Iranian bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) is an endangered livestock breed with distribution in northwest of Iran. Microsatellites are a powerful marker for animal genetic and cell line identification and population genetic study. In this study, after producing more than 40 Camelus bactrianus fibroblast cell lines, microsatellites loci from the genome of Iranian Camelus bactrianus cell lines ...

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is bases of genomic selection, genomic marker imputation, marker assisted selection (MAS), quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, parentage testing and whole genome association studies. The Particular alleles at closed loci have a tendency to be co-inherited. In linked loci this pattern leads to association between alleles in population which is known as LD. Two metr...

Aim: To analyze the allelic sharing and a set of preferable short tandem repeats (STRs) loci among Madurese full siblings. Materials Methods: This was an observational analytical study. The research subjects were determined from 20 families that originated Madura Island, Indonesia consisting father, mother, two biological children. blood samples collected, kinship relationship examined by using...

Anthrax, a zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, has affected humans since ancient times. For genomic characterization of Razi B. anthracis Sterne 34F2 substrain, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping method developed by Van Erth, variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR)-8 analysis proposed by Keim, and multiple-locus VNTR analysis (MLVA)-3 introduced by Levy were employed. In th...

Pedigree information and phenotypic records are the key features in animal genetics and breeding. Otherwise best methods for genetic evaluation and estimation of parameters will be tending to no correct results. This study was aimed to investigate and verify pedigree relations among 76 individuals who were genotyped for 3 fluorescent labeled microsatellite markers picked up from FAO-ISAG joint ...
