Allele frequencies of microsatellite loci for genetic characterization of a Sicilian bovine population

M. Cosenza, Reale, S., Lupo, T., Vitale, F., and Caracappa, S., “Allele frequencies of microsatellite loci for genetic characterization of a Sicilian bovine population”, vol. 14, pp. 691-699, 2015.

Short tandem repeats are used as an effective method to trace DNA markers in genotyping. Using a standardized kit, we tested 11 microsatellite markers recommended by the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) in a sample of 495 Sicilian cattle. The aim of this study was to investigate the allele frequencies in the Sicilian cattle population to provide a reference database and at the same time to assess the use of the ISAG microsatellite panel for pedigree analysis.

Allele frequencies for 12 autosomal short tandem repeat loci in two bolivian populations

L. Cifuentes, Jorquera, H., Acuña, M., Ordóñez, J., and Sierra, A. L., “Allele frequencies for 12 autosomal short tandem repeat loci in two bolivian populations”, vol. 7, pp. 271-275, 2008.

Two hundred and sixty unrelated subjects who asked for paternity testing at two Bolivian Laboratories in La Paz and Santa Cruz were studied. The loci D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, TH01, TPOX, and CSF1PO were typed from blood samples, amplifying DNA by polymerase chain reactions and electrophoresis. Allele frequencies were estimated by simple counting and the unbiased heterozygosity was calculated. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was studied and gene frequencies were compared between the two samples.
