Minor histocompatibility antigens (MiHAs) are polymorphic peptides on the cell surface derived from self-proteins that capable to induce an immune response during allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation. Their presentation occurs in context of certain major complex (HLA – human leucocyte antigen) alleles. One most common HLA alleles is HLA-A*02:01. Accordingly, for a significant num...

Dry beans are considered to be a crop of great socio-economic importance, because they are an inexpensive source of nutrients and because their cultivation requires considerable manual labor. Studies of genetic diversity have been very important for genetic improvement programs, because they give parameters for the identification of genitors that can provide large heterosis effects and improved...

background: the human leukocyte antigen-drb1 (hla-drb1) locus is one of the most polymorphic human loci and has a crucial role in the immune system. assessing the allelic frequencies of hla-drb1 locus would be a fundamental factor in defining the origin of populations, relationships with other populations, disease association studies and the constitution of unrelated bone marrow donor registrie...

Allozyme genetic variability in five natural populations of Cyclobalanopsis championii (Fagaceae) in Taiwan was investigated using 12 loci from 9 enzyme systems. The average values of parameters describing within-population variation, expected heterozygosity (He = 0.151), the percentage of polymorphic loci per individual (P = 50%), the average number of alleles per locus (A = 1.7), effective nu...

The present study investigated and identified genetic diversity between native White chicken lines two commercial Broiler (Rose) Layer (Isa Brown) breeds using RAPD markers a sequencing technique. All primers applied produced 151 scorable bands with percentage polymorphic loci of 54.93 % within populations, as per the results marker. maximum amplified fragment by primer OPC-11 was 22 fewest OPA...

We characterized nine polymorphic microsatellite (six trinucleotides and three tetranucleotides) loci for the slatey-grey snake (Stegonotus cucullatus) from Australia, in order to study the mating system of this species. Based on a total of 100 samples, the number of alleles per locus ranged from three to 10, and the observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.62 to 0.86 and from 0.53 ...

the present study was to construct a parentage verification system for iranian caspian horse. a total number of 45 caspian horse samples including 14 foals for parentage verification, 17 stallion and 14 mare for individual identification were genotyped. genomic dna was extracted from whole blood and the genotype were analysed by pcr procedure and using 7 microsatellite markers (aht04, hms03, hm...

The present study was to construct a parentage verification system for Iranian Caspian horse. A total number of 45 Caspian horse samples including 14 foals for parentage verification, 17 stallion and 14 mare for individual identification were genotyped.

In this study, 23 genomic microsatellite DNA markers and 17 express sequence tag (EST)-derived microsatellites were developed and characterized using the fast isolation by AFLP of sequences containing repeats (FIASCO) method and data mining from public EST databases of mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi). These polymorphic microsatellite markers were then tested for polymorphism in a wild S. chua...
