Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium at microsatellite loci in Genipa americana L. (Rubiaceae)
Authors: R.O. Manoel, M.L.M. Freitas, E.V. Tambarussi, J. Cambuim, M.L.T. Moraes and A.M. Sebbenn
Genipa americana is a tropical tree species that is widely distributed in the humid tropical and subtropical regions of Central and South America. This study investigated Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium at six microsatellite loci developed for G. americana. Adult trees (188) and regenerants (163) were sampled and genot.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Metrodorea nigra (Rutaceae) from a small forest remnant in Brazil assessed with microsatellite markers
Authors: M.C. Guidugli, R. Ferreira-Ramos, A.C.B. de Sousa, F.W. Cidade, T.G. Marconi, M.A. Mestriner, M. Groppo and A.L. Alzate-Marin
Metrodorea nigra (Rutaceae) is an endemic Brazilian tree of great ecological importance, frequently found in the submontane regions of ombrophilous dense and semideciduous forests. This tree is useful for reforesting degraded areas and the wood can be employed in construction. We developed 12 microsatellite markers from a geno.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci of the Chinese muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi)
Authors: H. Wang, X. Luo, W.B. Shi and B.W. Zhang
Eight polymorphic microsatellite markers for Muntiacus reevesi were identified and characterized in this study. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 10 across 24-48 samples. The loci showed expected and observed heterozygosities of 0.577-0.876 and 0.387-0.933, respectively, with an average polymorphic information c.. Read More»

Allele frequencies for 12 autosomal short tandem repeat loci in two bolivian populations
Authors: L. Cifuentes, H. Jorquera, M. Acu�±a, J. Ord�³�±ez and A.L. Sierra
Two hundred and sixty unrelated subjects who asked for paternity testing at two Bolivian Laboratories in La Paz and Santa Cruz were studied. The loci D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, TH01, TPOX, and CSF1PO were typed from blood samples, amplifying DNA by polymerase chain reactions and electr..

Polymorphisms of three new microsatellite sites of the dystrophin gene
Authors: R.F. Sun, Y.S. Zhu, J.L. Feng, Z. Tian, W.J. Kuang, Y. Liu, H.B. Zhang and S.B. Li
To look for novel microsatellites in the dystrophin gene for the diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, candidate microsatellite sites in the dystrophin gene were analyzed with the SSRHunter software and were also genotyped. Among the 15 candidate microsatellite sites, three novel microsatellite sites in the 60th, 30th, and.. Read More»

Microsatellite loci and genetic structure of artificial populations of Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera, Braconidae)
Authors: L.O.S. Anjos, R.F. Peixoto Jr, D.M.S. Chanquinie, L.R. Pinto,S.A. Creste, L.L. Dinardo-Miranda, M.G.A. Landell, E.V. Tambarussi and R. Vencovsky
Cotesia flavipes (Cameron) is a parasitoid wasp used in the biological control of the sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis) (Fabr., 1794). Studies on the genetic diversity of C. flavipes are hampered by the lack of highly polymorphic molecular markers. In this report, a set of 11 microsatellite loci were developed from an enr..

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci from the invasive plant Solidago canadensis (Asteraceae)
Authors: S.-Y. Zhao, S.-G. Sun, Y.-H. Guo, J.-M. Chen and Q.-F. Wang
Solidago canadensis, a clonal herb originally from North America (common name: Canada goldenrod), is an invasive species in many countries. We developed microsatellite primers for this species. Eleven polymorphic loci were generated and primers were designed. Polymorphism of these 11 loci was assessed in 35 plants from two populations (Wuhan and Shanghai).. Read More»

Genetic analysis of 30 InDel markers for forensic use in five different Chinese populations
Authors: C.T. Li, S.H. Zhang and S.M. Zhao
Allele frequencies of 30 insertion/deletion polymorphism (InDel) markers previously selected and validated for forensic purposes were assessed in 419 unrelated individuals originating from five different populations of P.R. China, including Chinese Han, Chinese Hui, Uighur, Mongolians, and Tibetans. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium .. Read More»

Fragmentation effects and genetic diversity of the key semidecidual forest species Metrodorea nigra in Southwestern Brazil
Authors: R.M. Moraes Filho, F. Bonif�¡cio-Anacleto and A.L. Alzate-Marin
Studies of genetic diversity in plant species present in the remaining fragments of the Atlantic Forest are very important for understanding their resilience to such a degraded ecosystem. We analyzed the genetic diversity of 3 populations of the high-density understory species Metrodorea nigra St. Hill. (Rutaceae) located in forest remnants in the region .. Read More»
