Phylogenetic information in inter-SINE and inter-SSR fingerprints of the Artiodactyla and evolution of the Bov-tA SINE

Various interspersed repeated sequences and elements (IRSs) can be utilized to generate PCR-based multilocus fingerprint profiles by amplifying the interelement segments, using primers matching the elements themselves. We assessed the utility of inter-IRS fingerprinting in phylogenetic comparisons a...

Description
Summary:Various interspersed repeated sequences and elements (IRSs) can be utilized to generate PCR-based multilocus fingerprint profiles by amplifying the interelement segments, using primers matching the elements themselves. We assessed the utility of inter-IRS fingerprinting in phylogenetic comparisons among six artiodactyl species using several primers derived from two abundant genomic components: the Bov-tA short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) and simple sequence repeats or microsatellites (SSRs). Character- and distance-based analyses of the fingerprint data produced trees conforming to the established phylogenetic relationships of species. The strength of phylogenetic signal from different primers varied; combining data from different experiments resulted in robust trees. Within the Cervidae, the hierarchical relationship [( Odocoileus , Rangifer ) Alces ] was strongly supported. Both methods appear useful tools for systematic studies at time scales 25 Myr ago, which is in line with the observed fingerprint distributions.
