Role of MTHFR C677T and MTR A2756G polymorphisms in thyroid and breast cancer development
Authors: T. Zara-Lopes, A.P.A. Gimenez-Martins, C.H.V. Nascimento-Filho, M.M.U. Castanhole-Nunes, A.L.S. Galbiatti-Dias, J.A. Padovani-J�ºnior, J.V. Maniglia, J.L.E. Francisco, E.C. Pavarino and E.M. Goloni-Bertollo
Folate metabolism is essential for DNA synthesis and repair. Alterations in genes that participate in folate metabolism can be associated with several types of malignant neoplasms, including thyroid and breast cancer. In the present case-control study, we examined the association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MT.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and population structure of Castanopsis eyrei based on simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: L.H. Mao, X.L. Zhou and Y.M. Fang
Castanopsis eyrei (Fagaceae) is one of the dominant tree species in mid-subtropical, evergreen, broad-leaved forests. We obtained 14 pairs of simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers from previous studies, which were used to analyze 90 C. eyrei individuals from three populations at different altitudes. Low heterozygosity was detec.. Read More»

Acrocomia emensis (Arecaceae) genetic structure and diversity using SSR molecular markers
Authors: D.S. Neiva, A.F. Melo J�ºnior, D.A. Oliveira, V.A. Royo, M.M. Brand�£o and E.V. Menezes
Acrocomia emensis, popularly known as the creeping tucum, belongs to the family Arecaceae, and is an oilseed specie of the Brazilian Savannah. The expansion of agricultural activity has rapidly destroyed its natural habitat, leading to a decrease in its population size. Genetic studies can be used to investigate the genetic variability, and may assist wit.. Read More»

Milk fatty acid profile is modulated by DGAT1 and SCD1 genotypes in dairy cattle on pasture and strategic supplementation
Authors: A.M. Carvajal, P. Huircan, J.M. Dezamour, I. Subiabre1, B. Kerr, R. Morales and E.M. Ungerfeld
Milk fat composition is important to consumer health. During the last decade, some fatty acids (FA) have received attention because of their functional and beneficial effects on human health. The milk FA profile is affected by both diet and genetics. Differences in milk fat composition are based on biochemical pathways, and ca.. Read More»

Branches of the NF-�ºB signaling pathway regulate proliferation of oval cells in rat liver regeneration
Authors: W.M. Zhao, Y.L. Qin, Z.P. Niu, C.F. Chang, J. Yang, M.H. Li, Y. Zhou and C.S. Xu1,
The NF-kB (nuclear factor kB) pathway is involved in the proliferation of many cell types. To explore the mechanism of the NF-kB signaling pathway underlying the oval cell proliferation during rat liver regeneration, the Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array was used to detect expression changes of NF-kB signaling pathway-related genes in ..

Population structure of jatropha and its implication for the breeding program
Authors: D.N. Santos, J.L. Ferreira, M. Pasqual, A.L. Generoso3, T.A. Setotaw, G.M.A. Can�§ado and W.A. Vendrame
Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) has potential as an oilseed crop that requires the development of technology for its exploitation. The objective of this study was to assess the population structure and the genetic diversity in jatropha accessions at a global level using simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers. Jatropha accessions (N = 109) from 10 co.. Read More»

Assessment of genetic divergence among coffee genotypes by Ward-MLM procedure in association with mixed models
Authors: W.P. Rodrigues, H.D. Vieira, P.E. Teodoro F.L. Partelli and D.H.S.G. Barbosa
Mixed linear models have been used for the analysis of the genetic diversity and provided further accurate results in crops such as eucalyptus, castor, and sugarcane. However, to date, research that combined this analysis with Ward-MLM procedure has not been reported. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to identify div.. Read More»

Phylogenetic relationships among Octopodidae species in coastal waters of China inferred from two mitochondrial DNA gene sequences
Authors: Z.M. L�¼, W.T. Cui, L.Q. Liu, H.M. Li and C.W. Wu
Octopus in the family Octopodidae (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) has been generally recognized as a “catch-all” genus. The monophyly of octopus species in China’s coastal waters has not yet been studied. In this paper, we inferred the phylogeny of 11 octopus species (family Octopodidae) in China’s coastal waters using nucleotide sequences.. Read More»

Authors: B.B. Li,2, Z.B. Li1,, Y.F. Ning, J.B. Shangguan, Y.S. Huang, Y. Yuan and X.Q. Mao
Fenneropenaeus penicillatus is one of the major economic shrimp species in China. In this study, 14 novel microsatellite loci were developed using the fast isolation protocol with amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequences containing repeats (FIASCO). Polymorphisms were tested in 30 individuals from a single-wild population. The results showed th.. Read More»
