Authors: Y.H. Lee and G.G. Song
The purpose of this study was to identify differentially expressed (DE) genes and biological processes associated with changes in gene expression in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We performed a metaanalysis using the integrative meta-analysis of expression data program on publicly available microarray AS Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. We performed.. Read More»

Transgene elimination in genetically modified dry bean and soybean lines
Authors: Eduardo Romano, Alexandre Soares, Karina Proite, Suzana Neiva, MaÃ?Âra Grossi, Josias C. Faria, ElÃ?Âbio L. Rech and Francisco J.L. AragÃ?£o
Transgene elimination is a poorly studied phenomenon in plants. We made genetic and molecular studies of a transgenic dry bean line immune to bean golden mosaic geminivirus and a soybean line. In both lines, the transgenes were stable during the vegetative phase but were eliminated during meiosis. Due to its potential biotechn.. Read More»

Polymorphic microsatellite loci isolated from the yellowbelly threadfin bream, Nemipterus bathybius
Authors: X.L. Kong, Z.Z. Chen, L. Lin, C.H. Li, S.N. Xu and Y. Liu
Twenty-two polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from a (GT)13-enriched Nemipterus bathybius genomic library. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 13, with an average of 7.86. The observed and expected heterozygosity was 0.167-0.889 and 0.278-0.904, respectively, with averages of .. Read More»

Development of novel polymorphic microsatellite markers in Siganus fuscescens
Authors: X.Q. Mao, Z.B. Li, Y.F. Ning, J.B. Shangguan, Y. Yuan Y.S. Huang and B.B. Li
Rabbitfish, Siganus fuscescens, is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific regions and eastern Mediterranean. Its dwelling place includes reef flats, coral reef regions, and seagrass meadows in tropical area and reef areas or shallow waters in locations at high latitudes. In the present study, 10 new polymorphic microsatellite markers were screened from 30.. Read More»

Genome-wide analysis of the maize (Zea may L.) CPP-like gene family and expression profiling under abiotic stress
Authors: X.Y. Song, Y.Y. Zhang, F.C. Wu and L. Zhang
Cysteine-rich polycomb-like (CPP) proteins are members of a small family of transcription factors, which have been identified and characterized in Arabidopsis, rice, and soybean. In this study, we investigated CPP-like genes in the maize genome. The results revealed 13 putative CPP-like genes, which were found to encode 17 distinct transcripts and were di.. Read More»

Identification of microsatellite markers in coffee associated with resistance to Meloidogyne exigua
Authors: T.B. Pereira, T.A. Setotaw, D.N. Santos, A.N.G. Mendes, S.M.L. Salgado, G.R. Carvalho and R.M. Rezende
Meloidogyne species are destructive phytonematodes that result in reduced yields of coffee. The classic test for resistance to Meloidogyne exigua in coffee progenies is both expensive and time-consuming. The use of molecular marker techniques can assist the selection process when it is difficult to measure the phenotype, such as in cases of resistance to .. Read More»

Expression profiles of genes associated with mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and their roles in liver regeneration
Authors: X.K. Xing, M.H. Li, Z.W. Guo and C.S. Xu
Mitochondria are closely associated with cell survival, and it is of interest to determine whether apoptosis pathways, which are mediated by mitochondria, are involved in liver regeneration (LR). To identify the mechanisms underlying mitochondria-mediated apoptosis during rat LR, we used the Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array to investigate changes in gene expressi.. Read More»

Morphoagronomic characterization and genetic diversity of a common bean RIL mapping population derived from the cross Rud�¡ x AND 277
Authors: L.C. Silva, R.O. Batista, R.S.R. Anjos, M.H. Souza, P.C.S. Carneiro, T.L.P.O. Souza, E.G. Barros and J.E.S. Carneiro
Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) are a valuable resource for building genetic linkage maps. The presence of genetic variability in the RILs is essential for detecting associations between molecular markers and loci controlling agronomic traits of interest. The main goal of this study was to quantify the genetic diversity of a common beanRIL population deri.. Read More»

The 341C/T polymorphism in the GSTP1 gene and lung cancer risk: a meta-analysis
Authors: F. Yan, R. Wang and L. Geng
Numerous studies have evaluated the association between the 341C/T polymorphism in glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) and lung cancer risk. However, there are conflicting results from previous studies. To derive a more precise estimation of the association, we conducted this meta-analysis. A comprehensive search was conducted to identify the eligible st.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity and population structure in a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) germplasm collection based on single nucleotide polymorphism markers
Authors: T. Wang, Q.D. Zou, S.Y. Qi, X.F. Wang, Y.Y. Wu, N. Liu, Y.M. Zhang, Z.J. Zhang and H.T. Li
Knowledge of genetic diversity is important to assist breeders in the selection of parental materials and in the design of breeding programs. In this study, we genotyped 348 inbred tomato lines, representing vintage and contemporary fresh-market varieties, by using 52 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs); 45 of these were found to be polymorphic. The av.. Read More»
