Isolation and characterization of 21 microsatellite markers in the barn owl (Tyto alba).

We report 21 new polymorphic microsatellite markers in the European barn owl (Tyto alba). The polymorphism of the reported markers was evaluated in a population situated in western Switzerland and in another from Tenerife, Canary Islands. The number of alleles per locus varies between two and 31, and expected heterozygosity per population ranges from 0.16 to 0.95. All loci are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and no linkage disequilibrium was detected. Two loci exhibit a null allele in the Tenerife population.

Comparison of human chromosome 21 conserved nongenic sequences (CNGs) with the mouse and dog genomes shows that their selective constraint is independent of their genic environment.

The analysis of conservation between the human and mouse genomes resulted in the identification of a large number of conserved nongenic sequences (CNGs). The functional significance of this nongenic conservation remains unknown, however. The availability of the sequence of a third mammalian genome, the dog, allows for a large-scale analysis of evolutionary attributes of CNGs in mammals. We have aligned 1638 previously identified CNGs and 976 conserved exons (CODs) from human chromosome 21 (Hsa21) with their orthologous sequences in mouse and dog. Attributes of selective constraint, such as sequence conservation, clustering, and direction of substitutions were compared between CNGs and CODs, showing a clear distinction between the two classes. We subsequently performed a chromosome-wide analysis of CNGs by correlating selective constraint metrics with their position on the chromosome and relative to their distance from genes. We found that CNGs appear to be randomly arranged in intergenic regions, with no bias to be closer or farther from genes. Moreover, conservation and clustering of substitutions of CNGs appear to be completely independent of their distance from genes. These results suggest that the majority of CNGs are not typical of previously described regulatory elements in terms of their location. We propose models for a global role of CNGs in genome function and regulation, through long-distance cis or trans chromosomal interactions.

La Merluza en la Eureka XL, 19-21 de Julio, 1978

Demuestra que durante la Operación Eureka XL, la merluza mostró visiblemente un panorama con características diferentes a los modelos normales de distribución. Este cambio tiene importancia vital en la explotación y en la administración del recurso merluza. Menciona que la flota de altura ha cambiado su área habitual de pesca y otras flotas costeras están capturando la especie en forma no usual.

Operación Eureka - XL, 19-21 de julio 1978

Expone los resultados de la ejecución de la operación Eureka XL desarrollada del 19 al 21 de julio habiéndose explorado el área costera hasta las 80 millas afuera, comprendida desde Paita a la frontera sur y utilizando 18 embarcaciones. Se determinó la distribución e intensidad del desove de la anchoveta, especies pelágicas y otras.
