Captive management of ex situ populations of endangered species is traditionally based on
pedigree information derived from studbook data. However, molecular methods could …

Background Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a major predictive and diagnostic marker in
several cancers including colorectal carcinomas. Diagnostic testing for microsatellites is …

Microsatellites are valuable molecular markers for evolutionary and ecological studies. Next
generation sequencing is responsible for the increasing number of microsatellites for non …

Microsatellites, or MSATs, offer a fast and cost-effective way for biobanks to establish a
biospecimen genetic profile. Importantly, this genetic profile can be used to authenticate …

Genealogical relationships among colony members, inbreeding status, and presence of
hybrids are crucial data that can assist zoo curators in captive colony management and …

Long term studies, focusing on population-and socio-biology research, require the
unequivocal identification of individuals. DNA studies with Short Tandem Repeats (STR loci) …

Objective: The objective of this investigation was to address the limitations of the most
popular microsatellite instability (MSI) detection method, which uses fluorescent capillary …

Few studies have attempted to investigate carnivore dynamics in the privatised agricultural
sector of South Africa. As such, the effect of lethal predator management on carnivore …

Microsatellites are a type of polymorphic genetic marker that have found extensive use in
many applications. Perhaps most notable is their utility in the field of forensics; analysis of …

Maintenance of ex situ populations for species conservation is a collaborative effort
involving multiple agencies, institutions, and individuals around the world. Gentoo penguins …
