Esterase polymorphisms for analysis of genetic diversity and structure of soybean (Glycine max) cultivars
Authors: L.C. Valentini, C.A. Mangolin, S.A.O. Collet and M.F.P.S. Machado
We used native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to identify polymorphism levels in a- and b-esterase loci from leaf tissues of Brazilian soybean cultivars for the analysis of population genetic diversity and structure, and to investigate relationships between conventional and genetically modified cultivars. The cultivars inc.. Read More»

Genetic variability of an endangered Bromeliaceae species (Pitcairnia albiflos) from the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest
Authors: R. Domingues, M.A. Machado, R.C. Forzza, T.D. Melo, S. Wohlres-Viana and L.F. Viccini
Pitcairnia albiflos is a Bromeliaceae species endemic to Brazil that has been included as data-deficient in the extinction risk list of Brazilian flora. We analyzed genetic variability in P. albiflos populations using RAPD markers to investigate population structure and reproductive mechanisms and also to evaluate the actual e.. Read More»

Population genetic structure of wild and hatchery black rockfish Sebastes inermis in Korea, assessed using cross-species microsatellite markers
Authors: H.S. An, E.-M. Kim, J.-H. Lee, J.K. Noh, C.M. An, S.J. Yoon, K.D. Park and J.-I. Myeong
The population structure of the black rockfish, Sebastes inermis (Sebastidae), was estimated using 10 microsatellite loci developed for S. schlegeli on samples of 174 individuals collected from three wild and three hatchery populations in Korea. Reduced genetic variation was detected in hatchery strains [overall number of alle.. Read More»

Non-invasive sex identification of the white-bellied sea eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) through genetic analysis of feathers
Authors: D.M. Naim, S.A.M. Nor and M.H. Baharuddin
The white-bellied sea eagle, Haliaeetus leucogaster, displays reversed sexual size dimorphism and is monomorphic for adult plumage coloration. Early attempts to identify sex in sexually monomorphic birds were based on morphological or chromosomal characters, but since avian W-specific DNA sequences were identified, PCR amplifi.. Read More»

A novel single-nucleotide polymorphism in the 5' upstream region of the prolactin receptor gene is associated with fiber traits in Liaoning cashmere goats
Authors: J.P. Zhou, X.P. Zhu, W. Zhang, F. Qin, S.W. Zhang and Z.H. Jia
The most important traits of Chinese Liaoning cashmere goat fiber are fiber diameter, weight, and length. We looked for polymorphisms and their possible association with cashmere fiber traits in the 5' upstream region (5' UTR) of the prolactin receptor gene (PRLR), which encodes an anterior pituitary peptide hormone involved i..

Two novel NPHS1 mutations in a Chinese family with congenital nephrotic syndrome
Authors: L.Q. Wu, J.J. Hu, J.J. Xue and D.S. Liang
Congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type (CNF) is a lethal, autosomal recessive disorder mainly caused by mutations in the NPHS1 gene; it is found at a relatively high frequency in Finns. We investigated the disease-causing mutations in a Chinese family with CNF and developed a prenatal genetic diagnosis for their lat.. Read More»

Effects of MMP-1 and MMP-3 gene polymorphisms on gene expression and protein level in lumbar disc herniation
Authors: B. Eser, O. Eser, Y. Yuksel, H. Aksit, E. Karavelioglu, M. Tosun and Z. Sekerci
The aim of this study was to identify the possible correlation between polymorphisms in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-3 and their corresponding protein levels in disctissues obtained from patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) using biochemical and immunohistochemical analyses. Blood and disc samples were obtained from 100 patients with LDH.. Read More»

Authors: G.-C. Ma, X. Wu, C.-L. Ma, H.-L. Wu, H.-Y. Hu, L.-M. Niu and Y.-G. Fu
Ten microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized from Aleurodicus dispersus, the spiraling whitefly, an exotic pest species that is considered to be one of the most serious agricultural pests on Hainan Island, China. The polymorphism of these loci was examined in individual whiteflies from Hainan Island and from the .. Read More»
