Genetic analysis of the Venezuelan Criollo horse
Authors: E.G. Cothran, J.L. Canelon, C. Luis, E. Conant and R. Juras
Various horse populations in the Americas have an origin in Spain; they are remnants of the first livestock introduced to the continent early in the colonial period (16th and 17th centuries). We evaluated genetic variability within the Venezuelan Criollo horse and its relationship with other horse breeds. We observed high leve.. Read More»

Population genetic diversity and genetic structure of Spodoptera exigua around the Bohai Gulf area of China based on mitochondrial DNA signatures
Authors: L.-H. Zhou, X.-Y. Wang and J.-J. Lei
The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is an economically important pest that causes major losses in some main crop-producing areas of China. To control this pest effectively, it is necessary to investigate its population genetic diversity and genetic structure around the Bohai Gulf area of China. In this study, we used two mitocho..

Introgression of cotton leaf curl virus-resistant genes from Asiatic cotton (Gossypium arboreum) into upland cotton (G. hirsutum)
Authors: S. Ahmad, K. Mahmood, M. Hanif, W. Nazeer, W. Malik, A. Qayyum, K. Hanif, A. Mahmood and N. Islam
Cotton is under the constant threat of leaf curl virus, which is a major constraint for successful production of cotton in the Pakistan. A total of 3338 cotton genotypes belonging to different research stations were screened, but none were found to be resistant against the Burewala strain of cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV). We ..

Lactoferrin mRNA expression in mouse mammary glands during pregnancy and lactation
Authors: H.P. Li, X.L. Jiao, X.J. Wang, F.T. Liu, H.S. Zhu, Y.Y. Wang and G.Y. Yang
Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding glycoprotein that is produced by mucosal epithelial cells in mammals. Lf has non-immune natural defense functions and biological functions in addition to and distinct from its role in regulating inflammatory responses. Lf also improved some physiological a.. Read More»

New roles of filopodia and podosomes in the differentiation and fusion process of osteoclasts
Authors: R.L. Song, X.Z. Liu, J.Q. Zhu, J.M. Zhang, Q. Gao, H.Y. Zhao, A.Z. Sheng, Y. Yuan, J.H. Gu, H. Zou, Q.C. Wang and Z.P. Liu
The cytoskeleton mediates various cellular processes such as differentiation and fusion, including in the filopodia and podosomes. However, apart from cell migration and formation of the sealing zone, little is known regarding the changes and related regulatory mechanisms of the cytoskeleton and additional roles of the filopod..

Prevalence of cystathionine beta synthase gene mutation 852Ins68 as a possible risk for neural tube defects in eastern India
Authors: A.K. Saxena, J. Gupta, S. Pandey, A.N. Gangopadhaya and L.K. Pandey
Cystathionine beta synthase gene (CβS) catalyzes the condensation of homocysteine with serine, forming cystathionine by the transsulfuration pathway. Disruption of CβS enzyme activity due to defective folic acid metabolism increases the risk factor for neural tube defects. We evaluated the CβS gene mutation in 2.. Read More»

Meta-analysis of the relationship between p21 Ser31Arg polymorphism and lung cancer susceptibility
Authors: G. Lin, F. Fang, X.-J. Yu and L. Yu
The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (also known as p21) is thought to be involved in tumor development by mediating cell cycle arrest through the inhibition of cyclin/CDK activity. To explore the relationship of Ser31Arg polymorphism in the p21 gene with the risk of developing lung cancer, we performed an overall and stra.. Read More»

Esterase polymorphisms for analysis of genetic diversity and structure of soybean (Glycine max) cultivars
Authors: L.C. Valentini, C.A. Mangolin, S.A.O. Collet and M.F.P.S. Machado
We used native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to identify polymorphism levels in a- and b-esterase loci from leaf tissues of Brazilian soybean cultivars for the analysis of population genetic diversity and structure, and to investigate relationships between conventional and genetically modified cultivars. The cultivars inc.. Read More»

Population genetic structure of wild and hatchery black rockfish Sebastes inermis in Korea, assessed using cross-species microsatellite markers
Authors: H.S. An, E.-M. Kim, J.-H. Lee, J.K. Noh, C.M. An, S.J. Yoon, K.D. Park and J.-I. Myeong
The population structure of the black rockfish, Sebastes inermis (Sebastidae), was estimated using 10 microsatellite loci developed for S. schlegeli on samples of 174 individuals collected from three wild and three hatchery populations in Korea. Reduced genetic variation was detected in hatchery strains [overall number of alle.. Read More»

Non-invasive sex identification of the white-bellied sea eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) through genetic analysis of feathers
Authors: D.M. Naim, S.A.M. Nor and M.H. Baharuddin
The white-bellied sea eagle, Haliaeetus leucogaster, displays reversed sexual size dimorphism and is monomorphic for adult plumage coloration. Early attempts to identify sex in sexually monomorphic birds were based on morphological or chromosomal characters, but since avian W-specific DNA sequences were identified, PCR amplifi.. Read More»
