Genome sequence compression based on optimized context weighting
Authors: M. Chen, J.J. Shao and X.M. Jia
Context weighting is an important technology for genome compression. In this study, we discuss the relationship between the weighting of context models and the weighting of the description lengths corresponding to their respective context models. It indicates that weighting of context models is equivalent to the weighting of t.. Read More»

CYP4F2 gene single nucleotide polymorphism is associated with ischemic stroke
Authors: H.-Q. Yan, Y. Yuan, P. Zhang, Z. Huang, L. Chang and Y.-K. Gui
The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between CYP4F2 gene polymorphism and ischemic stroke (IS) in the Han Chinese population. We performed a case-control study to genotype four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs2108622, rs3093100, rs3093105, rs3093135) in the CYF4F2 gene. The genotype and haplotype distributions were compare.. Read More»

Comparison of a retrotransposon-based marker with microsatellite markers for discriminating accessions of Vitis vinifera
Authors: G.C. Santâ��Ana, J.L. Ferreira, H.S. Rocha, A. Bor�©m, M. Pasqual and G.M.A. Can�§ado
Identification and knowledge concerning genetic diversity are fundamental for efficient management and use of grapevine germplasm. Recently, new types of molecular markers have been developed, such as retrotransposon-based markers. Because of their multilocus pattern, retrotransposon-based markers might be able to differentiat..

Identification of hub genes and pathways associated with retinoblastoma based on co-expression network analysis
Authors: Q.L. Wang, X. Chen, M.H. Zhang, Q.H. Shen, Z.M. Qin
The objective of this paper was to identify hub genes and pathways associated with retinoblastoma using centrality analysis of the co-expression network and pathway-enrichment analysis. The co-expression network of retinoblastoma was constructed by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) based on differentially ex.. Read More»

Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with growth traits in Jinghai yellow chickens
Authors: M.A. Abdalhag,T. Zhang, Q.C. Fan, X.Q. Zhang, G.X. Zhang, J.Y. Wang, Y. Wei,Y.J. Wang
Body weight is one of the most important economic traits in the poultry industry. In the present study, a custom SNP Beadchip was used to analyze the association between those 15 SNPs and 12 growth traits of Jinghai yellow chickens, and other important genetic parameters were also calculated and analyzed. The results indicated.. Read More»

Uneven evolutionary rate of the melatonin-related receptor gene (GPR50) in primates
Authors: Y. Zhang, H.Q. Li, Y.F. Yao, W. Liu, Q.Y. Ni, M.W. Zhang and H.L. Xu1,
The melatonin-related receptor GPR50 plays an important role in mammalian adaptive thermogenesis in response to calorie intake. The evolutionary history of the GPR50 gene is poorly understood in primates; however, it has been reported that GPR50 is the mammalian ortholog of Mel1c, which has been well characterized. In this study, the complete coding sequence.. Read More»

Screening of molecular markers linked to dwarf trait in crape myrtle by bulked segregant analysis
Authors: Y.J. Ye, Y. Liu, M. Cai, D. He, J.S. Shen, Y.Q. Ju, X.M. Bian,H.T. Pan and Q.X. Zhang
Plant height is one of the most important traits of plant architecture as it modulates both economic and ornamental values. Crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica L.) is a popular ornamental woody plant because of its long-lasting mid-summer bloom, rich colors, and diversified plant architecture. These traits also make it an ideal model of woody species for g.. Read More»

Allele frequencies of microsatellite loci for genetic characterization of a Sicilian bovine population
Authors: M. Cosenza, S. Reale, T. Lupo, F. Vitale and S. Caracappa
Short tandem repeats are used as an effective method to trace DNA markers in genotyping. Using a standardized kit, we tested 11 microsatellite markers recommended by the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) in a sample of 495 Sicilian cattle. The aim of this study was to investigate the allele frequencies in the Sicilian cattle population to prov.. Read More»
