Conventional gene selection methods based on principal component analysis (PCA) use only the first principal component (PC) of PCA or sparse PCA to select characteristic genes. These methods indeed assume that the first PC plays a dominant role in gene selection. However, in a number of cases this assumption is not satisfied, so the conventional PCA-based methods usually provide poor selection ...

the aim of this study was to analyze the polymorphisms existing in the 5´ flanking region, exonic, and some parts of the intronic regions as well as methylation analysis of the ednrb gene in cattle and goat. these regions were sequenced in three different breeds of cattle including sistani, golpayegani, and holstein and were compared with that of marghoz goat. the results identified that this g...
