Phylogenetic relationship of Turkish Apis mellifera subspecies based on sequencing of mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase I region
Authors: F. ��zdil and F. �°lhan
Mitochondrial DNA sequence variation can be used to infer honey bee evolutionary relationships. We examined DNA sequence diversity in the cytochrome C oxidase I (COI or Cox1) gene segment of the mitochondrial genome in 112 samples of Apis mellifera from 15 different populations in Turkey. Six novel haplotypes were found for th.. Read More»

Characterization and expression analysis of somatic embryogenesis receptor-like kinase genes from Phalaenopsis
Authors: Y.W. Huang, Y.J. Tsai and F.C. Chen
Somatic embryogenesis receptor-like kinase (SERK) genes have been found to be involved in the somatic embryogenesis of several plant species. We identified and characterized 5 PhSERK genes in the Phalaenopsis orchid. The amino acid sequences of PhSERKs and other SERK proteins are highly conserved, with the highest homology observed in the leucine-rich rep.. Read More»

Development of SNP markers and their application for genetic diversity analysis in the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis)
Authors: P.W. Ong, I. Maizura, N.A.P. Abdullah, M.Y. Rafii, L.C.L. Ooi, E.T.L. Low and R. Singh
The genetic evaluation of oil palm germplasm collections is required for insight into the variability among populations. The information obtained is also useful for incorporating new genetic materials into current breeding programs. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been widely used in many plant genetic studies due .. Read More»

Event-specific qualitative and quantitative PCR detection of the GMO carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) variety Moonlite based upon the 5'-transgene integration sequence
Authors: P. Li, J.W. Jia, L.X. Jiang, H. Zhu, L. Bai, J.B. Wang, X.M. Tang and A.H. Pan
To ensure the implementation of genetically modified organism (GMO)-labeling regulations, an event-specific detection method was developed based on the junction sequence of an exogenous integrant in the transgenic carnation variety Moonlite. The 5êÂ?Â?-transgene integration sequence was isolated by thermal asymmetric interlac.. Read More»

DNA sequence variants in the carbonyl reductase 1 (cbr1) gene in seven breeds of Canis lupus familiaris
Authors: Q. Cheng, C. Sanborn, D. Ferguson and J.G. Blanco
The anticancer anthracyclines doxorubicin and daunorubicin are used to treat a variety of cancers in dogs. The therapeutic utility of anthracyclines is limited by cardiotoxicity in some cases. Synthesis of anthracycline alcohol metabolites by carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1) is crucial for the pathogenesis of cardiotoxicity. We hyp.. Read More»

ZNF797 plays an oncogenic role in gastric cancer
Authors: D. Momenzadeh1, S. Rahman Zadeh1, M. Rezaei-Tavirani1, A. Baradaran-Rafii2, F. Ghasemvand1 and S. Heidari-Keshel1
Human cancer cells resemble stem cells in expression signatures leading them to share some features, most notably, selfrenewal. A complex network of transcription factors and signaling molecules are required for continuation of this trait. ZNF797 (SALL4) is a zinc finger transcriptional activator crucial for maintenance of self-renewal in stem cells; howe.. Read More»

Analysis of the drug-resistant characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from the respiratory tract and CTX-M ESBL genes
Authors: S.Y. Huang, K.Y. Pan, X.Q. Liu, X.Y. Xie, X.L. Dai, B.J. Chen, X.Q. Wu and H.Y. Li
The main aim of this study was to understand the relationship between the drug-resistant characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae and CTX-M-type extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), and to detect the distributions of CTX-M-type ESBLs in clinically isolated strains. CTX-M ESBL genes isolated from the clinical samples we.. Read More»

Gene expression profiling of somatic and pluripotent cells reveals novel pathways involved in reprogramming
Authors: Y.N. Cai, X.H. Dai, Q.H. Zhang, R.Hu and Z.M. Dai
We investigated gene expression in embryonic stem (ES) cells, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, and fibroblasts. Microarray expression data sets obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus were analyzed using the Partek software. Human genes from ES cells, iPS cells, and fibroblasts were ranked from low to high according to .. Read More»

Differences in H3K4 trimethylation in in vivo and in vitro fertilization mouse preimplantation embryos
Authors: F.-R. Wu, Y. Liu, M.-B. Shang, X.-X. Yang, B. Ding, J.-G. Gao, R. Wang and W.-Y. Li
Trimethylation of lysine 4 at histone 3 (H3K4me3) is considered a marker of active transcription; it plays an important role in transcription reprogramming efficiency. We compared the levels of H3K4me3 in mouse preimplantation embryos from MII stage oocytes produced by in vivo and in vitro fertilization (IVF) using immunofluor.. Read More»
