Barcoding the major Mediterranean leguminous crops by combining universal chloroplast and nuclear DNA sequence targets
Authors: P. Madesis, I. Ganopoulos, P. Ralli and A. Tsaftaris
The ability to discriminate all species is the ultimate target in barcoding. The Mediterranean basin is a center of origin for legumes and thus they have played a key role in feeding the Mediterranean population. It is also a region with important protected designation of origin and protected geographical indication legumes that provide income in rural ar.. Read More»

Testis-specific serine kinases (TSSKs) are a family of serine/threonine kinases highly expressed in the testes that are responsible for regulating many spermatogenesis-related protein activities. Mutations in this family have a positive relationship with oligospermia and azoospermia in human and mouse. Here, five members of th.. Read More»

Association of neuropeptide Y and gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptor gene SNPs with breeding value for growth and egg production traits in Mazandaran native chickens
Authors: S.A. Fatemi, H. Mehrabani-Yeganeh, A. Nejati-Javaremi and Sh. Niknafs
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) are two candidate genes with a wide variety of physiological functions in growth and especially in reproduction processes. We examined the association of one SNP from each of these genes with growth- and egg production-related traits in Mazandaran native chickens. Two hundred and si.. Read More»

Technological value of SPECT/CT fusion imaging for the diagnosis of lower gastrointestinal bleeding
Authors: Z.G. Wang, G.X. Zhang, S.H. Hao, W.W. Zhang, T. Zhang, Z.P. Zhang and R.X. Wu
The aim of this study was to assess the clinical value of diagnosing and locating lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) fusion imaging with 99mTc labeled red blood cells (99mTc-RBC). Fifty-six patients with suspected lower GI bleeding r.. Read More»

HIF-2�± as a prognostic marker for breast cancer progression and patient survival
Authors: H.X. Wang, C.Qin, F.Y. Han, X.H. Wang and N. Li
Malignant cells show increased invasion potency in vitro and in vivo. This process is considered to be mediated by matrix-metalloproteases (MMPs). Hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) may upregulate MMP-2 expression; however, little is known about the correlation between HIF-2α and MMP-2 expressions in breast.. Read More»

Nine polymorphic STR loci in the HLA region in the Shaanxi Han population of China
Authors: H.B. Zhang, S.G. Wei, B. Yu, L. Li and J.H. Lai
A large number of microsatellite genetic markers have been identified in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region. We investigated genetic polymorphism of the nine short tandem repeat (STR) loci (D6S276, MOGCA, D6S265, MIB, D6S273, G51152, TAP1CA, RING3CA, and D6S291) in the HLA region in the Shaanxi Han population. Using a fluorescence-labeled multiplex-.. Read More»

Authors: E.C.A. Rizzo, F.R.A. Neto, I.D.P.S. Diaz, M.M. Dias, R.B. Costa, H.T. Ventura, H.N. Oliveira and A.J.S. Falc�£o
We evaluated the genetic association of growth traits [weight adjusted to 205 days of age (W205), 365 days of age (W365), and 550 days of age (W550); weight gain between 205 days of age and 365 days of age (WG1) and between 365 days of age and 550 days of age (WG2)] and reproductive traits [age at first calving (AFC); first ca..

Mapping of HtNB, a gene conferring non-lesion resistance before heading to Exserohilum turcicum (Pass.), in a maize inbred line derived from the Indonesian variety Bramadi
Authors: H. Wang, Z.X. Xiao, F.G. Wang, Y.N. Xiao, J.R. Zhao, Y.L. Zheng and F.Z. Qiu
The gene HtNB confers non-lesion resistance to the fungal pathogen Exserohilum turcicum in maize. To map this gene, we developed two F2 populations, P111 (resistant line) x HuangZao 4 (susceptible line) and P111 x B73 (susceptible). HtNB was located on chromosome 8.07 bin, flanked by MAC216826-4 and umc2218 at distances of 3.3 and 3.4 cM, respectively. Ht.. Read More»
