TLDR
A genetic linkage map of microsatellite loci in the feline genome has been constructed including 246 autosomal and 7 X-linked loci, which provides a valuable resource for mapping phenotypic variation in the species and relating it to gene maps of other mammals, including human.About:

Species diversity enhances ecosystem functioning through interspecific facilitation
TL;DR: It is shown that increasing the species diversity of a functional group of aquatic organisms induces facilitative interactions, leading to non-additive changes in resource consumption, which may alter the probability of positive species interactions, resulting in disproportionately large changes in the functioning of ecosystems.

A southern California freeway is a physical and social barrier to gene flow in carnivores.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined movements of two highly mobile carnivores across the Ventura Freeway near Los Angeles, one of the busiest highways in the United States, and found that carnivores can cross the freeway and that 5-32% of sampled carnivores crossed over a 7-year period.

TL;DR: Comparative genetic assessment expands the utility of dense genetic maps of human, mouse, and rat genomes in gene discovery, in functional genomics, and in tracking the evolutionary forces that sculpted the genome organization of modern mammalian species.

Detecting hybridization between wild species and their domesticated relatives
TL;DR: Results indicate that introgressive hybridization can be locally pervasive, and that conservation plans should be implemented to preserve the integrity of the gene pools of wild populations, as well as evaluating risks of outbreeding depression.

Genetic diversity and introgression in the Scottish wildcat.
Mark A. Beaumont,E. M. Barratt,Dada Gottelli,Andrew C. Kitchener,M. J. Daniels,Jonathan K. Pritchard,Michael William Bruford +6 more
TL;DR: It is argued that this is evidence that these cats do not have very recent domestic ancestry, but from the morphological data it is highly likely that this gene pool also contains a contribution from earlier introgression of domestic cat genes.

Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual
TL;DR: Molecular Cloning has served as the foundation of technical expertise in labs worldwide for 30 years as mentioned in this paper and has been so popular, or so influential, that no other manual has been more widely used and influential.

Improved tools for biological sequence comparison.
TL;DR: Three computer programs for comparisons of protein and DNA sequences can be used to search sequence data bases, evaluate similarity scores, and identify periodic structures based on local sequence similarity.

TL;DR: The genomic sequencing procedures are applicable to the analysis of genetic polymorphisms, DNA methylation at deoxycytidines, and nucleic acid-protein interactions at single nucleotide resolution.

Abundant class of human DNA polymorphisms which can be typed using the polymerase chain reaction
James L. Weber,P E May +1 more
TL;DR: It is reported that specific human (dC-dA)n.(dG-dT)n blocks are polymorphic in length among individuals and therefore represent a vast new pool of potential genetic markers.
