Authors: H.B. Liu, S.F. Liu, J.B. Ye, Y.J. Yuan, S.X. Dingand Z.M. Zhuang
A (GT/CA)13-microsatellite-enriched genomic library of the false kelpfish Sebastiscus marmoratus was constructed, and 20 polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized. The polymorphisms were investigated in 48 wild individuals from a single population collected from the northern Yellow Sea. The numbers of all.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers in Bagarius yarrelli using RNA-Seq
Authors: M. Du, Y.H. Liu and B.Z. Niu
The yellow sisorid catfish (Bagarius yarrelli) is a vulnerable fish species. In this study, seven polymorphic microsatellite DNA markers for yellow sisorid catfish were described, using RNA-Seq methodology. In B. yarrelli (N = 44) from a Hekou wild population, allelic frequency, and observed and expected heterozygosities per locus varied from two to six, .. Read More»

Development of polymorphic microsatellite markers and the population genetic structure of the half-fin anchovy, Setipinna taty
Authors: Y.N. Sun, Y. Qin, Z.H. Zhu and D.Q. Sun
Microsatellite markers for the half-fin anchovy Setipinna taty were developed from the enriched (CA)15 genomic library, and they were used for the population genetic studies of the half-fin anchovy from Chinese coastal areas. Samples were collected from five localities of the East China Sea and the Yellow S.. Read More»

Molecular traceability of beef from synthetic Mexican bovine breeds
Authors: R. RodrÃ?Âguez-RamÃ?Ârez, A. Arana, L. Alfonso, A.F. GonzÃ?¡lez-CÃ?³rdova, G. Torrescano, I. Guerrero Legarreta, and B. Vallejo-Cordoba
Traceability ensures a link between carcass, quarters or cuts of beef and the individual animal or the group of animals from which they are derived. Meat traceability is an essential tool for successful identification and recall of contaminated products from the market during a food crisis. Meat traceability is also extremely .. Read More»

New microsatellite loci for the mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi and their application in population genetic analysis
Authors: C.X. Tian, X.-F. Liang, M. Yang, Y.Q. Dou, H.Z. Zheng, L. Cao,Y.C. Yuan and C. Zhao
The mandarin fish is a popular fresh water food fish in China. Fifty-three polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated through construction of an enriched library of genomic DNA of Siniperca chuatsi (Percichthyidae). We found 2 to 7 alleles per locus. The observed and expected heterozygosity values varied from 0.059 to 1... Read More»

Diversity and genetic structure of mangaba remnants in states of northeastern Brazil
Authors: J.A.E. Amorim, L.R. Mata, A.S. L�©do, V.C.R. Azevedo andA.V.C. Silva
In this study, we analyzed the genetic diversity and structure of remnants of mangaba populations in states of northeastern Brazil by applying 9 microsatellite markers previously developed to establish conservation strategies for germplasm and species preservation. Six to 20 individuals per population were analyzed, with a total of 94 individuals and 6 po.. Read More»

Genomic breeding value prediction for simple maize hybrid yield using total effects of associated markers, under different imbalance levels and environments
Authors: N.F. Cantelmo1, R.G. Von Pinho2 and M. Balestre3
The main objective of a maize breeding program is to generate hybrid combinations that are more productive than those pre-existing in the market. However, the number of parents, and consequently the number of crosses, increases so rapidly that the phenotypic evaluation of all the possible combinations becomes economically and technically infeasible. In th.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for Axonopus compressus (Sw.) Beauv. (Poaceae) using 454 sequencing technology
Authors: X.-L. Wang, Y. Li, L. Liao, C.-J. Bai and Z.-Y. Wang
Axonopus compressus (Sw.) Beauv. is a perennial herb widely used as a garden lawn grass. In this study, we used Roche 454 pyrosequencing, combined with the magnetic bead enrichment method FIASCO, to isolate simple sequence repeat markers from the A. compressus genome. A total of 1942 microsatellite loci were identified, with 53,193 raw sequencing reads. O.. Read More»

Genetic divergence of common bean cultivars
Authors: J.S. Veloso, W. Silva, L.R. Pinheiro, J.B. dos Santos, N.S. Fonseca Jr. and M.P. Euzebio
The aim of this study was to evaluate genetic divergence in the ‘Carioca’ (beige with brown stripes) common bean cultivar used by different institutions and in 16 other common bean cultivars used in the Rede Cooperativa de Pesquisa de Feijão (Cooperative Network of Common Bean Research), by using simple sequence repeats associated with ..

Genetic structure and diversity in natural and stocked populations of the mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) in China
Authors: M. Yang, C. Tian, X.-F. Liang, H. Zheng, C. Zhao and K. Zhu
The Chinese perch, or mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi), is a freshwater fish that is endemic to East Asia. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity and structure of nine natural mandarin fish populations (from the Yangtze River and Amur River basins) and six hatchery stocks (from central and south China) using microsatellite markers.
