Authors: P.P. Orellana, C.F. Andrade, C.L. Arciniegas and G.C. Iannacone
One hundred and eighty-two samples of unrelated people who requested the paternity test at the Molecular Biology and Genetics Laboratory of the Catholic University of Cuenca-Ecuador in the province of Azuay were studied, except for the D1S1656 (180 samples) and SE33 (89 samples) markers. The STRs D22S1045, D3S1358, VWA, D16S53.. Read More»

Authors: J.C. Mar?n, P. Orozco-terWengel, K. Romero, J.P. V?¡squez, V. Varas and J.A. Vianna
Thirty-nine microsatellite loci that are highly conserved in red deer, sika deer, reindeer, Soay sheep, and other artiodactyls were tested in two vulnerable and endangered Neotropical deer (pudu: Pudu puda and huemul: Hippocamelus bisulcus) with the aim of producing a standardized set of markers that can be used successfully i..

Structure and polymorphism of novel X-chromosome short tandem repeat loci in a Chinese Han population
Authors: Y.S. Zhu, H. Wu and J.H. Lai
Recently, 5 novel X-chromosome short tandem repeat (X-STR) loci with high degrees of polymorphism were examined. In this study, we investigated the genetic distribution of these loci in a Chinese Han population. The 5 X-STR loci were successfully examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in a total of 200 unrelated Shaanx.. Read More»

Analysis of an â??off-ladderâ? allele at the Penta D short tandem repeat locus
Authors: Y.L. Yang, J.G. Wang, D.X. Wang, W.Y. Zhang, X.J. Liu, J. Cao and S.L. Yang
Kinship testing of a father and his son from Guangxi, China, the location of the Zhuang minority people, was performed using the PowerPlex® 18D System with a short tandem repeat typing kit. The results indicated that both the father and his son had an off-ladder allele at the Penta D locus, with a genetic size larger than .. Read More»

Genetic diversity and differentiation in natural populations of Arapaima gigas from lower Amazon revealed by microsatellites
Authors: P.F. Fazzi-Gomes, N. Melo, G. Palheta, S. Guerreiro, M. Amador, A.K. Ribeiro-dos-Santos, S. Santos and I. Hamoy
Genetic variability is one of the important criteria for species conservation decisions. This study aimed to analyze the genetic diversity and the population differentiation of two natural populations of Arapaima gigas, a species with a long history of being commercially exploited. We collected 87 samples of A. gigas from Gran.. Read More»

Y-STR genetic screening by high-resolution melting analysis
Authors: J.Q. Deng1*, B.Q. Liu2*, Y. Wang3, W. Liu4, J.F. Cai5, R. Long1 and W.H. Li1
Currently, the widely used automated capillary electrophoresis-based short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping method for genetic screening in forensic practice is laborious, time-consuming, expensive, and technically challenging in some cases. Thus, new molecular-based strategies for conclusively identifying forensically relevant biological evidence are requi.. Read More»

Utility of STR markers for the molecular diagnosis of a large Brazilian family with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
Authors: C.O. Possamai, F.M. Carvalho, M.F.C. Silva, E.V. Wolfgramm, M.P.N. Sartori, F.S.V. Malta, V.P. Ribeiro, V.P. Spina, K.B. Gomes, A.C.S. Ferreira and I.D. Louro
Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1A disease (CMT1A) is most frequently caused by a tandem DNA duplication of a 1.4-Mb genomic fragment in the 17p11.2-12 chromosomal region. The disease is probably the product of a dosage effect of the peripheral myelin protein 22 gene located within the duplicated segment. We sought to study the largest reported Brazilian family ..

Genetic analysis of STR markers on chromosome 21 in a Han population from southeast China
Authors: Y.N. Zhu, S.M. Lu, M. Wang, F.X. Shen, Y. Chen and J.J. Hu
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are highly polymorphic sequences and have been extensively used as genetic markers in mapping studies, disease diagnosis, and human identity testing. In this study, 11 STR markers on chromosome 21, including D21S1432, D21S11, D21S1246, D21S1412, D21S1437, D21S1442, D21S2039, D21S1270, D21S1435, D21S1409, and D21S1446, were anal.. Read More»
