GENETIC PARAMETERS FOR HEAT AND SALINITY STRESS TOLERANCE IN NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO EASTERN OYSTER, CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA
… and tissue samples were taken for genotyping and parentage assignment. The condition index was recorded at the end of the juvenile salinity challenge.</p> <p>Parentage was recovered using a 192 SNP array and the heritability (h<sup>2</sup>) of tolerance traits and genetic correlations were …

Family growth response to fishmeal and plant-based diets shows genotype x diet interaction in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
… families were reared in a common environment. Parentage assignment was performed on approximately 1,000 fish fed each diet using eight microsatellite markers chosen for non-duplication, a minimum of five alleles with no known null alleles, at least 50% heterozygosity, and unambiguous scoring. …

Parentage analysis in a free-ranging, closed population of southern white rhinoceros : genetics, pedigrees and management
… data, and, in particular, some knowledge of the parentage of the offspring within the population. This information is particularly difficult to obtain in long-lived, free-ranging populations (particularly for rare and endangered species) where the identity of the father must be inferred from …

Scale and impact of the illegal leopard skin trade for traditional use in southern Africa
… Africa (1,452 individuals) and using DNA-based assignment tests, inferred the geographic origins of illegally traded skins sourced within southern Africa. Smoothed continuous assignment techniques revealed leopard source ‘hotspots' in southwestern Zimbabwe, southern Mozambique and along the …

Landscape genetics and CWD in white-tailed deer
… We also examined movements of individuals using assignment tests and spatial autocorrelation, and quantified dispersal events using parentage assignment. Finally, we compared genetic characteristics such as allelic diversity, heterozygosity and fixation indices between CWD infected and uninfected …

Using DNA markers to trace pedigrees and population substructure and identify associations between major histocompatibility regions and disease resistance in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
… loci is a widely accepted method for determining parentage and examining genetic diversity within rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) breeding programs. Genotyping costs are considerable; therefore, we developed a single-step method of co-amplifying twelve microsatellite loci in two hexaplex …
