•Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia can arise during the first trimester originating from trophoblasts of concurrent pregnancy.•Intraplacental choriocarcinoma can be developed from trophoblasts of a previous pregnancy.

There has been widespread and growing interest in genetic markers suitable for drawing population genetic inferences about past demographic events and to detect the effects of selection. In addition to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), microsatellites (or short tandem repeats, STRs) have received great attention in the analysis of human population history. In the SNPSTR database (http://w...

Background: This study has focussed on identifying the Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers associated with sucking pests (more precisely jassid) tolerance/resistance loci. The was initiated 4348 mapped SSR to differentiate between resistant (R-1) and susceptible (BS-1) genotypes. Out of (retrieved from cotton microsatellite database cottongen.org) used,17 were showing polymorphism parental lin...

Rice Diversity PIC SSR marker Diversity at molecular level among thirty rice genotypes, selected based on earliness and morphometric diversity was evaluated through five SSR markers associated with days to heading. Three primers viz., RM147, RM167 and RM215 showed polymorphism for growth duration related traits. A total of 17 alleles were detected among the 30 rice genotypes with an average of ...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite loci were developed for Prunus sibirica to investigate genetic diversity, population genetic structure, and marker-assisted selection of late-blooming cultivars in the breeding of P. sibirica. • METHODS AND RESULTS Using a magnetic bead enrichment strategy, 19 primer pairs were developed and characterized across 40 individuals from three P. si...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY We developed microsatellite markers in the legume Lens culinaris from publicly available databases to enrich the limited marker resource available for the crop. • METHODS AND RESULTS Eighty-two primer sets were identified using expressed sequence sets of L. culinaris available in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database and were char...

The genetic diversity of a microsatellite marker linked to MHC-DRB1 gene in German Merino sheep was studied and association of this marker with growth trait in German sheep was ascertained. This experiment constituted four consecutive lambing among seven Merinoland rams and 249 ewes and a total of 16 MHC-DRB1 microsatellite alleles were detected, ranging from 353 bp to 857 bp. For ewes carrying...

Pea aphids represent a complex genetic system that could be used for QTL analysis, genetic diversity and population genetics studies. Here, we described the development of first microsatellite repeat database of the pea aphid (APMicroDB), accessible at "http://deepaklab.com/aphidmicrodb". We identified 3,40,233 SSRs using MIcroSAtellite (MISA) tool that was distributed in 14,067 (out of 23,924)...
