Genome-wide screening of microsatellites in golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana), for the development of a standardized genetic marker system.

Golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana) is an endangered primate endemic to China. The lack of standardized genetic markers limits its conservation works. In the present study, a total of 1,400,552 perfect STRs was identified in the reference genome of R.

[Study of effects of copper deficiency on internal organ through a copper deficiency model in rat].

Objective: To establish copper deficiency model in rats, and observe the damnification on internal organ of copper deficiency rats.

Methods: 27 male weanling SD rats with 5-week-old were randomized into 3 groups (n = 9), i.e.
