Paternity exclusion in koalas using hypervariable microsatellites

Article Abstract:

Analysis of hypervariable microsatellite markers is an effective method for paternity exclusion in koalas. The method allows the determination of the levels of genetic variation in koalas. Six locus-specific primer pairs developed and prepared for DNA amplification with polymerase chain reaction show around four to eight alleles per locus. The mean allelic diversity is 6.5 plus or minus 0.6, which gives more than 4 x ten to the ninth power DNA profiles.

The mitochondrial genome of allotetraploid cotton. (Gossypium L.)

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze the mitochondrial genome of allotetraploid cotton. Two mitochondrial probes were utilized to carry out three separate sets of Southern hybridization experiments. Experimental results indicated that the AD-genome allotetraploid species supports an A-genome-like mitochondrial genome. Findings also showed that mitochondrial genomes are maternally inherited in cotton.
