Powerful tools for genetic analysis come of age.

Application of Genetic Programming as a Powerful Tool for Modeling of Cellulose Acetate Membrane Preparation

شناسایی ژن های عمده صفات وزن یک‌روزگی و شش‌هفتگی در یک لاین تجاری گوشتی با استفاده از روش تفرق بیزی

At the present study in order to detect major genes in a commercial broiler line Bayesian method as the most powerful statistical method in detection of major genes was used. After preliminary data editing, data of body weight (BW) at birth and six weeks of age of 14 and 35 generations respectively were analyzed using iBay software. The results verified segregation of major gene for two economi...

برآورد اثر متقابل ژن - محیط در سرطان پستان با مطالعات مورد - شاهد و فقط مورد

Background and Aim: Limitations of the traditional methods for assessing G*E interaction- including case-control studies- led to development of several non-traditional approaches. This study aims to assess the interaction between the genetic background (history of breast cancer in first degree relatives) and environmental influences (reproductive/menstrual factors) in patients with breast cance...

Isolation and Characterization of Microsatellite Markers from Endangered Species (Camelus bactrianus)

Iranian bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) is an endangered livestock breed with distribution in northwest of Iran. Microsatellites are a powerful marker for animal genetic and cell line identification and population genetic study. In this study, after producing more than 40 Camelus bactrianus fibroblast cell lines, microsatellites loci from the genome of Iranian Camelus bactrianus cell lines ...

Comparison of Trial and Error and Genetic Algorithm in Neural Network Development for Estimating Farinograph Properties of Wheat-flour Dough

Background and Objectives: Rheological characteristics of dough are important for achieving useful information about raw-material quality, dough behavior during mechanical handling, and textural characteristics of products. Our purpose in the present research is to apply soft computation tools for predicting the rheological properties of dough out of simple measurable factors. Materials and Me...
