To develop DNA markers for forensic analysis, we examined the hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) sequences of 447 pure-bred domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) that had been bred and raised in Japan. HVR1 is a 660-bp stretch of mitochondrial (mt) DN...
Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate genetic heterogeneity among local Japanese populations. Methods: We performed a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) study of four demographically distinct local populations (population 1: a large...

The mouse genomic sequence of the region containing the gene Rhced, the orthologue to the human gene RH30, was determined to elucidate the structure of Rhced and its flanking regions and to compare these with the corresponding human genomic region...
