Rapid microsatellite development in Gekko japonicus using sequenced restriction-site associated DNA markers

L. Wei, Shao, W. W., Zhou, H. B., Ping, J., Li, L. M., and Zhang, Y. P., “Rapid microsatellite development in Gekko japonicus using sequenced restriction-site associated DNA markers”, vol. 14, pp. 14119-14122, 2015.

Twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated in the Japanese gecko, Gekko japonicus. We genotyped one population from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, China (N = 36). The mean number of observed alleles per locus was 7.3 (range 4 to 13). Observed and expected heterozygosity values ranged from 0.200 to 0.944 and from 0.395 to 0.797, respectively. One locus (GJ20) showed significant departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; no linkage disequilibrium was found between any two loci.

Dynamic comparison of genetic diversity in a Small Tail Han sheep population using meta-analysis

G. X. E, Huang, Y. F., Zhao, Y. J., He, J. N., Liu, N., Zhong, T., Ma, Y. H., Qiu, X. Y., and Chen, L. P., “Dynamic comparison of genetic diversity in a Small Tail Han sheep population using meta-analysis”, vol. 14, pp. 14607-14614, 2015.

The aim of this research was to identify the dynamic diversity of Small Tail Han sheep in its main producing areas between different years, and provide a basis for a breeding and genetic resources conservation strategy. For this purpose, 15 microsatellites were genotyped for Small Tail Han Sheep sampled in 2014 from Heze, China, and a comparative analysis of these data with those from a previous study was undertaken using meta-analysis. The results reveal that inbreeding has caused a reduction in diversity of Small Tail Han Sheep from 2008 to 2014.
