Authors: I.A. Arif, H.A. Khan, M. Shobrak, A.A. Al Homaidan, M. Al Sadoon, A.H. Al Farhan and A.H. Bahkali
Microsatellite markers are commonly used for examining population structure, especially inbreeding, outbreeding and gene flow. An array of microsatellite loci, preferably with multiallelic presentation, is preferable for ensuring accurate results. However, artifact peaks or stutters in the electrophoretograms significantly ham.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of novel microsatellites for Abies koreana and A. nephrolepis (Pinaceae)
Authors: J.K. Hong, J. Lim, B.Y. Lee and M. Kwak
Abies koreana is an endemic and rare species from Korea and is classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Although the genetic diversity assessment for current population of A. koreana needs to be performed urgently, no microsatellite markers have been developed for this species. In the pre.. Read More»

Novel genomic microsatellite markers for genetic population and diversity studies of tropical scalloped spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus) and their potential application in related Panulirus species
Authors: M. Delghandi, S. Goddard, D.R. Jerry, H.T. Dao, M.S.N. Al Hinai, W. Al-Amry and A. Al-Marzouqi
Fourteen polymorphic microsatellites with perfect di-, tri-, and tetra-nucleotide repeats were identified for Panulirus homarus using Roche 454 whole-genome sequencing method. Microsatellites were efficiently co-amplified in four multiplexes and a singleplex, providing consistent and easily interpretable genotypes. The number .. Read More»

Genetic structure of the threatened Hopea chinensis in the Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam
Authors: N.T.P. Trang and L. Triest
Hopea chinensis Hand-Mazz (synonym H. hongayensis Tardieu), is a wind and insect pollinated species. It is a threatened species known only from two locations: Quang Ninh (Vietnam) and Guangxi (China). As an endemic species, it is worth preserving both for dipterocarp biodiversity, as well as for its medicinal use and economic .. Read More»

Acrocomia emensis (Arecaceae) genetic structure and diversity using SSR molecular markers
Authors: D.S. Neiva, A.F. Melo J�ºnior, D.A. Oliveira, V.A. Royo, M.M. Brand�£o and E.V. Menezes
Acrocomia emensis, popularly known as the creeping tucum, belongs to the family Arecaceae, and is an oilseed specie of the Brazilian Savannah. The expansion of agricultural activity has rapidly destroyed its natural habitat, leading to a decrease in its population size. Genetic studies can be used to investigate the genetic variability, and may assist wit.. Read More»

Construction of an integrated genetic map for Capsicum baccatum L.
Authors: M.M. Moulin, R. Rodrigues, H.C.C. Ramos, C.S. Bento, C.P. Sudr�©, L.S.A. Gon�§alves and A.P. Viana
Capsicum baccatum L. is one of the five Capsicum domesticated species and has multiple uses in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. This species is also a valuable source of genes for chili pepper breeding, especially genes for disease resistance and fruit quality. However, knowledge of the genetic structure of C. baccatum is limited. A refer.. Read More»

Development and characterization of novel microsatellite markers for Ginkgo biloba using 454 pyrosequencing
Authors: Q. Zhou, X.X. Wang, M. Xu, F.L. Cao, F.X. Yu and L.A. Xu
As a “living fossil” that is used to understand the evolutionary history of seed plants, Ginkgo biloba is a well-known multipurpose tree with edible seeds, medicinal properties, and ornamental value, but little is known about its genetic diversity. Microsatellite, or simple sequence repeat (SSR), markers have prove.. Read More»
