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»

Development of polymorphic microsatellites for Sillago sihama based on next-generation sequencing and transferability to Sillago japonica
Authors: R.X. Wu, H.R. Zhang, S.F. Niu, Y. Zhai and X.F. Liu
Sillago sihama (Forsskål, 1775), a commercially important marine fishery species in the Indo-West Pacific, is being developed as a target species for aquaculture and stock enhancement in China. However, due to the limitations of traditional isolation methods, the available microsatellite loci, or simple sequence repeats .. Read More»

Polymorphisms of three new microsatellite sites of the dystrophin gene
Authors: R.F. Sun, Y.S. Zhu, J.L. Feng, Z. Tian, W.J. Kuang, Y. Liu, H.B. Zhang and S.B. Li
To look for novel microsatellites in the dystrophin gene for the diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, candidate microsatellite sites in the dystrophin gene were analyzed with the SSRHunter software and were also genotyped. Among the 15 candidate microsatellite sites, three novel microsatellite sites in the 60th, 30th, and.. Read More»

Chromosomal characteristics and karyotype evolution of Oxyopidae spiders (Araneae, Entelegynae)
Authors: L.M. St�¡vale, M.C. Schneider, A.D. Brescovit and D.M. Cella
We made a cytogenetic analysis of four species of Oxyopidae and compared it with the karyotype data of all species of this family. In Hamataliwa sp, the mitotic cells showed 2nâÃ?Â?Ã?Â? = 26+X1X2 and telocentric chromosomes. The 2nâÃ?Â?Ã?Â? = 28, which has been described for only one oxyopid spider, is the highest .. Read More»

Lack of association between Gly82Ser, 1704G/T and 2184A/G of RAGE gene polymorphisms and retinopathy susceptibility in Malaysian diabetic patients
Authors: Z.X. Ng, U.R. Kuppusamy, R. Poh, I. Tajunisah, A.C.A. Koay, K.C.S. Fong and K.H. Chua
Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease, occurring in about 60% of type 2 diabetic patients. Other than known clinical risk factors, the influence of genes has been suggested as part of the development of diabetic retinopathy. We investigated the association of Gly82Ser, 1704G/T and 2184A/G polymorphisms i.. Read More»

Frequency of the Val1016Ile mutation on the kdr gene in Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in south Brazil
Authors: M.L. Collet, C. Frizzo, E. Orlandin, L.D.P. Rona, J.C. Nascimento, M.A.E. Montano, G.A. M�¼ller and G. Wagner
Recently, the number of Aedes aegypti foci has increased in west of Santa Catarina, south Brazil, which has increased concern regarding mosquito-borne disease outbreaks such as dengue fever, Zika virus, and chikungunya. Therefore, it is important to monitor genetic resistance to insecticides through “knockdown resistance.. Read More»

Differential expression of genes involved in entomopathogenicity of the fungi Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae and M. anisopliae var. acridum (Clavicipitaceae)
Authors: M.P. Carneiro-Le�£o, F.D. Andreote, W.L. Ara�ºjo and N.T. Oliveira
Expression analysis of the genes involved in germination, conidiogenisis and pathogenesis of Metarhizium anisopliae during its saprophytic and pathogenic life stages can help plan strategies to increase its efficacy as a biological control agent. We quantified relative expression levels of the nitrogen response regulator gene .. Read More»

Modulation of expressivity in PDGFRB-related infantile myofibromatosis: a role for PTPRG?
Authors: N.D. Linhares, M.C.M. Freire, R.G.C.C.L. Cardenas, M. Bahia, E. Puzenat, F. Aubin and S.D.J. Pena
Infantile myofibromatosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the development of benign tumors in the skin, muscle, bone, and viscera. The molecular pathogenesis is still incompletely known. An autosomal dominant form had been reported as causally related with mutations in the gene for platelet-derived growth factor re.. Read More»

Microsatellite loci and genetic structure of artificial populations of Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera, Braconidae)
Authors: L.O.S. Anjos, R.F. Peixoto Jr, D.M.S. Chanquinie, L.R. Pinto,S.A. Creste, L.L. Dinardo-Miranda, M.G.A. Landell, E.V. Tambarussi and R. Vencovsky
Cotesia flavipes (Cameron) is a parasitoid wasp used in the biological control of the sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis) (Fabr., 1794). Studies on the genetic diversity of C. flavipes are hampered by the lack of highly polymorphic molecular markers. In this report, a set of 11 microsatellite loci were developed from an enr..
