Authors: M.X. Zhang, H.M. Gao, S.Y. Han, Y. Liu, Y.L. Tian, S.H. Sun, D.J. Xiao, C.T. Li and Y.S. Wang,
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the Goldeneye 20A system (containing 19 short tandem repeats) can avert the shortage of duo parentage tests. Among routine cases typed by the Identifiler system, we identified 42 motherless cases, 2 fatherless cases, and 34 trio cases containing 1 locus mismatch and 4 motherless ca.. Read More»

Role of the RUNX2 p.R225Q mutation in cleidocranial dysplasia: a rare presentation and an analysis of the RUNX2 protein structure
Authors: L.Z. Wu, W.Q. Su, Y.F. Liu, X. Ge, Y. Zhang and X.J. Wang
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD; MIM 119600) is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder of skeletal features whose characteristic clinical symptoms are caused by mutations in the RUNX2 gene. Varying degrees of clavicular hypoplasia and dental abnormalities are the most prominent features of this disorder. In this study, we pres.. Read More»

Limited efficiency of universal mini-barcode primers for DNA amplification from desert reptiles, birds and mammals
Authors: I.A. Arif, H.A. Khan, M. Al Sadoon and M. Shobrak
In recent years, DNA barcoding has emerged as a powerful tool for species identification. We report an extended validation of a universal DNA mini-barcode for amplification of 130-bp COI segments from 23 specimens collected from a desert environment, including 11 reptiles, five mammals and seven birds. Besides the standard dou.. Read More»

Random regression models using different functions to model test-day milk yield of Brazilian Holstein cows
Authors: A.B. Bignardi, L. El Faro, R.A.A. Torres J�ºnior, V.L. Cardoso, P.F. Machado and L.G. Albuquerque
We analyzed 152,145 test-day records from 7317 first lactations of Holstein cows recorded from 1995 to 2003. Our objective was to model variations in test-day milk yield during the first lactation of Holstein cows by random regression model (RRM), using various functions in order to obtain adequate and parsimonious models for ..

Molecular cloning of a new wheat calreticulin gene TaCRT1 and expression analysis in plant defense responses and abiotic stress resistance
Authors: Y.Q. An, R.M. Lin, F.T. Wang, J. Feng, Y.F. Xu and S.C. Xu
Calreticulin proteins play essential roles in regulating various metabolic processes and in molecular signal transduction in animals and plants. Using homologous PCR, we screened a cDNA library of the wheat resistance gene Yr5 from a near-isogenic line in the susceptible common wheat variety Taichung 29, which was inoculated w.. Read More»

Microdissection testicular sperm extraction causes spermatogenic alterations in the contralateral testis
Authors: A.B. Oliveira Filho, R.S. Souza, M.T.V. Azeredo-Oliveira, R.L. Peruquetti and A.P. Cedenho
Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) associated with intracytoplasmic sperm injection has allowed many men presenting non-obstructive azoospermia to achieve fatherhood. Microdissection TESE (microTESE) was proposed as a method to improve sperm retrieval rates in these patients; however, there have been failures. Little is known .. Read More»

Transcriptional analysis of the porcine TTID gene and association of different TTID genotypes with carcass traits
Authors: J. Wang, Y.-P. Feng, B. Zuo, Y.-Z. Xiong and C.-Y. Deng
The titin immunoglobulin domain (TTID) protein localizes to the Z line in muscle and binds to alpha-actinin and gamma-filamin. It plays an indispensable role in stabilizing and anchoring of thin filaments. In this study, the 5'-regulatory region of the porcine TTID gene was analyzed with bioinformatic methods. Another objectiv.. Read More»

Precision of distances and ordering of microsatellite markers in consensus linkage maps of chromosomes 1, 3 and 4 from two reciprocal chicken populations using bootstrap sampling
Authors: M.F. Ros�¡rio, G.R.A. Margarido, C. Boschiero, A.S.A.M.T. Moura, M.C. Ledur, L.L. Coutinho and A.A.F. Garcia
Some factors complicate comparisons between linkage maps from different studies. This problem can be resolved if measures of precision, such as confidence intervals and frequency distributions, are associated with markers. We examined the precision of distances and ordering of microsatellite markers in the consensus linkage ma.. Read More»

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPAR-δ) is a transcription factor implicated in metabolism and inflammation. The +294T/C polymorphism in the PPAR-δ gene is associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in dyslipidemic women and hypercholesterolemic men. Whether this polymorphism influences..
