Genetic Differentiation among Recently Diverged Delphinid Taxa Determined Using AFLP Markers

Article Abstract:

Amplified fragment length polymorphism markers were used to examine nuclear genomes of Delphinus capensis and Delphinus delphis dolphins for genetic diversity and nuclear divergence levels. Findings show that while the two species are morphologically similar, significant levels of nuclear genetic differentiation exists between them.

Exclusion of Urate Oxidase as a Candidate Gene for Hyperuricosuria in the Dalmatian Dog Using an Interbreed Backcross

Article Abstract:

Segregation involving the microsatellite markers surrounding the locus for urate oxidase was tracked, and findings show that the uox gene can be excluded for hyperuricosuria in Dalmatians based on negative LOD scores and the cDNA sequence identity.

AFLP-Based Genetic Linkage Map for the Red Flour Beetle (Tribolium castaneum)

Article Abstract:

A genetic linkage map was developed for Tribolium castaneum utilizing 269 amplified fragment length polymorphism markers. Linkage group assignment was performed using 10 random amplified polymorphic DNA markers as anchor markers.
