the objective of the current study was to examine the extent of variation of genetic improvement in dam of dams genetic pathway after insemination of heifers with sex sorted semen. for this purpose three different sexed semen based strategies were examined including 1: continuous use of sex sorted semen (strategy cs), 2: use of sex sorted semen for the first and the second inseminations and use...

the rapid progress of science and technology, including genetic research and technology has been led to new hopes in the treatment of some genetic conditions and diseases. but these developments have also raised ethical and societal concerns in different communities. certainly, medical genetics knowledge should be applied so, we have to maximize its benefits and minimize any harm. in recent dec...

The aim of the present study was the genetic analysis of the Dniester population of sterlet Acipenser ruthenus and comparison of it to five other sterlet populations, in order to develop a population recovery plan. The genetic analysis of six sterlet populations from Eurasian rivers (Dniester, Dnieper, Danube, Volga, Kama and Ob) was carried out using microsatellite DNA markers. The genetic var...

dementia is a syndrome encompassing many intellectual domains that can be broadly defined as an overall decline in intellectual function including difficulties with language, simple calculations, planning and judgment and motor skills as well as loss of memory. a genetic cause is identified in only a minority of patients, but patients and their family members are frequently concerned about the ...

inflammatory bowel disease, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, tumours, are exam­ples of chronic degenerative diseases that have a high prevalence in developed nations. these chronic-non-communicable dis­eases have multifactorial aetiologies that considered to be caused by the interaction of environmental risk factors with multi­ple predisposing genes. gen...

clustering is the process of dividing a set of input data into a number of subgroups. the members of each subgroup are similar to each other but different from members of other subgroups. the genetic algorithm has enjoyed many applications in clustering data. one of these applications is the clustering of images. the problem with the earlier methods used in clustering images was in selecting in...

abstract         background and objective: paratuberculosis has been repeatedly reported from iranian ruminant herds. the extrem fastidious nature of mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculsos hinders genomic diversity studies of the pathogen. short sequence repeat analysis is one of the genome-based approches recently developed to overcome this difficulty. in this study we describe the app...

in a preliminary study, descriptive cross sectional, knowledge of 550 general practitioners, pediatrics and gynecology residents were evaluated in relation to medical genetics. a questionnaire was developed by researchers, and based on bloom's taxonomy; the lowest learning level (i.e. knowledge) was developed as multiple choices. nonrandom sampling (convenience sampling) was conducted that was ...
