Authors: W.Y. Guo1,4*, Z.H. Zhang2*, J.L. Mu3, D. Liu3, L. Zhao2, Z.Y. Yao4,5 and J.G. Song3
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a mental illness characterized by subjective feelings of depression, cognitive dysfunction, and decreased interest. The serotoninergic system is involved in the pathogenesis of depressive disorders and is regulated by the serotonin transporter gene. The serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) has been exa.. Read More»

Authors: A.M. Sifuentes-Rinc�³n1, A.G. Trejo-Tapia1, R.D. Randel2, P. Ambriz-Morales1 and G.M. Parra-Bracamonte1
The aim of this study was to analyze the allelic frequency distribution and segregation among breeds and/or between different cattle genetic groups of four novel single nucleotide polymorphisms of the bovine DRD1 and DRD5 genes and one reported SNP from the DRD4 gene. One hundred and nine-animals from ten different cattle breeds were genotyped and allelic.. Read More»

Cloning and characterization of defense-related genes from Populus szechuanica infected with rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina
Authors: Z.J. Chen1,2, Z.M. Cao1, Z.D. Yu1 and D. Yu1
Characterization of defense-related genes is critical for breeding disease-resistant poplar varieties and for better management and control of leaf rust disease. In the present study, full-length cDNAs of five Populus szechuanica defense-related (PsDR) genes, pathogen-related protein 1 (PsPR1), β-1,3-glucanase (PsGns), thaumatin-like protein 1 (PsTLP..

miRNApath: a database of miRNAs, target genes and metabolic pathways
Authors: A.O. Chiromatzo, T.Y.K. Oliveira, G. Pereira, A.Y. Costa, C.A.E. Montesco, D.E. Gras, F. Yosetake, J.B. Vilar, M. Cervato, P.R.R. Prado, R.G.C.C.L. Cardenas, R. Cerri, R.L. Borges, R.N. Lemos, S.M. Alvarenga, V.R.C. Perallis, D.G. Pinheiro, I.T. Silva, R.M. Brand�£o, M.A.V. Cunha, S. Giuliatti and W.A. Silva Jr
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate target gene expression and hence play important roles in metabolic pathways. Recent studies have evidenced the interrelation of miRNAs with cell proliferation, differentiation, development, and diseases. Since they are involved in gene regulation, they are intrinsicall..

Phylogeny of Marmosops and the occurrence of Marmosops pinheiroi (Pine, 1981) (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae) in the Cerrado savanna of Maranh�£o, Brazil
Authors: D.C. Nascimento, A.P.M. OlÃ?Âmpio, E. ConceiÃ?§Ã?£o, B.A.T.P. Campos, E.C. Fraga and M.C. Barros
The present study reviews the phylogeny of the genus Marmosops and expands the geographic range of Marmosops pinheiroi to the Brazilian State of Maranhão. Five specimens of M. pinheiroi were collected from the Inhamum Municipal Environmental Protection Area in Caxias, Maranhão. Total DNA was extracted and the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene ..

Differential expression of the lethal gene Luteus-Pa in cacao of the Parinari series
Authors: B.C. Rehem1, A.-A.F. Almeida1, G.S.F. Figueiredo1, A.S. Gesteira2, S.C. Santos1, R.X. Corr�ªa1, M.M. Yamada3 and R.R. Valle3
The recessive lethal character Luteus-Pa is found in cacao (Theobroma cacao) genotypes of the Parinari series (Pa) and is characterized by expression of leaf chlorosis and seedling death. Several genotypes of the Pa series are bearers of the gene responsible for the expression of the Luteus-Pa character, which can be used as a tool for determining relatio.. Read More»

Serum lipid abnormalities are not associated with apoB 3' VNTR polymorphism in nephrotic children
Authors: P. Hu B. Hu Y.H. Qin L. Lu Z.Q. Li L.Q. Tao Q. Pei J. Chen
Apolipoprotein B (apoB) gene 3' variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) is highly variable, and therefore can be an informative marker for associative analysis of lipid metabolism. This is the first report focusing on a possible association of apoB VNTR polymorphism with nephrotic hyperlipidemia. Genomic DNA was extracted from 500 children with primary nephr.. Read More»

SNPs at 3'-UTR of the bovine CDIPT gene associated with Qinchuan cattle meat quality traits
Authors: C.Z. Fu H. Wang C.G. Mei J.L. Wang B.J. Jiang X.H Ma H.B. Wang G. Cheng L.S. Zan
As the most ancient member of the wheat gluten family, the Ã?³-gliadin genes are suitable for phylogenetic analysis among wheat and related species. Species in the grass genus Dasypyrum have been widely used for wheat cross breeding. However, the genomic relationships among Dasypyrum species have been little studied. We isolated 22 novel Ã?³-gliadin gene s.. Read More»
