Gene Expression
Identification and characterization of TGF?²-dependent and -independent cis-regulatory modules in the C4ST-1/CHST11 locus
Authors: C.M. Willis, J.L. Wrana and M. Kl?¼ppel
Chondroitin-4-sulfotransferase-1(C4ST-1)/carbohydrate sulfotransferase 11 (CHST11) is a Golgi-bound enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the glycosaminoglycan chondroitin sulfate. The sulfation pattern of chondroitin is tightly regulated during development, injury and disease, with the temporal and spatial expressi.. Read More»

Correlation-based linear discriminant classification for gene expression data
Authors: M. Pan and J. Zhang
Microarray gene expression technology provides a systematic approach to patient classification. However, microarray data pose a great computational challenge owing to their large dimensionality, small sample sizes, and potential correlations among genes. A recent study has shown that gene-gene correlations have a positive effe.. Read More»

Involvement of ERK1/2 signaling in proliferation of eight liver cell types during hepatic regeneration in rats
Authors: X.G. Chen C.S. Xu Y.M. Liu
It has been well established that ERK1/2 signaling, often subdivided into nine types of pathways, can regulate the hepatocyte proliferative response during liver regeneration. However, the effect of ERK1/2 signaling on the proliferation of other hepatic cell types remains unclear. We isolated and purified 8 liver cell types at 10 time points after 2/3 hep.. Read More»

Cloning and characterization of SPL-family genes in the peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Authors: M. Li1*, S.Z. Zhao1*, C.Z. Zhao1, Y. Zhang1, H. Xia1, J. Lopez-Baltazar2, S.B. Wan1 and X.J. Wang1
SQUAMOSA promoter-binding protein-like (SPL) proteins play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stressors. The peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a globally important oil crop. In this study, we cloned the full-length cDNA of 15 SPLs in the peanut by transcriptome sequencing and rapid amplification of cDNA ends, and anal.. Read More»

Cloning and characterization of defense-related genes from Populus szechuanica infected with rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina
Authors: Z.J. Chen1,2, Z.M. Cao1, Z.D. Yu1 and D. Yu1
Characterization of defense-related genes is critical for breeding disease-resistant poplar varieties and for better management and control of leaf rust disease. In the present study, full-length cDNAs of five Populus szechuanica defense-related (PsDR) genes, pathogen-related protein 1 (PsPR1), β-1,3-glucanase (PsGns), thaumatin-like protein 1 (PsTLP..

Differential expression of the lethal gene Luteus-Pa in cacao of the Parinari series
Authors: B.C. Rehem1, A.-A.F. Almeida1, G.S.F. Figueiredo1, A.S. Gesteira2, S.C. Santos1, R.X. Corr?ªa1, M.M. Yamada3 and R.R. Valle3
The recessive lethal character Luteus-Pa is found in cacao (Theobroma cacao) genotypes of the Parinari series (Pa) and is characterized by expression of leaf chlorosis and seedling death. Several genotypes of the Pa series are bearers of the gene responsible for the expression of the Luteus-Pa character, which can be used as a tool for determining relatio.. Read More»

Optimal clone identifier for genomic shotgun libraries: â??OC Identifier toolâ?
Authors: Cantao ME, Ferreira JE and Lemos EGM
In DNA microarray experiments, the gene fragments that are spotted on the slides are usually obtained by the synthesis of specific oligonucleotides that are able to amplify genes through PCR. Shotgun library sequences are an alternative to synthesis of primers for the study of each gene in the genome. The possibility of puttin.. Read More»

Genome-wide partial correlation analysis of Escherichia coli microarray data
Authors: Veiga DFT, Vicente FFR, Grivet M, de la Fuente A and Vasconcelos ATR
Transcriptional control is an essential regulatory mechanism employed by bacteria. Much about transcriptional regulation remains to be discovered, even for the most widely studied bacterium, Escherichia coli. In the present study, we made a genome-wide loworder partial correlation analysis of E. coli microarray data with the p.. Read More»

mRNA and protein expression levels of four candidate genes for ear size in Erhualian and Large White pigs
Authors: L.C. Zhang, J. Liang, L. Pu, Y.B. Zhang, L.G. Wang, X. Liu, H. Yan, L.X. Wang
Porcine ear size is an important characteristic for distinguishing among pig breeds. In a previous genome-wide association study of porcine ear size, LEM domain-containing 3 (LEMD3), methionine sulfoxide reductase B3 (MSRB3), high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2), and Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1) were implicated as important..
