Standardization of a molecular method for epidemiologic identification of Leishmania strains

Authors: R.F. Rocha, E.V. Menezes, A.R.E.O. Xavier, V.A. Royo, D.A. Oliveira, A.F.M. J�ºnior, E.S. Dias, A.C.V.M.R. Lima and E.M. Michalsky

Molecular studies of the evolutionary relationships among Leishmania species suggest the presence of high genetic variation within this genus, which has a direct effect on public health in many countries. The coexistence of species in a particular region can result in different leishmaniasis clinical forms and treatment respon.. Read More»

Genome-wide polymorphisms between the parents of an elite hybrid rice and the development of a novel set of PCR-based InDel markers

Authors: K. Wang, J.Y. Zhuang, D.R. Huang, J.Z. Ying and Y.Y. Fan

Genome-wide re-sequencing of the Zhenshan 97 (ZS97) and Milyang 46 (MY46) parents of an elite three-line hybrid rice developed in China resulted in the generation of 9.91 G bases of data with an effective sequencing depth of 11.66x and 11.51x, respectively. Detection of genome-wide DNA polymorphisms, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), short insertion.. Read More»

Assessment of the link between Vitamin D receptor TaqI gene polymorphism and periodontitis: a meta-analysis in a Chinese population

Authors: X.W. Ji, Y. Wang, C. Cao and L.J. Zhong

Although a number of studies have been conducted to determine the association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) TaqI polymorphism and periodontitis in the Chinese population, this association remains elusive. To assess the influence of VDR TaqI polymorphism on the risk of periodontitis, a meta-analysis was performed in a Chines.. Read More»

Traditional risk factors and angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphism in coronary artery disease

Authors: S. Sahin, K. Ceyhan, I. Benli, H. Ozyurt, E. Naseri, M.M. Tumuklu, L. Aydogan, A.O. Elalmis, A.F. Ozugurlu and O. Onalan

We investigated whether the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene and serum ACE levels are associated with traditional risk factors of coronary artery disease (CAD). We enrolled 250 individuals without CAD and 750 individuals suffering from CAD who were angiographically diagnosed. Biochemical risk factors, t.. Read More»
