Genetic diversity of local cattle*
The Slovak Pinzgau breed faces the bottleneck effect and the loss of diversity due to unequal use of founders and significant population decline. Further population size reduction can lead to serious problems. High-throughput genotypes of 179 individuals were used to characterise genetic diversity and differentiation of Slovak Pinzgau, Austrian Pinzgau,

PCR amplification of a long rDNA segment with one primer pair in agriculturally important nematodes
Ribosomal DNA has been a reliable source of taxonomic and phylogenetic markers due to its high copy number in the genome and stable variation with few polymorphisms due to the homogenizing effect of concerted evolution.

Genetic diversity in introduced populations with Allee effect [PDF]
A phenomenon that strongly influences the demography of small introduced populations and thereby potentially their genetic diversity is the Allee effect, a reduction in population growth rates at small population sizes. We take a stochastic modeling approach to investigate levels of genetic diversity in populations that successfully overcame a strong ...

A genome-wide survey of genetic variation in gorillas using reduced representation sequencing [PDF]
All non-human great apes are endangered in the wild, and it is therefore important to gain an understanding of their demography and genetic diversity. To date, however, genetic studies within these species have largely been confined to mitochondrial DNA and a small number of other loci.

Genetic Diversity in a Soybean Collection
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] was domesticated in China, and cultivated landraces were initially distributed throughout Asia and more recently extended to Europe and America. Previous studies of genetic diversity suggest a strong genetic bottleneck between Asian and North American soybean genetic pools. However, little is known about the potentially
