Genetic diversity in the Pantaneiro horse breed assessed using microsatellite DNA markers

Authors: E.H. Giacomoni, G.P. Fern�?¡ndez-Stolz and T.R.O. Freitas

The genetic variability for a sample of 227 animals from three populations of Pantaneiro horses was estimated using data from 10 microsatellite loci. The number of alleles and the proportion of heterozygosity indicated high variability. A total of 91 alleles were found, with a significantly high mean number of alleles. The mea.. Read More»

Genetics of efficient feed utilization and national cattle evaluation: a review

Authors: D.H. â�?�?Dennyâ�? Crews Jr.

Selection for the wide range of traits for which most beef breed associations calculate expected progeny differences focus on increasing the outputs of the production system, thereby increasing the genetic potential of cattle for reproductive rates, weights, growth rates, and end-product yield. Feed costs, however, represent a.. Read More»

Genetic analysis of average annual productivity of Nellore breeding cows (COWPROD)

Authors: J.P. Eler, J.B.S. Ferraz, J.C.C. Balieiro and E.C. Mattos

With the aim of estimating the coefficient of heritability of average annual productivity of Nellore cows (COWPROD), a data set from 24,855 animals with known pedigree was analyzed. COWPROD is defined as the amount (in kilograms) of weaned calves produced yearly by one cow during her remaining time in herd ignoring a fixed.. Read More»

Nucleolar behavior during meiosis in four species of phyllostomid bats (Chiroptera, Mammalia)

Authors: M.R. Beguelini, S.R.C. Marchesin, M.T.V. Azeredo-Oliveira and E. Morielle-Versute

We analyzed the behavior of the nucleolus, nucleolar structures and nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) during meiotic division in four species of phyllostomid bats that have different numbers and locations of NORs. Nucleoli began disassembly at leptotene, and the subcomponents released from the nucleolus were dispersed in the .. Read More»

Chromosome number and cytogenetics of Euphorbia heterophylla L.

Authors: J.R. Aarestrup, D. Karam and G.W. Fernandes

Euphorbia heterophylla L. (Euphorbiaceae) is a herbaceous species of great economic importance due to its invasive potential and consequent damage to agriculture and pasture land. For the first time, we provide information on its chromosome number, morphology, and behavior of mitotic chromosomes. Seeds were germinated and subm.. Read More»

Genetic algorithm-based efficient feature selection for classification of pre-miRNAs

Authors: P. Xuan, M.Z. Guo, J. Wang, C.Y. Wang, X.Y. Liu and Y. Liu

In order to classify the real/pseudo human precursor microRNA (pre-miRNAs) hairpins with ab initio methods, numerous features are extracted from the primary sequence and second structure of pre-miRNAs. However, they include some redundant and useless features. It is essential to select the most representative feature subset; t.. Read More»

Characterization of nine novel microsatellite loci for the Venus clam (Cyclina sinensis)

Authors: J.X. Wang, T.J. Xu, L. Wei, F.X. Meng and R.X. Wang

The Venus clam, Cyclina sinensis, is one of the most important bivalves in China marine aquaculture. Using (CA)15-enriched genomic libraries of this species, nine novel polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized. The mean number of observed alleles per locus was 16 (range 8-24). The observed and expected h.. Read More»

Development of novel polymorphic microsatellite markers for the silver fox (Vulpes vulpes)

Authors: S.Q. Yan, C.Y. Bai, S.M. Qi, Y.M. Li, W.J. Li and J.H. Sun

The silver fox (Vulpes vulpes), a coat color variant of the red fox, is one of the most important fur-bearing animals. To date, development of microsatellite loci for the silver fox has been limited and mainly based on cross-amplification by using canine SSR primers. In this study, 28 polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated and identified for sil.. Read More»
