Analysis of polymorphisms in milk proteins from cloned and sexually reproduced goats
Authors: H. Xing, B. Shao, Y.Y. Gu, Y.G. Yuan, T. Zhang, J. Zang, Y. Cheng
This study evaluates the relationship between the genotype and milk protein components in goats. Milk samples were collected from cloned goats and normal white goats during different postpartum (or abortion) phases. Two cloned goats, originated from the same somatic line of goat mammary gland epithelial cells, and three sexual.. Read More»

Avian sarcoma and leukosis virus gag gene - Genet. Mol. Res. 14 (4): 14379-14386 â??Avian sarcoma and leukosis virus gag gene in the Anser anser domesticus genomeâ?
Authors: D. Elleder and J. Hejnar
Dear Editor, A recent paper in the GMR Journal (Zhu et al., 2015) reported the discovery of endogenous avian sarcoma and leukosis virus (enASLV) in the domestic goose (Anser anser domesticus) genome. The discovery was based on PCR detection of a single viral gene (gag). This would be a very surprising finding, as ASLV-related endogenous retroviruses have .. Read More»

Reply to commentary by D. Elleder and J. Hejnar on the article â??Avian sarcoma and leukosis virus gag gene in the Anser anser domesticus genomeâ? published in Genetics and Molecular Research 14 (4): 14379-14386 to the letter published in Genet. Mol. Res. 15 (1): gmr.15014956
Authors: Y.P. Liu
Dear Editor, I should thank to the questioner and these questions are very valuable. Here, I want to give some opinions for it. In letter, questioner mentions that the gag sequences we got are too homologous with chicken sequence, unlike other Galliformes birds. Actually, endogenous avian sarcoma and leukosis virus (enASLV) sequences are variable in the G.. Read More»

Cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of fluoxetine hydrochloride (Prozac), with or without vitamins A and C, in plant and animal model systems
Authors: E. D?¼sman, I.V. Almeida, R.G. Mariucci, M.S. Mantovani andV.E.P. Vicentini
Fluoxetine, commonly known as Prozac, is the first representative of the so-called new generation of antidepressants that promise efficacy, with few side effects, against deep depression, nervous bulimia, and anxiety. As there is a growing number of people suffering from anxiety and depression; consequently, the use of fluoxet.. Read More»

Body color development and genetic analysis of hybrid transparent crucian carp (Carassius auratus)
Authors: W. Xu, G.X. Tong, L.W. Geng and H.F. Jiang
The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic mechanism of the transparent trait in transparent crucian carp. We observed body color development in transparent crucian carp larvae and analyzed heredity of color in hybrids produced with red crucian carp, ornamental carp, and red purse carp. The results showed that the body color of the newly hatched.. Read More»

Does beekeeping reduce genetic variability in Melipona scutellaris (Apidae, Meliponini)?
Authors: G.A. Carvalho-Zilse, M.F.F. Costa-Pinto, C.G. Nunes-Silva, W.E. Kerr
Many factors have contributed to reductions in wild populations of stingless bees, such as: deforestation, displacement and destruction of nests by honey gatherers, as well as use of insecticides and other agrochemicals. All of these can potentially affect the populational structure of native species. We analyzed genetic varia.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and expression analysis of TRAF3 in chicken
Authors: H.L. Yang, Z.Q. Feng, S.Q. Zeng, S.M. Li, Q. Zhu and Y.P. Liu
Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 3 (TRAF3) is a crucial regulator that suppresses c-Jun N-terminal kinase and non-canonical nuclear factor-kB signaling, but facilitates type I interferon production. To determine TRAF3 function in innate immune responses among birds, particularly chicken, we cloned and characterized the chicken TRAF3 gene (.. Read More»

Characterization and expression of DDX6 during gametogenesis in the Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis
Authors: Q. Li, Y.L. Wang, J. Xie, W.J. Sun, M. Zhu, L. He and Q. Wang
DDX6 belongs to a family of DEAD-box RNA helicases, which are RNA splicing proteins that ensure the correct folding and structure of mature RNA. Gametogenesis requires the participation of many kinds of RNA. To explore its functions during Eriocheir sinensis gametogenesis, we cloned a full-length DDX6 cDNA sequence from E. sinensis (Es-DDX6) which contain.. Read More»
