Authors: W.Q. Zhu, H.F. Li, J.Y. Wang, J.T. Shu, C.H. Zhu, W.T. Song, C. Song, G.G. Ji and H.X. Liu
Chinese black-bone chickens are valued for the medicinal properties of their meat in traditional Chinese medicine. We investigated the genetic diversity and systematic evolution of Chinese black-bone chicken breeds. We sequenced the DNA of 520 bp of the mitochondrial cyt b gene of nine Chinese black-bone chicken breeds, includ.. Read More»

Identification of UV-B-induced microRNAs in wheat
Authors: B. Wang*, Y.F. Sun*, N. Song, X.J. Wang, H. Feng, L.L. Huang and Z.S. Kang
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation and act as important endogenous regulators to various stressors. Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation is a major factor influencing crop growth and development. In this study, we isolated a novel wheat miRNA, named Tae-miR6000, and confirmed its expression diversity after UV-B treatm.. Read More»

Inhibitory effect of microRNA-24 on fatty acid-binding protein expression on 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation
Authors: M. Kang1*, L.M. Yan2*, Y.M. Li3, W.Y. Zhang3, H. Wang3, A.Z. Tang1 and H.S. Ou3
We examined the effect of microRNAs on 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation and expression of adipocyte-specific gene fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4). We screened and identified adipo-related microRNAs during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation with a microRNA microarray. High expression plasmids of miR-24 and miR-21 were constructed and transfected into 3T.. Read More»

Functions of microRNA in response to cocaine stimulation
Authors: L.-F. Xu, J. Wang, F.B. Lv and Q. Song
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of non-protein-coding single-stranded RNA, which are typically 20-25 nt in length. miRNAs play important roles in various biological processes, including development, cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. We aimed to detect the miRNA response to cocaine stimulations and their target .. Read More»

Genetic variability and phylogenetic aspects in species of the genus Macrobrachium
Authors: A.L. Guerra, A.V.B. Lima, R.V. Lucato J�ºnior, M.C. Chiachio, F.G. Taddei and L. Castiglioni
The genus Macrobrachium includes prawns, which are widely distributed in lakes, floodplains, and rivers in tropical and subtropical regions of South America. This genus presents nearly 210 known species with great ecological and economic importance. However, few studies are related to the biology of these crustaceans. In this .. Read More»

Expression analysis of differentially expressed miRNAs in male and female chicken embryos
Authors: Y.P. Feng, J.F. Chen, P. Huang, X. Wang, J. Wang, X.L. Peng and Y.Z. Gong
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that play key roles in the regulation of development processes of many tissues and organs at the post-transcriptional level. However, little is known about how they affect chicken gonadal development. We examined the expression of four miRNAs (miR-218, -200b, -196, and -206.. Read More»

Influence of animals obtained using embryo transfer on the genetic evaluation of growth in Simmental beef cattle with random regression models
Authors: R.R. Mota, P.S. Lopes, L.F.A. Marques, L.P. Silva,M. Concei�§�£o Pessoa, R. Almeida Torres, M.D.V. Resende
Weight records of Simmental beef cattle were used in a genetic evaluation of growth with and without embryo transfer (ET). A random regression model in which ET individuals were excluded (RRM1) contained 29,510 records from 10,659 animals, while another model that did not exclude these animals (RRM2) contained 62,895 records f..

Analysis of sequence diversity through internal transcribed spacers and simple sequence repeats to identify Dendrobium species
Authors: Y.T. Liu, R.K. Chen, S.J. Lin, Y.C. Chen, S.W. Chin, F.C. Chen and C.Y. Lee
The Orchidaceae is one of the largest and most diverse families of flowering plants. The Dendrobium genus has high economic potential as ornamental plants and for medicinal purposes. In addition, the species of this genus are able to produce large crops. However, many Dendrobium varieties are very similar in outward appearance.. Read More»

Multidrug-resistant genes of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes and 16S rRNA methylases in Acinetobacter baumannii strains
Authors: J.-T. Wen, Y. Zhou, L. Yang and Y. Xu
We examined the distribution of genes of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes and 16S rRNA methylases in multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii to explore the association of these genes with drug resistance. Strains isolated from clinical specimens were screened using an automatic microbial identification system, and 9 aminog.. Read More»

Expression profile analysis reveals putative prostate cancer-related microRNAs
Authors: H. Song1*, Y. Liu2*, J. Pan3 and S.T. Zhao1
Annotation of prostate cancer (PC) genomes provides a foundation for discoveries that can improve the understanding and treatment of the disease. Therefore, in the present study, we used the Student t-test to identify differentially expressed PC-related mRNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs). Then, we performed interrelated mapping of miRNA target genes between abn.. Read More»
