The success of the geographical distribution of goat populations around the world is a consequence of the adaptive potential of these breeds. Several relevant traits to the success of the species in colonizing different ecosystems (and use by man) evolved before domestication. These features were relevant for the selection of different breeds. Each breed represents .. Read More»

Identification of COL6A1 as a differentially expressed gene in human astrocytomas

A. Fujita, J.R. Sato, F. Festa, L.R. Gomes, S.M. Oba-Shinjo,S.K.N. Marie, C.E. Ferreira and M.C. Sogayar

Diffuse infiltrating gliomas are the most common tumors of the central nervous system. Gliomas are classified by the WHO according to their histopathological and clinical characteristics into four classes: grade I (pilocytic astrocytoma), grade II (diffuse astrocytoma), grade III (anaplastic astrocytoma), and grade IV (glioblastoma multiforme). Several genes have al.. Read More»

Novel and highly informative Capsicum SSR markers and their cross-species transferability

G.S.C. Buso, A.M.M. Reis, Z.P.S. Amaral and M.E. Ferreira

This study was undertaken primarily to develop new simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for Capsicum. As part of this project aimed at broadening the use of molecular tools in Capsicum breeding, two genomic libraries enriched for AG/TC repeat sequences were constructed for Capsicum annuum. A total of 475 DNA clones were sequenced from both libraries and 144 SSR markers were tested on cultivated.. Read More»

DBCollHIV: a database system for collaborative HIV analysis in Brazil

Luciano V. Araújo, Marcelo A. Soares, Suelene M. Oliveira, Pedro Chequer, Amilcar Tanuri, Ester C. Sabino and João E. Ferreira

We developed a database system for collaborative HIV analysis (DBCollHIV) in Brazil. The main purpose of our DBCollHIV project was to develop an HIV-integrated database system with analytical bioinformatics tools that would support the needs of Brazilian research groups for data storage and sequence analysis. Whenever authorized by the principal investigator, this s.. Read More»
