Functional polymorphisms in microRNA gene and hepatitis B risk among Asian population:a meta-analysis
Authors: G.Q. Zhou, H. Meng, J.R. Wang, F.X. Sun, X.J. Wang, R.B. Wang and X.B. Wang
Genetic mutations in microRNA gene can alter expression, which may interact to increase the risk of developing various diseases, including hepatitis B. However, published results are inconclusive or ambiguous. The aim of this review and meta-analysis is to more precisely estimate the association between polymorphisms in microRNA genes and hepatitis B risk.. Read More»

Identification of transgenic cloned dairy goats harboring human lactoferrin and methylation status of the imprinted gene IGF2R in their lungs
Authors: Y.L. Zhang, G.M. Zhang, Y.J. Wan, R.X. Jia, P.Z. Li, L. Han, F. Wang and M.R. Huang
Dairy goat is a good model for production of transgenic proteins in milk using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). However, animals produced from SCNT are often associated with lung deficiencies. We recently produced six transgenic cloned dairy goats harboring the human lactoferrin gene, including three live transgenic clones and three deceased transgen.. Read More»

Identification of highly expressed host microRNAs that respond to white spot syndrome virus infection in the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Penaeidae)
Authors: D.G. Zeng, X.L. Chen, D.X. Xie, Y.Z. Zhao, Q. Yang, H. Wang, Y.M. Li and X.H. Chen
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to play an important role in regulating both adaptive and innate immunity. Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is the most widely farmed crustacean species in the world. However, little is known about the role miRNAs play in shrimp immunity. To understand the impact of viral infection on miRNA expression in shrimp, we .. Read More»

Microbial community and performance of slaughterhouse wastewater treatment filters
Authors: M.I. Stets, R.M. Etto, C.W. Galv�£o, R.A. Ayub, L.M. Cruz, M.B.R. Steffens and A.C. Barana
The performance of anaerobic filter bioreactors (AFs) is influenced by the composition of the substrate, support medium, and the microbial species present in the sludge. In this study, the efficiency of a slaughterhouse effluent treatment using three AFs containing different support media was tested, and the microbial diversit.. Read More»

Reference genes for quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction studies in soybean plants under hypoxic conditions
Authors: T.J. Nakayama, F.A. Rodrigues, N. Neumaier, F.C. Marcelino-Guimar�£es, J.R.B. Farias, M.C.N. de Oliveira, A. Bor�©m, A.C.B. de Oliveira, B.M. Emygdio and A.L. Nepomuceno
Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is a powerful tool used to measure gene expression. However, because of its high sensitivity, the method is strongly influenced by the quality and concentration of the template cDNA and by the amplification efficiency. Relative quantifi cation is an effective strategy .. Read More»

Serum microRNA expression in pregnancies with preeclampsia
Authors: T. Gunel, Y.G. Zeybek, P. Ak�§akaya, I. Kalelio��lu, A. Benian, H. Ermis and K. Ayd�±nl�±
Preeclampsia continues to be a mortal disease of pregnant women throughout the world. Recently, geneticists, allied with obstetricians, have opened new frontiers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are members of a class of small, noncoding RNA molecules. They are critical posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. We extracted circul.. Read More»

Characterization of mitochondrial genotypes in the foundation herd of the Canchim beef cattle breed
Authors: S.C. M�©o C.R. Ferreira M.R. Chiaratti F.V. Meirelles L.C.A. Regitano M.M. Alencar P.F. Barbosa
The Canchim (5/8 Charolais + 3/8 Zebu) beef cattle breed was developed at Southeast-Embrapa Cattle to take advantage of hybrid vigor and to combine the higher growth rate and beef quality of Charolais with tropical adaptations of Zebu. The development of three lineages (old, new, and crossbred) has increased its genetic basis... Read More»

Aluminum triggers broad changes in microRNA expression in rice roots
Authors: J.C. Lima, R.A. Arenhart, M. Margis-Pinheiro and R. Margis
MicroRNAs are small 21-nucleotide RNA molecules with regulatory roles in development and in response to stress. Expression of some plant miRNAs has been specifically associated with responses to abiotic stresses caused by cold, light, iron, and copper ions. In acid soils, aluminum solubility increases, thereby causing severe d.. Read More»

Development of expressed sequence tag-based microsatellite markers for the critically endangered Iso�«tes sinensis (Isoetaceae) based on transcriptome analysis
Authors: A.W. Gichira, Z.C. Long, Q.F. Wang, J.M. Chen and K. Liao
Isoëtes sinensis is a critically endangered quillwort. To facilitate studies on the conservation genetics of this species, we developed expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers. A total of 50,063 unigenes were predicted by transcriptome sequencing, 5294 (10.6%) of which significantly matched 3011 Gene Ontology annotations and 2.. Read More»

The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for pre-weaning traits of Braunvieh cattle raised under tropical conditions in Brazil. The weight and weight gain parameters were birth weight (BW, N = 9955), weight at 120 days of age (W120, N = 5901), weaning weight at 205 days (WW, N = 6970), weight gain from bi.. Read More»
