EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS: HOW TO UNDERSTAND SUCH DIVERSE AND SO ENTANGLED PHYSIOPATHOLOGY?Carlos Henrique Melo Reis, Marco Orsini, Marco Antônio Araujo Leite et al.When in 1865, JeanMartin Charcotreported patients with progressive muscular atrophysuperimposedwith spasticity of inexorable evolution as result of combinedlesions of the anterior horn and lateral column of the spinal cord, hecertainly inaugurated an attempt on the comprehension of one of the mostcomplexes neurological clinical conditions, which until today persists withimmense voids on their comprehension, regardless of the enormous advancesachieved. Astime went … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 16 Feb 2015 · 7,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHEAVY METAL ANALYSIS IN RED OAK (QUERCUS RUBRA) POPULATIONS FROM A MINING REGION IN NORTHERN ONTARIO (CANADA): EFFECT OF SOIL LIMING AND ANALYSIS OF GENETIC VARIATIONAnh Tran, K. K. Nkongolo, M. Mehes-Smith et al.Understanding the dynamic of metals in soil and plants and population diversity in Northern Ontario is essential in determining progress toward ecosystem sustainability in reclaimed sites. The objectives of the present study were to assess the levels of metal content in soils and their accumulation in red oak plants from limed and unlimed sites. Genetic variation in red oak populations … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 25 Jun 2014 · 7,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariability and Genetic Structure in a Commercial Field of Tequila Plants, Agave tequilana Weber (Agavaceae)Martha Isabel Torres-Moran, Ana Paulina Velasco-Ramirez, Salvador Antonio Hurtado-de la Pena et al.Crops of the tequila plant (Agave tequilana) are produced mainly from offshoots of mother plants in established commercial fields. This propagation method is significant, as it is believed that it facilitates the spread of disease because of the crop’s low genetic variability and is also necessary because it is regulate the use of just that variety in tequila industry. Different … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Feb 2013 · 8,096 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Characterization of a Bovine Breed (Tabapua) Under Artificial Selection Located in the Amazon RegionJose Elivalto Guimaraes Campelo, Marcone Helmer da Silva, Ednaldo da Silva Filho et al.Brazil currently has the biggest commercial bovine cattle population in the world. Several different breeds that come from Europe and India compose it. They are primarily used for dairy and meat production. In Brazil, several high quality genetic background cattle are kept in a condition known as pure breed, meaning no other animal of different genetic background is interbreeding with … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2013 · 7,558 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NAPIN PROMOTER ACTIVATES GENE EXPRESSION IN DEVELOPING SEEDS OF LESQUERELLA FENDLERIGrace Q. Chen, Jiann-Tsyh LinLesquerella fendleri produces industrial useful Hydroxy Fatty Acids (HFA) in seed oil. To improve oil and HFA of L. fendleri, it is desirable to use of seed-specific promoters to control the expression of target genes by genetic engineering. A seed-specific promoter fragment, -397 to -1 of a napin gene (PnapA) from Brassic napus was isolated by PCR and constructed to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2012 · 7,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Diversity in Cichla monoculus (Spix and Agassiz, 1931) Populations: Implications for Management and ConservationCarlos Henrique Dos Anjos Dos Santos, Carolina Fernandes Silva De Sousa, Maria de Nazare Paula-Silva et al.Problem statement: The object of this study was to examine the genetic structure and gene flow in Cichla monoculus populations in seven varzea lakes of the Solimoes River using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, to monitor the region where petroleum is transported in the Amazon basin. Approach: The loss of genetic diversity is one of the main factors leading … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 8,520 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransformation of Lesquerella Fendleri with the New Binary Vector pGPro4-35SGrace Q. Chen, Roger Thilmony, Jiann-Tsyh LinProblem statement: Crop genetic engineering requires the use of various promoters to control the expression of introduced transgenes. Some of the binary vectors currently available for promoter characterization in dicotyledonous plants have pitfalls due to their construction, such as containing a selectable marker cassette with enhancer sequences that can potentially interfere with the expression specificity of nearby promoters. Also, many … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 19 Jan 2012 · 7,428 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTolemerase Reverse Transcriptase Gene Expression as a Tumor Marker for Hepatocellular CarcinomaM. Magdi Atta, Naglaa Al-Toukhy, Omnia Al-Said et al.Problem statement: Hepatocellular carcinoma will emerge as a major form of malignancy in the coming decades. The continuing high incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma, suggests that this disease will continue to represent a global health problem far into the future. Different genes encode for the various components of the human telomerase complex. These components include the human Telomerase RNA Component (hTERC) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 3 Aug 2011 · 7,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA-Polymerase Chain Reaction of Barbodes spp. in ThailandKeeravit Petjul, Aphidech Sangdee, Bungorn Thaewnon-ngiwProblem statement: The genetic diversity of Barbodes species in Thailand is presently unavailable. The objectives of this study were to study external morphology and genetic diversity using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RAPD-PCR) of three Barbodes species; Barbodes altus, B. gonionotus and Barbodes sp. Approach: Two of twelve screened decanucleotide primers (OPA07 and UBC122), were selected for the genetic … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2011 · 8,089 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Statistical Procedures for Analysis of Genetic Diversity in Domestic Animal PopulationsM. R. Nassiry, A. Javanmard, Reza TohidiProblem statement: A wide range of studies for the assessment of genetic diversity in livestock breed were conducted using genetic distance. For high-accuracy and unbiased estimation sampling methods, criteria of choosing type of DNA markers, distance measurement strategies, cluster analysis will be important for any genetic diversity projects. Approach: Main objective of this short review is focusing on application statistical … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,652 accessesView PDFCite
