Genetic expression of pobA and fabHB in Bacillus licheniformis M2-7 in the presence of benzo[a]pyrene
Authors: Augusto Rojas-Aparicio, Jos?© A. Hern?¡ndez-Eligio, Jeiry Toribio-Jim?©nez, Miguel ?. Rodr?guez-Barrera, Mildred Castellanos-Escamilla and Yanet Romero-Ram?rez
Bacillus licheniformis M2-7 is a heat-resistant bacterium able to biotransform polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It can transform a wide range of these compounds as naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene. Benzo[a]pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon of high molecular weight considered as potentially toxic .. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of twenty-three microsatellite loci for the black rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii
Authors: F. Wang, H. B. Jiang, C. H. Han, G. P Cui, C. F. Jia, H.T. Ma
Twenty-three polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from the black rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii, with an enriched partial genomic library by magnetic beads and polymorphism of these loci was assessed in 32 individuals from a wild population. The loci yielded 2-19 alleles per locus, the observed, expected heterozygosit.. Read More»

In silico identification and target prediction of micrornas in Sesame (sesamum indicum L.) expressed sequence tags
Authors: Halak Joshi and M. K. Mandavia
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), a member of the Pedaliaceae family, is one of the oldest oilseed crops. For its high oil content, it is known as the “queen of oilseeds”. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of endogenous non-coding small RNAs that play important roles in multiple biological processes by degrading targ.. Read More»

Two marine sponges-associated cultivable bacteria: Diversity and biological activities
Authors: Fehmida Bibi*, Sana Akhtar Alvi, Abdulmohsin Al-Sofyani, Muhammad Yasir, Eman Ahmed Kensarah and Esam Ibraheem Azhar
Marine sponges harbor diverse bacterial communities. Sponge associated bacteria produce potential secondary metabolites of medical use. Little is known about sponge associated diversity from red sea therefore, we have collected two sponge samples i.e., Pione vastifica and Siphonochalinna siphonella collected from north of red ..

How efficiently Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) identify prolificity-determining genes in sheep
Authors: Magda V Benavides, Carlos Jos?© H Souza, Jos?© Carlos F. Moraes
Genome wide association studies are performed to narrow down or, better still, pinpoint the region or genes involved in the regulation of a known phenotype. The data concerning litter size usually comes from a restrict number of individuals due to the laborious and costly nature of the phenotyping by lambing data of several br.. Read More»
