| genetic variability in east asian dogs using microsatellite loci analysis. | an analysis of eight microsatellite loci in 213 animals was performed to define the genetic structure and variability of 11 east asian native dog populations. allele diversity, observed heterozygosities, expected heterozygosities, f-statistics, g(st) estimates, number of migrants per generation (nm), and nei's da distance were calculated. expected mean heterozygosities of asian native dogs varied within a range of 0.310-0.718 with a mean value of 0.580. in a sample of 11 asian dogs, the highest ... | 2001 | 11773246 |
| epidemiological survey of babesia species in japan performed with specimens from ticks collected from dogs and detection of new babesia dna closely related to babesia odocoilei and babesia divergens dna. | detection and analysis of babesia species from ticks recovered from dogs in japan were attempted by pcr and nucleotide sequence analysis based on the 18s rrna gene, respectively. a total of 1136 ticks were examined for babesia dna by 18s rrna-based pcr and nucleotide sequencing. partial sequences of babesia canis vogeli dna were detected from six ticks in aomori, nara, hiroshima, oita, and okinawa prefectures; and babesia gibsoni asia-1 dna was also detected in four ticks in osaka, hiroshima, mi ... | 2003 | 12904344 |
| copy number variations in the amylase gene (amy2b) in japanese native dog breeds. | a recent study suggested that increased copy numbers of the amy2b gene might be a crucial genetic change that occurred during the domestication of dogs. to investigate amy2b expansion in ancient breeds, which are highly divergent from modern breeds of presumed european origins, we analysed copy numbers in native japanese dog breeds. copy numbers in the akita and shiba, two ancient breeds in japan, were higher than those in wolves. however, compared to a group of various modern breeds, akitas had ... | 2015 | 26358734 |
| japanese wolves are genetically divided into two groups based on an 8-nucleotide insertion/deletion within the mtdna control region. | the mitochondrial dna (mtdna) control region (198- to 598-bp) of four ancient canis specimens (two canis mandibles, a cranium, and a first phalanx) was examined, and each specimen was genetically identified as japanese wolf. two unique nucleotide substitutions, the 78-c insertion and the 482-g deletion, both of which are specific for japanese wolf, were observed in each sample. based on the mtdna sequences analyzed, these four specimens and 10 additional japanese wolf samples could be classified ... | 2016 | 26853868 |
| incidence of dogs possessing red blood cells with high k in japan and east asia. | the phenotype of high k (hk) red blood cells, which is an autosomal recessive, was found in dog groups from 10 of 13 breeds or populations in japan. the incidence of hk was 26 to 38% in the san'in-shiba, shinshu-shiba and akita breeds, and the gene frequencies of hk ranged from 0.513 to 0.612. the highest incidence (42%) was found in the jindo breed from korea, and the gene frequency was 0.652. two other groups from korea also possessed this hk variation. however, although hk cells were not foun ... | 1997 | 9234231 |
