Karyotype characterization reveals active 45S rDNA sites located on chromosome termini in Smilax rufescens (Smilacaceae)
Authors: D. Pizzaia, V.M. Oliveira, A.R. Martins, B. Appezzato-da-Gl�³ria, E. Forni-Martins and M.L.R. Aguiar-Perecin
The genus Smilax (Smilacaceae) includes species of medicinal interest; consequently, their identification is important for the control of raw material used in the manufacture of phytotherapeutic products. We investigated the karyotype of Smilax rufescens in order to look for patterns that would be useful for comparative studies of this genus. To accomplis.. 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»

New polymorphic microsatellite loci of threadsail filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer (Teleostei, Monacanthidae), from Korean waters
Authors: C.-M. An, H.S. An, J.W. Lee and S.W. Hong
The threadsail filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer (Monacanthidae), is found mainly in the western Pacific. It is intensively caught in Korea and is a highly appreciated seafood delicacy. Consequently, the natural population of this species has drastically decreased, despite introductions from hatcheries. To provide information necessary for its conservatio.. Read More»

Genetic and morphological diversity of Moenkhausia oligolepis (Characiformes: Characidae) populations in the tributaries of the Araguaia River, Brazil: implications for taxonomy and conservation
Authors: T.J. Domingos, L.N. Moraes, R.M. Moresco, V.P. Margarido and P.C. Venere
Molecular genetic assessments that consider ecological information, in addition to endogamy levels, genetic diversity, and the genetic differentiation among species and populations, are particularly important for the conservation of biological diversity. Prime candidates for conservation genetic review are those subject to hum.. Read More»

Multi-modulus algorithm based on global artificial fish swarm intelligent optimization of DNA encoding sequences
Authors: Y.C. Guo, H. Wang, H.P. Wu and M.Q. Zhang
Aimed to address the defects of the large mean square error (MSE), and the slow convergence speed in equalizing the multi-modulus signals of the constant modulus algorithm (CMA), a multi-modulus algorithm (MMA) based on global artificial fish swarm (GAFS) intelligent optimization of DNA encoding sequences (GAFS-DNA-MMA) was proposed. To improve the conver.. Read More»

Bayesian GGE biplot models applied to maize multi-environments trials
Authors: L.A. de Oliveira, C.P. da Silva, J.J. Nuvunga, A.Q. da Silva and M. Balestre
The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and the genotype main effects and genotype x environment interaction (GGE) models stand out among the linear-bilinear models used in genotype x environment interaction studies. Despite the advantages of their use to describe genotype x environment (AMMI) or genoty.. Read More»

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Southern catfish (Silurus meridionalis Chen) and Chinese catfish (S. asotus Linnaeus): Structure, phylogeny, and intraspecific variation
Authors: Q.R. Wang, C. Xu, C.R. Xu and R.J. Wang
The complete mitochondrial genome of the Southern catfish (Silurus meridionalis) and the Chinese catfish (S. asotus), was determined using the long and accurate polymerase chain reaction (LA-PCR) method. The mitochondrial DNA nucleotide sequences of S. meridionalis and S. asotus were compared with those of 47 other catfish species in the same order. The t.. Read More»

Genetic analysis of five sedentary fish species in middle Laranjinha River (upper Paran�¡ River basin): A case study
Authors: W. Frantine-Silva, D.G. Ferreira, R.H.C. Nascimento, J.F. Fracasso, J.E. Conte, F.P. Ramos, S. Carvalho and B.A. Galindo
Most studies of diversity and genetic structure in neotropical fish have focused on commercial species from large rivers or their reservoirs. However, smaller tributaries have been identified as an important alternative migratory route, with independent pools of genetic diversity. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate genetic diversity and .. Read More»

Applying the Fisher score to identify Alzheimer�s disease-related genes
Authors: J. Yang, Y.L. Liu, C.S. Feng and G.Q. Zhu
Biologists and scientists can use the data from Alzheimer's disease (AD) gene expression microarrays to mine AD disease-related genes. Because of disadvantages such as small sample sizes, high dimensionality, and a high level of noise, it is difficult to obtain accurate and meaningful biological information from gene expressio..
