Population genetic structure of wild and hatchery black rockfish Sebastes inermis in Korea, assessed using cross-species microsatellite markers
Authors: H.S. An, E.-M. Kim, J.-H. Lee, J.K. Noh, C.M. An, S.J. Yoon, K.D. Park and J.-I. Myeong
The population structure of the black rockfish, Sebastes inermis (Sebastidae), was estimated using 10 microsatellite loci developed for S. schlegeli on samples of 174 individuals collected from three wild and three hatchery populations in Korea. Reduced genetic variation was detected in hatchery strains [overall number of alle.. Read More»

Two genetic stocks of Steindachneridion melanodermatum living in sympatry in nature and genetic variability of wild parents and F1 generation
Authors: D.A. Matoso, M. da Silva, M.C.S. Cortinhas, M.M. Cestari, M.C. de Almeida, M.R. Vicari and R.F. Artoni
Steindachneridion melanodermatum is a large Brazilian catfish, highly prized for sport fishing and for its meat. Specimens of this species, both caught in nature from Iguacu River and F1 fish born in captivity, were analyzed with regard to patterns of RAPD molecular markers. Genetic similarity ranged from 0.57 to 0.95; two gro.. Read More»

Reevaluation of RAPD markers involved in a case of stingray misidentification (Dasyatidae: Dasyatis)
Authors: V.V. Faria L.S. Rolim L.A.L. Vaz M.A.A. Furtado-Neto
We investigated a reported case of stingray Dasyatis americana misidentification not detected in a published study using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. If the referred specimen (landed by fisheries in Ceará, northeastern Brazil) was misidentified (as Dasyatis centroura) in the field, why did its RAPD data fail to clarify the.. Read More»

Correlation of EGFR gene amplification with invasion and metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer
Authors: X.F. Jia, J. Li, H.B. Zhao, J. Liu and J.J. Liu
The aim of this study was to explore epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene amplification and its relationship with cancer invasion and metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EGFR amplification in 45 patients with NSCLC and 15 subjects with normal lung tissues was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The relationship between EG.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite DNA in the piracema fish Prochilodus lineatus (Characiformes)
Authors: Yazbeck GM and Kalapothakis E
We described five novel microsatellite loci for the piracema fish species Prochilodus lineatus (Characiformes), endemic to South America and of extreme importance to both commercial and artisanal fisheries across its occurrence area. A primary, unenriched genomic library was constructed and radioactively screened for repetitiv.. Read More»

Smith-Magenis syndrome: clinical evaluation in seven Brazilian patients
Authors: B.F. Gamba, G.H. Vieira, D.H. Souza, F.F. Monteiro, J.J. Lorenzini, D.R. Carvalho and D. Morreti-Ferreira
Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a complex congenital anomaly characterized by craniofacial anomalies, neurological and behavioral disorders. SMS is caused by a deletion in region 17p11.2, which includes the RAI1 gene (90% of cases), or by point mutation in the RAI1 gene (10% of cases). Laboratory diagnosis is through cytogenet..

Coagulation factor III (tissue factor) is required for vascularization in zebrafish embryos
Authors: R.F. Zhou, Y. Liu, Y.X. Wang, W. Mo and M. Yu
Tissue factor (coagulation factor III) is a cell surface receptor for coagulation factor VII/VIIa; it was initially recognized as an initiator of the extrinsic coagulation pathway. Recently, the zebrafish tissue factor gene (TF) has been cloned. Paralogs encode coagulation factors IIIa and IIIb; both show remarkable sequence i.. Read More»

Genetic structure and diversity in natural and stocked populations of the mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) in China
Authors: M. Yang, C. Tian, X.-F. Liang, H. Zheng, C. Zhao and K. Zhu
The Chinese perch, or mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi), is a freshwater fish that is endemic to East Asia. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity and structure of nine natural mandarin fish populations (from the Yangtze River and Amur River basins) and six hatchery stocks (from central and south China) using microsatellite markers. The resu.. Read More»

Genetic variation and population structure of two species of neo-tropical mud-mussels (Mytella spp)
Authors: Miguel E.G.C. de Oliveira, Claudia A.M. Russo, Cristiano Lazoski, Paulo Roberto F.G. Vianna and Antonio M. Sol�©-Cava
Mytella guyanensis Lamarck (1819) and Mytella charruana d’Orbigny (1846) are widespread euryhaline bivalves that have become commercially important in Brazil. Despite their importance, however, no genetic information that would be useful to orient governmental policies is available for these species. We analyzed, through.. Read More»

Improvements in cytological preparations for fluorescent in situ hybridization in Passiflora
Authors: M.M. Souza, J.D. Urdampilleta and E.R. Forni-Martins
Cytological preparations for the fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique require cytoplasm-free metaphases, with well-spread chromosomes, for the localization of DNA sequences and chromosome mapping. We tested various procedures for FISH analysis of Passiflora cacaoensis, P. gardneri and hybrid F1 progeny of P. gard.. Read More»
