Cytokinesis and cancer: Polo loves ROCK‘n’ Rho(A)
Jing Li, Jue Wang, Hong Jiao, Ji Liao, Xingzhi Xu
2010, 37(3): 159-172. doi: 10.1016/S1673-8527(09)60034-5

Abstract:
Cytokinesis is the last step of the M (mitosis) phase, yet it is crucial for the faithful division of one cell into two. Cytokinesis failure is often associated with cancer. Cytokinesis can be morphologically divided into four steps: cleavage furrow initiation, cleavage furrow ingression, midbody fo...
A new insight into cattle's maternal origin in six Asian countries
Shangang Jia, Yan Zhou, Chuzhao Lei, Ru Yao, Zhiying Zhang, Xingtang Fang, Hong Chen
2010, 37(3): 173-180. doi: 10.1016/S1673-8527(09)60035-7

Abstract:
The domestication of cattle fuelled the development of agricultural society in the history of human being. The evolution and genetic relationship of cattle can be elucidated by investigating the variation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop sequence. In this study, we built a cattle phylogeny with a...
A novel marker for the platyfish (Xiphophorus maculatus) W chromosome is derived from a Polinton transposon
Qingchun Zhou, Ingo Braasch, Alexander Froschauer, Astrid Böhne, Christina Schultheis, Manfred Schartl, Jean-Nicolas Volff
2010, 37(3): 181-188. doi: 10.1016/S1673-8527(09)60036-9

Abstract:
A consensus sequence, encoding a putative DNA polymerase type B derived from a Polinton transposon, was assembled from the sex determination region of Xiphophorus maculatus. This predicted protein, which is 1,158 aa in length, contains a DNA_pol_B_2 domain and a DTDS motif. The DNA polymerase type B...
Induction of chromosomal inversion by integration of T-DNA in the rice genome
Chuanfeng Zhu, Jiahe Wu, Chaozu He
2010, 37(3): 189-196. doi: 10.1016/S1673-8527(09)60037-0

Abstract:
Transfer DNA (T-DNA) of Agrobacterium tumefaciens integration in the plant genome may lead to rearrangements of host plant chromosomal fragments, including inversions. However, there is very little information concerning the inversion. The present study reports a transgenic rice line selected from a...
The linkage maps of Dendrobium species based on RAPD and SRAP markers
Dawei Xue, Shangguo Feng, Hongyan Zhao, Hua Jiang, Bo Shen, Nongnong Shi, Jiangjie Lu, Junjun Liu, Huizhong Wang
2010, 37(3): 197-204. doi: 10.1016/S1673-8527(09)60038-2

Abstract:
Dendrobium plants are used commonly as tonic herbs and health food in many Asian countries, especially in China. Here we report the genetic map construction of two Dendrobium species with a double pseudo-testcross strategy using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and sequence-related amplified ...
A gene family-based method for interspecies comparisons of sequencing-based transcriptomes and its use in environmental adaptation analysis
Zuozhou Chen, Hua Ye, Longhai Zhou, Chi-Hing C. Cheng, Liangbiao Chen
2010, 37(3): 205-218. doi: 10.1016/S1673-8527(09)60039-4
Abstract (96) HTML PDF (0)
Abstract:
We describe a new method for sequencing-based cross-species transcriptome comparisons and define a new metric for evaluating gene expression across species using protein-coding families as units of comparison. Using this measure transcriptomes from different species were evaluated by mapping them to...
