Authors: J. Jiang, B.L. Yang, T. Xia, S.M. Yu, Y.N. Wu, H. Jin and J.R. Li
Random amplified polymorphic DNA technology was used to analyze the genetic diversity of 25 salt-tolerant alfalfa varieties using 30 different primers. Results showed that the percentage of polymorphic loci between single-plant DNA was 81.52%, and that between mixed DNA of various varieties was 61.65%. Compared to the mixed DNA samples, single-plant DNA s.. Read More»

Distribution of Candida albicans in the oral cavity of children aged 3-5 years of Uygur and Han nationality and their genotype in caries-active groups
Authors: N. Wu, J. Lin, L. Wu and J. Zhao
We analyzed the distribution of Candida albicans in the oral cavity of 3-5-year-old children of Uygur and Han nationalities as well as their genotypes in caries-active groups in the Urumqi municipality. CHROMagar Candida was separately cultivated, and we identified 359 Uygur and Han children aged 3-5 years. We randomly selected 20 Han children and 20 Uygur c.. Read More»

Genetic affinities of central China populations.
Authors: H.Y. Zhou, H.W. Wang, S.N. Tan, Y. Chen, W.L. Wang, H.X. Tao, Z.C. Yin, Y.H. Zou, S.M. Ouyang and B. Ni
Hunan locates in the south-central part of China, to the south of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and south of Lake Dongting. According to the historical records, the peopling of Hunan by modern human ancestors can ascend to 40 thousand years ago. Thus, to trace the ancient maternal components can offer further insight..

Construction and analysis of a suppression subtractive hybridization library of regeneration-related genes in soybean
Authors: J. Sun, J. Li, M. Liu, B.B. Zhang, D.M. Li, M. Wang, C. Zhang,W.B. Li, A.Y. Su and X.X. Wu
The development of a genetic transformation system is needed to address the problem of the low efficiency associated with soybean regeneration. To contribute to the enhancement of the soybean regenerative capacity, we explored the developmental mechanisms of soybean regeneration at the molecular level using a suppression subtractive hybridization cDNA librar..

Association among XRCC1, XRCC3, and BLHX gene polymorphisms and chromosome instability in lymphocytes from patients with endometriosis and ovarian cancer
Authors: M.S. Monteiro, D.B. Vilas Boas, C.B. Gigliotti and D.M.F. Salvadori
Endometriosis is a complex disease that has both benign and malignant characteristics. It affects 5-10% of women of reproductive age. Studies have demonstrated the existence of common genetic changes in endometriosis and ovarian cancer, suggesting a possible association between these 2 diseases. However, the mechanisms that le..

Cumulative methylation alternations of gene promoters and protein markers for diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer
Authors: B.L. Xing, T. Li, Z.H. Tang, L. Jiao, S.M. Ge, X. Qiang and J. OuYang
DNA methylation plays an important role in carcinogenesis and cancer development. In this study, we examined gene methylation in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) using cationic conjugated polymer (CCP)-based fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to evaluate the application of cumulative methylation alternations of genes associated with cancer antig..

Genetic variability analysis of Zymomonas mobilis strains from the UFPEDA microorganisms collection
Authors: L.C.N. Silva, J.M. Ara�ºjo, J.L. Azevedo, R.J.S.A. Padilha and R. Yara
Zymomonas mobilis is a Gram-negative bacterium that has drawn attention in the bioethanol industry. Besides bioethanol, this bacterium also produces other biotechnological products such as levans, which show antitumor activity. Molecular studies involving Z. mobilis have advanced to the point that allows us to characterize interspecies genetic diversity a.. Read More»

Mitochondrial haplogroup D4 confers resistance and haplogroup B is a genetic risk factor for high-altitude pulmonary edema among Han Chinese
Authors: Y.J. Luo W.X. Gao S.Z. Li X.W. Huang Y. Chen F.Y. Liu Q.Y. Huang Y.Q. Gao
High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a life-threatening condition caused by acute exposure to high altitude. Accumulating evidence suggests that genetic factors play an important role in the etiology of HAPE. However, conclusions from association studies have been hindered by limited sample size due to the rareness of this disease. It is known that mitoch.. Read More»
