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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Single and Combined Effect of MC4R and GH Genes on Productive Traits of PigsLyubov Getmantseva, Maria Leonova, Aleksander Usatov et al.The aim of our work is to identify the single and combined effect of MC4R and GH polymorphism genes on growth and reproduction traits of pigs. The study was carried out on 204 crossbred F1 females (♀Landrace х ♂Large White) of the Breeding Farm in Russia. The analyzed productive traits were: The number of Days to 100-kg (Days to 100 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2017 · 8,115 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Molecular Markers ISSR, SSR and RFLP to Study the Genetic Variation of Strawberry CultivarsGanies Riza Aristya, Rina Kasiamdari, Muhammad Fauzi Arif et al.Strawberry is grown in Indonesia because it has potential high economic value. The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship of phenetic lineage and genetic variations in 12 strawberry cultivars using three different molecular marker methods, including ISSR, SSR and RFLP. Five primers of ISSR markers were used and they generated 53 bands with 44 polymorphic DNA bands. Percentage … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 19 Mar 2019 · 9,182 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) from Mediterranean to Sub-Saharan AreasRosa Chillemi, Andrea Angius, Ivana Persico et al.There are differences in the allele frequency of MTHFR polymorphism between Western and African population. The aim of this study is to determinate the prevalence of MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms in young and old people living in different areas from Mediterranean to sub-Saharan areas. The observed vs expected genotype frequencies of 677T were in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, with the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,590 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Improvement of SNP Search Using Multithread ProgrammingGeraldo Francisco Donegá Zafalon, Álvaro Magri Nogueira da Cruz, Anderson Rici Amorim et al.Pattern recognition is an important field in Bioinformatics and a well-known task is the search for Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP). It is possible to search for a known SNP position and analyze it using patterns of DNA bases, called masks. Nonetheless, this process becomes computationally expensive as the amount of available genomic data increases. Thus, in this study, we have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 7 Nov 2018 · 7,734 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractBig Data and Parkinson’s Disease - from Understanding of Disease to Personalised MedicineYen F. Tai, Nicola PaveseThe advancement of information technology in recent years has generated a huge amount of datasets in all areas of scientific research. This has led to new opportunities to harness the 'Big Data' to improve our understanding of diseases - from investigating disease mechanisms to monitoring treatment responses. The Big Data approach is a data-driven and often hypothesis-free, way of studying … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,755 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite
