Authors: J.C.C. Panetto, M.V.G.B. Silva, R.M.H. Leite, M.A. Machado,F.A.T. Bruneli, D.R.L. Reis, M.G.C.D. Peixoto, R.S. Verneque
The Red Sindhi cattle breed was imported to Brazil in small numbers. Nowadays, the herds of this breed are distributed in the Northeast, Southeast and Midwest regions of the country. In this study, DNA samples of animals originating from 15 herds in the Northeast and Southeast regions have been analyzed to obtain the ancestry .. Read More»

Integrated statistical learning of metabolic ion mobility spectrometry profiles for pulmonary disease identification
Authors: A.-C. Hauschild J.I. Baumbach J. Baumbach
Exhaled air carries information on human health status. Ion mobility spectrometers combined with a multi-capillary column (MCC/IMS) is a well-known technology for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) within human breath. This technique is relatively inexpensive, robust and easy to use in every day practice. However, the potential of this methodolog.. Read More»

First isolation and characterization of genomic SSR markers for the giant red shrimp Aristaeomorpha foliacea (Risso, 1827)
Authors: R. Cannas S. Marcias F. Sacco A. Cau A.M. Deiana
Fourteen microsatellite markers were isolated from the giant red shrimp Aristaeomorpha foliacea (Risso, 1827) using the FIASCO protocol (fast isolation by AFLP of sequences containing repeats). Polymorphism was assessed in 30 individuals from two localities of the western Mediterranean basin (N = 20 from Sardinia and N = 10 from Sicily); nine loci showed .. Read More»

A clinical study of bone mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of hepatic fibrosis induced by hepatolenticular degeneration
Authors: D. Zhang
The efficacy of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) on liver fibrosis in animal has been proven, but a few studies have been made in human body and few such researches in China. This study was designed to investigate the effect of BMSC treatment on hepatic fibrosis induced by hepatolenticular degeneration and the influenc.. Read More»

Comparative analyses of genetic/epigenetic diversities and structures in a wild barley species (Hordeum brevisubulatum) using MSAP, SSAP and AFLP
Authors: X.H. Shan Y.D. Li X.M. Liu Y. Wu M.Z. Zhang W.L. Guo B. Liu Y.P. Yuan
We analyzed genetic diversity and population genetic structure of four artificial populations of wild barley (Hordeum brevisubulatum); 96 plants collected from the Songnen Prairie in northeastern China were analyzed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), specific-sequence amplified polymorphism (SSAP) and methylation-sensitive amplified polymor..

Comparative fusion expression of maize SINAT5 in two different strains of Escherichia coli
Authors: A. Gholizadeh
SINAT5 is a plant E3 ligase that regulates auxin signaling and root morphogenesis by ubiquitination of the NAC1 protein. Consequently, it may be a putative regulator of aspects of plant development cycles that are controlled by auxin. Efficient production, purification and correctly folded form of this protein are important requirements for functional stu.. Read More»

Myostatin (GDF8) single nucleotide polymorphisms in Nellore cattle
Authors: A.B. Grisolia1,2, G.T. D�Angelo1, L.R. Porto Neto1, F. Siqueira3 andJ.F. Garcia1
The myostatin gene, also known as GDF8 (growth differentiation factor 8), is located on bovine chromosome 2 (BTA2); it has three exons and two introns. Myostatin is specifically expressed during embryonic development and in adult skeletal muscle, functioning as a negative regulatory protein. Several cattle breeds (Piedmontese, Belgian Blue ..

New microsatellite markers for the abalone Haliotis midae developed by 454 pyrosequencing and in silico analyses
Authors: R. Slabbert J.-A. Hepple C. Rhode A.E. Bester-Van der Merwe R. Roodt-Wilding
Farming of Haliotis midae is the most lucrative aquaculture venture in South Africa. The genome of this species needs to be studied to assist in selective breeding programs aimed at increasing overall yield, and molecular markers will be required to attain this goal. We identified and characterized 82 polymorphic microsatellite loci by using repeat-enrich.. Read More»

Neural-endocrine mechanisms of respiratory syncytial virus-associated asthma in a rat model
Authors: Q.G. Li X.R. Wu X.Z. Li J. Yu Y. Xia A.P. Wang J. Wang
We examined the underlying neural-endocrine mechanisms of asthma associated with respiratory syncytial virus infection. Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) group, and anti-nerve growth factor (NGF) IgG group. An RSV infection model was established by nasal drip once a week. In the anti-NGF.. Read More»

Combining ability analysis for within-boll yield components in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
Authors: M. Imran A. Shakeel F.M. Azhar J. Farooq M.F. Saleem A. Saeed W. Nazeer M. Riaz M. Naeem A. Javaid
Cotton is an important cash crop worldwide, accounting for a large percentage of world agricultural exports; however, yield per acre is still poor in many countries, including Pakistan. Diallel mating system was used to identify parents for improving within-boll yield and fiber quality parameters. Combining ability analysis was employed to obtain suitable pa.. Read More»
