Genome-wide identification and phylogenetic analysis of the SBP-box gene family in melons
Authors: Y. Ma, J.W. Guo, R. Bade, Z.H. Men and A. Hasi
The SBP-box gene family is specific to plants and encodes a class of zinc finger-containing transcription factors with a broad range of functions. Although SBP-box genes have been identified in numerous plants, including green algae, moss, silver birch, snapdragon, Arabidopsis, rice, and maize, there is little information concerning SBP-box genes, or the ..

Inter-retrotransposon-amplified polymorphism markers for germplasm characterization in Manihot esculenta (Euphorbiaceae)
Authors: A.M. Oliveira-Silva, G.F. Silva, M.C. Dias, C.R. Clement and N.R. Sousa
Manioc, Manihot esculenta, is economically important in many tropical and subtropical countries. The genetic variability of the species has not been fully explored, and new information may help expand its use. Molecular markers based on retrotransposons have good potential for analysis of genetic diversity given their abundanc.. Read More»

Complete mitochondrial genomes of the Bright Sunbeam Curetis bulis and the Small Copper Lycaena phlaeas (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) and their phylogenetic implications
Authors: L.L. Zhang1, J.S. Hao1,2, D.Y. Huang1, X.Y. Sun2, J.J. Hao1, C.M. Peng1 and Q. Yang2
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genomes of Curetis bulis and Lycaena phlaeas were determined and analyzed. The circular genomes are 15,162 bp long for C. bulis and 15,280 bp long for L. phlaeas, with a total A+T content of 82.6 and 83.1%, respectively. Both mitogenomes contain 37 genes, and their gene orders are similar to those of other lepidop.. Read More»

Characterization of Anatolian traditional quince cultivars, based on microsatellite markers
Authors: C. Y�¼ksel, F. Mutaf, �°. Demirta��, G. ��zt�¼rk, M. Pekta��, A. Erg�¼l
We conducted simple sequence repeat (SSR) analyses of 15 traditional quince (Cydonia oblonga) cultivars from Anatolian gene sources for molecular characterization and investigation of genetic relationships. Three pear and two apple cultivars were used as references for SSR locus data analysis and to determine allele profiles b.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and differentiation of exotic and American commercial cattle breeds raised in Brazil
Authors: B.S.A.F. Brasil1,2,3*, E.G.A. Coelho1*, M.G. Drummond1,2 and D.A.A. Oliveira1
The Brazilian cattle population is mainly composed of breeds of zebuine origin and their American derivatives. Comprehensive knowledge about the genetic diversity of these populations is fundamental for animal breeding programs and the conservation of genetic resources. This study aimed to assess the phylogenetic relationships, levels of genetic diversity.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in natural populations of Theobroma subincanum Mart. in the Brazilian Amazon
Authors: L.H. Rivas1, L.D. Giustina1, L.N. Luz2, I.V. Karsburg1, T.N.S. Pereira2 and A.A.B. Rossi1
The genus Theobroma, recently reclassified in the family Malvaceae, comprises some species with high economic potential, including the cupuí, Theobroma subincanum Mart., which has not yet been domesticated, and whose genetics and population structure are mostly unknown. This study aimed to assess the population structure and genetic diversity in na.. Read More»

Efficient detection of the V600E mutation of the BRAF gene in papillary thyroid carcinoma using multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction combined with denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography
Authors: R.X. Gong1, Y.P. Gong1, J. Yang1, T. Wei1, J. Li-Ling2,3 and J.Q. Zhu1
Mutations in the V-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 gene (BRAF) play an important role in the pathogenesis of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). In this study, a BRAF V600E mutation was detected in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded PTC samples using multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction and denaturing high-performance liquid chro..

Genetic diversity of the Chinese traditional herb Blumea balsamifera (Asteraceae) based on AFLP markers
Authors: Y.X. Pang, W.Q. Wang, Y.B. Zhang, Y. Yuan, J.B. Yu, M. Zhu and Y.Y. Chen
Blumea balsamifera is a commercially important medicinal herb in China and other parts of Asia. It is used to produce borneol. This plant grows in the wild, but resources have diminished greatly in recent years. We examined the genetic diversity of this species to help develop conservation strategies; 35 plants from five provi.. Read More»

Oral anticoagulants of the coumarin type have an inconveniently narrow therapeutic window, making their use difficult. In Mexico, genetic variables that participate in the heterogeneity of the therapeutic response remain poorly investigated. With the focus on warfarin, extensive pharmacogenomic studies have been performed, including those on the CYP450 fa.. Read More»
