Authors: C.B.M. Cerqueira-Silva, C.B. Cardoso-Silva, E.S.L. Santos, L.D.H.C.S. Concei�§�£o, A.S. Pereira, A.C. Oliveira and R.X. Corr�ªa
In spite of the importance of and the considerable variability observed in Passiflora (Passifloraceae), little is known about the genetic diversity of most of the species of this genus. We evaluated the genetic diversity by RAPD markers in 18 genotypes of Passiflora trintae. The 15 primers generated 112 markers, 84% of which w.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of Capparis spinosa L. populations by using ISSR markers
Authors: C. Liu, G.P. Xue, B. Cheng, X. Wang, J. He, G.H. Liu and W.J. Yang
Capparis spinosa L. is an important medicinal species in the Xinjiang Province of China. Ten natural populations of C. spinosa from 3 locations in North, Central, and South Xinjiang were studied using morphological trait inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) molecular markers to assess the genetic diversity and population structure. In this study, the 10 IS.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of heat tolerant tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) genotypes by SRAP and RAPD markers
Authors: N. Comlekcioglu, O. Simsek, M. Boncuk and Y. Aka-Kacar
We employed RAPD and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers to evaluate polymorphisms in 15 tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) genotypes that were obtained from a tomato breeding program. Four local tomato genotypes selected from the Sanliurfa province (Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey), 10 heat-tolerant tomat.. Read More»

Up-regulation of Id1 in peripheral blood of psoriatic patients
Authors: C. Ronpirin, M. Achariyakul, T. Tencomnao, J. Wongpiyabovorn and W. Chaicumpa
Although the precise causes of psoriasis are unclear, it is widely accepted that psoriasis is a disorder in which factors in the immune system, enzymes, and other biochemical substances that regulate skin cell division are impaired, leading to rapid proliferation of keratinocytes and incomplete keratinization. Expression of th.. Read More»

Genetic differences based on AFLP markers in the mosquito species Anopheles darlingi collected in versus near houses in the region of Porto Velho, RO, Brazil
Authors: L.M. Santos, R.A. Gama, A.E. Eiras and C.G. Fonseca
Anopheles darlingi is the most important malaria vector in Central and South America. After a dramatic reduction of malaria cases in the whole Brazilian territory, with the lowest abundance being attained by 1970, the disease resurged in the Amazon region, where it is now a great public health concern. Consequently, better kno.. Read More»

Comparison of similarity coefficients used for cluster analysis based on RAPD markers in wild olives
Authors: M. Sesli and E.D. Yegenoglu
Five different similarity coefficients (Jaccard, Sorensen-Dice, simple matching, Rogers and Tanimoto, and Russel and Rao) were evaluated and 10 wild olives analyzed with RAPD markers. The influence of the similarity coefficients on wild olives clustering was investigated. Forty-five primers were used on samples from 10 wild ol.. Read More»

Biosom: gene synonym analysis by self-organizing map
Authors: K.R. Otemaier, M.B.R. Steffens, R.T. Raittz, A. Brawerman and J.N. Marchaukoski
There are several guidelines for gene nomenclature, but they are not always applied to the names of newly identified genes. The lack of standardization in naming genes generates inconsistent databases with errors such as genes with the same function and different names, genes with different functions and the same name, and use of an abbreviated name. This.. Read More»

Variable number of tandem repeat markers in the genome sequence of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana (Musa spp)
Authors: S.A.L. Garcia*, T.A.J. Van der Lee*, C.F. Ferreira*, B. Te Lintel Hekkert, M.-F. Zapater, S.B. Goodwin, M. Guzm�¡n, G.H.J. Kema and M.T. Souza Jr.
We searched the genome of Mycosphaerella fijiensis for molecular markers that would allow population genetics analysis of this plant pathogen. M. fijiensis, the causal agent of banana leaf streak disease, also known as black Sigatoka, is the most devastating pathogen attacking bananas (Musa spp). Recently, the entire genome se.. Read More»

Prostate cancer cells were transfected with plasmids [empty plasmids, wild-type pcDNA3.1-p53 (V/V), mutant type pcDNA3.1- p53 (G/G)] to analyze the effect of p53 gene polymorphisms on the proliferation, cycle, and apoptosis of prostatic cancer cells. Empty plasmids containing wild-type pcDNA3.1-p53 (V/V) and mutant type pcDNA3.. Read More»

Screening of crucial long non-coding RNAs in oral epithelial dysplasia by serial analysis of gene expression
Authors: X. Han, Y.B. Wei, G. Tian, Z. Tang, J.Y. Gao and X.G. Xu
Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a premalignant lesion of the oral mucosa. Considering the poor 5-year survival rate of oral cancer, further investigation is needed in order to determine the pathogenesis of OED. In the present study, serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) data from patients with OED were compared to norma.. Read More»
