Authors: P. Akaboot, M. Duangjinda, Y. Phasuk, C. Kaenchan and W. Chinchiyanond
Genetic characterization among Red Junglefowl (GS, Gallus gallus spadiceus), Thai indigenous chicken (TIC, Gallus domesticus) and commercial lines has been widely used for studies of genealogical origin, genetic diversity, and effects of selection. We compared the efficiency of genetic characterization of chicken populations t.. Read More»

Expression of 1alpha-HYD and 24-HYD in bovine kidney mediated by vitamin D3 supplementation
Authors: L.R. Rezende, E.F. Delgado, A.R.L. J�ºnior, G. Gasparin, E.C. Jorge, G.B. Mour�£o and L.L. Coutinho
order to better understand vitamin D3 in cattle metabolism, we quantified 1alpha-HYD and 24-HYD gene expression. In the kidneys of 35 male Nellore cattle, these were divided into a control group and two treatment groups (2 x 106 international units of vitamin D3 administered for 2 or 8 consecutive days pre-slaughter). Vitamin D3 supplementation resulted i.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and cDNA characterization of Camelus dromedarius putative cytochrome P450s 1A, 2C, and 3A
Authors: H.M. Saeed, M.S. Alanazi, M.A. Shalaby, O. Alshahrani, F.S. Ataya, A.A. Pathan and Z.A Abduljaleel
The domesticated one-humped Arabian camel, Camelus dromedarius, is one of the most important animals in the Arabian Peninsula. Most of its life, this animal is exposed to both intrinsic and extrinsic genotoxic factors that are known to cause gross metabolic alterations in many organisms. This study determined the full length c.. Read More»

Analysis of geographic and pairwise distances among sheep populations
Authors: J.B. Liu, Y.J. Yue, X. Lang, F. Wang, X. Zha, J. Guo, R.L. Feng, T.T. Guo, B.H. Yang and X.P. Sun
This study investigated geographic and pairwise distances among seven Chinese local and four introduced sheep populations via analysis of 26 microsatellite DNA markers. Genetic polymorphism was rich, and the following was discovered: 348 alleles in total were detected, the average allele number was 13.38, the polymorphism info.. Read More»

Transcriptome profiling of the crofton weed gall fly Procecidochares utilis
Authors: X. Gao, J.Y. Zhu, S. Ma, Z. Zhang, C. Xiao, Q. Li, Z.Y. Li and G.X. Wu
Procecidochares utilis is a tephritid gall fly, which is known to be an effective biological agent that can be used to control the notoriously widespread crofton weed Eupatorium adenophorum. Despite its importance, genetic resources for P. utilis remain scarce. In this study, 1.2 Gb sequences were generated using Illumina pair.. Read More»

Genetic polymorphisms of the IGF-II gene intron 8 coding region and its association with growth and carcass traits in yak
Authors: Y.F. Zeng, X.Z. Ding, S.R. Cheng and S.J. Yu
Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) plays a key role in mammalian growth and is involved in stimulating fetal cell division, differentiation, and metabolic regulation. IGF-II is considered a candidate gene for genetic markers of growth and carcass traits. Therefore, in this study, the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IGF-II.. Read More»

To define the best strategies for genomic association studies and genomic selection, it is necessary to determine the extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) and the genetic structure of the study population. The current study evaluated the transference of genomic information contained in the Illumina BovineHD BeadChip from catt.. Read More»

Overexpression of HSP27 in cultured human aortic smooth muscular cells reduces apoptosis induced by low-frequency and low-energy ultrasound by inhibition of an intrinsic pathway
Authors: B. Zhang, H.S. Zhou, Q. Cheng, L. Lei and B. Hu
We investigated in vitro the effect of low-frequency and low-energy ultrasound (LFLEU) on apoptosis of an overexpressed HSP27 human aortic smooth muscle cell (HASMC) line. A frequency of 42.6 kHz was used in all experiments. HASMC were exposed to ultrasound and cell viability was evaluated by MTT reduction. Overexpressed HSP27-HASMC was constructed on a p.. Read More»

Authors: J.C. Sousa, R.T. Germano, C.C.M. Castro, S.M.M. Magalhaes and R.F. Pinheiro
Isochromosome 17q is a relatively common karyotypic abnormality in medulloblastoma, gastric, bladder, and breast cancers. In myeloid disorders, it is observed during disease progression and evolution to acute myeloid leukemia in Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukemia. It has been reported in rare cases of myelodysplast.. Read More»
