Interethnic variation of the MMP-9 microsatellite in Amerindian and Mexican Mestizo populations: considerations for genetic association studies
Authors: R. Camacho-Mejorado, G. Noris, C. Santana, J.J. MagaÃ?±a,A. Majluf-Cruz, J. Arellano-Galindo, A. De la PeÃ?±a, J. HernÃ?¡ndez-JuÃ?¡rez, E.S. CalderÃ?³n-Aranda, M.A. Meraz-RÃ?Âos and R. GÃ?³mez
We studied the interethnic variation of the MMP-9 microsatellite in the Mestizo and Amerindian populations using blood samples collected from 435 healthy unrelated individuals from the Central Valley of Mexico. DNA samples were genotyped using the -90 (CA)12-27 repeat near the MMP transcriptional start site using capillary ele.. 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»

Relationship between the polymorphisms in KCNQ1 and type 2 diabetes in Chinese Kazakh population
Authors: L.J. Cui, X.Y. Chang, L.Y. Zhu, G. Feng, T. Zhou, C.X. Zhang, K.Y. Chong and K. Sun
Recently genome-wide association studies on East Asian populations reported an association between diabetes and several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a 40-kb linkage disequilibrium block in intron 15 of KCNQ1. However, the association between KCNQ1 variants and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Chinese Kazakh popu.. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for Ulmus chenmoui (Ulmaceae), an endangered tree endemic to eastern China
Authors: Q.F. Geng, J. He, J. Yang, E. Shi, D.B. Wang, W.X. Xu,N. Jeelani Z.S. Wang and H. Liu
Ulmus chenmoui (Ulmaceae) is an endangered tree found on Langya Mountain, eastern China. To better understand the population genetics of U. chenmoui and conserve the species, we developed microsatellite markers. Using a suppression-polymerase chain reaction technique, 74 compound microsatellite primer pairs were designed. Twel.. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci for genetic studies of the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
Authors: V.A.C. Pavinato, K.L. Silva-Brand�£o, M. Monteiro, M.I. Zucchi, J.B. Pinheiro, F.L.F. Dias and C. Omoto
We present polymorphic microsatellite markers isolated for genetic studies of the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius). We isolated 16 microsatellite loci through an enriched genomic library protocol. After characterization, 12 markers showed polymorphic information expressed in the observed number of alleles (ranging from 2 to 7; 5 on averag.. Read More»

Population genetic structure of the migratory rice leaf roller, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), inferred from the mitochondrial A+T-rich region and nuclear ITS2 sequences
Authors: X. Wan, J. Li, M.J. Kim, T.H. Kang, B.R. Jin and I. Kim
The population genetics of the migratory rice leaf roller, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), was characterized using the maternally inherited mitochondrial A+T-rich region and bi-parentally inherited nuclear internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2). One hundred and eighty-seven specimens of the rice leaf roller co.. Read More»
