Authors: O.S. Silva Jr., N.L.F. Barros, A.S. Siqueira, E.C. Gon�§alves, D. N. Marques, S.P. Reis, and C.R.B. Souza
Our previous studies identified a Pseudomonas putida (Pt12 isolate) associated with roots of Piper tuberculatum Jacq., a Piperaceae occurring in the Amazon region with known resistance to infection by Fusarium solani f. sp. piperis, the causal agent of root rot disease in black pepper (Piper nigrum L.). This Pt12 isolate was a.. Read More»

One-Step RT-qPCR assay for detection and quantification of equine infectious anemia virus in-vitro
Authors: B.L. Bueno, F.G. Oliveira, G.K. Lima1, A.A. Fonseca J�ºnior, T.C. Kassar, R.J.F. C�¢mara, R.C. Leite and J.K.P. Reis
Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) infection often results in an initial febrile response, followed by recurrent cycles of the disease and finally, a prolonged asymptomatic period. These variations in clinical signs are due to a number of factors, including virus strain, equid species and differences in susceptibility among.. Read More»

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main risk factor for cervical cancer. However, other risk factors include smoking and genetic susceptibility. Glutathione-S-Transferases (GST) is enzymes involved in tobacco carcinogens metabolism and genes encoding these enzymes are highly polymorphic. The objective of this study wa.. Read More»

In silico identification and target prediction of micrornas in Sesame (sesamum indicum L.) expressed sequence tags
Authors: Halak Joshi and M. K. Mandavia
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), a member of the Pedaliaceae family, is one of the oldest oilseed crops. For its high oil content, it is known as the “queen of oilseeds”. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of endogenous non-coding small RNAs that play important roles in multiple biological processes by degrading targ.. Read More»

How efficiently Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) identify prolificity-determining genes in sheep
Authors: Magda V Benavides, Carlos Jos�© H Souza, Jos�© Carlos F. Moraes
Genome wide association studies are performed to narrow down or, better still, pinpoint the region or genes involved in the regulation of a known phenotype. The data concerning litter size usually comes from a restrict number of individuals due to the laborious and costly nature of the phenotyping by lambing data of several br.. Read More»
