Authors: T.Y. Lee, M.I. Lai, P. Ismail, V. Ramachandran, J.A.M.A. Tan, L.K. Teh,R. Othman, N.H. Hussein and E. George
Hemoglobin (Hb) Adana [HBA2: c179G>A (or HBA1); p.Gly60Asp] is a non-deletional α-thalassemia variant found in Malaysia. An improvement in the molecular techniques in recent years has made identification of Hb Adana much easier. For this study, a total of 26 Hb Adana α-thalassemia intermedia and 10 Hb Adana trai..

NF1 frameshift mutation (c.6520_6523delGAGA) association with nervous system tumors and bone abnormalities in a Chinese patient with neurofibromatosis type 1
Authors: S.Y. Su, X. Zhou, X.M. Pang, C.Y. Chen, S.H. Li and J.L. Liu
Neurofibromatosis type 1, also known as NF1 or von Recklinghausen’s disease, is a common neurocutaneous syndrome that presents with multiple café-au-lait patches, skinfold freckling, dermatofibromas, neurofibromas, and Lisch nodules. The mutations of the gene NF1, encoding the protein neurofibromin, have been iden.. Read More»

Description of the diploid chromosome set of Triatoma pintodiasi (Hemiptera, Triatominae)
Authors: K.C.C. Alevi, F.F.F. Moreira, J. Jurberg and M.T.V. Azeredo-Oliveira
Triatoma pintodiasi has been described and recently grouped in the Rubrovaria subcomplex. T. pintodiasi was initially compared to T. carcavalloi by staining and subsequently identified as T. circummaculata. However, after thorough examination, it was observed to be a cryptic species of T. circummaculata, and was described base.. Read More»

Characterization of grass carp spleen transcriptome during GCRV infection
Authors: B.H. Xu, L. Zhong, Q.L. Liu, T.Y. Xiao, J.M. Su, K.J. Chen, H.Q. Wang, Y.J. Dai and J. Chen
The aim of the study was to investigate the grass carp hemorrhagic infection pathway and its key-related genes. Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) might cause hemorrhagic disease in grass carps. Healthy grass carp fingerlings (N = 60) were divided into control and infected groups. Fish in the control group were intraperitoneally (ip) .. Read More»

Genetic analysis of longitudinal data in beef cattle: a review
Authors: S.E. Speidel, R.M. Enns and D.H. Crews Jr.
Currently, many different data types are collected by beef cattle breed associations for the purpose of genetic evaluation. These data points are all biological characteristics of individual animals that can be measured multiple times over an animal’s lifetime. Some traits can only be measured once on an individual anima.. Read More»

Molecular characterization and expression analysis of the �²-actin gene from the ridgetail white prawn Exopalaemon carinicauda
Authors: J.P. Liang, Y. Wang, Q.Q. Ge, J.T. Li, P. Liu, J. Li and G.X. Nie
Actin is a highly conserved protein that is found in all eukaryotic cells, and has been widely used as an internal control gene in gene expression studies. In this study, we cloned an actin gene (named Ecβ-actin) from Exopalaemon carinicauda and determined its expression levels. The full-length cDNA of Ecβ-actin was .. Read More»

Genetic control of agronomically important traits of pepper fruits analyzed by Hayman�s partial diallel cross scheme
Authors: A.R. Schuelter, G.M. Pereira, A.T. Amaral J�ºnior, V.W.D. Casali, C.A. Scapim, W.S. Barros and F.L. Finger
Pepper species of the genus Capsicum have been cultivated over centuries, producing both pungent and sweet fruit; the pungency is caused by alkaloids called capsaicinoids. Among the five cultivated species, Capsicum chinense is one of the most popular, being native to the Amazon basin. This species is characterized by a wide variety of fruit sizes, shapes an..

Compatibility of interspecific Manihot crosses presaged by protein electrophoresis
Authors: N.M.A. Nassar, N. Bomfim, A. Chaib, L.F.A. Abreu and P.T.C. Gomes
Cross incompatibility of wild Manihot species with cassava (M. esculenta) can impede their utilization for improving this cultigen. We tested whether compatibility could be determined based on electrophoresis results. Manihot pilosa, M. glaziovii, M. reptans, and M. cearulescens were tested. These species were allowed to hybri..

Relationship between TLR4 and MCP2 expression levels and habitual abortion
Authors: X.P. Li, L.N. Song, L.P. Tian and Y.S. Zhang
Habitual abortion is associated with the altered expression of multiple genes. This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and monocyte chemotactic protein 2 (MCP2 or CCL8) and habitual abortion. This was done by detecting and comparing their relative expression .. Read More»
