Authors: A.L. Ndoye, O. Sadio and D. Diouf
The genetic variation of 70 individual samples of Casuarina equisetifolia (L. Johnson) subsp equisetifolia and C. equisetifolia subsp incana growing along the northern coast of Senegal was analyzed with RAPD markers. Of the 160 primers tested, five were chosen; they generated 1396 reproducible bands and 61 polymorphic bands th.. Read More»

Simple sequence repeat-based analysis of the genetic diversity and population genetic structure of populations of Siniperca chuatsi
Authors: C.F. Sun, X. Ye, Y.Y. Tian and J.J. Dong
In order to provide genetic information for the selective breeding of Siniperca chuatsi, 14 microsatellite DNA loci were used to evaluate the genetic diversity and structure of four farmed populations and one wild population in China. The four cultivated populations were Foshan (FS), Jiangmen (JM), Nanjing (NJ), and Hongze Lake (HZL), and the wild populat.. Read More»

Frequency of SNP -336A/G in the promoter region of CD209 in a population from northeastern Brazil
Authors: P.N. Costa, H. Ferreira-Fernandes, J.S. de Oliveira, A.C.T.C. Pereira, G.R. Pinto and G.P. Ferreira
Dendritic cells (DCs) mediate the initiation of the immune response against a variety of pathogens. The DC-SIGN receptor is encoded by the gene CD209 and is expressed on the surface of DCs. It binds to mannose-rich carbohydrates and enables the recognition of bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. SNP -336A/G in the promoter region of CD209 influences t.. Read More»

Population genetic structure of Myzus persicae nicotianae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in China by microsatellite analysis
Authors: C. Zhao, X.M. Yang, S.H. Tang, P.J. Xu, W.J. Bian, X.F. Wang, X.W. Wang and G.W. Ren
The tobacco aphid, Myzus persicae nicotianae (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is an important agricultural pest that feeds on host plants and transmits plant viruses in China. To effectively control this pest, we investigated the genetic variation and genetic structure of 54 populations of tobacco aphids collected in China, using five microsatellite loci. An avera..

Investigation of ABCB1 gene polymorphism with colchicine response in Beh�§etâ��s disease
Authors: H. Saricaoglu, M. Yilmaz, M. Karkucak, H.Z.Y. Ozturk, T. Yakut, T. Gulten, E.B. Baskan, K. Aydogan and K. Dilek
Colchicine is commonly used in the treatment of Behçet’s disease. However, some patients are unresponsive to colchicine treatment. Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) transports colchicine out of cells. We investigated a possible association of C3435T polymorphism of the ABCB1 (MDR.. Read More»

Analysis of HLA-DQB1 allele polymorphisms in Uyghur women with cervical cancer
Authors: L. Han, S. Husaiyin, L. Wang, K.D. Wusainahong, X. Fu and M. Niyazi
In Uyghur women, mortality rates from cervical cancer are amongst the highest in the nation, and genetic susceptibility probably plays a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. We investigated the correlation between polymorphisms of the HLA-DQB1 allele and cervical cancer in Xinjiang Uyghur women. Cervix tissue samples from 80 cases of cervical cancer a.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in local and commercial dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) accessions based on microsatellite markers
Authors: P.D.S. Cabral, T.C.B. Soares, A.B.P. Lima, F.D. de Miranda, F.B. Souza and L.S.A. Gon�§alves
Dry beans are considered to be a crop of great socio-economic importance, because they are an inexpensive source of nutrients and because their cultivation requires considerable manual labor. Studies of genetic diversity have been very important for genetic improvement programs, because they give parameters for the identificat.. Read More»

cDNA, genomic sequence cloning and overexpression of the ribosomal protein S13 gene in the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)
Authors: Y. Song, Y.-L. Hou, W.-R. Hou, G.-F. Wu and T. Zhang
The cDNA and the genomic sequence of ribosomal protein S13 (RPS13) of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) was cloned using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and touchdown-PCR, respectively. These two sequences were sequenced and analyzed, and the cDNA of the RPS13 gene was overexpressed in Escherich.. Read More»

Estimating the genetic parameters for liver fat traits in broiler lines divergently selected for abdominal fat
Authors: M.J. Liang, Z.P. Wang, L. Xu, L. Leng1, S.Z. Wang, P. Luan, Z.P. Cao, Y.M. Li and H. Li
Intensive selection of broilers for improved growth rate is known to exert a negative effect on broiler health, such as an increase in body fat (and its related diseases). Excessive fat deposition in the liver can cause fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS); in addition, traits associated with liver fat have also been associated with FLHS. This study ex.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and differentiation in Dalbergia sissoo (Fabaceae) as revealed by RAPD
Authors: B.-Y. Wang, L. Shi, Z.-Y. Ruan and J. Deng
Dalbergia sissoo, a wind-dispersed tropical tree, is one of the most preferred timber tree species of South Asia. Genetic diversity and differentiation among natural populations of D. sissoo were examined for the first time. We found a relatively high level of genetic diversity in D. sissoo, both at the species level (percenta.. Read More»
