Authors: H.R. Ning, J.L.Wang, S.Y. Qin, S.Y. Huang, Z.L. Lou, L.Y. Hu and X.Q. Zhu
Toxoplasma gondii, an opportunistic protozoan parasite, infects almost all warm-blooded animals. In this study, we examined the sequence variation in rhoptry protein 20 (ROP20) genes among 18 T. gondii isolates collected from different hosts and geographical regions. Full length ROP20 genes were amplified and sequenced. The results showed that the genes w.. Read More»

Effects of the antipsoriatic drug dithranol on E2A and caspase-9 gene expression in vitro
Authors: C. Ronpirin and T. Tencomnao
Although the precise causes of psoriasis remain to be elucidated, psoriasis has been known as a disorder in which factors in the immune system, enzymes and other biochemical substances that regulate skin cell division are functionally imbalanced, thereby resulting in rapid proliferation of keratinocytes and incomplete keratini..

Comparison of efficiency of distance measurement methodologies in mango (Mangifera indica) progenies based on physicochemical descriptors
Authors: E.O.S. Alves, C.B.M. Cerqueira-Silva, A.M. Souza, C.A.F. Santos, F.P. Lima Neto and R.X. Corr�?ªa
We investigated seven distance measures in a set of observations of physicochemical variables of mango (Mangifera indica) submitted to multivariate analyses (distance, projection and grouping). To estimate the distance measurements, five mango progeny (total of 25 genotypes) were analyzed, using six fruit physicochemical descr.. Read More»

RT-qPCR assay on the vitamin D receptor gene in type 2 diabetes and hypertension patients in Turkey
Authors: H.C. Vural1 and E. Maltas
RT-qPCR was used to analyze the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene TaqI polymorphism in 100 Turkish patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension compared with 100 healthy subjects, to determine whether VDR could be considered as one of the susceptibility genes for T2DM and hypertension. Genotyping was done with PC.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Brazilian and introduced olive germplasms based on microsatellite markers
Authors: A.D.B. do Val, J.L. Ferreira, J. Vieira Neto, M. Pasqual, A.F. de Oliveira, A. Bor�?©m and G.M.A. Can�?§ado
Olive trees have been grown since the beginning of civilization, and the consumption of olives and olive products is increasing worldwide, due to their health benefits and organoleptic qualities. To meet the growing market for olives, commercial cultivation of this species is expanding from traditional areas to new regions. Al.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of novel polymorphic microsatellite loci in Atrina vexillum Born (Pinnidae)
Authors: Y.S. Huang, Q.H. Li, Z.B. Li, J.B. Shangguan, Y.F. Ning and G. Dai
The pen shell, Atrina vexillum Born, is an edible shellfish that is widely consumed in the Asia-Pacific region. In this study, 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from A. vexillum, and 30 wild individuals were used to evaluate the degree of polymorphism of these markers. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 8. The polymorphism inf.. Read More»

Physical localization of molecular markers and assignment of the 15th linkage group to chromosome 11 of the karyotype in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) by primed in situ labeling
Authors: Y. Wang, J.F. Wang, H. Yin, H.Q. Gao, N.S. Zhuang and J.P. Liu
Physical localization of molecular markers and assignment of the 15th linkage group to chromosome 11 of the karyotype in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) were achieved using primed in situ labeling. Amplified signals for both the EST507-1 and SSRY13-5 markers were consistently observed in different stages of cell division. A comparison of the length, ar.. Read More»

Authors: L. Yang, X.Y. Wang, Y.T. Li, H.L. Wang, T. Wu, B. Wang, Q. Zhao, D. Jinsihan and L.P. Zhu
In this study, the relationship between CYP19 gene polymorphisms and breast cancer in Xinjiang Uigur women was investigated. A case-control study was designed to compare 112 Uigur breast cancer patients with 139 Uigur healthy controls. Individuals were genotyped for the CYP19 rs10046 polymorphism using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length.. Read More»

Interleukin-6 gene -174G>C polymorphism and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk: a meta-analysis
Authors: X.M. Xie, R. Ke, Y.H. Zhang, G.Z. Wang, Y.T. Zhu, T. Hussian, L. Yang and M.X. Li
Association studies of interleukin-6 (IL-6) -174G>C polymorphism and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have yielded inconsistent results, possibly because single studies often lack sufficient statistical power. A comprehensive search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, Elsevier, Web of Science databases, Wanfang, and the Chinese National Kn.. Read More»
