Researchers discover new mutant gene

Detection of a new canine parvovirus mutant in Iran

BACKGROUND: Canine Parvovirus (CPV) is one of the major causes of fatal gastroenteritis in young dogs. After emergence of CPV-2, two new variants were reported and named CPV-2a and CPV-2b. In 2001 the newest variant was reported and named CPV-2c. The difference between CPV strains is related to amino acid changes in viral capsid protein (VP2). OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was geneti...

Polysyndactyly, a new mutant gene in the mouse.

The gene for polysyndactyly (Ps) arose during a neutron irradiation experiment at the M.R.C. Radiobiological Unit at Harwell (Batchelor, Phillips & Searle, 1966), and was offered to the author in November 1964. The mice from Harwell were outcrossed to CB $? (the Fx of CBA/Gr &?xC57 BL/Gr $?). The stock was outcrossed again in late 1966 to improve fertility. Rigorous brother/sister mating has no...

Using Discretization Techniques to Discover Gene Patterns for Diagnostics

After the draft of Human genome project was published and the powerful high–throughput microarray technology is available, the discovery of discriminating gene patterns becomes important. In this paper, we propose methods to analyze the huge amount of microarray data in both spatial and temporal directions. Entropy-based discretization is first performed with the purpose of not only getting rid...
