Identification of 15 novel polymorphic microsatellite loci in pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata)

Authors: S.G. Fan, J.X. Wang, D.L. Zhang, Y.H. Guo and D.H. Yu

The pearl oyster Pinctada fucata is a commercially important marine shellfish. As a result, genetic improvement and selective-breeding program have been conducted for this species. Polymorphic microsatellites are effective molecular markers to investigate molecular marker-assisted selection and genetic variance. In this study,.. Read More»

Transferability of microsatellite loci from Cervidae species to the endangered Brazilian marsh deer, Blastocerus dichotomus

Authors: Leite KCE, Collevatti RG, Menegasso TR, Tomas WM and Duarte JMB

Blastocerus dichotomus, the marsh deer, is the largest Brazilian Cervidae species. The species is endangered because of hunting and loss of its natural habitat, i.e., flood plain areas, because of hydroelectric power station construction and agricultural land expansion. In the present study, we tested 38 microsatellite loci fr.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci for Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)

Authors: W. Chen, L. Fang, J.L. Liu, Z. He and H.Y. Hu

The parasitoid wasp Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani) is a common pupal parasitoid of many fly pests that is distributed worldwide. This organism can be used for biological control in orchards or livestock farms. Identifying polymorphic microsatellite loci would be useful for analyzing the population genetic structure of the parasitoid. In the current .. Read More»

Comparison of simple sequence repeats in 19 Archaea

Authors: S. Trivedi

All organisms that have been studied until now have been found to have differential distribution of simple sequence repeats (SSRs), with more SSRs in intergenic than in coding sequences. SSR distribution was investigated in Archaea genomes where complete chromosome sequences of 19 Archaea were analyzed with the program SPUTNIK.. Read More»

Development of novel chloroplast microsatellite markers for Ginkgo biloba

Authors: M. Xu, L.A. Xu, F.L. Cao, H.J. Zhang and F.X. Yu

Ginkgo biloba is considered to be a living fossil that can be used to understand the ancient evolutionary history of gymnosperms, but little attention has been given to the study of its population genetics, molecular phylogeography, and genetic resources assessment. Chloroplast simple sequence repeat (cpSSR) markers are powerful tools for genetic studies .. Read More»

Genetic diversity of microsatellite loci in Leopardus pardalis, Leopardus wiedii and Leopardus tigrinus

Authors: Grisolia AB, Moreno VR, Campagnari F, Milazzotto MP, Garcia JF, Adania CH and Souza EB

The microsatellite loci FCA045, FCA077, FCA008, and FCA096 are highly variable molecular markers which were used to determine the genetic diversity in 148 captive Leopardus sp. The PCRamplified products of microsatellite loci were characterized in ABI Prism 310 Genetic Analyzer. Allele numbers, heterozygosity, polymorphism inf.. Read More»

Analysis of transferability of microsatellite primers (SSR) in wild Passiflora species and intraspecific genetic diversity in Passiflora alata

Authors: M.A.A. Silva, M.M. Souza, G.S. Silva, C.A.F. Melo, R.X. Corr�ªa, I.S. Ara�ºjo and L.D.H.C.S. Concei�§�£o

The genus Passiflora L. is the most representative of Passifloraceae, with over 500 known species, among which 150-200 originated from Brazil. In addition to the great commercial importance of this genus for the fruit market, many of the species have exotic flowers with a huge diversity of colors and can thereby be ex.. Read More»

Polymorphic microsatellite loci developed from the Hong Kong oyster (Crassostrea hongkongensis)

Authors: H.T. Ma, S. Xiao, Y. Zhang, X.M. Li, J. Li and Z.N. Yu

Forty polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from Crassostrea hongkongensis using an enriched partial genomic library with magnetic beads. The polymorphism of these loci was assessed in 30 individuals from a wild population. The allele number of the polymorphic markers ranged from 2 to 13, with an average of 5.8 per lo.. Read More»

Temporal genetic differentiation in cultured and natural beds of the brown mussel Perna perna (Mytilidae)

Authors: Appio KT and Weber LI

Perna perna is the most important cultivated mussel of Santa Catarina, Brazil, sustaining an important economic input for many local families. Natural stocks of P. perna are depleted by the extraction of adults and seeds for consumption and culture. The aim of the present study was to use the microsatellite locus pms-2 to stud.. Read More»
