Authors: S.X. Liu, Z.H. Qi, J.J. Zhang, C.B. He, X.G. Gao and H.J. Li
Pattern recognition molecules play an important role in innate immunity by recognizing conserved molecular patterns that are present on the surface of invading microorganisms. In this study, a lipopolysaccharide and β-1,3-glucan binding protein (LGBP) gene was cloned from the hard clam Meretrix meretrix .. Read More»

Detection of fetal RHD pseudogene (RHD�¨) and hybrid RHD-CE-Ds from RHD-negative pregnant women with a free DNA fetal kit
Authors: T. Gunel, I. Kalelioglu, A. Gedikbasi, H. Ermis and K. Aydinli
Hemolytic disease of the newborn is a clinical condition in which maternal and paternal Rh blood group antigens are incompatible and the mother is negative for the antigen whereas the father is positive. Analysis of fetal cells recovered from maternal plasma can provide a highly sensitive prenatal diagnosis. The fetal RHD gene.. Read More»

Changes in expression of specific miRNAs and their target genes in repair of exercise-induced muscle injury in rats
Authors: W. Wu
The effects of muscle-specific miRNAs in the repair of exercise-induced muscle injury were investigated by examining the changes in their expression and that of the target genes in rat skeletal muscle. Two-month-old agile male rats were randomly divided into exercise and static control groups, the former subdivided into 0-h, 6-h, 12-h, 1-day, 2-day, 3-day.. Read More»

Physiological analysis and transcriptome comparison of two muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) cultivars in response to salt stress
Authors: L.M. Wang, L.D. Zhang, J.B. Chen, D.F. Huang and Y.D. Zhang
Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important vegetable crop that ranks second in salt tolerance among the Cucurbitaceae. Previous studies on the two muskmelon cultivars ‘Bing XueCui’ (BXC) and ‘Yu Lu’ (YL) revealed that they had different characteristics under salt stress, but the molecular basis underlying their different physiological..

CADM1 mRNA expression and clinicopathological significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue
Authors: J.B. Qian, H.B. Liu, Y. Zhu, F. Lu, Q.C. Yang and Y. Shen
The mRNA expression of cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1) and its clinicopathological significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues were investigated. CADM1 mRNA and protein expression were detected in tissue samples from 50 patients with ESCC by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and st.. Read More»

Characterization and development of 56 EST-SSR markers derived from the transcriptome of Odontobutis potamophila
Authors: P.P. Wang, M. Ren, S.Q. Chen, S.W. Yin, C. Zhao, H.Y. Zhang, X.R. Li, Q.Q. Cao and G.Q. Zhou
Expressed sequence tags (ETSs) are the sources of microsatellite development. In this study, we isolated and characterized microsatellite markers for Odontobutis potamophila by using Illumina RNA-sequencing. We sequenced a large number of ESTs and screened 200 potential microsatellites. Consequen.. Read More»

RNA-Seq-based transcriptome and the reproduction-related genes for the aphid Schlechtendalia chinensis (Hemiptera, Aphididae)
Authors: P. Liu, Z.X. Yang, X.M. Chen, P. Yang
Chinese galls form on sumac plants (Rhus chinensis) and are used for medicinal and chemical purposes, due to their richness in tannins. The galls are formed by aphids, the most prominent of which is Schlechtendalia chinensis, which forms horn-shaped galls on the winged rachis of R. chinensis. S. chinensis has a complex life cy..

Prognostic role of microRNA-100 in patients with bladder cancer
Authors: Y.H. Cao, H.H. Zhang,H.F. Xu, Y.J. Duan, Q. Li, B. Huang
We investigated the clinical significance and prognostic value of microRNA-100 (miR-100) in bladder cancer. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze the expression of miR-100 in 92 pairs of human bladder cancer and adjacent normal tissue samples. Overall survival (OS) curves were plotted using the K.. Read More»
