Development and Characterization of Microsatellite Markers for Common Buckwheat
Breeding Science, 2006 So far, only five microsatellite markers have been developed in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum). The purpose of the present study was to develop a larger number of microsatellite markers in common buckwheat. By sequencing 2785 clones from the libraries, which were enriched for (CT)n and (GT)n repeats using magnetic particles, it was shown that ...

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.
