DNA-based identification of forensically important species of Sarcophagidae (Insecta: Diptera) from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Authors: K.S. Napole�£o, C.A. Mello-Patiu, J. Oliveira-Costa, D.M. Takiya,R. Silva and R.S. Moura-Neto
Sarcophagidae, or flesh flies, are of great importance in forensic entomology, but their effective application requires precise taxonomic identification, which relies almost exclusively on characteristics of the male genitalia. Given that female flies and larvae are most abundant in animal carcasses or on corpses, precise morp.. Read More»

Acrocomia aculeata prevents toxicogenetic damage caused by the antitumor agent cyclophosphamide
Authors: M.F. Magosso, P.C. Carvalho, B.U.C. Shneider, L.R. Pessatto,J.R. Pesarini, P.V.B. Silva, W.A. Correa, C.A.L. Kassuya, R.M. Muzzi and R.J. Oliveira
Acrocomia aculeata is a plant rich in antioxidant compounds. Studies suggest that this plant has anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and diuretic potential. We assessed the antigenotoxic, antimutagenic, immunomodulation, and apoptotic potentials of A. aculeata alone and in combination with an antitumor agent, cyclophosphamide. Sw.. Read More»

Expression profiling of CEACAM6 associated with the tumorigenesis and progression in gastric adenocarcinoma
Authors: X. Deng, P. Liu, Y. Zhao and Q. Wang
Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cellular adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM6) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and has been recently reported to affect the neoplastic, metastatic, and invasive ability of malignant cells by regulating intracellular signaling pathways during tumorigenesis and progression. We investigated .. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Mycosphaerella fijiensis in Brazil analyzed using an ERIC-PCR marker
Authors: G.F. Silva, R.D.V. Paix�£o, C.B. Queiroz, M.F. Santana, A. Souza, N.R. Sousa, R.E. Hanada and L. Gasparotto
The Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) marker was used to analyze the genetic variability of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causative agent of Black Sigatoka disease in banana plants. A total of 123 isolates were used, which were divided into populations based on their original hosts and collection .. Read More»

Molecular identification and genetic variation of varieties of Styphnolobium japonicum (Fabaceae) using SRAP markers
Authors: R.X. Sun, C.H. Zhang, Y.Q. Zheng, Y.C. Zong, X.D. Yu and P. Huang
Thirty-four Styphnolobium japonicum varieties were analyzed using sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers, to investigate genetic variation and test the effectiveness of SRAP markers in DNA fingerprint establishment. Twelve primer pairs were selected from 120 primer combinations for their reproducibility and hig.. Read More»

Cloning and association analysis of KIT and EDNRB polymorphisms with dominant white coat color in the Chinese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides)
Authors: S.Q. Yan, C.Y. Bai, S.M. Qi, M.L. Li, S. Si, Y.M. Li and J.H. Sun
The Chinese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides) is one of the most important fur-bearing animal species. The dominant white individual, a coat color variant in farmed Chinese raccoon dog, shows a completely white phenotype over the entire body. The KIT and EDNRB genes have been reported to be associated with the dominant white coat color i.. Read More»
