Imprinted gene expression in in vivo- and in vitro-produced bovine embryos and chorio-allantoic membranes
Authors: F. Perecin S.C. M�©o W. Yamazaki C.R. Ferreira G.K.F. Merighe F.V. Meirelles J.M. Garcia
Cloning by nuclear transfer is often associated with poor results due to abnormal nuclear reprogramming of somatic donor cells and altered gene expression patterns. We investigated the expression patterns of imprinted genes IGF2 and IGF2R in 33- to 36-day bovine embryos and chorio-allantoic membranes derived from in vivo- and .. Read More»

Population genetics of the Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) in Korea inferred from microsatellite marker analysis
Authors: H.S. An J.W. Lee J.Y. Park
Populations of the Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai, have been severely overexploited over the past few decades in Korea. Information regarding the levels of genetic variability and structure within populations is insufficient for the development of effective strategies for conservation of genetic diversity of this species. To assess the genetic statu.. Read More»

Molecular cloning, tissue expression pattern, and copy number variation of porcine SCUBE3
Authors: X. Liu*, L.G. Wang*, L.C. Zhang, H. Yan, K.B. Zhao, J. Liang, N. Li, L. Pu,T. Zhang and L.X. Wang
The signal peptide CUB EGF-like domain-containing protein 3 (SCUBE3) gene is a member of SCUBE gene family and plays important roles in bone cell biology and the determination of limb bone length. In this study, the full-length transcript of porcine SCUBE3 was cloned using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and rapid amplification of cDNA end.. Read More»

Identification of differentially expressed genes associated with flower color in peach using genome-wide transcriptional analysis
Authors: Y. Zhou, X.X. Wu, Z. Zhang and Z.H. Gao
Flower color is an important trait of the ornamental peach (Prunus persica L.). However, the mechanism responsible for the different colors that appear in the same genotype remains unclear. In this study, red samples showed higher anthocyanins content (0.122 ± 0.009 mg/g), which was significantly different from that in white samples (0.066 ±.. Read More»

Association between the CYP1A1 polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma: a meta-analysis
Authors: B.W. Yu, L.Q. Zhang, X.L. Teng, Y. Zhang, L.B. Zou and H.Y. Ying
Numerous studies have evaluated the association between CYP1A1 gene polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk. However, the specific association is still controversial. The aim of our study was to clarify the effects of CYP1A1 gene polymorphisms (3801 Tï¼Â?C and A2455G) on HCC risk by conducting a meta-analysis. We conducted searches of the .. Read More»

Estimates of genetic trend for carcass traits in a commercial broiler line
Authors: J.L.B.M. Grosso J.C.C. Balieiro J.P. Eler J.B.S. Ferraz E.C. Mattos T. Michelan Filho A.M. FelÃ?Âcio F.M. Rezende
Data from the slaughter of 24,001 chickens that were part of a selection program for the production of commercial broilers were used to estimate genetic trend for absolute carcass (CW), breast meat (BRW), and leg (LW) weights, and relative carcass (CY), breast meat (BRY), and leg (LY) weights. The components of (co)variance an.. Read More»

Highly conserved regions in the 5� region of human olfactory receptor genes
Authors: H.F. Tobar P.A. Moreno P.E. V�©lez
Regulation of human olfactory receptor (hOR) genes is a complex process of control and signalization with various structures and functions that are not clearly understood. To date, nearly 390 functional hOR genes and 462 pseudogenes have been discovered in the human genome. Enhancer models and trans-acting elements for the reg.. Read More»

Transcriptome analysis of skeletal muscle at prenatal stages in Polled Dorset versus Small-tailed Han sheep
Authors: N. Liu, J.N. He, W.M. Yu, K.D. Liu, M. Cheng, J.F. Liu, Y.H. He, J.S. Zhao and X.X. Qu
The objectives of the present study were to identify additional genes that may play important roles in the regulation of skeletal muscle growth and development, and to provide fundamental information for understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms. Eighteen cDNA libraries were constructed from the longissimus muscle of Polled Dorset (PD) and Small-t.. Read More»

Effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the ATP-binding cassette B1 gene on the clinical outcome of traumatic brain injury
Authors: Z.L. Wang, D.S. Xu, Y.X. Wang, H. Qin and D. Geng
The critical role of ATP-binding cassette B1 (ABCB1) in the function of the blood-brain barrier led us to conducted this prospective study in order to investigate the clinical outcome of patients suffering from severe traumatic brain injury. A total of 182 patients with traumatic brain injury were included in our study. Genotyping of ABCB1 C3435T and G267.. Read More»
