A New Retroposed Gene in Drosophila Heterochromatin Detected by Microarray-Based Comparative Genomic Hybridization

A genomic pattern of new gene origination is often dependent on a genomic method that can efficiently identify a statistically adequate number of recently originated genes. The heterochromatic regions have oft...

Eighteen novel polymorphic microsatellite loci developed from the Père David’s deer (Elaphurus davidianus)

Père David’s deer is a severely bottlenecked species but without showing inbreeding depression, making it essential to develop molecular markers to explore her genetic mechanism of population recovery. In this...

Development of twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci in polyploid endangered Omphalogramma vincaeflora Franch. (Primulaceae)

A total of twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from polyploid endangered species, Omphalogramma vincaeflora (Primulaceae). These loci were screened for variability among 45 individuals from thre...

The Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequence of the Hornwort Megaceros aenigmaticus Shows a Mixed Mode of Conservative Yet Dynamic Evolution in Early Land Plant Mitochondrial Genomes

Land plants possess some of the most unusual mitochondrial genomes among eukaryotes. However, in early land plants these genomes resemble those of green and red algae or early eukaryotes. The question of when ...

Multiple-scaled spatial genetic structures of Fraxinus mandshurica over a riparian–mountain landscape in Northeast China

Landscape genetics increasingly focuses on the way in which landscape features cause the fragmentation of lineages of terrestrial organisms. However, landscape features can also provide functional connectivity...

Isolation and characterization of twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci in Polygonatum cyrtonema and cross-species amplification

Twelve novel microsatellite loci were isolated in a perennial herb, Polygonatum cyrtonema. The polymorphism of each locus was analyzed by screening 23 individuals from a natural population. The number of alleles ...

PCR primers for microsatellite loci in a Madagascan waterbird, the Sakalava Rail (Amaurornis olivieri)

We isolated 76 microsatellite loci from the Sakalava rail (Amaurornis olivieri) genome. These were tested in 30 individuals from six sites (in three regions) across the species’ range in Madagascar. Thirty-four o...

Evolution of Enzymatic Activities of Testis-Specific Short-Chain Dehydrogenase/Reductase in Drosophila

The testis-specific gene **gwei (jgw) is a newly evolved short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase in Drosophila. Preliminary substrate screening indicated that JGW prefers long-chain primary alcohols as substrates, i...

Amino Acid Compositional Shifts During Streptophyte Transitions to Terrestrial Habitats

Across the streptophyte lineage, which includes charophycean algae and embryophytic plants, there have been at least four independent transitions to the terrestrial habitat. One of these involved the evolution...

Twenty-nine polymorphic microsatellite loci in Cyclura carinata, the Turks and Caicos Iguana, a critically endangered island endemic

Cyclura carinata, a critically endangered Caribbean rock iguana, now occupies less than 5% of its historic range. Remaining populations are genetically structured, but available tools are insufficient to identify...
