Development of microsatellite markers and genetic diversity analysis for Pelodiscus sinensis
Authors: T. Li, J. Zhao, W. Li, Y. Shi, X.Y. Hong and X.P. Zhu,
Pelodiscus sinensis is a common freshwater soft-shell turtle found in China, and is an important aquaculture species. In this study, 20 polymorphic microsatellite primers were developed from the transcriptome. The genetic diversity of three populations of P. sinensis was evaluated, using 72 individuals. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 26... Read More»

Expression and significance of molecular biomarkers in esophageal carcinoma in different nationalities patients in Xinjiang
Authors: L. Zhang, J. Sun, J.Q. Zhang, M. Yang, G. Bai and X.L. Ma
This study aimed to explore some useful biomarkers to focus on the diagnosis and therapy response judgment in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Xinjiang. We used enzyme-linked immunosorbent method and immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of VEGF, EGFR, ES, HER-2, and NF-κBp in the serum and tissue with esoph.. Read More»

Characterization of microRNAs and their target genes associated with transcriptomic changes in gamma-irradiated Arabidopsis
Authors: J.H. Kim, Y.S. Go, J.K. Kim and B.Y. Chung
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression in response to biotic and abiotic stress in plants. We investigated gamma-ray-responsive miRNAs in Arabidopsis wild-type and cmt3-11t mutant plants using miRNA microarray analysis. miRNA expression was differentiated between the wild-type and cmt3-11t mutants. miR164a, miR169d, miR169h, miR172b*, and miR403 were..

Genetic diversity of Toona sinensis Roem in China revealed by ISSR and SRAP markers
Authors: P.Y. Xing, T. Liu, Z.Q. Song and X.F. Li
Toona sinensis Roem has an important value as a type of traditional vegetable and Chinese medicinal herb, and is also a valuable source of wood in China. In this study, we used the inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers to assess the level and pattern of genetic diversity in five domesticated T. sine..

Functional polymorphisms in microRNAs and susceptibility to liver cancer: a meta-analysis and meta-regression
Authors: B.S. Wang, Z. Liu, W.X. Xu and S.L. Sun
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that play a fundamental role in controlling a variety of biological functions. Emerging evidence has shown that common genetic polymorphisms in miRNAs may be associated with the development of liver cancer; however, several individually published studies showed inconclusive..

Effect of karst rocky desertification on soil fungal communities in Southwest China
Authors: P.C. Wang, B.T. Mo, Y. Chen, Q.F. Zeng and L.B. Wang
Karst mountainous ecosystems are associated with karst rocky desertification (KRD), which can greatly impact soil structure and function. Despite the importance of soil microbes as a major factor maintaining ecosystem stability, we know little about the effect on soil fungal communities of KRD in karst regions. We investigated this relationship across a g.. Read More»

Development of microsatellite markers of vandaceous orchids for species and variety identification
Authors: S. Peyachoknagul, C. Nettuwakul, P. Phuekvilai, S. Wannapinpong and K. Srikulnath
Vandaceous orchids are a group of orchid genera in the subfamily Vandoideae. Among this group, Mokara, Phalaenopsis, and Vanda are the most popular and commercially important orchids in Thailand. Novel microsatellite markers were developed from Mokara, the intergeneric hybrid from 3 genera Vanda.. Read More»
