Authors: H. Qiao1, D. Lv2, S.F. Jiang1, S.M. Sun1, Y.S. Gong1, Y.W. Xiong1, S.B. Jin1 and H.T. Fu1
To assess the genetic status of this species, the genetic diversity of wild Macrobrachium nipponense from seven geographic locations in the Yellow River basin were investigated using 20 polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci. The genetic diversity between populations was indicated by the mean number of alleles per locus and mean observed heterozygosity (H) a.. Read More»

Association of paraoxonase polymorphisms with carotid artery atherosclerosis in essential hypertension patients
Authors: L. Han1,2, X.J. Xu1,2, X.H. Liang1,2 and J. Ma1,2
We investigated the relationships between paraoxonase genetic polymorphisms and essential hypertension in carotid artery atherosclerotic patients. The study included 353 Han participants and 240 Uighur participants from Xinjiang; they were further divided into two groups: essential hypertension with carotid artery atherosclerosis (CAAD group) and essentia..

Comparative genetic diversity of wild and hatchery-produced populations of tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) using multiplex PCR assays with polymorphic microsatellite markers
Authors: H.S. An, E.-M. Kim, H.W. Kang, H.S. Han, J.W. Lee, J.Y. Park,J.I. Myeong and C.M. An
The tongue sole, Cynoglossus semilaevis (Cynoglossidae), is one of the most economically important fishery resources in Korea. This study presents a preliminary investigation of the future viability of the complete aquaculture of tongue sole in Korea. Specifically, possible differences in genetic variability between wild populations of tongue sole from Ko.. Read More»

Identification and authentication of Rosa species through development of species-specific SCAR marker(s)
Authors: K.M.I. Bashir, F.S. Awan, I.A. Khan, A.I. Khan and M. Usman
Roses (Rosa indica) belong to one of the most crucial groups of plants in the floriculture industry. Rosa species have special fragrances of interest to the perfume and pharmaceutical industries. The genetic diversity of plants based on morphological characteristics is difficult to measure under natural conditions due to the i.. Read More»

Myf5 gene polymorphisms and production performance traits in Songliao white geese
Authors: J.B. Wu, L.P. Cao, M.M. Li, N.N. Du, H.L. Huang and Y. Jin
To explore the relationship between Myf5 gene polymorphisms and production performance traits in Songliao white geese, we used the chicken Myf5 sequence to design primers and amplified part of the exon 1 sequence of the Songliao white goose Myf5 gene. Results of single-strand conformation polymorphism polymerase chain reaction.. Read More»

A novel splicing site mutation of the GPR143 gene in a Chinese X-linked ocular albinism pedigree
Authors: C.Y. Cai1*, H. Zhu2*, W. Shi1*, L. Su3*, O. Shi4, C.Q. Cai5, C. Ling1 and W.D. Li1
Ocular albinism is an X-linked inherited disease characterized by hypopigmentation of the iris and nystagmus. To identify a new disease-causing mutation of ocular albinism, we collected a Han Chinese pedigree with 7 male congenital nystagmus patients over 3 generations. Slit-lamp photography and optical coherence tomography were performed for the proband... Read More»

Sos recruitment system for the analysis of the interaction between sulfatase-modifying factor 2 subtypes and interleukin-13
Authors: W.Y. Zhang1*, H.Y. Liang1,2*, C. Yang1, L. Xue1 and X.F. Jiang1,2
(IL)-13 is a central mediator in allergic asthma. Our previous results have indicated that sulfatase-modifying factor 2 (SUMF2) interacts with IL-13 and inhibits its secretion. In this study, we investigated the interactions between SUMF2 subtypes and 2 types of IL-13. Wild type IL-13 (wh-IL-13) and its mutated counterpart (mh-IL-13) were analyzed and clo.. Read More»

Effect of MPO/H2O2/NO- system on nitric oxide-mediated modification of TTR amyloid and serum TTR in FAP ATTR Val30Met patients
Authors: J.P. Liu, Q.Y. Wang, F. Zheng, J.H. Lu, P. Ge, Y.J. Gu and X.G. Sun
Amyloid deposits consist of protein fibrils and amorphous material, and this deposition is related to oxidative stress. Previously, we demonstrated the presence of high-density lipoproteins and/or lipids in amyloid deposits of familial amyloid polyneuropathy patients. In this study, the presence of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in amy.. Read More»

A novel synthetic Cry1Ab gene resists rice insect pests
Authors: F.S. Song, D.H. Ni, H. Li, Y.B. Duan, Y.C. Yang, J.L. Ni, X.Z. Lu, P.C. Wei, L. Li and J.B. Yang
A few insect control genes of Bacillus thuringiensis have been modified successfully to increase the expression in plants by replacing rare codons, increasing GC content, and avoiding the DNA elements that could cause premature transcription termination, mRNA instability, and potential methylation. However, th.. Read More»

Simple sequence repeat-based association analysis of fruit traits in eggplant (Solanum melongena)
Authors: H.Y. Ge1, Y. Liu1, J. Zhang2, H.Q. Han1, H.Z. Li1, W.T. Shao1 and H.Y. Chen1
Association mapping based on linkage disequilibrium (LD) provides a promising tool to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in plant resources. A total of 141 eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) accessions were selected to detect simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers associated with nine fruit traits. Population structure analysis was performed with 105 SSR .. Read More»
