On the purpose of enhancing the forensic efficiency of CODIS STR loci, new STR loci have been gradually discovered and developed into some commercial multiplex systems. Recently, 22 STR loci including 18 non-CODIS STR loci and four CODIS STR loci were investigated in 501 unrelated healthy individuals of Kazakh ethnic group. Seven to 20 alleles at the different loci were identified and altogether 276 alleles for 22 selected loci were detected with the corresponding allelic frequencies ranging from 0.0010 to 0.3623. No significant deviation was observed from the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium test for any of the 22 STRs. The value of cumulative power of discrimination in Kazakh group was 1-1.00E−28. Analyses of population differentiations and genetic distances between Kazakh and other Chinese groups presented that the Kazakh group with the Uygur group. These 22 STR loci evenly distributed on 22 different autosomal chromosomes were characterized by high genetic diversities and therefore could be utilized in the forensic cases to further increase the discrimination performance.

From the DNA libraries enriched by the repeat motifs (AAAC)6, (AATC)6, (ACAG)6, (ACCT)6, (ACTC)6, ACTG)6, (AAAT)8, (AACT)8, (AAGT)8, (AGAT)8, for two viviparous sea anemones Aulactinia stella and Cribrinopsis albopunctata, 41 primer pairs were developed. These primer pairs resulted in the identification of 41 candidate microsatellite loci in either A. stella or C. albopunctata. Polymorphic loci were identified in both sea anemone species for 13 of the primer pairs and can be applicable for population genetics researches.

The Curimatidae family plays an ecological role in the recycling and distribution of nutrients and constitutes a major food source for several commercially important fishes. Curimata mivartii, a member of this family, is considered a short-distance migratory species (≤100 km), categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as a near threatened species, based on its declining population densities and habitat disturbance and fragmentation. Since population genetics and species-specific molecular tools remain unknown for all members of the Curimatidae family, this study developed a set of microsatellite loci and studied the population genetics of C. mivartii in the lower section of the Colombian Magdalena-Cauca basin. The results showed high levels of genetic diversity and evidence of gene flow even between locations separated over 350 km. This information provides a baseline for designing conservation and management programs for C.mivartii and constitutes the first study of population genetics in Curimatidae.

This study explores the question of how ethnic groups were assimilated by the Imperial State to be placed under the administration of the central government and how their ethnicity changed during this process of nationalization. This paper studies the case of the Yi ethnic group in Bailu Ying of Mianning county, Sichuan Province in China. The ancestors of Yi people in Bailu Ying lived on Mount Daliang before the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty. In the early period of the Ming Dynasty, the government had set up Ningfan Garrison on the river valley on the west side of Mount Daliang. By the late Wanli Period, the garrison was consistently being attacked by the indigenous people in the area. In order to quell the resistance, the Imperial Court recruited Yi people as soldiers to guard the garrison. Afterwards, a new settlement of the Yi tribe in the Bailu Ying River valley emerged, and in the process the Yi people’s livelihood was transformed from herding and fishing to agriculture. In the early Qing, the Yi people in Bailu Ying were further integrated into the Imperial system with the inclusion of chieftains in the imperial governing body. However, up until the later years of the Qianlong reign, the Yi maintained relative autonomy in terms of its tribal settlement, power structure and cultural integrity. Later, with the arrival of new Han migrants, the introduction of the Baojia system, and the promotion of Han culture and education, the Yi group in Bailu Ying gradually lost its independence and began to be assimilated into the national identity, leading to the formation of Shuitian (rice field) Yi ethnicity. The case of the Shuitian Yi shows that the survival strategy of tribal minorities from the mountains did not necessarily follow the pattern of ‘avoiding becoming part of empires’, as suggested by James C. Scott, nor were these ethnic people always slow and passive in integrating with empires. On the contrary, the acceptance of the imperial rule was a survival strategy that helped to creating new ethnic groups while also consolidating frontiers for the Ming and Qing Empires.
