Transferability of microsatellite markers among economically and ecologically important galliform birds

N. Bech, Novoa, C., Allienne, J. F., and Boissier, J., Transferability of microsatellite markers among economically and ecologically important galliform birds, vol. 9, pp. 1121-1129, 2010.

We used the partially sequenced genomes of the turkey and chicken to find a large number of microsatellite markers. We then characterized 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers developed by cross-species amplification from economically and ecologically important birds to various European sub-species of the grey partridge. Even though we used cross-species amplification, a high degree of polymorphism was conserved in all microsatellite markers.

Analysis of common MDR1 (ABCB1) gene C1236T and C3435T polymorphisms in Turkish patients with familial Mediterranean fever

The multidrug resistance (MDR1) gene encodes a P-glycoprotein that plays a key role in drug bioavailability and response to drugs in different human populations. More than 50 SNPs have been described for the MDR1 gene. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is considered an autosomal recessive hereditary disease, associated with a single gene named the Mediterranean fever gene (MEFV).
