Molecular cloning and expression pattern of the porcine 5-aminolevulinate synthase 1 (ALAS1) gene and its association with reproductive traits
Authors: L.Q. Liu1, F.E. Li2 and C.Y. Deng2
5-Aminolevulinate synthase 1 (ALAS1) is the first enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway and is upregulated in follicular tissue during the early stages of ovulation. In this study, we isolated the complete coding sequence of the porcine ALAS1 gene and its 2-9 intron sequence, identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; T/C) in intron 9, and develo..

Monosomy 1p36 syndrome: reviewing the correlation between deletion sizes and phenotypes
Authors: C.F. Rocha1, R.B. Vasques2, S.R. Santos1 and C.L.A. Paiva1,3
The major clinical features of monosomy 1p36 deletion are developmental delay and hypotonia associated with short stature and craniofacial dysmorphisms. The objective of this study was to review the cases of 1p36 deletion that was reported between 1999 and 2014, in order to identify a possible correlation between the size of the 1p36-deleted segment and t..

Differential expression of the lethal gene Luteus-Pa in cacao of the Parinari series
Authors: B.C. Rehem1, A.-A.F. Almeida1, G.S.F. Figueiredo1, A.S. Gesteira2, S.C. Santos1, R.X. Corr�ªa1, M.M. Yamada3 and R.R. Valle3
The recessive lethal character Luteus-Pa is found in cacao (Theobroma cacao) genotypes of the Parinari series (Pa) and is characterized by expression of leaf chlorosis and seedling death. Several genotypes of the Pa series are bearers of the gene responsible for the expression of the Luteus-Pa character, which can be used as a tool for determining relatio.. Read More»

Proteomic analysis identifies differentially expressed proteins participating in forming Type III brush hair in Yangtze River Delta white goat
Authors: B. Yang, M.Y. Cai, Y.J. Li, H. Zhang, G.H. Cheng, J.H. Zhang, G.J. Zhang, W.T. Li and D.J. Ji
The Yangtze River Delta white goat is a goat breed that can produce high quality brush hair (Type III hair) around the world. This study aimed to compare Type III hair and non-Type III hair goat skin tissues using differentially expressed proteins based on 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis technology. The differentially expressed protein spots were analyz.. Read More»

SNPs at 3'-UTR of the bovine CDIPT gene associated with Qinchuan cattle meat quality traits
Authors: C.Z. Fu H. Wang C.G. Mei J.L. Wang B.J. Jiang X.H Ma H.B. Wang G. Cheng L.S. Zan
As the most ancient member of the wheat gluten family, the Ã?³-gliadin genes are suitable for phylogenetic analysis among wheat and related species. Species in the grass genus Dasypyrum have been widely used for wheat cross breeding. However, the genomic relationships among Dasypyrum species have been little studied. We isolated 22 novel Ã?³-gliadin gene s.. Read More»

Genetic diversity among red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) populations in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River based on AFLP markers
Authors: B.F. Zhu Y. Huang Y.G. Dai C.W. Bi C.Y. Hu
The red swamp crayfish has become one of the most important freshwater aquaculture species in China. At present, although it is widely distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangze River basin, little is known about its population genetics and geographic distribution in China. We estimated the genetic diversity among 6 crayfish populations from 4.. Read More»

Brazilian strain of bovine respiratory coronavirus is derived from dual enteric and respiratory tropism
Authors: E.A. Beuttemmuller, A.F. Alfieri, S.A. Headley and A.A. Alfieri
Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is a pathogen related to enteric and respiratory diseases in cattle worldwide. Enteric (BECoV) strains of BCoV are predominant in South America, and genetic investigations have been conducted to identify its relationship with isolates of respiratory origin (BRCoV). In this study, we used a BRCoV strai.. Read More»

Molecular phylogeny of the Bactrian camel based on mitochondrial Cytochrome b gene sequences
Authors: L. Ming, L. Yi, FC. Guo, S. Siriguleng and J. Jirimutu
The Bactrian camel is an important domesticated animal providing milk, meat, and other products in desert countries. In this study, 111 individuals representing 11 domestic Bactrian camel breeds from China, Mongolia, Russia, and one wild Bactrian camel group from Mongolia were selected for the preparation of mitochondrial DNA. The 1140-bp fragments of the.. Read More»

Expression of the ROR�± gene in Inner Mongolian cashmere goat hair follicles
Authors: Y.H. Zhao, Z.H. Liu, L. Wang, H.M. Xiao, C.G. Du, Y.J. Zhang,R. Su and J.Q. Li
The expression of retinoid-acid-related orphan receptor Ã?± (RORÃ?±) was evaluated at the mRNA level using real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and its expression localization was determined by in situ hybridization of adult Inner Mongolian cashmere goats at different times of the year. In situ hybridization demonstrated that RORÃ?±was expressed.. Read More»

Authors: Z.B. Li, Y.S. Huang, J.B. Shangguan, Y.F. Ning, Y. Yi and G. Dai
Branchiostoma belcheri Gray is a second-class, nationally protected protochordate in China. We developed 10 novel polymorphic sites in B. belcheri, which were examined using a population of 30 wild individuals from Xiamen, China. The polymorphism information content ranged between 0.141 and 0.681, and the number of alleles varied from 2 to 5. The expected.. Read More»
