Genetic diversity and molecular characterization of several Heliconia species in Colombia

Authors: L. Isaza M.L. Marulanda A.M. L�³pez

Researchers have classified the Heliconia genus as a group of highly variable and diverse plants. Species and cultivars are visually differentiated primarily on the basis of the color and size of inflorescence bracts. At taxonomic level, flower type (parabolic, sigmoid, or erect) and size are taken into account. The vast morphological diversity of helicon.. Read More»

DNA barcoding and phylogenetic relationships in Timaliidae

Authors: Z.H. Huang and D.H. Ke

The Timaliidae, a diverse family of oscine passerine birds, has long been a subject of debate regarding its phylogeny. The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene has been used as a powerful marker for identification and phylogenetic studies of animal species. In the present study, we analyzed the COI barcodes of 71 species from 21 genera .. Read More»

Phylogenetic relationships of twenty Gymnothorax species based on cytochrome b sequence data

Authors: M. Du, S.W. Yin and B.Z. Niu

To study the phylogenetic relationships of the genus Gymnothorax (moray eels) distributed in South China Sea, polymerase chain reactions were performed, and the amplification products were sequenced by cloning into the PMD18T-vector (TaKaRa). The entire gene sequences encoding cytochrome b (1140 bp) for 16 Gymnothorax (G. flav.. Read More»

DNA barcoding and phylogenetic relationships of genera Picoides and Dendrocopos (Aves: Picidae)

Authors: Z.H. Huang, F.Y. Tu and X.J. Liao

Picoides and Dendrocopos are two closely related genera of woodpeckers (family Picidae), and members of these genera have long been the subjects of phylogenetic debate. Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) is a powerful marker for the identification and phylogenetic study of animal species. In the present study, we analyzed the COI barcodes ..

High polymorphism at microsatellite loci in the Chinese donkey

Authors: R.F. Zhang, W.M. Xie, T. Zhang and C.Z. Lei

To reveal the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships between Chinese donkey breeds, 415 individuals representing ten breeds were investigated using ten microsatellite markers. The observed number of alleles, mean effective number of alleles (NE), mean expected heterozygosity (HE), and polymorphic information content .. Read More»
