BACKGROUND: A total of 62,591 cowpea expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were BLAST aligned to the whole-genome sequence of barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) to develop conserved intron scanning primers (CISPs). The efficacy of the primers was tested across 10 different legumes and on different varieties of ...

Genetic variants associated with fetal hemoglobin levels show the diverse ethnic origin in Colombian patients with sickle cell anemia

Fong, Cristian; Menzel, Stephan; Lizarralde, María Alejandra; Barreto, Guillermo.

Biomédica (Bogotá); 35 (3), 2015

Introduction: Fetal hemoglobin is an important factor in modulating the severity of sickle cell anemia. Its level in peripheral blood underlies strong genetic determination. Associated loci with increased levels of fetal hemoglobin display population-specific allele frequencies. Objective: We investigate...

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (2), 2015

Background This study aimed to identify and select informative Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers that may be linked to resistance to important groundnut diseases such as Early Leaf Spot, Groundnut Rosette Disease, rust and aflatoxin contamination. To this end, 799 markers were screened across 16 farme...

Pleiotropic effects of the sdw1 locus in barley populations representing different rounds of recombination

Kuczyńska, Anetta; Mikołajczak, Krzysztof; Ćwiek, Hanna.

Electron. j. biotechnol; 17 (5), 2014

Background In the present study populations, representing different rounds of recombination were used for the analysis of phenotypic effects associated with the sdw1/denso locus. Other studies have mostly focused only on one type of population. Many different QTLs mapped at the same position as the sdw1/...
