Heterosis and genetics parameters for yield and nutritional components in half-sibling maize progenies
Authors: Ivan Ricardo Carvalho, Alan Junior de Pelegrin, MaurÃ?Âcio Ferrari, VinÃ?Âcius Jardel Szareski, , Antonio Costa de Oliveira, Luciano Carlos da Maia, Tiago Corazza da Rosa, Victoria Freitas de Oliveira, Jessica Fernanda Hoffmann, Maicon Nardino, FÃ?¡bio Clasen Chaves, Velci QueirÃ?³z de Souza
The growing demand for maize creates a challenge to breeders, requiring the development of higher yielding and higher quality genotypes. The objective of this work was to estimate the most relevant heterosis, variance components and genetic parameters, and to use a multivariate approach to define narrow sense heritability prof..

New tool application in veterinary forensic science to analyze genetic fingerprinting data
Authors: Reale S, Mascali LG, Bonanno , Lupo, Ferina , Vitale
In the last decades legal and other cases in which forensic veterinary science is required are increasing. The principles of investigation follow those used in human beings, although in animal species familial relationship identification is a hard task, due to high level of inbreeding. Familias 3 software is commonly used in h.. Read More»

Screening and identification of candidate genes essential for cervical lymph node metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma with microarrays
Authors: Ming Fu, Yudong Ye, Chi Zhang, Zhuo Chen, Zhenchao Zhu, Yang Peng, Xiangning Zhang, Qianhui Qiu
The aim of the present study is to identify genes that are crucial for the cervical lymph node metastasis, which predicts poor prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), endemic in southern China. Microarrays with probes to determine genomic expression profile and promoter methylation status in tumor specimens were used, to .. Read More»

Genetic Polymorphism in Endometriosis: Trends in Scientific Production
Authors: Maria Gabriela Machado Junqueira, Amanda Fernandes Costa, Felipe de Ara�ºjo Nascimento, K�¡tia Karina Verolli de Oliveira Moura, Fl�¡via Melo Rodrigues
Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue located outside the uterine cavity. The prevalence is around 6 to 10%. Regarding etiopathogenesis, several theories are accepted, but alterations in the molecular biology of the endometrium seem to be fundamental for the development of endometriosis. Women wi..

Adaptability and stability of cotton cultivars (Gossypium hirsutum L. race latifolium H.) using factor analytic model
Authors: J. J. Nuvunga, L. A. Oliveira, C. P. Silva, A. K. A. Pamplona, A. Q. Silva, E. G. Moura, M. P. Maleia, M. Balestre
To build up efficient strategies in plant breeding programs, it is requested a certain level of knowledge about the genotype–by-environments interaction (GEI) effects over the crop to be improved. One efficient way to gather this information is using linear mixed models using a parsimonious structure of GEI pattern such .. Read More»

Predominance of the A allele but no association of the KCNJ11 rs5219 E23K polymorphism with Type 2 Diabetes in a Nigerian population
Authors: Godwill Azeh Engwa, Friday Nweke Nwalo, Chosen E. Obi, Christie Onyia, Opeolu Oyejide Ojo Wilfred Fon Mbacham, Benjamin Ewa Ubi
Though the rs5219 E23K variant of the KCNJ11 gene is commonly known to be associated with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Caucasian and Asian populations, little or none of such findings have been revealed in Nigeria. Hence, this study was aimed to assess the relationship between E23K polymorphic variant of the KCNJ11 gene and T2D in.. Read More»

The Disruption of Klf6-Related Super-Enhancer Induces Growth Inhibition and Apoptosis in Human HepG2 Cells
Authors: KumChol Ri, KumChol Kim, SunHyok Kong, JuHua Ri
Klf6 is a member of the Krüppel-like factor family, which is a group of zinc finger transcription factors involved in differentiation and development. In general, Klf6 gene plays an important role in growth-related signal transduction pathways, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. Recently, the Klf6 gene is co.. Read More»
