Authors: Q.Q. Song, Z.X. Chai, J.W. Xin, S.J. Zhao, Q.M. Ji, C.F. Zhang, Z.J. Ma and J.C. Zhong

To determine the level of genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among Tibetan yak populations, the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit 3 (COIII) genes of 378 yak individuals from 16 populations were analyzed in this study. The results showed that the length of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 3 gene sequences was 781 bp, with nucleotide .. Read More»

Mitochondrial genome differences between the stingless bees Melipona rufiventris and Melipona mondury (Apidae: Meliponini)

Authors: Barni GS, Strapazzon R, Guerra Jr. JCV and Moretto G

Within the Meliponini, a widely distributed group of stingless bees, Melipona rufiventris has been considered as a single, cohesive species. Recently, analysis of morphological characters led to the splitting of this species into two species, M. mondury and M. rufiventris. The former occurs in the Atlantic Rain Forest ranging ..

Genetic variation of Prochilodus lineatus (Valenciennes, 1836) from Paran�?¡, Ba�?­a, Miranda, and Corumb�?¡ rivers, Brazil

Authors: E. Revaldaves, E. Renesto and J.R. Gold

The curimbatá (Prochilodus lineatus) is one of the migratory species in the Paraná River Basin impacted by the construction of dams. Mitochondrial DNA sequences and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fragments were used to investigate genetic variability and geographic structure of five populations of curimb.. Read More»

Testing the utility of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 sequences for phylogenetic estimates of relationships between crane (Grus) species

Authors: D.B. Yu, R. Chen, H.A. Kaleri, B.C. Jiang, H.X. Xu and W.-X. Du

Morphology and biogeography are widely used in animal taxonomy. Recent study has suggested that a DNA-based identification system, using a 648-bp portion of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (CO1), also known as the barcoding gene, can aid in the resolution of inferences concerning phylogenetic relationships ..

Inclusion of cytoplasmic lineage effect and direct-maternal genetic covariance for genetic evaluation of growth traits in Nellore cattle

Authors: L. Grigoletto, E.C. Mattos, M.H.A. Santana, F. Baldi, J.P. Eler and J.B.S. Ferraz

We evaluated the impact of cytoplasmic lineage effects (Lc) for growth traits on genetic evaluation, including the genetic covariance between direct and maternal effects (sam). Pedigree data from 496,190 Nellore animals and observations on birth weight (BW, N = 243,391), weaning weight (WW, N = 431,681), and post-weaning weight gain adjusted to 345 days (.. Read More»

Population genetics analysis of Podocnemis sextuberculata (Testudines, Podocnemidae): lack of population structure in the central Amazon Basin

Authors: T.J. Silva, L.A.S. Monjel�?³, M.N.S. Viana, J.C. Pezzuti, P.C.M. Andrade, R.C. Vogt and I.P. Farias

The chelonians are, in general, important for the economy of the traditional populations of the Amazon region, especially as a source of animal protein. Furthermore, sub-products, such as eggs and fat, are utilized in the manufacture of cosmetics, and the plastron and carapace are used in the manufacture of adornments. The fre.. Read More»

Characterization and evolution of the mitochondrial DNA control region in Ranidae and their phylogenetic relationship

Authors: Z.H. Huang and F.Y. Tu

The control region is considered to be one of the most variable parts of animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). We compared the mtDNA control region from 37 species representing 14 genera and 4 subfamilies of Ranidae, to analyze the evolution of the control region and to determine their phylogenetic relationship. All the Ranidae sp.. Read More»
