This study used a multi-analytical approach based on traditional microbiological methods for cultivation and isolation of heterotrophic bacteria in the laboratory associated with the molecular identification of the isolates and physicochemical analysis of environmental samples. The model chosen for data integration was supported by knowledge from computational neuroscience, and composed by three modules: (i) microbiological parameters, contemplating taxonomic data obtained from the partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene from 80 colonies of heterotrophic bacteria isolated by plating method in PCA media. For bacterial colonies isolation were used water samples from Atibaia and Jaguarí rivers collected at the site of water captation for use in effluent treatment, upstream from the entrance of treated effluent from the Paulínia refinery (REPLAN/Petrobras) located in the Paulínia-SP municipality, from the output of the biological treatment plant with stabilization pond and from the raw refinery wastewater; (ii) chemical parameters, ending measures of dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chloride, acidity CaCO3, alkalinity, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, dissolved ions, sulfides, oils and greases; and (iii) physical parameters, comprising the pH determination, conductivity, temperature, transparency, settleable solids, suspended and soluble solids, volatile material, remaining fixing material (RFM), apparent color and turbidity. The results revealed interesting theoretical relationships involving two families of bacteria (Carnobacteriaceae and Aeromonadaceae). Carnobacteriaceae revealed positive theoretical relationships with COD, BOD, nitrate, chloride, temperature, conductivity and apparent color and negative theoretical relationships with the OD. Positive theoretical relationships were shown between Aeromonadaceae and OD and nitrate, while this bacterial family showed negative theoretical...

As formigas do gênero Cephalotes, rapidamente identificadas por suas operárias polimórficas de cutícula resistente e cabeça achatada possuem seu sucesso ecológico creditado à sua dieta predominantemente generalista e nidificação em cavidades pré-existentes de troncos de árvores. Possuem hábitos exclusivamente arborícolas e ocorrem nos trópicos e subtrópicos do Novo Mundo possuindo ampla distribuição geográfica. O grupo apresenta uma interessante associação com microorganismos. No presente trabalho foi feita a caracterização molecular e estudo de relações filogenéticas do gênero através da amplificação e sequenciamento de fragmento do gene 28S do DNA Nuclear de três populações localizadas em Rio Claro-SP e São José do Rio Preto-SP de duas espécies de Cephalotes: C. pusillus e C. clypeatus. Também foi feito o levantamento da ocorrência e frequência do endossimbionte Wolbachia em sete populações de Cephalotes localizadas em São José do Rio Preto-SP, Guaraci-SP, São Carlos-SP, Araraquara-SP, Delfinópolis-MG e Rio Claro-SP; abrangendo três espécies: C. pusillus, C. clypeatus e C. atratus. Esse levantamento foi realizado com a utilização de ferramentas moleculares para a análise do gene codificador da proteína de superfície de membrana do endossimbionte, o wsp. Para analises de filogenia e também do endossimbionte, foi realizada a extração do DNA total de operárias, a amplificação do gene através da técnica de PCR utilizando os primers já estabelecidos e em seguida, as amostras foram sequenciadas pelo método de Sanger. Os resultados obtidos mostraram relações monofiléticas dentro da subfamília Myrmicinae, a qual pertence o gênero Cephalotes. As análises do gene 28S trouxeram resultados otimistas no estudo da caracterização molecular do grupo. Os resultados da analise do endossimbionte corroboraram com estudos anteriores com outras espécies do gênero Cephalotes, onde ocorreu alta...

Molecular findings that confirmed the participation of ovine herpesvirus 2 (OVH-2) in the lesions that were consistent with those observed in malignant catarrhal fever of cattle are described. Three mixed-breed cattle from Rio Grande do Norte state demonstrated clinical manifestations that included mucopurulent nasal discharge, corneal opacity and motor incoordination. Routine necropsy examination demonstrated ulcerations and hemorrhage of the oral cavity, corneal opacity, and lymph node enlargement. Significant histopathological findings included widespread necrotizing vasculitis, non-suppurative meningoencephalitis, lymphocytic interstitial nephritis and hepatitis, and thrombosis. PCR assay performed on DNA extracted from kidney and mesenteric lymph node of one animal amplified a product of 423 base pairs corresponding to a target sequence within the ovine herpesvirus 2 (OVH-2) tegument protein gene. Direct sequencing of the PCR products, from extracted DNA of the kidney and mesenteric lymph node of one cow, amplified the partial nucleotide sequences (423 base pairs) of OVH-2 tegument protein gene. Blast analysis confirmed that these sequences have 98-100% identity with similar OVH-2 sequences deposited in GenBank. Phylogenetic analyses, based on the deduced amino acid sequences, demonstrated that the strain of OVH-2 circulating in ruminants from the Brazilian states of Rio Grande do Norte and Minas Gerais are similar to that identified in other geographical locations. These findings confirmed the active participation of OVH-2 in the classical manifestations of sheep associated malignant catarrhal fever.

Scrapie ou paraplexia enzoótica dos ovinos é uma doença neurodegenerativa fatal que acomete ovinos e raramente caprinos. A doença é influenciada por polimorfismos nos códons 136, 154 e 171 do gene prnp que codifica a proteína priônica. Os animais podem ser susceptíveis ou resistentes, de acordo com as sequências alélicas observadas nos referidos códons. No Brasil ocorreram apenas casos de animais que foram importados, sendo o país considerado livre da doença. Neste trabalho foi realizada a genotipagem dos diferentes polimorfismos associados ao desenvolvimento do scrapie e a categorização em animais susceptíveis e resistentes. Foram sequenciadas 118 amostras provenientes de ovinos da raça Santa Inês criados em propriedades localizadas no Estado de São Paulo. Destas amostras foram identificados 6 alelos e 11 genótipos (ARQ/ARQ, ARR/ARQ, ARQ/AHQ, ARQ/VRQ, AHQ/AHQ, ARR/ARR, ARR/AHQ, VRQ/VRQ, ARQ/TRQ, TRR/TRR, TRQ/TRQ), dentre os quais o genótipo ARQ/ARQ teve ocorrência de 56,7%. Em nosso estudo foi detectada a presença da tirosina no códon 136, observação rara na medida em que não existem relatos nacionais e internacionais envolvendo a raça Santa Inês descrevendo este polimorfismo. Com os resultados obtidos, foi possível determinar a existência de grande variabilidade genética relacionada à raça Santa Inês no Estado de São Paulo. Apesar da variabilidade, apenas 1,69% dos genótipos observados mostraram-se extremamente resistentes ao scrapie. Estes dados demonstram que a raça nativa Santa Inês pode ser considerada potencialmente susceptível ao scrapie.

In order to obtain a better understanding of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) strain movements in central Europe the E gene sequences of 102 TBEV strains collected from 1953 to 2011 at 38 sites in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Germany were determined. Bayesian analysis suggests a 350-year history of evolution and spread in central Europe of two main lineages, A and B. In contrast to the east to west spread at the Eurasian continent level, local central European spreading patterns suggest historic west to east spread followed by more recent east to west spread. The phylogenetic and network analyses indicate TBEV ingressions from the Czech Republic and Slovakia into Germany via landscape features (Danube river system), biogenic factors (birds, red deer) and anthropogenic factors. The identification of endemic foci showing local genetic diversity is of paramount importance to the field as these will be a prerequisite for in-depth analysis of focal TBEV maintenance and long-distance TBEV spread.

Genome-wide association studies have failed to establish common variant risk for the majority of common human diseases. The underlying reasons for this failure are explained by recent studies of resequencing and comparison of over 1200 human genomes and 10 000 exomes, together with the delineation of DNA methylation patterns (epigenome) and full characterization of coding and noncoding RNAs (transcriptome) being transcribed. These studies have provided the most comprehensive catalogues of functional elements and genetic variants that are now available for global integrative analysis and experimental validation in prospective cohort studies. With these datasets, researchers will have unparalleled opportunities for the alignment, mining, and testing of hypotheses for the roles of specific genetic variants, including copy number variations, single nucleotide polymorphisms, and indels as the cause of specific phenotypes and diseases. Through the use of next-generation sequencing technologies for genotyping and standardized ontological annotation to systematically analyze the effects of genomic variation on humans and model organism phenotypes, we will be able to find candidate genes and new clues for disease’s etiology and treatment. This article describes essential concepts in genetics and genomic technologies as well as the emerging computational framework to comprehensively search websites and platforms available for the analysis and interpretation of genomic data.

[ES] El ADN es un polímero que contiene la mayor parte de la información necesaria para el desarrollo y funcionamiento de todos los organismos vivos conocidos. La información está fraccionada en diferentes segmentos, los genes, que contienen variables que son individuales y que determinan las características de cada persona. Hay dos que son de especial importancia para la atención sanitaria: la susceptibilidad genética de padecer una enfermedad y la capacidad de responder de forma diferencial a un medicamento, denominado farmacogenética. Poder identificar dichas variantes puede ayudar a comprender la enfermedad e individualizar el tratamiento del paciente respectivamente. Para conocer estas variantes debemos conocer la secuencia de ADN de los genes implicados en las patologías o en las características farmacogenéticas para un individuo determinado, un proceso denominado secuenciación. Sin embargo, existen técnicas para seleccionar y secuenciar el exoma, que es la parte del genoma que contienen los exones, fracciones de los genes que contienen la información necesaria para la fabricación de las proteínas. La secuenciación de exoma cubre la mayor parte de los exones del genoma, pero no detecta algunas regiones, lo que imposibilita la detección de variantes en ellas. Este hecho crea una incertidumbre diagnóstica, lo que limita el poder de esta herramienta para la detección de mutaciones patogénicas. Así, el objetivo principal del Trabajo Fin de Grado es la creación de una herramienta informática que permita al personal clínico, la detección de regiones del exoma con poca cobertura de secuenciación, es decir, regiones del ADN con una frecuencia de lectura baja comparándolo con respecto al genoma de referencia.
