Intron length polymorphism (ILP) is a new type of PCR-based molecular markers with many advantages. We had previously developed 172 ILP markers in rice using the published genome sequence data of indica cultivar 93-11 and ja-ponica cultivar Nipponbare. In order to examine the reliability and the applicability of these ILP markers to genetic map-ping, we constructed a rice genetic map consisting of 172 ILP and 13 SSR markers with a total length of 1 905.7 cM using a BC1F1 (Nipponbare/93-11//Nipponbare) population. Comparison showed that the order of the markers in this map was ex-actly the same as their physical order, verifying the feasibility and efficiency of using ILP markers for genetic mapping. We also investigated the phenomenon of marker segregation distortion and found a region of serious segregation distortion in the short arm of chromosome 6.

Background: Markers of inflammation and cannabis exposure are associated with an increased risk of mental disorders. In the current study, we investigated associations between cannabis use and biomarkers of inflammation.
Methods: Utilizing a sample of 914 participants from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, we investigated whether interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), C-reactive protein (CRP), and soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) measured at age 24 were associated with past year daily cannabis use, less frequent cannabis use, and no past year cannabis use.

Miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) are a potent source of polymorphisms in plant genomes. A genotyping system, named DcS-ILP, based on polymorphic insertions of Stowaway MITEs (DcStos) localized in introns and identified in the reference genome DH1, has been developed for carrot. Here, we report an extension of the DcS-ILP genotyping system by incorporation of non-reference insertions identified in resequenced genomes representing the eastern gene pool.

Background: Investigating the contributory role that epithelial cell metabolism plays in allergic inflammation is a key factor to understanding what influences dysfunction and the pathogenesis of the allergic disease eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). We previously highlighted that the absence of hypoxia signaling through hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α in EoE contributes to esophageal epithelial dysfunction. However, metabolic regulation by HIF-1α has not been explored in esophageal allergy.

The investigation of the effects of artificial 50 Hz electric field (E-field) frequency on Apis mellifera is a relatively new field of research. Since the current literature focuses mainly on short-term effects, it is unknown whether E-fields have permanent effects on bees or whether their effects can be neutralized. In this study we assessed gene expression immediately after exposure to the E-field, as well as 7 days after exposure.

The market value of tea is largely dependent on the tea species and cultivar. Therefore, it is important to develop efficient molecular markers covering the entire tea genome that can be used for the identification of tea varieties, marker-assisted breeding, and mapping important quantitative trait loci for beneficial traits. In this study, genome-wide molecular markers based on intron length polymorphism (ILP) were developed for tea trees.
