The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) locus comprises the tandemly arranged genes coding for Tnfa (cachectin)and Tnfb (lymphotoxin-alpha) (Semon et al. 1987). In mice, the TNF locus is located on chromosome 17 (MMU17) in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)region. Tnfa and soluble lymphotoxin alp...

Genetic diversity of sub-Saharan African goats was assessed using 19 microsatellite markers. Breeds were sampled from eastern Africa (Maasai, Kigezi, Mubende, North West Highland, Arsi Bale), southern Africa (Ndebele, Pafuri) and West Africa (West African Dwarf, Maure, Djallonke). European breeds...

The applicability of bovine autosomal micro-satellite markers for population genetic studies on African buffalo was investigated. A total of 168 microsatellite markers were tested for PCR amplification on a test panel of seven African buffalo. Amplification was observed for 139 markers (83 percen...

Using a novel multilocus DNA marker analysis method, we studied the population genetic structure of Trypansoma brucei stocks and derived clones isolated from animal and rhodesiense sleeping sickness patients during a national sleeping sickness control program in Mukono district, Uganda. We then ...
Recent discoveries that high prolificacy in sheep carrying the Booroola gene (FecB) is the result of a mutation in the BMPIB receptor and high prolificacy in Inverdale sheep (FecXI) is the result of a mutation in the BMP15 oocyte-derived growth factor gene have allowed direct marker tests to be d...

A two species comparative genome scanning approach has been taken to mapping, and eventually identifying, genes at quantitative trait loci (QTL) influencing resistance to trypanosomosis due to infection with Trypanosoma congolense. Using two large murine F2 and two F6 advanced intercross populati...

White mold caused by the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary limits common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in temperate climates. Disease resistance has been identified, but breeding is hampered by a paucity of resistance sources and complex inheritance, as numerou...

La situación de moscas blancas como plagas de cultivos semestrales en el Valle del Cauca se diagnosticó entre septiembre de 1997 y agosto de 1998. Se tomaron 78 muestras biológicas en 15 municipios, las cuales se identificaron por morfología del cuarto ínstar ninfal, electroforesis de ?-? esteras...

La antracnosis causada por Colletotrichum lindemuthianum puede llegar a generar pérdidas hasta del 95% de la producción en fríjol (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), por eso es considerada una de las enfermedades más limitantes. Con el presente trabajo se inició un programa de mejoramiento utilizando selecc...
