Characterization of SNPs in strawberry cultivars in China
Authors: A.J. Ge J. Han X.D. Li M.Z. Zhao H. Liu Q.H. Dong J.G. Fang
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) occur at high frequencies in both plant and animal genomes and can provide broad genome coverage and reliable estimates of genetic relationships. The availability of expressed sequence tag (EST) data has made it feasible to discover SNPs. DNA analysis is crucial in genetic studies not only for strawberry breeding progra.. Read More»

imDC: an ensemble learning method for imbalanced classification with miRNA data
Authors: C.Y. Wang, L.L. Hu, M.Z. Guo, X.Y. Liu and Q. Zou
Imbalances typically exist in bioinformatics and are also common in other areas. A drawback of traditional machine learning methods is the relatively little attention given to small sample classification. Thus, we developed imDC, which uses an ensemble learning concept in combination with weights and sample misclassification information to effectively cla.. Read More»

Molecular analysis and frequency of Staphylococcus aureus virulence genes isolated from bloodstream infections in a teaching hospital in Tianjin, China
Authors: L.X. Wang Z.D. Hu Y.M. Hu B. Tian Jing Li F.X. Wang H. Yang H.R. Xu Y.C. Li J. Li
Staphylococcus aureus is an important cause of bloodstream infections worldwide. We examined the prevalence of genes that encode erythromycin ribosome methylase and bacterial toxins in S. aureus collected from bloodstream infections. Sixty different S. aureus isolates were obtained from blood cultures of patients who were admitted to a Teaching Hospital i.. Read More»

Genetic analysis and identification of SSR markers associated with rice blast disease in a BC2F1 backcross population
Authors: N. Hasan, M.Y. Rafii, H. Abdul Rahim, S.A. Nusaibah, N. Mazlan and S. Abdullah
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) blast disease is one of the most destructive rice diseases in the world. The fungal pathogen, Magnaporthe oryzae, is the causal agent of rice blast disease. Development of resistant cultivars is the most preferred method to achieve sustainable rice production. However, the effectiveness of resistant cult.. Read More»

Selection of maize hybrids for tolerance to aluminum in minimal solution
Authors: C.J. Coelho, D. Molin, H.A. Wood Joris, E.F. Caires,J.R. Gardingo and R.R. Matiello
The aim of this study was to determine the Al concentration and the period of exposure of the roots of maize hybrids in minimal solution for efficient selection of genotypes that are Al-tolerant. Two experiments were performed (48 and 96 h of exposure) with increasing doses of Al in minimal solution; the block design was completely randomized in a split-p.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Burkholderia (Proteobacteria) species from the Caatinga and Atlantic rainforest biomes in Bahia, Brazil
Authors: A.C. Santini H.R.M. Santos E. Gross R.X. Corr�ªa
The genus Burkholderia (Ã?²-Proteobacteria) currently comprises more than 60 species, including parasites, symbionts and free-living organisms. Several new species of Burkholderia have recently been described showing a great diversity of phenotypes. We examined the diversity of Burkholderia spp in environmental samples collected from Caatinga and Atlantic r.. Read More»

Genomic disorders are genetic diseases that are caused by rearrangements of chromosomal material via deletions, duplications, and inversions of unique genomic segments at specific regions. Such rearrangements could result from recurrent non-allelic homologous recombination between low copy repeats. In cases where the breakpoin.. Read More»

Molecular properties of the N-terminal extension of the fission yeast kinesin-5, Cut7
Authors: M. Edamatsu
Kinesin-5 plays an essential role in spindle formation and function, and serves as a potential target for anti-cancer drugs. The aim of this study was to elucidate the molecular properties of the N-terminal extension of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe kinesin-5, Cut7. This extension is rich in charged amino acids and predicted to be intrinsically disordered.. Read More»

Polymorphic microsatellite loci for the razor clam, Sinonovacula constricta
Authors: H.-T. Ma, H.-B. Jiang, X.-Q. Liu, X.-P. Wu and X.-M Wei
The razor clam, Sinonovacula constricta, is an important commercial bivalve and a popular mollusca food in China. Twelve polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated from the razor clam using a partial genomic library enriched for tandem repeat sequences of (CA)16, (GA)16. Polymorphisms of these loci were evaluated in a wild population of 30 individua.. Read More»
