Usefulness of the HMRPGV method for simultaneous selection of upland cotton genotypes with greater fiber length and high yield stability
Authors: F.J.C. Farias, L.P. Carvalho, J.L. Silva Filho and P.E. Teodoro
The harmonic mean of the relative performance of genotypic predicted value (HMRPGV) method has been used to measure the genotypic stability and adaptability of various crops. However, its use in cotton is still restricted. This study aimed to use mixed models to select cotton genotypes that simultaneously result in longer fiber length, higher fiber yield,.. Read More»

Assessment of genetic relationship among Rhododendron cultivars using amplified fragment length polymorphism and inter-simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: J.J. Xu, B. Zhao, H.F. Shen, W.M. Huang and L.X. Yuan
Genetic relationships of 17 Rhododendron cultivars, China, were assessed using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. A total of 133 bands were obtained using nine selected ISSR primers, 129 (96.99%) of which were polymorphic; 267 bands were amplified by four AFLP primer pairs, 251 (94.01%) of which .. Read More»

Mutations in NR5A1 and PIN1 associated with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
Authors: S.C. Hu J. Ye A.K. Fathi X. Fu S. Huang Q. Ning X.P. Luo
We tested the hypothesis that mutations in NR5A1 and PIN1 cause disorders in gonadotropin-gonadal system development and function, throught direct DNA sequencing of the coding sequence and splice-sites of NR5A1 and PIN1 in 50 subjects with sporadic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. These patients were recruited from the Pediatrics section of Tongj.. Read More»

Heterogeneous evolution of Ty3-gypsy retroelements among bamboo species
Authors: M.M. An, C. Guo, P.P. Lin and M.B. Zhou
Ty3-gypsy long-terminal repeat retroelements are ubiquitously found in many plant genomes. This study reports the occurrence of heterogeneous Ty3-gypsy retroelements in four representative bamboo species: Phyllostachys heterocycla (Carr.) Mitford cv. pubescens, P. heterocycla (Carr.) Mitford cv. heterocycla, Dendrocalamopsis oldhami, and Pleioblastus fort.. Read More»

Development of two novel specific SCAR markers by cloning improved RAPD fragments from the medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidium (Leysser: Fr) Karst
Authors: M.A. Khan, J.L. Cheng, Z.Q. Mei, C.L. Wei and J.J. Fu
Development of sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers from random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fragments is a valuable molecular approach for the genetic identification of different species. By using SCAR markers, molecular analysis is reduced to a simple polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis using primers designed from the amplicon.. Read More»

Genetic correlations between heifer subsequent rebreeding and age at first calving and growth traits in Nellore cattle by Bayesian inference
Authors: A.A. Boligon F. Baldi L.G. Albuquerque
We estimated heritability for subsequent rebreeding (SR) of heifers and genetic correlations between this trait and weaning weight (WW), weight gain from weaning to yearling (WG), age at first calving (AFC), and mature cow weight (MW), in order to evaluate whether SR could be included as selection criterion in Nellore cattle. The SR of heifers was defined.. Read More»

Polymorphisms of eNOS, catalase, and myeloperoxidase genes in prostate cancer in Turkish men: preliminary results
Authors: G.G. Ceylan, C. Ceylan, B. G�¼lmemmedo ��. Tonyal�±, O. Odaba�� A. G�¶zalan, �°. Kele�� and E. ��zt�¼rk
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common type of neoplasm in European males. Genetic and epigenetic factors contribute to PCa development and progression. In this study, we aimed to assess the relationship between PCa and polymorphisms in the genes encoding endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), catalase (CAT), and myeloperoxidase (MPO). In total, 193 .. Read More»

Benchmark comparison of ab initio microRNA identification methods and software
Authors: L.L. Hu Y. Huang Q.C. Wang Q. Zou Y. Jiang
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-coding RNA molecules that play an important role in the world of genes, especially in regulating the gene expression of target messenger RNAs through cleavage or translational repression of messenger RNA. Ab initio methods have become popular in computational miRNA detection. Most software tools are designed to distinguish m.. Read More»
