Knowledge of genetic variability is important to remove duplicate materials for gene bank management and conservation. In this study, 59 microsatellite markers were used to assess the genetic diversity of 54 intraspecific (Oryza sativa) and interspecific (Oryza sativa X Oryza glaberrima) irrigated rice varieties by PCR-SSR. A total of 250 alleles were detected with an average of 4.24 alleles per SSR. Genetic diversity was ranged from 0.0713 (RM333, RM3744) to 0.8937 (RM251) to with an average of 0.4325. Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) varied from 0.0688 (RM333, RM3744) to 0.8854 (RM251) with an average of 0.3940. Rice genotypes were shared between five Groups based on their similarity with majority of them (64.81%) under Group V. Variety SK 7-8 within Group III was highly dissimilar to other varieties. Malian varieties were shared out between Groups II, III, VI and V. Strong genetic variability was observed within cluster V2 of Group V among the most cultivated and appreciated rice varieties such as Kogoni 91-1, Adny11 and BG90-2. Allelic variability observed among rice varieties could help breeding programs to identify cultivars with good agronomic traits for crop improvement.","PeriodicalId":88902,"journal":{"name":"International journal of genetics and molecular biology","volume":"1 1","pages":"22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79942833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assessing ARFGEF2 mutations will provide a holistic overview of PH. This retrospective study was conducted in 2016 at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center. For the index patient, magnetic resonance imaging studies revealed a symmetrical focal hyperintensity involving the putamen bilaterally and the inner aspect of the globus pallidus. After family members were genotyped, an autozygosity analysis was performed, followed by exome sequencing of the index patient; A comprehensive filtering approach based on the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was used to identify variants in phenotypically relevant genes. We report a consanguineous family with two affected individuals, a boy and a girl, with a history of microcephaly, global developmental delay, intellectual disability, myoclonic seizure, and dystonia. The patients carried a novel nonsense mutation (c.3974G>A, p. Trp1325*) in the Armadillo-type fold domain of ARFGEF2.

Molecular biology techniques such as fingerprinting are key to crop improvement, and critical for numerous genetic studies. This study, carried out in Ghana, seeks to determine genetic relatedness among two populations of sweet potato (released and elite), as well as to identify polymorphic and informative markers for diversity studies. Twenty expressed sequence tags-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers were used for analysis of DNA assembled. A total of 169 alleles were obtained, with an average of 8.5 alleles per locus. Pairwise genetic distance among genotypes ranged from 12 – 89. GenAlex v6.4 analysis showed that a higher genetic diversity existed within elite genotypes than the released lines. Results analyzed using Popgene version 1.31 software indicated that on the basis of both populations studied, EST-SSR markers utilized were very polymorphic (95%) and showed genetic diversity (I =0.888, He= 0.548) suggesting high heterozygosity in the collected varieties. The overall Fit (0.372%) and Fis (0.088%) suggest high genetic diversity within populations, and gene flow (1.95) indicate an exchange of genes between released sweet potatoes and elite ones. Ewens-Watterson test was conducted to test the neutrality. From the results obtained, markers CB329940, CB330477 and CB330936 showed high allelic polymorphism among varieties used and were recommended to be included in diversity studies. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Genetic diversity, genetic relatedness, expressed sequence tags-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR), populations, released sweet potato, elite sweet potato.","PeriodicalId":88902,"journal":{"name":"International journal of genetics and molecular biology","volume":"26 1","pages":"14-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75533533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among several efficient methods for revealing genetic variability within and among plant populations, one of the most widely applied method is marker analysis. RAPD and ISSR, markers are commonly used because they are quick, simple and environment non-sensitive enabling genetic diversity analysis in several types of plant material like natural populations, population in breeding programmes. Evaluation of genetic diversity would promote the efficient use of genetic variations, effective conservation and purity of the genotype to be determined as well as utilization of germplasm in crop improvement. The RAPD and ISSR data were evaluated to obtain a combined similarity matrix. The similarity coefficient values lay between 0.46–0.68. The RAPD and ISSR cluster tree analysis showed that the eight genotypes could be divided into 4 clusters. The genotype BM 4 was grouped in separate VI cluster. However, PDM 139 was grouped on cluster IIA. In the light of RAPD and ISSR study the parents of the cross BM 4 x PDM 139 were also noticed for their genetic diversity, having 53% dissimilarity and grouped into the separate clusters.","PeriodicalId":88902,"journal":{"name":"International journal of genetics and molecular biology","volume":"5 1","pages":"365"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81408059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
