Sequential hygienic behavior in Carniolan honey bees (Apis mellifera carnica)
Authors: K.P. Gramacho and L.S. Gon�§alves
We examined the sequence, order or steps of hygienic behavior (HB) from pin-killed pupae until the removal of them by the bees. We conducted our study with four colonies of Apis mellifera carnica in Germany and made four repetitions. The pin-killing method was used for evaluation of the HB of bees. The data were collected ever.. Read More»

Prediction of genomic islands in seven human pathogens using the Z-Island method
Authors: W. Wei and F.-B. Guo
We adopted the method of Zhang and Zhang (the Z-Island method) to identify genomic islands in seven human pathogens, analyzing their chromosomal DNA sequences. The Z-Island method is a theoretical method for predicting genomic islands in bacterial genomes; it consists of determination of the cumulative GC profile and computati.. Read More»

Development of polymorphic microsatellite markers and the population genetic structure of the half-fin anchovy, Setipinna taty
Authors: Y.N. Sun, Y. Qin, Z.H. Zhu and D.Q. Sun
Microsatellite markers for the half-fin anchovy Setipinna taty were developed from the enriched (CA)15 genomic library, and they were used for the population genetic studies of the half-fin anchovy from Chinese coastal areas. Samples were collected from five localities of the East China Sea and the Yellow S.. Read More»

Overall codon usage pattern of enterovirus 71
Authors: M.R. Ma, L. Hui, M.L. Wang, Y. Tang, Y.W. Chang, Q.H. Jia,X.H. Wang, W. Yan and X.Q. Ha
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a systemic illness in children and is usually caused by enterovirus 71 (EV71). To provide new insights into the genetic features of EV71 and the relationship between the overall codon usage pattern of this virus and that of humans, values for relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU), effec..

Bombyx mori pylorus infection by Alphabaculovirus
Authors: M.P.D. Baggio, L.F.C. Ribeiro, S.A. Vessaro-Silva and R.M.C. Brancalh�£o
Alphabaculovirus is an entomopathogenic virus genus that infects Bombyx mori, which is known as the Bombyx mori multiple nucleopolyedrovirus (BmMNPV). This virus is polyorganotrophic, and a series of tissues are known as targets; however, there is currently no information regarding infection in the p.. Read More»

Genetic variability in Melipona quinquefasciata (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini) from northeastern Brazil determined using the first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1)
Authors: J.O.P. Pereira, B.M. Freitas, D.M.M. Jorge, D.C. Torres,C.E.A. Soares and T.B. Grangeiro
Melipona quinquefasciata is a ground-nesting South American stingless bee whose geographic distribution was believed to comprise only the central and southern states of Brazil. We obtained partial sequences (about 500-570 bp) of first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1) nuclear ribosomal DNA from Melipona specimens putatively i.. Read More»

Association of ADH1B Arg47His and ALDH2 Glu487Lys polymorphisms with risk of colorectal cancer and their interaction with environmental factors in a Chinese population
Authors: Q. Zhong, R.R. Wu and Z.M. Zeng
Human colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major worldwide health concern, and its development has been shown to be associated with alcohol intake. We carried out a study to investigate the effect of the ADH1B Arg47His and ALDH2 Glu487Lys genetic polymorphisms and their interaction with alcohol consumption on development of CRC. Between March 2013 and May 2015, a.. Read More»

Development, characterization, and annotation of potential simple sequence repeats by transcriptome sequencing in pears (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai)
Authors: H. Zhou, B.H. Cai, Z.Q. L�¼, Z.H. Gao and Y.S. Qiao
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs), one of the most powerful molecular markers, can be used for DNA fingerprinting, variety identification, genetic mapping, and marker-assisted selection. Using the pear’s (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) 75,764 unigenes (55,676,271 bp) obtained by deep transcriptome sequencing, a total of 10,622 novel SSRs were identified in 915.. Read More»

Association between rs11001553 of DKK1 and non-syndromic tooth agenesis in the Chinese Han population
Authors: H.C. Liu, J. Zhang, S. Wong, D. Han, H.S. Zhao and H.L. Feng
Tooth agenesis is one of the most common anomalies of human dentition. Recent genetic studies have provided information regarding a number of genes related to both syndromic and non-syndromic forms of hypodontia. In a previous study, we found that polymorphism in rs11001553 of DKK1 was associated with hypodontia in th.. Read More»

Cloning and sequence analysis of the safflower betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase gene
Authors: Y.B. Wang, L.L. Guan, Y.W. Xu, H. Shen and W. Wu
In response to salinity or drought stress, many plants accumulate glycine betaine, which is a regulator of osmosis. In plants, the last step in betaine synthesis is catalyzed by betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH), a nuclear-encoded chloroplastic enzyme. Based on the conserved oligo amino acid residues of the published BADH .. Read More»
