Assessing genetic diversity of cotton cultivars using genomic and newly developed expressed sequence tag-derived microsatellite markers
Authors: Y. Zhang, X.F. Wang, Z.K. Li, G.Y. Zhang and Z.Y. Ma
Estimations of genetic diversity and of relationships between varieties are crucial for cotton breeding. The genetic diversity of 59 core cotton cultivars, most of which were collected from China’s main cotton-growing areas, was analyzed based on genomic and newly developed expressed sequence tag-derived microsatellite m..

Leukemia/lymphoma-associated gene fusions in normal individuals
Authors: M.S. Brassesco
Hematopoietic neoplasias are characterized by recurrent chromosomal aberrations that result in the formation of gene fusions and the subsequent expression of chimeric proteins with unique properties. However, in recent years, different lymphoma/leukemia-associated rearrangements, such as BCR/ABL, IGH/BCL2, ETV6/RUNX1 and MLL d.. Read More»

Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis with subtelomere specific probes (12pter-15qter) showed no differences in deletion patterns between normotensive and essential hypertension
Authors: S.T. Onrat and A.G. Tomat�±r
Telomere biology is intimately linked to the genetic/environmental etiology of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and telomere shortening is emerging as an important biomarker disease. The relationship between subtelomeric deletions and genetic hypertension was examined. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to direct.. Read More»

Mixed models identify physic nut genotypes adapted to environments with different phosphorus availability
Authors: P.E. Teodoro, B.G. Laviola, L.D. Martins, J.F.T. Amaral and W.N. Rodrigues
The aim of this study was to screen physic nut (Jatropha curcas) genotypes that differ in their phosphorous (P) use, using mixed models. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse located in the experimental area of the Centro de Ciências Agrárias of the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, in Alegre, ES, Brazil. The experiment wa.. Read More»

Usefulness of the HMRPGV method for simultaneous selection of upland cotton genotypes with greater fiber length and high yield stability
Authors: F.J.C. Farias, L.P. Carvalho, J.L. Silva Filho and P.E. Teodoro
The harmonic mean of the relative performance of genotypic predicted value (HMRPGV) method has been used to measure the genotypic stability and adaptability of various crops. However, its use in cotton is still restricted. This study aimed to use mixed models to select cotton genotypes that simultaneously result in longer fiber length, higher fiber yield,.. Read More»

Heterogeneous evolution of Ty3-gypsy retroelements among bamboo species
Authors: M.M. An, C. Guo, P.P. Lin and M.B. Zhou
Ty3-gypsy long-terminal repeat retroelements are ubiquitously found in many plant genomes. This study reports the occurrence of heterogeneous Ty3-gypsy retroelements in four representative bamboo species: Phyllostachys heterocycla (Carr.) Mitford cv. pubescens, P. heterocycla (Carr.) Mitford cv. heterocycla, Dendrocalamopsis oldhami, and Pleioblastus fort.. Read More»

Development of two novel specific SCAR markers by cloning improved RAPD fragments from the medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidium (Leysser: Fr) Karst
Authors: M.A. Khan, J.L. Cheng, Z.Q. Mei, C.L. Wei and J.J. Fu
Development of sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers from random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fragments is a valuable molecular approach for the genetic identification of different species. By using SCAR markers, molecular analysis is reduced to a simple polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis using primers designed from the amplicon.. Read More»

Genetic evaluation of Jatropha curcas: an important oilseed for biodiesel production
Authors: R.G. Freitas, R.F. Missio, F.S. Matos, M.D.V. Resende and L.A.S. Dias
Jatropha curcas, internationally and locally known, respectively, as physic nut and pinhão manso, is a highly promising species for biodiesel production in Brazil and other countries in the tropics. It is rustic, grows in warm regions and is easily cultivated. These characteristics and high-quality oil yields from the s.. Read More»

Routine libraries for pattern recognition in quasispecies
Authors: E.A. Marucci, G.F.D. Zafalon, A.C.G. Jardim, L.H.T. Yamasaki,C. Bittar, P. Rahal and J.M. Machado
The results obtained through biological research usually need to be analyzed using computational tools, since manual analysis becomes unfeasible due to the complexity and size of these results. For instance, the study of quasispecies frequently demands the analysis of several, very lengthy sequences of nucleotides and amino ac.. Read More»

Heteroduplex formation and S1 digestion for mapping alternative splicing sites
Authors: E.N. Ferreira, M.C.R. Rangel, P.B. Pineda, D.O. Vidal, A.A. Camargo, S.J. Souza and D.M. Carraro
The identification of alternatively spliced transcripts has contributed to a better comprehension of developmental mechanisms, tissue-specific physiological processes and human diseases. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of alternatively spliced variants commonly leads to the formation of heteroduplexes as a result of ba.. Read More»
