Authors: J. Xia, X.G. Zheng, G.Z. Adili, Y.R. Wei, W.G. Ma, X.M. Xue, X.Y. Mi, Z. Yi, S.J. Chen, W. Du, M. Muhan, C. Duhaxi, T. Han, B. Gudai and J. Huang
Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an infectious disease caused by peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV). While PPR mainly affects domestic goats and sheep, it also affects wild ungulates such as ibex, blue sheep, and gazelle, although there are few reports regarding PPRV infection in wild animals. Between January 2015 and .. Read More»

Ethnic variation of the C677T and A1298C polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate-reductase (MTHFR) gene in southwestern Mexico.
Authors: V. Antonio-V�©jar, O. del Moral-Hern�¡ndez, L.C. Alarc�³n-Romero, E. Flores-Alfaro, M.A. Leyva-V�¡zquez, D. Hern�¡ndez-Sotelo and B. Illades-Aguiar
In this study, we examined the distribution of genotype and allele frequencies of the C677T and A1298C polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate-reductase gene (MTHFR) in two ethnic groups in the State of Guerrero, Mexico, which were compared with those of the Mestizo population of the region. A comparative study was cond.. Read More»

Construction and characterization of a bacterial artificial chromosome library for the allotetraploid Gossypium tomentosum
Authors: F. Liu, Y.H. Wang, H.Y. Gao, C.Y. Wang, Z.L. Zhou, X.Y. Cai, X.X. Wang, Z.S. Zhang and K.B. Wang
Gossypium tomentosum is a wild allotetraploid species with the (AD)5 genome. It is characterized by many useful traits including finer fiber fineness, drought tolerance, and Fusarium and Verticillium resistance. We constructed the first bacterial artificial chromosome library for Gossypium tomentosum. With high quality and broad coverage, this library inc.. Read More»

Expression profiles of retinoic acid synthetases ALDH1As and metabolic enzymes CYP26s in adult and embryonic zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Authors: J. Xi,J. Yue and Z. Yang
Retinoic acid (RA) plays a crucial role in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The physiological activity of RA begins early in development and continues throughout an organism’s life. RA distribution is tightly controlled by the RA synthetases ALDH1As and the metabolic enzymes CYP26s. We analyzed the expressions of ALDH1As and C.. Read More»

Microarray analysis of microRNA deregulation and angiogenesis-related proteins in endometriosis
Authors: R.Q. Yang, H. Teng, X.H. Xu, S.Y. Liu, Y.H. Wang, F.J. Guo and X.J. Liu
We examined the aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression profile responsible for the changes in angiogenesis observed in endometriotic lesions. This study revealed characteristic miRNA expression profiles associated with endometriosis in endometrial tissue and endometriotic lesions from the same patient, and their correlation with..

Assessment of genetic diversity of wheat genotypes by resistance gene analog-EST markers
Authors: O. Karakas, F. Gurel and A.A. Uncuoglu
Resistance gene analog-expressed sequence tag (RGA-EST)-based markers have been used for variety discrimination and studies of genetic diversity in wheat. Our aim is to increase the competitiveness of public wheat breeding programs through intensive use of modern selection technologies, mainly marker-assisted selection. The ge.. Read More»

Diversity and structure of a bacterial community in grassland soils disturbed by sheep grazing, in the Loess Plateau of northwestern China
Authors: Y.N. Gou, Z.B. Nan and F.J. Hou
The relationship between disturbance, biodiversity, and ecosystem function has been a hot topic recently in international ecological research, and a universally applicable model remains elusive. In this study, we assessed the diversity and structure of a bacterial community in grassland soils along a disturbance gradient due to sheep grazing. Bacteria wer.. Read More»

Prader-Willi-like phenotypes: a systematic review of their chromosomal abnormalities
Authors: C.F. Rocha and C.L.A. Paiva
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is caused by the lack of expression of genes located on paternal chromosome 15q11-q13. This lack of gene expression may be due to a deletion in this chromosomal segment, to maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 15, or to a defect in the imprinting center on 15q11-q13. PWS is characterized by hyp.. Read More»

Correlation between sperm ultrastructure in infertile patients with abnormal sperm morphology and DNA damage
Authors: M. He and L. Tan
This study explored the correlation between sperm ultrastructure in infertile patients with abnormal sperm morphology and DNA damage. Three unusual sperm morphologies were selected for the experimental group namely case 1 (95% headless sperm), case 2 (98% headless sperm), and case 3 (100% headless sperm), and the control group consisted of 2 subjects (20 ..
