Development of swine-specific DNA markers for biosensor-based halal authentication
Authors: M.E. Ali, U. Hashim, M. Kashif, S. Mustafa, Y.B. Che Man and S.B. Abd Hamid
The pig (Sus scrofa) mitochondrial genome was targeted to design short (15-30 nucleotides) DNA markers that would be suitable for biosensor-based hybridization detection of target DNA. Short DNA markers are reported to survive harsh conditions in which longer ones are degraded into smaller fragments. The whole swine mitochondr.. Read More»

Hsp110 expression changes in rat primary myocardial cells exposed to heat stress in vitro
Authors: Z.J. Liu, Y.J. Lv, M. Zhang, Z.H. Yue, S. Tang, A. Islam, B. Rehana, E.D. Bao and J. Hartung
We investigated and described the kinetics of heat shock protein (Hsp) 110 expression and distribution in rat primary myocardial cells exposed to heat stress in vitro. After incubation at 37°C for 72 h, myocardial cells were heat stressed at 42°C for 0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 120, 240, 360, and 480 min. Significant increases .. Read More»

Luteinizing hormone receptor splicing variants in bovine Leydig cells
Authors: T.H. Ma, Q.H. Xiong, B. Yuan, H. Jiang, Y. Gao, J.B. Xu, S.Y. Liu, Y. Ding, G.L. Zhang, Y.M. Zhao and J.B. Zhang
The luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) plays a key role in testosterone production through its interaction with the gonadotropins, LH and chorionic gonadotropin. We examined the LHR splicing pattern in bovine Leydig cells; LH-induced expression of eight cloned splicing variants was detected by real-time PCR. Luteinizing hormon.. Read More»

Microsatellite analysis of genetic diversity and genetic structure in five consecutive breeding generations of mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi (Basilewsky)
Authors: T.L. Yi, W.J. Guo, X.F. Liang, M. Yang, L.Y. Lv, C.X. Tian, Y. Song, C. Zhao and J. Sun
In this report, 10 polymorphic microsatellites were applied to assess the genetic diversity and genetic differentiation of 5 consecutive breeding generations of mandarin fish, Siniperca chuatsi (Basilewsky). The results from total number of alleles, average polymorphism information content, and average homozygosity and heterozygosity showed that the genet.. Read More»

Analysis of carcass and meat quality traits and nutritional values of hybrid wild boars under different crossing systems
Authors: S.-H. Zhang, L.-Y. Shen, J. Luo, Z.-H. Wu, Y.-Z. Jiang, G.-Q. Tang,M.-Z. Li, L. Bai, X.-W. Li and L. Zhu
The aim of this study was to analyze the results of two crossing systems between wild boars and different domesticated pig breeds. Hybrid wild boars were produced by crossing captured wild boars with Meishan pigs and LY sows according to the traditional production system. The resultant commercial hybrids were black and white in coat color, respectively. S.. Read More»

Comparative application of direct sequencing, PCR-RFLP, and cytogenetic markers in the genetic characterization of Pimelodus (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae) species: Possible implications for fish conservation
Authors: M. Ferreira, K.C.O. Bressane, A.R.C. Moresco, O. Moreira-Filho, L.F. Almeida-Toledo and C. Garcia
Pimelodus (Pimelodidae) is a genus comprising a group of South American species with complex taxonomic relationships. Cytogenetics, polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), and sequencing data of mitochondrial genes were analyzed to characterize 4 Pimelodus species: P. fur, P. heraldoi, P...

Growth hormone polymorphisms and growth traits in Chinese Tibetan sheep Ovis aries
Authors: Y.C. Han, Y.G. Sun and Q. Li
Growth hormone (GH) plays an important role in promoting growth, protein and muscle accretion, and fat catabolism, suggesting that GH is a potential candidate gene affecting growth traits in vertebrates. In this paper, polymorphisms in GH were investigated in 632 Chinese Tibetan sheep, by using DNA sequencing. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms were id.. Read More»

Trans-translation ensures timely initiation of DNA replication and DnaA synthesis in Escherichia coli
Authors: W. Wurihan, W. Wunier, H. Li, L.F. Fan and M. Morigen
The trans-translation pathway, mediated by the transfer messenger RNA (tmRNA; encoded by the ssrA gene) and the SmpB protein (tmRNA-binding protein expressed in Salmonella enterica), which is conserved in bacteria, is required for various cellular processes. A previous study has shown that trans-translation is required to ensu.. Read More»
