Their incidence is commonly associated with ageing and they may be of a very diversified origin [9] [13].
The objectives of this study were: (1) to identify microsatellites from the cultivated peanut genome; and (2) to detect the polymorphisms using these novel microsatellites in a collection of peanut accessions with diversified origins.
SSR primers were used to amplify the genomic DNAs extracted from a panel of 24 peanut accessions with diversified origins (see Table 1).
Surveying of newly sequenced genomes from the deepest branches of life has revealed that many components of the genetic toolkit seen in modern vertebrates arose and diversified deep in animal history even before the origin of chordates.
After the origin of dinosaurs in the Triassic Period, they diversified and first reached immense sizes in the Jurassic Period.
Studies of landraces often focus on describing their genetic diversity in order to identify valuable and diversified genetic resources; the genetic information is generally only coupled with the geographical origin of the accessions [ 13, 14].
This conclusion, together with its wide if not universal distribution in life, suggests that the most parsimonious explanation of the origin of this membrane-associated protein is in LUCA and not in any lineage of the diversified world of organisms, as the reviewer claims.
