Continuous data mining has led to the generation of multi class datasets through microarray technology. New improved algorithms are then required to process and interpret these data. Cancer prediction tailored with variable reduction process has shown to improve the overall prediction accuracy. Through variable reduction process, the amount of informative genes gathered are much lesser than the...

Pathogenic species of Neisseria utilize variable outer membrane proteins to facilitate infection and proliferation within the human host. However, the mechanisms behind the evolution of these variable alleles remain largely unknown due to analysis of previously limited datasets. In this study, we have expanded upon the previous analyses to substantially increase the number of analyzed sequences...

conclusions it seems that besides the variety and prevalence of blatem and blactx, enormous mechanisms such as porin and leaking systems (efflux pumps) are responsible for the information of the a. baumannii resistance to disinfectants. the study on an accurate consideration of the resistance in strains and other microorganisms is advised. results in the current study, 131 a. baumannii isolates...

blast (magnaporthe grisea) is the most important disease of rice in mazandaran province, north of iran, which causes severe damages annually on susceptible cultivars. tarom mahalli is a local aromatic cultivar with high cooking quality and marketability, but very susceptible to blast. to protect this cultivar and similar susceptible cultivars against rice blast, farmers have to use high amounts...

background: the purpose of this study was to describe the association of mthfr gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (c677t and a1298c) and maternal supplementary folate intake with orofacial clefts in the iranian population. methods: in this case-control study, peripheral venous blood was taken from 65 patients with orofacial clefts and 215 unaffected controls for dna extraction and kept in edt...

this study aims at molecular identification of salmonella infantis isolated from backyard chickens and the detection of their antibiotic resistance genes. a total of 46 salmonella-suspected samples isolated from backyard chickens of northern iran were collected. serotyping was done by the traditional method and then confirmed by pcr. antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates against 13 antim...

the stripe (yellow) rust in wheat is one of the most important plant diseases in iran. since 1993 several epidemics have occurred in iran causing the breakdown of widely util-ized sources of resistance in wheat cultivars. twenty-seven pathotypes were identified during 2003 and 2004 in greenhouse tests. pathotypes 6e6a+, 6e22a+, 6e130a+, 6e134a+, 6e142a+, 6e158a+, 134e130a+ and 134e142a+ were mo...

background there is a potential risk for malignancy in patients with diabetes mellitus. theoretically, a noninvasive method for detection of precancerous changes can be conducted on oral exfoliated cell smears. objectives in this study, the immunocytochemistry of p53 in exfoliated oral mucosal cells in patients with type 2 diabetes was investigated. patients and methods oral mucosal smears were...

Sequence diversity and gene content distinguish most isolates of Helicobacter pylori. Even greater sequence differences differentiate distinct populations of H. pylori from different continents, but it was not clear whether these populations also differ in gene content. To address this question, we tested 56 globally representative strains of H. pylori and four strains of Helicobacter acinonych...

A modular platform for targeted delivery was based on a single chain variable (ScFv) fragment fused to maltose-binding protein (MBP). Using different maltosylated ligands it is likely target, transport drugs, or deliver genes specific cells.
