Authors: E. Gasparino, A.P. Del Vesco, S.E.F. Guimar�£es, S.C.C. da Silva, S.M. Marcato, A.R. de Oliveira Neto and K.R.S. Sousa
Efficient conversion of food into body mass has been associated with altered gene expression of some proteins of the electron transport chain. We evaluated the effect of age on mRNA expression of uncoupling protein, adenine nucleotide translocase and cytochrome c oxidase complex III in quails. One-day-old broiler quails were s.. Read More»

Range-wide phylogeography and conservation genetics of a narrowly endemic stream salamander, Pachyhynobius shangchengensis (Caudata, Hynobiidae): implications for conservation
Authors: T. Pan, H. Wang, C.-C. Hu, W.-B. Shi, K. Zhao, X. Huang and B.-W. Zhang
The Shangcheng stout salamander (Pachyhynobius shangchengensis) is an endangered amphibian endemic to the Dabie Mountains, southeast China, and is currently threatened by habitat loss and illegal poaching. Here we used the mitochondrial DNA control region sequence (768 bp) to conduct a comprehensive investigation of genetic di.. Read More»

Complete sequence analysis of mitochondrial DNA of aplastic anemia patients
Authors: X. Cui, F. Liu, J.Q. Wang, W.J. Zhang, J.Y. Wang, K. Liu, S.Y. Cui, J. Zhang and R.R. Xu
This study was primarily undertaken to test the hypothesis that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations may be associated with aplastic anemia (AA). We analyzed mtDNA sequences from 15 patients with AA. The samples were obtained from bone marrow, and patients’ oral epithelial cells were collected for normal tissue comparison. Total DNA was amplified by .. Read More»

Isolation and expression analysis of the soybean GmPic gene
Authors: A.-H. Sha, H. Wu, X.-M. Fu, Q.-L. Zhang, Q.-L. Guo, Y.-H. Chen and X.-A. Zhou
The differential screening method was used to isolate the soy photoperiodic response-related genes and to further elucidate the molecular mechanisms of the soybean photoperiodic response. The light-sensitive species Zhong Dou 24 was used to receive long-time sunshine, short-time sunshine, and natural sunshine treatment. The cD.. Read More»

Molecular barcoding of venomous snakes and species-specific multiplex PCR assay to identify snake groups for which antivenom is available in Thailand
Authors: A. Supikamolseni1,2, N. Ngaoburanawit3, M. Sumontha4, L. Chanhome5,S. Suntrarachun6, S. Peyachoknagul2,7 and K. Srikulnath1,2,7
DNA barcodes of mitochondrial COI and Cytb genes were constructed from 54 specimens of 16 species for species identification. Intra- and interspecific sequence divergence of the COI gene (10 times) was greater than that of the Cytb gene (4 times), which suggests that the former gene may be a better marker than the latter for species delimitation in snakes..

Phylogenetic analysis of DNA and RNA polymerases from a Moniliophthora perniciosa mitochondrial plasmid reveals probable lateral gene transfer
Authors: B.S. Andrade1 and A. G�³es-Neto2
Abstract The filamentous fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa is a hemibiotrophic basidiomycete that causes witches’ broom disease of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.). Many fungal mitochondrial plasmids are DNA and RNA polymerase-encoding invertrons with terminal inverted repeats and 5'-linked proteins. The aim of this study was to carry out comparative and ..

Effects of muscle fiber type on glycolytic potential and meat quality traits in different Tibetan pig muscles and their association with glycolysis-related gene expression
Authors: L.Y. Shen1, J. Luo1, H.G. Lei1, Y.Z. Jiang2, L. Bai1, M.Z. Li1, G.Q. Tang1, X.W. Li1, S.H. Zhang1 and L. Zhu1
The myosin heavy chain (MyHC) composition, glycolytic potential, mitochondrial content, and gene expression related to energy metabolism were analyzed in eight muscles from Tibetan pigs, to study how meat quality develops in different muscle tissues. The muscles were classified into three clusters, based on MyHC composition: masseter, trapezius, and latis.. Read More»

Complete mitochondrial genome and codon usage of the Nepalese whiskered bat Myotis muricola (Vespertilionidae)
Authors: K.B. Yoon and Y.C. Park
We sequenced and characterized the complete mitogenome of the Nepalese whiskered bat Myotis muricola (Vespertilionidae) to provide more data for comparative mitogenomics and codon usage in the genus Myotis (Vespertilionidae). The mitogenome of M. muricola is a circular molecule of 17,224 bp, consisting of a control region and a conserved set of 37 genes c.. Read More»

Protection effect of atorvastatin in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury rats by blocking the mitochondrial permeability transition pore
Authors: T. Song, J. Liu, X. Tao and J.G. Deng
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of atorvastatin on the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) and the expression of cytochrome C (Cyt C) in Sprague-Dawley rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). The rat model of cerebral artery ischemia was established by the suture-occluded method with ischemia for .. Read More»

The morphological discrimination between the species Astyanax altiparanae and A. asuncionensis of the upper Paraná River and Paraguay River basins, respectively, has always been difficult. Two D-loop haplogroups of A. altiparanae are known, one with the presence (AltoPR) or the absence (AltoPR-D) of a 32-bp block simila.. Read More»
