Characterization and development of 56 EST-SSR markers derived from the transcriptome of Odontobutis potamophila

Expressed sequence tags (ETSs) are the sources of microsatellite development. In this study, we isolated and characterized microsatellite markers for Odontobutis potamophila by using Illumina RNA-sequencing. We sequenced a large number of ESTs and screened 200 potential microsatellites. Consequently, a total of 56 novel polymorphic mic.. Read More»

Targeting of miR-432 to myozenin1 to regulate myoblast proliferation and differentiation

    R.M. Ren, H. Liu, S.H. Zhao and J.H. Cao

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the development and biochemical functions of skeletal muscles. However, targeting of miRNAs to structural genes involved in Z-discs have not been investigated. Here, we describe a highly expressed miRNA, miR-432, in pig embryonic skeletal muscle, which appeared to target myozenin1 (MYOZ1), a protein involved in the muscular.. Read More»

Association between HLA-A and -B polymorphisms and susceptibility to Henoch-Sch�?¶nlein purpura in Han and Mongolian children from Inner Mongolia

    S.M. Ren, G.L. Yang, C.Z. Liu, C.X. Zhang, Q.H. Shou, S.F. Yu, W.C. Li and X.L. Su

We examined a possible association between HLA-A and -B polymorphisms and susceptibility to Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) in Han and Mongolian children in Inner Mongolia, through a case-control study. Two hundred and sixty-eight unrelated children were enrolled, including 56 Mongolian and 50 Han children with HSP, 66 healthy Mongolian and 96 healthy Han childr.. Read More»
