Microsatellites
Genetic structure in Brazilian breeding colonies of the Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja, Aves: Threskiornithidae)
Authors: Mino CI and Del Lama SN
Roseate Spoonbills (Platalea ajaja, Linnaeus) are wading birds present in two of the most important Brazilian wetlands: the Pantanal wetlands and Rio Grande do Sul marshes. Natural populations of these species have not been previously studied with variable nuclear molecular markers. In order to support decision making regardin.. 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»

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»

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»

Determination of ancestral proportions in synthetic bovine breeds using commonly employed microsatellite markers
Authors: H.M.S. Bicalho, C.G. Pimenta, I.K.P. Mendes, H.B. Pena, E.M. Queiroz and S.D.J. Pena
The International Society of Animal Genetics (ISAG) has chosen nine microsatellites (international marker set) as a standard that should be included in all cattle parentage studies. They are BM1824, BM2113, INRA023, SPS115, TGLA122, TGLA126, TGLA227, ETH10, and ETH225. We decided to ascertain whether this microsatellite set co.. Read More»

Eight polymorphic microsatellite markers for the spotted babylon, Babylonia areolata (Buccinidae)
Authors: Y. Wang, H. Lu, J. Zheng, K. Long, Y.H. Shi, Z.F. Gu and A.M. Wang
The spotted babylon, Babylonia areolata, is one of the most extensively cultured marine mollusks in southeast Asia. Eight polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for this species, from a microsatellite-enriched library. These markers, characterized in 32 individuals from a hatchery population, were polymorphic, with .. Read More»

Development of novel simple sequence repeat markers from a genomic sequence survey database and their application for diversity assessment in Jatropha curcas germplasm from Guatemala
Authors: R.S. Raposo, I.G.B. Souza, M.E.C. Veloso, A.K. Kobayashi, B.G. Laviola and F.M. Diniz
The last few years have seen a significant increase in the number of large-scale sequencing projects generating whole genome databases. These sequence databases can be surveyed (genome sequence survey) for tandem repeats as an alternative means to develop microsatellites for monitoring and selecting natural populations and cul..

Screening and characterization of novel microsatellite loci in Lateolabrax japonicus
Authors: B.B. Li, Z.B. Li, J.B. Shangguan, Y.F. Ning, Y. Yuan, Y.S. Huang and X.Q. Mao
Lateolabrax japonicus, an economically important species, is widely consumed in the offshore coasts of China, Korea, and Japan. We identified 10 new L. japonicus microsatellite markers, using a modified protocol of fast isolation by AFLP of sequences containing repeats. Thirty L. japonicus individuals were collected from Xiame.. Read More»

A combination of five short tandem repeats of chromosome 15 significantly improves the identification of Prader-Willi syndrome etiology in the Argentinean population
Authors: H.V. Ar�¡oz, M. Torrado, C. Barreiro and L. Chertkoff
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a multisystemic disorder caused by the loss of expression of paternally transcribed genes in the PWS critical region of chromosome 15. Various molecular mechanisms are known to lead to PWS: deletion 15q11-q13 (75% of cases), maternal uniparental disomy (matUPD15) (23%) and imprinting defects (2%).. Read More»
