Application of a DNA Mini-Barcoding System based on the Mitochondrial Control Region for the Identification of Raw and Processed Tuna Products
… using a DNA mini-barcoding system based on the mitochondrial control region (CR). A total of 80 samples of raw, dried, and canned tuna products were collected at the retail level for CR mini-barcoding analysis. The samples underwent DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and DNA …

Phylogeographic structure of the Atlantic pupfish, Cyprinodon variegatus (Cyprinodontidae), along the eastern coast of North America: Evidence from mitochondrial nucleotide sequences
… the genetic sequence structure of the mitochondrial control region (D-loop, non-coding origin of replication) and cytochrome-b gene for evidence of northern and southern subspecies within the Atlantic Coast of the eastern United States. Additionally, it will be may be possible to …

Misura della connettività e della dispersione dell’aragosta rossa Palinurus elephas (Fabricius, 1787) in Sardegna con l’uso di marcatori genetici STRs e mitocondriali
… 1787) in Sardinia through the use of STRs and mitochondrial genetic markers The spiny lobster Palinurus elephas is an important alieutic resource for all the Mediterranean Sea and especially Sardinia. For this reason, recently, in order to protect the intensively exploited stocks of the …

An Examination of Gene Flow Among Distinct Management Units of The Reddish Egret
… and used ten microsatellite markers and the mitochondrial control region to estimate deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, genetic differentiation, population structure, and gene flow. In all analyses, I detected more differentiations among groups and regions (Fst = 0.21) than among …

Phylogeographic analysis reveals strong geographical structuring in the klipspringer, Oreotragus oreotragus
… validity of the 11 subspecies designations. Mitochondrial control region and cytochrome b sequence data were used to investigate these topics using blood, faecal and museum specimens. Cytochrome b and control region fragments were amplified in 83 and 60 samples respectively, out of a total …

Population Structure of Lethrinus Lentjan (Lethrinidae, Percoidei) Across the South China Sea and the Philippines Is Detected With Lane-Affected RADSeq Data
… where a previous study of <em> L. lentjan</em> mitochondrial control region sequences did not. Genetic structure analyses revealed significant divergence along the boundaries of repeatedly isolated ocean basins, as observed in several Indo-Pacific species. Pleistocene vicariance is a suspected …

Variation at Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Loci In Two Killifish Species with Reduced Genetic Variance
… rapidly accumulated variation, particularly in region of the gene encoding functional important domains. This rapid accumulation of variation is likely due to the increased intensity of natural selection acting on these genes resulting from the homozygosity of the species. The contention that …

Population genetics of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus)
… goals, we sequenced 648 base pairs (bp) of the mitochondrial control region and developed 14 microsatellite markers. Queensland koala samples (N = 27) were collected from various United States zoos and are designated here as Queensland (zoo). Samples from wild koalas were collected from …

Morphometric and genetic variation among populations of the southern short-tailed shrew, Blarina carolinensis, located along the Coastal Plain of Virginia
… morphometrics and molecular genetic characters (mitochondrial DNA control region and exon-primed intron-crossing nuclear DNA, EPIC) from peninsular populations of B. carolinensis and compared them to shrews of the mainland population to address this question. The sources of specimens were shrews …

Evolution of Nuclear Integrations of the Mitochondrial Genome in Great Apes and their Potential as Molecular Markers
<p>The mitochondrial control region (MCR) has played an important role as a population genetic marker in many taxa but sequencing of complete eukaryotic genomes has revealed that nuclear integrations of mitochondrial DNA (numts) are abundant and widespread across many taxa. If left undetected, …

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Genetic Variation in Scarlet Macaws: Implications for Population Management in La Selva Maya, Central America
… Belize. A total of 2172 base pairs across four mitochondrial data partitions were employed to test the current hypothesis of subspecific diversification. Phylogenetic reconstruction uncovered two phylogeographic units exhibiting distinct and complex evolutionary histories, emphasizing the …

Genetic differentiation of a sympatric lake-resident/anadromous species pair of threespine stickleback in Mud Lake, Alaska
… (microsatellites) and DNA sequences from the mitochondrial control region indicate significant genetic divergence between sympatric anadromous and resident freshwater fish in the Jim Creek drainage. Genetic diversity was greater in anadromous populations than resident freshwater populations, …

Population genetics and evolutionary history of some deep-sea demersal fishes from the Azores - North Atlantic
… most captured species. Partial sequences for the mitochondrial control region and cytochrome b gene were obtained for the three species using universal primers. The diversity encountered for these markers is consistent with diversity found on other marine fishes, except for B.decadactylus in which …

Mitochondrial DNA in ancient human populations of Europe.
… in the nonrecombining maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA has been studied in a wide array of modern populations in order to reconstruct the migrations that have participated in the spread of our ancestors on the planet. However, population genetic processes (e.g., replacement, genetic …

Exploring the maintenance of plumage polymorphism in the Black Sparrowhawk
… winters in the recently colonised Western Cape region. Within this newly colonised region, the dark morph occurs in greatest frequency. Across South Africa, the species displays clinal variation, with the frequency of dark morphs declining from > 75 % in the far south-west on the Cape Peninsula, …
