The first step to establishing appropriate broodstock management and conservation programs and to avoid decreasing genetic variability in this selective breeding program is the development of molecular genetic markers that can be used for evaluation of genetic stock determinations in gene flow rates. However, morphologically it is rather difficult to distinguish between one individual and another. The purpose of this study was to analyze genetic variation to prove differences in intrapopulated crabs. Small crab samples were collected from the district. Kaimana, West Papua. Morphological analysis was carried out by looking at differences in the color and pattern of white spots between one individual and another. The isolation of the crab CO1 gene was carried out by analyzing each individual after grouping it based on morphology. The results of the morphological analysis showed that males had seven color patterns and white carapace patterns while females had five color patterns and white spots on the carapace. However, there is little difference between morphology and genetics, especially in females, where the female is genetically divided into only two major groups. This indicates that there is information on phylogenetic relationships between individuals. The white spot on the carapace is genetically influenced so that it can be used to identify species or varieties, while the carapace color has not been shown to be influenced by the CO1 gene.

Обязательными условиями успешного сохранения и использования различных сортов сельскохозяйственных культур является идентификация и контроль генетической изменчивости сортов, для изучения которой используются различные методы, в том числе методы молекулярно-генетического анализа. В связи с быстрым развитием селекции, ежегодно появляются десятки новых сортов винограда, требующих паспортизации. Молекулярные маркеры могут способствовать подбору родительских пар для скрещивания, повышению точности и ускорению селекционного процесса, так как идентификация исходного материала с использованием молекулярных маркеров и анализ результатов скрещивания могут быть выполнены в достаточно короткий период. К наиболее информативным молекулярным маркерам относятся микросателлитные маркеры, основанные на анализе простых повторяющихся повторов (simple sequence repeats, SSR). Анализ полиморфизма SSR локусов позволяет изучить генетическую изменчивость сельскохозяйственных культур на уровне генома. Цель нашего исследования - генотипирование, оценка аллельного разнообразия и ДНК-паспортизация ряда сортов винограда селекции Института «Магарач» на основе SSR анализа. Основной метод, использованный в работе, - полимеразная цепная реакция (ПЦР) и фрагментный анализ продуктов ПЦР на генетическом анализаторе ABI 3130. В результате фрагментного анализа были генотипированы 8 селекционных сортов Института «Магарач» по 9 ядерным микросателлитным локусам (nSSR). Размеры аллелей оценены с помощью программы Gene Mapper v. 4.0. Полиморфизм микросателлитных локусов и генетическое разнообразие рассчитано с использованием программы Popgene (v. 1.32). Сравнительный анализ nSSR профилей ДНК изученных сортов позволил установить, что все сорта имеют уникальные профили. Всего идентифицировано 69 аллелей, среднее число аллелей - 7,67 аллелей/локус. На основании размеров аллелей составлены индивидуальные молекулярно-генетические паспорта в соответствии с международными стандартами.Identification and control of genetic variation of different varieties of agricultural crops enter as prerequisites for their efficient conservation and use. Genetic variation is investigated by means of a wide set of methods, including those relying on molecular-genetic analysis. Every year, dozens of new breedings of grapevine come into being, and their passportization is necessary. Molecular markets can promote selection of parent pairs for crossing, improve efficiency of breeding and accelerate the process as enable both identification of the initial material and analysis of crossing results to be done in a sufficiently short period of time. The highest information value is associated with microsatellite markers consisting of simple sequence repeats (SSR). Analysis of polymorphism of SSR loci allows to investigate genetic variation of agricultural crops at the level of genome. The goals of the study were to conduct genotyping of a number of grape breedings developed by the Institute Magarach, to assess their allelic diversity and to achieve DNA passportization based on SSR analysis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fragment analysis of PCR products with the use of a genetic analizer ABI 3130 were the main methods the study relied upon. As a result of the aforesaid analysis, eight new breedings of the Institute were genotyped for nine nuclear microsatellite loci (nSSR). The sizes of alleles were assessed using Gene Mapper v. 4.0 software. Popgene (v. 1.32) software was used to calculate polymorphism of microsatellite loci and genetic diversity. A comparative nSSR-analysis of DNA-profiles of the study varieties indicated that all of them had unique profiles. A total of 69 alleles were identified, with 7.67 alleles per locus on an average. Based on the sizes of the alleles, individual molecular-genetic passports of the varieties were made, in accordance with international standards.

Estimating effects of parental and sibling genotypes (indirect genetic effects) can provide insight into how the family environment influences phenotypic variation. There is growing molecular genetic evidence for effects of parental phenotypes on their offspring (e.g. parental educational attainment), but the extent to which siblings affect each other is currently unclear.Here we used data from samples of unrelated individuals, without (singletons) and with biological full-siblings (non-singletons), to investigate and estimate sibling effects. Indirect genetic effects of siblings increase (or decrease) the covariance between genetic variation and a phenotype. It follows that differences in genetic association estimates between singletons and non-singletons could indicate indirect genetic effects of siblings.We used UK Biobank data to estimate polygenic risk score (PRS) associations for height, BMI and educational attainment in singletons (N = 50,143) and non-singletons (N = 328,549). The educational attainment PRS association estimate was 12% larger (95% C.I. 3%, 21%) in the non-singleton sample than in the singleton sample, but the height and BMI PRS associations were consistent. Birth order data suggested that the difference in educational attainment PRS associations was driven by individuals with older siblings rather than firstborns. The relationship between number of siblings and educational attainment PRS associations was non-linear; PRS associations were 24% smaller in individuals with 6 or more siblings compared to the rest of the sample (95% C.I. 11%, 38%). We estimate that a 1 SD increase in sibling educational attainment PRS corresponds to a 0.025 year increase in the index individual’s years in schooling (95% C.I. 0.013, 0.036).Our results suggest that older siblings influence the educational attainment of younger siblings, adding to the growing evidence that effects of the environment on phenotypic variation partially reflect social effects of germline genetic variation in relatives.

Фибриноген и коллаген являются важнейшими протеинами межклеточного матрикса, оказывающие прямое влияние как на дифференцировку мезенхимальных стволовых клеток, так и на остеогенез. Кроме того, в клинической практике встречаются случаи протекания данного синдрома не в классическом виде, которые требуют более углубленного изучения звеньев патогенеза и разработки оптимальной коррекции заболевания. Нами проведен поиск литературных данных по ключевым словам в базах данных PubMed, UpToDate, BMJ. Представлен обзор современных научных данных и результаты наблюдения редкого клинического случая у пациента с гиподисфибриногенемией с проявлениями асептического некроза головок бедренных костей без гематомезенхимальной дисплазии. Заключение: В целом, в настоящее время подробно изучены различные аспекты клинико-биохимического патогенеза аномалий фибриногена, но остаются «белые пятна» в изучении тонких патогенетических механизмов на молекулярно-генетическом уровне, а именно: катаболизм белка, реакции раздельного синтеза отдельных полипептидных цепей фибриногена в разных тканях. Остается нерешенным вопрос о целесообразности применения корригирующих гемостаз препаратов таргетного действия при отсутствии у пациента выраженных тромботических и геморрагических проявлений. Fibrinogen and collagen are the most important intercellular matrix proteins that directly effect on the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and osteogenesis. In addition, there are non-classical cases of this syndrome that require indepth study of pathogenesis and optimal disease correction. We examined literature data by keywords in databases PubMed, UpToDate, BMJ. We presented a review of current scientific data and observation results of a rare clinical case in a patient with hypodysfibrinogenemia without hematomesenchymal dysplasia with manifestations of aseptic necrosis of femoral heads. Conclusions: In general, various aspects of clinical and biochemical pathogenesis of fibrinogen abnormalities are currently studied in detail, but there are “white spots” in the study of sophisticated pathogenetic mechanisms at the molecular genetic level, namely protein catabolism, the reaction of separate synthesis of individual fibrinogen polypeptide chains in different tissues. Unresolved is the question of applicability of hemostatic corrective drugs in the absence of expressed thrombotic and hemorrhagic manifestations.

Endophenotypes are traits that, while genetically related to an illness, are not used for diagnoses (e.g., a symptom). It is unlikely that specific genes directly code for any of our current psychiatric diagnoses. Rather, genes influence neurobiological processes that either increase or decrease risk for mental illness. One use of an endophenotype is to help characterize a genetic locus or gene previously identified as conferring risk for a particular illness. In this context, endophenotypes help to bridge the gap between a behavioral syndrome and molecular genetic variation. Alternately, endophenotypes can be used for novel locus or gene discovery, particularly when used in multivariate analyses. In this chapter, we define endophenotypes and describe different ways they have been applied to aid our understanding of the genetic architecture of psychiatric disorders.

The species delimitations of African, Arabian Peninsula, and western Indian Ocean island members of the Molossidae bat species complex Chaerephon pumilus remain largely unresolved. Based on genetic analyses this group is paraphyletic, with C. leucogaster nested within C. pumilus sensu lato, and the latter is composed of several distinct clades. DNA was isolated from a specimen of C. p. pumilus obtained at the type locality (Massawa, Eritrea). Although incomplete, this sequence allowed us to clearly define which clade is referable to nominate pumilus, a critical step in resolving the systematics of this species complex. Using morphological and molecular genetic (cytochrome b and D-loop sequences) characters, we establish that C. leucogaster and C. 'pumilus' on Madagascar represent two different lineages and that the Malagasy population referred to C. 'pumilus' is specifically distinct from those on Africa, the islands and mainland Africa. The population of C. pusillus from the western Seychelles atoll of Aldabra cluster with that of the Comoros, rather than Madagascar. For numerous other species of volant vertebrates (bats and birds), the origin of the Aldabra fauna is mixed between the Comoros and Madagascar (e.g., Goodman & Ranivo 2008; O'Brien et al. 2009; Pasquet et al. 2007; Warren et al. 2003). Hence, in the case of these 9-17 g Chaerephon bats, these water barriers have been associated with the isolation and subsequent differentiation of populations after successful dispersal and colonization events. In contrast, within the Comoros, there is no apparent genetic structure between with the individual islands, which are separated by 40 and 80 km, indicating that this distance is regularly traversed by these bats and giving rise to intra-archipelago panmixia of populations.
