Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Effective and Viable DNA Extraction Protocol for FFPE Tissues and its Effect on Downstream Molecular ApplicationSai Sushmitha Kontham, Charles Emmanuel Jebaraj Walter, Manjula Raju et al.Archival Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissues are a readily available source of DNA for retrospective studies including genetic predisposition. FFPE tissues present significant challenges for extraction of pure genomic DNA in adequate amounts due to the harsh fixation conditions and long-term storage associated with samples. The aim of the study is to propose a simple, in-expensive, viable protocol for the extraction … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2020 · 7,374 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForensic Relationship between ATP6 Gene and Sperm Motility in a Saudi PopulationSafa A.M. Elsanousi, Murid Javed, Hamad Sufyan, Sayed A.M. AmerApproximately 600 bp of ATP synthase subunit 6 mitochondrial gene (ATP6) were amplified and sequenced for 110 semen samples collected from infertile and normal Saudi men inhabiting Riyadh province. These data were analyzed in order to identify the Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with male infertility. Six silent substitutions G8697A, G8856A, T8889C, T8952C, C9075T and C9060A were recorded with one … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2020 · 7,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Mutations in Drug Resistant Clinical Isolates from Southwest MexicoMartínez-Cruz Perla Mónica, Nakamura-López Yuko, Quintero-Hernández Verónica et al.Mutations in target genes have been described in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex (MTBc) drug resistant isolates worldwide. In Mexico, not enough information has been reported in this concern. The aim of this study was to characterize mutations related to resistance to first line drugs in MTBc isolates from Oaxaca, Mexico. MTBc isolates were identified in clinical samples from Tuberculosis (TB) patients. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2021 · 6,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe COXII Haplotypes and their Association with Productive Traits in Large White Breed PigsMaria A. Kolosova, Lyubov V. Getmantseva, Nekruz F. Bakoev et al.The mitochondrial genome encodes key electron transfer chain (ETC) proteins which produce the vast majority of cellular ATP. Sequence analysis of maternal inherited mitochondrial DNA is an effective way to assess the individual characteristics of commercial breeding lines of pigs. The aims of our study were to analyze the nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial gene COXII in Large White pigs, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 2 Jul 2019 · 7,655 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe -863 TNF-α Polymorphism and Primary Open Angle Glaucoma in EgyptiansWalaa Bayoumie Abdulwahhab El Gazzar, Shaymaa Mohamed Abd El Rahman, Mohamed Nagy Elmohamady et al.Growing evidence indicates that TNF-alpha is involved in the pathogenesis of POAG in several ways, primarly by induction of retinal ganglion cells apoptosis and therefore optic nerve degeneration. TNF-alpha and POAG relationship has been studied at the genetic level with variable results in different populations. The transcription rate and the release of the TNF-alpha cytokine have been reported to be … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 1 Jun 2017 · 7,356 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Silico Sequence Analysis, Structure Prediction and Function Annotation of Melanocortin 1 Receptor Gene (MC1R) from the Guppy Poecilia reticulataAbdul Khader Sultan Mohideen, Mehboob Asrar Sheriff, Kareem AltaffThe common guppy, Poecilia reticulata is one of the most popular aquarium fish used as a model organism in toxicology, embryology and genetical studies. Vibrant colors in males are a secondary sexual character which attracts the females for mating. Pigmentation in guppy is found to be linked with melanin synthesis. Melanocortin genes are involved in the synthesis of melanin pigments. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 17 Nov 2015 · 8,614 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINTERVENTION OF PHARMACOGENETIC PROFILING IN THERAPEUTICS OF KASHMIRI POPULATION, A LESSON LEARNED FROM CYP3A5*3 VARIANTAshaqullah Bhat, Aadil Wani, Rajinder Kaur et al.Human Cytochrome P450 3A, a variant of Cytochrome P-450- dependent monooxygenases is a major drug metabolizing enzyme. CYP3A has evolved to catalyze the biotransformation of its substrate. A great deal of inter-individual variation in expression levels exists for CYP3A5 gene. The common polymorphism in CYP3A5 that induces a cryptic splice site has been shown to cause a significant reduction in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 10 Jul 2014 · 7,215 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS OF MELANOCORTIN-4 RECEPTOR GENE ON GROWTH AND MEAT TRAITS IN PIGS RAISED IN RUSSIAA. Klimenko, A. Usatov, Lyubov Getmantseva et al.The Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R), a G-protein coupled receptor, is implicated in mediating the effect of leptin on food intake and energy balance. A previous candidate gene study reported an association between an MC4R polymorphism (Asp298Asn) and growth and meat productive traits of pigs. The aim of this work was to determine frequencies of the MC4R/Taq I genotypes and alleles in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,608 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractP53 Gene: Mutation and Immunohistochemical Analysis in Patients with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of BreastShinjini Singh, Sandeep Kumar Rajput, Mritunjai Singh et al.The p53 tumor suppressor gene is the most commonly mutated gene in cancer. In breast cancer, the presence of p53 gene alterations has been associated with worse prognosis. This study was attempted to associate p53 gene mutations with its protein expression in North Eastern Indian population. We used single-stranded conformation polymorphism to screen samples for mutations in five conserved regions, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 7,244 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Consequences of the Polymorphism Q223R in the Human Leptin Receptor: A Molecular Dynamics StudyJonathan P. Carrillo-Vázquez, Brenda Chimal-Vega, Beatriz Zamora-López et al.Leptin Receptor (LEPR) is a component of a signaling pathway related to appetite and energy expenditure. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) of Leptin receptor gene (lepr) have been proposed as possible modulator of adipose tissue and body weight. The main phenomenological consequence reported of these SNPs is the modulation of the LEP-LEPR interaction promoting the weight gain. Particularly, Q223R polymorphism has … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2013 · 7,835 accessesView PDFCite
