Molecular cloning, sequence characterization, and gene expression profiling of a novel water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) gene, AGPAT6
Authors: S. Song, J.L. Huo,D.L. Li, Y.Y. Yuan, F. Yuan and Y.W. Miao
Several 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate-O-acyltransferases (AGPATs) can acylate lysophosphatidic acid to produce phosphatidic acid. Of the eight AGPAT isoforms, AGPAT6 is a crucial enzyme for glycerolipids and triacylglycerol biosynthesis in some mammalian tissues. We amplified and identified the complete coding sequence (CDS) of the water buffalo AGPAT6 gene .. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Cosmos species revealed by RAPD and ISSR markers
Authors: A. RodrÃ?Âguez-Bernal, J.L. PiÃ?±a-Escutia, L.M. VÃ?¡zquez-GarcÃ?Âa and A.M. Arzate-FernÃ?¡ndez
The genus Cosmos is native of America and is constituted by 34 species; 28 of them are endemic of Mexico. The cosmos are used as a nematicide, antimalarial, and antioxidative agent. The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic diversity among 7 cosmos species based on random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequences repeats (ISSR) m.. Read More»

A generic plant RNA isolation method suitable for RNA-Seq and suppression subtractive hybridization
Authors: Y.Q. Zhu1,2, W.J. Wu1,2, H.W. Xiao1,2, H.B. Chen1,2, Y. Zheng1,2, Y.J. Zhang2, H.X.Wang2 and L.Q. Huang1,2
A recently developed revolutionary approach to transcriptomics, RNA-Seq, and suppression subtractive hybridization are powerful tools for gene expression research. However, currently, the difficulty of isolating high-quality RNAs from plant tissues bearing abundant complex polysaccharides, polyphenolics, and secondary metabolites is a serious problem that..

Evidence for inbreeding depression in the tree Robinia pseudoacacia L. (Fabaceae)
Authors: C.Q. Yuan, Y.F. Li, L. Wang, K.Q. Zhao, R.Y. Hu, P. Sun, Y.H. Sun, Y. Li, W.X. Gu and Z.Y. Zhou
The magnitude of inbreeding depression within populations is important for the evolution and maintenance of mixed mating systems. However, data are sparse on the magnitude of inbreeding depression in Robinia pseudoacacia. In this study, we compared differences in the mature seed set per fruit, seed mass, germination success, and seedling growth between se.. Read More»

Phylogenetic classification and clinical aspects of a new putative Deltapapillomavirus associated with skin lesions in cattle
Authors: T.C. Melo, R.F. Carvalho, J. Mazzucchelli-de-Souza, N. Diniz, S. Vasconcelos, S.L.M.R. Assaf, R.P. Araldi, R.M. Ruiz, I. Kerkis, W. Be�§ak and R.C. Stocc
Bovine papillomaviruses (BPVs) are recognized as causal agents of benign and malignant tumors in cattle. Thirteen types of BPVs have already been described and classified into 3 distinct genera. Divergences in the nucleotide sequence of the L1 gene are used to identify new viral types through the employment of PCR assays with .. Read More»

Aberrant gene expression profiles in hepatocellular carcinoma detected by microdissection
Authors: Y.M. Wei1, Y.Y. Li2, Y.C. Zhang2 and Y.Q. Nie2
The aim of this study was to identify genomic aberrations in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by using laser capture microdissection (LCM) combined with microarray analysis. Samples were procured by LCM from HCC and patient-matched normal liver tissue surgically resected from 4 patients. RNA was isolated from the samples and reverse transcribed into cDNA. A.. Read More»
