Introduction: Food allergies (FA) have been increasing dramatically over the past 25 years and the peanut allergy has been noticed more likely for a half-decade as well. The prevalence of FA in children was found to be 10%, which is high compared with adults. Limited periodic reports are available of numerous food allergic reactions in children. Complete exome sequencing in thi.. Read More»

Novel polymorphisms in the PLIN2 gene of Nellore cattle
Authors: Heloisa Defant, Ariana N Meira, Luiz L Coutinho, Luciana CA Regitano, Mirele D Poleti, Gabriel CM Moreira, Marcela Paduan, Pilar Mariani, Adhemar Zerlotini, Gerson B Mourão, Aline SM Cesar
Genetic variations in genes involved in lipid storage, which also may interfere with important phenotypic traits such as intramuscular fat deposition in cattle, can represent useful markers in marker assisted selection programs. An important candidate gene is perilipin 2 (PLIN2) that plays a role in the capture of long chain fatty acids and in the formation and stabilization of lipid d.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of Mongolian native cattle and other cattle breeds based on microsatellite marker
Authors: K.H. Tseveen, J.S Jung, B. Oyungerel and H.S Kong
In this study, we used genetic diversity analysis with Microsatellite (MS) markers to determine the relationships between two Mongolian native breeds (MNB) (n=78) which were compared with three foreign breeds (FB) (n=110) in Mongolia. For the analysis of genetic diversity, 11 recommended MS markers from a diversity panel conducted by the ISAG / FAO or previously reported MS markers were used. A.. Read More»

Knock down of molt regulating gene for development control of Helicoverpa armigera
Authors: M.N. Sharif, M.S. Iqbal, R. Alam, B. Tabassum, M.F. Awan, Q. Ali and I.A. Nasir
RNA interference (RNAi) caused by exogenous double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a powerful tool, and to date is widely adopted to knockdown genetic targets crucial for growth and development of agriculturally important insect pests. Helicoverpa armigera is a pest feeding on more than 30 economically important crops worldwide and a major threat. Resistance to insecticides and Bt toxins is gradually i.. Read More»

Genetic inheritance of traits relating to seedling and size in ornamental pepper
Authors: Angela Maria dos Santos Pessoa, Elizanilda Ramalho do Rêgo, Michelle Gonçalves de Carvalho, Cristine Agrine Pereira dos Santos, Júlio Carlos Polimeni de Mesquita, Mailson Monteiro do Rêgo
Pepper exhibits genetic diversity and versatility in use. Knowledge of the genetic control of traits in peppers is of great importance to breeding programs given the variety of types, sizes, colors and flavors. The aim of the present study was to examine the inheritance of seedling and plant traits in ornamental pepper (Capsicum annuum). The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in the plant.. Read More»

Diabetes mellitus types: Key genetic determinants and risk assessment
Authors: Dhilleswara Rao Vana, Dattatreya Adapa, Prasad VSS, Amarendranath Choudhury and Garima Ahuja
The characteristic symptom of diabetes is consistently elevated levels of blood sugar. This is instigated either by complete lack of insulin production (type 1 diabetes), reduced level of insulin production (type 2 diabetes) or insulin resistance (inability of body cells to take up glucose). Other types of diabetes include maturity onset of diabetes of the young (MODY), a form of type 2 diabete.. Read More»

Authors: Goske Deepthi, Komaravalli Prasanna Latha, Vital Usharani, Prof. P. Fazul Rahman, Parveen Jahan
Preeclampsia (PE), a pregnancy specific vascular disorder which is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria is a leading cause of maternal, fetal/neonatal morbidity and mortality affecting 5-14% of pregnancies. PE is a multifactorial disorder associated with poor placentation, placental hypoxia, poor angiogenesis and excessive maternal inflammation. Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a multi.. Read More»
