Therefore it is hard to explain their small d inter values by conservation of loci.
The extent of evolutionary conservation of loci in coding regions can be studied at various levels of granularity when resequencing based polymorphism data will be available for human.
Premise of the study: To investigate the genetic diversity of a root crop, Xanthosoma sagittifolium, and to facilitate germplasm conservation, microsatellite loci were developed and characterized by genotyping 39 accessions from different geographic origins.
Conservation of locus of STK35L3 suggest that the STK35L3 gene is found in orthologous condition from fish to mammals, and that the STK35L3 does not result by tandem duplication of STK35L genes as they are found in distinct syntenic organization.
Three regions showing relatively good conservation of locus order between Lu. angustifolius and Lo.
However, the overall conservation of locus order indicates that chromosomal rearrangements have not occurred frequently in red clover.
In addition, for these common markers, complete conservation of locus order was observed along the individual LGs between the two maps.
Despite the high level of conservation, several locus-specific amino acid substitutions are present in the paralogs, making it possible to distinguish between individual dlx homeobox domains.
We observed that despite the fact that approximately 17% of the two-point estimates of recombination frequency observed for the same pairs of microsatellite markers differed considerably (on average by 25%), conservation of locus order was observed between the two parental maps, with 82% of the markers mapping with the same linear order along the individual linkage groups.
Addressing the issue of sequence conservation at imprinted loci, we have compared genomic sequences and highly conserved elements of imprinted genes to those of all autosomal genes in the human and mouse genomes.
