Cloning and identification of the ASIP gene in Chinese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides)
Authors: Y.M. Li, S. Si, P.C. Guo, L.L. Li, C.Y. Bai and S.Q. Yan
The quantity, quality, and distribution of eumelanin and pheomelanin determine a wide variety of coat colors in animals. Three coat color variants exist in farmed wild-type Chinese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides), which is an important fur-bearing animal species. The ASIP gene is an important candidate gene for coat color variation in .. Read More»

Genetic divergence among Psidium accessions based on single nucleotide polymorphisms developed for Eucalyptus
Authors: S.R. Costa and C.A.F. Santos
The goal of this study was to analyze the genetic divergence among Psidium species accessions based on SNPs developed for Eucalyptus. Fifty-three Psidium accessions, including 47 P. guajava, were genotyped with EUCHIP60K. The dendrogram similarity ranged from 0.58 to 1.00, with a cophenetic value of 0.97. Five groups were iden..

Application of genomics and proteomics in drug target discovery
Authors: H.M. Zhang, Z.R. Nan, G.Q. Hui, X.H. Liu and Y. Sun
Gene medicine is making breakthroughs in health questions that have baffled humanity for centuries. To understand and utilize gene medicine, it is necessary to realize its action against targets at the molecular level. Currently, many methods can be used to discover drug targets; among these, genomic and proteomic methods are .. Read More»

An experimental model for Staphylococcus aureus hepatic abscess in Bama minipig
Authors: R.G. Zhang, X.D. Wang*, X.L. Zhang and Y.S. Yang
Pyogenic hepatic abscess (PHA) is a rare but potentially serious disease. Investigations of new therapeutic methods urgently need experimental support in corresponding animal models. However, to date, few studies have evaluated PHA in the minipig. The linear regression equation of the Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 .. Read More»

Performance of peanut mutants and their offspring generated from mixed high-energy particle field radiation and tissue culture
Authors: J.S. Wang, L.X. Qiao, L.S. Zhao, P. Wang, B.T. Guo, L.X. Liu and J.M. Sui
To develop new ways to breed peanut, we irradiated seeds of the Luhua 11 cultivar with a mixed high-energy particle field at different doses. The embryonic leaflets were extracted as explants and incubated on somatic embryo induction medium and then on somatic embryo germination and regeneration medium. After being grafted, the M1-generation plants were t.. Read More»

Cuticular hydrocarbons in the stingless bee Schwarziana quadripunctata (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini): differences between colonies, castes and age
Authors: T.M. Nunes, I.C.C. Turatti, S. Mateus, F.S. Nascimento,N.P. Lopes and R. Zucchi
Chemical communication is of fundamental importance to maintain the integration of insect colonies. In honey bees, cuticular lipids differ in their composition between queens, workers and drones. Little is known, however, about cuticular hydrocarbons in stingless bees. We investigated chemical differences in cuticular hydrocar.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity of Leuciscus leuciscus baicalensis using novel microsatellite markers with cross-species transferability
Authors: D.J. Lei, G. Zhao, P. Xie, Y. Li, H. Yuan, M. Zou, J.G. Niu and X.F. Ma
We used next-generation sequencing technology to characterize 19 genomic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and 11 expressed sequence tag (EST) SSR markers from Leuciscus leuciscus baicalensis, a small freshwater fish that is widely distributed in Xinjiang, China. Primers were used to test for polymorphisms in three L. leuci.. Read More»

Molecular identification and first report of mitochondrial COI gene haplotypes in the hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata (Testudines: Cheloniidae) in the Colombian Caribbean nesting colonies
Authors: L. Daza-Criado and J. Hern�¡ndez-Fern�¡ndez
Hawksbill sea turtles Eretmochelys imbricata are found extensively around the world, including the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans; the Persian Gulf, and the Red and Mediterranean Seas. Populations of this species are affected by international trafficking of their shields, meat, and eggs, making it a critically e.. Read More»

Thunbergia laurifolia extract minimizes the adverse effects of toxicants by regulating P-glycoprotein activity, CYP450, and lipid metabolism gene expression in HepG2 cells
Authors: A. Rocejanasaroj, T. Tencomnao and W. Sangkitikomol
Thunbergia laurifolia (TL) is widely used as an antidote in Thai traditional medicine against toxic substances such as alcohol, pesticides, arsenic, and strychnine. We found that the lyophilized form of TL in 80% ethanol possessed the antioxidant levels within the range 23,163.9 ± 1457.4 Trolox equivalents mM/kg dry mas.. Read More»
