Tudor domain containing protein 1 (tdrd1) is a member of the Tudor family and has shown essential functions during embryogenesis and gametogenesis. In this study, we cloned the full length cDNA of Paralichthys olivaceus tdrd1 (Potdrd1). PoTDRD1 is a multidomain protein with an N-terminal MYND zinc finger domain, followed by four tandem extended Tudor domains. Sequence comparison, genomic structure,...
The complete mitochondrial genome is greatly important for studies on genetic structure and phylogenetic relationship at various taxonomic levels. To obtain information about the evolutionary trends of mtDNA in the Ulvophyceae and also to gain insights into the phylogenetic relationships between ulvophytes and other chlorophytes, we determined the mtDNA sequence of Caulerpa lentillifera (sea grape)...
Luteolin is a flavonoid compound derived from Lonicera japonica Thunb, which has been reported to exert anticancer effects on different types of tumors. miRNAs are a kind of endogenous non-coding small RNAs, which involved in occurrence and development of multi cancer, including miR-34a. However, the relationship between miR-34a and luteolin's susceptibility to cancer cells still remains unclear....
Brachydactyly type A2 (BDA2) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by the deformation of the middle phalanx of the second fingers and toes. It has been reported to be associated with three genes regulating the osteogenesis, including BMPR1B, GDF5 and BMP2.10 BDA2 patients and 7 unaffected individuals in a Chinese family were identified through clinical signs and radiographs. The mutation...
The spotted knifejaw (Oplegnathus punctatus) is a newly emerging fishery species inhabiting the Pacific Ocean around Hawaii, China, Japan and Korean Peninsula. Little information on the mechanism of gonadal development and gametogenesis in this species could be used for research and breeding work. In this study, RNA-seq technology was applied to generate a deep-coverage sequencing data of spotted...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects approximately 1–2% of general population. Chronic inflammation plays an important role in AF development and interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine. This study aimed to assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL-18 for with AF risk. Blood samples were taken from 243 AF patients and 160 non-AF individuals from a Chinese population...
Gene cloning is the first step to study the expression profiles and functions of a particular gene; considerable cloning methods have been developed. Expansin, thought to involve in the cell-wall modification events, was not cloned in ramie (Boehmeria nivea L.), which is one of the most important bast fiber crops with little conducted molecular research, especially on its fiber development. Studying...
Trichlorophenols, also known as TCPs, are one of the most persistent environmental pollutants. It is a matter of concern as they are toxic and cumulative in soil and water bodies which could lead to serious consequences to the biosphere. How plants respond to this compound has rarely been examined previously. In our study, detailed morphological and physiological responses of Arabidopsis to 2,4,6-trichlorophenol,...
Development of a qPCR test for the detection of trisomy 21 using segmental duplications.Segmental duplications in the TTC3 gene on chromosome 21 and the KDM2A gene on chromosome 11 were selected as molecular markers for the diagnostic qPCR assay. A set of consensus primers selected from the conserved regions of these segmental duplications were used to amplify internal diverse sequences that were...
The hedgehog signaling pathway plays an important role in lung morphogenesis and cellular responses to lung injury. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and integrative genomics approaches have demonstrated the associations between HHIP polymorphisms and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and in non-Asian populations. Here we investigated whether HHIP polymorphisms would also be associated...
Nannochloropsis sp. is an oil-rich microalga. The lipid content of cells at stationary growth phase was much higher than that of cells at logarithm growth phase, but very little information focusing on the abundances of gene transcripts concerning lipid accumulation is available. In present study, the second generation Illumina sequencing was used to investigate the genes and pathways of Nannochloropsis...
We analyzed the dynamic defense transcriptome responsive to Fusarium oxysporum infection in Arabidopsis using a strand-specific RNA-sequencing approach. Following infection, 177 and 571 genes were up-regulated, 30 and 125 genes were down-regulated at 1 day-post-inoculation (1DPI) and 6DPI, respectively. Of these genes, 116 were up-regulated and seven down-regulated at both time points, suggesting...
Plants have developed complex signaling networks to regulate biochemical and physiological acclimation, environmental signals were perceived and transmitted to cellular machinery to activate adaptive responses. Here, a novel drought responsive histidine kinase gene was identified and designated as ZmHK9. Under normal conditions, ZmHK9 was predominantly expressed in roots, and the roots of ZmHK9-OX...
Large numbers of microRNAs (miRNAs) reportedly play important roles in plant development. However, none has been reported in Pinellia pedatisecta, an important aroid medicinal plant that possesses the only pedate leaf blades and the largest tubers and inflorescences among all Pinellia species. To detect the miRNAs from P. pedatisecta, an in situ synthesized custom miRNA microarray was employed, following...
A large number of microRNAs (miRNAs) reportedly play important roles in plant development; however, scarcely any of these have been found in Pinellia ternata, a herbaceous plant with special physiologic characteristics and important medicinal value. To detect P. ternata miRNAs, an in situ synthesized custom microarray of plant miRNAs was employed, following verification of the presence of the miRNAs...
