Genetic diversity analysis in Malaysian giant prawns using expressed sequence tag microsatellite markers for stock improvement program
Authors: K.H. Atin, A. Christianus, N. Fatin, A.C. Lutas, M. Shabanimofrad and B. Subha
The Malaysian giant prawn is among the most commonly cultured species of the genus Macrobrachium. Stocks of giant prawns from four rivers in Peninsular Malaysia have been used for aquaculture over the past 25 years, which has led to repeated harvesting, restocking, and transplantation between rivers. Consequently, a stock impr.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analyses of tropical goats from some countries of Middle East
Authors: R.M. Al-Atiyat
The genetic structure of 10 goat breeds from four countries of the Middle East and Horn of Africa was investigated at 17 microsatellite loci. The average allele number and richness were 9.65 and 5.78, respectively. The mean expected heterozygosity per population was 0.703, 0.715, 0.719, 0.699, 0.749, 0.719, 0.731, 0.721, 0.719.. Read More»

Diallel analysis for agronomic traits in upland cotton in semi-arid zones in Brazil
Authors: D.R. Queiroz, F.J.C. Farias, J.J.C. Vasconcelos, L.P. Carvalho, D.G. Neder, L.S.S. Souza, F.C. Farias and P.E. Teodoro
This study aimed to estimate the general- (GCA) and specific-combining ability (SCA) and obtain information on the genetic control of agronomic traits among six upland cotton genotypes and their hybrid combinations. In 2015, six cotton genotypes (FM 993, CNPA 04-2080, PSC 355, TAM B 139-17, IAC 26, and TAMCOT-CAMD-E), and fift.. Read More»

Association of CYP2C19*2 with hyperlipidemia in patients with the wild-type CYP2C9
Authors: K. Khalighi, G. Cheng, S. Mirabbasi, B. Khalighi, Y. Wu and W. Fan
Arachidonic acids are metabolized by cytochromes P450 (CYP450) to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). EETs have many cardiovascular protective effects such as vasodilation, anti-hypertension, anti-inflammation, lipid-lowering effects, and favorable effects on glucose homeostasis. This study aimed to investigate whether gene poly.. Read More»
