Due to next-generation sequence technologies, sequencing of bacterial genomes is no longer one of the main bottlenecks in bacterial research and the number of new genomes deposited in public databases continues to increase at an accelerating rate. Among these new genomes, several belong to the same species and were generated for pan-genomic studies. A pan.. Read More»

Presence of chromatoid bodies in the Rhodnius genus detected by cytochemical analysis
Authors: K.C.C. Alevi, N.F.C. Castro, J. Oliveira, J.A. Rosa and M.T.V. Azeredo-Oliveira
In addition to the epidemiological importance regarding the transmission of Chagas disease, triatomines are also important biological models for cellular studies, because they have holocentric chromosomes, post-reductional meiosis for sex chromosomes, and nucleolar persistence. Although the nucleolus is present during spermiog.. Read More»

Microsatellite usefulness is independent of phylogenetic distance in Tyrant flycatchers (Aves: Tyrannidae): a test using two globally threatened species
Authors: B. Mahler, A.R.R. Schneider, A.S. Di Giacomo, A.G. Di Giacomo, J.C. Reboreda and R. Tiedemann
Tyrant flycatchers (Aves: Tyrannidae) are endemic to the New World, and many species of this group are threatened or near-threatened at the global level. The aim of this study was to test the 18 microsatellite markers that have been published for other Tyrant flycatchers in the Strange-tailed Tyrant (Alectrurus risora) and the Sharp-tailed Tyrant (Culiciv..

Genetic diversity of the endangered scaly-sided merganser (Mergus squamatus) in the wintering habitat of central-southern China
Authors: Z.-Q. Zhang, C.-J. Qin, D.-A. Fang, A.-P. Wang and C.-H. Luo and K. Liu
The scaly-sided merganser (Mergus squamatus), found in temperate East Asia, has been reduced to a very small population. Central and southern China are its main wintering habitat. However, populations have declined greatly since the 1980s due to habitat loss and degradation, and poaching. To meet the urgent need for up-to-date conservation information, we.. Read More»

CASP-9 gene functional polymorphisms and cancer risk: a large-scale association study plus meta-analysis
Authors: Z.Y. Zhang, Y. Xuan, X.Y. Jin, X. Tian and R. Wu
We investigated the association between CASP-9 polymorphisms and susceptibility to neoplasm. Fourteen studies with a total of 2733 neoplasm cases and 3352 healthy controls were included. Meta-analysis showed that the rs4645981*T allele and the rs4645981*T allele carrier were positively associated with neoplasm susceptibility [odds ratio (OR) = 1.43, 95% c.. Read More»

Development and characterization of new microsatellites for Eugenia dysenterica DC (Myrtaceae)
Authors: M.P.C. Telles, J.B. Silva, L.V. Resende, R.P. Vianello, L.J. Chaves, T.N. Soares and R.G. Collevatti
Microsatellite markers were developed for population genetic analyses of the Neotropical tree Eugenia dysenterica DC (Myrtaceae), after construction of a shotgun genomic library for microsatellite discovery. Nine primers were designed, of which 5 yielded amplified product. These primers were polymorphic for 97 individuals collected in 3 distinct localitie.. Read More»

In vitro development of cloned bovine embryos produced by handmade cloning using somatic cells from distinct levels of cell culture confluence
Authors: R.P.C. Gerger, E.S. Ribeiro, F. Forell, L.R. Bertolini, J.L. Rodrigues, C.E. Ambr�³sio, M.A. Miglino, A. Mezzalira and M. Bertolini
The relationship between the level of cell confluence near the plateau phase of growth and blastocyst yield following somatic cell cloning is not well understood. We examined the effect of distinct cell culture confluence levels on in vitro development of cloned bovine embryos. In vitro-matured bovine oocytes were manually bis.. Read More»

Genetic background of Citrus nobilis Lour. �Gonggan� based on the chloroplast trnL gene
Authors: Y.-J. Guo, Q.-H. Ji, X.-Q. Zhou, Y.-P. Hu, L.-Y. Guo, H. Jiang and J.-W. Zeng
The genetic backgrounds of many Citrus varieties are quite complex. Classifications and phylogenetic relationships of Citrus species have become the focus of researchs. Some conserved genes of chloroplast genome’s research have been proven effective in determining the biosources of hybrids and phylogenetic analysis. Thus, we studied variations among.. Read More»

Interpretation of electrophoretograms of seven microsatellite loci to determine the genetic diversity of the Arabian Oryx
Authors: I.A. Arif, H.A. Khan, M. Shobrak, A.A. Al Homaidan, M. Al Sadoon, A.H. Al Farhan and A.H. Bahkali
Microsatellite markers are commonly used for examining population structure, especially inbreeding, outbreeding and gene flow. An array of microsatellite loci, preferably with multiallelic presentation, is preferable for ensuring accurate results. However, artifact peaks or stutters in the electrophoretograms significantly ham.. Read More»

Relationships among lipid peroxidation, SOD enzyme activity, and SOD gene expression profile in Lycopersicum esculentum L. exposed to cold stress
Authors: S. Soydam Aydin, �°. B�¼y�¼k and S. Aras
The current study was designed to evaluate lipid peroxidation (via malondialdehyde) levels, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene expression profile, and SOD enzyme activity in tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) subjected to different time periods of cold stress (control, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 days). Results revealed that maximum lipid peroxidation occ.. Read More»
