Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAge-Dependent Variation of Telomere Length and DNA Damage in ChickenMaxim S. Makarenko, Alexander V. Usatov, Lyubov V. Getmantseva et al.Birds are unique models for molecular studies on aging processes and cellular senescence because of their slow rates of aging and comparatively long life spans among homoeothermic animals. The study aimed to examine the relative telomere length and amount of nuclear, mitochondrial DNA lesions in hens of different ages and to find out the correlation between these biomarkers of aging. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 14 Dec 2017 · 7,505 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIllumina-Based De Novo Transcriptome Analysis and Identifications of Genes Involved in the Monolignol Biosynthesis Pathway in Acacia koaKazue Ishihara, Eric K.W. Lee, Isabel Rushanaedy, Dulal BorthakurAcacia koa is a leguminous timber tree endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. For breeding projects involved in improving wood quality of A. koa, understanding of genes influencing wood quality is crucial. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify A. koa genes in the monolignol biosynthesis pathway, which is involved in wood formation and development. In this study, whole … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 6 Aug 2015 · 11,037 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Silico Analysis of Cellulose Synthase Gene (NcCesA1) in Developing Xylem Tissues of Neolamarckia CadambaTiong Shing Yiing, Ho Wei Seng, Pang Shek Ling, Ismail JusohThis study reported the isolation and in silico characterization of full-length cellulose synthase (CesA) cDNA from Neolamarckia cadamba, an important tropical plantation tree species. CesA is a member of processive glycosyltransferases that involved in cellulose biosynthesis of plants. CesA acts as a central catalyst in the generation of plant cell wall biomass or cellulose. It also plays an important role … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 13 Jan 2015 · 7,990 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractCRISPR-CAS SYSTEM: A FEASIBLE SOLUTION FOR GETTING RID OF PERSISTENT VIRAL INFECTION?Zhaohua ZhongMany viruses, including DNA and RNA viruses, can persistently replicate in the infected cells and cause a prolonged damage. Herpes viruses can be latent in its host cells. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) reversely transcripts its RNA genome to DNA and integrates to the host’s chromosome. Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) persistently stay in the host cells … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 10 Nov 2014 · 12,614 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTRANSCRIPTION ACTIVATOR-LIKE EFFECTOR NUCLEASES-AMAZING TOOL FOR GENOME EDITINGAvantika Singh, Vivek Pratap SinghTranscription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs) are used to cut specific target DNA sequence in order to knock out a gene or to change its sequence. They are formed by the fusion of TALE protein serving as DNA binding domain along with non-specific DNA cleaving nucleases. Its specificity towards DNA bases in the target sequence is derived from the structure of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,997 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Bacterial Chromosomal Sequence and Related IssuesThi Huyen Phan, Duc Luong NguyenThere has been a rapid increasing in the number of bacterial genomes that are completely sequenced recently. However, nucleotide arrangement in bacterial chromosome is still not clear, though it is known that the chromosomal strand is symmetric as a whole but asymmetric locally. The unequal distribution of adenine and thymine as well as cytosine and guanine in the local genomic … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Jul 2013 · 13,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic and Biochemical Aspects of Ectoine Biosynthesis in Moderately Halophilic and Halotolerant Methylotrophic BacteriaValentina N. Khmelenina, Ildar I. Mustakhimov, Alexander S. Reshetnikov et al.Problem statement: The cyclic imino acid ectoine is a widely distributed compatible solute synthesizing by halophilic and halotolerant bacteria to prevent osmotic stress at high external salinity. This water-keeping compound is used in a variety of commercial cosmetics and therapeutic products. Approach: Development of integrated, predictive functional model of the metabolic and regulatory netwoks of ectoine-producing microbes is an active … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2010 · 9,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhanced Survival and Nodule Occupancy of Pigeon pea Nodulating Rhizobium sp. ST1 expressing fegA Gene of Bradyrhizobium japonicum 61A152Falguni R. Joshi, Dhwani K. Desai, G. Archana, Anjana J. DesaiProblem statement: Rhizobial isolates belonging to genera (Rhizobium sp. and Mesorhizobium sp.) in our laboratory produced only catecholate type of siderophores. Although FhuA and FegA (ferrichrome receptors) homologs were found to be present in the sequenced genomes of few rhizobia (e.g., 1 in R. etli and 2 in Mesorhizobium sp. BNC1), laboratory isolates of the corresponding genera failed to utilize … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,865 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntrinsically Unstructured Proteins: Potential Targets for Drug DiscoveryPathan Salma, Chintan Chhatbar, Sriram SeshadriProblem statement: The function of a protein is dependent on its three-dimensional structure. However, numerous proteins lacking intrinsic globular 3D structure under physiological conditions had been recognized. These proteins are frequently involved in some of the most critical cellular control mechanisms and it appears that their rapid turnover, aided by their unstructured nature in the unbound state, provides a level … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of DNA Hypomethylation Mediated Floral Induction in Longan and Spinach Using the HAT-RAPD TechniqueS. Anuntalabhochai, R. Chundet, N. Buapong, R. W. CutlerIn this study, the HAT-RAPD technique was used to detect DNA methylation in the four plant species, rice (Oryza sativa), petunia (Petunia hybrida), spinach (Spinacea oleracea L.) and longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.), which were treated using 5-azacytidine, potassium chlorate (KClO3) and a low temperature induction. Rice and petunia were chosen to be induced because in these species it is known … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 6,977 accessesView PDFCite
