The natural population of have not been genetically enumerated due to a lack of genome sequence information or robust species-specific molecular marker. The present study was conducted to develop and validate genome-wide de novo simple sequence repeat (SSRs) markers in through shallow-pass genome sequencing. The genome sequence data of about 13 Gb was generated using Illumina technology, and high-quality sequence reads were de novo assembled into 1,390,995 contigs with GC content 42.

FRET analysis of the unwrapping of nucleosomal DNA containing a sequence characteristic of the + 1 nucleosome.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Sequence-dependent mechanical properties of DNA could play essential roles in nuclear processes by affecting histone-DNA interactions. Previously, we found that the DNA entry site of the first nucleosomes from the transcription start site (+ 1 nucleosome) in budding yeast enriches AA/TT steps, but not the exit site, and the biased presence of AA/TT in the entry site was associated with the transcription levels of yeast genes. Because AA/TT is a rigid dinucleotide step, we considered that AA/TT causes DNA unwrapping.

Genome-Wide In Silico Analysis of Microsatellite Loci in Rabbits.

Animals (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Poultry Breeding, Animal Production Research Institute, Agriculture Research Center, Dokki, Giza 12618, Egypt.

This study aimed to characterize microsatellites in the rabbit genome using an in silico approach and to develop and validate microsatellite markers. Blood samples were collected from 15 Baladi rabbits and 18 New Zealand White (NZW rabbits). The GMATA software was used to define SSRs in the extracted sequences.

Genomic microsatellite characterization and development of polymorphic microsatellites in Eospalax baileyi.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Grassland Ecosystem (Ministry of Education), Pratacultural College, Gansu Agricultural University, Lanzhou, 730070, China.

Microsatellite markers are cost-effective, rapid, efficient, and show great advantages in in large-sample kinship analysis and population structure studies. However, microsatellite loci are seriously underdeveloped in non-model organisms. The plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi) is a key species living underground in the Tibetan Plateau, the effective management of which has long been challenging.
