It has been more than half a century that plant geneticists and breeders have been trying to assemble a combinationof genes in crop plants, in order to make them as suitable and productive as possible. Plant transformation technology incrop plants was first undertakenin the 1980s based on the ability of foreign gene integration into host plant genome andregeneration of transformed plant cells i...

Background & Aims: SLC26A4 gene mutations are the second identifiable genetic cause of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) after GJB2 mutations and are currently investigated in molecular diagnosis.In databases, several potential STR markers related to this region have been introduced. In this investigation, the characteristics and informativeness of D7S2425 CA repeat STR mar...

Molecular markers are an important tool for plant breeding. Since the 1980s, in response to technology development, molecular marker approaches have been further diversified. The establishment of new-generation sequencing and high-throughput phenotyping has greatly decreased time genotype large numbers individuals. For breeders who not very familiar with techniques want catch up advances field,...

In genetic studies, complex diseases are often analyzed searching for marker patterns that play a significant role in the susceptibility to the disease. In this paper we consider a dataset regarding periodontitis, that includes the analysis of nine genetic markers for 148 individuals. We analyze these data by using two APRIORI-based algorithms: APRIORISD and APRIORI with filtering. The discover...

Molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS) is currently being used to accelerate the development of rice cultivars with improved cooking quality and blast resistance at the University of Arkansas Rice Research and Extension Center (UA RREC) in Stuttgart. A co-dominant simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker, RM 190, is used to predict cooking quality of the milled grain, and a new automation-friendl...

In genetic studies, complex diseases are often analyzed searching for marker patterns that play a significant role in the susceptibility to the disease. In this paper we consider a dataset regarding periodontitis, that includes the analysis of nine genetic markers for 148 individuals. We analyze these data by using a novel subgroup discovering algorithm, named APRIORI-B, that is based on APRIOR...

In this study, SRAP molecular maker approach was performed to investigate genetic diversity in the Salvia genus. A total of 205 DNA bands were produced from PCR amplification of 11 Salvia species and populations using 25 selective primer combinations, of which 204 polymorphic genetic loci accounted. The total number of amplified fragments ranged from 3 to 15. The genetic similarities of 11 coll...

the applicability of rapds, aflps, and ssrs to examine genetic relationships in 36 populations of triticum boeoticum from west of iran was investigated. a total of 224 (135 polymorphic), 979 (429 polymorphic) and 246 (145 polymorphic) bands/alleles were detected using 14 rapd primers, 17 aflp primer combinations and 17 well distributed, mapped ssr markers, respectively. the polymorphic informat...
