Molecular genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Mie Prefecture, Japan, using variable numbers of tandem repeats analysis.
The variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTR) analysis is a method frequently employed as a molecular epidemiological tool for Mycobacterium tuberculosis genetic fingerprinting. In this study, we characterized the population of M. tuberculosis circulating in Mie Prefecture, Japan, and assessed the utility of the proposed JATA12- and 15-VNTR analyses of 158 M. tuberculosis clinical isolates ...
متن کاملFinding genes in Plasmodium falciparum.
enough that they might represent two portions of the same gene. Of the 215 protein-coding regions reported by Bowman et al., GlimmerM automatically finds 214 of them. (An earlier version of GlimmerM was provided to the annotators of chromosome 3.) The only gene missed is a short hypothetical protein (PFC0360w, 114 amino acids) with no homology to any known gene. Finally, given that chromosome 3...
متن کاملLack of association between dopamine receptor D4 variable numbers of tandem repeats gene polymorphism and smoking.
Nicotine addiction, related to cigarette smoking, develops as a product of the complex interactions between social, environmental and genetic factors. Genes encoding the components of the dopaminergic system are thought to be associated with smoking. Literature data showed not only an association, but also a lack of association between variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism locat...
متن کاملRESISTANCE OF PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM TO CHLOROQUINE IN SOUTH EASTERN IRAN
In vivo and in vitro assessments of the response of P. falciparum to chloroquine using WHO standard kits and techniques were carried out in I ran Shahr, Sistan and Baluchestan province of Iran in 1985. In the in vivo assessment, 24 malaria patients treated with chloroquine (25mg/kg over three days) were followed up for one to four weeks. The mean parasite clearance time was 4.3 days and in...
متن کاملAsparagine Repeats in Plasmodium falciparum Proteins: Good for Nothing?
Malaria is a deadly parasitic human disease that poses a significant health risk for about 3.3 billion people in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world [1]. The past decade has seen significant progress in our understanding of the biology of the most deadly parasite species, Plasmodium falciparum. The groundwork for this progress was laid by genome sequencing efforts that revealed a ...
