Movement patterns and genetic diversity of wild and reintroduced common dormice, Muscardinus avellanarius
Authors: D.M. Naim, S. Telfer, S. Tatman, S. Bird, S.J. Kemp and P.C. Watts
Movement is an important life history trait that can have an impact on local adaptation, and other evolutionary phenomena. We used a combination of nestbox survey data and genetic techniques (genotyping at 10 microsatellite loci) to quantify patterns of movement in common dormice Muscardinus avellanarius at two distinct sites ..

DNA methylation in sugarcane somaclonal variants assessed through methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism
Authors: J.H.M.B. Francischini, E.L. Kemper, J.B. Costa, J.R.V. Manechini and L.R. Pinto
Micropropagation is an important tool for large-scale multiplication of plant superior genotypes. However, somaclonal variation is one of the drawbacks of this process. Changes in DNA methylation have been widely reported as one of the main causes of somaclonal variations in plants. In order to investigate the occurrence of ch.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and expression pattern of the DjStag gene in the planarian Dugesia japonica during embryonic development
Authors: Z.Q. Yuan, J.Y. Zhang and B.S. Zhao
We examined STAG-related gene (DjStag) expression in the planarian Dugesia japonica. This species is common in Far Eastern countries. The DjStag cDNA includes 1362 bp and contains a 489-bp open reading frame corresponding to a deduced protein of 162 amino acids, with a 170-bp 5'-UTR and a 703-bp 3'-UTR. Phylogenetic analysis s..

Cloning and identification of the ASIP gene in Chinese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides)
Authors: Y.M. Li, S. Si, P.C. Guo, L.L. Li, C.Y. Bai and S.Q. Yan
The quantity, quality, and distribution of eumelanin and pheomelanin determine a wide variety of coat colors in animals. Three coat color variants exist in farmed wild-type Chinese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides), which is an important fur-bearing animal species. The ASIP gene is an important candidate gene for coat color variation in .. Read More»

Application of genomics and proteomics in drug target discovery
Authors: H.M. Zhang, Z.R. Nan, G.Q. Hui, X.H. Liu and Y. Sun
Gene medicine is making breakthroughs in health questions that have baffled humanity for centuries. To understand and utilize gene medicine, it is necessary to realize its action against targets at the molecular level. Currently, many methods can be used to discover drug targets; among these, genomic and proteomic methods are .. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity of Leuciscus leuciscus baicalensis using novel microsatellite markers with cross-species transferability
Authors: D.J. Lei, G. Zhao, P. Xie, Y. Li, H. Yuan, M. Zou, J.G. Niu and X.F. Ma
We used next-generation sequencing technology to characterize 19 genomic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and 11 expressed sequence tag (EST) SSR markers from Leuciscus leuciscus baicalensis, a small freshwater fish that is widely distributed in Xinjiang, China. Primers were used to test for polymorphisms in three L. leuci.. Read More»

Gene organization and characterization of the complete mitogenome of Hypsugo alaschanicus (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)
Authors: J.Y. Kim and Y.C. Park
We sequenced and characterized the complete mitogenome of Hypsugo alaschanicus (Vespertilionidae) to provide more data for comparative mitogenomics of the genus Hypsugo. The mitogenome of H. alaschanicus is a circular molecule of 17,300 bp, consisting of a control region and a typically conserved set of 37 vertebrate genes containing 13 protein-coding gen..

The sugarcane (Saccharum spp) presents economic importance, mainly for tropical regions, being an important Brazilian commodity. However, this crop is strongly dependent on fertilizers, mainly nitrogen (N). This study assessed the plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) associated with sugarcane that could be used as a potentia.. Read More»

Arg188His polymorphism in the XRCC2 gene and the risk of ovarian cancer: a meta-analysis
Authors: M. Zhai, Y. Wang and M.F. Jiang
Numerous studies have evaluated the association between the Arg188His polymorphism of the X-ray repair cross-complementing group 2 (XRCC2) gene and ovarian cancer risk. However, the specific association is still controversial. This meta-analysis was therefore designed to clarify these controversies. Relevant case-control studies were enrolled in the meta-..
