Published: June 1996

We report the sequences, sizes, and number of alleles of 414 new porcine microsatellites that were cloned in our laboratory and 21 microsatellites derived from GenBank DNA sequences. We also confirm the usefulness of porcine microsatellite primer pairs derived from short interdispersed elements.

Development of microsatellite markers for the soft tick Ornithodoros phacochoerus.

Parasit Vectors

July 2024

UMR ASTRE, CIRAD, INRAE, Campus de Baillarguet, 34398, Montpellier, France.

Article Synopsis
  • Soft ticks from the Ornithodoros genus are important for spreading the African swine fever virus and Borrelia species, highlighting the need for genetic markers as ASF spreads globally.* -
  • Researchers designed 151 microsatellite markers based on the genomes of Ornithodoros moubata and O. porcinus, eventually narrowing it down to 24 markers tested on O. phacochoerus and four other species.* -
  • The finalized 19 robust microsatellite markers provide a new genetic tool to study the population structure and movement of O. phacochoerus in areas affected by ASF.*

Article Synopsis
  • * Analysis of genetic diversity through microsatellite markers showed high heterozygosities (0.83) and polymorphism, but identified seven loci that deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, suggesting genetic mixing among pig populations in the region.
  • * The study proposes a unique regional lineage, UKD (Uttarakhand Domestic), highlighting both the benefits of increased genetic diversity and the risks of losing distinct breed characteristics due to traditional management practices that promote genetic overlap.

Population genetics reveals new introgression in the nucleus herd of min pigs.

Genes Genomics

April 2024

Key Laboratory of Animal Cellular and Genetics Engineering of Heilongjiang Province, College of Life Science, Northeast Agricultural University, Harbin, 150030, People's Republic of China.

Objective: Min pigs are a unique genetic resource among local pig breeds in China. They have more excellent characteristics in cold and stress resistance, good meat quality, and a high reproductive rate. However, the genetic structure and driving factors remain unclear in the nucleus herd.
