abstract background: autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (adpkd) is an inherited disorder with genetic heterogeneity. up to three loci are involved in this disease, pkdi on chromosome 16p13.3, pkd2 on 4q21, and a third locus of unknown location. methods: here we report the first molecular genetic study of adpkd and the existence oflocus heterogeneity for adpkd in the iranian population...

samples from five sturgeon species including persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus), russian sturgeon (a. gueldenstaedti), great sturgeon (huso huso),ship sturgeon (a. nudi-ventris) and stellate sturgeon (a. stellatus) were collected from the south caspian sea. dna was extracted from the fins, eggs and skeleton muscle of the five species. rapd markers were used for identifying different kinds of...

in this study, the genetic diversity among paecilomyces variotti isolaes was investigated. sampling was performed from pistachio garden in seven geographical region of kerman province during 2011-2012. seventy isolates were identified as p. variotii species using morphological criteria. the genetic diversity among 20 selected isolates was assayed by variation at ssr marker bands using 12 pair p...
