“…All these analyses are consistent in suggesting an early separation of the S. atra aurorae lineage within the S. atra group but a phylogenetic tree based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b (Ribéron, 1999;Ribéron et al, 2001) and a similarity tree based on the AFLP technique (Ribéron et al, 2004) differ from our phylogeny by suggesting a close relationship between S. a. aurorae and some northern Dalmatian populations. However, both the latter analyses used samples from Dalmatian localities different to ours, which might be essential for the outcome.…”

“…However, both the latter analyses used samples from Dalmatian localities different to ours, which might be essential for the outcome. Moreover, mitochondrial (Cyt b gene; Ribéron et al, 2001) and nuclear genes (AFLP tree; Ribéron et al, 2004) seem to suggest significantly different phylogenetic hypotheses.…”

“…Previous phylogenetic analyses of the S. atra group (Ribéron, 1999;Steinfartz et al, 2000;Ribéron et al, 2001Ribéron et al, , 2004 did not include the peculiar population from the Pasubio massif and were therefore not suitable for exploring the evolution of body colour within S. atra. All these analyses are consistent in suggesting an early separation of the S. atra aurorae lineage within the S. atra group but a phylogenetic tree based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b (Ribéron, 1999;Ribéron et al, 2001) and a similarity tree based on the AFLP technique (Ribéron et al, 2004) differ from our phylogeny by suggesting a close relationship between S. a. aurorae and some northern Dalmatian populations.…”

“…Extraction was carried out by the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit (Qiagen, Germany) after proteinase K digestion. The primer combinations, Fish ND6F and Betta cabout R and Fish 12F1 and Fish 12F2 (own sequence), were used to amplify the mitochondrial conserved region cytochrome b [20] and portions of the ribosomal gene, 12S [21], respectively ( Table 1).…”

The decline of ornamental fish populations in their native habitats due to over-fishing has brought about the development of ornamental fish aquaculture, to which fish of the Anabantoidei suborder are important contributors. The genetic variations among species of this suborder were examined by mitochondrial gene sequencing analysis using the cytochrome b and 12S genes. According to the cytochrome b gene, the most similar strains were Trichogaster trichopterus (gold) and Trichogaster trichopterus (blue) (100%). Trichogaster leerii was less similar to them (86.0%), and an even lower similarity was found between the species T. trichopterus and Trichogaster labiosus (85.6%). The least similarity was observed between Betta betta and the genera Colisa (50.2%) and Trichogaster (60.1%). The phylogenetic trees of 12S and cytochrome b were very similar. According to 12S, the similarity between Trichogaster species was high (91.4% -100%), and between species of this genus and Colisa lalia, it was lower (88.4%). In conclusion, sequence analyses, based on cytochrome b and 12S can provide a useful tool for the study of the systematic relationships between species belonging to the Anabantoidei suborder. Moreover, it may support other parameters used in systematics. Thus, these genes may be applied as genetic markers in aquaculture.

“…Furthermore, AFLP phenotypes were highly reproducible and, thus, reliable (Vos et al 1995). The AFLP markers have been widely applied in plant studies and more recently to study genetic variation, phylogenic analysis (John et al 2004, Moreno et al 2002, Pelser et al 2003, Riberon et al 2004, Ude et al 2003, Wang et al 2003, and gene mapping among animals such as, rats (Otsen et al 1996), cattle (Ajmone-Marsan et al 1997) and poultry (Knorr et al 1999).…”

Cytogenetic and AFLP Fingerprints for Five Species of Thai Macaques

et al. 2006

Summary Genetic studies of 5 species of macaques using G-banding patterns were investigated. Blood samples of them were examined using lymphocyte culture technique. The results indicate that they have identical data including the number of diploid chromosome is 42; the types of autosomes are metacentrics and submetacentrics viz. 6 large metacentrics, 4 medium metacentrics and 8 small metacentrics, and 8 large submetacentrics, 12 medium submetacentrics and 2 small submetacentrics; the short arm of chromosome pair 13 is a satellite chromosome. A few difference is X and Y chromosome. The X and Y chromosomes are medium submetacentrics and medium metacentrics, and small submetacentric, medium submetacentric and small telocentrics, respectively. The cytogenetic studies show that all 5 species Thai macaques have a common evolutionary relationship. For studying in depths, molecular markers were assessed using the Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) method. The AFLP fingerprints from 7 primer combinations were compared. A total of 1754 bands, with 890 (50.71%) polymorphic bands, were generated. Seven monomorphic bands (0.78%) were found in all individuals of macaques. The average genetic distance (D) between species based on AFLP analysis shows 0.269 to 0.380. The developing of specific cytogenetic and AFLP fingerprints of a species is possible further benefit for humanity.Key words AFLP fingerprints, Chromosome, Cytogenetic, G-banding, Macaca.The macaques, genus Macaca, represent one of the most successful populations within the order Primates. Their geographical distribution ranks second in size among extant primates, with humans taking first place (Deinard and Smith 2001). Although the number of macaque species depends on the classification scheme used, most authors follow the classification determined by Fooden (1976) or Delson (1980), which recognizes 19 extant macaque species. In Thailand, there are 5 species, Macaca arctoides, M. assamensis, M. fascicularis, M. mulatta, and M. nemestrina, which represent all four defined groups, silenus-sylvanus (M. nemestrina), fascicularis (M. fascicularis and M. mulatta), arctoides (M. arctoides) and sinica (M. assamensis), based on the morphological classification scheme by Fooden (1976). Delson (1980) proposed a slightly different classification, which classifies M. sylvanus into its own group and includes M. arctoides in the sinica group.The relationship between monkeys and humans has occurred for a long time as monkeys, macaques, gibbons and apes share a common ancestor with humans, we share many basic features of genetics, development, physiology, and metabolism (Jones et al. 2004). Therefore, many basic and applied scientific investigations of macaques have aimed to cover aspects of their physiology that may be beneficially utilized by humans. Rhesus monkeys are in high demand for biomedical research of human health issues, ranging from diseases and disorders to potential therapies and pre-
