A novel homozygous stop gain mutation in SLC12A3 gene cause Gitelman syndrome in Saudi consanguineous family
Authors: Muhammad Imran Naseer, Osama Yousef Muthaffar , Mahmood Rasool, Angham Abdulrahman Abdulkareem, Mohammad Alam Jafri, Peter Natesan Pushparaj, Gauthaman Kalamegam, Adeel G. Chaudhary, Mohammad H. Al-Qahtani
Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a genetic disorder that affects kidney and causes an imbalance of charged atoms (ions) in the body, including ions of potassium, magnesium, and calcium. GS is characterized by hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. GS is a rare autosomal recessive renal tubulopathy disease caused by loss-of-function mut.. Read More»

LC-MS based identification of secondary metabolites from marine antagonistic endophytic bacteria
Authors: Fehmida Bibi, Muhammad Imran Naseer, Muhammad Yasir, Ahmed Abdullah Khalaf Al-Ghamdi, Esam Ibrahim Azhar
Halophytes occupy coastal and sub-coastal area of marine environment. They potential candidates for search of novel and new bacterial flora that have immense potential to yield novel therapeutic agents. Six different endophytic bacteria have been isolated from pneumatophores and roots of three halophytes (Salsola imbricata, Av.. Read More»

Parapatric speciation found in Limnonectes (Dicroglossidae) species in Thailand
Authors: Pimwipa Teerawarunyoo, Chatmongkon Suwannapoom, Phuping Sucharitakul, Kittisak Buddhachat, Waranee Pradit, Korakot Nganvongpanit and Siriwadee Chomdej
Biodiversity stems from speciation, and species identification allows scientists to measure species biodiversity. However, some closely related species, particularly amphibians that choose to inhabit the same environment, are difficult to identify. Juvenile specimens of Limnonectes gyldenstolpei (Lg) and L. taylori (Lt) were u.. Read More»

Cloning and expression analysis of pistillata-like gene in Sedirea japonica
Authors: Suhua Jiang, Suyan Niu, Xiuyun Yuan, Fang Liang, Shenping Xu, Mofei Wang, Bo Cui
Members of the pistillata-like (PI-like) subfamily of plant MADS-box genes play multiple roles in regulation of reproductive meristems and the specification of sepal and petal identities. However, the function of PI-like genes in the Sedirea japonica is largely unknown. In this study, a full-length of PI-like gene in Sedirea j.. Read More»

Characterization of 33 microsatellite markers and development of multiplex PCR for yellow-throated marten (Martes flavigula)
Authors: Mu-Yeong Lee, Hea Chang Moon, Hey Sook Jeon, Eui-Geun Song, Donggul Woo, HeeBok Park, Tae-Young Choi, Kyung-Yeon Eo, Yongsun Hyun, Kangbok Lee, Young-Seok Park, Ju-Young Moon, Hyun-Jin Han, Junghwa An
The yellow-throated marten (Martes flavigula Boddaert 1785) is a medium-sized carnivore and a top predator in South Korea that is distributed throughout Western and Southeast Asia and Siberia in a wide range of habitats. In this study, we developed a panel of polymorphic microsatellite markers for M. flavigula by Illumina next.. Read More»
