PCR-based technology used for genotyping microsatellites is going to add new dimensions to parentage control in cattle. In the very near future the determination of microsatellite polymorphisms is expected to replace the former parentage control of conventional blood typing. Parentage control by microsatellite analysis is even more reliable than by the routine haemogenetic procedures. The potential of microsatellite polymorphisms to clarify family relationships is illustrated by 100 cases which could not be solved by conventional blood typing.

Exploring the forensic effectiveness and population genetic differentiation in Guizhou Miao and Bouyei group by the self-constructed panel of X chromosomal multi-insertion/deletions.

Department of Forensic Medicine, Guizhou Medical University, Guiyang, Guizhou, 550025, China.
In this research, a self-developed panel comprising 22 X chromosomal multi-InDels and one X-STR was used to explore the genetic polymorphisms and forensic characteristics of these loci in Guizhou Miao and Guizhou Bouyei populations. Besides, genetic affiliations among Guizhou Miao, Guizhou Bouyei and Guizhou Han populations were investigated using principal component analysis, STRUCTURE and machine learning methods. The findings indicated that these loci in the male and female samples had comprehensive discrimination powers greater than 0.

Article Synopsis
- Over 55% of U.S. lettuce is produced in California, with Monterey County as the leading region, where stunted and wilted lettuce varieties were observed in 2023-2024, showing significant disease symptoms.
- Diseased plants exhibited brown lesions that developed into sunken cavities, with infection rates ranging from 5% to 75%, and lab analysis revealed the presence of Phytophthora, a harmful pathogen associated with these symptoms.
- Genetic analysis of the isolates indicated hybridization among different Phytophthora species, suggesting the emergence of a new hybrid taxon proposed as P. taxon ×salinaslettuce, which was tested for pathogenicity on various lettuce cultivars.
Triple-oxygen isotopes of stony micrometeorites by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS): Olivine, basaltic glass and iron oxide matrix effects for sensitive high-mass resolution ion microprobe-stable isotope (SHRIMP-SI).

Rationale: Micrometeorites are extraterrestrial particles smaller than ~2 mm in diameter, most of which melted during atmospheric entry and crystallised or quenched to form 'cosmic spherules'. Their parentage among meteorite groups can be inferred from triple-oxygen isotope compositions, for example, by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). This method uses sample efficiently, preserving spherules for other investigations.

The illegal trade in tigers (Panthera tigris) and their derivatives, such as bones, teeth and pelts, is a major threat to the species' long-term persistence. As wild tiger populations have dwindled, a large proportion of trafficked tiger products now derive from captive breeding facilities found throughout Asia. Moreover, wild tigers have been poached and laundered into captive facilities, then falsely designated as captive-bred.

Triploidy is very useful in both aquaculture and some cultivated plants as the induced sterility helps to enhance growth and product quality, as well as acting as a barrier against the contamination of wild populations by escapees. To use genetic information from triploids for academic or breeding purposes, an efficient and robust method to genotype triploids is needed. We developed such a method for genotype calling from SNP arrays, and we implemented it in the R package named GenoTriplo.
