Computational identification of miRNAs and their targets in Phaseolus vulgaris
Authors: J. Han, H. Xie, M.L. Kong, Q.P. Sun, R.Z. Li and J.B. Pan
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding small RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Although thousands of miRNAs have been identified in plants, limited information is available about miRNAs in Phaseolus vulgaris, despite it being an important food legume worldwide. The high cons..

Matrix metalloproteinase-3 gene polymorphism and its mRNA expression in rheumatoid arthritis
Authors: M.J. Ma, H.C. Liu, X.Q. Qu, J.L. Wang
Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) can mediate the occurrence and development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The MMP3 promoter gene exhibits polymorphism with 5A/6A alleles. We investigated the correlation between the expression of MMP3 gene polymorphism and RA to provide an objective basis for prognosis evaluation. We enrolled.. Read More»

Pollen foraging in colonies of Melipona bicolor (Apidae, Meliponini): effects of season, colony size and queen number
Authors: S.D. Hil�¡rio and V.L. Imperatriz-Fonseca
We evaluated the ratio between the number of pollen foragers and the total number of bees entering colonies of Melipona bicolor, a facultative polygynous species of stingless bees. The variables considered in our analysis were: seasonality, colony size and the number of physogastric queens in each colony. The pollen forager ra.. Read More»

Sequential hygienic behavior in Carniolan honey bees (Apis mellifera carnica)
Authors: K.P. Gramacho and L.S. Gon�§alves
We examined the sequence, order or steps of hygienic behavior (HB) from pin-killed pupae until the removal of them by the bees. We conducted our study with four colonies of Apis mellifera carnica in Germany and made four repetitions. The pin-killing method was used for evaluation of the HB of bees. The data were collected ever.. Read More»

Development of polymorphic microsatellite markers and the population genetic structure of the half-fin anchovy, Setipinna taty
Authors: Y.N. Sun, Y. Qin, Z.H. Zhu and D.Q. Sun
Microsatellite markers for the half-fin anchovy Setipinna taty were developed from the enriched (CA)15 genomic library, and they were used for the population genetic studies of the half-fin anchovy from Chinese coastal areas. Samples were collected from five localities of the East China Sea and the Yellow S.. Read More»

Bombyx mori pylorus infection by Alphabaculovirus
Authors: M.P.D. Baggio, L.F.C. Ribeiro, S.A. Vessaro-Silva and R.M.C. Brancalh�£o
Alphabaculovirus is an entomopathogenic virus genus that infects Bombyx mori, which is known as the Bombyx mori multiple nucleopolyedrovirus (BmMNPV). This virus is polyorganotrophic, and a series of tissues are known as targets; however, there is currently no information regarding infection in the p.. Read More»

Development, characterization, and annotation of potential simple sequence repeats by transcriptome sequencing in pears (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai)
Authors: H. Zhou, B.H. Cai, Z.Q. L�¼, Z.H. Gao and Y.S. Qiao
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs), one of the most powerful molecular markers, can be used for DNA fingerprinting, variety identification, genetic mapping, and marker-assisted selection. Using the pear’s (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) 75,764 unigenes (55,676,271 bp) obtained by deep transcriptome sequencing, a total of 10,622 novel SSRs were identified in 915.. Read More»

Association between rs11001553 of DKK1 and non-syndromic tooth agenesis in the Chinese Han population
Authors: H.C. Liu, J. Zhang, S. Wong, D. Han, H.S. Zhao and H.L. Feng
Tooth agenesis is one of the most common anomalies of human dentition. Recent genetic studies have provided information regarding a number of genes related to both syndromic and non-syndromic forms of hypodontia. In a previous study, we found that polymorphism in rs11001553 of DKK1 was associated with hypodontia in th.. Read More»

Cloning and sequence analysis of the safflower betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase gene
Authors: Y.B. Wang, L.L. Guan, Y.W. Xu, H. Shen and W. Wu
In response to salinity or drought stress, many plants accumulate glycine betaine, which is a regulator of osmosis. In plants, the last step in betaine synthesis is catalyzed by betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH), a nuclear-encoded chloroplastic enzyme. Based on the conserved oligo amino acid residues of the published BADH .. Read More»

Prevalence of �²-lactamase classes A, C, and D among clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from a tertiary-level hospital in Bangkok, Thailand
Authors: C. Katvoravutthichai, K. Boonbumrung and R. Tiyawisutsri
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important causes of nosocomial infection and it has increasing resistance to many antimicrobial agents. β-lactamase production is the most frequent mechanism for β-lactam resistance in P. aeruginosa. We evaluated the prevalence of β-lactamase genes in P. aeruginosa for classes A, C, and D by polymer.. Read More»
