Molecular genetic insights on cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) ecology and conservation in Namibia

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted across the Namibian cheetah population using variation at 38 microsatellite loci to characterize patterns of molecular genetic variation. Results showed genetic variation being similar among all regions and that natural dispersal or translocation could be successful in integration and reproduction of several cheetahs.

Development of Y chromosome intraspecific polymorphic markers in the Felidae

Article Abstract:

A study is done to identify Y chromosome intraspecific polymorphic markers in 6 Felidae species. Results reveal that Y haplotyping system would highlight the evolutionary and population genetic studies of the species.
