Genetic variation of Prochilodus lineatus (Valenciennes, 1836) from ParanÃ?¡, BaÃ?Âa, Miranda, and CorumbÃ?¡ rivers, Brazil
Authors: E. Revaldaves, E. Renesto and J.R. Gold
The curimbatá (Prochilodus lineatus) is one of the migratory species in the Paraná River Basin impacted by the construction of dams. Mitochondrial DNA sequences and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fragments were used to investigate genetic variability and geographic structure of five populations of curimb.. Read More»

Cultivar-level phylogeny using chloroplast DNA barcode psbK-psbI spacers for identification of Emirati date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) varieties
Authors: M.R. Enan and A. Ahmed
The efficacy of genetic material for use as DNA barcodes is under constant evaluation and improvement as new barcodes offering better resolution and efficiency of amplification for specific species groups are identified. In this study, the chloroplast intergenic spacer psbK-psbI was evaluated for the first time as a DNA barcode for distinguishing date pal.. Read More»

Molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of important medicinal plant species in genus Paeonia based on rDNA-ITS, matK, and rbcL DNA barcode sequences
Authors: W.J. Kim, Y. Ji, G. Choi, Y.M. Kang, S. Yang and B.C. Moon
This study was performed to identify and analyze the phylogenetic relationship among four herbaceous species of the genus Paeonia, P. lactiflora, P. japonica, P. veitchii, and P. suffruticosa, using DNA barcodes. These four species, which are commonly used in traditional medicine as Paeoniae Radix and Moutan Radicis Cortex, are pharmaceutically defined in.. Read More»

Testing the utility of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 sequences for phylogenetic estimates of relationships between crane (Grus) species
Authors: D.B. Yu, R. Chen, H.A. Kaleri, B.C. Jiang, H.X. Xu and W.-X. Du
Morphology and biogeography are widely used in animal taxonomy. Recent study has suggested that a DNA-based identification system, using a 648-bp portion of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (CO1), also known as the barcoding gene, can aid in the resolution of inferences concerning phylogenetic relationships ..

Evaluation of the humoral immune response in BALB/c mice immunized with a naked DNA vaccine anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Authors: D.M. Roth, J.P.M. Senna and D.C. Machado
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the major pathogen involved in nosocomial infections, leading to high rates of morbidity and mortality in hospitals worldwide. The methicillin resistance occurs due to the presence of an additional penicillin-binding protein, PBP2a, which has low affinity for β-lactam .. Read More»

Molecular differentiation in natural populations of Anopheles oswaldoi sensu lato (Diptera: Culicidae) from the Brazilian Amazon, using sequences of the COI gene from mitochondrial DNA
Authors: V.M. Scarpassa and J.E. Conn
Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) oswaldoi (Peryassú, 1922) s. l., which has been incriminated as a potential human malaria vector in Western Brazilian Amazon, may constitute a cryptic species complex. However, the most recent study with isozymes indicated high similarity among samples from the States of Acre, Amazonas and Rond.. Read More»

An improved K-means clustering method for cDNA microarray image segmentation
Authors: T.N. Wang, T.J. Li, G.F. Shao and S.X. Wu
Microarray technology is a powerful tool for human genetic research and other biomedical applications. Numerous improvements to the standard K-means algorithm have been carried out to complete the image segmentation step. However, most of the previous studies classify the image into two clusters. In this paper, we propose a novel K-means algorithm, which .. Read More»

SCAR marker for sex identification of Pistacia chinensis Bunge (Anacardiaceae)
Authors: Q. Sun, X. Yang and R. Li
Pistacia chinensis Bunge is a dioecious plant that originated in China, and its sex cannot be identified at the early stage of cultivation by only its appearance. Recent studies show that the seed of P. chinensis is an ideal feedstock for biofuel production. To guide the cultivation of this energy plant scientifically, a new method is urgently needed to i..

Molecular identification of Greek olive (Olea europaea) cultivars based on microsatellite loci
Authors: K. Roubos, M. Moustakas and F.A. Aravanopoulos
Olea europaea is one of the oldest species of domesticated trees. We used microsatellite markers for fingerprinting and for evaluation of genetic similarity and structure of 26 Greek olive cultivars, which cover most of the olive cultivation regions of Greece, including previously undescribed denominations from northern Greece..
