Polymorphic microsatellite loci for the razor clam, Sinonovacula constricta
Authors: H.-T. Ma, H.-B. Jiang, X.-Q. Liu, X.-P. Wu and X.-M Wei
The razor clam, Sinonovacula constricta, is an important commercial bivalve and a popular mollusca food in China. Twelve polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated from the razor clam using a partial genomic library enriched for tandem repeat sequences of (CA)16, (GA)16. Polymorphisms of these loci were evaluated in a wild population of 30 individua.. Read More»

A novel COL7A1 mutation in a Korean patient with Hallopeau-Siemens recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa
Authors: J. Park H. Chae M. Kim Y. Kim I.Y. Park J.C. Shin Y.M. Park
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is an inherited skin fragility disorder that presents various clinical manifestations. DEB is characterized by separation of sublamina densa tissue and abnormalities in the anchoring fibrils that result from mutations in COL7A1 and subsequent defects in type VII collagen. A 16-month-old boy was diagnosed with Hallopeau-.. Read More»

Molecular cytogenetic characterization of the Aegilops biuncialis karyotype
Authors: J. Wang W. Zhang H. Zhao F.R. Li Z.G. Wang J. Ji X.Q. Zhang D.W. Wang J.M. Li
Aegilops biuncialis can be hybridized with wheat (Triticum spp) and has been used for wheat breeding and genetic studies. The A. biuncialis karyotype (Ub Ub Mb Mb) was investigated based on three A. biuncialis accessions grown in China. Two pairs of SAT chromosomes were identified as 1Ub and 5Ub, with a karyotype formula of 2n = 4x = 28 = 14m + 10sm + 4st. F.. Read More»

Bioinformatic analysis of phage AB3, a phiKMV-like virus infecting Acinetobacter baumannii
Authors: J. Zhang, X. Liu and X.-J. Li
The phages of Acinetobacter baumannii has drawn increasing attention because of the multi-drug resistance of A. baumanni. The aim of this study was to sequence Acinetobacter baumannii phage AB3 and conduct bioinformatic analysis to lay a foundation for genome remodeling and phage therapy. We isolated and sequenced A. baumannii phage AB3 and attempted to a.. Read More»

Microsatellite markers linked to the locus of the watermelon fruit stripe pattern
Authors: R.N.C.S. Gama, C.A.F. Santos, R.C.S. Dias, J.C.S.F. Alves and T.O. Nogueira
Agronomic performance and external and internal appearance of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) fruit are important traits that should be taken into consideration during the development of a new cultivar, as well as being the principal identification elements used by the consumer, which are based on the external appearance and quality of the fruit. Externally, .. Read More»

Intraflagellar transport complex in Leishmania spp. In silico genome-wide screening and annotation of gene function
Authors: Gouveia JJS, Vasconcelos EJR, Pacheco ACL, Ara�ºjo-Filho R, Maia ARS, Kamimura MT, Costa MP, Viana DA, Costa RB , Maggioni R and Oliveira DM
Flagella are constructed and maintained through the highly conserved process of intraflagellar transport (IFT), which is a rapid movement of particles along the axonemal microtubules of cilia/ flagella. Particles that are transported by IFT are composed of several protein subunits comprising two complexes (A and B), which are .. Read More»

Genome-wide partial correlation analysis of Escherichia coli microarray data
Authors: Veiga DFT, Vicente FFR, Grivet M, de la Fuente A and Vasconcelos ATR
Transcriptional control is an essential regulatory mechanism employed by bacteria. Much about transcriptional regulation remains to be discovered, even for the most widely studied bacterium, Escherichia coli. In the present study, we made a genome-wide loworder partial correlation analysis of E. coli microarray data with the p.. Read More»

Meiotic behavior of a nonaploid accession endorses x = 6 for Brachiaria humidicola (Poaceae)
Authors: K.R. Boldrini, M.S. Pagliarini and C.B. Valle
Brachiaria humidicola (Poaceae), originally from Africa, is an economically important pasture plant in tropical South America. An accession of B. humidicola (H038) collected from the wild African savanna (Mbeya, Tanzania) showed irregular microsporogenesis. This meiotic behavior was consistent with an allopolyploid origin. Mul.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci for Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook
Authors: Y.X. Li, Z.S. Wang, J.K. Sui, Y.F. Zeng, A.G. Duan and J.G. Zhang
As a result of human activities, wild populations of Cunninghamia lanceolata (Cupressaceae) have sharply declined in recent years. The development and implementation of a valid conservation strategy require a clear understanding of the genetic makeup of this species. Eleven polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from samples of 52.. Read More»

First transcriptional survey of the Malpighian tubules of giant mealworm, Zophobas morio (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)
Authors: J.R. Silva, R.A. Prado, D.T. Amaral and V.R. Viviani
The Malpighian tubules play a key role in insect osmoregulation. Although a transcriptional analysis has been done for the Malpighian tubules in Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera), no functional genomics analysis has yet been carried out for any Coleoptera species. Recently, we constructed a cDNA library from Malpighian tubules of larval Zophobas morio, a .. Read More»
