Authors: P. Li S. Cao Y.L. Dai X.L. Li D.F. Xu M. Guo Y.M. Pan Z.M. Gao
Phytophthora capsici is a plant pathogenic oomycete that damages numerous crops worldwide. Consequently, interest in research on the genetic structure of this species has grown in recent decades. However, there is little information about P. capsici in eastern China. We investigated the genetic diversity of P. capsici isolates from three large regions of .. Read More»

Analysis of persistent changes to �³-aminobutyric acid receptor gene expression in Plutella xylostella subjected to sublethal amounts of spinosad
Authors: X.-H. Yin, Q.-J. Wu, Y.-J. Zhang, Y.-H. Long, X.-M. Wu, R.-Y. Li, M. Wang, X.-L. Tian and X.-G. Jiao
A multi-generational approach was used to investigate the persistent effects of a sub-lethal dose of spinosad in Plutella xylostella. The susceptibility of various sub-populations of P. xylostella to spinosad and the effects of the insecticide on the gene expression of γ-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAR) were determined. The results of a leaf dip b.. Read More»

A repetitive sequence assembler based on next-generation sequencing
Authors: S. Lian, Y. Tu, Y. Wang, X. Chen and L. Wang
Repetitive sequences of variable length are common in almost all eukaryotic genomes, and most of them are presumed to have important biomedical functions and can cause genomic instability. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies provide the possibility of identifying capturing these repetitive sequences directly from the NGS data. In this study, we .. Read More»

Protein-protein interaction network construction for cancer using a new L1/2-penalized Net-SVM model
Authors: H. Chai, H.H. Huang, H.K. Jiang, Y. Liang and L.Y. Xia
Identifying biomarker genes and characterizing interaction pathways with high-dimensional and low-sample size microarray data is a major challenge in computational biology. In this field, the construction of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks using disease-related selected genes has garnered much attention. Support vector machines (SVMs) are commo.. Read More»

Long-term effects of evodiamine on expressions of lipogenesis and lipolysis genes in mouse adipose and liver tissues
Authors: D.F. Jiang, W.T. Li2, H.L. Yang, Z.Z. Zhang, D. Chen and C. Sun
Evodiamine, the major alkaloid component isolated from the fruit of dried, unripened Evodia rutaecarpa Bentham, affects the plasma levels of cholecystokinin and various biological events such as gastric emptying and gastrointestinal transit; these effects of evodiamine were previously investigated in male rats. In this study, .. Read More»

Tumor necrosis factor receptor-II nt587 polymorphism in Chinese Han patients with ankylosing spondylitis
Authors: X. Li, M. Wang, R. Ma, T. Zhang, J. Liu, J.W. Chen and W. Peng
We aimed to explore the association between the onset of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and nt587 polymorphisms of the tumor necrosis factor receptor II (TNFRII) gene in the Han population of Hunan Province, China. Correlation analysis was performed in a case-control study involving 100 AS cases and 100 healthy controls. The nt58.. Read More»

Mutagenic potential of Cordia ecalyculata alone and in association with Spirulina maxima for their evaluation as candidate anti-obesity drugs
Authors: R.P. Araldi, B.M. Rechiutti, T.B. Mendes, E.T. Ito and E.B. Souza
Obesity is one of the most important nutritional disorders, and can be currently considered as an epidemic. Although there are few weight reduction drugs available on the market, some new drug candidates have been proposed, including Cordia ecalyculata, a Brazilian plant with anorectic properties, and Spirulina ma..

IFGFA: Identification of featured genes from genomic data using factor analysis
Authors: C.H. Fu, S. Deng, J.H. Wu, X.Q. Wu, Z.H. Fu and Z.G. Yu
In this study, a software tool (IFGFA) for identification of featured genes from gene expression data based on latent factor analysis was developed. Despite the availability of computational methods and statistical models appropriate for analyzing special genomic data, IFGFA provides a platform for predicting colon cancer-related genes and can be applied ..

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.
