Authors: X. Gao, Y.J. Tang, G.F. Zhang, L. Yu and S.T. Qi
We conducted a case-control study to investigate the role of ERCC2 rs13181 polymorphism in glioma development. A total of 165 patients who were histopathologically diagnosed to have gliomas and 330 controls were collected at Jiujiang First People’s Hospital between July 2012 and June 2014. The ERCC2 rs13181 polymorphism .. Read More»

Subtyping Brazilian Yersinia pestis strains by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis
Authors: M.P.S. Barros, V.M. Silveira-Filho, R.H.F.B. Lins, M.B.M. Oliveira, A.M.P. Almeida and T.C. Leal-Balbino
We subtyped Brazilian Yersinia pestis strains by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). This was done with 22 Brazilian Y. pestis strains: 17 from an outbreak and 5 from endemic routine surveillance. The strains were divided into 2 groups (I and II), 8 subgroups (A-H) and 19 PFGE profiles or pulsotypes. PFGE did not separate outbreak from non-outbreak s.. Read More»

Balance between inflammatory and regulatory cytokines in systemic lupus erythematosus
Authors: Y. Yao, J.B. Wang, M.M. Xin, H. Li, B. Liu, L.L. Wang, L.Q. Wang and L. Zhao
To investigate the cytokine profile in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and central nervous system infection, we measured interferon-g (IFN-g), interleukin-1b (IL-1b), IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and IL-17 levels in serum and CSF from 50 SLE patients and 38 matched controls..

A proposed model for the flowering signaling pathway of sugarcane under photoperiodic control
Authors: C.P. Coelho, A.P. Costa Netto, J. Colasanti and A. Chalfun-Junior
Molecular analysis of floral induction in Arabidopsis has identified several flowering time genes related to 4 response networks defined by the autonomous, gibberellin, photoperiod, and vernalization pathways. Although grass flowering processes include ancestral functions shared by both mono- and dicots, they have developed their own mechanisms to transmi.. Read More»

Association of CYP1A1 MspI polymorphism with oral cancer risk in Asian populations: a meta-analysis
Authors: J.L. Xu, R. Xia, L. Sun, X. Min, Z.H. Sun, C. Liu, H. Zhang and Y.M. Zhu
Numerous studies regarding the association between the CYP1A1 MspI polymorphism and oral cancer risk in Asian populations have shown controversial results. To get a more precise estimation of this relationship, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis. PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Elsevier Science Direct, Web of Knowledge, .. Read More»

The insertion/deletion polymorphism in the ACE gene and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Authors: S. Simsek, S. Tekes, D. Oral, A. Turkyilmaz, B. Isik, M.R. Isik and H. Akkoc
An insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism was identified in intron 16 of the gene encoding the human angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE), a candidate gene for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We investigated the relationship between this polymorphism in the ACE gene and the risk of developing COPD. Sixty-six COPD in-patients and 40 non-smoki.. Read More»

Genome-wide analysis of TCP family in tobacco
Authors: L. Chen, Y.Q. Chen, A.M. Ding, H. Chen, F. Xia, W.F. Wang and Y.H. Sun
The TCP family is a transcription factor family, members of which are extensively involved in plant growth and development as well as in signal transduction in the response against many physiological and biochemical stimuli. In the present study, 61 TCP genes were identified in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) genome. Bioinformatic.. Read More»

Evaluation of genetic diversity in fig accessions by using microsatellite markers
Authors: A.D.B. do Val, C.S. Souza, E.A. Ferreira, S.M.L. Salgado, M. Pasqual and G.M.A. Can�§ado
Fig (Ficus carica L.) is a fruit of great importance worldwide. Its propagation is carried out with stem cuttings, a procedure that favors the occurrence of synonymy among specimens. Thus, molecular markers have become an important tool for studies of DNA fingerprinting, germplasm characterization, and genetic diversity evaluation in this plant species. T.. Read More»

Authors: Z.B. Li, Y.F. Ning, J.B. Shangguan, B.B. Li, X.Q. Mao, Y.S. Huang and Y. Yuan
Ruditapes philippinarum is considered a commercially valuable species, which is commonly found in tidal flats along West Pacific coasts. In China, it is mainly distributed in the southeast sea. In this study, 16 novel microsatellite loci from the R. philippinarum genome were developed, using the protocol of fast isolation by a.. Read More»
