In Iraq generally and Kurdistan region specifically, goats are an important resource for meat milk production. It is well known that Myostatin genes (MSTN) have the essential role in growth development due to its crucial involvement muscle growth. The goal of this research was reveal polymorphism MSTN gene different Capra hircus breeds (native, Shami, Meriz Kamori goat) wild mountain goat (Capr...

We used chloroplast polymerase chain reaction-restriction-fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and chloroplast microsatellites to assess the structure of genetic variation and postglacial history across the entire natural range of the common ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.), a broad-leaved wind-pollinated and wind-dispersed European forest tree. A low level of polymorphism was observed, with only...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between an AluI RFLP of the calcitonin receptor (CTR) gene and quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters in Korean men, and the interaction with nutrition as a lifestyle factor. MATERIALS AND METHODS Broadband ultrasound attenuation, speed of sound and stiffness index of the calcaneus were measured using an ultrasound bone ...

conclusions this is the first research in comparing two genetic marker systems in p. variotti. we were prompted to explore polymorphisms utility in p. variotti with a look at using germplasm screening mapping of genome and strain improvement programs. results both systems discriminated 20 isolates of p. variotii successfully but were different in the amount of detectable polymorphism. using clu...

Phytoplasma-like symptoms of leaf yellowing and calyx malformation were observed in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), upward leaves fruit pepper (Capsicum annuum aerial tuber formation potato (S. tuberosum L.) during the survey performed late season (August to September) 2015 2016 Van province (Turkey). A total 100 samples tested by nested-PCR using universal primer pairs assess sanitary status ...

idiopathic chronic urticaria (icu), the most common form (70-80%) of chronic urticaria is supposed to have immune basis causes. it is speculated that the promoter polymorphism of tgf-β1 gene may be involved in icu. this condition is thought to affect at least 0.1% of the population and often can be severe and difficult to treat. a total of 40 patients with icu and 41 normal subjects were studie...

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes cancer-related decimations worldwide. The gastric infection at both stomach and duodenum with Helicobacter pylori inflammation by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?). aim study was to associate evaluate three TNF-? gene polymorphisms positions ?308 G/A, ?238 ?857 C/T risk GC. Methods: A total 156 individuals (consecutively diagnosed...

Paramecium jenningsi Diller et Earl, 1958 is classified in the so-called “aurelia” subgroup. The original assumption of the monomorphic status of P. jenningsi (Sonneborn 1970) has been repeatedly challenged over the years with the application of increasingly sophisticated methods and knowledge of the geographic distribution of particular strains of this species. Investigations concerning geneti...

Polymorphic changes in the GSTM1, CYP2E1 and the CYP2D6 genes have been reported to be individually associated with increased susceptibility to certain cancers. In the present study, the relationship between genetic polymorphism for these genes and development of urinary bladder cancer among Egyptian patients was investigated. Our results indicate that the frequency of bladder cancer patients w...
