An improved protocol and a new grinding device for extraction of genomic DNA from microorganisms by a two-step extraction procedure
Authors: S.S. Zhang, D. Chen and Q. Lu
Current protocols to extract genomic DNA from microorganisms are still laborious, tedious and costly, especially for the species with thick cell walls. In order to improve the effectiveness of extracting DNA from microbial samples, a novel protocol, defined as two-step extraction method, along with an improved tissue-grinding .. Read More»

Characterization, molecular cloning, and expression analysis of Ecsit in the spinyhead croaker, Collichthys lucidus
Authors: W. Song, K.J. Jiang, F.Y. Zhang, J. Wang and L.B. Ma
Evolutionarily conserved signaling intermediate in Toll pathways (Ecsit) is reported to play an essential role in innate immunity, embryogenesis, and assembly or stability of the mitochondrial complex I. In this study, the full-length cDNA of Ecsit was cloned from the spinyhead croaker Collichthys lucidus based on the expressed sequence tags from our cDNA.. Read More»

Genome sequence compression based on optimized context weighting
Authors: M. Chen, J.J. Shao and X.M. Jia
Context weighting is an important technology for genome compression. In this study, we discuss the relationship between the weighting of context models and the weighting of the description lengths corresponding to their respective context models. It indicates that weighting of context models is equivalent to the weighting of t.. Read More»

Changes in hippocampal ultrastructure and vimentin expression in rhesus monkeys following selective deep hypothermia and blood occlusion
Authors: B.C. Li, X. Fu, X.Q. Niu, Y.D. Fan, W. Xu, X.X. Zhao and J. Pu
Previous studies have shown that selective cerebral profound hypothermia combined with antegrade cerebral perfusion can improve resistance to cerebral hypoxia-ischemia in monkeys. The aim of this study was to observe the effect of selective cerebral profound hypothermia on the ultrastructure and vimentin expression in monkey hippocampi after severe cerebr.. Read More»

Intrinsic colony conditions affect the provisioning and oviposition process in the stingless bee Melipona scutellaris
Authors: R.A. Pereira, M.M. Morais, F.S. Nascimento, L.R. Bego
The cell provisioning and oviposition process (POP) is a unique characteristic of stingless bees (Meliponini), in which coordinated interactions between workers and queen regulate the filling of brood cells with larval resources and subsequent egg laying. Environmental conditions seem to regulate reproduction in stingless bees.. Read More»

Construction of gene/protein interaction networks for primary myelofibrosis and KEGG pathway-enrichment analysis of molecular compounds
Authors: C.G. Sun, X.J. Cao,C. Zhou, L.J. Liu, F.B. Feng, R.J. Liu, J. Zhuang,Y.J. Li
The objective of this study was the development of a gene/protein interaction network for primary myelofibrosis based on gene expression, and the enrichment analysis of KEGG pathways underlying the molecular complexes in this network. To achieve this, genes involved in primary myelofibrosis were selected from the OMIM database.. Read More»

Development and characterization of nine polymorphic microsatellites for the small brown planthopper Laodelphax striatellus (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)
Authors: J.-T. Sun, J.-B. Li, X.-M. Yang and X.-Y. Hong
Nine microsatellite loci were isolated from the genome of Laodelphax striatellus (Homoptera: Delphacidae) by constructing (TC)6(AC)5 and (AG)6(AC)5 compound SSR-enriched libraries using suppression-PCR procedures. These loci were found to be highly polymorphic, with 13 to 30 alleles per locus in the three populations that we i.. Read More»
