Authors: Y.F. Li, X.G. Gao, W.D. Liu, Y. Tian, L. Gao, S.L. Li and C.B. He
Japanese scallop (Mizuhopecten yessoensis) is a cold-water shellfish, and a species of economic importance in China. In this study, we developed and evaluated simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from the expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of M. yessoensis. The characteristics of 12 EST-SSR loci were investigated in 30 individual scallops, and the result reve.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of novel microsatellite markers in commercial selected golden Malaysian arowana fish, Scleropages formosus (Osteoglossidae)
Authors: B. Manoharan, Z. Sulaimen, F. Omar, R.Y. Othman, S.Z. Mohamed and S. Bhassu
Malaysian arowana (dragonfish; Scleropages formosus) is an ancient osteoglossid fish from southeast Asia. Due to the high demand of the ornamental fish trade and because of habitat loss, the species is close to extinction. We isolated and characterized 10 polymorphic microsatellites of this species, using 5'-anchored PCR. The .. Read More»

DNA barcoding and phylogenetic relationships in Timaliidae
Authors: Z.H. Huang and D.H. Ke
The Timaliidae, a diverse family of oscine passerine birds, has long been a subject of debate regarding its phylogeny. The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene has been used as a powerful marker for identification and phylogenetic studies of animal species. In the present study, we analyzed the COI barcodes of 71 species from 21 genera .. Read More»

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals three potential antiviral signaling pathways in lymph organ tissue of the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii
Authors: Z.-Q. Du
The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) is one of the most economically important farmed aquatic species in China. Compared with its relatively well-known antibacterial and antifungal mechanisms, the antiviral mechanism is still unclear. We used Illumina-based RNA sequencing and bioinformatic technology to obtain high-qua.. Read More»

Effect of antagonistic yeast XL-1 on resistance-associated enzyme activities in postharvest cantaloupe
Authors: C.-H. Shan, W. Chen, H. Zhang, F.-X. Tang and J.-M. Tong
The effect of the antagonistic yeast XL-1 on resistance-associated enzyme activities in postharvest cantaloupe was studied by inoculating the antagonistic yeast XL-1. Cantaloupes were sterilized, dried in air, and soaked in antagonistic yeast treatment liquid for 30 s. After drying in air, the cantaloupe was stored at room tem.. Read More»

Population structure and genetic variation of the endangered species Elaeagnus mollis Diels (Elaeagnaceae)
Authors: J.M. Zhang and F. Zhang
Elaeagnus mollis Diels is a group of shrubs and dwarf trees endemic to China and are endangered plants. However, the reason why these plants are endangered remains controversial. The current study aimed to explore the endangered status of E. mollis from a genetic perspective and to propose conservation strategies for this species. Using 16 polymorphic all.. Read More»

Proteomic analysis revealed the altered kidney protein profile of a Cyld knockout mouse model
Authors: Y. Zhao, Y. Zhang, H.B. Song, F. Wu, X.L. Wang, S.-C. Sun, T.X. Cui and D.Q. Tang
The aim of this study was to compare the proteomics pattern of the kidneys from Cyld knockout mice with that from normal mouse kidneys and establish a preliminary understanding of the role of Cyld in the kidney. Proteins from the kidneys of knockout Cyld mice and wild-type mice were extracted, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) w.. Read More»

Prediction of disease-related microRNAs by incorporating functional similarity and common association information
Authors: K. Han, P. Xuan2, J. Ding, Z.J. Zhao, L. Hui and Y.L. Zhong
The identification of human disease-related microRNAs (miRNAs) is important for understanding the pathogenesis of diseases, but to do this experimentally is a costly and time-consuming process. Computational prediction of disease-related miRNA candidates is a valuable complement to experimental studies. It is essential to deve.. Read More»

Authors: N.D. Ribeiro, C.R. Casagrande, H.C. Mezzomo, M.T.D.F. Possobom, S. de M. Steckling and G.R. Kl�¤sener
The objective of this study was to select common bean cultivars based on their stability for flowering, cycle, insertion of the first pod, grain yield, and high agronomic performance. Twenty experiments were carried out between 2000 and 2014, during two growing seasons, in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The Eberhart and Russel, an.. Read More»
