Authors: A. Fujita, J.R. Sato, F. Festa, L.R. Gomes, S.M. Oba-Shinjo,S.K.N. Marie, C.E. Ferreira and M.C. Sogayar
Diffuse infiltrating gliomas are the most common tumors of the central nervous system. Gliomas are classified by the WHO according to their histopathological and clinical characteristics into four classes: grade I (pilocytic astrocytoma), grade II (diffuse astrocytoma), grade III (anaplastic astrocytoma), and grade IV (gliobla..

Polymorphic microsatellite loci in the rapid racerunner Eremias velox (Squamata: Lacertidae)
Authors: H. Li, Z.-S. Zhou, J. Guo and L.H. Lin
We isolated and characterizated 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the rapid racerunner Eremias velox (Squamata: Lacertidae). The loci were screened in 37 E. velox individuals. The number of alleles ranged from 6 to 16. The observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.432 to 0.919, and the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.685 to 0.902. These microsatelli.. Read More»

Population genetic structure and its implication in the conservation of Schizopygopsis pylzovi in Yellow River as inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequence analysis
Authors: 11
To assess the genetic diversity, structure, and population dynamics of Schizopygopsis pylzovi, we examined the changes in mitochondrial DNA sequences (the mtDNA control region and the Cyt b gene; 1835 bp) in 304 individuals from nine populations. The samples were segregated into 112 haplotypes, with high haplotype diversity an.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Metrodorea nigra (Rutaceae) from a small forest remnant in Brazil assessed with microsatellite markers
Authors: M.C. Guidugli, R. Ferreira-Ramos, A.C.B. de Sousa, F.W. Cidade, T.G. Marconi, M.A. Mestriner, M. Groppo and A.L. Alzate-Marin
Metrodorea nigra (Rutaceae) is an endemic Brazilian tree of great ecological importance, frequently found in the submontane regions of ombrophilous dense and semideciduous forests. This tree is useful for reforesting degraded areas and the wood can be employed in construction. We developed 12 microsatellite markers from a geno.. Read More»

Cytogenetic studies in Brazilian marine Sciaenidae and Sparidae fishes (Perciformes)
Authors: I.V. Accioly and W.F. Molina
Fishes from the families Sciaenidae and Sparidae, the former comprising coastal species associated with shallow waters on the continental shelf and the latter composed of typically marine species, are of significant economic value. Karyotypic data are available for about 20% of the total number of species in these groups. In t.. Read More»

Molecular characterization and upregulation of cytosolic manganese superoxide dismutase by imidazole derivative KK-42 in Macrobrachium nipponense
Authors: W.F. Wang, L.M. Mu, X.S. Wu, H. Yang and Q.J. Ning
Imidazole derivative KK-42 is a well-known regulator of insect growth. KK-42 pretreatment has been shown to promote the survival of Macrobrachium nipponense infected with Aeromonas hydrophila, possibly via activation of superoxide dismutase (SOD). In this study, the cytMnSOD gene was cloned from the hepatopancreas of M. nippon.. Read More»

Human papillomavirus viral load in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia as a prognostic factor in a Mexican population
Authors: A.E. Bencomo-?lvarez, I. Limones-Perches, A.E. Su?¡rez-Rinc?³n, L.J. Ram?rez-Jirano, E. Borrayo-Carbajal, J. S?¡nchez-Corona and H. Montoya-Fuentes
Persistent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) has been recognized as the main etiological factor of morbimortality in cervical cancer. Several factors have been associated with the development of cervical disease, but viral load has recently been proposed as an indicator of cervical neoplasia. Therefore, a single measur.. Read More»

Characterization and evolution of the mitochondrial DNA control region in Ranidae and their phylogenetic relationship
Authors: Z.H. Huang and F.Y. Tu
The control region is considered to be one of the most variable parts of animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). We compared the mtDNA control region from 37 species representing 14 genera and 4 subfamilies of Ranidae, to analyze the evolution of the control region and to determine their phylogenetic relationship. All the Ranidae sp.. Read More»

Combined analysis of the MspI and XbaI polymorphisms in intron 22 of the factor VIII gene for detection of hemophilia A in a Korean population.
Authors: S.H. Park, N. Chung, M.R. Lee, S.K. Yoo and Y.M. Choi
To determine the usefulness of MspI/int22h-1 (intron 22 homologous region-1) polymorphism of the factor VIII gene for molecular genetic diagnosis of hemophilia A in the Korean population, MspI/intron 22 and XbaI/intron 22 polymorphisms were analyzed in 101 unrelated Korean families with severe hemophilia A.
