MNS, Duffy, and Kell blood groups among the Uygur population of Xinjiang, China

Authors: G.Y. Lin, X.L. Du, J.J. Shan, Y.N. Zhang Y.Q. Zhang, Q.H. Wang

Human blood groups are a significant resource for patients, leading to a fierce international competition in the screening of rare blood groups. Some rare blood group screening programs have been implemented in western countries and Japan, but not particularly in China. Recently, the genetic background of ABO and Rh blood grou.. Read More»

Characterizing and marker-assisting a novel chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) yellow bud mutant with cytoplasmic male sterility

Authors: G.S. Sun, Z.L. Dai, P.W. Bosland, Q. Wang, C.Q. Sun, Z.C. Zhang and Z.H. Ma

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in pepper is a better way to produce hybrid seeds compared to manual production. We used the two sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers (CRF-SCAR and CMS-SCAR130) in CMS pepper, to identify the genotype. We assembled two CMS yellow bud mutants (YBM; YBM12-A and YBM12-B). This mu.. Read More»

Population genetic analysis and conservation strategies for redtail shrimp Fenneropenaeus penicillatus using ten microsatellite markers

Authors: Y.Y. Cao, J.B. Shangguan, Z.B. Li

Fenneropenaeus penicillatus, which is on the Red List of Endangered Species for China, is an important shrimp species. However, there is not enough genetic information on F. penicillatus for conservation and management purposes. Ten microsatellite markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity, genetic differentiation, and.. Read More»

Diversity and genetic stability in banana genotypes in a breeding program using inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers

Authors: A.V.C. Silva, A.L.S. Nascimento, M.F. Vit�³ria, A.R.C. Rabbani, A.N.R. Soares and A.S. L�©do

Banana (Musa spp) is a fruit species frequently cultivated and consumed worldwide. Molecular markers are important for estimating genetic diversity in germplasm and between genotypes in breeding programs. The objective of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of 21 banana genotypes (FHIA 23, PA42-44, Maç&atild.. Read More»

Lack of association between CARD10/CARMA3 tag SNPs and psoriasis vulgaris in the southern Chinese population

Authors: G. Shi, M.F. Zhang, P.Y. Liao, T.T. Wang, S.J. Li, Y.M. Fan, K.J. Zhu

Previously, we determined that the CARD11 rs4722404 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) increases risk of early-onset psoriasis vulgaris (PsV). Moreover, the CARD14 gene polymorphism c.C2458T (p.Arg820Trp) is associated with clinical features of this disease. CARMA1/CARD11, CARMA2/CARD14, and CARMA3/CARD10 are conserved acros.. Read More»

Selecting black-spot resistant papaya genotypes derived from backcrossing and hybrids

Authors: T.P.S. Poltronieri, S.F. Silveira, M. Vivas, R. Santa Catarina,D.F.M. Cortes, A.O.N. Azevedo and M.G. Pereira

Papaya crop is important to Brazilian agribusiness. However, the expansion of papaya cultivation in the country is affected by the absence of commercial cultivars presenting good disease resistance. The black-spot caused by the fungus Asperisporium caricae is the most damaging foliar disease affecting Brazilian papaya crops. T.. Read More»

Prediction of phosphorylation sites based on the integration of multiple classifiers

Authors: R.Z. Han, D. Wang, Y.H. Chen, L.K. Dong and Y.L. Fan

Phosphorylation is an important part of post-translational modifications of proteins, and is essential for many biological activities. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation can regulate signal transduction, gene expression, and cell cycle regulation in many cellular processes. Phosphorylation is extremely important for both ba..

Molecular cloning, sequencing, and expression of Eimeria tenella HSP70 partial gene

Authors: A.L.G. Bogado, G.F. Martins, J.P. Sasse, J. da S. Guimar�£es Jr., J.L. Garcia

Members of the Eimeria genus are protozoan parasites of the subphylum Apicomplexa (Eimeriidae family), and belong to the coccidia group. Eimeria tenella is one of the most pathogenic species owing to its ability to penetrate the mucosa, and cause inflammation and damage. It is an obligate intracellular parasite that causes dis..
