Authors: G.Y. Lin, X.L. Du, J.J. Shan, Y.N. Zhang Y.Q. Zhang, Q.H. Wang
Human blood groups are a significant resource for patients, leading to a fierce international competition in the screening of rare blood groups. Some rare blood group screening programs have been implemented in western countries and Japan, but not particularly in China. Recently, the genetic background of ABO and Rh blood grou.. Read More»

Inter- and intra-specific genetic diversity of Iranian yarrow species Achillea santolina and Achillea tenuifolia based on ISSR and RAPD markers
Authors: M. Ebrahimi M. Farajpour M. Rahimmalek
Cultivation and preservation of yarrow has recently attracted wide attention due to its beneficial properties; however, genetic variation of Achillea species is still relatively unknown. We used RAPD and ISSR markers to assess genetic diversity in 16 accessions of yarrow belonging to two species native to Iran. Seven ISSR and nine RAPD primers generated 1.. Read More»

Molecular characterization of wheat germplasm using microsatellite markers
Authors: S. Ijaz and I.A. Khan
We investigated the genetic diversity of 63 wheat genotypes, composed of 48 accessions and 15 varieties, using 56 polymorphic simple sequence repeat primers. One hundred and eighty-six loci were found, with a mean of 131.26 alleles per locus. Cluster analysis based on microsatellite allelic diversity discriminated the accessions and varieties into di..

Characterizing and marker-assisting a novel chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) yellow bud mutant with cytoplasmic male sterility
Authors: G.S. Sun, Z.L. Dai, P.W. Bosland, Q. Wang, C.Q. Sun, Z.C. Zhang and Z.H. Ma
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in pepper is a better way to produce hybrid seeds compared to manual production. We used the two sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers (CRF-SCAR and CMS-SCAR130) in CMS pepper, to identify the genotype. We assembled two CMS yellow bud mutants (YBM; YBM12-A and YBM12-B). This mu.. Read More»

Population genetic analysis and conservation strategies for redtail shrimp Fenneropenaeus penicillatus using ten microsatellite markers
Authors: Y.Y. Cao, J.B. Shangguan, Z.B. Li
Fenneropenaeus penicillatus, which is on the Red List of Endangered Species for China, is an important shrimp species. However, there is not enough genetic information on F. penicillatus for conservation and management purposes. Ten microsatellite markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity, genetic differentiation, and.. Read More»

Identification of ANAPC13 gene polymorphisms associated with body measurement traits in Bos taurus
Authors: B.J. Jiang X.L. Zhan C.Z. Fu H.B. Wang G. Cheng L.S. Zan
Body measurement traits, influenced by genes and environmental factors, play numerous important roles in the value assessment of productivity and economy. There has been some indication that ANAPC13 influences adult height. We used PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing technology to identify polymorphisms in the ANAPC13 gene. A polymorphism in intron 1 (A > G at.. Read More»

Diversity and genetic stability in banana genotypes in a breeding program using inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers
Authors: A.V.C. Silva, A.L.S. Nascimento, M.F. Vit�³ria, A.R.C. Rabbani, A.N.R. Soares and A.S. L�©do
Banana (Musa spp) is a fruit species frequently cultivated and consumed worldwide. Molecular markers are important for estimating genetic diversity in germplasm and between genotypes in breeding programs. The objective of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of 21 banana genotypes (FHIA 23, PA42-44, Maç&atild.. Read More»

In order to increase the efficiency of cacao tree resistance to witches’ broom disease, which is caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa (Tricholomataceae), we looked for molecular markers that could help in the selection of resistant cacao genotypes. Among the different markers useful for developing marker-assisted selection, single nucleotide polymorp.. Read More»

Lack of association between CARD10/CARMA3 tag SNPs and psoriasis vulgaris in the southern Chinese population
Authors: G. Shi, M.F. Zhang, P.Y. Liao, T.T. Wang, S.J. Li, Y.M. Fan, K.J. Zhu
Previously, we determined that the CARD11 rs4722404 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) increases risk of early-onset psoriasis vulgaris (PsV). Moreover, the CARD14 gene polymorphism c.C2458T (p.Arg820Trp) is associated with clinical features of this disease. CARMA1/CARD11, CARMA2/CARD14, and CARMA3/CARD10 are conserved acros.. Read More»

Differences in mitochondrial gene expression profiles, enzyme activities and myosin heavy chain types in yak versus bovine skeletal muscles
Authors: Y.Q. Lin Y.O. Xu Y. Yue S.Y. Jin Y. Qu F. Dong Y.P. Li Y.C. Zheng
Hypoxia can affect energy metabolism. We examined gene expression and enzyme activity related to mitochondrial energy metabolism, as well as myosin heavy chain (MyHC) types in yaks (Bos grunniens) living at high altitudes. Real-time quantitative PCR assays indicated that the yak has significantly lower levels of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) mRNA i.. Read More»
