Microsatellites
Population genetics of the Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) in Korea inferred from microsatellite marker analysis
Authors: H.S. An J.W. Lee J.Y. Park
Populations of the Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai, have been severely overexploited over the past few decades in Korea. Information regarding the levels of genetic variability and structure within populations is insufficient for the development of effective strategies for conservation of genetic diversity of this species. To assess the genetic statu.. Read More»

Development and characterization of DNA microsatellite primers for buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.f.)Development and characterization of DNA microsatellite primers for buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.f.)
Authors: Development and characterization of DNA microsatellite primers for buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.f.)
Mauritia flexuosa L. (Arecaceae) is a palm tree species known as buriti that occurs in the Cerrado biome. It is characteristic of the vereda, a typical ecosystem of central Brazil. In this phytophysiognomy, M. flexuosa and other groups of arboreal-herbaceous species develop in open fields with very humid soils. M. flexuosa can be found in forest borders a.. Read More»

Development of novel microsatellite markers in the Korean rockfish Sebastes schlegeli
Authors: H.-T. Ma, C.-F. Jia, J.-M. Yang, F. Wang, R. Xue, C.-H. Han and H.-B. Jiang
The Korean rockfish Sebastes schlegeli is a valuable recreational and commercial fish in China, and is cultured in land-based tanks and net cages. Fifteen microsatellite markers were developed for this species, and their polymorphisms were examined in a population. The allele number of the 15 markers ranged from 2 to 13, with an average of 5.933 per locus.. Read More»

Development of novel polymorphic microsatellite markers in Siganus fuscescens
Authors: X.Q. Mao, Z.B. Li, Y.F. Ning, J.B. Shangguan, Y. Yuan Y.S. Huang and B.B. Li
Rabbitfish, Siganus fuscescens, is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific regions and eastern Mediterranean. Its dwelling place includes reef flats, coral reef regions, and seagrass meadows in tropical area and reef areas or shallow waters in locations at high latitudes. In the present study, 10 new polymorphic microsatellite markers were screened from 30.. Read More»

Development of microsatellite markers and genetic diversity analysis for Pelodiscus sinensis
Authors: T. Li, J. Zhao, W. Li, Y. Shi, X.Y. Hong and X.P. Zhu,
Pelodiscus sinensis is a common freshwater soft-shell turtle found in China, and is an important aquaculture species. In this study, 20 polymorphic microsatellite primers were developed from the transcriptome. The genetic diversity of three populations of P. sinensis was evaluated, using 72 individuals. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 26... Read More»

Evaluation of microsatellite loci from libraries derived from the wild diploid �Calcutta 4� and �Ouro� banana cultivars
Authors: P.R.O. Silva, O.N.J. Jesus, S. Creste, A. Figueira, E.P. Amorim and C.F. Ferreira
Microsatellite markers have been widely used in the quantification of genetic variability and for genetic breeding in Musa spp. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the discriminatory power of microsatellite markers derived from ‘Calcutta 4’ and ‘Ouro’ genomic libraries, and to analyze the genetic variability among 30..

Molecular phylogenetics of the white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) did not confirm morphological subspecies in northwestern South America
Authors: M. Ruiz-GarcÃ?Âa, M. Pinedo-Castro, K. Luengas-Villamil, C. VergaraJ.A. Rodriguez and J.M. Shostell
We sequenced the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region of 59 peccaries (44 white-lipped peccaries, Tayassu pecari, and 15 collared peccaries, Pecari tajacu). We also genotyped 3 DNA microsatellites from 78 white-lipped peccaries representing the 4 putative morphological subspecies (i.e., spiradens, aequatoris, pecari, and albirostris) present in northw..

Effectiveness of microsatellite and single nucleotide polymorphism markers for parentage analysis in European domestic pigs
Authors: G.C. Yu, Q.Z. Tang, K.R. Long, T.D. Che, M.Z. Li and S.R. Shuai
Parentage analysis and individual identification are recent, promising methods that have been applied to evolutionary and ecological studies, as well as conservation management. Parental exclusion relying on polymorphic microsatellites has been used worldwide in parentage determination, while the low mutation rate and genotyping error rate of single nucleoti.. Read More»

Worldwide diversity of the Y-chromosome tetra-local microsatellite DYS464
Authors: F.S.G. Kehdy and S.D.J. Pena
Of all DNA markers on the human Y-chromosome, the tetra-local Y-linked microsatellite DYS464 is the most polymorphic. We genotyped DYS464 in 677 male samples collected worldwide, maintained in the HGDP-CEPH Human Genome Diversity Cell Line Panel. Fourteen different alleles were found, with allele lengths varying from 9 to 23 r.. Read More»

Authors: A. Bashyal, B.A. Gross, M. Venegas-Anaya, F. Lowrance and L.D. Densmore III
We tested microsatellites that were developed for the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) for cross-species amplification and to provide an estimate of inter- and intraspecific variation among four species of Neotropical crocodiles (C. rhombifer, C. intermedius, C. acutus, and C. mo..
