The identified SNPs and microsatellite polymorphisms can be used as genetic markers to address questions of population and subspecies structure.
In view of their importance, many researchers have earlier attempted, using classical and molecular genetic markers, to address various population genetic issues pertaining to these regional groups.
Here we use molecular markers to address the hypothesis of glacial refugia on an aquatic top predator, the Huillín or Southern river otter, Lontra provocax.
We used allozymes as genetic markers to address the following research questions: (1) How inbred are the wild cowpea populations in this region?
Several fields of research in biology and genetics make use of molecular markers to address various questions relating to population biology, quantitative genetics, forensics, parentage analyses and conservation genetics, for example [ 1].
The availability of large-scale genomic resources for a bear species should facilitate the study of molecular evolution in the bear family and development of population genetic markers to address conservation issues.
In our study, we needed a greater number of polymorphic chloroplast markers to address our study aims, such as population genetic characteristics and the coevolution patterns of F. rubra with its endophyte E. festucae.
Therefore in this study, we evaluated the integrity of a WM component and oligodendrocytes using novel markers to address whether the underlying mechanisms affecting the WM are similar among the three dementias.
Taking advantage of public transcriptome data from the One Thousand Plant Project (1KP), we developed a genome-scale mining strategy for recovering potentially orthologous single-copy markers to address low-scale phylogenetics.
Considering that bats are good model organisms for assessing environmental and climatic changes, and that during the Pleistocene China did not experience extreme glaciation, we explored the phylogeography of M. pilosus using both mtDNA and microsatellite markers to address some questions: 1) Were population divergence and expansion events of M. pilosus related to Pleistocene climate change?
