Structure and genetic variation of the mitochondrial control region in the hone...
Gonçalves, Rita; Freitas, Ana Isabel; Jesus, José; De la Rúa, Pilar; Brehm, AntonioAlthough the mitochondrial molecule of the honey bee is completely sequenced, the control region is rarely used for genetic inferences as in other invertebrates, due to several constraints mainly a biased A plus T content and extensive variable length repeats. Herein, we have analyzed the control region of honey bees from the Iberian Peninsula and North Atlantic islands. The information retrieved when comparing...
Genetic identity of Pipistrellus maderensis from the Madeira archipelago: a fir...
Jesus, José; Teixeira, Sérgio; Freitas, Tamira; Teixeira, David; Brehm, AntonioAccording to the IUCN global Red List, Pipistrellus maderensis is among the most endangered bat species in Europe. Its populations are scattered across some islands of the Atlantic Ocean, particularly Madeira and the Canary archipelagoes. This geographical pattern is likely to result in significant genetic differences between populations which would have important implications to set conservation priorities. To...
Population data of five STRs in three regions from Portugal
Fernandes, Ana Teresa; Brehm, AntonioAllele and haplotype frequencies of five chromosome STR loci (CD4, TPO, FES, TH01 and VWA) were determined for unrelated males throughout Portugal. This report presents STR data for three separate regions of Portugal, being the first time that data on the south of the country is presented. This study reveals that the three regions from Portugal are not genetically homogeneous. The north of Portugal presents sig...
