Identification and expression analysis of the Broad-Complex core protein isoform 6 (BR-C Z6) gene in the giant tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon (Penaeidae: Decapoda)
Authors: A. Buaklin, S. Klinbunga and P. Mensveta
Broad-Complex (BR-C) is an early ecdysone-responsive gene encoding a family of zinc-finger transcription factors that function during metamorphosis in insects. We identified two full-length cDNAs of BR-C Z6 in the giant tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). They were 2422 and 2060 bp in length, containing open reading frames of 1440.. Read More»

Development of polymorphic microsatellite markers and the population genetic structure of the half-fin anchovy, Setipinna taty
Authors: Y.N. Sun, Y. Qin, Z.H. Zhu and D.Q. Sun
Microsatellite markers for the half-fin anchovy Setipinna taty were developed from the enriched (CA)15 genomic library, and they were used for the population genetic studies of the half-fin anchovy from Chinese coastal areas. Samples were collected from five localities of the East China Sea and the Yellow S.. Read More»

Genetic variability in Melipona quinquefasciata (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini) from northeastern Brazil determined using the first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1)
Authors: J.O.P. Pereira, B.M. Freitas, D.M.M. Jorge, D.C. Torres,C.E.A. Soares and T.B. Grangeiro
Melipona quinquefasciata is a ground-nesting South American stingless bee whose geographic distribution was believed to comprise only the central and southern states of Brazil. We obtained partial sequences (about 500-570 bp) of first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1) nuclear ribosomal DNA from Melipona specimens putatively i.. Read More»

Association between rs11001553 of DKK1 and non-syndromic tooth agenesis in the Chinese Han population
Authors: H.C. Liu, J. Zhang, S. Wong, D. Han, H.S. Zhao and H.L. Feng
Tooth agenesis is one of the most common anomalies of human dentition. Recent genetic studies have provided information regarding a number of genes related to both syndromic and non-syndromic forms of hypodontia. In a previous study, we found that polymorphism in rs11001553 of DKK1 was associated with hypodontia in th.. Read More»

Cloning and sequence analysis of the safflower betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase gene
Authors: Y.B. Wang, L.L. Guan, Y.W. Xu, H. Shen and W. Wu
In response to salinity or drought stress, many plants accumulate glycine betaine, which is a regulator of osmosis. In plants, the last step in betaine synthesis is catalyzed by betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH), a nuclear-encoded chloroplastic enzyme. Based on the conserved oligo amino acid residues of the published BADH .. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity and trait correlations among Korean landrace rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: F.P. Li, Y.S. Lee, S.W. Kwon, G. Li and Y.J. Park
This study analyzed 394 Korean rice landrace accessions, including 93 waxy varieties, for polymorphisms using 29 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. In total, 381 alleles served as raw data for estimating the genetic diversity (GD) and population structure. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 44 (average = 13.14.. Read More»

Direct sequencing of mutations in the copper-transporting P-type adenosine triphosphate (ATP7B) gene for diagnosis and pathogenesis of Wilson�s disease
Authors: D.F. Zhang and J.F. Teng
Copper-transporting P-type adenosine triphosphatase (ATP7B) has been identified as the pathogenic gene in hepatolenticular degeneration, or Wilson’s disease (WD). The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between genetic mutations and the clinical profile of WD, and to discuss the value of mutation examination in its diagnosis for providi..

Genetic characterization of an elite coffee germplasm assessed by gSSR and EST-SSR markers
Authors: R.F. Missio, E.T. Caixeta, E.M. Zambolim, G.F. Pena, L. Zambolim, L.A.S. Dias and N.S. Sakiyama
Coffee is one of the main agrifood commodities traded worldwide. In 2009, coffee accounted for 6.1% of the value of Brazilian agricultural production, generating a revenue of US$6 billion. Despite the importance of coffee production in Brazil, it is supported by a narrow genetic base, with few accessions. Molecular differentiation and diversity of a coffee b.. Read More»

Relationship between progeny growth performance and molecular marker-based genetic distances in Eucommia ulmoides parental genotypes
Authors: Y. Li, Y.C. Wei, Z.Q. Li, S.H. Wang and L. Chang
Progeny performances, variations and combining abilities for growth traits were evaluated in a factorial mating design of Eucommia ulmoides. Three marker systems, sequence-related amplified polymorphism, amplified fragment length polymorphism, and inter-simple sequence repeat, were u.. Read More»

Analysis of CD38 and ZAP70 mRNA expression among cytogenetic subgroups of Iranian chronic-lymphocytic-leukemia patients
Authors: H. Teimori, M.T. Akbari, M. Hamid, M. Forouzandeh and E. Bibordi
Chromosomal abnormalities and ZAP70 expression profile are two major independent prognostic markers in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. We investigated a possible correlation between these two markers. ZAP70 expression using real-time RT-PCR was examined in 20 B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients with del13q14, 13 ..
