MAIN GOALS AND TASKS

Fellows of the Room

Sample preparation for
molecular-genetic study

The Room for Molecular Diagnostics Methods as an independent subdivision of the SIEE was organized in 2003.

The work is carried out according to the following main directions:

• ecology of organisms and communities;
• biological diversity;
• general genetics.

The main task of the subdivision is the study of the patterns of formation of intra-species structure and evaluation of biodiversity of animals at molecular-genetic level. On the basis of analysis of polymorphism in mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, population structure and genetic diversity of the species and groups is studied: Ungulata and Carnivora mammals, cetaceans and rodents, birds from the order of Anseriformes and also of amphibians, fishes and some invertebrates.

In 2003 a gathering of technical basis of the room was undertaken.

The database presents results of Bowhead whales of the Sea of Okhotsk individual genotyping (skin biopsy analysis): complete sequences of cytochrome b gene and mtDNA control region, allelic composition of 14 microsatellite loci.

Sections: Individual genotypes, Info on primers, Gel-electrophoresis, Aееepted allelic bins, Concordance of alleles designation, References, Acknowledgments

The database will be extended as new samples analysis will done.

Any use of the data presented requires citation!
