Authors: C.F. Nunes, T.A. Setotaw, M. Pasqual, E.A. Chagas, E.G. Santos,D.N. Santos, C.G.B. Lima, G.M.A. Can�§ado
Myrciaria dubia (camu-camu) is an Amazon tree that produces a tart fruit with high vitamin C content. It is probably the fruit with the highest vitamin C content among all Brazilian fruit crops and it can be used to supplement daily vitamin C dose. This property has attracted the attention of consumers and, consequently, encou.. Read More»

Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with growth traits in Jinghai yellow chickens
Authors: M.A. Abdalhag,T. Zhang, Q.C. Fan, X.Q. Zhang, G.X. Zhang, J.Y. Wang, Y. Wei,Y.J. Wang
Body weight is one of the most important economic traits in the poultry industry. In the present study, a custom SNP Beadchip was used to analyze the association between those 15 SNPs and 12 growth traits of Jinghai yellow chickens, and other important genetic parameters were also calculated and analyzed. The results indicated.. Read More»

Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the bovine leptin and leptin receptor genes with growth and ultrasound carcass traits in Nellore cattle
Authors: R.C.G. da Silva J.B.S. Ferraz F.V. Meirelles J.P. Eler J.C.C. Balieiro D.C. Cucco E.C. Mattos F.M. Rezende S.L. Silva
Given the important role of leptin in metabolism, we looked for a possible association of leptin and leptin receptor polymorphisms with carcass and growth traits in Nellore cattle. We examined associations of leptin and leptin receptor SNPs with ultrasound carcass (longissimus dorsi muscle area (ribeye area), backfat thickness and rump fat thickness and grow.. Read More»

Association between RsaI polymorphism in estrogen receptor �² gene and male infertility
Authors: B.M. Bordin and K.K.V.O. Moura
The estrogen receptor β (ERβ) gene plays an important role in the regulation of fertility in both males and females. The RsaI polymorphism in ERβ is associated with male infertility in Caucasian patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of this polymorphism in the etiology of idiopathic male infertility and its correl.. Read More»

A missense mutant of the PPAR-�³gene associated with carcass and meat quality traits in Chinese cattle breeds
Authors: Y.Y. Fan G.W. Fu C.Z. Fu L.S. Zan W.Q. Tian
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-Ã?³) is a key molecule in adipocyte differentitation; it transactivates multiple target genes in lipid metabolic pathways. Using PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing, we evaluated a potential association of an SNP (72472 Gï¹¥T in exon7) of the bovine PPAR-Ã?³gene with carcass and meat quality traits in 6.. Read More»

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in Brahman steers and their association with carcass and tenderness traits
Authors: T. Smith M.G. Thomas T.D. Bidner J.C. Paschal D.E. Franke
Data from purebred Brahman steers (N = 467) were used to study the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) with carcass traits and measures of tenderness. Fall weaned calves were grazed and fed in a subtropical environment and then harvested for processing in a commercial facility. Carcass data were recorded 24 h .. Read More»

De novo assembly and characterization of Gleditsia sinensis transcriptome and subsequent gene identification and SSR mining
Authors: S. Han, Z. Wu, X. Wang, K. Huang, Y. Jin, W. Yang and H. Shi
Gleditsia sinensis is a Chinese native deciduous tree with a high economic and medicinal value. However, there is limited knowledge on the molecular processes responsible for the medical properties of this species owing to lack of bioinformatic resources such as available whole-genome sequences. In the present study, RNA sequencing data were used to analy.. Read More»

DNA sequence polymorphism within the bovine adenosine monophosphate deaminase 1 (AMPD1) is associated with production traits in Chinese cattle
Authors: C.-B. Wei, J.-Q. Wang, F.-Y. Chen, H. Niu and K. Li1,
The objectives of the present study were to detect an 18-bp deletion mutation in the bovine adenosine monophosphate deaminase 1 (AMPD1) gene and analyze its effect on growth traits in 2 Chinese cattle breeds using DNA sequencing and agarose electrophoresis. The five 19-bp polymerase chain reaction products of the AMPD1 gene exhibited 3 genotypes and 2 all.. Read More»

AGPAT6 polymorphism and its association with milk traits of dairy goats
Authors: C. He, C. Wang, Z.H. Chang, B.L. Guo, R. Li, X.P. Yue, X.Y. Lan, H. Chen and C.Z. Lei
As one of the eight members in the 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate-O-acyltransferase (AGPATs) family, AGPAT6 is a crucial enzyme for the biosynthesis of glycerolipids and triacylglycerol in eukaryotes, as well as catalyzing the conversion from lysophosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid. AGPAT6 can be considered as a candidate gene .. Read More»
