Historical Distribution and Molecular Diversity of Bacillus anthracis, Kazakhstan

To map the distribution of anthrax outbreaks and strain subtypes in Kazakhstan during 1937-2005, we combined geographic information system technology and genetic analysis by using archived cultures and data. Biochemical and genetic tests confirmed the identity of 93 archived cultures in the Kazakhstan National Culture Collection as Bacillus anthracis. Multilocus variable number tandem repeat an...

Triosephosphate isomerase deficiency: historical perspectives and molecular aspects.

In this chapter, the original descriptions and pre-molecular studies of triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) deficiency are summarized, and the molecular aspects of the disease presented. The gene is well characterized, and several mutations have been described. Structure-function studies have led to an increased understanding of impaired catalysis. All kindreds that have been studied with the predo...

Molecular and genetic aspects of odontogenic tumors: a review

Odontogenic tumors contain a heterogeneous collection of lesions that are categorized from hamartomas to benign and malignant neoplasms of inconstant aggressiveness. Odontogenic tumors are usually extraordinary with assessed frequency of short of 0.5 cases/100,000 population for every year. The lesions such as odontogenic tumors are inferred from the components of the tooth-structuring contrapt...
