Functional selection of genetic suppressor elements (GSEs), engineered gene fragments that interfere with the function of a particular gene product, was used to identify regulators of FAS-induced apoptosis. Chicken DF-1 cells expressing human FAS receptor and susceptible to FAS-induced apoptosis were infected with a GSE library consisting of randomly fragmented normalized chicken cDNAs in a rep...

An integrative taxonomic analysis of species in the colubrid genus Lycodon Fitzinger, 1826 recovered two new syntopic L. rufozonatus complex from imperiled Song Giang River valley Khan Hoa Province, Southern Vietnam. Although truongi sp. nov. and anakradaya are syntopic, they not particularly closely related can be differentiated each other all on basis meristics, morphometrics, color pattern, ...

In spite of the potential richness in biodiversity, Manipur is still one least explored areas northeastern India. this work, we report on our finding four pit viper species, namely, Trimeresurus mayaae, T. salazar, erythrurus, and Protobothrops jerdonii during herpetological surveys 2022. We affirm identity these specimens based combination standard morphological characters mitochondrial cytoch...

Very slight sequence differences in the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, even single nucleotide substitutions, have been proposed as indicative of different species of avian malaria parasites. However, few studies have examined within-species variation in that gene for Plasmodium or related genera. We examined sequences for the entire cytochrome b gene from Plasmodium mexicanum , a parasite of ...

Using next-generation sequencing technology, we describe the complete mitochondrial genomes for 5 Australian passerine birds (Epthianura albifrons, Petroica phoenicea, Petroica goodenovii, Petroica boodang, and Eopsaltria australis). We successfully assemble each mitogenome de novo using just 1/8th of a Roche GL FSX 454 pyrosequencing plate. From the assembled mitogenomes, we identify 2 differe...

The present study was carried out to validate the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in mitochondrial gene- cytochrome b oxidase at 14,716 bp (C T transition) position obtained from whole genome sequence data of indigenous cattle breeds Department Animal Genetics and Breeding, Madras Veterinary College, Tamil Nadu. A total 288 animals, viz. Alambadi (16), Bargur (99), Kangayam (54), Pulikulam...

A technique to isolate DNA from deer meat was established authenticate the species and successfully extracted meat. The method based on Epicentre MasterPureTM Complete RNA Purification Kit extraction kit with slight modification by increasing volume of Proteinase K RNase 5 µL 20 each. recovery then analysed Polymerase Chain Reaction using cytochrome b gene oligonucleotide primers for family, wh...

Cytochrome b, coded by mitochondrial DNA, is one of the cytochromes involved in electron transport in the respiratory chain of mitochondria. Cytochrome b is a critical intermediate in a mitochondrial death pathway. To reveal whether cytochrome b of the mosquito Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) (AeaCytB) is developmentally regulated, we used real-time quantitative polymerase chain reactio...

Two cichlid populations each found on separate islands in the Bocas del Toro archipelago, Panama were identified as members the genus Astatheros. DNA from each population was isolated and purified and the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b was used as a molecular marker. Resulting sequences were compared with already published cytochrome b sequences of Astatheros from an internet database. Phyloge...

Cytochrome b, coded by mitochondrial DNA, is one of the cytochromes involved in electron transport in the respiratory chain of mitochondria. Cytochrome b is a critical intermediate in amitochondrial death pathway. To revealwhether cytochromebof themosquitoAedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) (AeaCytB) is developmentally regulated, we used real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPC...
