Genetic characterization of heat tolerant tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) genotypes by SRAP and RAPD markers
Authors: N. Comlekcioglu, O. Simsek, M. Boncuk and Y. Aka-Kacar
We employed RAPD and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers to evaluate polymorphisms in 15 tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) genotypes that were obtained from a tomato breeding program. Four local tomato genotypes selected from the Sanliurfa province (Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey), 10 heat-tolerant tomat.. Read More»

Transposable elements in Phyllostachys pubescens (Poaceae) genome survey sequences and the full-length cDNA sequences, and their association with simple-sequence repeats
Authors: M.B. Zhou, X.M. Liu, and D.Q. Tang
Phyllostachys pubescens is a woody bamboo with the highest ecological, economic, and cultural values of all bamboos in Asia. There is more genomic data available for P. pubescens than for any other bamboo species, including 2.12-Mb genome survey sequences (GSS) and 11.4-Mb full-length cDNA sequences (FL-cDNAs) currently deposi..

Methylation status and chromatin structure of the myostatin gene promoter region in the sea perch Lateolabrax japonicus (Perciformes)
Authors: E.M. Abbas, A. Takayanagi, N. Shimizu and M. Kato
Myostatin is a negative regulator of the growth and development of skeletal muscle mass. In fish, myostatin is expressed in several organs in addition to skeletal muscle. To understand the mechanisms regulating myostatin gene expression in the sea perch, Lateolabrax japonicus, we examined the methylation status of the myostatin gene promoter region in sev.. Read More»

Development of a DNA-based vaccine strategy against bovine papillomavirus infection, involving the E5 or L2 gene
Authors: E.G. Lima, R.C. Lira, A.L.S. Jesus, R. Dhalia and A.C. Freitas
Papillomaviruses are known to cause tumor lesions, generally benign, in epithelial tissues of diverse organisms; these lesions may progress to cancer under suitable conditions. Bovine papillomavirus (BPV) can cause urinary bladder cancer and cancer of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, BPV1 and BPV2 are implicated .. Read More»

Phylogenetic analysis of endophytic bacterial isolates from leaves of the medicinal plant Trichilia elegans A. Juss. (Meliaceae)
Authors: S.A. Rhoden, A. Garcia, M.C. Santos e Silva, J.L. Azevedo and J.A. Pamphile
Various organisms such as fungi and bacteria can live inside plants, inhabiting the aerial parts (primarily the leaves) without causing damage. These microorganisms, called endophytes, produce an extensive variety of compounds that can be useful for medical and agronomic purposes. Trichilia elegans A. Juss., belonging to the Meliaceae family, shows wide d.. Read More»

An efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi
Authors: M.A. Moslem, A.H. Bahkali, K.A. Abd-Elsalam and P.J.G.M. Wit
We developed an efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi, which are important fungal plant pathogens. The cell wall of Cladosporioid fungi is often melanized, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from their cells. In order to overcome this we grew these fungi for three days on agar plates and extracted D.. Read More»

Selection of DNA barcoding loci for Nepeta deflersiana Schweinf. ex Hedge from chloroplast and nuclear DNA genomes
Authors: F. Al-Qurainy, S. Khan, M. Nadeem, M. Tarroum and A.R.Z. Gaafar
Molecular markers, mainly DNA-based are potential tools for DNA barcoding and phylogenetic study. The plant species belonging to the Nepeta genus have important medicinal value because of the presence of nepetalactones, and they have been used to treat human diseases. We amplified nuclear and chloroplast gene loci to develop a.. Read More»

DNA genetic artificial fish swarm constant modulus blind equalization algorithm and its application in medical image processing
Authors: Y.C. Guo, H. Wang and B.L. Zhang
This study proposes use of the DNA genetic artificial fish swarm constant modulus blind equalization algorithm (DNA-G-AFS-CMBEA) to overcome the local convergence of the CMBEA. In this proposed algorithm, after the fusion of the fast convergence of the AFS algorithm and the global search capability of the DNA-G algorithm to dr.. Read More»

A new approach for cloning hLIF cDNA from genomic DNA isolated from the oral mucous membrane
Authors: Y.H. Cui, G.Q. Zhu, Q.J. Chen, Y.F. Wang, M.M. Yang, Y.X. Song, J.G. Wang and B.Y. Cao
Complementary DNA (cDNA) is valuable for investigating protein structure and function in the study of life science, but it is difficult to obtain by traditional reverse transcription. We employed a novel strategy to clone human leukemia inhibitory factor (hLIF) gene cDNA from genomic DNA, which was directly isolated from the m.. Read More»

DNA extraction from hair shafts of wild Brazilian felids and canids
Authors: C.C. Alberts, J.T. Ribeiro-Paes, G. Aranda-Selverio, J.R. Cursino-Santos, V.R. Moreno-Cotulio, A.L.D. Oliveira, B.F.M.M. Porchia, W.F. Santos and E.B. Souza
Wild felids and canids are usually the main predators in the food chains where they dwell and are almost invisible to behavior and ecology researchers. Due to their grooming behavior, they tend to swallow shed hair, which shows up in the feces. DNA found in hair shafts can be used in molecular studies that can unravel, for ins.. Read More»
