A study of the genetic diversity in the world soybean collection using microsatellite markers associated with fungal disease resistance by A. K. Zatybekov, Y. T. Turuspekov, B. N. Doszhanova, S. I. Abugalieva

“…In this study, the soybean collection consisting of 288 accessions from different countries, including 36 cultivars and promising lines from Kazakhstan, was studied. The molecular genetic analysis was performed using nine polymorphic SSR (simple sequence repeats) markers, seven of which (Satt244, Satt565, Satt038, Satt309, Satt371, Satt570 and Sat_308) were associated with resistance to three main fungal diseases of soybean – frogeye leaf spot, fusarium root rot, and purple seed stain.Results. …”

Combining and congruence evaluation of phylogenetic signals from different genes based on geometric approach by V. M. Efimov, V. Yu. Kovaleva, Yu. N. Litvinov

“…A new Euclidean distance based algorithm is used for analysis of congruence and combining molecular genetic data. This approach is called geometric, since Euclidean distance satisfies all metric axioms and the points representing the sequences can be placed in a geometric space without distorting the mutual distances and can be endowed with the coordinates in this space. …”
