.S. Na
We aimed to use microsatellite BM1258 loci of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) as an indicator of the influence of genetic diversity of immunity in goats (Dazu Black, Hechuan White, Meigu, and Tibetan goat). In total, 132 animals comprising 50 Dazu Black goats, 24 Hechuan White goats, 34 Meigu goats, and 24 Tibetan goats were examined. Collectiv.. Read More»

Novel polymorphic microsatellite markers isolated from the pen shell Atrina pectinata (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Pinnidae)
Authors: B. Wu, L.J. Bai, A.G. Yang, L.Q. Zhou and Z.H. Liu
In this study, we isolated 21 novel polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci from the pen shell Atrina pectinata using magnetic-bead hybridization enrichment. The characteristics of these loci were tested using a population of 30 individuals collected from the Penglai coast, Shandong Province. The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 13, and polymorphism informa.. Read More»

Quantitative trait loci associated with body weight and abdominal fat traits on chicken chromosomes 3, 5 and 7
Authors: S.Z. Wang, X.X. Hu, Z.P. Wang, X.C. Li, Q.G. Wang, Y.X. Wang, Z.Q. Tang and H. Li
Body weight and abdominal fat traits in meat-type chickens are complex and economically important factors. Our objective was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) responsible for body weight and abdominal fat traits in broiler chickens. The Northeast Agricultural University Resource Population (NEAURP) is a cross between b.. Read More»

Multivariate analysis in a genetic divergence study of Psidium guajava
Authors: A.M. Nogueira, M.F.S. Ferreira, J.H.S. Guilhen and A. Ferreira
The family Myrtaceae is widespread in the Atlantic Forest and is well-represented in the Espírito Santo State in Brazil. In the genus Psidium of this family, guava (Psidium guajava L.) is the most economically important species. Guava is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries; however, the widespread cultivation of only a small num.. Read More»

Thirty-four microsatellite markers (SSRs) were identified in EST and BAC clones from Musa acuminata burmannicoides var. Calcutta 4 and validated in 22 Musa genotypes from the Banana Germplasm Bank of Embrapa-CNPMF, which includes wild and improved diploids. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 14. The markers were .. Read More»
