Short Tandem Repeat
Structure and polymorphism of 16 novel Y-STRs in Chinese Han Population
Authors: G.Q. Zhang S.Y. Yang L.L. Niu D.W. Guo
Y-chromosome short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) are useful tools for identifying paternity origin and male-female mixed samples because of their male-specificity, haploid inheritance and relatively simplicity. We focused on novel Y-STRs deposited in the human Genome database from DYS708 to DYS726. We typed 16 male-specific Y-STRs from males of a Chinese Han popul.. Read More»

Allele frequencies and genetic diversity in two groups of wild tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella nigritus) living in an urban forest fragment
Authors: Jeanne Margareth Jimenes Amaral, Aguinaldo Luiz Sim�µes and David De Jong
There have been numerous studies genetically characterizing Old World Primates using microsatellites. However, few studies have been made of New World species and none on free-ranging Cebus apella, even though it is probably the most widely distributed species of monkey in the New World. The paucity of studies is due, in part,.. Read More»

Human autosomal DNA and X chromosome STR profiles obtained from Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera: Calliphoridae) larvae used as a biological trace
Authors: T.C. Oliveira1,3, A.B.R. Santos2, K.C.N. Rabelo1,3, C.A. Souza3,S.M. Santos3 and S. Crovella1
The use of insects to answer questions in criminal investigations, as well as a combination of forensic genetic techniques to obtain human DNA from the organisms, especially necrophagous dipterians, have gained ground in recent decades among researchers and professionals in this area. The objective of our study was to evaluate.. 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..

Genetic data for 15 STR loci in a Kadazan-Dusun population from East Malaysia
Authors: B.P. Kee, L.H. Lian, P.C. Lee, T.X. Lai and K.H. Chua
Allele frequencies of 15 short tandem repeat (STR) loci, namely D5S818, D7S820, D13S317, D16S539, TH01, TPOX, Penta D, Penta E, D3S1358, D8S1179, D18S51, D21S11, CSF1PO, vWA, and FGA, were determined for 154 individuals from the Kadazan-Dusun tribe, an indigenous population of East Malaysia. All loci were amplified by polymera.. Read More»

Genetic variations of 21 STR markers on chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y in the south Iranian population
Authors: J. Saberzadeh, M.R. Miri, M.B. Tabei, M. Dianatpour and M. Fardaei
Quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR), in recent years, has been accepted as a rapid, high throughput, and sensitive method for prenatal diagnosis of common chromosomal aneuploidies. Since short tandem repeats (STRs) are the cornerstone of QF-PCR technique, selection of the most polymorphic STR markers is.. Read More»

Significance of linkage disequilibrium heterogeneous patterns in the 21q22.3 region for mapping 21 trisomy individualsv
Authors: Y. Valle, J.R. Padilla-GutiÃ?©rrez, A. Quintero-Ramos, I.J. GarcÃ?Âa-GonzÃ?¡lez and F. Rivas
Recombination patterns can be indirectly inferred by means of linkage disequilibrium (LD) estimates, since LD is negatively correlated with genetic distance. However, LD does not necessarily have absolute correspondence with genetic distance. We estimated LD at 5 loci located in the 21q22.3 region. These STRs (D21S1440, D21S168, D21S1260, D21S1446, and D2.. Read More»

High levels of polymorphism found through cross-amplification of microsatellite loci in a Ctenomys pearsoni (Rodentia, Ctenomyidae) population
Authors: N. Mannise, S. Gonz�¡lez, J.E. Maldonado, G. Izquierdo, G. Francescoli and M. Cosse
Ctenomys pearsoni (Pearson’s tuco-tuco) is a subterranean rodent native to Uruguay. We tested the amplification pattern of 12 microsatellite loci, designed for C. sociabilis and C. haigi in a C. pearsoni population. DNA extractions were made from hair samples, and PCR amplification products were run on an ABI 3100 microcapillary gel. Eight loci were.. Read More»

We investigated the genetic polymorphisms of three short tandem repeat (STR) loci, D18S53, D18S59, and D18S488, on chromosome 18 in fetuses from a Chinese Tianjin Han population. Sixty-four villus samples and 374 amniotic fluid samples were collected from fetuses. Quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction was perform.. Read More»

Authors: J. Dang, L. Peng, H.J. Zhong and Z.H. Huo
The androgen receptor (AR) is involved in the differentiation and growth of breast cancer. Genetic markers in the AR gene have a plausible role in modulating the risk of breast cancer. In this study, we studied the association of breast cancer and the trinucleotide repeat polymorphism (CAG)n in exon 1 of the AR gene in 202 patients with breast cancer and .. Read More»
