Scientists have compared a set of plastid simple sequence repeat loci across over 100 pine species and tested them in groups of Ponderosa pine. The results of this study will be useful in delimiting ...

All the specimens were used for simultaneous sequencing the 12S-rRNA and the control region fragment (right domain). Samples were kept frozen at −20°C until their tissues had been removed and then the ...

The genetic diversity of 61 colored‐cotton lines, including 40 brown cottons and 21 green cottons, was analyzed based on agronomic traits and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 344 ...

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are regions of DNA with high diversity, and they have long been a mainstay for botanists examining the genetic structure of plant populations. However, as the cost of ...

There is evidence that tandem repeat sequences (TRS) could have essential roles in cell functioning processes. We aimed to detect and describe minisatellites contained in the sequences of a cDNA ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have investigated the genetic diversity and future distribution of Shorea macrophylla ...

Satellite DNA is mainly present in heterochromatin or the tightly packed regions of chromosomes in centromeres, telomeres, and sometimes even in the euchromatin region (active region of the genome).
