Genetic diversity among red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) populations in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River based on AFLP markers
Authors: B.F. Zhu Y. Huang Y.G. Dai C.W. Bi C.Y. Hu
The red swamp crayfish has become one of the most important freshwater aquaculture species in China. At present, although it is widely distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangze River basin, little is known about its population genetics and geographic distribution in China. We estimated the genetic diversity among 6 crayfish populations from 4.. Read More»

Frequency of MDR1 single nucleotide polymorphisms in a Jordanian population, including a novel variant
Authors: O.F. Khabour K.H. Alzoubi S.I. Al-Azzam N.M. Mhaidat
The multidrug resistance gene (MDR1 or ABCB1) codes for P-glycoprotein, which plays an important role in regulating absorption, distribution, and elimination of drugs. We examined MDR1 gene variants in 100 unrelated subjects from various regions of Jordan. The MDR1 gene was scanned using direct sequencing. Six rare variants in MDR1 were detected, includin..

Molecular diversity of Pakistani mango (Mangifera indica L.) varieties based on microsatellite markers
Authors: T. Nazish, G. Shabbir, A. Ali, S. Sami-ul-Allah, M. Naeem, M. Javed,S. Batool, H. Arshad, S.B. Hussain, K. Aslam, R. Seher, M. Tahir and M. Baber
Understanding the genetic diversity of different Pakistani mango varieties is important for germplasm management and varietal characterization. Microsatellites are efficient and highly polymorphic markers for comparative genome mapping, and were used in the present study to determine the genetic relatedness and variability amo.. Read More»

Cloning and expression analysis of pepper chlorophyll catabolite reductase gene CaRCCR
Authors: H.-J. Xiao, J.-H. Jin, W.-G. Chai and Z.-H. Gong
Opening the porphyrin macrocycle of pheophorbide a and forming the primary fluorescent chlorophyll catabolites are key steps in the chlorophyll catabolism pathway. These steps are catalyzed by pheophorbide a oxygenase and red chlorophyll catabolite reductase (RCCR). In this study, a novel RCCR gene, CaRCCR, was isolated from the pepper (Capsicum annuum L...

Polymorphism E23K (rs5219) in the KCNJ11 gene in Euro-Brazilian subjects with type 1 and 2 diabetes
Authors: S.W. Souza, L.P. Alcazar, P.A. Arakaki, I.C.R. Santos-Weiss, D. Alberton, G. Picheth and F.G.M. Rego
Insulin secretion is regulated by ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP). The potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 11 (KCNJ11) gene, located on chromosome 11p15.1, encodes the subunit Kir6.2 that forms the pore region of KATP channels in pancreatic β-cells. Among the single nucleotide polymorphisms .. Read More»

Optimal clone identifier for genomic shotgun libraries: â??OC Identifier toolâ?
Authors: Cantao ME, Ferreira JE and Lemos EGM
In DNA microarray experiments, the gene fragments that are spotted on the slides are usually obtained by the synthesis of specific oligonucleotides that are able to amplify genes through PCR. Shotgun library sequences are an alternative to synthesis of primers for the study of each gene in the genome. The possibility of puttin.. Read More»

Genome-wide partial correlation analysis of Escherichia coli microarray data
Authors: Veiga DFT, Vicente FFR, Grivet M, de la Fuente A and Vasconcelos ATR
Transcriptional control is an essential regulatory mechanism employed by bacteria. Much about transcriptional regulation remains to be discovered, even for the most widely studied bacterium, Escherichia coli. In the present study, we made a genome-wide loworder partial correlation analysis of E. coli microarray data with the p.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and population structure in Brazilian Mangalarga Marchador horses
Authors: J.B. DeAssis, D.M. DeLaat, M.G.C.D. Peixoto, J.A.G. Bergmann,C.G. Fonseca and M.R.S. Carvalho
One hundred and fifteen unrelated Mangalarga Marchador horses were sampled from three geographically distinct regions of Minas Gerais State, Brazil (South, Southeast, and Northeast) and tested for 10 microsatellite loci. Genetic diversity and population structure parameters were estimated with ARLEQUIN 3.0, CERVUS 2.0, POPGENE.. Read More»

New set of microsatellites for Chinese tallow tree, Triadica sebifera
Authors: Y.F. Zhuang, Z.F. Wang and L.F. Wu
Chinese tallow (Triadica sebifera) is an important crop and ornamental tree. After it was introduced into the USA, it gradually became a noxious invasive tree in south-eastern America since the middle of the 1900s. Because only six microsatellites were reported previously in T. sebifera, to better understand the genetic divers.. Read More»

New sources of resistance to leafminers (Liriomyza sativae) in melon (Cucumis melo L.) germplasm
Authors: E.F. Celin, F.I.C. Oliveira, N.S. Dias-Pini, G.H.S. Nunes and F.A.S. Arag?£o
Leafminers (Liriomyza sativae) are the main melon (Cucumis melo L.) pests in Northeast Brazil, which is the main region for the production and export of the fruit in Brazil. Of the integrated management strategies available, genetic resistance is the best method of preventing damage by these insects. The aim of this study was .. Read More»
