Complete chloroplast genome of the Jewel Orchid, Anoectochilus formosanus (Orchidaceae) and its relatives

Rev. biol. trop; 72 (1), 2024
Abstract Introduction: Anoectochilus formosanus is a highly valuable herb known for its efficacy in treating a wide range of diseases. However, the current methods used to differentiate this species from others within the same genus are not effective due to the high similarity in morphological character...

Genetic Variants of MSX1, PAX9, and AXIN2 in Mayan Probands with Dental Agenesis from Yucatan, Mexico

Odovtos (En línea); 26 (3), 2024
Abstract The present study aimed to determine the genetic variants of PAX9, MSX1, and AXIN2 in Mayan probands with non-syndromic dental agenesis (NSDA) from Yucatan, Mexico. We sequenced DNA of specific exons of the PAX9, MSX1, and AXIN2 genes by using the Sanger method in seven Mayan probands with famil...

Integrated analysis reveals potential significance of FKBP5 in the prognosis and immunity of osteoarthritis and pan-cancer

BACKGROUND The high disability rate of osteoarthritis (OA), a joint disease with an insidious onset and widespread effects, places a heavy financial burden on patients, families, and society. Traditional diagnostic approaches, including radiology and physical examination, cannot achieve early-stage scree...

Draft genome sequence of a halotolerant plant growth-promoting bacterium Pseudarthrobacter oxydans NCCP-2145 isolated from rhizospheric soil of mangrove plant Avicennia marin

BACKGROUND Limited knowledge exists regarding the diversity of mangrove plant-associated Pseudarthrobacter species. This study presents the first draft genome and phylogenetic analysis of a Pseudarthrobacter oxydans NCCP-2145, isolated from the rhizospheric soil of Aviciana marina, a native mangrove plan...

Genomic constellations of RVA detected in Brazil from 1986 to 2016: a temporal and geographical distribution and occurrence of reassortments

ABCS health sci; 48 (), 2023
INTRODUCTION: Species A rotavirus (RVA) infections are a major cause of severe gastroenteritis in children of <5 years worldwide. In Brazil, before vaccination, RVA was associated with 3.5 million episodes of acute diarrheal disease per year. Due to the segmented nature of their genomes, rotaviruses can ...

Biomarcadores convencionales y emergentes en hepatitis B

Hepatología; 4 (2), 2023
A nivel mundial, 300 millones de personas están infectadas por el virus de la hepatitis B (VHB). A pesar de que existe una vacuna que previene la infección y se dispone de tratamiento antiviral que suprime la replicación del virus, no hay cura aún. El principal problema que evita la recuperación tot...

Tracking the evolutionary pathways among Brazilian Lebiasina species (Teleostei: Lebiasinidae): a chromosomal and genomic comparative investigation

Neotrop. ichthyol; 20 (1), 2022
Despite several difficulties in chromosomal analyses of small-sized fishes, the cytogenetics of the Lebiasinidae was largely improved in the last years, showing differential patterns in the chromosomal evolution inside the family. In this context, it has been shown that genus Lebiasina preserves its kary...

GenoType MTBDRsl for detection of second-line drugs and ethambutol resistance in multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates at a high-throughput laboratory

We assessed the performance of MTBDRsl for detection of resistance to fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides/cyclic peptides, and ethambutol compared to BACTEC MGIT 960 by subjecting simultaneously to both tests 385 phenotypically multidrug-resistant-Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Sao Paulo, Brazil....

Nueva clasificación molecular del carcinoma de endometrio: impacto en el diagnóstico histopatológico, tratamiento y pronóstico

MedUNAB; 24 (3), 2021
Introducción. El carcinoma de endometrio es una patología heterogénea a nivel patogénico, histopatológico y molecular. En los últimos años se han sumado esfuerzos para esclarecer y aumentar el conocimiento de las bases moleculares, logrando así dividir las pacientes en cuatro subgrupos descritos ...

In silico genomic and proteomic analyses of three heat shock proteins (HSP70, HSP90-a, and HSP90-b) in even-toed ungulates

BACKGROUND Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play important roles in the responses to different environmental stresses. In this study, the genomic and proteomic characteristics of three HSPs (HSP70, HSP90-a and HSP90-b) in five even-toed ungulates (sheep, goats, water buffalo, Zebu cattle and cattle) were analy...
