Stitchprofiles.uio.no: analysis of partly melted DNA conformations using stitch profiles

Partly melted DNA conformations obtained with a probability peak finding method.

Peaks in the probabilities of loops or bubbles, helical segments, and unzipping ends in melting DNA are found in this article using a peak finding method that maps the hierarchical structure of certain energy landscapes. The peaks indicate the alternative conformations that coexist in equilibrium and the range of their fluctuations. This yields a representation of the conformational ensemble at...

مقایسه میزان جابه جایی عمودی و زوایای بدن در هنگام دویدن در افراد مبتلا به درد پهلو و سالم

 Aims and background: Exercise-related transient abdominal pain (ETAP) or side stitch is a  well known injury in many sport activities. The purpose of this study was to compare vertical displacement of the body and body angles during running in  people with side stitch and healthy people. Materials and Methods: Twenty six subjects (male students) in  Ferdowsi University of Mashhad were selected...

Characterization of Avian Pasteurella multocida Isolates by Protein Profiles and Restriction Enzyme Analysis of Chromosomal DNA

Preferential isolation of DNA fragments associated with CpG islands.

We describe a procedure for preferential isolation of DNA fragments with G+C-rich portions. Such fragments occur in known genes within or adjacent to CpG islands. Since about 56% of human genes are associated with CpG islands, isolation of these fragments permits detection and probing of many genes within much larger segments of DNA, such as cosmids or yeast artificial chromosomes, which have n...

Simple Sequence Repeats Amplification: a Tool to Survey the Genetic Background of Olive Oils

A reliable DNA extraction method for use on extra virgin olive oil based on a commercial kit was defined, and the possibility of using this DNA for fingerprinting the original cultivar was demonstrated. The genetic traceability of single-cultivar virgin olive oil from two cultivars (Carolea and Frantoio) was achieved by identifying the varieties from which they were produced. This involved the ...
