Rapid fixation of non-native alleles revealed by genome-wide SNP analysis of hybrid tiger salamandersBenjamin M Fitzpatrick
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996, USA
BMC Evol Biol 9:176. 2009..To assess variation of admixture dynamics, we scored a large panel of markers in five wild hybrid populations formed when Barred Tiger Salamanders were introduced into the range of California Tiger Salamanders...
Genic regions of a large salamander genome contain long introns and novel genesJeramiah J Smith
Department of Biology and Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Center, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506, USA
BMC Genomics 10:19. 2009..Sixteen BAC clones from the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum: c-value = 32 x 10(9) bp) were isolated and sequenced to characterize the structure of genic regions...
Amphibian sex determination: segregation and linkage analysis using members of the tiger salamander species complex (Ambystoma mexicanum and A. t. tigrinum)J J Smith
Department of Biology and Spinal Cord, Brian Injury Research Center, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA
Heredity (Edinb) 102:542-8. 2009..Localization of ambysex sets the stage for gene identification and provides important tools for studying the effect of sex in laboratory and natural populations of this model amphibian system...
A comprehensive expressed sequence tag linkage map for tiger salamander and Mexican axolotl: enabling gene mapping and comparative genomics in AmbystomaJ J Smith
Department of Biology, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky 40506, USA
Genetics 171:1161-71. 2005..This new collection of EST-based PCR markers will better enable the Ambystoma system by facilitating development of new molecular probes, and the linkage map will allow comparative studies of this important vertebrate group...
Evolution of salamander life cycles: a major-effect quantitative trait locus contributes to discrete and continuous variation for metamorphic timingS R Voss
Department of Biology, University of Kentucky, Lexington, 40506, USA
Genetics 170:275-81. 2005..We suggest that the evolution of paedomorphosis is associated with genetic changes that delay metamorphic timing in biphasic life cycles...
