Genetic diversity in the Pantaneiro horse breed assessed using microsatellite DNA markers
Authors: E.H. Giacomoni, G.P. Fern�¡ndez-Stolz and T.R.O. Freitas
The genetic variability for a sample of 227 animals from three populations of Pantaneiro horses was estimated using data from 10 microsatellite loci. The number of alleles and the proportion of heterozygosity indicated high variability. A total of 91 alleles were found, with a significantly high mean number of alleles. The mea.. Read More»

A description of genes of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis useful in diagnostics and vaccine applications
Authors: V. D�Afonseca, P.M. Moraes, F.A. Dorella, L.G.C. Pacheco,R. Meyer, R.W. Portela, A. Miyoshi* and V. Azevedo*
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, a Gram-positive intracellular pathogen, is the etiological agent of caseous lymphadenitis or CLA. This bacterium infects goats and sheep and causes great economic losses worldwide annually, mainly for goat producers. Despite its importance, CLA is still poorly characterized. However, with ad..

Effects of polymorphisms of LHR and FSHR genes on sexual precocity in a Bos taurus x Bos indicus beef composite population
Authors: E.P. Marson, J.B.S. Ferraz, F.V. Meirelles, J.C.C. Balieiroand J.P. Eler
The purpose of the present research was to investigate the effects of polymorphisms of luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) genes, evaluated by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in European-Zebu composite beef heifers from six different breed compo..

Genetic analysis of average annual productivity of Nellore breeding cows (COWPROD)
Authors: J.P. Eler, J.B.S. Ferraz, J.C.C. Balieiro and E.C. Mattos
With the aim of estimating the coefficient of heritability of average annual productivity of Nellore cows (COWPROD), a data set from 24,855 animals with known pedigree was analyzed. COWPROD is defined as the amount (in kilograms) of weaned calves produced yearly by one cow during her remaining time in herd ignoring a fixed.. Read More»

Novel transcripts of human cytomegalovirus clinical strain found by cDNA library screening
Authors: Y.P. Ma, Q. Ruan, Y.H. Ji, N. Wang, M.L. Li, Y. Qi, R. He, Z.R. Sun and G.W. Ren
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a double-stranded DNA virus with the largest genome (~235 kb) of the known human herpes viruses. The coding potential and transcript structures of most HCMV predicted genes have not been identified. New or unknown genes could exist in clinical strains. The SMART (switching mechanism at 5êÃ..

Pattern of GHR mRNA expression and body growth in the S2 line of sex-linked dwarf chickens
Authors: H.Y. Huang, Z.H. Zhao, S.F. Li, Z. Liang, C.M. Li and Q.B. Wang
Sex-linked dwarf (SLD) chickens have been widely used in cross breeding of broilers and laying hens. To study the molecular mechanisms underlying growth hormone receptor (GHR) in SLD chickens, the expression profiles of GHR were measured in three growth related tissues (liver, breast, and thigh) in male and female S2 SLD chick..

Prognostic value of TP53 Pro47Ser and Arg72Pro single nucleotide polymorphisms and the susceptibility to gliomas in individuals from Southeast Brazil
Authors: G.R. Pinto, F.K.N. Yoshioka, R.L.L. Silva, C.A. Clara, M.J. Santos, J.R.W. Almeida, R.R. Burbano, J.A. Rey and C. Casartelli
The TP53 tumor suppressor gene codifies a protein responsible for preventing cells with genetic damage from growing and dividing by blocking cell growth or apoptosis pathways. A common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in TP53 codon 72 (Arg72Pro) induces a 15-fold decrease of apoptosis-inducing ability and has been associat.. Read More»

Genetic algorithm-based efficient feature selection for classification of pre-miRNAs
Authors: P. Xuan, M.Z. Guo, J. Wang, C.Y. Wang, X.Y. Liu and Y. Liu
In order to classify the real/pseudo human precursor microRNA (pre-miRNAs) hairpins with ab initio methods, numerous features are extracted from the primary sequence and second structure of pre-miRNAs. However, they include some redundant and useless features. It is essential to select the most representative feature subset; t.. Read More»

Characterization of Fusarium species section Liseola by restriction analysis of the IGS region
Authors: M.H. Heng, S. Baharuddin and Z. Latiffah
Fusarium species section Liseola namely F. fujikuroi, F. proliferatum, F. andiyazi, F. verticillioides, and F. sacchari are well-known plant pathogens on rice, sugarcane and maize. In the present study, restriction analysis of the intergenic spacer regions (IGS) was used to characterize the five Fusarium species isolated from .. Read More»
