Adaptive resonance theory (ART) describes a class of artiicial neural network architectures that act as classiication tools which self-organize, work in real-time, and require no retraining to classify novel sequences. We have adapted ART networks to provide support to scientists attempting to categorize tandem repeat DNA fragments from Onchocerca volvulus. In this approach, sequences of DNA fr...

finding repetitive subsequences in genome is a challengeable problem in bioinformatics research area. a lot of approaches have been proposed to solve the problem, which could be divided to library base and de novo methods. the library base methods use predetermined repetitive genome’s subsequences, where library-less methods attempt to discover repetitive subsequences by analytical approaches. ...

introduction: follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) is one of the pituitary glycoproteines that it consists of two subunits alpha and beta. the beta subunit is responsible for the biological activity of fsh. the aim of present study was isolation of the β subunit coding sequence containing its signal sequence from human genome and then cloning of the isolated sequence in ppic9 shuttle vector under...

Genomic DNA extraction with a high quantity and quality is a basic requirement in molecular biology. The DNA obtained was free of any contamination proteins, polysaccharide, polyphenols and colored pigments. These compounds would interfere with the genomic isolation procedures and downstream reactions such as restriction enzyme analysis and gene amplification. The isolated genomic DNA was fo...

Introduction: Glycoprotein B (gB) is the major antigen for induction of humoral responses against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) making it an attractive candidate for immune prophylaxis. In the present study, the humoral immune response of BALB/c mice to a truncated HCMV gB protein fused with GFP was evaluated. Methods: The truncated gB coding sequence was synthesized and cloned in pEGFPN1 eukary...

a reliable dna extraction method for use on extra virgin olive oil based on a commercial kit was defined, and the possibility of using this dna for fingerprinting the original cultivar was demonstrated. the genetic traceability of single-cultivar virgin olive oil from two cultivars (carolea and frantoio) was achieved by identifying the varieties from which they were produced. this involved the ...

The phylogenetic relationship of five sturgeon species in the South Caspian Sea was investigated using mtDNA molecule. Sequence analysis of mtDNA D-loop region of five sturgeon species [Great sturgeon (Huso huso), Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus), Ship sturgeon (Acipenser nudiventris), Stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus)] and DNA sequencing...
