Seasonal changes in the genetic diversity of two rodent populations, midday gerbil (Meriones meridianus) and northern three-toed jerboa (Dipus sagitta), detected by ISSR.

Abstract excerpt

Seasonal changes in genetic diversity of Meriones meridianus and Dipus sagitta populations in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region were monitored using inter-simple sequence repeats. There were 45 discernible DNA fragments isolated from 33 samples of M. meridianus, and 25 from 40 samples of D. sagitta. The differences in gene frequencies are statistically significant for some alleles. Nei's index revealed that the...
