Draft genome sequence of Japanese wood mouse, Apodemus speciosus.
Masatoshi Matsunami,Masatoshi Matsunami,Masatoshi Matsunami,Daiji Endo,Naruya Saitou,Hitoshi Suzuki,Manabu Onuma +6 more
TL;DR: The wood mouse (genus Apodemus) is one of the most common rodents in broad-leaf forests in the temperate zone of the Palaearctic region and its genetic constitution is limited to partial mitochondrial sequences and a few genes.

Evolution of two Rh blood group-related genes of the amphioxus species Branchiostoma floridae.
TL;DR: It is likely that the four Rh family genes in vertebrates emerged by gene duplications in the common ancestor of vertebrates, and functional differentiation has occurred after the first gene duplication.
A hypervariable STR polymorphism in the complement factor I (CFI) gene: Asian-specific alleles

TL;DR: A short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphism in intron 7 of the human complement factor I (CFI) gene was studied in 637 DNA samples obtained from African, German, Thai, and Japanese populations and German and Japanese families and would be a useful supplementary marker for forensic individualization.
Population Genetic Study in Hainan Island, China II. Genetic Affinity Analyses
TL;DR: In this paper, a population genetic study was carried out on six populations (two Li populations, two Miao populations, one Hui population, and one Han population) in Hainan Island, Southern China.

Reiko Noda,Reiko Noda,Takashi Kitano,Takashi Kitano,Osamu Takenaka,Naruya Saitou,Naruya Saitou +6 more
TL;DR: The authors determined 5 sequences of Japanese macaque ABO blood group gene exon 7 (ca. 0.5kb) and 2 sequences for exon 5 and intron 6 (c. 1.7kb).
