Divergent regulatory mechanisms in the response of respiratory chain component genes to carbohydrates suggests a model for gene evolution after duplication
(Landes Bioscience, 2009-04)
The biogenesis of the plant mitochondrial respiratory chain needs the coordinated synthesis and assembly of the products of more than 100 genes located in the nucleus and within the organelle. One of the factors that ...
Plant growth-promoting genes can switch to be virulence factors via horizontal gene transfer
(Springer, 2018-10)
There are increasing evidences that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a critical mechanism of bacterial evolution, while its complete impact remains unclear. A main constraint of HGT effects on microbial evolution seems ...
Coarse-grain reconstruction of genetic networks from expression levels
(Elsevier Science, 2011-06)
In the postgenome era many efforts have been dedicated to systematically elucidate the complex web of interacting genes and proteins. These efforts include experimental and computational methods. Microarray technology ...
Cytokine-enhanced vaccine and suicide gene therapy as adjuvant treatments of metastatic melanoma in a horse
(British Veterinary Association, 2009-02)
We evaluated the safety, efficacy and anti-tumour effects of a surgery adjuvant treatment on an equine patient with metastatic malignant melanoma. This approach combined suicide gene therapy with a subcutaneous vaccine ...
Inferring Unknown Biological Function by Integration of GO Annotations and Gene Expression Data
(IEEE Computer Society, 2018-01)
Characterizing genes with semantic information is an important process regarding the description of gene products. In spite that complete genomes of many organisms have been already sequenced, the biological functions of ...
Identification and evaluation of antioxidant and reference genes for quantitative real-time PCR in blood of Caiman latirostris
(Elsevier Science, 2021-02)
The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) has been one of the most promising approaches to perform rapid and accurate quantification of DNA in various biological systems. The aim of this study was to ...
Fish and AgNor-mapping of the 45S and 5S rRNA genes in wild and cultivated Capsicum species (Solananceae)
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2016-02)
Chromosome number and position of rDNA were studied in 12 wild and cultivated species of the genus Capsicum with chromosome numbers x = 12 and x = 13 (22 samples). For the first time in these species, the 5S and 45S rRNA ...
Genotyping and study of adherence-related genes of Streptococcus uberis isolates from bovine mastitis
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-05)
The aim of this study was to determine the presence, conservation, and distribution of 6 potential adherence genes and their relationship with diverse molecular types in 34 S. uberis isolated from bovine mastitis in ...
Assessment of reference genes for real-time quantitative PCR normalization in Ilex paraguariensis leaves during drought
(Czech Academy of Sciences. Institute of Experimental Botany, 2018-01)
Reverse transcription of RNA followed by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) is to date the most reliable method for gene expression studies. However, to control the errors introduced along the numerous experimental procedures, ...
Comparative Genomics, Evolution, and Drought-Induced Expression of Dehydrin Genes in Model Brachypodium Grasses
(MDPI, 2021-12)
Dehydration proteins (dehydrins, DHNs) confer tolerance to water-stress deficit in plants. We performed a comparative genomics and evolutionary study of DHN genes in four model Brachy-podium grass species. Due to limited ...
