Background: DNA markers are inevitable tools of human identification in forensic science. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are one category of these markers which is concerned to use especially in the case of degraded DNA because of their short amplicons. Objectives: Detection of highly informative SNPs by the criteria is the essential step to devel...

Obesity is a multifactorial disease whose onset and development are shaped by the individual genetic background. The melanocortin 4 receptor gene (MC4R) involved in regulation of food intake energy expenditure. Some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) this related to obesity metabolic risk factors. present study was undertaken assess relationship between three polymorphism SNPs, namely, rs17...

Aedes aegypti, the primary vector of dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses, is known to be resistant pyrethroid-based insecticides in Florida. To improve our knowledge on mechanism(s) responsible for this resistance, we sequenced 106 Ae. aegypti individuals collected from throughout Florida examined mutations a insecticide resistance gene, voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC; AAEL0...

Purpose: to investigate genetic recurrence and molecular markers for dyslexia in two candidate genes the Brazilian population. Methods: a cross-sectional, case-control, observational study, with five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) studied DYX1C1 KIAA0319 86 subjects 66 controls, matched gender age. SNPs were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction technique real time, distribution of ...

Advances in genotyping technologies have transformed the way breeding programs manage their genetic resources. The identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can improve understanding diversity maize (Zea mays) inbred lines and classification into heterotic groups, which is useful determining certain crosses to obtain hybrids with higher yield performance. 293 was investigated 525...

Pinctada fucata, the pearl oyster, is a bivalve primarily cultivated for production of saltwater pearls. In this study, genome-wide association study (GWAS) growth-related traits and principal components analysis (PCA) in P. fucata were performed. Genomic parameters 6 60 individuals estimated by using 4,937,162 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A total 45 SNPs associated with growth thus ...

The development of efficient methods for genome–wide association studies (GWAS) between quantitative trait loci (QTL) and genetic values is extremely important to animal plant breeding programs. Bayesian approaches that aim select regions single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) proved be efficient, indicating genes with effects. Among the selection criteria SNPs or regions, criterion by percenta...

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) removes UV-induced DNA damage and other bulky DNA lesions, thereby maintaining genomic integrity. Dr Qingyi Wei's group demonstrated over the last decade that NER fidelity and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in NER genes constitute melanoma risk biomarkers. In this issue, Li et al. provide evidence that SNPs in NER genes may also predict melanoma survival.

This study investigated the association between both polymorphisms and metabolic marker changes of leptin gene, body weight, weight gain, carcass traits, feed intake, conversion ratio. Blood samples were collected from 60 V-line Baladi Black rabbits for DNA extraction biochemical analysis. sequencing (202-bp) revealed four non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) that characterized ...
