Heterochromatin and chromosome evolution: a FISH probe of Cebus apella paraguayanus (Primate: Platyrrhini) developed by chromosome microdissection
Authors: Mariela Nieves, MarÃ?Âa MÃ?¼hlmann and Marta Dolores Mudry
Neotropical Primate karyotypes are highly variable, particularly in the heterochromatic regions, not only regarding the amount of heterochromatin, but also the composition. G and C banding and FISH techniques provide useful information to characterize interspecific relationships. We used chromosome microdissection to develop a.. Read More»

Microsatellite analysis of genetic diversity and genetic structure in five consecutive breeding generations of mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi (Basilewsky)
Authors: T.L. Yi, W.J. Guo, X.F. Liang, M. Yang, L.Y. Lv, C.X. Tian, Y. Song, C. Zhao and J. Sun
In this report, 10 polymorphic microsatellites were applied to assess the genetic diversity and genetic differentiation of 5 consecutive breeding generations of mandarin fish, Siniperca chuatsi (Basilewsky). The results from total number of alleles, average polymorphism information content, and average homozygosity and heterozygosity showed that the genet.. Read More»

DNA barcoding reveals high levels of genetic diversity in the fishes of the Itapecuru Basin in Maranh�£o, Brazil
Authors: M.H.S. Nascimento, M.S. Almeida, M.N.S. Veira, D. Limeira Filho, R.C. Lima, M.C. Barros and E.C. Fraga
DNA barcoding is a useful complementary tool for use in traditional taxonomic studies due to its ability to detect cryptic species, and may be particularly efficient in the identification of fish species. The fish fauna of the Itapecuru River represents an important fishery resource in the Brazilian State of Maranhão, a.. Read More»

Cytogenetic studies in Brazilian marine Sciaenidae and Sparidae fishes (Perciformes)
Authors: I.V. Accioly and W.F. Molina
Fishes from the families Sciaenidae and Sparidae, the former comprising coastal species associated with shallow waters on the continental shelf and the latter composed of typically marine species, are of significant economic value. Karyotypic data are available for about 20% of the total number of species in these groups. In t.. Read More»

Primed in situ labeling for detecting single-copy genes
Authors: J.-L. Gao, Y. Nie and X.-P. Ding
In order to analyze male sterility caused by deletion of SRY and DAZ, we examined the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of a modified primed in situ labeling (PRINS) technique for detection of single-copy genes. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 50 healthy men; medium-term cultured lymphocytes from these samples were .. Read More»

Robertsonian rearrangements and pericentric inversions in Scaridae fish (Perciformes)
Authors: D.C.S. Sena and W.F. Molina
The parrotfishes (family Scaridae) are comprised of the subfamilies Sparisomatinae and Scarinae. They are important agents of marine bioerosion, which rework the substrate with their beaklike jaws. Despite their importance, there are no published cytogenetic data on this group. We made cytogenetic analyses of Sparisoma axillar.. Read More»

Subtelomeric region of chromosome 2 in patients with autism spectrum disorders
Authors: A. Barbosa-Gon�§alves, C.B. Vendrame-Goloni, A.L.B. Martins and A.C. Fett-Conte
Autism spectrum disorders are severe psychiatric diseases commonly identified in the population. They are diagnosed during childhood and the etiology has been much debated due to their variations and complexity. Onset is early and characterized as communication and social interaction disorders and as repetitive and stereotyped.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for the Korean rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli
Authors: C.-C. Bai, S.-F. Liu, Z.-M. Zhuang, L. Lin, H. Wang and Y.-Q. Chang
The Korean rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) is an important commercial fish that is widely used in aquaculture. We isolated and characterized 18 polymorphic microsatellite loci from the Korean rockfish using a (GT)13-enriched genomic library. Polymorphism was assessed in 48 individuals from a single population collected from the .. Read More»

Genetic variability in three populations of Hypostomus hermanni (Teleostei: Loricariidae) found in the basins of IvaÃ? River, TietÃ?ª River, and SapucaÃ?Â-Mirim River of Brazil
Authors: R.S. Vieira and E. Renesto
The genetic variability in three populations of Hypostomus hermanni from the tributaries of the rivers Ivaí (Keller), Tietê (Piracicaba), and Sapucaí (Sapucaí-Mirim) was determined using electrophoresis on starch gel. The variability in the genes for eight enzymes, namely, aspartate aminotransferase .. Read More»

Human chorionic gonadotropin promotes expression of protein absorption factors in the intestine of goldfish (Carassius auratus)
Authors: Y. Zhou, G. Hao, H. Zhong, Q. Wu, S.Q. Lu, Q. Zhao and Z. Liu
Protein use is crucial for the ovulation and spawning of fish. Currently, limited information is available regarding the expression of protein absorption factors during the breeding seasons of teleosts and thus how various proteins involved in this process is not well-understood. The expression of CDX2, CREB, gluatamate dehydrogenase, LAT2, aminopeptidase.. Read More»
