Authors: A.D. Lopes1, C.A. Scapim2, C.A. Mangolin3 and M.F.P.S. Machado3
The purpose of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of 15 sugary-1 sweet corn lines by microsatellite markers. One hundred pairs of simple sequence repeat primers that were mapped for field corn were tested. Of these primers, 15% were polymorphic, and all were selected for the evaluation. These primers identified a total of 39 alleles among the.. Read More»

Prediction of potential novel microRNAs in soybean when in symbiosis
Authors: G.A. Barros-Carvalho1,2, A.R. Paschoal3, F.C. Marcelino-Guimar�£es1 and M. Hungria1
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small molecules, noncoding proteins that are involved in many biological processes, especially in plants; among these processes is nodulation in the legume. Biological nitrogen fixation is a key process, with critical importance to the soybean crop. This study aimed to identify the potential of novel miRNAs to act during the root no.. Read More»

Utility of hair shafts from study skins for mitochondrial DNA analysis
Authors: N. Kurihara
The condition of mtDNA in hair shafts preserved in a museum was examined using 30 study skins of masked palm civets, Paguma larvata (Viverridae), collected between 1924 and 2011. Comparisons of extracts from fresh and burnt alum-fixed hair shafts showed that burnt alum, which is commonly used in taxidermy, had no harmful effect on the amount of total DNA .. Read More»

Molecular genetic diversity and maternal origin of Chinese black-bone chicken breeds
Authors: W.Q. Zhu, H.F. Li, J.Y. Wang, J.T. Shu, C.H. Zhu, W.T. Song, C. Song, G.G. Ji and H.X. Liu
Chinese black-bone chickens are valued for the medicinal properties of their meat in traditional Chinese medicine. We investigated the genetic diversity and systematic evolution of Chinese black-bone chicken breeds. We sequenced the DNA of 520 bp of the mitochondrial cyt b gene of nine Chinese black-bone chicken breeds, includ.. Read More»

Genetic polymorphisms of paraoxonase1 192 and glutathione peroxidase1 197 enzymes in familial Mediterranean fever
Authors: F. ��ktem, H. An�±l, R. S�¼tc�¼ and A.E. Kuybulu
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder and is the most frequent of the periodic febrile inflammatory syndromes. The pathogenesis of the disease is not completely understood, even though the FMF gene has been identified. Oxidative stress and inflammation may play a role in the pathogenesis of FMF... Read More»
