In recent years, molecular markers have been utilized for a variety of applications including
examination of genetic relationships between individuals, mapping of useful genes …

Simple-sequence repeats (SSRs) have increasingly become the marker of choice for
population genetic analyses. Unfortunately, the development of traditional 'anonymous' …

Molecular ecologists increasingly require 'universal'genetic markers that can easily be
transferred between species. The distribution of cross‐species transferability of nuclear …

The field of molecular ecology has expanded enormously in the past two decades, largely
because of the growing ease with which neutral molecular genetic data can be obtained …

Genomics and bioinformatics have great potential to help address numerous topics in
ecology and evolution. Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) can bridge genomics and …

Forest trees have gained much attention in recent years as nonclassical model eukaryotes
for population, evolutionary and ecological genomic studies. Because of low domestication …

Expressed sequence tag (EST) databases represent a potentially valuable resource for the
development of molecular markers for use in evolutionary studies. Because EST-derived …

Transferable DNA markers are essential for breeding and genetics. Grapevine (Vitis)
breeders utilize disease resistance alleles from congeneric species~ 20 million years …

The importance of natural selection for shaping adaptive trait differentiation among natural
populations of allogamous tree species has long been recognized. Determining the …

Biotechnology is integral to the application of robust, high through-put detection of species-
specific and species or genus-transferred microsatellites, or simple sequence repeat (SSR) …
