Genotyping of urinary samples stored with EDTA for forensic applications
Authors: S.H. Zhang S.M. Zhao Z.M. Zhao C.T. Li
Individual identification of urinary samples is necessary when sample switching or handling are suspected during a judicial process. To improve the rate of successful genotyping of urinary samples, we examined the stability of DNA in urinary samples stored for up to 30 days. Urinary samples from 20 healthy individuals (10 males and 10 females) were stored.. Read More»

Characterization of novel nitrate reductase-deficient mutants for transgenic Dunaliella salina systems
Authors: L.J. Gao, Y.L. Jia, S.K. Li and L.L. Qiu
The aim of the present study was to isolate and characterize novel nitrate reductase (NR)-deficient mutants, which may be useful for the transgenic manipulation of Dunaliella salina. Three NR-deficient mutants of D. salina, J-1, J-2, and J-3, were successfully isolated by screening for chlorate resistance after chemical mutagenesis with ethylnitrosourea. .. Read More»

Relationship between Psidium species (Myrtaceae) by resistance gene analog markers: focus on nematode resistance
Authors: L.R. Noia, A.C. Tuler, A. Ferreira, M.F.S. Ferreira
Guava (Psidium guajava L.) crop is severely affected by the nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii. Native Psidium species have been reported as sources of resistance against this nematode. Knowledge on the molecular relationship between Psidium species based on plant resistance gene analogs (RGA) can be useful in the genetic breedi.. Read More»

Association between C807T(C/T) polymorphism of platelet glycoprotein gene and sensitivity to ischemic stroke: a meta-analysis
Authors: C. Luo, L.H. Fan, H. Zhang, J. Zhao, L. Li, L. Zhang, H.X. Zhang and M.M. Ma
Ischemic stroke can lead to loss of neurologic functions. It occurs due to obstruction in blood supply to the brain. It has been proposed that C807T(C/T) polymorphism within the platelet glycoprotein gene may be associated with density and function of glycoprotein Ia/IIa receptors and contributes to the pathogenesis of thrombo..

Genetic relationships among five varieties of Curcuma alismatifolia (Zingiberaceae) based on ISSR markers
Authors: S. Taheri T.L. Abdullah N.A.P. Abdullah Z. Ahmad
The genus Curcuma is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) that has recently become popular for use as flowering pot plants, both indoors and as patio and landscape plants. We used PCR-based molecular markers (ISSRs) to assess genetic variation and relationships between five varieties of curcuma (Curcuma alismatifolia) cultivated in Malaysia. Sixteen.. Read More»

Construction of the intermediate vector pVBG2307 by incorporating vital elements of expression vectors pBI121 and pBI221
Authors: S.S. Ahmed Z.-H. Gong J.-J. Ji Y.-X. Yin H.-J. Xiao M.A. Khan A. Rehman I. Ahmad
Molecular chaperones of plasmid pBI121 carrying CaMV35S promoter and a nucleotide sequence of plasmid pBI221 were inserted into plasmid pCAMBIA2300 to construct an intermediate vector: pVBG2307. This novel vector pVBG2307 contains a greatly expanded multiple cloning site with an adjacent imported CaMV35S promoter sequence. This vector allows controlled tr.. Read More»

Recombinant adeno-associated virus BMP-4/7 fusion gene confers ossification activity in rabbit bone marrow stromal cells
Authors: S.H. Yuan C.B. Gao C.U. Yin Z.G. Yin
The biological effects of transfection of an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector with bone morphogenetic proteins 4 and 7 (BMP-4/7) fusion gene (AAV-BMP-4/7) were determined in rabbit bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). BMP-4 and BMP-7 genes were obtained through one-step reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction from human placental cells. The BMP-4.. Read More»
