We describe the isolation of 11 polymorphic trinucleotide microsatellite loci from the stonefly Arcynopteryx compacta. Loci were highly variable with 3 to 14 alleles (mean = 6.45). Observed heterozygosity ranged from 0 to 0.867. Seven loci showed significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium across both populations. There was no evidence for null alleles, and thus, Hardy-Weinberg departures could have resulted from genetic structure between populations or subpopulations. No linkage between loci was found. The 11 loci should prove highly informative for population genetic studies.

The yellowfin seabream () is an economically important commercial mariculture fish in China and Southeast Asia. Only a few simple sequence repeats (SSRs) of have been isolated and reported, which has hindered breeding progress. A total of 318,862 SSRs were isolated and characterized from the genome in this study.

Objective: The ghost crab Ocypode stimpsoni (Decapoda) is designated as a protected marine species in Korea due to its declining population. In this study, we successfully identified 17 microsatellite markers for O. stimpsoni through next-generation sequencing.

Background/aims: The purpose of this study is to define genetic factors associated with anterior uveitis through genome-wide association study (GWAS).
Methods: In this GWAS meta-analysis, we combined data from the FinnGen, Estonian Biobank and UK Biobank with a total of 12 205 anterior uveitis cases and 917 145 controls. We performed a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) to investigate associations across phenotypes and traits.

, a pest posing a serious threat to coniferous species, such as , has had devastating effects on pine forests due to its association with . The creation of unique simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers for is crucial, as there has been little study of the species' phylogeography. The aim of this study was to identify and create polymorphic SSR primers by sequencing samples of obtained from three different sampling points using the restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (Red-seq) approach.
