a reliable dna extraction method for use on extra virgin olive oil based on a commercial kit was defined, and the possibility of using this dna for fingerprinting the original cultivar was demonstrated. the genetic traceability of single-cultivar virgin olive oil from two cultivars (carolea and frantoio) was achieved by identifying the varieties from which they were produced. this involved the ...

Expressed sequence tags simple sequence repeats (EST-SSRs) are important sources for investigation of genetic diversity and molecular marker development. Similar to genomic SSRs, the EST-SSRs are useful markers for many applications in genetics and plant breeding such as genetic diversity analysis, molecular mapping and cross-transferability across related species and genera. In spite of low po...

Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are very effective molecular markers in population genetics, genome mapping, taxonomic study and other large-scale studies. Variation in number of tandem repeats within microsatellite refers to simple sequence length polymorphism (SSLP); but there are a few studies that are showed SSRs replication slippage may be occurred during in vitro amplifi...

background microsatellites have evoked the interest of researchers owing to their applications in different fields such as dna fingerprinting, genetic mapping, population genetics, forensics, paternity studies and evolution. objectives the present study focused on the analysis of simple sequence repeats (ssrs) in genomes of seven species from three genera of the filoviridae family. materials an...

the identification of parental inbred lines to develop superior hybrids is a rather costly and time-consuming step in maize breeding. in some cases, pedigree information has been used to select diverse parental lines. in the case of iranian maize inbred lines, this information is not fully available. in this study we investigated the genetic distance (gd) based on simple sequence repeats (ssr) ...

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are ubiquitous short tandem repeats, which are associated with various regulatory mechanisms and have been found in viral genomes. Herein, we develop MfSAT (Multi-functional SSRs Analytical Tool), a new powerful tool which can fast identify SSRs in multiple short viral genomes and then automatically calculate the numbers and proportions of various SSR types (mono-...
